How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"alright."

Hei Yang said lazily, "But you woke up very early today. Also, how did you escape from my arms? You're disgusted with me, aren't you?"

"Ha, if I dislike you..."

Hongli took a bite of the sesame candy she had somehow gotten her hands on, and then mumbled somewhat indistinctly, "If I disliked you, I wouldn't be sitting next to you. I'd rather lie down on a chair in the living room than sit here."

"Aha?"

A question mark appeared above Hei Yang's head.

"Stop 'haha,' your body temperature is like an ice cube right now, my god, am I getting my comeuppance for talking bad about Xiao Huo behind his back before...?"

Hongli looked at Heiyang helplessly.

"I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending. Can't you even tell yourself?"

"Look in the mirror, brother."

Hongli handed over a mirror.

"Look at your face, are you even alive? Am I supposed to be planning a ghost marriage tomorrow?"

"Uh……"

Hei Yang frowned, looking at his handsome yet icy reflection in the mirror with a puzzled expression.

His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and his eyes were frighteningly black. He looked like some kind of vampire count, as if he were about to die.

"What the hell?!"

Hei Yang was startled and turned to look at Hong Li with a shocked expression.

"Where is my yang energy? Where has my beloved concubine hidden my yang energy?!"

"You're the one who sucks people's yang energy! What kind of monster am I? You're a fucking idiot..."

A bunch of tic-tac-toe symbols popped up above Hong Li's head as she gritted her teeth and yelled, "Isn't that the other shore divine power you're freaking fusing with? What does that have to do with me?!"

"Oh hoo!"

Hei Yang suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

"You bastard!"

Hong Li immediately launched into a tirade, giving Hei Yang a thorough dressing-down.

"Do you know how much I was hurt emotionally?"

Overwhelmed with sorrow, Hongli burst into tears.

"In the quiet night, the girl was sleeping soundly, her warm boyfriend nestled against her strong chest, her cheek pressed against his firm chest. A slight smile played on her lips; she was probably having a sweet dream."

Hong Li took a deep breath, her voice trembling.

"And then you suddenly died!"

Hei Yang: "..."

"What do you mean I suddenly died...?"

Hei Yang's lips twitched: "Can't this little girl speak a little nicer..."

"I think you're a jerk!"

Hong Li said irritably, "It was fine just hugging, but I was rubbing my face against it, and to make matters worse, I even stuck my tongue out and coughed... In short, I was almost stuck to it, you know!"

At least minus forty degrees Celsius, and below that, what does that mean? It's like being thrown from next to a furnace into an ice cave, drinking hot milk with a piece of ice stuffed in my mouth that wouldn't melt. I was so cold my heart almost stopped!

"Can't you feel it yourself? I'm sitting next to you right now, and there's a cold draft blowing right around me! Ugh!"

Hongli sighed and waved the novel in her hand.

"So I can only read novels to distract myself and warm myself up at the same time. Hmm, the plot is getting exciting. Things change, so don't underestimate a poor girl!"

Hei Yang: "..."

"But to be honest..."

Hongli pointed to another book on the bedside table.

"I originally wanted to read that one, the one we didn't finish reading on the airship. Hmm, I felt it was more exciting, the kind that makes you lose your mind!"

But the moment I saw that thing, I just wanted to hug you, and the moment I did, you'd freeze into a big, stupid dog...

"Ah this..."

Hei Yang's lips twitched.

"Well, for a dignified Golden Core cultivator, being impervious to heat and cold is a basic skill, isn't it...?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Of course I deliberately adjusted my temperature sensitivity to a normal level, just so I could enjoy the warmth of your arms!"

Hongli sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"I suspect your brain has been frozen shut, asking silly questions first thing in the morning."

"Uh, I do feel like my thinking is a bit slow..."

Hei Yang rubbed his temples.

"My mind is filled with life and death, and all my RAM is used to analyze the other shore's supernatural powers."

"what."

Hongli's expression gradually returned to calm, and she turned her head to continue reading.

"I understand, I understand. You slowly comprehend the supernatural power. I'll quietly read a book for a while, and you quietly watch me for a while."

"Tsk, thinking about it that way, you're actually the one who got the better deal!"

"Huh? How did I make money?"

"Am I not more interesting than a book?"

Hei Yang: "..."

No, his thinking is a bit slow right now. He's no match for Hong Li in a verbal battle, and blindly starting a fight will only make him look foolish...

They're just out of their minds; Hei Yang feels like his head is frozen solid.

Actually, despite his low body temperature, the real effect of the Other Shore technique is the chilling of the soul; the physical coldness is just a side effect.

This was to allow him to experience the realm between life and death, so that he could better master supernatural powers, which is why he dreamt of visiting the underworld.

Hei Yang knew that Hong Li had also seen that his symptoms were in his soul rather than his body; otherwise, she could have simply used Nirvana Fire to solve Hei Yang's problem.

As for directly burning the soul, Hong Li dared not, for fear of causing Hei Yang any problems.

She carefully examined him with her Unwavering Eyes and found that his figure was truly captivating. She also found that Hei Yang was not in immediate danger, so she did not rush to take action but instead stayed by his side to observe the situation.

No one knows how much effort Hongli put into the book, but she will be able to discover it the moment Heiyang wakes up.

At the same time, the temperature perception was kept at a normal level so as to detect any further abnormal changes in Hei Yang's body temperature as soon as possible.

Hongli knew that Xiaoyang understood the love his mother gave him; it was just that the child was shy and embarrassed to express it explicitly. She understood, she understood, and as a mother, she wouldn't care about such things!

"Hey."

Hei Yang's suspicious voice pulled Hong Li back to reality.

"Why did your expression suddenly become so... uh, so kind?"

Are you trying to take advantage of me again?

"Huh? Huh?"

Hongli looked puzzled: "Heiyang, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"Okay, I know the answer."

Hei Yang was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he took out the Tranquilizing Incense he had obtained earlier, the kind that could accelerate the cultivation of supernatural powers.

"We still need to discuss wedding arrangements tomorrow; I can't go with a cold face."

"You have that damn cold face, but you're right, your parents are definitely going to be scared of you..."

A black line appeared on Hong Li's forehead as she glanced at the "Tranquilizing and Enlightenment Incense" in Hei Yang's hand and couldn't help but complain, "I've wanted to say this for a long time. Why isn't this thing straight? It's curved, and in circles..."

"Right, right? It looks so nostalgic."

Hei Yang revealed his crescent-shaped eyes, looked at the calming and enlightenment incense in his hand, and couldn't help but complain, "Look at this mosquito coil, it looks just like the calming and enlightenment incense."

"Oh hoo..."

Hei Yang pulled out a small piece of iron from inside, and a row of black lines appeared on his head.

"How thoughtful of them, they even provided a stand."

Shaking his head, Hei Yang straightened the support frame, and Hong Li suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute."

Hei Yang: "?"

"Don't do it in the bedroom, it'll definitely choke you!"

Hongli pointed to the door and hummed softly.

"Go outside and do it yourself, don't disturb my reading!"
