How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hongling glanced at the spirit stones beside Hongli and noticed that one of them had a noticeable crack. Her lips twitched involuntarily.

Moreover, isn't the rate of consumption a tiny bit faster?

"boom!"

Another burst of flames exploded, and sparks landed on Hongling's robes, making her question the meaning of life.

I glanced at Xiao Li's expression; she remained serene...

Wait, has Xiao Li already kicked the bucket?

Hongling was suddenly startled.

"boom!"

Hongling: "..."

She seems to be alive. Shouldn't she leave for a bit? The fire is burning too brightly...

"..."

Stay strong, hold on...

Hongli had swallowed several mouthfuls of blood, but her stubborn, defiant spirit flared up again. She refused to believe she could guess wrong one more time!

"boom!"

Hongli subconsciously puffed out her cheeks, trying to hold back, but found that this time the situation seemed a little different.

The spiritual energy suddenly burst through the meridians, its speed suddenly becoming rapid. It traveled through the limbs and bones, washing away the turbid energy in the body and gradually assimilating it into innate energy with a touch of red heat!

[Your bound companion (Hong Li) has broken through to the first level of Qi Refining; you have also broken through to the first level of Qi Refining!]

[Congratulations to the bound user for successfully entering the Qi Refining stage! Voice communication, image communication, and video communication are now available!]

Hard work pays off; you've taken the first step in overcoming laziness!

"Ah this..."

Sensing the information flashing through her mind, Hong Li was somewhat speechless. Was she sure it was she who had overcome laziness, rather than laziness that had overcome her?

"call--"

Hong Li gently opened her mouth and exhaled her last breath: "I guess that counts as passing the test!"

Hongli opened her eyes and was immediately met with a sea of ​​fire, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

What happened?

Has there been a fire?

Where is my aunt?

Was it burned to ashes?

Just as Hongli was exploring the philosophy of life, a spark flew onto her, startling her.

but……

It doesn't seem to hurt...

Hong Li suddenly realized that it was the fire element overflowing from her body that ignited the spirit stones and spiritual energy around her, but because they came from the same source, they wouldn't easily burn her.

Even her long hair remained perfectly intact.

"Speaking of which, why did I grow my hair long in the first place? Short hair is definitely more comfortable and convenient."

Hongli fell into deep thought: "I remember... wait, it's a bit cool now..."

Hongli's expression froze instantly as she looked at her body: "Damn it, where are your clothes? They burned away with Auntie, didn't they!"

Just as they were bewildered by the crimson flames, the lamp beside the door flickered.

"Who is it?"

Hongli quietly opened the door a crack, peering out through the gap, one hand on the door, the other ready to close it at any moment.

"Who else could it be?"

Hongling helplessly held up the clothes in her hand: "Here I am, I brought you some new clothes."

"oh oh."

Hongli pulled her aunt inside, locked the door with a "click," and quickly wrapped herself up.

"Why is it a skirt?!"

Hongli looked down at her own white legs and tilted her head: "I rarely wear them."

"no way."

Hongling waved her hand: "These are the only extra clothes I have. The pile of clothes you prepared were burned, and I can't find any others."

After a pause, Hongling's face lit up with excitement: "Although the process was quite tortuous, as expected of you, Xiaoli, you really succeeded in breaking through to the Qi Refining stage on your first try!"

That way, you can easily go down the mountain and buy the clothes you want in the city, isn't that great!

"Wait……"

Hongli suddenly caught a crucial piece of information: "The pile of clothes I prepared... no way..."

Hongli stiffly turned her head to look at where the blanket containing comics and snacks should have been...

Cardiac arrest!

As expected of Hong Li, she is truly a strong girl.

She didn't cry from the pain of going into a frenzy, nor did she cry from vomiting three liters of blood, nor was she frightened to tears even when her clothes were burned—she remained completely composed!

But, but...

She just got the comic book not long ago, she hasn't even had a chance to enjoy it yet!

I can't hold it any longer!

Tears streamed down my face!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 38. It's midnight! Log in! So many regrets, so many hopes…

"Waaaaah, waaaaah, waaaaah..."

In the early hours of the morning, lying on her side in bed, a heartbroken young woman is experiencing online depression.

"Heiyang, can you hear me! I'm crying so hard! Waaaaah..."

"I heard it, I heard it."

Hei Yang's weak voice echoed in Hong Li's mind: "I was wondering where the water was boiling, but it turns out it was you who was boiling water."

"What a terrible way to boil water! I'm crying, waaaaaah..."

Hongli choked back tears, "I'm so sad, so very sad!"

"I know, I know you're very sad."

Hei Yang rolled over on the bed: "I was just wondering what you would say to me when the voice function was first turned on."

As a result, you've been crying here for half an hour in the middle of the night...

If I suddenly died, would you cry so sadly?

Hmm, I'm a little doubtful. I don't think so. Tch, so I guess I don't even hold a place in your heart as much as a comic book? It was all a waste of my time.

"I'm already in so much pain, and you're still making sarcastic remarks. Waaaaah, Hei Yang, you have no conscience!"

"What can I do?"

Hei Yang said helplessly, "I didn't set fire to your comics, so crying to me won't do any good."

"Waaaaah, I know it's my fault this time, it has nothing to do with you. I was too lazy and didn't do my homework beforehand, waaaaah..."

Hongli's eyes were red: "But, I'm just so sad and heartbroken. I just got it and haven't even had a chance to warm it up yet..."

"It's all burned to ashes, isn't it hot enough?"

Hei Yang couldn't help but complain, "If you were given the chance to do it all over again, would you still slack off like this?"

"It won't happen again, sob sob..."

"to be honest."

"meeting!"

"Grass."

Hei Yang couldn't help but curse, "Then you deserve it!"

"That's different!"

Hongli sniffled: "Well, even though I'll still be lazy sometimes, since I knew in advance, I'll definitely take precautions against fire, right? Waaaaah, my comics—"

"Ah this..."

Hei Yang was at a loss: "Then let me think of a way to comfort you?"
