Global Deities: My SSS-Rank Talent Lets Me Evolve Everything

Chapter 188: Good Son-in-law

Sitting in the courtyard were a man and a woman.

The man wore a black and gold robe, with an elegant visage and deep eyes; just sitting there, he exuded an awe-inspiring presence without anger.

The woman wore a light cyan long dress, her temperament gentle and noble, and every gesture exuded the poise of someone who had occupied a high position for a long time.

“Father, Mother.” Gu Le spoke.

The man slowly raised his head. “You’re here?”

Gu Le nodded gently and introduced, “Yang Fan, this is my father, Gu Xuanting, and my mother, Lu Qinglan.”

Yang Fan’s heart trembled slightly; even though the other party did not deliberately release divine coercion, he could still feel a terrifying pressure originating from the level of life itself.

It felt as though he was not facing ordinary gods, but rather two great suns hanging high in the sky.

Yang Fan secretly guessed in his heart that these two people were at least Mid-tier Gods above the fifth tier, if not even stronger.

Aside from Senior Gu Yuan whom he had met back in the Primordial Battlefield, this was probably the strongest person he had ever encountered.

Yang Fan did not dare to neglect them and immediately bowed respectfully, “Greetings, two Seniors.”

Hearing this, Gu Xuanting and Lu Qinglan exchanged a glance and smiled at the same time.

“Since you and Le’er are already married, there’s no need to be so formal.” Gu Xuanting’s voice was gentle.

Yang Fan reacted extremely quickly and immediately changed his address, “Greetings, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law.”

“Good.” The smile on Gu Xuanting’s face grew noticeably richer.

Meanwhile, Lu Qinglan on the side looked Yang Fan up and down, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

In the time that followed, Yang Fan and Gu Le’s parents simply chatted casually.

They did not discuss any secrets, nor did they mention resource cooperation.

More often, it felt like ordinary elders meeting a Junior, asking about Yang Fan’s past life in Yang County and whether he had adapted after coming to Taichu City.

Lu Qinglan would occasionally mention some of Gu Le’s embarrassing childhood stories, making the entire atmosphere much more relaxed than Yang Fan had imagined, allowing his originally tense mind to gradually relax.

After a moment, Lu Qinglan put down her teacup and smiled softly, “Alright, your father-in-law and I still have matters to handle. You two youngsters should go to the Real World and chat more to deepen your relationship.”

“As a family in the future, there will be plenty of time to spend together.” Gu Xuanting also nodded.

“You don’t need to be so restrained when we meet in the future. Your mother-in-law and I were already gods when we married, so we only have Le’er as our daughter. Now that you are married to Le’er, you are also our son from now on.”

When he said this, his expression was serious and not just out of politeness.

Hearing this, Yang Fan’s heart trembled slightly once again.

“Yes.” He immediately responded respectfully, feeling somewhat flattered.

…

As their consciousness withdrew, the two of them returned to the Real World.

Inside the virtual space, Gu Xuanting looked in the direction where the two had left, his eyes still carrying a hint of satisfaction.

“Xuanting, what do you think of this child?” Lu Qinglan asked softly.

“His Mental Energy is extremely strong, and his eyes possess divine light. His divine kingdom’s foundation is extremely solid,” Gu Xuanting slowly began. “Without the blessing of the Hundredfold Time Sequence talent, the development speed of his divine kingdom could never reach this level.”

Hearing this, Lu Qinglan likewise nodded. “During yesterday’s Heavenly Pride Apotheosis Battle, I watched it from beginning to end. Our son-in-law simultaneously practices Cultivation, Martial Arts, and Mechanical paths, and none of his developments are weak. The future resource investment probably won’t be a small number.”

“Hahaha!” Gu Xuanting laughed aloud. “Time-type divine kingdom talents are inherently best suited for multi-line development. As for resources? The Gu Family lacks nothing least of all resources. Coupled with your Lu family’s channel support, this child’s future achievements will definitely not be below ours.”

As he spoke, his eyes even faintly revealed a trace of anticipation.

“We’ve found a good son-in-law.” Lu Qinglan sighed softly.

“I only hope that Le’er can help each other with him in the future. That way, her future path of the divine kingdom can also go a bit smoother.”

…

Real World.

Gu Le stretched lazily and looked at Yang Fan with a smile. “There are still quite a few fun places in Taichu City. Do you want to look around together?”

“No need.” Yang Fan shook his head. “I have an appointment with someone else today.”

Hearing this, Gu Le did not show any disappointment.

After exchanging contact information, Yang Fan directly left the Gu Family Restaurant.

Watching Yang Fan’s receding figure, Gu Le stood in place in silence for a moment.

Then, driven by an inexplicable impulse, she walked over to a nearby mirror and carefully examined her appearance, which she had specially dressed up for today.

Slightly wavy long hair, a body-hugging red dress, and an exquisite visage.

No matter how she looked at it, she couldn’t find any flaws.

“Is this guy a monk? This Young Miss is so pretty, yet he doesn’t have any crooked thoughts at all? We are legal now, you know…” Gu Le couldn’t help muttering softly, a rare hint of self-doubt even surfacing in her eyes.

A moment later, she suddenly let out a soft hum. “Forget it, there’s still plenty of time in the future. Sooner or later I’ll win you over, my ascetic-style husband!”

In fact, Yang Fan rejecting Gu Le really wasn’t him putting on airs of reticence; he genuinely had matters to attend to.

Sima Bang had gathered people for a gathering again today. Messages had been sent over one after another since morning, afraid that Yang Fan wouldn’t go.

If it were in the past, between a beauty and bros, Yang Fan would most likely have chosen the former without hesitation.

But ever since he was “enlightened” by Yang Da, nowadays his entire mind was devoted to the development of his divine kingdom.

As for the low-level dopamine stimulation of the Physical Body, his interest was no longer as great as it used to be.

As for attending Sima Bang’s gathering, it wasn’t entirely for brotherhood either; rather, he genuinely had questions in his heart that he wanted to consult them about.

After the matters concluded, he still had to go back and continue studying.

…

Yuexiang Pavilion.

Yang Fan familiarly arrived at the old spot on the second floor.

This time, it was still a small gathering of the Qingshan District F4.

And Yang Fan was the last one to arrive.

As the private room door was pushed open, Sima Bang and the other two, who had been sitting, stood up simultaneously.

“Brother Yang, you’re finally here! I didn’t even dare to touch my chopsticks; I was about to starve to death!” Sima Bang wailed as he swiftly pulled open the chair for the main seat.

That appearance was practically more professional than a restaurant waiter.

“Brother Yang, thank you for the Heavenly Pride Apotheosis Battle.” Ye Jianfeng wore a serious expression and bowed solemnly toward Yang Fan.

He was well aware that throughout the Heavenly Pride Apotheosis Battle, he had never stood in the very front ranks. Being able to receive a sponsorship of ten million Divinity Points was entirely because Yang Fan carried him through.

That was ten million Divinity Points! For him at present, it was enough to change the recent developmental trajectory of his entire divine kingdom.

Such a kindness naturally deserved to be engraved in his heart.

“Brother Yang, congratulations.” Wen Yushui had clearly dressed up carefully today.

A light blue long dress outlined her slender figure, and her hair had also been specially tidied up.

Yet at this moment, she lowered her head, her peripheral vision constantly stealing glances at Yang Fan, as if wanting to find something on his face.

Back in the past Qingshan District F4, everyone still called Yang Fan “Brother Yang”.

However, after this Heavenly Pride Apotheosis Battle, the term of address had shifted from “Brother” to “Big Brother”.

This wasn’t due to a distancing of relationships; rather, as status and position changed, people would subconsciously adjust their forms of address and distance between one another—such is human nature.
