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

Chapter 382: Lu Yanran

Unlike the classical solemnity of the Gu Family…

As one of the Five Great Families, the Lu Family showcased another kind of extreme.

Technology! The future!

A cold yet brilliant aura of technological civilization virtually filled the entire space.

Where Yang Fan stood at this moment was a massive sky island floating in the starry sky.

Looking out, countless massive metal city clusters floated above the sea of clouds.

Skyscrapers towering tens of thousands of meters high pierced into the clouds, their outer walls crafted from an unknown alloy with complex data streams constantly flowing across their surfaces.

Countless intelligent aircraft shuttled between the cities, while a vast number of intelligent robots worked in perfect order.

Some were responsible for maintaining the urban environment, some managed commercial areas, and there were also some Advanced Intelligent Life forms, looking almost identical to Immortal Masters, who were handling various affairs.

Even some of the buildings themselves were autonomously maintained and repaired by intelligent machinery.

The entire sky island was like a super metropolis that truly belonged to a future era.

There were no noisy human voices, no chaotic disorder—everything was precise to the extreme.

Yang Fan swept his Mental Energy across the area, unable to help but feel deeply impressed.

“As expected of the Lu Family…”

Just then, Lu Wan’s figure suddenly appeared beside Yang Fan.

She naturally took Yang Fan’s hand and said with a smile:

“Husband, this is my mother’s private island in the Real World.”

“Aside from intelligent robots, no other carbon-based life forms live here.”

“Come with me.”

With that, Lu Wan led Yang Fan toward the center of the sky island.

Soon, the two arrived in front of a massive villa.

The villa was not as luxurious as traditional buildings; instead, it was full of technological aesthetic appeal, as if the entire structure merged seamlessly with its surroundings.

Lu Wan pushed open the front door, where a large number of intelligent robots were also at work inside.

In the center of the courtyard, a woman sat quietly.

At his first glance of her, Yang Fan was slightly stunned.

She was an extremely young-looking woman.

She wore a simple gown that nonetheless failed to conceal her nobility, with her pitch-black long hair draped casually behind her.

Her facial features were exquisite to the extreme, and there was an indescribable indifference and elegance between her brows.

Though she was merely sitting there quietly, she seemed to merge as one with heaven and earth.

That aura of hers even made people subconsciously shrink from looking directly at her.

This person was none other than Lu Wan’s mother—Lu Yanran.

Lu Yanran immediately cast her gaze upon Yang Fan.

The next moment.

Boom!

Yang Fan only felt an incredibly terrifying pressure instantly descend into the depths of his consciousness.

Even though they were only in the Virtual World at this moment, his mind felt as if it were being crushed by an invisible divine mountain.

Even his Divine Kingdom faintly experienced a sense of stagnation.

Yang Fan’s expression changed slightly, and his brows furrowed deeply.

But just a moment later, that terrifying pressure vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

“Not bad.” Lu Yanran nodded with satisfaction.

Yang Fan let out a soft breath.

In that instant just now, he had understood.

This mother-in-law of his was absolutely a High-Order God of terrifying strength.

She was not even weaker than an existence like Gu Xuanting.

“Greetings, Mother-in-law.” Yang Fan bowed respectfully.

After reaching the Realm of gods, one’s appearance could no longer be used to judge their true age.

Although Lu Yanran was Lu Wan’s mother, she looked barely older than Lu Wan.

If one didn’t know their relationship, anyone would probably think they looked more like sisters.

“Sit down.”

Lu Yanran said indifferently.

She then glanced at Lu Wan, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

“If I hadn’t brought it up myself, Wan’er would probably have been reluctant to bring you to see me.”

Hearing this, Lu Wan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

“Mom, we’ve only been together for a short while.”

“I prepared some gifts that you like, which is why I finally dared to bring my husband over.”

Lu Yanran rolled her eyes at her.

“I think you’ve just been having too much fun.”

“You used to take the initiative to contact me every week. How is it that now you have a husband, you’ve forgotten your mother?”

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Lu Wan’s face.

“That’s not true…”

Lu Yanran did not continue teasing her and instead held out her right hand.

“Where is the gift?”

“In the past, you never came to the Virtual World empty-handed.”

Lu Wan cleared her throat slightly, then took out a card and handed it over.

“Mom, these are clothes I carefully selected from the commercial street on The Frontline.”

“The brands and styles you usually like are too fixed. Why not try these new ones?”

“I think they suit you very well.”

Lu Yanran took the card and cast a brief glance, her expression instantly becoming peculiar.

“For me?”

“And… isn’t this size a bit off?”

The corner of Lu Yanran’s mouth twitched slightly.

Seeing this, Yang Fan also released his Mental Energy to check the items inside the card.

The next second, his expression instantly became highly entertaining.

“Damn…”

“Wan’er, you really are ‘filial’.”

Yang Fan was speechless in his heart.

How was this ‘carefully selected’?

These were clearly the few ‘ugliest’ styles that Yang Fan had picked out at home according to his own taste after Lu Wan dragged him shopping yesterday.

She didn’t want to wear them herself.

And now… she was giving them to her mother?

For a moment, Yang Fan didn’t even know what to say.

After all, the clothes sold on The Frontline’s commercial street were called clothes, but they were actually more like a type of special defensive equipment.

Although the quality was decent, judging by Lu Yanran’s attire, these things probably wouldn’t catch her eye at all.

Yang Fan even suspected…

…whether his wife was deliberately setting up her own mother.

Yang Fan cleared his throat and stepped forward.

“Mother-in-law, this is the gift that Wan’er and I actually prepared.”

With that, he handed over another card.

Lu Yanran took the card and merely glanced at it casually, but a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

However, she didn’t say much and instead waved her hand gently.

“Alright, don’t just stand there.”

“Taste the new flavor of Immortal Brew I recently blended.”

As her voice fell,

an intelligent robot walked over slowly, carrying three incredibly exquisite luminous cups.

The liquid in the cups swirled, emitting a faint ripple of Spiritual Qi.

“Xiao Fan, I can call you that, right?”

Lu Yanran picked up her glass and asked softly.

“Of course.”

Yang Fan nodded hastily.

The person before him was no ordinary god.

She was highly likely an existence on the same level as Gu Xuanting.

Looking across the entire Human Federation, she was a major figure with immense authority.

Against a powerhouse of this caliber, even he had to maintain sufficient respect.

“Xiao Fan.”

Lu Yanran took a light sip of the Immortal Brew and then said slowly:

“My Lu Family controls over eighty percent of the commercial Resources in the entire Human Federation.”

“Although the Yang Corporation you founded has good development momentum now, its foundation is ultimately still too shallow.”

“I will arrange the connections, Resources, and channels you will need in the future.”

“You can also use my name when conducting affairs outside.”
