I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 712 Lu Lang Is the Most Powerful

Quite a few guests had arrived, and Lu Zheng personally cooked sixteen dishes — eight hot and eight cold.

Because Zen Master Dejie was present, Lu Zheng specially prepared a vegetarian feast.

This spread of dishes made everyone, including Zen Master Dejie, truly understand what "vegetarian banquet" meant!

"Is this... tofu?"

"Peanut oil, and these vegetarian meats are all soy products, some made from wheat," Lu Zheng said as he picked up a piece of vegetarian chicken with chopsticks. "I assure you there's not a trace of meat."

In fact, Zen Master Dejie had previously mentioned that he wasn't particular; a simple steamed bun and a bowl of clear water would suffice. However, Lu Zheng insisted that there was no issue and promised to satisfy everyone.

Now, these dishes brought those who had tasted Lu Zheng's culinary skills to a new level of appreciation for them.

"Brother-in-law is amazing!"

"Smells so good, just like real meat!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

Ao Qian and Liu Qingquan sat obediently together, while Ao Yi stayed with Madam Liu, chatting about the two little girls.

Ao Jin sat at the main seat, Zen Master Dejie at the secondary seat, with Lu Zheng accompanying them on the other side. Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying, as hosts, went back and forth greeting the guests.

"So, was it Sister Ao Qi who tipped them off?" Ao Qian pouted and mumbled.

Ao Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "You yourself slipped and mentioned Ao Qi, yet you won't allow us to ask that girl Ao Qi?"

"Huh? Did I slip myself?" Ao Qian's face was filled with confusion; she had no recollection. Perhaps when Ao Qi was around, she mentioned her during a call with her parents?

"Oh..." Ao Qian hung her head and dared not make a sound.

"Why the gloomy face? Are you really that unwilling to see your parents?" Ao Yi teased her.

"I'm not gloomy!" Ao Qian perked up, her spirit lively and radiant.

Ao Yi laughed, "We know you're reluctant. We never planned on taking you back immediately."

"Eh?"

"No rush. Your father has everything arranged on the East Sea side. Heading back before the end of the year will do. We planned to accompany you until around the New Year in Tonglin County," Ao Yi smiled and said.

"Then why did you hide it from me!" Ao Qian burrowed into Ao Yi's embrace to act playfully.

"We wanted to see how you get along in your daily life," Ao Yi laughed.

Concealing their identity allowed them to naturally interact with Lu Zheng and the Liu Family. Now, even with their identities revealed, there is no sense of estrangement.

Of course, the key point is that Ao Jin and his spouse approved of Lu Zheng and the Liu Family; otherwise, they would have taken Ao Qian away immediately.

Lu Zheng has profound cultivation, Liu Qingyan is full of merit, and Shen Ying's incense is plentiful, making them highly esteemed wherever they go.

Moreover, not only did they save Ao Qian's life, but they also treated her well subsequently and didn't neglect her studies—a rarity in the entire Great Jing Dynasty.

"It's a pity that the master abstains from alcohol; otherwise, he could try Young Master Lu's Wuliangye and Flower Carved Wine, which, though mortal items, are exceptional wines," Ao Jin joked to Zen Master Dejie, then lifted a cup of Flower Carved Wine and drank it all in one go.

"Amitabha Buddha!" Zen Master Dejie sipped the clear tea in his cup, "This humble monk vowed long ago to only drink spring water and plain tea when thirsty, and to eat only vegetarian dishes and staple grains when hungry."

Ao Jin nodded understandingly.

However, Zen Master Dejie laughed, "But this humble monk didn't expect that there would be such a vegetarian banquet in the world. Donor Lu's skills might even make him a head chef in the Imperial Kitchen!"

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

As they ate and chatted, Lu Zheng also learned about Zen Master Dejie.

Zen Master Dejie had vowed to travel the world in hardship, seeking to understand the mundane world, asking each person he met for a copper coin to cast a statue of Venerable Shakyamuni.

In Lu Zheng's view, it was like setting a personal goal and experiencing life along the way.

Too much cultivation leads to boredom!

Jade Seal, "..."

...

That night, Zen Master Dejie stayed at Ao Jin's residence, and naturally, Ao Qian also went home to stay with her mother for the night, although her bed at the Liu place was still kept ready for her, so Ao Qian planned to go back and forth.

In the Lu Family's master bedroom, Lu Zheng was cuddled warmly under a large, thick quilt with Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan, their skin warmly touching.

Soft, warm, and fragrant.

"Oh my God! The Dragon King of the Jade Dragon Race! We actually dined at the same table with him!" Shen Ying exclaimed in wonder.

Liu Qingyan nodded repeatedly. Before, they were separated by a layer that was Ao Qian, so they hadn't met and the feeling wasn't apparent. Seeing him today, especially after witnessing his prowess, was truly terrifying.

"Is it that surprising?" Lu Zheng blinked, though in his heart he knew it was indeed surprising.

One of the Four Great Dragon Races of the East Sea, the contemporary Clan Leader of the Jade Dragon Race.

In terms of cultivation, he's at the pinnacle of the present age!

In terms of status, equal to Emperor Jing!

In terms of power, a force that shakes the East Sea!

Judging by his skills, Lu Zheng thought Ao Jin might be the most formidable person he's met so far.

Well, perhaps Zen Master Dejie and that old beggar from the Celestial Escape Sect might be comparable? But Lu Zheng admitted he couldn't tell!

Oh, right, the imposing presence when Wansong Daoist broke through that day was also impressive. It's hard to say who would be stronger in a fight with Ao Jin, but Wansong Daoist, being solitary, surely couldn't compare to the East Sea Jade Dragon Race's might.

Oh, also forgot about his own ancestors at the White Cloud Temple. That master I beat in chess last New Year—judging by the respect other seniors showed him, he must be quite formidable too.

Lu Zheng was internally ranking the masters he knew, while Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying pressed closely against him on either side.

Hearing him say "Is it that surprising?" and then fall silent in thought, they assumed Lu Zheng was sulking because they were excited about meeting Ao Jin.

Though they didn't think Lu Zheng would be so petty, not having immediately dealt with the giant corpse earlier, then seeing Zen Master Dejie and Ao Jin take turns in action, with such overwhelming presence, was indeed awe-inspiring.

For Lu Zheng, who had always experienced smooth sailing until now, it might have been quite a stimulating experience, making him sensitive for a moment.

"Lu Lang~"

Liu Qingyan gently shook Lu Zheng's arm, "Lu Lang is only inexperienced in cultivation for now. Given time, you'll certainly become a great hero admired by all."

"Husband~"

Shen Ying also snuggled closer from the side, "Your talent and understanding are the best I have ever seen in my life. Not only do you master cultivation techniques and spells easily, but your progress in cultivation and Dao practice is astonishing, enough to frighten me."

Liu Qingyan added, "Moreover, Lu Lang is proficient in everything: music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and possesses extraordinary medical skills."

Shen Ying nodded and chimed in, "Your noble character treats immortals and mortals alike, with a serene and lofty mentality. The future is limitless."

Lu Zheng: ⊙_⊙??

Lu Zheng jolted back to reality, "Stop, stop, why are you suddenly praising me out of nowhere?"

Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying exchanged a glance, nodded, and decided to let the prideful Lu Zheng have an enjoyable night.

"In our hearts, Lu Lang, you are the greatest," Liu Qingyan said softly. Her furry tail suddenly appeared, brushing gently.

Shen Ying nodded, gripped, and chuckled softly, "Great in every way!"

Lu Zheng: (⊙o⊙)!!
