Gao Wu: Honey, don't cry, I'm truly invincible!

Let the autumn waters smile...

This task is... ridiculously easy.

"What do you want for dinner? I'll cook today."

Holding Ning Qiushui in her arms, Qin Su asked softly.

The system displayed his future reality at age thirty-eight, and she was suffering so much back then that even a smile was a luxury.

This made him feel very uncomfortable.

Ning Qiushui glanced at him, then quickly looked away, keeping a straight face and remaining silent.

[This damn man, how come he's suddenly so charming? I can't look at him anymore, sob sob, if I keep looking, I'll want to become his dog.]

Speaking of which, I really want to eat Asu's braised beef with potatoes. I haven't had it in ages; the last time was eight years ago...

"How about braised beef with potatoes?" Qin Su suddenly asked.

Ning Qiushui suddenly turned to look at him, a flash of surprise in her beautiful eyes, but her expression remained calm and composed. "Yes, that's fine."

Qin Su smiled and said, "No cilantro, right?"

Ning Qiushui was surprised, and the corners of her mouth finally couldn't help but curl up slightly: "How come you understand me so well today?"

Qin Su blinked: "Guess?"

Ning Qiushui rubbed her temples, wearing a cold expression that made Qin Su seem too childish.

【I don't want to guess!】

Qin Su listened to her thoughts, chuckled, pressed her delicate body onto the sofa, and began to tickle her.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Ning Qiushui exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Su had never joked around with her like this before, and for a moment she was a little dazed, struggling to sit up.

But Qin Su wouldn't give her a chance. He started touching her all over, making her squirm and writh with ticklishness. After holding back for a while, she finally gave in.

"Hahaha, it itches so much, stop scratching, hahaha!"

"Stop it, hahaha, Asu, please stop, okay? Hahaha, I was wrong, alright...?"

After a playful fight, Ning Qiushui laughed so hard she could hardly breathe. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were in disarray, which gave her a unique kind of beauty.

Qin Su held her in his arms, inhaling deeply the delicate fragrance emanating from her hair.

Ning Qiushui stroked his hair, and the ice that had remained unchanged for decades finally melted at this moment, revealing a faint smile on her beautiful face.

Neither of them spoke, feeling each other's heartbeats and enjoying this beautiful tenderness.

"By the way, Asu, your school teacher called me yesterday to ask when you're going to school."

Ning Qiushui subconsciously rubbed her head against Qin Su's chest, comfortably squinting her beautiful eyes.

Qin Su was taken aback, then realized that she hadn't been to school for a long time since she was injured.

"You should go to school. Although you haven't been to school because you're recovering from your injury at home, you need to interact with your peers, see their positive side, and be inspired by their passion. That's how you can cheer up as soon as possible."

Ning Qiushui's voice carried a cat-like laziness, but her eyes had already sharpened.

When it comes to cultivation, she is always full of energy, and she has no fear of suffering no matter how much hardship she endures.

Qin Su scratched her head: "Yeah, I'll go."

He kissed Ning Qiushui again, then got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

[Yes, I can't continue indulging in this gentle embrace. If Asu's injuries don't heal, I have to support this family. Cultivation, keep cultivating!]

Ning Qiushui straightened her disheveled clothes and got up to leave the living room.

Qin Su went to the kitchen to start preparing the ingredients.

Not long after—

During my two-week trip, I actually gained over a thousand kilograms of strength, and now I have fifteen thousand three hundred kilograms.

Hehe, I really am a chosen one.

Ning Qiushui's heartfelt words echoed from afar.

Qin Su paused slightly as she cut the beef, her expression somewhat strange.

Although Qiu Shui's mission ended prematurely, it was definitely not that simple. And the fact that she was able to improve so much must have been due to pushing herself into a life-or-death situation.

Despite her hard work, she was still not as good as him in terms of skill.

Qin Su's current strength is 16,198 kilograms, while Ning Qiushui's is only 15,300 kilograms, which is a difference of nearly 1,000 kilograms.

【Ding! 】

[Task: Make Ning Qiushui laugh. (Completed)]

[Mission Reward: Source Energy Infusion, being distributed.]

[Note: The total amount of Source Energy Infusion can increase strength by 3,000 kilograms, but how much can be refined depends on the host's own ability.]

At that moment, the system's voice rang out again.

Buzz........

A massive amount of cosmic energy surged into Qin Su's body.

In that instant, Qin Su's body unleashed an unprecedented transformation ability.

With the blessing of the Hunyuan Dao Body, the cosmic energy that came from all directions was transformed into his own source energy the moment it entered his body. It flowed along the meridians in his body to his limbs and bones, enhancing his strength in all aspects.

Because so much cosmic energy was being drawn in, a continuous energy tide even formed above the apartment.

Inside the apartment, all the martial artists stared wide-eyed in shock at that moment.

Inside the room, Ning Qiushui frowned and looked out the window, muttering, "This is... a Martial Master level expert breaking through?"

"This apartment building is mostly occupied by students from the school or their families. Besides me, who else has this kind of influence?"

"Even when I break through, it's difficult to cause such a commotion..."

She wanted to investigate further, but the surrounding cosmic energy was completely disrupted, like a violent storm. Everything was in chaos, making it impossible for her to sense the source of the cosmic energy disturbance.

In the path of martial arts, there are always stronger opponents. I thought my strength was enough to be proud of among my peers, but now it seems I'm still far from it.

[The current training rate of gaining three kilograms of strength per day is still too slow. Starting tomorrow, we'll add more training!]

A fierce fighting spirit surged in Ning Qiushui's eyes; she had never been inferior to anyone in her life!

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Qin Su had no time to listen to Ning Qiushui's thoughts, because his power was steadily and rapidly increasing.

One thousand kilograms...

Two thousand kilograms.........

Three thousand kilograms...

As the surrounding cosmic energy dissipated, Qin Su's strength increased by three thousand kilograms.

Feeling the surge of power within him, Qin Su suddenly thought of something—

So, his current strength has reached 19,000 kilograms. If he trains hard and increases it by another 1,000 kilograms, or no, if he eats, drinks and plays for two more days, he will be able to break through the 20,000 kilograms mark.

He just said that Ning Qiushui was a thousand kilograms weaker than him, well, now he's more than four thousand kilograms stronger.

This gap is probably something she would need to study diligently for several years to catch up with.

However, on the other hand, as Qiu Shui's strength improves, my own strength cannot stagnate either.

Years later, Qin Su herself dared not imagine what level her strength would reach...
