Ultimate: Brother-in-law Linglong, I just want to slack off.

Su Luo took the water and drank a few mouthfuls before slowly recovering.

"Fulong, please continue," Su's mother said with a smile, looking at Hua Fulong again.

Hua Fulong nodded and continued, "What we mean is that we should get engaged and live together first, and then get married after we get to know each other better. This way, our married life will be more harmonious."

What do you guys think?

Neither father spoke, since mothers are usually more anxious about these kinds of things.

The two mothers paused slightly upon hearing this. Their biggest concern was Su Luo and Hua Fulong's marriage, so how could they be expected not to rush things?

"Su Luo, is that what you mean too?"

At this moment, Aunt Zhang asked Su Luo.

Hearing Aunt Zhang's question, Su Luo turned her head and gave Hua Fulong a look: [When did we agree to get engaged and live together first?]

Hua Fulong retorted: "So you want to get married and live together right away?"

【In no mood!】

Then go along with what I say!

Although Hua Fulong did not possess any special abilities, the two exchanged glances that resembled telepathic communication.

"Yes, that's what I meant too."

Although she didn't know what tricks Hua Fulong was playing, Su Luo nodded and continued as she was told.

The two mothers discussed it briefly and then agreed to Hua Fulong's idea.

For families like theirs, getting engaged before getting married is a very common practice.

Large families care about saving face.

Once engaged, it's unlikely to be called off unless there's a fundamental issue.

"Let's plan the engagement party this month, and pick a date," Su's mother said happily to Aunt Zhang.

"Okay, okay!" Aunt Zhang smiled happily and said "okay" repeatedly.

Soon, the room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation again.

Only Hua Linglong's expression was even worse than it had been outside the door, as if he had eaten two lumps of something.

......

After the dinner, the engagement ceremony was scheduled for this month.

With the matter settled and night deepening, Su Luo and her family did not linger, departing amidst Su's mother and Aunt Zhang's reluctant farewells.

Su's mother got into the driver's car and went straight back to the Su family home, while Su Luo got into Su's father's car.

Back downstairs at their rented apartment, Su Luo got out of the car, and her father stepped on the gas, quickly drifting away in a stylish manner.

His dad has no other hobbies but racing cars.

Otherwise, how could a CEO of a top 100 company not even have a driver?

Shaking her head, Su Luo went upstairs.

Half an hour later.

After taking a quick shower, Su Luo returned to bed.

He stopped thinking about Hua Fulong's suggestion of engagement and cohabitation, cleared his mind, and prepared to cultivate his combat power index.

Since we can't resist, we might as well close our eyes and enjoy it.

Engagement is engagement, cohabitation is cohabitation, he's a grown man, he's not going to suffer a loss.

He's just a fiancée; as long as they're not married, he's still single and can still have a sweet romance.

Yes, that's right.

Su Luo, in a self-comforting manner typical of a scumbag, slowly entered a meditative state.

042 Hiking, an accident

Flower House.

After washing up, Hua Fulong went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water.

Hua Linglong walked over at this moment, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then asked in a low voice, "Fifth Sister, are you really going to get engaged and live together with Su Luo?"

"Hmm," Hua Fulong took a sip of water and nodded. "What's wrong?"

"No, Su Luo, that person..."

Hua Linglong was in a hurry and wanted to say something, but he couldn't get the words out.

With a sigh, Hua Linglong asked, "Fifth Sister, why did you choose Su Luo?"

Born into an imperial family, one has no say in anything.

It's normal for family members not to have the freedom to choose their own marriage partners, but even if they can't, there are still many better candidates than Su Luo for her fifth sister.

From an ordinary person's perspective, besides being good-looking, what else does Su Luo have that makes her fifth sister so optimistic about her?

Su Luo is KO1, with a combat power index of 12000 points. Once her identity is exposed, she will be very popular in the entire high school world and even the world of superpowers.

But his fifth sister is just a Muggle, so her perspective on Su Luo is definitely different from that of a superpowered person.

Therefore, he was very puzzled.

Hua Fulong looked at Hua Linglong and asked instead of answering, "You don't know?"

Hua Linglong shook his head: "I don't know."

"That's why I said, you're still far from being a good judge of people's abilities." Hua Fulong shook his head and put down his water glass. "Go to sleep early."

Patting Hua Linglong on the shoulder, Hua Fulong smiled and turned to go upstairs.

"So, what exactly is the reason?"

Looking at Fifth Sister's retreating figure, Hua Linglong sighed softly.

...

The next day, the weather was fine and sunny.

Hiking (Daily Quest)

The sun was shining brightly, but a gentle breeze was blowing – a perfect day for hiking and enjoying the view. You decided to go for a walk.

[Reward: Combat Power Index +5, Special Ability Physique +1]

Su Luo casually closed the task panel and stood at the station waiting for the train to arrive.

As if by telepathy, after the system displayed the daily hiking task, Qiu Qiu also sent him a message inviting him to go hiking.

Su Luo readily agreed.

In the afternoon.

at the foot of the mountain.

"Su Luo".

As soon as Su Luo got out of the car, she saw Qiu Qiu waiting for her.

Qiu Qiu was holding a large pile of things and waving at him.

"Why didn't you bring anything?" Qiu Qiu couldn't help but ask, looking at Su Luo who had nothing in her hands.

"Um, what should I bring? Just buy a bottle of water." Su Luo was taken aback, then pointed to the convenience store next door.

Then he noticed Qiu Qiu's large and small bags: "You brought so much stuff, are you planning to stay on the mountain tonight?"

"Is it much?"

Qiu Qiu looked at her belongings. "It's alright. Here's food, here's drinks, and some toys..."

Qiu Qiu counted the items she had brought, and Su Luo suddenly remembered an article she had read in her previous life.

It mentions that...

Boys climb mountains just to climb them, get to the top to see the scenery, shout a few words, and then come down.

For girls, hiking is simply a way to find a different place to eat and drink.

That seems to make some sense.

"So it's okay if you didn't bring any, I brought a lot." After counting, Qiu Qiu smiled at Su Luo.

"Let's go then. Give me your things, I'll help you carry them." Su Luo smiled and took Qiu Qiu's bags.

Although Qiu Qiu is also a superpowered individual, the weight of this item is nothing to him, but he still needs to maintain basic gentlemanly manners.

The two walked up the mountain together.

This doesn't seem to be a popular tourist spot; there weren't many people along the way.

The mountain wasn't too difficult to climb; it wasn't very high, and the hiking route wasn't very steep. The two of them quickly climbed to the halfway point.

"Ah, snake!"

Qiu Qiu, who was walking in front, suddenly let out a scream.

He suddenly stepped back and then fell to the ground.

"careful!"

Su Luo flashed forward, unleashing her special ability to charge ahead instantly.

With a casual wave of her hand, she unleashed a burst of supernatural power, sending the snake flying. Su Luo then quickly turned around to help Qiu Qiu, who had fallen to the ground.

"Are you okay?"

Su Luo helped Qiu Qiu up and asked with concern.

"My feet hurt."

Clutching her ankle, Qiu Qiu cried out in pain.

Su Luo turned to look at Qiu Qiu's ankle and asked with concern, "Did you twist it?"

Qiu Qiu nodded painfully: "It seems like I twisted it, it hurts a bit."

Through the black socks, Su Luo couldn't see the specifics of the injuries. After considering it for a moment, he looked at Qiu Qiu and said, "Why don't we go down the mountain first? It's probably hard for you to keep going like this."

"But I prepared for this mountain climb for a long time, and I didn't even make it to the top..." Qiu Qiu looked at the large and small bags in Su Luo's hands, and then at the top of the mountain, feeling a little unwilling.

In order to go hiking with Su Luo, she spent the weekend researching a lot of information and finally chose this place.

She had even prepared various things and items, and she was a little unwilling to go back like this.

"Did you bring a first-aid kit?" Seeing Qiu Qiu's unwilling look, Su Luo had no choice but to see if she could treat him on the spot.

“There’s a bag over there.” Qiu Qiu’s eyes lit up as she pointed to a bag.

Su Luo picked up the bag, opened it, and found that it was indeed a miniature medicine box.

The supplies were limited: bandages, plasters, and medicated oil—all medical supplies for common injuries that occur while hiking.

"Let me apply some medicine and bandages for you first. If it's not too serious, we can continue talking about going to the top of the mountain." Su Luo helped Qiu Qiu onto a rock.

"Okay." Qiu Qiu nodded obediently.

Qiu Qiu looked at Su Luo taking off her shoes and socks, feeling a little embarrassed, and a blush rose on her face.

After taking off her shoes and socks, Su Luo carefully examined the wound. It was somewhat red, but it hadn't started to swell yet, so it was difficult to tell the specific extent of the injury.

He had no choice but to reach out and gently touch it, using his supernatural abilities to investigate.

"No bones are broken. Applying some medicated oil and bandaging it should be fine," Su Luo said with a smile as she looked up at Qiu Qiu after examining him.

"Then can we continue to the top of the mountain?" Qiu Qiu laughed happily after hearing this.

Su Luo shook her head helplessly and said, "You're injured, and you're still thinking about going to the top of the mountain."

"So... it's possible?" Qiu Qiu asked tentatively.

"it is good!"

Su Luo responded and then began to treat Qiu Qiu's injuries.

Applying medicine, smearing ointment, bandaging, and even using supernatural abilities to breathe a little fresh air...
