As a result, it is possible to achieve success.

Chapter 84 Perhaps it’s the same feeling as hearing about the early start of school…

"Damn, so many people actually bought this thing?!"

Hongli was slumped in a seat by the window of a restaurant, looking at two bags of bitter melon-flavored biscuits on the table. She rubbed her brows, made sure she had not bought the wrong ones, and stuffed them into her storage bag.

She originally thought that such strange snacks should be found in remote small shops, or in the corners of large stores with a wide variety of products.

After searching for a while I couldn't find it, so I came back to the best-selling products shelf and suddenly discovered the bitter melon-flavored biscuits neatly arranged there.

“Am I behind the times?”

Hongli sighed: "It turns out that I am already old..."

"Mom, stop complaining."

Xiaohuo jumped around on the menu: "Order, order!"

"Ah, just watch it."

Hongli waved her hand: "No wine, no animal offal, no greasy food, the rest is up to you..."

"Oh, all right."

Xiaohuo lowered his head and continued to look through the menu, thinking hard.

"I was busy all morning, and ended up buying everything for my aunt and Xingyun."

Hongli sighed: "I didn't buy anything myself!"

"Then go buy it this afternoon."

Xiao Huo responded casually: "This is the first time I see so many people."

"Wow, isn't one morning enough? We need the afternoon too!"

Hongli's eyes widened: "Just kill me, your mother. It would be great if you could tire me to death!"

"What should I do?"

Xiao Huo still didn't look up, but concentrated on studying the menu: "Mom, aren't you going to buy those things?"

"Ah... whatever..."

Hongli said lazily, “That kind of thing isn’t very important anyway.

Just like those tablewares and other things, if I buy them, they will probably just gather dust at home. After all, I am too lazy to cook for myself.

There are also things like Snow Mountain Pigeons and this and that. They sound very troublesome. Why did I write about that stuff at that time?..."

In addition to eating, she initially wanted to go to the bookstore to see if there were any new novels she hadn't read, but when she thought of the comics waiting for her, she instantly lost interest.

At least wait until she finishes reading those comics before looking for a new novel to read.

Although the illusion trial was extremely difficult, Hongli felt that she could break it with a few more attempts!

The key is that the illusion is so fake that you can only see it but not touch it...

Well, anyway, the comics are already in her pocket, and it's a good thing to get them back after losing them!

To put it bluntly, she really didn't want to move. Her morning energy was all a lie. After taking two steps, she instantly returned to reality.

Why not just stay in this restaurant until the evening, just like before, with Hei...

Hongli suddenly realized what was happening. Looking at the empty seat in front of her, she felt a little empty inside...

【Hongli: Black Sun?】

[Hei Yang: Uh-huh, what's wrong? ]

Damn, what's wrong? Is it okay to say "I miss you so much"? !

Hongli curled her lips, feeling a little depressed.

【Hongli: What are you doing? 】

[Heiyang: Let’s eat. What else can I do at dinner time? ]

[Heiyang: [Picture] Want a bite? ]

[Hongli: Come on, ghost, I'm going to chew your head raw in the rice! ]

Looking at the picture, there was a group of smiling Hei family members gathered around Heiyang's dining table, and there were a few children chasing and playing behind them. Even though she couldn't hear any sound, Hongli could feel the excitement over there.

On the other hand, although it was equally noisy, she felt isolated from the world, and that feeling of having no one to turn to was a bit suffocating.

She wasn't the type who liked to be in a lively atmosphere, but now she felt deeply lonely, and subconsciously, she wanted to cry...

I don't know why, but I'm just not happy...

[Hongli: Can you open the video on your end? ]

[Heiyang: Wait for me five seconds, I'll finish these two mouthfuls of rice! ]

[Your contract partner (Hei Yang) sent a video invitation, do you want to accept it...]

"accept!"

"Can you see it? Can you see it?"

Heiyang had already run out of the house without knowing when, and jumped onto the roof of an attic, sitting on the edge of the eaves, with the blue sky behind him: "Hongli? Hongli? Got it, please reply!"

“Ahh, I see.”

Hong Li lay on the table, staring at Hei Yang's face. She subconsciously wanted to smile, but she felt something was wrong, so she pulled the corners of her mouth down again: "You are still in the capital, don't you plan to go back?"

"Soon, about a week at the latest."

Heiyang looked into the distance and shook his head: "I will leave in a week at the latest. This city is pretty good, but there are some things that I can't get used to."

"Tsk, so hypocritical."

Hongli rolled her eyes: "What on earth is that calculation you mentioned before?"

"Ah, it's just a small matter, nothing much to say."

Heiyang waved his hand casually: "Don't worry about it."

"real or fake?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"Aren't you lying now?"

"This time it's true!"

"Oh, then I believe it... Oh, wait, my food is here."

Hongli looked over there and saw that Xiaohuo had not only ordered the dishes, but the owner had also personally brought them to her with great respect. She stretched her neck and moved her head away from the table.

Unlike the Five Elements Sect where one needs spirit stones to pay for meals, in the taverns run by ordinary people outside, one still has to pay with worldly money.

She is a pauper in the sect, but outside she is still the young lady of the Hong family. At least she doesn’t have to worry about things like eating.

He moved his chopsticks but didn't pick up much food. He watched Xiaohuo beside him trying to hold the chopsticks with his claws and wings, but eventually gave up and just put the food directly into his mouth.

If anyone else did this, they would definitely be laughed at, but Xiaohuo's appearance attracted the attention of people around him from time to time, and everyone had a smile in their eyes, probably because they were touched by his cuteness.

In fact, living in the Five Elements City, the residents here have seen Five Elements Sect disciples and various spiritual beasts many times, but this is the first time they have seen a little crane like Xiaohuo who was born not long ago.

Hong Li knew what those people were thinking just by thinking about it. She also thought that this little fire that could be grabbed in one hand was very cute, but children would grow up eventually, and she was afraid that after some time, the little fire would grow bigger than her.

Thinking that she would not be able to rub the little fire like this by then, Hongli suddenly felt a sense of loss again.

She doesn't know what's wrong with her lately. She's always worried about everything and feels like she's not herself.

"Hello, Xiaoli?"

Heiyang's somewhat puzzled voice came: "Why do you look a little unhappy? What's wrong? Did you lose the fight?"

"Oh, I'm so happy."

Hong Li said stubbornly: "Look at me, look how happy I am smiling, hahaha, I am very happy, right?"

Hei Yang: "..."

"Okay, okay, it's a bit depressing."

Hongli muttered softly, "I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's because I'm not used to the local climate."

"I suppose it's possible."

Heiyang frowned and thought: "Look, you can't even muster the energy to scold me, the situation is a bit serious!"

"Are you freaking sick? Do you like being scolded?!"

Hong Li couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "If I wasn't outside right now, I would have scolded you until you cried and called you mom!"

"Yes, yes, you are right."

"Don't be so mean to me!"

"OK then."

Heiyang's mind moved, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "By the way, let me tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

Hongli tilted her head curiously: "Let me guess, you want to ask me what gift I will give you for your birthday this year?

Come on, my dear brother, your birthday is almost a month away, why are you asking now?"

"Ah, this... what you said..."

Heiyang was stunned for a moment: "It is indeed a problem, so what are you going to give me?"

"Can I give you two slaps?"

Hong Li said unhappily, “So since you’re not asking about birthdays, what do you want to say?

Don't ask me what kind of gift I like, I won't tell you that my birthday wish is to read your... diary!"

"What a deliberate statement."

Heiyang snorted softly: "It's nothing serious, actually. I'm going to visit you in a few days, so remember to pack up and greet me!"

"boom!"

"Chirp!"

Xiaoli Huohe was eating happily when she heard a loud noise nearby. She turned her head subconsciously and found that her mother had fallen headfirst to the ground somehow.

"Fuck, fuck, what the hell are you talking about!"

Hongli's pupils were like a typhoon and a tsunami: "How can you come here now...

No, I mean, how do you launch a surprise attack...

No, I mean...I mean..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 85: Calm down? Calm down!

"No, I mean, I mean..."

Hongli patted the dirt off her butt, glanced at the crowd looking over here, pretended nothing had happened and sat back in her seat, ignoring the small fire with food still stuck to her beak, and spoke in a hurried voice.

"What made you suddenly want to come over? I mean, how could you come over now?"

"what?"

Heiyang tilted his head, an unhappy expression on his face: "No, you don't welcome me, right?"

"No, that's not what I meant!"

Hong Li quickly retorted: "I mean, I mean why did you come just now? No, you can't come. No, it's not that you just need to come. No, can you come and not come at the same time? No, no...Ah!!!"

"beep!"

[Your contract partner (Hongli) hung up the video call]

[Hei Yang:? ? ? 】

[Hongli: Um... the signal is bad, I'll contact you later! ]

[Hongli: That’s it, I’m hanging up first! ]
