Urban Seduction: Housewives Club Chapter 1998 - 327: Family Feast 3

Previously on Urban Seduction: Housewives Club...
Relief spreads through the Su and Wang families as the immediate threat from Tianhai seems to have been neutralized by a mysterious force. To celebrate this reprieve and project strength to their rivals, Liu Ruoshi organizes a rare public family outing through the city. The event is marked by a significant milestone when Su Mengyan agrees to leave the estate for the first time in sixteen years, signaling a softening of her icy exterior. While the women enjoy the excursion, their relaxed presence serves as a psychological blow to the Zhang family and their anxious allies, who are now left without the expected support from their powerful backers.

A collective sigh of relief escaped from the neutral factions. They harbored no desire to witness the Zhang family’s ascent to power, which is why they refused to side with them even at this critical juncture.

While they hadn't aligned themselves with the three major families either, they would undoubtedly be the primary candidates for cooperation should those families seek allies in the future.

Naturally, such a position promised them significant advantages.

In contrast to these martial forces, some of whom were flourishing while others were disgruntled, the common citizens of Jinling were treated to a magnificent visual spectacle.

Public rumors often spoke of the numerous beauties within the three major families, yet only a select few were truly famous, such as the Su family's Su Mengyun, the Wang family's Liu Xinru, and Ling Xueyan from the Chen family, who managed external business.

A great number of other stunning women maintained a low profile; the average person had never even laid eyes on their photographs.

However, seventeen breathtaking women from the Wang family made a public appearance together today.

From the mature to the youthful, every single one of them possessed heart-stopping beauty. Even more extraordinary was the chance to witness Su Mengyan, the woman hailed as "the most beautiful of all time."

One might assume that beauties like Su Mengqing and Su Mengyun represented the absolute peak of human aesthetics, but it was only upon seeing Su Mengyan that one understood the true meaning of beauty.

Her appearance defied verbal description; the sixteen other celestial maidens from the Wang family seemed to fade in her presence, resembling mere stars eclipsed by a radiant moon.

Su Mengyan’s grace went beyond human understanding. Men who gazed upon her, regardless of how debauched their nature, felt no urge to defile her; instead, they were overcome by a desire to offer worship.

Su Mengyun was celebrated as the "Queen of Jinling," possessing an aura and poise that compelled many to kneel before her.

Yet, if Su Mengyan wished for such devotion, she could command it effortlessly through her looks alone.

Fortunately, Su Mengyan remained largely indifferent to the world around her, caring little for the opinions of others, save for a precious few.

Had it been otherwise, the sheer level of attention she garnered today would have likely overwhelmed her, considering how rarely she ventured out.

Even so, Wang Yue found the scrutiny irritating. Consequently, he released a subtle ripple of mental energy characteristic of a ninth-level expert in the Gui Zhen Realm.

Though it was a mere fraction of his power, it sufficed to instill a sense of dread and oppression in the onlookers. The surrounding area fell into a sudden, respectful silence as a result.

The group of ladies continued their stroll from midday until dusk, eventually heading back while still in high spirits.

Every woman had purchased various trinkets, and neither Su Mengyan nor Liu Ruoshi were exceptions to this.

It appears to be an inherent trait of women. Despite the Wang family lacking for nothing—and the fact that these items could easily be replaced by far superior ones—they bought them anyway. Most of these things would likely be cast aside and forgotten once they returned home. Nevertheless, they simply cherished the experience.

While eighteen of them had set out, nineteen returned to the estate.

Having learned from Wang Xin’er that Su Mengyan had finally gone shopping after a long absence, Su Mengqing had rushed over to join them.

Throughout the entire afternoon, these two stunning women—whose bond was becoming increasingly intimate—exchanged private whispers. The contents of their conversation remained a mystery.

Once home, Su Mengqing invited Xue Yan, Liu Ruoshi, Wang Yaru, Wang Yalan, and Wang Yaning to Su Mengyan’s residence.

It is unclear what Su Mengqing told the rest of the group, but none of them made an appearance.

"Auntie, what exactly are you planning?" Wang Yue seized a moment to whisper his question.

"You are moving far too slowly. Xin and I have decided to give you a hand," Su Mengqing replied with a playful smile. "But you must follow my lead completely later on."

Wang Yue felt a surge of excitement. Within the household, every woman he had yet to seduce was present, with the exception of his niece Wang Jingjing and Third Aunt Huang Yuxiang.

Wang Jingjing was still too young for such things. As for Third Aunt, her intellect was too formidable, requiring a more calculated approach later. However, the women currently gathered were perfect targets.

Having lost much of his moral restraint, Wang Yue had long harbored desires for his grandmother and his two aunts, yet the perfect opening had always eluded him.

Now that his Auntie and Xin were providing this opportunity, he had no intention of letting it slip away.

Acting on his Auntie’s suggestion, he retrieved several jars of "Fairy Drunk" from his spatial ring. This concoction was incredibly effective, and he resolved to acquire more if the chance arose.

He gave orders for the maids to set up a feast before dismissing them, leaving only the family members behind.

"Allow me to start with a toast to everyone," Su Mengqing announced, lifting her glass. "Seeing my sister like this brings me such joy, and it is all thanks to your support."

"There is no need for that, Mengqing. We are family, after all," Liu Ruoshi responded. She found Su Mengyan’s sudden social integration curious, but since it was a positive change, she didn't question it.

Soon, the women each took the small flasks placed before them, poured a drink, and joined Su Mengqing’s toast.

The wine had been diluted because Wang Yue had carefully calibrated the strength of the "Immortal Wine" to match the various Cultivation levels of the women.

Had he not done so, the two women with the lowest Cultivation would likely have collapsed after a single cup.

Thanks to his adjustments, the women felt the effects of the wine without being immediately incapacitated by drunkenness.

As the evening progressed, they ate and spoke, sipping the wine periodically. The mood was exceptionally light, and even Su Mengyan wore a soft, constant smile.

She was aware of her son's wish for her to reclaim her original personality. While such a transformation wouldn't happen overnight, she was making an effort. Furthermore, being in the company of those she held dear made her feel significantly more at ease.

After several rounds of drinks, a slight intoxication began to settle over the women. Wang Yue took this moment to subtly release his genuine energy, bit by bit, to stir their inner desires.

Caught between the haze of the wine and the rising heat of their own cravings, they grew more animated, though they still remained conscious of their actions.
