Urban Seduction: Housewives Club Chapter 1978 - 307: The Jealous Mother 3

Xu Yanran pondered the situation silently. Amidst the swirling chaos of her thoughts, a sudden realization struck her: perhaps a future with Wang Yue wouldn't be such a terrible fate after all.

"Mom, don't you think I'm a virtuous daughter?" Chu Mo inquired, a playful grin dancing on her lips.

"You certainly are, but what's the reason for bringing that up out of the blue?" Xu Yanran questioned.

"I'm referring to the present moment. Just imagine—a daughter offering her boyfriend’s... unique talents to 'serve' her own mother... wouldn't that be considered the twenty-fifth form of filial piety?" Chu Mo let out a laugh.

"The more you talk, the more absurd you sound," Xu Yanran replied with a flash of irritation. "I have no desire for such things, and even if I did, it wouldn't change a thing. Have you forgotten my particular condition?"

"And if Wang Yue possessed the power to fix your problem? Would you be willing then?" Chu Mo pressed.

Xu Yanran felt her pulse quicken. Recalling the events of the previous night, she suspected that Wang Yue might truly have the power to affect her... without being drained by her in return.

However, unable to voice such thoughts, she remained stubborn. "That is simply impossible."

"Let's settle this with a wager," Chu Mo proposed. "We will have Wang Yue try one day. If he fails, I'll never mention this again. But if he succeeds, you must agree to become one of his women."

"I refuse to make such a bet with you," Xu Yanran snapped. She couldn't fathom how a daughter could encourage her mother to be intimate with her own boyfriend.

"Mom, I'm being completely serious," Chu Mo insisted, her expression turning grave. "Beyond providing a woman with unparalleled pleasure, Wang Yue holds a very unique ability: through sex, he can significantly boost the cultivation of both partners. I want to discover if he can help you transition into a martial artist."

Xu Yanran was stunned to her core. "Is that the truth?!"

"It's absolutely true. How else do you think I managed to shatter that door lock? To tell you the truth, I've already reached the Tianyuan realm," Chu Mo revealed. "Mom, if you can step onto the path of cultivation, we can stay together for a much longer time."

Those words struck a chord deep within Xu Yanran’s heart.

As a mere mortal, her body would eventually succumb to the ravages of time, regardless of how well she maintained herself.

Having spent her life practicing self-denial, she cared little for her fading beauty, but the thought of being parted from her daughter was unbearable.

Without becoming a martial artist, she would simply age and perish in a few decades like any commoner, leaving Chu Mo isolated in this world.

Sold by the Xu family as a mere pawn for a marriage alliance, she had found no bond with Chu Kuo upon entering the Chu family. Her daughter, Chu Mo, was her only source of comfort.

Similarly, Chu Mo had never been close to her father; she viewed her mother as her only true family.

The two of them had spent their lives relying solely on one another for survival.

While Wang Yue had entered their lives, his reputation for being a playboy was well-known. With a dozen women already and potentially hundreds more in the future, would their daughter truly receive the devotion she deserved?

Weighing these factors, Xu Yanran finally gave a slow nod. "Very well, Mom agrees."

Delighted that she had won her mother over, Chu Mo’s mood brightened instantly. "That's the spirit! Believe me, once you try it, even if you don't find a deep connection with him, you will definitely fall in love with the sensation of being with him."

"Cease this nonsense! I only want to become a warrior so I can look after you for longer, not for... those sorts of things," Xu Yanran stammered, her face flushing crimson.

Chu Mo merely smiled in silence. Her mother could act tough for now, but once she experienced his prowess, her resolve would surely melt away.

While Wang Yue was making his way back to the Wang manor, Liu Ruoshi and Liu Xinru were engaged in a somber conversation in the main residence.

"Grandmother, can we trust this report?" Liu Xinru asked, her voice heavy.

Liu Ruoshi nodded gravely. "The information came directly from Shen Grandma of the Chen family, who received it from the Tianhai Hua family. Its reliability is beyond doubt."

She proceeded to detail the connection between Shen Siying and the Hua family of Tianhai for Liu Xinru.

Rather than being shocked, Liu Xinru was consumed by anxiety upon hearing the details.

The intelligence from Shen Siying was terrifying: as a consequence of Wang Yue defeating Zhang Lingfeng, the Zhang family of Tianhai had dispatched a powerhouse from the Degenerate Mortal Realm. This master was expected to reach Jinling by tomorrow morning.

"Grandmother, what is our plan?" Liu Xinru felt helpless. "Yue is powerful, but can he truly stand against someone from the Degenerate Mortal Realm?"

"He likely cannot," Liu Ruoshi admitted with a nod. "Which means we must be prepared to fight to the bitter end."

"But that's a suicide mission," Liu Xinru argued. "Since Shen Grandma has ties to the Tianhai Hua family, could we not seek their protection?"

Liu Ruoshi let out a bitter smile and shook her head. "It's a lost cause. The Hua family views the three great families of Jinling as insignificant. They told Shen Grandma to go into hiding; they have no intention of intervening."

"Should we summon Yue to brainstorm a solution?" Liu Xinru suggested.

Liu Ruoshi sighed after a moment of reflection. "No. We should keep this between us. Yue is still recovering from the shock of the last incident; let him enjoy one final night of peace."

Liu Xinru was aware that Wang Yue's 'shock' was a fabrication, yet she agreed with the sentiment.

An expert of the Degenerate Mortal Realm was an unstoppable force. Warning Wang Yue would likely only burden him without providing any real advantage.

The idea of fleeing Jinling and relocating the entire clan was never even considered.

Against an entity as formidable as the Tianhai Zhang family, there was nowhere to run. Furthermore, since Wang Yue had beaten their heir, their quest for vengeance was considered a private matter; even the Warriors’ Alliance would not interfere.

They would never sacrifice Wang Yue to save themselves. They would choose total annihilation over such a betrayal.

They resolved to keep Wang Yue in the dark, fearing he might do something reckless if he knew the truth.

Wang Yue was their most beloved person. They would rather perish alongside him than give him up.

By tomorrow, the three prominent families of Jinling might be wiped from existence.

The two women sighed in unison, their gazes drifting toward the direction of Tianhai. It felt as though a massive, dark shadow was rapidly descending upon them.

At that very moment, the Zhang family’s flying vessel had nearly completed its journey, drawing close to Jinling.

The second patriarch of the Zhang family was preoccupied with thoughts of the legendary beauties within Jinling's three great families. The rumors of the most beautiful woman in history fueled his burning impatience.

He repeatedly demanded the vessel maintain maximum velocity. At this pace, they would arrive by midnight, far ahead of schedule.

"Second Patriarch, we've lost the navigation signal. There appears to be a powerful jamming field in this sector!" a Tianyuan Realm warrior reported.

The second patriarch frowned. Such a device in a desolate area usually indicated a secret operation or a hidden treasure.

However, blinded by his own desires, he brushed the concern aside. "Ignore it. Keep the engines at full throttle. We move forward."
