Huang Mengde laughed, "Aunt Pei, how could I?"
Pei Xue looked at the still-falling snow outside. "Young Master, if this snow doesn't stop... Lu Ming might be trapped to death."
"Even in a villa, food supplies last at most a month. With several women inside, he won't last long."
"Maybe we don't need to do anything. He'll starve to death."
The Huang family, being second only to the Gu family, naturally had some shelters built.
Though not as advanced as the Gu family's doomsday safe house, it could still withstand the snowstorm for some time.
Today, with the continuous snowfall,
The Huang family patriarch also notified family members to move to the shelter. Huang Mengde and Pei Xue received the message.
Huang Mengde said fiercely, "I can't wait that long. Thinking of Su Yuno in Lu Ming's villa... infuriates me!"
"Aunt Pei, I know your skills! You're good at dealing with men..."
"I want you to kill Lu Ming tonight!"
Pei Xue sighed and stood up.
She glanced at Huang Mengde and said softly, "Young Master, don't forget what Aunt Pei has done for you."
Lu Ming looked outside, watching the heavy snowfall.
The snow was already a meter deep...
The neighborhood was empty, not a soul in sight.
"Seems like nothing's happening today..." Lu Ming stretched lazily. "Which maid's potential should I awaken next?"
Thinking this, Lu Ming couldn't help but rub his nose...
I consider them tools, but the process of awakening their potential is so exhausting.
I'm always worn out, but they're happy.
Who's the tool here...
As Lu Ming was feeling a bit speechless, a woman appeared in the neighborhood.
A very seductive, alluring woman.
Pei Xue wore a tight leather jacket and black thigh-high boots.
Her outfit showcased her impressive figure.
She walked slowly in the snow, heading towards Lu Ming's villa.
Through the surveillance and the Void Reflection Crystal, Lu Ming saw this scene...
At that moment, the system's voice sounded.
"Ding! Target identified for the Beauty Appraisal." Name: Pei Xue - Assassin Age: 32 Height: 171 cm Weight: 56 kg Appearance: 83 Figure: 85 Comprehensive Rating: 84 Affection: 0 (Stranger) Youth: 137 Beauty Appraisal: Not activated
"A female assassin..." Lu Ming raised an eyebrow. "Interesting... seems like another guest has arrived..."
Pei Xue reached Lu Ming's door and rang the bell.
Inside, Lu Ming ordered his four maids, "Return to your rooms. Do not come out without my permission."
"Yes, Master." The four maids replied in unison and went to their respective rooms.
Lu Ming waited a moment before opening the door.
Seeing the beautiful woman outside, Lu Ming asked calmly, "Who are you?"
Pei Xue raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Lu, hello... I'm Pei Xue, an assassin."
Lu Ming was slightly taken aback. She revealed her identity?
Is she going to attack immediately...
Pei Xue seemed to read Lu Ming's thoughts, flashing a seductive smile.
She raised her hands high, "Mr. Lu... don't be afraid, I didn't bring any weapons."
"If you don't believe me..." Pei Xue looked at Lu Ming, her eyes filled with allure. "You can search me if you like~"
Lu Ming scrutinized Pei Xue for a moment, then said coldly, "Come in."
Pei Xue walked into the villa's hall, glancing around at the surroundings.
"Mr. Lu, this place is really nice!" Pei Xue's smile was bright, not at all like that of an assassin.
"It's freezing outside, but here it feels like spring..."
Lu Ming interrupted her, "Speak, what do you want?"
"You came to kill me, yet you reveal yourself."
Pei Xue sighed, "Mr. Lu, an assassin's life is still a life. Do you think I'm foolish?"
"Before I act, I investigate your information."
Pei Xue seemed to feel hot and took off her jacket.
"During my investigation, I found out that even the Flying Knife King Wang Chuan wasn't your match... How could I, a mere woman, stand a chance?"
Pei Xue sighed, "My employer is Huang Mengde from the Huang family. Because of the university girl Su Yuno, he wants me to kill you."
"But I can't disobey my employer..." Pei Xue said softly, "So, I had no choice but to defect to you."
Lu Ming stared at the woman, trying to determine if she was lying.
Pei Xue continued, "I know women have defected to you before... Mr. Lu, I may be older, but I'm still beautiful."
"Besides, I'm sure my skills are better than theirs..." Pei Xue chuckled, "and much more comfortable..."
"So, Mr. Lu... no, Master, please take me in, won't you?"
Lu Ming's expression turned cold as he carefully observed the woman, pondering.
Is she telling the truth? Is she genuinely defecting?
Though Pei Xue had been through many battles... she still met the Beauty Appraisal standards...
To enhance my strength, should I accept her?
Once she submits, her loyalty would be at 100%, eliminating any chance of betrayal.
But... why does this still feel off?
After a moment of thought, Lu Ming coldly said, "Take off your shoes and socks. I need to ensure you're not hiding any weapons."
Pei Xue obediently nodded, following Lu Ming's instructions and removing all possible concealed weapons.
Without her black thigh-high boots, Pei Xue revealed a pair of long, snow-white legs.
She looked at Lu Ming, her eyes filled with gentle affection, then slowly knelt down.
"Master... don't all men like women kneeling at their feet?"
"I'm kneeling before you now, hoping... no, begging you to take in your snow slave..."
Pei Xue's seductive voice and faint fragrance momentarily clouded Lu Ming's mind.
Snapping back to reality, Lu Ming raised an eyebrow. This Pei Xue knew how to handle men...
I didn't sense any killing intent from her.
So... is she genuinely defecting?
Pei Xue looked up at Lu Ming, smiling alluringly.
"Master... why aren't you saying anything..."
Pei Xue continued to kneel, slowly moving closer to Lu Ming, whispering, "Master... let your snow slave serve you..."
