Urban Seduction: Housewives Club Chapter 1859 - 0188: Passion at Sea 1

"Sigh!" Chu Kuo let out yet another heavy breath before saying, "I've said all that needs to be said. You must contemplate this carefully on your own."

Having finished his piece, he turned around and exited the villa.

The moment Chu Kuo departed, Chu Mo turned to Xu Yanran and spoke immediately, "Mom, I'm heading to my room first. Jin Er and Xiu Er need to be informed about this right away."

Grasping the gravity of the situation, Xu Yanran gave a firm nod. "Very well, go on."

Once she reached her room, Chu Mo didn't call Su Jin Er and Su Xiu Er immediately. Instead, her first call was to Wang Yue.

"Sis Mo Mo, do you miss me already so soon after we said goodbye?" Wang Yue’s laughter echoed through the device shortly after the call connected.

"Quit playing around. I have something of extreme importance to share," Chu Mo replied, in no mood for playful banter. She proceeded to recount her father’s warnings word for word.

To Chu Mo's surprise, Wang Yue’s voice remained perfectly composed. "Don't fret, it’s fine. Even if representatives from Tianhai come, it will take a month at the very least. Besides, I wouldn't be afraid even if they showed up this instant."

"I'm telling you, stop joking!" Chu Mo said with rising urgency. "That is the might of Tianhai. They might dispatch experts at the peak of the Tianyuan realm, or perhaps even those of the Guizhen realm. Is there anyone in Jinling who could possibly oppose them?"

"Is the Guizhen realm truly so formidable? I happen to be at that level too," Wang Yue remarked with a chuckle.

"You are in the Guizhen realm?" Chu Mo was nearly driven to laughter by his claim. "If you keep teasing me, I am going to be truly furious."

"Sis Mo Mo, I am not teasing you. I have indeed reached the Guizhen realm, specifically the peak of the third layer. I'm on the verge of breaking through to the fourth. Within a month, I might even step into the Deguan realm. Do you really think the power of Tianhai is something I need to fear?" Wang Yue’s voice turned grave. "However, keep this between us. Do not reveal this to anyone else."

Detecting the sincerity in Wang Yue’s tone, Chu Mo realized he wasn't lying. She was completely stunned.

The Guizhen realm... Such a possibility had never even crossed her mind. In the entirety of Jinling, the strongest acknowledged figures were, at most, at the peak of the Tianyuan realm.

While rumors persisted of Guizhen realm experts living as recluses within Jinling, they remained nothing more than unverified tales. No one could prove their existence.

Yet now, a Guizhen realm expert had actually appeared... and he was a mere fifteen-year-old boy. If she weren't so mentally sharp, Chu Mo would have assumed she was trapped in a dream.

No... even in her wildest dreams, she wouldn't have dared to imagine such a thing.

Still reeling from the shock, Chu Mo ended the call with Wang Yue and promptly contacted Su Jin Er and her sister.

Despite Wang Yue’s serious tone, Chu Mo couldn't bring herself to fully believe it until the Su sisters confirmed the news.

The Guizhen realm... Wang Yue was truly a Guizhen realm master, and he even expected to reach the Deguan realm in a single month. What kind of monster was he?

And a monster like that... was trying to woo her.

In the martial arts world, strength reigned supreme. Chu Mo was not immune to this reality, and she felt a surge of intense excitement.

Meanwhile, after hanging up with Chu Mo, a frown creased Wang Yue’s brow.

The so-called "great power of Tianhai" meant nothing to him. What truly troubled him was why these events had never occurred in his previous life.

Had Tianhai truly interfered with Jinling in his past life, the three great families would have suffered immensely, and he certainly would have heard of it.

Thus, he was certain this was a new development.

Was this a butterfly effect caused by his reincarnation, or was there another factor at play?

The deeper he looked into the affairs of Jinling, the more enigmatic they became. It felt as though an unseen hand was pulling the strings from the shadows.

However, while his personal strength was formidable, his limitations in knowledge and networking meant he hadn't yet moved beyond the boundaries of Jinling. Consequently, he remained unable to grasp the full picture of this force influencing the region and beyond.

"One cannot see the true shape of Mount Lu because one is standing right in the middle of it."

Still, Wang Yue wasn't overly concerned, as his Cultivation was advancing at a staggering pace. Even if that "hidden hand" meant harm to the three great families of Jinling, he believed he would have the power to shatter it long before it could strike.

Over the following days, Wang Yue made a point to visit Chu Mo daily.

Since he was pursuing her, he had to play the part of a suitor, though he always brought his two cousins along for the ride. Whether he was courting one girl or all three simultaneously was a secret known only to him.

Su Jiaojiao had stopped tagging along. Her fascination with Wang Yue had been fleeting; once her initial curiosity was satisfied, she simply moved on.

Chen Xi also remained absent. She had decided to let the relationship between Wang Yue and Chu Mo take its own course. Her current focus was entirely on her martial arts training, hoping to one day reach a level where she could train alongside Wang Yue without being a burden.

Through these daily interactions, the bond between Wang Yue and Chu Mo flourished. Unfortunately, he played the role of the "naive boy," and while Chu Mo was lively and liked to tease, she was quite traditional regarding romance.

Consequently, their physical intimacy was restricted to holding hands and light kisses on the cheek. Incidentally, Wang Yue frequently held his cousins' hands and kissed their stunning faces as well. His progress with his cousins was effectively keeping pace with his progress with his girlfriend.

In terms of their affection for him, Su Jin’er and Su Xiu’er were just as smitten as Chu Mo; they simply lacked the courage to say so.

Wang Yue also checked in on Li Yingying, only to discover she had begun martial arts training under her employer, the respected Yu Yan. She was currently preoccupied with building a Foundation Establishment level of skill and had time for little else.

With no news from the Zhang family, Wang Yue delayed taking action against them. He chose to wait for the situation with the Tianhai family to unfold first.

This was a "long line to catch a big fish" tactic—it would serve as a test for his theories about the hidden forces looming over Jinling.

A few days later, Su Mengqing completed her preparations for their trip. Early that morning, Wang Yue took the wheel of a twelve-seater business van.

He had no other choice; a smaller car couldn't hold everyone. The group consisted of eleven stunning women: Xue Yan and her daughter Wang Yaru; Chen Rong, Wang Xin, and Wang Yue; Tang Yuerou and her daughter Wang Jingjing; Wang Qianqian and Wang Shanshan; his young cousin Wang Zhiting; and Wang Xin’er.

As for the rest of the Wang family, Liu Ruoshi felt too old for such outings; Su Mengyan and Huang Yuxiang preferred their tranquility; and Liu Xinru stayed behind to manage the household's internal affairs.
