How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hei Yang suddenly realized: "As time goes by, and as the time I spend apart from her gradually increases, I seem to be getting more and more impatient."

Am I...missing her?!

"Can't!"

Hei Yang's pupils dilated: "Hei Yang, have you become a useless piece of trash who can't live without that girl? Have some self-respect, okay? Women will only slow down your sword-drawing speed!"

But wasn't the reason he drew his sword for that girl?

"Damn it! I'm a piece of trash!"

Hei Yang gritted his teeth and pounded his head, cursing himself mercilessly: "Damn it, you good-for-nothing, you coward! How could you panic over such a trivial matter?"

"But...this is no small matter!"

Hei Yang's eyes widened suddenly: "Yes, this is a major life event, and it's never too important to take it seriously. There's nothing shameful about it. I'm so successful!"

"Yes, yes, that's right..."

Hei Yang's eyes glazed over, gradually losing focus, and he kept muttering, "This is a major life event, it needs careful planning and arrangement... I want it this way, this way, and that way..."

……

"This, this, and that..."

Hei Changhong sat on the steps in front of the Hei family's house, watching dejectedly as precious items were carried out of the house one by one.

"That bed is made of top-quality sandalwood!"

That's an incense burner from the third year of the Qiankun calendar!

And that one, that's... oh, that's the teacup I bought last week... It's not very expensive, but I really like it!

"Honey, if you're reluctant to part with him, then don't agree to Xiaoyang's conditions..."

An old man, looking at the intense aura of despair emanating from Hei Changhong, couldn't help but speak up.

"That child replaced Granny Mi's tiger-head cane with a broken wooden stick, saying that it didn't need to be so exquisite..."

I don't think this will help our family's revival..."

After a pause, the old man lowered his voice and muttered, "Judging from this, it looks more like they're ransacking the house! Is this really okay?"

"Uncle, please don't ask me, I don't know either."

Hei Changhong's voice was hoarse: "But I promised not to interfere with Xiaoyang's decision. Xiaoyang finally changed his mind and agreed to come back and help us. If he were to go against his word, he would be too ungrateful."

Even if we sell our entire fortune, as long as Xiao Yang, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, is still on our side, we'll still be the ones who profit..."

"dad!"

Blackie ran over with a pair of jade bracelets in his hand: "Look at these, they were left to Mom by Grandma..."

"Sold it, sold it!"

"Oh!"

After a while...

Blackie ran over again: "Dad, there's also your favorite rosewood recliner..."

"Sold it, sold it!"

"Oh--"

"Dad, there's also this piece of calligraphy..."

"Sold, sold..."

"Oh……"

"dad!"

"Sold it, sold it!"

"Uh, okay then..."

"Wait! What are you carrying?!"

The old man glared and snapped, "I didn't tell you to sell your father! Put him down right now!"

"oh---"

Chapter 62 How to maintain a long-distance relationship?!

"Young master, young master, your pork bone noodle soup is here."

Zhang San gently knocked on the door, and after receiving a positive response, he pushed the door open and entered: "Then I'll put it here for you. Remember to eat it while it's hot."

"Ah, thank you, Uncle Zhang."

Hei Yang was sitting at his desk with a furrowed brow, looking completely absorbed. Hearing Zhang San's words, he finally raised his head slightly and forced a smile: "Don't worry, I'll eat in a bit."

"oh oh."

Zhang San nodded, looked at Hei Yang's expression, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Um, young master, is something troubling you?"

"Oh? Oh! It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm fine."

Hei Yang paused for a moment, then waved his hand: "Everything else is fine, but why is it so noisy outside? Have they started fighting?"

"Ah, no."

Zhang San scratched his head and said honestly, "They're just haggling with the buyers they've contacted. Should I go and tell them to be quiet?"

"No need, no need. Bargaining proves they're trying their best. Don't discourage them."

Hei Yang quickly refused: "But we must be careful not to let anyone secretly line their own pockets and use this as an excuse to bleed the family dry again."

"Don't worry, everyone's watching!"

"Well, that's good."

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now?"

"Okay, by the way, please also be careful with Brother Hei Chen and Second Grandfather, and don't disturb their rest."

"Yes, I understand!"

"..."

Watching Zhang San carefully close the door, Hei Yang sighed, then turned his gaze back and took the papers he had hidden under the desk and spread them out on the table again.

Ignoring the strangely artistic lines that Hei Yang scribbles when he's upset, the text on them comes into view.

How to maintain a long-distance relationship?

【First,……】

【second,……】

"..."

"But then again, even though we're engaged, we've never even confessed our feelings to each other. Is this really a long-distance relationship, or just wishful thinking on my part?"

Hei Yang sighed and slumped onto the table, looking utterly resigned: "Besides, I can't think of any good solutions at all. In my past life, all I did was study, and I know absolutely nothing about this!"

"Is it really necessary to consult elders with rich life experience about this kind of thing?"

Hei Yang looked distressed: "But how can I possibly say something like this? It's too embarrassing!"

With a sigh, Hei Yang sat up straight again, looking at the "tips for long-distance relationships" that he had spent half a day summarizing with a look of utter disdain. An unreliable aura emanated from him, making him feel uneasy.

[The first rule of long-distance relationships: First, you need to be in a romantic relationship to have a long-distance relationship, so you need to confess your feelings first!]

"Huh...did I write this?!"

Hei Yang's expression stiffened, and he awkwardly looked away: "Ahem, that's not important, next, next!"

[Second tip for long-distance relationships: After establishing a relationship, first figure out why you're in a long-distance relationship. Is it due to work, or family circumstances that are causing the separation?]

"Ah, it seems I played a part in her being arrested..."

Hei Yang felt even more guilty: "Ah, no, how could I be such a beast? This is completely beyond my control, yes, beyond my control, it has nothing to do with me!"

Sure enough, what I wrote was unreliable—all that trashy long-distance relationship advice. Next, next!

[The third tip for long-distance relationships: Are you sure you and your partner understand each other? If so, try to put yourself in your partner's shoes and think about how you would act if you were in that situation. This can clear up many misunderstandings between you.]

"Ha, isn't that good? Of course I know her well, I know her better than her parents do!"

Hei Yang finally regained some confidence: "Hmm, very good. Now, put yourself in her shoes. If I were her, how would I think of Hei Yang right now?"

"Well……"

Hei Yang frowned, adjusted his expression slightly, and got into character. Then, he subconsciously opened his mouth and cursed, "Hei Yang, you dog! Ugh, it's infuriating! Why wasn't he the one who was captured? Why!"

He should be the one diligently cultivating while I relax and enjoy myself! Damn it, ughhhhh!

"..."

Hei Yang blinked, feeling even more uneasy.

"Uh, no, no, that's definitely not what she was thinking!"
