How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Hey."

The sloth's voice drifted over.

"You don't have to be so quiet. I'm not interested in your sweet talk and I don't want to listen to it."

"Aha?"

Red Glass lifted her head off Black Sun's shoulder and raised an eyebrow at the sloth.

"Since you're too lazy to listen, why don't you also just not bother talking?"

"Exactly, that's right, why are you so talkative!"

Hei Yang, with his wife following suit, looked utterly displeased.

"If you're going to be a third wheel, you should be prepared to be one, okay? Not bothering you is a sign of your kindness, thank you!"

Sloth: "..."

"From birth until now, I haven't said as many words as I have in these few hours."

The sloth sighed and looked at the two of them with a melancholy expression.

"This might be the only time in my life I'll ever have the chance to interact with someone. Don't you want to say a few more words to me?"

"What does that have to do with us?"

Hei Yang said expressionlessly, "You chose this path yourself. You're unwilling to communicate with others, so is that our fault?"

"Ah this..."

The sloth felt as if it had been shot in the back.

"Exactly! Exactly! Moral blackmail, get out of here!"

Hong Li, following her husband's lead, wore a look of disdain.

"When we questioned you in court before, you stammered... no, you didn't say a word. Now you want to speak? Why should you?"

"Ah this..."

The sloth was shot in the back again.

"really!"

Hei Yang snorted: "Say what you want to say, don't say what you don't want to say. What do you take us for, a confidant's tree hole?"

Sorry, but I suggest you find a real tree hole to whisper your secrets to; a tree hole won't resist.

"Ah this..."

The sloth was shot in the back again.

"You're right."

Hongli nodded.

"If you really..."

"Stop! Don't stab me anymore, don't stab me anymore..."

The sloth looked utterly dejected.

"If you keep pricking the child, he'll turn into a hedgehog."

"You've been sleeping the whole time, yet you know so much..."

Hongli frowned, and halfway through her sentence, she suddenly came to her senses.

"Oh, I see. You mean the inheritance of memories? I understand, I understand. That's all!"

"So..."

The sloth said quietly, "I was born with knowledge, but I was also born lazy. I just want to sleep, I just don't want to do anything, and I just feel very tired. How can you blame me?"

"what?"

Hei Yang frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Then go and change it, just restrain your nature a little or something."

"No!"

The sloth looked resolute and self-righteous.

"I will never betray laziness in my life! I love the feeling of not having to think about anything!"

How can you like something if you don't think about it?

Hei Yang scratched his head, and images began to appear in his mind.

[It's...it's broken...it feels so good...I don't have to think about anything...I've given up thinking...I'm just enjoying it...Black Sun...I love it...]

"Bah bah bah!"

Hei Yang shook his head vigorously. Damn it, there's too much trash here. Get out of here!

"Ok?"

Hongli seemed to sense something, and turned to look at Heiyang with a suspicious expression, uttering a soul-searching question.

"I have a feeling that you're thinking some very impolite things..."

"illusion."

"I wasn't quite sure before, but now I believe it."

"What an illusion!"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Hongli rolled her eyes and looked at the sloth expressionlessly.

"Then there's nothing more to say. You chose this path yourself, so you deserve it."

"Feel the same."

Black Sun looked at the sloth and pointed to the sky.

"I'm telling you, why don't you hurry up and leave while you can still move... no, leave like an otter!"

That tiny bit of anxiety won't last long, and I feel your influence on the world is growing.

"Of course."

The sloth said matter-of-factly, "A creature like me, who entered your world through illegal means, will inevitably influence the surroundings over time."

The higher one's strength, the greater the influence on those around them. I'm at least a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, aren't I?

"That's it..."

Hongli nodded thoughtfully.

[Hongli: Did you hear that? Look at the mess you've made! You must have influenced me. Don't you feel any remorse if you don't take responsibility for me?]

[Heiyang: Don't make baseless accusations. I was a weakling for the first ten years or so, what impact could that have?]

[Hei Yang: Besides, Grandma Meng has already helped me get my identity renewed. I'm a legal citizen of the International Space Station now, okay?]

[Hongli: Wow, after saying all this, you mean you don't want to take responsibility?]

[Hei Yang: Cough cough, it's all my fault, I take full responsibility. I'll sell myself to pay off my debt, I'll offer myself to you, Lady Hong Li, please feel free to use me!]

[Hongli: That's more like it.]

"You might be curious..."

The sloth suddenly spoke, its face showing signs of weariness.

"Why does a lazy person like me still exist in this cruel world?"

"No, we're not curious at all. Laziness is a personality trait that hinders a good life, and I know that very well."

Hei Yang stretched out a hand.

"That's right, we two little trash are only alive because we're grateful to our parents, our neighbors, and the harmonious cultivation world!"

Hongli stretched out a hand.

Their hands came close together, then separated, then came close together again, then separated, like playing an accordion.

"Nobody knows laziness better than us!" *2

Sloth: "..."

"I bet you'd love to hear my story, wouldn't you?"

The sloth suddenly took on a weathered look.

"No, we don't want to!"*2

Hei Yang Hong Li stared with dead fish eyes, refusing to listen.

"That happened a long, long time ago..."

Hongli: "Hey, can't you understand human language? We don't want to listen. Who told you to start telling stories on your own initiative?!"

Hei Yang: "Damn it, it's that annoying forced dialogue cutscene again. The plot is completely pointless, but I still have to watch it, huh? Where's the skip button? I want to skip it!"

"When I was born, I was surrounded by my fellow clansmen, but there was no sound."
