"If he doesn't wake up after 12 hours, send him to the Third Hospital."

Before the people from the Tactical Bureau left Heavenly Lotus Academy, the medical team checked Ren Suo again, confirming that there was nothing wrong with him. He was almost drooling, but he still wouldn't wake up, not even when they tickled his ears, armpits, or pinched his nose.

"Maybe he hasn't slept in a long time, and now because of the side effects of Casting Spells, he has fallen into a deep Sleep. He doesn't need to be hospitalized right now; he can rest at the campus hospital or at home. Based on similar cases, this Status won't last too long. I estimate he might wake up after a while," the doctor said.

Yu Kuangtu glanced at Ren Suo, who had a peaceful smile on his face, and suggested, "How about we try slapping him."

"Yeah, yeah," Zhao Huo agreed.

However, they both immediately received a barrage of merciless glares. Yu Kuangtu shrugged and asked Qiao Muyi, "I'm leading the team back now. What about you?"

Qiao Muyi looked at Dong Chengling and replied, "I'll stay for dinner before going."

Which meant she wasn't going back. Yu Kuangtu was on duty tonight, and Qiao Muyi was supposed to have her break in the evening. After dinner at the academy, which would be past the end of her shift, she would undoubtedly let Yao Fei handle all the minor matters in the office for her.

How unfair! Why is her assistant so obedient, while Li Dan is constantly subjecting me to inhuman torture?

Yu Kuangtu had no choice but to bid farewell to Qin Lian from afar and left with Li Dan.

Zhao Huo thought to himself, Right, Yu Kuangtu can just spout nonsense and leave since he's from the Tactical Bureau, but I have to stay here at the academy and meet with them evening after evening. If I keep making frivolous comments, I'll eventually become annoying to others.

So he cleared his throat, changing the subject. "Then let me carry Ren Suo back home. This kind of physical task should be left to me."

When it came to physique, out of everyone present, only Bai Ji could compete with Zhao Huo. But Zhao Huo was clearly a bit more solid and looked like he could handle the task better, so it was appropriate for him to make the offer.

"No need, I'll do it," Bai Ji immediately said. But as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, Dong Chengling picked up Ren Suo and said indifferently, "I can just Teleport to his house. Also, Bai Ji, aren't you working tonight?"

"Wait."

The person who stopped Dong Chengling wasn't Qiao Muyi—it was Gu Yueyan.

She tugged on Dong Chengling's Clothing hem, looked her in the eye, and said naturally, "Sister Ling, are we still having the dinner gathering? I'll go to your place now to help you with the food."

Tonight was naturally the routine Daily dinner gathering, and although Ren Suo was currently in a deep Sleep, he seemed to be alright, and perhaps he would even be hungry when he woke up. Thus, Dong Chengling was planning to prepare the dinner early and wait for him.

However, she had initially intended to take Ren Suo to her own house and practice Cultivation as she waited for him to wake up, hoping that she would be the first person he saw upon awakening. She didn't even know why she harbored such a wish, but she just had that expectation deep down. As for the dinner gathering, she was of course going to cancel.

Yet now that Gu Yueyan had brought it up, it didn't seem polite to cancel just like that. And even if she wanted to cancel...

Dong Chengling glanced at Qiao Muyi, who had also stayed, and with a deep thought, activated her Basic Bitch Skill, nodding as she said, "You can go directly to Suo's house. I will bring the food over, and then we can just have dinner there. If it's done and he still hasn't woken up, we can keep the food warm in his rice cooker."

After saying this, she arched an eyebrow and gave a sidelong glance at Qiao Muyi.

Qiao Muyi's lips twitched with a sneer.

This grandiose declaration, as if she owned the place—would I be envious? Although I am just a tiny bit envious...

"I haven't tasted Cheng Ling's cooking in a long time; I'm quite excited~" Qiao Muyi chuckled. "Then I'll take you up on your offer tonight."

"Then I'll go directly to Big Brother Ren's house with the class president... Little Star, what about you?"

"I'll head back to the dorm first..."

Sighing, Bai Ji said, "I still have to do some research for a project tonight, so I won't be able to join."

With that, Dong Chengling Teleported away, and the others also left one by one. Those who were going for the free meal did just that, and those who weren't headed to the cafeteria to eat. But Zhao Huo had a third option: he had to pick someone up at the airport tonight.

Xiao Meng was arriving tonight. Zhao Huo had thought there was plenty of time to pick her up, but the sparring session had taken much longer than expected, and he had no idea whether Xiao Meng had already arrived.

He took out his phone to check and saw that just a few minutes earlier, Xiao Meng had sent him a message saying that her flight was delayed, and she had just taken off.

That meant there was no rush. So, Zhao Huo went home first and changed into a clean set of Clothing. As a close-range Cultivator, he had ended up fighting a testing Cultivator skilled in Earth Magic. He couldn't help but strike head-on, which left him in quite a disheveled state, with several tears in his Clothing.

Although he didn't mind going out like that, Xiao Meng, seeing him in such a state, would surely drag him shopping for Clothing—80% of the Clothing in his wardrobe had been bought the last few times Xiao Meng had come over, insisting on it. He expected that he would end up buying new Clothing in the coming days, too.

After changing and heading downstairs, as he passed building number two, Zhao Huo noticed the Black Cat that Ren Suo often fed, lounging lazily on the steps.

Since he occasionally saw Ren Suo foolishly chatting with the Black Cat, pretending like they could communicate, Zhao Huo would also say a word or two to the Black Cat when passing by.

But that was the extent of it. He didn't get the impulse to keep a cat just because it was cute. After all, Zhao Huo felt he couldn't even take care of himself properly, so he shouldn't bring trouble upon a cat.

And in the three-dimensional world, cats can't transform into Cat Girls; that really took the wind out of my sails.

"Ren Suo got injured in the fight just now, and it's very likely he won't wake up, so don't wait for his spicy fish," Zhao Huo told the Black Cat. He saw the cat's tail flick once, but aside from that, there was no other reaction.

Indeed, the Black Cat clearly couldn't understand human speech. Ren Suo must be delusional.

Zhao Huo went to the parking lot to get his car, and on the way, someone called out to him, "Handsome guy."

He turned around and saw a middle-aged couple approaching him.

The uncle was dressed in a black down jacket, with thick hair and black-framed glasses. He looked refined and friendly, with a body that was neither thin nor fat, and you could tell that he must have been quite handsome in his youth. Plus, with his upkeep of physical fitness, he was a distinguished-looking uncle even now in his middle age.

The auntie was dressed in a brown down jacket, wearing a brown knitted woolen hat from which the ends of her black hair peeked out, slightly curled. A black and white scarf was wrapped around her neck, looking quite fashionable. Although she wasn't young, there were no wrinkles on her face; her cheeks were plump, and her eyes were wide open with curiosity as she looked at Zhao Huo, revealing a friendly smile that made one unable to help but feel amiable.

"Handsome guy, are you a student here?" the auntie asked.

Zhao Huo shook his head. "I'm a teacher here. Is there something I can help you with? Are you parents of a student?"

"No, I am..." the auntie began, but then her expression slowly turned to one of puzzlement. "What relationship is it again..."

At this point, the uncle spoke up. "We are the parents of a certain staff member and we'd like to go to Dormitory Building No. 2. Could you please tell us the way?"

Dormitory Building No. 2? Parents of which teacher?

Zhao Huo pointed them in the right direction to the dormitory, which was just behind, and reminded them, "The dormitory building doesn't allow outsiders to enter. You'll need to use the intercom at the entrance for someone inside to open the door... Do you know your child's room number?"

"We know, we know." The auntie nodded repeatedly, then looking up at him, asked curiously, "Young man, you're so tall and strong. Does the academy require all its Supernatural Teachers to be as robust as you?"

Upon hearing this both familiar and unfamiliar phrase, Zhao Huo paused for a moment, suddenly feeling moved: After so long at the academy, finally someone praised my physique! More than my Spells or appearance, I prefer others to compliment the robust build I've honed through over a decade of Training day and night, or praise my passion for Anime Fans!

"Of course not, I'm the only one in the whole academy who's this tall and strong," Zhao Huo proudly said. "Supernatural Teachers only need to master Transcendent Knowledge. A teacher like me, who is well-rounded in morals, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor, is quite rare!"

"Then a good catch like you must be pursued by many young and beautiful female teachers, right?" the auntie asked.

"Uh... well..." Zhao Huo scratched his head. "I'm already engaged... and I'm not very popular with the other female teachers either."

"A young man dedicated to love, any girl who ends up with you is sure to be blessed!" the auntie first complimented him, then asked, "So, does the academy have many single female teachers?"

"Hmm?" Zhao Huo looked at the auntie with confusion. Why are you asking this?

"My child, you see, seems to be still single to this day, never brings a girlfriend home. Your aunt here just wants to understand his working environment, whether it's because he hasn't met nice girls, or if it's something to do with himself..." the auntie babbled on in explanation.

Zhao Huo understood. "There are quite a number of eligible women in the academy, including female teachers, and there are also many young nurses in the school's medical clinic. But, the women at the academy... tend to have high standards..."

Zhao Huo was not just making this up. After all, the women on campus got to see a Diamond Bachelor like Bai Ji every day, so of course, their standards might be a bit higher—at least in terms of looks.

"High standards, huh... Sigh, it seems I still have to worry about my child's lifelong happiness." The auntie nodded her head with concern and said, "Thank you, young man, I won't take up more of your time. I wish you all the best tonight."

Zhao Huo paused. "Why only tonight?"

The auntie said, as if it were obvious, "Because you've answered a few of my questions, so I should wish you well for one night.

"If fate allows us to meet again, and young man, you help me with an even bigger favor, then I will wish you happiness for an even longer time.

"If I wished lifelong happiness to anyone who helped me, that would be insincere, and even the deities wouldn't grant it.

"But for just one night, maybe the deities might bend the rules and really bless you for one night!"

The uncle sighed and blinked at Zhao Huo, a signal that his wife's train of thought was really quite unique.

Zhao Huo was amused by this calculation of divine intentions. "No problem."

As they parted, Zhao Huo thought to himself, This couple is interesting, and their child must be interesting too...

"Dad, Mom, what are you doing here!?"

Upon hearing the girl's voice behind him, Zhao Huo's first reaction was: Their child is a girl? So why did they ask about female teachers? Shouldn't they have been asking about male teachers?

Then Zhao Huo's second reaction was, Wait a minute, this girl's voice sounds familiar!

Zhao Huo turned his head and saw a girl open the dormitory's glass door with a pager, leading the couple into Dormitory Building No. 2.

Zhao Huo had good eyesight; even though it had already turned dark, he could still see from afar that the girl was... Ren Xingmei?

Wait a second, you have a daughter named Ren Xingmei? And your son is Ren Suo? Then why on earth would you need to worry about his marriage prospects! Your son has already been reserved by the strongest and most beautiful teacher in the academy. Unless something unexpected happens, even if your son reached the heavens or the underworld, he would definitely not escape the palm of his future wife! Wait a minute, isn't Dong Chengling currently cooking at Ren Suo's House? Oops, I'm kind of tempted; I don't feel like picking up the guests anymore. I want to go to Ren Suo's House to watch.

「...」

"Why didn't you give us a heads up before coming!" Ren Xingmei complained in the elevator.

"You think we wanted to come? It was all your brother urging us repeatedly, that's why your dad and I took the high-speed train from Baiyun, costing us hundreds in travel expenses," Ren's mother crossed her arms and huffed, then curiously asked, "Say, did your brother find a girlfriend?"

How did you know? Ren Xingmei almost blurted out, but she immediately swallowed the words back and asked, "Why would you think that? It's my brother we're talking about!"

"That's true," Ren's mother sighed. "I thought your brother was using the excuse of the Winter Solstice to introduce his girlfriend to us, which is why he urged us to come over... But now it seems, what luck could there be?"

DING DONG. The elevator arrived on the fourth floor.

Ren Xingmei's face changed colors, and after stepping out of the elevator, she asked, "So... what if brother really did find a girlfriend? Mom, what would you think?"

"What can I think? An ugly wife will eventually meet her in-laws too. As long as your brother's choice has a slightly good temper, I don't have any other requirements. Our family isn't passing down a throne; as long as your brother is happy, that's fine," her mother said offhandedly. Suddenly her eyes lit up, and leaning in to ask Ren Xingmei, "So, is it true? There's a girl who likes your brother? Really?"

Ren Xingmei, with the Key in her hand, had a complicated expression on her face.

If one were to leave aside Ren Suo's personal feelings and only count 'girls who liked Ren Suo'...

"Barely, I guess..."

"WOW!" Ren's mother didn't doubt Ren Xingmei's words at all; her face glowed with excitement. "So, is your brother really planning to introduce her to us tomorrow? Wait, or is his girlfriend already in the house right now?"

Ren Xingmei's expression froze, suddenly realizing she couldn't deny her mother's guess!

Seeing Ren Xingmei silently unlocking the door, Ren's mother took a deep breath, turned to her husband, and asked, "Hey, how do I look today? Attractive or not? Not too fierce, I hope? I wouldn't want to give off a bad mother-in-law image at first sight!"

"Not a bad mother-in-law, but possibly a silly one," Ren's father said calmly.

Ren's mother snorted. "Don't you say anything rash later. Follow my lead, stick close to me, and no matter what Little Suo's girlfriend is like, you're not allowed to give her any dirty looks!"

Follow your lead... Ren's father adjusted his glasses; he was quite nearsighted, so unless his wife was rolling her eyes or went cross-eyed, he definitely couldn't see.

CREAK. Ren Xingmei opened the security door, twisted open the wooden door inside, and warm white light along with lively voices spilled out from the house.

Ren Xingmei entered the room, took a quick look around, let out a breath, and said helplessly, "Bro, are you awake? Mom and Dad are here!"

"HUH?"

"HUH?"

"HUH?"

"TSK! My ultimate missed."

Ren's mother hurriedly straightened her appearance and walked into the house with a smile. Although Ren's father had been silent, at this moment, he leaned in to see what kind of girlfriend his son had found.

First thing that caught their eyes was a lively girl sitting cross-legged on the sofa, playing a video game with a controller in hand.

When she saw Ren's parents, she didn't put down her controller; instead, she smiled as big as an apple, cheerfully saying, "Hello uncle and auntie!"

"Okay, okay," Ren's father and Ren's mother nodded repeatedly.

It must be her!

Indeed.

Ren's father and Ren's mother almost instantly judged her to be their son's girlfriend; able to take off her shoes and go barefoot so casually in their son's home, and also a gaming enthusiast, who seemed very generous and not shy at all—a perfect match for their son's personality!

Not bad, not bad, our son's taste isn't bad at all!

At that moment, they heard the sound of a chair moving from the other side. They turned their heads and saw a girl with an enchanting figure and stunning looks, her black hair piled up, wearing a black vest, standing up from her chair.

When she saw Ren's father and Ren's mother, her cheeks reddened slightly, but then she narrowed her eyes charmingly and greeted them with a shallow smile, "Hello uncle, hello auntie."

"Okay, okay," Ren's father and Ren's mother nodded in surprise.

Could it be her?

Huh?

This amazing girl in front of them had Ren's father and Ren's mother puzzled—Could Little Suo really know such a beautiful girl?

But when they saw her Tactical Bureau vest, they immediately understood: She must be someone Little Suo met at the Tactical Bureau. Could she be Little Suo's girlfriend? It seems very likely. If not, why else would such a beautiful girl be in Little Suo's house? Impressive, impressive, our son really struck gold this time!

At that moment, a cute girl wearing an apron came out of the kitchen with two dishes in her hands.

She saw Ren's father and Ren's mother, her lips parted slightly, her cheeks turned a rosy hue, and after placing the dishes down carefully, she gave a polite bow and said, "Hello uncle and auntie."

"Okay, okay," Ren's father and Ren's mother were taken aback.

Maybe it's her? What? Why would this cute girl come out of Little Suo's kitchen wearing an apron? And she's so polite to us; she looks really well-behaved. Could she be Little Suo's girlfriend? It seems very likely. Considering our son's EQ is just so-so, he probably couldn't handle a girl who's too impressive and might prefer a gentle and well-behaved girl just like him. Brilliant, brilliant, our son is a real genius!

At that moment, they saw the bedroom door at the end of the hallway open, and an elegant and beautiful long-haired girl walked out from inside. She made a high-necked white long-sleeved sweater look shapely, paired with black slim-fit pants for a clear black and white contrast.

She smiled as she approached Ren's father and Ren's mother, speaking, "Suo hasn't woken up yet. Uncle and auntie, please come in and take a seat. We're almost done with cooking."

"Okay, okay," Ren's father and Ren's mother were totally confused.

Ren's mother thought, Wait, four girls? Little Suo, have some sympathy for your mom; I can't tell them apart!

Ren's father thought, Son, you...

They both wondered, Why would this girl who looks like the lady of the house come out of Ren Suo's bedroom? What exactly is your relationship? How far have you gone? Could she be Little Suo's girlfriend? But the problem is, there are three other girls in this room who have the same 'girlfriend' potential, three of them!

Ren's father and Ren's mother were plunged into deep confusion.
