How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Black Sunshine quickly retreated: "Good night! Sweet dreams!"

"???"

Hongli's face was filled with disbelief: "You actually dared to block me, Heiyang? Heiyang!"

"Hello, the user you are calling is sleeping. Please call again tomorrow morning. It's all very incoherent."

"Damn, you must be seriously ill."

Hongli covered her face, unable to bear the sight: "Even if you try to hide it, I can still tell the difference in your voice, okay? Don't give me that automatic reply!"

"Goodnight, this is the third time! I advise you not to be ungrateful and just go to sleep!"

"Okay, okay, okay."

Hongli rolled her eyes: "Good night, sweet dreams."

Chapter 40 The World Is So Wonderful~

Good morning, Auntie.

Hong Li rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door. Standing outside was her master, Hong Ling.

"Oh dear, my little Li, look at the time! It's getting late!"

Hongling stepped into the room, grabbed Hongli's arm and moved her to the dressing table, then pressed her down into a seat.

"Look, look."

Hongling muttered to herself as she combed her niece's hair: "How did you sleep last night? Your hair is all messed up."

And there are still watermarks on her face! My goodness, Xiao Li, do you drool in your sleep? Refining your innate state doesn't actually make you a baby again!

"what?"

Hongli squinted at the bewildered girl in the mirror, and it took her a while to realize it was her. As for what her aunt had just said...

Hmm, I was asleep and didn't hear it...

Thinking about it, Hongli couldn't help but yawn again. Someone was right, even if you have a great body, laziness is innate.

"Mom...no...Auntie..."

Hongli's head swayed from side to side as Hongling's hand moved: "I don't usually tie my hair in a single ponytail. I just comb it a couple of times and it's fine, anyway, it gets messy in a little while..."

Well, isn't hair just something convenient for blocking out the glaring sun and making it easier to sleep...?

"Xiao Li, what are you saying?!"

Hongling said earnestly, "Today you're moving to the outer sect's mountain gate. You'll probably be dealing with your senior brothers and sisters, so you need to present yourself as positive, efficient, and decisive in front of everyone."

"Ah, maybe."

Hongli felt that, given her generally lazy personality, she probably wouldn't even notice that her fellow disciples had moved in.

"So, Auntie, don't worry."

Hong Li's voice was languid: "As the saying goes, a cultivator is calm and composed, unfazed by change, well... um, I can't remember the words."

Anyway, a truly enlightened person must be someone with a calm and composed temperament like me. Aunt, you're too anxious; that's not good.

Look at those flowers, look at that water, and look at those mountains, the world is so beautiful... mmm zzzzz

"Oh my God."

Hongling quickly grabbed Hongli's chin, somewhat exasperated: "Seriously? She can fall asleep like this?"

In an instant, Hongling felt as if she had returned to her childhood, dressing up dolls with her friends.

The only difference is that a rag doll is ultimately an inanimate object, while Hong Li... well, she doesn't even look alive!

That’s okay!

……

"Well, lately I've been..."

Standing in front of the mirror, Hongli fell into deep thought: "Have I grown again? It seems like... if it was before, now..."

Hongli placed her hand on her head and slowly moved it forward, her eyes moving upward as she carefully observed with a furrowed brow.

Suddenly, Hongli's eyes widened: "This wave, this wave..."

[Hongli: Heiyang! Heiyang! I've grown taller again, at least three centimeters!]

[Hongli: Heiyang? Heiyang!]

[Hei Yang: Huh? Who? Oh, what's wrong? You scared me...]

[Hei Yang: Hmm, you've grown taller, that's good. Are you 1.6 meters yet?]

[Hongli: Hmm, it's hard to say...]

[Hongli: But I feel like it's almost there! Just a tiny bit higher and...]

[Heiyang: Okay, good luck. I'm going to sleep a little longer... Goodnight.]

[Hongli: ???]

[Hongli: What time is it?!]

"Xiao Li?"

Hongling's voice came from outside: "Is it ready yet?"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

Hongli quickly responded, spun around in place, checked that she hadn't forgotten anything in the house, picked up the bundle beside her, slung the new spear over her shoulder, and that was all the luggage she had for moving.

Originally...

These bags should contain a warm blanket, snacks, novels, and comics...

Waaah, I don't want to think about it anymore, it makes me feel so sad!

As she stepped out of the house and was about to lock the door, Hongli suddenly remembered that she wouldn't be living there anymore.

She shook her head, feeling a little uncomfortable as her ponytail swayed; she felt like something was missing from her head.

Sure enough, it's better to restore my hair to its original state after my aunt leaves!

"Oh, Xiao Li, you're finally here."

Hongling gently patted the crimson giant bird beside her: "Let me introduce you. This is Xiao Li, from the Li Huo He clan, and a good companion who often accompanies our Fire Department disciples!"

"Aha?"

Hong Li tilted her head, looking at the giant bird that was as bright as a flame: "You're also called Xiao Li?"

"It's different, it's the 'Li' in 'Li Huo' (meaning 'separation from fire'

Li Huohe spoke up defiantly, her voice like a little girl's: "Don't get them mixed up!"

"Ok."

Hong Li casually used the "See Through Everything" skill and was somewhat surprised to find that this little flamingo was actually quite powerful.

Name: Xiao Li

Race: Southern Ming Fire Crane

Realm: Fifth Level of Qi Refining

Identity: Spirit Beast of the Fire Department of the Five Elements Sect, contracted spirit beast of inner disciple Hongling

Well, to be honest, if it really came down to a fight, Hong Li might not be able to beat this guy, unless he allowed her to call in reinforcements or something.

Moreover, she suddenly remembered the weasel in Five Colors City, which seemed to have just begun its Qi Refining process and was a self-taught one, making it worlds apart from a genuine immortal spirit beast.

Even so, she was still able to stir up trouble in Five Colors City. In comparison, Hong Li had a better understanding of the so-called difference between immortals and mortals.

Even though it's just the first step on the path of cultivation, the Qi Refining stage at the bottom, in the mortal world he's an unattainable immortal.

Fortunately, the righteous path is thriving in this world, and there are deterrents and constraints on all kinds of demons and monsters; otherwise, the lives of mortals would certainly be difficult.

My aunt told me that the defensive formation of Five Colors City had exhausted some of its energy when that evil Taoist assassinated the city lord, which caused the formation's energy to run out several years early, giving that weasel an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Otherwise, even in a rural place like Five Colors City, those minor demons wouldn't be able to enter so easily; they would be suppressed by the formation and forced to reveal their true forms on the spot.

All I can say is that I'm grateful to the harmonious cultivation world for allowing someone like Hong Li, a lazy bum, to live such a long and peaceful life to this old age.

Lost in thought, Hong Li had already been gently pulled onto the back of the Fire Crane by Hong Ling. In the blink of an eye, they had flown dozens of miles away, disappearing into the clouds like an arrow with its tail feathers on fire.

This feeling of flying in the sky was a first for Hongli since she was born, so she chose to hold on tightly to her aunt to avoid falling down—it wasn't the first time she had ever felt like she was falling from a great height!

If this falls, there probably won't be anyone to cushion the fall...

"Don't be afraid."

Seeing that the petite Hong Li was curled up in a ball, Hong Ling couldn't help but smile and comfort her, "Xiao Li... uh, Huo He's innate true energy will be there to stop you from falling."

"What if you fall down?"

The dumpling named Hongli shrank even smaller.
