Chapter 194: Chapter 19 In the evening with the beautiful auntie at the safe house... (Please subscribe)

Gu Family, residential district. A cluster of four tall buildings formed the shape of the character for "tool", with an aerial corridor traversing the center.

At this moment, in a duplex apartment, one of the widowed swordmasters of the Gu Family—Gu Yue Ming, just took off her office lady outfit and enjoyed a nice bath, now donning a bathrobe as she stepped out, lying on the sumptuously elastic sofa.

While drying her wet hair, she touched her ring and activated the leveling-up network.

"Widowed sword servant" was an in-house joke within the Gu Family, referring to the servants of sword masters who had died, with a similar term for widowed sword masters.

The Gu Family ancestral teachings did not support dating, so family members who were four generations removed would be paired according to a drawing of lots—a "Martial Artist" sword master and a "Doctor" sword servant. Without significant objections from either party, they would typically marry by default to continue the lineage.

When one half of the pair died, the surviving member naturally became "widowed".

Gu Yue Ming had only recently become a sword servant when her sword master, thinking highly of himself, ventured into the Wasteland to challenge a group of Esoteric believers alone and was then killed.

By the time the Gu Family got the news and went to avenge him, most of the core members had fled, leaving only some members and peripheral accomplices—all of whom were cleanly eliminated.

Since then, she had been a widowed sword servant and had not remarried.

However, with Gu Pan becoming a sword master, she smoothly signed a Master-Servant Contract with her niece, temporarily bidding farewell to her widowed life.

"This student must be exceptional to earn Panpan’s approval... Oh, he’s replied."

Gu Yue Ming swiped through the interface.

Before showering, she had sent him a picture of her niece, thinking it would surely knock him off his feet.

Yet, nearly an hour had passed before he finally replied.

[Notification: The other party has returned a photo to you.]

"Hello, about the enrollment proof and the two million, I have arrived outside the Hunter Association, can we meet?"—Gu Pan, First-tier Warrior.

Gu Yue Ming clicked on the message and saw it was indeed the same photo she had sent.

"Yikes, even Panpan’s bath photo didn’t attract him? Could it be that their relationship is purely that of teacher and student, purely a platonic relationship? Maybe I misjudged Panpan."

Gu Yue Ming got up to dress, feeling a bit embarrassed, and casually texted back: "Wait a moment, I’ll be right there. The photo I just sent was just a test to see if you’re loyal to Panpan. You’ve passed the test, which is great, so let’s just forget about it completely and don’t tell Panpan."

"Sure thing, Mrs. Gu. You wouldn’t want my teacher to know about this either, right?"—Gu Pan.

Seeing this, Gu Yue Ming thought, of course, it would be so embarrassing if he found out.

But, did this kid not do well in Chinese? Why do the words he sends read so strangely...

As for him suddenly addressing her as Mrs. Gu, Gu Yue Ming didn’t think much of it.

In her view, although this person had a teacher-student relationship with Gu Pan, he wasn’t part of the Gu Family, so their statuses were quite equal, and there was nothing wrong with him calling her that.

"I guess I should maintain some elder dignity in front of this child, so as not to ruin the teacher-student relationship between Panpan and him."

She briskly began to change, originally intending to wear her favorite urban professional attire, but after hesitating for a moment, she instead picked up the black uniform of the Gu family.

Black bodysuit, black head band, black wrist bands.

Clothes make the person.

In this outfit, Gu Yue Ming transformed instantaneously from a seductive young widow into a competent female assassin.

But her eyes were still too gentle.

...

"Heh, sending such a risqué photo and thinking it might cover two million? What was she thinking, haven’t I seen it all already?"

Xu Shu closed the chat box, his expression indifferent.

Standing on the road behind the Judgement Department, he was opposite the Hunter Association he had visited before.

It wasn’t long before Xu Shu saw a woman in black approaching.

It must be Gu Yue Ming... he thought, and as she got closer, he noticed she was a youthful and beautiful mature woman with curves accentuated by her overly tight clothes, like a ripe peach teetering as she walked.

Jeez, dressed like an assassin? Mrs., why do you look so full of charm...

It wasn’t surprising he had such thoughts; Gu Yue Ming’s figure was far too enticing and didn’t fit the assassin profile.

However, although thinking this, Xu Shu remained deadpan, after all, she was Gu Pan’s elder.

Looking behind her, Xu Shu couldn’t help but ask: "Where’s Gu Pan? Isn’t she coming?"

Gu Yue Ming glanced at him and was pleasantly surprised to find no hint of lechery in his gaze, a rare display of propriety in a man.

Slightly smiling, she replied softly, "Panpan is stabilizing her realm. Our family is quite unique; those blessed by our ancestors and with extraordinary talent can often advance to Level 5 within a few days. Then they must venture out, using battle to prove themselves. When the time comes, you two can travel together..."

"Advance to Level 5 in a few days?" Xu Shu thought the pace was okay. He wasn’t a novice and knew that not every Transcendent could simply eat an Erosion Crystal and elevate like eating or drinking.

Gu Yue Ming mistook his reaction for surprise and explained with a laugh, "Don’t be astonished. For any Gu Family sword master, this is quite normal, though seclusion is necessary."

"Alright, then what about my enrollment proof? Do I need to wait for her to emerge to take care of it?" Xu Shu asked.
