How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hei Yang and Hong Li exchanged a glance, smiled slightly, and said in unison, "A piece of cake!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 455 I am the King of Babylon, and I can legislate here!

On the main street of Wusecheng, a large family strolled leisurely.

The young couple, Hei Yang and Hong Li, along with their beloved daughter and their respective sets of parents, were present.

For the two families who mostly remain detached from their own clans, this scale of action was almost equivalent to the entire Hei Yang Hong Li family joining the fray.

During this time period, there were quite a few families like them out together, though not everywhere.

After all, the end of the year is approaching, and some preparations need to be made now, otherwise we'll really have to wait until next year!

Surely no one would be shameless enough to procrastinate until the end of the year, or even until the day itself, to prepare, right?

(Hei Yang Hong Li: ???)

(Hei Yang Hong Li: Who do you think you are!)

It has been almost three years since the incident with the weasels, and in these three years, Five Colors City has become noticeably quieter.

Although everyone continues to live their own lives, working and having fun, a shadow still hangs over everyone's hearts.

Some things, the more you try to forget them, the more you can't forget them.

Many people are trapped in the memories of the past because the people who should have been there are still there, and there are not so many regrets.

But there are still so many things we cherish around us, making us reluctant to leave and unwilling to lose them again.

So, the heartbroken people lay on the ground in a daze for a while, then slowly began to sway again, their steps gradually becoming lighter...

To be honest, the past two years have been much quieter for the residents of Wusecheng than ever before. Even someone like Heiyang Hongli, who usually doesn't care much about the New Year, can easily sense the difference in atmosphere.

The most direct feeling they had was that the Spring Festival had become much easier in the past two years—at least for them.

Because unlike in previous years, they no longer had to be taken around to visit relatives and friends to offer New Year's greetings.

This saves a lot of trouble from having to outwit and outmaneuver those elders.

However, despite the relaxed atmosphere, Hei Yang Hong Li didn't like the stuffy feeling, which was a different matter from being relaxed.

But nearly three years have passed, and some wounds that could not heal have gradually become a habit. The wounded heart has sprouted new shoots, and the long-lost festive atmosphere seems to be slowly reviving.

People were coming and going on the street, chatting and laughing.

The warm sun on the horizon casts a hazy glow, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

My parents are right. If you've been cooped up indoors for too long or haven't been in contact with people for too long, you need to come out for some fresh air and to clear your head.

Feeling the harmonious atmosphere around her, Hei Yang Hong Li's slightly annoyed mood from being forced to get up was swept away, and she subconsciously smiled.

"Mom and Dad, Xiao Huo is going to check on Grandma and the others."

Xiao Huo let go of his parents' hands and waved happily ahead.

"uh-huh."

"Slower."

"Don't be naughty."

"Be obedient."

Hei Yang Hong Li, who was hanging at the very back of the line, naturally had no objections. She simply gave a few quiet instructions and watched as Xiao Huo ran happily toward her grandmother and maternal grandmother.

Xiao Huo, who had been sandwiched between Hei Yang and Hong Li, occupying their positions with one hand on her father and the other on her mother, finally freed up space with her departure.

"Well……"

Hongli tilted her head slightly, looked at Heiyang, and gave him a meaningful look.

"hey-hey."

Hei Yang chuckled and reached out to take Hong Li's small hand in his.

"Hey."

Hongli finally smiled with satisfaction, shook Heiyang's arm and continued forward, looking even happier than a child.

....................................

“Hey, I’m saying…”

After walking down a street, Hei Yang finally couldn't help but speak.

He looked helplessly at Hongli, who was leaning on his shoulder: "That's too much! You better tone it down a bit!"

"Ah?"

Hongli turned her head and looked up at Heiyang with a bright smile, asking innocently, "What's wrong, Yangyang? Is there a problem?"

"..."

An ellipsis appeared above Hei Yang's head. He revealed his dead fish eyes, shook the arm that Hong Li was holding, and couldn't help but say, "Your whole body is practically hanging on my arm, okay? You better walk properly by yourself. What's the point of being lazy about this kind of thing!"

To passersby, Hei Yang and Hong Li looked just like any other young couple strolling arm in arm – perfectly normal.

In reality, Hong Li put almost all of her weight on this side. She didn't exert much effort at all as she walked down the street, relying entirely on Hei Yang to "drag" her along the way.

"Hey, hey, I'm telling you, you have legs and feet, don't be a parasite to this extent!"

The character "井" (well) appeared on Hei Yang's head.

"Oh, you noticed? I thought..."

Hong Li's eyes narrowed, and she gave an awkward laugh.

"Well, doesn't this make us seem closer? Right, honey?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Hei Yang looked at his lazybones with disdain and chuckled, "We're quite close, aren't we? I'm afraid of tiring my little Li, so I can't wait to carry her around, okay?"

"Oh dear, maybe we shouldn't take this one."

Hongli wore an expression that said, "How embarrassing!"

She turned her head and looked around, then chuckled awkwardly, "Look, we're on the street right now. It's so embarrassing to make you carry me, isn't it?"

Haha, no need, no need at all. I appreciate my husband's thoughtfulness, but let's leave it at that. I think it's fine!

"Yeah, right."

Hei Yang smiled slightly: "Isn't it great!"

"a!"

Hongli echoed in agreement.

"You big idiot!"

Hei Yang tapped Hong Li's head with his index finger, glaring at her with dead fish eyes and scolding her, "You're supposed to be shy? We thought you'd mastered the art of thick skin!"

"Oh dear, that was in front of you, Hei Yang!"

Hongli chuckled awkwardly, "I was only a little bit more unrestrained when it was just the two of us. When there are other people around, well..."

"Um what?"

Hei Yang spoke in a low, melancholic tone.

"Hmm, this..."

Hongli paused, turned her head to look around, took a deep breath, composed herself, and instantly put on a shy expression.

"Outside of home, she's a shy, timid girl, a proper young lady, right? Hehehe..."

“What well-bred young lady laughs like that?”

Hei Yang couldn't help but retort, "Why aren't you chuckling?"

"Uh, well..."

Hong Li paused for a moment, then lowered her head and pondered seriously for a second before nodding affirmatively to Hei Yang: "If Hei Yang wants to hear it, I, a lady from a respectable family, can also become a demon on the spot!"

"You big idiot!"

Hei Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes. Just then, he stopped at a corner, patted Hong Li on the shoulder, and said, "So I told you, walk properly, understand?"

"Tsk tsk tsk".

When Hongli saw that Heiyang was unmoved by her words, her smiling crescent-shaped eyes instantly turned into Heiyang's dead fish eyes.

"What? Your wife isn't heavy at all, she's as light as a little bird, she won't tire you out..."

Hong Li rolled her eyes, adjusted her center of gravity, and shifted her weight off Hei Yang's shoulder, but her hand was still linked with his arm.

"Heh, this has nothing to do with whether it's heavy or not."

Hei Yang rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "We're all out having fun, and we all walk the same way!"

As a result, you get special treatment and don't even have to exert any effort to walk. We're really upset about that!

The saying goes, "It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality." Don't you understand?
