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

Xu Yanran pondered the situation. Amidst the internal turmoil, the idea of actually being with Wang Yue suddenly didn't seem so terrible to her anymore.

"Mom, don't you think I'm a virtuous daughter?" Chu Mo asked with a playful grin.

"You are indeed, but why are you bringing that up out of nowhere?" Xu Yanran questioned.

"I’m referring to right now. Just think about it—a daughter offering her boyfriend’s... unique talents to 'serve' her own mother... wouldn't that be the ultimate form of filial piety? The twenty-fifth example, perhaps?" Chu Mo teased, laughing.

"The more you speak, the more absurd you sound," Xu Yanran replied with irritation. "I have no desire for such a thing, and even if I did, what would it change? You haven't forgotten my specific condition."

"But what if Wang Yue could actually fix your problem? Would you give your consent then?" Chu Mo pressed.

Xu Yanran’s heart skipped a beat. Recalling the events of the previous night, she wondered if Wang Yue truly possessed the power to influence her body... without being negatively affected by her himself.

Unable to admit this openly, she could only stubbornly retort, "That is simply impossible."

"Then let’s place a wager," Chu Mo proposed. "One day, we will let Wang Yue try. If he fails, I will 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 ever want her mother to share her boyfriend's bed.

"Mom, I am being completely serious," Chu Mo said, her expression turning grave. "Beyond providing a woman with unparalleled pleasure, Wang Yue possesses a very rare ability: through the act of sex, he can significantly boost the Cultivation of both partners. I want to see if he can help you finally become a martial artist."

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

"It is absolutely true. How else do you think I managed to break that door lock? To be honest, I have already reached the Tianyuan realm," Chu Mo revealed. "Mom, if you can become a martial artist, our time together will be extended by many years."

These words struck a chord deep within Xu Yanran’s soul.

As a mere mortal, no amount of self-care could halt the inevitable decay of her physical form.

Though she lived a life of quiet restraint and had little vanity regarding her looks, the thought of being parted from her daughter was unbearable.

Without becoming a martial artist, she would simply age and pass away in a few decades like any other commoner, leaving Chu Mo solitary in this world.

Having been treated as a mere pawn for a marriage alliance by the Xu family, she felt no bond with Chu Kuo upon entering the Chu household. Her daughter, Chu Mo, was her only true comfort.

Furthermore, her daughter had never been close to Chu Kuo; for her, Xu Yanran was her only real family.

The two of them truly only had each other to rely on for survival.

While Wang Yue had entered their lives, he was notoriously lecherous. With over a dozen women already and potentially hundreds more in the future, would he really continue to cherish their daughter?

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

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

"Stop that nonsense! Your mother only wants to become a warrior to look after you longer, not for... those types of things," Xu Yanran said, her face flushing crimson.

Chu Mo simply smiled, remaining silent. It didn't matter how much her mother protested now; once she experienced his prowess, her resolve would surely melt away.

Meanwhile, as Wang Yue drove back toward the Wang family estate, Liu Ruoshi and Liu Xinru sat across from each other in the main residence, their faces etched with gravity.

"Grandmother, is this intel certain?" Liu Xinru inquired.

Liu Ruoshi nodded solemnly. "The information came directly from the Chen family's Matriarch Shen, who received word from the Tianhai Hua family. It is beyond doubt."

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

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinru felt no surprise, only a growing sense of dread.

The update from Shen Siying was chilling: because Wang Yue had humiliated Zhang Lingfeng, the Tianhai Zhang family had dispatched a powerhouse from the Degenerate Mortal Realm. This expert was slated to reach Jinling by tomorrow morning.

"Grandmother, what is our plan?" Liu Xinru was panicked. "Even though Yue is exceptionally talented, he might not stand a chance against a master from the Degenerate Mortal Realm."

Liu Ruoshi nodded in agreement. "Indeed. It seems we have no choice but to fight to the bitter end."

"But that is suicide—like throwing eggs at a stone," Liu Xinru argued. "Since Matriarch Shen has ties to the Tianhai Hua family, could we seek their protection?"

Liu Ruoshi shook her head with a bitter smile. "That won't work. The Hua family views the three great families of Jinling as insignificant. They advised Matriarch Shen to go into hiding; they have no intention of intervening."

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

Liu Ruoshi paused, then sighed. "No. Let’s keep this between us for now. Yue is still 'recovering' from his recent ordeal; let him enjoy one last night of peace."

Liu Xinru was aware that Wang Yue's supposed trauma was a facade, yet she agreed with the sentiment.

A figure from the Degenerate Mortal Realm was an unstoppable force. Warning Wang Yue would likely only cause him unnecessary stress without changing the outcome.

The idea of fleeing Jinling and abandoning their legacy was never an option.

Against a titan like the Tianhai Zhang family, there was nowhere to run. Furthermore, since Wang Yue had struck down their heir, their quest for vengeance was considered a private matter; even the Warriors’ Alliance would not interfere.

They would never surrender Wang Yue to face their wrath. They would sooner see their entire clan wiped out than betray him.

They resolved to keep Wang Yue in the dark, fearing he might do something reckless and try to face the threat alone.

Wang Yue was their most beloved. They would rather perish alongside him than hand him over to save themselves.

By tomorrow, the era of the three major families of Jinling might come to a violent end.

The two women shared a heavy sigh, looking toward the horizon in the direction of Tianhai. It was as if they could see a massive, dark shadow looming over them.

At that very moment, the Zhang family’s flying vessel was already eating up the distance, nearing Jinling rapidly.

The Second Patriarch of the Zhang family was preoccupied with thoughts of the legendary beauties within the three families of Jinling—particularly the one rumored to be the most stunning woman of the era. The thought filled him with intense desire.

Because of this, he demanded the vessel maintain maximum velocity. At this pace, they would arrive by midnight, far ahead of their original schedule.

"Second Patriarch, our navigation has failed. There appears to be a powerful signal-interference field in this sector!" a Tianyuan Realm warrior reported.

The Second Patriarch frowned. A jamming field in such a desolate area usually suggested a hidden power or a buried treasure.

However, consumed by his lustful anticipation, he brushed the concerns aside. "Ignore it. Keep the engines at full throttle. Continue forward!"
