How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

The author said that the third book will be the last one in the series, so we can finally have some fun. Consider it a consolation!

Although I know that revenge will only leave me with endless emptiness, at least until then, let's make our enemies even more miserable!

"..."

Listening to Hong Li's indignant accusations, Hei Yang shook his head. He could tell that Hong Li was indeed engrossed in the story, but if it really followed the plot she described, Hei Yang probably wouldn't be able to watch much longer before giving up.

Someone with such a fragile heart like him can't stand anything that's cruel or tragic. Hong Li is much better at this; she knows it's a knife but still swallows it down.

"Although I haven't read the first two books you mentioned, since you said these three books are by the same author..."

Hei Yang, not hesitant to speculate with the worst possible malice, said, "Since she wrote such a heart-wrenching storyline in the beginning, maybe she'll plant a thorn in the end as well?"

You know, with someone like her who's always rubbing people in the back, who knows if she'll get more and more addicted to writing?

For example, a popular character dies in the first movie, a popular character dies in the second movie, and a bunch of... well, you know what I mean?

"Pah, pah, pah! Shut up, you jinx! Who understands what you mean anyway!"

Hongli glared fiercely at Heiyang and silenced him.

"Children's words are innocent, children's words are innocent, don't take children's words seriously. May bad luck be gone, may bad luck be gone!"

"Hmph, little Black Sun, don't even think about disturbing my Dao Heart!"

Hongli took a deep breath and let out a soft hum.

"Tragedy is the destruction of something beautiful for people to see."

The protagonist of this book has nothing left to lose, so she can't possibly break my defenses anymore!

"..."

A few black dots popped up on Hei Yang's head. He reached out and brushed Hong Li's hair back, then couldn't help but rub her head a few times, earning her a roll of her eyes.

Do you want to see it?

Hongli shifted her body and asked Heiyang.

"Reading while walking is not a good habit..."

Hei Yang earnestly educated his girlfriend.

"Stop talking nonsense, watch it or don't."

"Look!"

"That's more like it, hehe."

Hongli's displeased little face instantly turned into a bright smile. She reached out and took out the parasol she had just bought, handing it to Heiyang. The latter naturally reached out and took it, opening the parasol to cast a shadow over the two of them.

Hei Yang looked up and examined the patterns on the umbrella. Red ribbons fluttered down around it, making it look like a gaudy umbrella!

To be honest, this umbrella's sunshade effect is not as good as any random big black umbrella.

However, this parasol was actually bought for wedding decoration, and its ornamental value outweighs its practical use, so this minor flaw can be ignored.

Everyone has their shortcomings, right? As long as it can play its proper role and decorate the wedding venue beautifully as Mom and the others said, that's enough!

As for decorative purposes, they certainly didn't just buy this one; their storage bags were filled with all sorts of colorful umbrellas, some the same and some different, quietly waiting to shine at the right moment.

Red ribbons obscured their faces, and their circular shadows moved slowly with the procession.

As they continued to move forward, such a conspicuous group naturally attracted people's attention.

Take Hei Yang and Hong Li, for example. They've been shut-ins for nearly twenty years, and the number of people they know in their hometown of Wuse City, apart from their immediate family, can be counted on one hand.

Moreover, those people who "know" each other don't have a particularly good relationship with each other. At most, they just know each other's full names and have exchanged a few words.

Most of the rest are the kind of familiar strangers who "look familiar but you don't know their name, where they live, whose family they belong to, or what to call them!"

I guess I just recognized him and knew he was from Five Colors City, but that's about it. I can only say I have a vague impression of him.

When others mention Hei Yang Hong Li, they refer to her as "Mu Guang's son" or "Yu Ying's daughter," because they don't know their full names...

Occasionally, when I stay home for a while and go to someone else's store to buy something, I might be asked, "Where are you two from? You look a bit unfamiliar."

At this point, Hei Yang Hong Li would usually give an awkward but impolite smile. After all, it wasn't the first time she had been expelled from Five Colors City, so she was used to it!

But Hei Yang and Hong Li's parents were different. They knew everyone in the neighborhood, from their hometown, and could talk to almost anyone they bumped into on the street. They always seemed to know each other very well.

"Goodness, Yu Ying, is this your daughter? She's so cute!"

"Ahem, this is my granddaughter, my daughter is behind me."

"Oh dear, look at my memory! I thought your daughter was only this small!"

"Brother Muguang, is that your daughter? She looks just like her mother, haha."

"Uh, that's my sister-in-law, Yiyi's younger sister. Have you forgotten that I only have Xiaoyang in my family? We don't have any daughters."

"Oh dear, so that's how it is. I'm so sorry, I always thought your Xiaoyang was a girl, hahaha..."

"Your kids are getting married? Oh? I thought yours were already married!"

“I always thought so too. I thought they were together all the time, so why hadn’t they had a child after all this time? I thought they had been married for many years…”

"..."

"It seems like someone is talking about the two of us."

Hei Yang suddenly said in a low voice.

"Who cares? What does it have to do with us if they're talking about us?"

Hongli revealed her crescent-shaped eyes and couldn't help but complain, "But it turns out we've been socially married for so many years already?"

"Ah this..."

Hei Yang silently turned the page, saying as he read, "We were truly innocent before the year before last, but they slandered us..."

"I feel like I lost out a lot..."

Hong Li pouted: "It's like when someone says you did something bad. If you actually did it, there's nothing to say. But if you didn't, you feel like you've missed an opportunity to do something bad for no reason."

"What do you mean by 'opportunity to do bad things'?!"

Hei Yang earnestly admonished, "Don't do evil just because it's insignificant!"

"It's just an example; I didn't do anything wrong."

Hongli rolled her eyes: "What I mean is, if I had known that in other people's eyes we were no longer innocent, I would have preferred to have you sooner. Members get early access, so the earlier you buy, the earlier you can enjoy!"

"Ah this..."

Black lines appeared on Hei Yang's forehead. He gave Hong Li a look, letting her figure it out for herself.

"Looking at me won't change anything. That's what I was thinking just now. Is it wrong to tell the truth?"

Hongli pursed her lips, her thoughts wandering: "Whenever I think of members, I always think of that girl Xiaoyun. She said she'd come to visit me in a while, but she didn't give a specific time..."

"Just wait, it won't be until at least February."

Hei Yang explained, "Yesterday after dinner, I went out to take out the trash and happened to see my third uncle cleaning bird droppings off his hair next to the trash can. Cough cough, that's not important..."

I was bored, so I chatted with my third uncle for a bit, and he said he heard from his father, my maternal grandfather, that my grandfather heard from the sect leader of the Medicine King Sect…

"stop!"

Hongli patted Heiyangxia with the back of her hand and said speechlessly, "Just get to the point!"

"Oh, the main point is that I heard the cultivation world is going to hold another disciple competition this February, which is held every few years or so. It seems to be to celebrate the Five Elements Sect's advancement to a holy land or something..."

At that time, all the prominent sects in the cultivation world will send their elders and outstanding disciples to the Five Elements Sect for a gathering.

"Then we'll all have a good time eating and drinking, watching the disciples play around, and maybe even discussing some business collaborations..."

"Oh ho, I know this one well!"

Hong Li's eyes lit up: "In sect martial arts competitions, based on my years of experience reading novels, the first place winner is usually some unknown junior disciple who then becomes an overnight sensation, slaps the faces of geniuses from various sects, and breaks a bunch of records!"

"Tsk tsk, just hope the blood doesn't splatter on me..."

Hei Yang rolled his eyes and retorted, "But judging from your interested look, do you actually want to represent the Five Elements Sect in the battle?"

"Come on, I'm a sect leader-type NPC who awards prizes to people now. I don't belong to the younger generation anymore, okay?"

Hongli waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Whoever wants to go can go, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

"really!"

"Xiao Li, Xiao Yang!"

Qing Lianlian jogged over and handed them two candied hawthorns.

"Your aunt bought these for you, one for each of you, no fighting over them!"

"Ah, thank you, Aunt Lianlian!"

"Hey, you're welcome!"

Qing Lianlian nodded in satisfaction, then quickly turned and ran away: "Little Fire, wait a minute, Auntie, don't you dare steal the leftovers..."

"The fire's gone!"

"Nonsense, what's that near your mouth!"

"That's what Auntie just gave Xiao Huo to eat!"
