Chapter 34. (2/2)

The Lu family lived in the central inner ring. At six o’clock, Lu Ya drove into the family compound.

Young members of the Lu family walked along the road, shocked to see Lu Ya with Gu Fan in the passenger seat, craning their necks to look.

Lu Ya ignored them, only stopping when he saw an older female relative observing them.

“Aunt.”

This was Lu Ya’s aunt, Lu Ying, born after the base’s establishment. She was forty-seven, a dual-element A-level gold and water user, and still unmarried.

Lu Ying glanced at Gu Fan, her gaze stopping on Gu Fan’s earlobes.

“She’s my girlfriend, Gu Fan. Grandpa wants to meet her,” Lu Ya explained.

Like Lu Ya, Lu Ying had a naturally cold demeanor. She said discontentedly, “Why didn’t Grandpa notify me about you bringing your girlfriend home for the first time?”

“I thought he would invite you,” Lu Ya replied.

Lu Ying snorted and headed for the back seat.

Once Lu Ya unlocked the car, she got in.

Based on Lu Ying’s appearance, Gu Fan guessed she was the biological daughter of Lu Ya’s grandmother, making her Lu Ya’s biological aunt.

This relationship warranted a gift.

While Gu Fan pondered what suitable low-key pills she had for Lu Ying, Lu Ying suddenly asked, “Do you have a spatial crystal?”

Gu Fan quickly replied, “Yes, Lu Ya gave me one.”

Lu Ying nodded, then unexpectedly produced a half-meter-long assault rifle and handed it to Gu Fan. “This is the latest A-level rifle developed by the military. It has ten bullets. Take it as a meeting gift.”

Gu Fan was too shocked to react.

Weapons capable of breaking through A-level monster defenses were A-level weapons, costing over a million merit points for mercenaries or ordinary people. Lu Ying casually gave her such a gift, making her feel less like an outsider.

“Aunt oversees the Lu family’s military weapon development. You don’t need to be polite with her,” Lu Ya said while driving.

Feeling the gun’s weight, Gu Fan quickly accepted it and, unable to hide her excitement, told Lu Ying, “Aunt, I’m just a freelancer with little skill. I only learned a bit of alchemy from my grandfather. If you need any pills, just let me know. I’ll make whatever I can for you.”

“Alchemy?” Lu Ying asked, surprised.

Gu Fan modestly nodded and introduced the seven types of pills she currently sold.

After silence, Lu Ying said, “I’m not interested in those. Can you make any life-saving or monster-killing pills?”

Gu Fan was speechless.

It seemed both aunt and nephew had high expectations of her.

She admitted, “Making high-level pills requires a certain ability level. My grandfather can do it, but I can’t, and I don’t know the recipes.”

Lu Ying didn’t seem to have high hopes for her, so she nodded and said nothing more.

They arrived at the central mansion of the estate.

The three got out of the car together.

Lu Ying led the way, and Lu Ya circled to Gu Fan’s side, offering his left arm.

Gu Fan looked at him, puzzled.

With a calm expression, Lu Ya placed her right hand on his arm.

Gu Fan recalled some TV scenes and understood.

Thinking of the expensive gift from Lu Ying, she smiled and snuggled closer to Lu Ya.

Inside the hall, Lu Yao, Lu Lan, and Lu Jingtian were watching TV with Lu Sheng.

Hearing footsteps, Lu Sheng turned and was pleasantly surprised to see his daughter, Lu Ying. “Xiao Ying, you’re here?”

Lu Ying’s face remained cold. “Lu Ya’s bringing his girlfriend home for the first time, and you didn’t tell me?”

Lu Sheng had already noticed Gu Fan holding his grandson’s arm, looking like the type who relied on beauty to attract his grandson. He had suspected this and, thus, didn’t take tonight’s dinner seriously, nor did he invite his daughter.

“Too many things going on, I forgot.” Lu Sheng stood up with a loving smile.

Lu Ya led Gu Fan forward and introduced her to the old marshal.

Gu Fan presented her gift with a bright smile, only mentioning its strengthening effects and not its life-extending properties.

Lu Sheng smiled and spoke politely, doubtful about Gu Fan’s impressive grandfather.

Dinner was ready, and they all moved to the dining room.

It wasn’t until they sat down that Lu Sheng noticed the unique pearl earrings Gu Fan wore.

He looked at Lu Ya in disbelief.

Lu Ya was explaining to Gu Fan how white liquor was made.

Eight-year-old Lu Jingtian asked, “Does Aunt Gu not know about white liquor?”

Gu Fan openly explained, “I’ve always lived outside the base, never went to school, and didn’t watch TV. I only learned many things after coming to the base.”

Jingtian exclaimed, “Wow! The outside is full of monsters. Big Sister must be very strong to survive out there for so long.”

Gu Fan was speechless.

She’d think he was mocking her if the chubby boy’s eyes weren’t so clear.

Lu Ya suddenly corrected his nephew, “You should call her Aunt.”

Jingtian said, “But she looks more like a sister.”

Lu Yao added, “I look more like a sister, but you call me little aunt.”

Jingtian blinked and finally changed his address to Gu Fan, “Little Aunt.”

Gu Fan was amused, thinking, “Little Aunt? You should be calling me Great-Aunt!”
