Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 566 - 151 Gu Pan: My Home is Gone (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

"What...?"

The gold-rimmed glasses fell to the ground, snake scales scattered about, and flesh evaporated at the speed of light.

It had entered the 2x2 meter area where Xu Shu was hidden, so it melted.

Ding Ling Ling~

"Yi, the treasure sword has melted, it’s okay, don’t cry~" The little sister comforted her older sister incessantly. She had dug up the sword’s scabbard, but the treasure sword inside had corroded into a gray, crumbly rotten wood that fell apart when pinched.

"Wuwuwu~" The older sister sobbed sadly.

At that moment, their mother finally finished her work. Hearing her daughter’s crying, she had no choice but to see what was happening.

She turned around and froze.

There were tiny gold-rimmed eyeglasses under her daughters’ bottoms, and a gemstone radiating a ghostly blue light.

The gem was crystal clear, with spiral fluff spinning inside it; upon closer inspection, there were actually sixteen strands.

"This is..." The young woman was stunned, her eyes widened, and her upper lip quivered uncontrollably.

It was an Erosion Crystal!

There was actually an Erosion Crystal that had fallen here!

But there was a hole in her daughter’s pants.

So, so...

Yi had laid an egg!

She had given life to an Erosion Crystal!

No wonder she was so silly, not as bright as Xiao Yun from her youth. So she actually wasn’t human!

The young woman suddenly understood the reasoning behind it all.

But this was no good. The family had already moved away, leaving her without support. Even though she had previously been without backing due to her lack of qualifications, her situation now was even worse than before.

Thus, she nervously embraced her daughter, changed her into new pants, and instructed earnestly, "Remember, Yi, no matter who it is, you must not tell them about your egg-laying!"

"Xiao Yun, you must remember too, you have to keep your sister’s secret! Not a word to anyone!"

"Oh."

"I understand, Amah!"

Xiao Yun nodded firmly, while Yi tugged on her pants pitifully.

She felt wronged; she didn’t think she could lay eggs.

I may not be smart, but I’m not one of those fat chickens at home; how could I lay eggs?

But she dared not speak out because her pants had torn a hole, and she was afraid of being beaten by her mother if she did.

Plus, she had another thing she didn’t dare mention—she suddenly felt an urge to urinate.

It was a very pressing urge.

...

...

In the D8B3 safety zone.

To the north of the Supervision Bureau’s circular railroad, the Hunter Association.

Gu Pan and Gu Yue Ming stood here, their faces revealing helplessness and bewilderment.

"Auntie, hasn’t he replied to your message yet?" Gu Pan asked casually.

Gu Yue Ming sighed, "Not for the time being, he probably hasn’t seen it yet. With his methods, he should be fine."

"That’s true... Wait, how do you trust him so much?" Gu Pan asked, alert.

Gu Yue Ming flustered for a moment and quickly changed the subject, "Panpan, let’s not think too much right now. What should we do next?"

"What to do next..." Gu Pan moved her lips, revealing a bitter smile. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Mother and daughter stood in the hall of the Hunter Association. There were chairs nearby, but they truly couldn’t sit still.

Looking at what used to be the direction signs for the Tang Family, Gu Family, and Song Family—the three major families—the one that belonged to "Gu Family" had now become "Wei Family," sending them deep into thought.

The Gu Family was gone.

Why was it gone?

It wasn’t defeated.

The Gu Family had moved away.

According to a few remaining members of the Gu Family in the Hunter Association, Mr. Gu had moved several days ago, in a great hurry, buying plane tickets overnight and relocating the entire family.

The ancestral home, the clan hall, the Sword Qi training facilities, and all other key infrastructures had vanished.

And other buildings had been taken over by the emerging power in the Hunter Association, "Wei Family."

This matter had been finalized the day before yesterday, going through the Supervision Bureau officially. Gu Pan and Gu Yue Ming checked the paperwork at the Supervision Bureau—it was complete and a formal transfer.

Of course, the Gu Family had deep roots in D8B3 area, and many members were outsiders or in-laws who didn’t want to move.

But all the Sword Masters, Sword Servants, and over thirty percent of the clan had left together.

In other words, the core members were all gone, leaving only the ’lower class’ people without Transcendent qualifications.

Going out for a trip and coming back to find home gone, to whom could they turn for reason?

Gu Yue Ming and Gu Pan were close to tears.

Gu Yue Ming had also tried to contact the Family Head and a few elders but had not received any replies yet.

"What’s wrong with Gu Shi Qian? Why did he suddenly move without even telling me?" Gu Yue Ming fell into deep self-doubt.

Gu Pan glanced at her and thought to herself, What are you, Auntie? Can’t you even see your own worth? Does the Family Head really need to explain himself to a mere Second Rank Sword Servant like you?

But this couldn’t be said. If it were said, they could no longer maintain their relationship as mother and daughter.

After waiting for a while, several familiar faces appeared from behind.

Gu Pan and Gu Yue Ming recognized them as members of the Gu Family’s side branches, who had worked menial tasks for the family.

They were still wearing their uniforms, but no longer was "Gu" on them, instead, it bore the "Wei" character.

The Wei Family was relatively polite and had taken over a large part of the remaining members of the Gu Family who had not moved.

These people had only done menial work at the Gu Family and did not want to move with the family. Some with the ability to work well were kept by the Wei family to continue their duties.

Some of the Gu family side branches, however, were forced to leave and had to find their own way in the world.

After all, the Wei Family had their own clan members and could not possibly reserve all of the lower-level positions for non-family members. Those of little value and without someone to speak for them were naturally not supported gratuitously.
