Chapter 1059: Chapter 794: The Great Army of India (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

Upon hearing Su Yu calling Fang Yumei ’Mom,’ Lei Leian was momentarily stunned; she had not expected that having not seen him for a while, Su Yu would suddenly have an additional mother. Nevertheless, those details were insignificant. Observing the tender expression on Su Yu’s face as he addressed Fang Yumei, Lei Leian was abruptly reminded of her own parents. Her nose tingled with emotion, almost bringing her to tears, but she held back and stepped forward, bowing slightly to Fang Yumei and respectfully addressed her as "Auntie."

Su Yu could tell that it was hard for Lei Leian to call out "Auntie," as the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Ao Lei was still too painful for her. His diversion was meant to spare her further heartache, so he forced a laugh to change the subject, announcing loudly, "Jin Fuhua, quickly prepare the room. From now on, Lei Leian will live here in Black Iron City, haha. That’s right, Fang Jiong, we should hold a grand banquet tonight. We all ought to welcome and honor Lei Leian properly."

Fang Yumei took a closer look at Lei Leian and marvelled at her breathtaking beauty, the likes of which Fang Yumei had never seen. As a mother witnessing her son bringing home such a girl after a mere trip outside, Fang Yumei felt a mix of alarm and delight. Seeing Lei Leian’s vulnerable and pitiable demeanor, Fang Yumei’s heart swelled with compassion. When Lei Leian called her "Auntie," she couldn’t help but reach out and gently take Lei Leian’s hand, looking at her as a mother-in-law would at a future daughter-in-law, finding more and more to like. She then began to inquire about Lei Leian’s name and her family.

When Su Yu stated his intentions to host a grand banquet for Lei Leian, a cheer rose from the crowd around them. Jin Fuhua laughed and said, "Fang Jiong, you’ll have to cook yourself. Tonight, we’ll get to taste Chef Fang’s excellent cooking once again."

Fang Yumei’s kindness towards Lei Leian only intensified her discomfort, yet in front of Fang Yumei, she struggled to keep her composure. Su Yu, sensing her feelings, interjected, "Mom, Lei Leian is tired. Let her rest for a while, will you? Stop bombarding her with questions."

Fang Yumei gave her son a reproachful look but stopped asking questions upon hearing him speak like that. Su Ting laughed softly, "It’s been some time since I’ve seen little Yu, and it seems he has learned to show concern for others."

Su Yu accompanied Lei Leian inside the great hall, where Ada landed on Feng Ming’s shoulder. Seeing her confused and restless demeanor, Ada simply explained everything that Mr. and Mrs. Ao Lei had done to Lei Leian. Feng Ming was shocked into silence upon hearing this.

"My sister... my brother-in-law... to be such people..." Feng Ming could hardly believe her ears, but the seriousness in Ada’s demeanor made it impossible to think she would lie.

"Sigh, that’s why Lei Leian is like this. Forget it, Feng Ming, I think you should go back. At least for now, Lei Leian may not know how to face you. Seeing you will only remind her of her own parents. Let her calm down a bit before you come back," Ada said with a shake of her head and a sigh.

Feng Ming nodded understandingly, her voice tinged with sadness, "I understand. Ada, thank you, and thank Su Yu for me. And... please take care of Lei Leian."

Ada hummed in acknowledgment as Feng Ming departed. Having watched Lei Leian grow up, Feng Ming truly held a deep affection for her. Yet Ada’s words made sense—seeing Feng Ming would inevitably remind Lei Leian of Feng Ya and Ao Lei and she would not know how to interact with Feng Ming.

Moreover, Feng Ming couldn’t stay for long; she needed to return to preside over the "Ocean Main City." The chaos was spreading across the world, and she could not linger.

In recent days, conflicts had escalated between the forces led by the "Child of Destiny" and the original powers of the "Ten Great Giant Cities." To defend themselves, the cities had to band together, abandoning many to consolidate their strength in the Main City. Ocean Main City, too, had gathered forces from hundreds of cities under its control to stand against the Child of Destiny. In such times, Feng Ming, as ruler of the Ocean Main City, had to assume the mantle of leadership.

Now homeless, Lei Leian naturally could not return to Sky Main City, and for the time being, she settled in Black Iron City. A few days later, when Zhang Zhongmou and White-headed Zhu Yan returned looking dejected, it turned out that he, like Su Yu, had gone looking for his kin and had come back empty-handed, his worries compounded by helplessness.

With no words to comfort him, all Su Yu could do was pat his shoulder. At least Zhang Zhongmou had not found their bodies; the uncertainty at least left room for hope. Now, Zhang Zhongmou clung to that slim chance.

Su Yu had brought Lei Leian back, and her mannerisms towards him were markedly affectionate, which did not sit well with Su Yun, who watched them with increasing discomfort. The more she looked at Lei Leian, the more irksome she found her but could find no excuse to air her aggravation, and her anger grew.

The situation in the Black Iron World continued to deteriorate, with the forces of the Child of Destiny growing stronger by the day. As more humans emerged from the Heavenly Pit Forest, these newcomers formed alliances within the chaotic world, rallying around the Child of Destiny. Gradually, several major powers were emerging, divided by their original nations and races.
