Urban Seduction: Housewives Club Chapter 1994 - 323: Mysterious Power 3

"But have you ever witnessed a true heir or a youth with immense cultivation talent from a major clan getting married at such a tender age?" Chen Lingwei remarked, "Entering marriage prematurely is detrimental to one’s physical well-being. Typically, only those from influential families who lack any cultivation talent are compelled to marry early, solely to ensure the lineage continues as quickly as possible."

Su Jiaojiao let out a sigh, "Those clans are truly heartless. Isn't that just ruining people's lives?"

"It shouldn't be viewed as harm. Those with dismal cultivation talent will never progress, regardless of how hard they practice. It is actually better for them to wed early and embrace life's pleasures." Chen Lingwei gave a small smile. "In fact, they might even consider it a blessing."

"Is marriage nothing more than two people staying together?" Su Jiaojiao inquired. "How is that connected to enjoying life? Does it mean one cannot find joy without being married?"

Chen Lingwei was momentarily speechless, caught off guard by the question. How could she explain to her grandson that marriage provided the framework for the intimate bond between a husband and wife?

Suddenly, Su Mengyun spoke up, "We shouldn't generalize. It's possible that Wang Yue is exceptionally talented, meaning his young age won't be an obstacle at all."

Exceptionally talented?

Chen Lingwei instinctively stole a glance at Wang Yue, her heart fluttering slightly.

Naturally, she harbored no scandalous thoughts toward her grandson despite her daughter's remark. However, the suggestion did ignite a train of thought in her mind.

She was, after all, a woman—one who had reached full maturity long ago yet still possessed great physical vitality. She was not immune to the natural desires of a woman.

Yet, following the incidents of the past, a rift had formed between her and her husband, and he had not laid a finger on her since. Three decades had slipped away since then.

What becomes of a woman with healthy desires and a vibrant body when she lives without sexual intercourse for thirty years?

While she occasionally sought self-gratification, manual efforts were a poor substitute for the genuine experience.

Under normal circumstances, she suppressed such reflections. But today, the conversation between her daughter and granddaughter, paired with that phrase "exceptionally talented," sent her imagination racing.

At the same time, Wang Yuyao was also drowning in similar contemplations.

Just the day before, she had spent time with her cherished nephew. But after only three brief climaxes, she had been unable to satisfy him in the slightest. Now that the topic of practicing dual sexual techniques had surfaced again, her restlessness grew. When her aunt described Wang Yue’s prowess in an attempt to provoke her mother’s interest, Wang Yuyao felt she was reaching her limit.

Consequently, Wang Yuyao bolted through the rest of her breakfast. Grabbing Wang Yue by the arm, she turned to Chen Lingwei and said, "Mom, I need a private word with Yue. We'll be back in a bit."

She dragged him away without checking if he had finished his meal. "I'm coming too!" Su Jiaojiao shouted, jumping up to follow. She was well aware of her mother’s intentions for taking her cousin aside.

Having indulged too much the previous day, Su Jiaojiao wasn't hungry, but she was brimming with excitement. She possessed a visceral fascination with carnal matters. Even if she wasn't a participant, she found immense thrill in spectating, particularly when it involved her mother and her cousin.

Chen Lingwei, used to their energetic antics, didn't give the departure a second thought.

Su Mengyun then suggested, "Mom, I believe Jiaojiao is right. It is time for Yue to marry. Ideally, he should take several wives. He is, after all, the sole male heir among our three prominent families."

"Isn't it too soon? We should wait a few years," Chen Lingwei countered. Young men often struggle with restraint in such affairs. She worried that a single wife might not be enough, yet if he took many, he might spend his days and nights in debauchery. Such excess could ruin his Foundation in the martial arts.

"And if Yue truly possesses exceptional talent?" Su Mengyun asked with a playful grin. "Currently, our priority is building a bridge with the Chen family. If they consent, I intend to have both Jin Er and Xiu Er marry Yue."

"That is out of the question," Chen Lingwei said, her brow furrowing. "They are first cousins. What would become of their offspring if they wed?"

"Qing Luan might have a remedy for that," Su Mengqing chimed in. "She possesses knowledge regarding how to circumvent the risks of inbreeding.

However, as she is someone who has chosen never to marry, she hasn't explored the subject deeply. If the need arises, I can ask her to investigate further."

Su Mengqing was referring to Miao Qinglan, a member of the four elite physicians in Jinling.

The Miao family boasted a prestigious medical lineage and typically maintained a neutral, detached stance from worldly affairs.

Since Miao Qinglan had proven herself a medical genius, the family's prestige had climbed even higher.

Because of this neutrality, the Miao family avoided close alliances with other Sects or clans.

Nevertheless, Miao Qinglan and Su Mengqing shared a close bond.

Both women were committed to a life without marriage and found they had much in common.

As the president of the Jinling Adventurers Association, Su Mengqing dealt with the Miao family frequently.

The life of an adventurer is fraught with peril, and the severe injuries sustained often require the intervention of master physicians like those of the Miao family.

Su Jin Er and Su Xiu Er felt a wave of gratitude toward their mother and aunt.

They were being offered a legitimate path to be with him. Both mentally and physically, they were now utterly enamored with their cousin. They felt bound to him for eternity.

Previously, their status as cousins meant their trysts had to remain in the shadows.

But if the biological hurdles of inbreeding could be cleared, they could stand by their cousin's side in the light of day. Even if Chen Xi remained the primary wife, they would no longer live in fear of public scandal.

Chen Lingwei, who didn't hold a strong stance either way, eventually nodded to her daughters' reasoning. "We shall see how things unfold."

While the Su family debated Wang Yue’s marital future and the young man himself was busy Cultivation with his aunts, the Zhang family of Tianhai had convened an urgent meeting.

The assembly was similar to the previous day, with the addition of a white-haired Elder and a man of imposing middle-aged stature.

The Elder was the supreme patriarch of the Zhang family, a powerhouse at the middle stage of the Fifth Layer of the Degenerate Mortal Realm. Having survived for nearly three centuries, he was a living relic.

Given his Cultivation level, he could easily project a youthful image if he desired. He could have restored his prime in a heartbeat.

For reasons known only to him, he preferred to keep his aged appearance.

The middle-aged man was the third patriarch, a formidable expert at the late stage of the First Layer of the Degenerate Mortal Realm and the grandfather of the current head, Zhang Jianyuan.

In contrast to the previous day's nonchalance, a heavy atmosphere hung over the Zhang family, the two patriarchs included.

They had gathered because the second patriarch and his party, who were expected in Jinling this morning after departing yesterday, had vanished. All communication had been severed.

Their last known coordinates were near a small outpost under Zhang family jurisdiction.

Upon confirming their disappearance, Zhang Jianyuan had launched an immediate inquiry. The results had just arrived.

As the family head, Zhang Jianyuan took the floor: "Our investigation shows no evidence of combat within a thirty-mile radius of their last location. Yet, they remain unreachable. We face two scenarios: either they intentionally disabled their tracking and diverted elsewhere, or they crossed paths with a powerful entity and were captured or slain."

Though Zhang Jianyuan offered two theories, everyone in the room understood the first was a desperate hope. There was simply no reason for the second patriarch to go rogue.
