Urban Seduction: Housewives Club Chapter 1992: 321: Mysterious Power 1
Previously on Urban Seduction: Housewives Club...
The accumulation of Yuan Yin energy accelerates as a woman’s Cultivation level rises. The more time spent in dedicated practice, the greater the reserves of energy she develops.
While the Yuan Yin energy generated through active Cultivation isn't quite as refined as the essence naturally created by the female body, its potency remains quite significant.
However, the most pristine form of Yuan Yin energy can only be gathered gradually over the years. In this regard, powerful warriors do not possess an advantage in accumulation speed over ordinary people.
Regardless, even if a partner is a commoner, the initial session of dual practice will yield impressive results. Furthermore, the older the partner, the more substantial the benefits tend to be.
A complication exists, however: unlike warriors, ordinary people cannot maintain their youthful vitality indefinitely. If a partner is too advanced in age, Wang Yue would find it impossible to engage with them.
Because Wang Yue had arrived ahead of schedule, the clock had only just struck seven in the morning.
Rather than slipping away in secret, Wang Yue walked out in the open alongside his aunt, making their way toward his grandmother’s residence.
In contrast to the sprawling Wang clan, the Su family was currently comprised of only seven members, and one of them, Su Mengqing, was rarely found staying at the house.
Due to their small numbers, it had become a long-standing tradition for the family to gather for breakfast every morning.
Shortly after departing, the pair ran into Su Mengqing. Because of the recent turmoil, she had not returned to the Adventurers Association since her arrival the previous day.
“Yue, what brings you here?” Su Mengqing looked at Wang Yue with a mix of shock and joy. Her affection and dependence on him were growing by the day. Despite their brief time apart, her longing for him was so intense she wanted to pull him into a hug right then and there.
However, with her elder sister standing right there, she was forced to suppress her impulses.
In truth, Su Mengqing was merely feeling a bit self-conscious. It was perfectly natural for an aunt to embrace her nephew, and such a gesture wouldn't normally raise any eyebrows.
Observing her younger sister’s hesitation, Su Mengyun let out a chuckle. “Oh, stop putting on an act.”
Su Mengqing blinked in surprise and asked, “What act am I putting on?”
“Pretending to be so reserved,” Su Mengyun teased with a smirk. “You’ve already shared those moments with him so many times. Why act shy about a simple hug now?”
“Huh?” Stunned, Su Mengqing looked between her smiling elder sister and Wang Yue. The realization hit her instantly.
Su Mengyun went on, “I’ve always looked out for you. Yet, you kept such a wonderful experience all to yourself. You really are quite selfish.”
Ignoring the playful jabs, Su Mengqing wrapped her arms tightly around Wang Yue, making no effort to hide her devotion. She remarked, “Impressive work, kid. You managed to get what you wanted so quickly.”
Wang Yue laughed as he stroked his aunt’s back. “It wasn't me seeking anything out. It was my aunt. She was the one who took the initiative today.”
“Is she really that bold?” Su Mengqing looked at her sister, her eyes wide with amazement.
Su Mengyun felt a flush of embarrassment and threw a sharp look at Wang Yue. “This brat is to blame. He had a scheme ready but kept us in the dark, leaving everyone in a state of panic. I even felt compelled to take drastic measures to sharpen my skills before the fight…”
“I knew there was a plan. I figured as much yesterday,” Su Mengqing said with a proud air. “Luckily, I didn't say anything at the time.”
“Then why didn’t you share it with us?” Su Mengyun grumbled. “You let everyone worry themselves sick.”
“If I had told you, would you have still tried to 'trick' our Yue?” Su Mengqing laughed. “Even if you hadn't, he would have found his way eventually. It just would have taken longer. So, in a sense, I allowed you to experience our nephew’s ‘special gift’ much sooner. Instead of being grateful, you’re blaming me?”
Su Mengyun was flustered by her sister’s bluntness. She snapped back, “Is this actually a good thing? You make it sound like it’s something you truly crave.”
“Don’t you crave it?” Su Mengqing fought back a laugh and pretended to chide Wang Yue. “Yue, did you fail to show your aunt proper respect? If she didn't enjoy your ‘thing,’ it means her experience wasn't great enough.”
Since Su Mengyun’s first encounter with Wang Yue was still very recent, she lacked Su Mengqing’s casual attitude and blushed deeply at the teasing.
Wang Yue gave his aunt’s firm backside a playful pat and stepped out of the embrace. “Alright, that’s enough teasing your sister.”
Su Mengqing giggled. “What? Are you already favoring your new friend over the old one?”
“What new friend? I’m her sister,” Su Mengyun corrected her.
Su Mengqing smiled. “In the Su family, that’s true. But since we are both Yue’s women now, by the rules of our new arrangement, you should probably be calling me sister.”
Su Mengyun replied with annoyance, “If we’re going by that logic, do I have to start calling Jin and Xiu sisters as well?”
“Mom, what are you saying? Sisters?” A voice suddenly called out from behind them. It was the twin sisters, Su Jin and Su Xiu.
Su Mengyun froze. She knew her relationship with Wang Yue couldn't stay a secret from her daughters forever, but being discovered like this would be humiliating—especially since she had lectured them about this very topic the day before.
She pivoted quickly, saying, “It’s nothing. I was just giving this brat a piece of my mind.”
Su Jin and Su Xiu assumed their mother was scolding their cousin because of their own actions.
Su Jin spoke up rapidly, “Mom, we already told you. It wasn't our brother's fault. We did it of our own accord.”
Su Xiu chimed in, “And look at the time. We should be focused on the threat from the Tianhai Zhang family. Everything else can wait.”
“That is exactly my point.” Having successfully misled her daughters, Su Mengyun breathed a sigh of relief. “This kid had a strategy the whole time but kept it to himself. He let everyone worry for no reason. Don’t you think he deserves a punishment?”
So that was the issue.
The twins relaxed and nodded in agreement. “He definitely deserves to be punished!”
As the mother and daughters moved on to other topics, Su Mengqing couldn't help but giggle behind her hand.
However, Wang Yue spoke up, “Actually, I kept the plan quiet on purpose.”
“For what reason?” the four women asked simultaneously.
“Don’t you see the potential here?” Wang Yue explained.
“In the past, our three great families held absolute power over Jinling. Every other group showed us nothing but respect. It was impossible to tell who was truly loyal and who was hiding a knife behind a smile. Now, we can use this crisis to see everyone's true colors.”
Hearing his explanation, the four women had to admit his logic was sound.
