Even Auntie Is Stronger Than Mother Now?

"Alright, alright, come over here." Lu Qing'an waved to the group of people.

A group of people approached, laughing, and sat down at the large round table.

The seating arrangement for each person was carefully chosen.

Zhao Wutong and Li Cangxuan sat together. Li Cangxuan's apprentice, Zhou Xiachen, and his family of three sat closer to Li Cangxuan.

The Blood Phoenix Sect members then moved closer to Zhao Wutong.

Dao of Alchemy Master's two disciples sat with Xu Xuanyu.

Luo Danhong sat with Wang Duanshan and Xiao Qingyi.

Hu Xinxin really wanted to sit with Lu Qing'an, but Xue Tianfei insisted on pushing her aside, so she could only sit next to Xue Tianfei, with Xue Tianfei separating her from Lu Qing'an.

As for the children, they sat on the other side of Lu Qing'an.

"Wow! Daddy! Grandpa Xiao! I love you so much! You made the soup I've been wanting to drink so much again?" As soon as Lu Miaomiao got closer and saw the delicious dishes on the table, her little face lit up with joy, and her eyes sparkled like stars.

My mouth is watering!

"Haha, Miaomiao, you should thank your friend for getting me the food you wanted this time," Xiao Qingyi laughed.

"Friend? Grandpa Xiao! You mean the Good Dragon?!" Lu Miaomiao asked in surprise.

"Yes, it will come soon."

"Wow!!! Really?! The Good Dragon is coming?!" Lu Miaomiao was overjoyed.

"Woof woof!" Xiao Tian, who was squatting at Lu Miaomiao's feet, suddenly barked.

Lu Miaomiao gently patted Xiao Tian's head. "Xiao Tian, you're also my good friend, so don't be jealous!"

"Woof woof!" Xiao Tian then revealed his dog teeth and smiled happily.

"You're here," Xiao Qingyi said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant dragon flew rapidly from the horizon.

Seeing this, Lu Miaomiao stood up with a smile and waved wildly, "Good Dragon! Good Dragon! Over here!!"

As the Nether Bone Dragon approached the courtyard, it was startled to see that it was filled with people below, almost all of whom were the most powerful figures in the Demon Domain.

Furthermore, it was discovered that half of the people here possessed strength comparable to that of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor in his prime!

"Is this the top-tier network?! Have I really integrated into it?!" The Nether Bone Dragon swallowed hard, then quickly shrank and carefully flew down from the courtyard.

"Hello! Hello! Am I late?!"

A human-like fawning expression appeared on the Nether Bone Dragon's dragon face.

"Second Brother! Make room for me! Good Dragon! Come sit here!!" Lu Miaomiao giggled.

Lu Zhengran nodded and made room for him.

The Nether Bone Dragon nodded hurriedly, and its Demonic Qi coalesced into a human form.

In an instant, a burly middle-aged man appeared before everyone's eyes.

He was clad in stark white bone armor, with jagged bone spurs adorning his joints, yet his honest and simple smile remained undiminished.

His square face exuded simplicity, yet his dragon eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, making him look like a peasant dressed in the skin of a wild beast.

"So I'll really sit here?" The Nether Bone Dragon looked at Lu Qing'an. Without Lu Qing'an's nod, it really wouldn't dare to sit down.

Lu Qing'an nodded calmly.

"Alright, alright!!" The Nether Bone Dragon chuckled.

Then, it looked at the delicacies on the table and swallowed.

Good heavens, the meat of my good buddies...

Eat more later!!

After everyone had arrived, Lu Qing'an glanced at everyone present and said, "Before we eat, let me introduce my son to you."

He gestured for Lu Zhengran to stand up and let his son introduce himself first.

Lu Zhengran stood up nervously and introduced himself.

Then, Lu Qing'an introduced Dao of Alchemy Master and the others to Lu Zhengran.

Lu Zhengran quickly bowed respectfully to each of them.

Only after he finished his introductions did he let his son sit down.

The people who come here are all his closest friends. Regardless of whether his son stays here or not, even if he returns to the Immortal Ruins, he can still come here in the future. These people are his network of connections.

"Alright, let's eat. Don't be shy, let's chat while we eat," Lu Qing'an said with a smile, raising his glass to everyone to have a drink first.

After Lu Zhengran sat down, looking at the extremely lively and warm atmosphere, his mood began to become complicated again.

"Sis, is this often the case here?" he asked his sister telepathically.

He couldn't help but think of what had happened not long ago.

When he was still in the Immortal Ruins, the mother and son ate together, but the loneliness made him feel suffocated!

The mother and son barely exchanged three words during their meal!

I'm so lonely!!!

He assumed that his father had come here and was living a similar life.

I didn't expect it to be so lively here!

So wonderful!!

Living in this kind of atmosphere is simply wonderful!!

Lu Zixuan understood the meaning behind her younger brother's question, and she couldn't help but think of her mother, her feelings becoming somewhat complicated.

Now, only his mother is left over there.

I heard she's still in seclusion. After she comes out, she discovers that her only son, who was always by her side, has also secretly come here. How lonely she must be.

"It's always like this, Dad likes a lively atmosphere," Lu Zixuan replied telepathically.

Lu Zhengran lowered his head, his emotions extremely complicated.

He considered staying, but the thought of his mother made him feel sorry for her.

If I came here too, my mother would be so pitiful...

"I can't do this..." he gritted his teeth, thinking to himself.

The group had only been eating for a short while when the teleportation array outside the courtyard suddenly flashed with light.

The teleportation array has been activated.

Lu Qing'an was somewhat surprised.

You broke through so quickly?

It's Xu Yunyi who's back!

"Second Sister!" Xu Xuanyu suddenly stood up, his eyes widened, and he ran over in a flash.

"Auntie!!" Lu Zhengran also stood up and shouted.

Xu Yunyi walked into the courtyard with a smile. Seeing so many people here, and even Lu Zhengran, her smile blossomed like a flower.

Haha, Zhengran's here?

Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "You've broken through quite quickly. Come and sit down."

"Mmm!" Xu Yunyi took a deep breath and approached the dining table with her younger brother.

Luo Danhong also stood up and looked carefully at her apprentice.

Not bad, not bad!

This talent is incredible!

This is the Peak Great Emperor Realm!!

Lu Zhengran stepped forward with a smile, "Auntie! You've already broken through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm?!"

Xu Yunyi smiled and nodded, "After all, there's that time-traveling treasure."

She was actually surprised at how quickly she had broken through to the next level.

I thought it would take her at least ten days to successfully break through!

Lu Qing'an handed the Divine Crystal he had reserved for Xu Yunyi Xu Yunyi her.

"Just refine it directly."

"Okay! Thank you, brother-in-law!!" Xu Yunyi couldn't wait any longer.

She knew how to refine it, and after a short while, her cultivation aura surged wildly.

Lu Zhengran watched from the side, completely dumbfounded.

This!!!

"Alright, let's eat." Lu Qing'an said with a smile.

He only had one small piece of the Divine Crystal left, which he planned to save for Xu Xuanyu to use after his breakthrough.

Once it's used up, that's it.

Therefore, we need to find more in the near future.

The mysterious organization is also searching for these Divine Crystal; the more they find, the less the mysterious organization receives.

The Nether Bone Dragon's eyes glowed when it saw this.

I want one too!!

But it also knew that it wasn't worthy.

Lu Zhengran sat next to Xu Yunyi, eating and chatting with Xu Yunyi at the same time.

Looking at his aunt, he couldn't help but think of his mother.

If nothing unexpected happens, his mother is probably still in seclusion...

Unexpectedly, his aunt broke through her cultivation level faster than his mother, and her strength also increased by leaps and bounds because of a special crystal given to her by her father!

Now, his aunt is much better than his mother!!

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly to himself.

Mother, if you knew what was going on here, you'd cry your eyes out...

He was already thinking about how to tell his mother about the situation when he got back, so that she wouldn't feel so bad.
