Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 11 Opportunity to Grow Stronger

Watching the hurried figure of the third sister as she ran out, Ye Fei felt a bit embarrassed, but more so nostalgic. The feeling of her soft hand holding his just now was really nice. Yes, the sensation of what he had placed in her hands earlier was also good, but unfortunately, it was just a fleeting experience.

Shaking his head, Ye Fei remembered Sis Siqiʼs words and decided not to dwell on these messy thoughts. After washing himself again, he left the bathroom. The third sister and the little sister were already not in their rooms. Ye Fei couldnʼt help but smile. Even this tomboyish third sister knew embarrassment; otherwise, she wouldnʼt have left.

However, it was better not to disturb them. Ye Fei pulled out a large box from the bedside table. Inside were some wires, metal plates, and many precision electronic components he had ordered at a high price online, all of which he had modified beyond recognition.

Skillfully assembling these items into a two-meter-long metal box, Ye Fei connected the power source and lay down inside.

He had made this thing half a year ago. At that time, he had heard that many countries had already begun research on virtual technology, which piqued his interest. He infiltrated the databases of all countries dedicated to this research, stole all their research results, and after comprehensive organization, he managed to create this thing before anyone else did. He even loaded an old game, ”Diablo,” into it. It wasnʼt that he didnʼt want to install more advanced games, but even though he had created this thing, his technology wasnʼt quite mature yet, and it took him a while to barely fit this one in.

In reality, Ye Feiʼs character wasnʼt as mild and gentle as he appeared on the surface. Despite being physically weak since childhood, he had a more intense violent factor than the average person. However, he was often faced with family and friends, and his body didnʼt allow him to reveal his other side.

Starting the game, Ye Fei began his journey. He chose the Barbarian profession, which not only matched his nickname but also because he enjoyed the feeling of powerful strikes. Feeling the infinite power within the virtual character, Ye Fei almost couldnʼt resist activating another device on the machine, but he ultimately restrained that impulse.

When he was gathering virtual data, he discovered that many countries were researching brain domain development. He thought it might be useful for himself, so he brought those things over as well. Like virtual technology, all the unfinished projects from others combined in his hands led to breakthrough progress. He found a way to use electric currents to stimulate the brain for brain domain development, and after analysis, he believed the chances of success were quite high.

However, this was different from virtual technology. If virtual technology failed, he would just be disappointed, but if this brain stimulation failed, it could potentially leave him as a fool at best, or even cost him his life.

Swinging two large swords in his hands, Ye Fei once again defeated the spider-like demon, Bal, and sat down, staring at his hands in a daze. He loved the feeling of being filled with power throughout his body. If he had this kind of power in reality, how wonderful would that be!

However, although Ye Fei was still a sixteen-year-old teenager, due to his poor health since childhood, he always thought more before acting compared to others of his age. He was much calmer. Thinking of his loving mother, Sis Siqi, Siyao, the third sister and little sister who, despite often teasing him, cared for him, and his aunts and uncles who treated him like a treasure, Ye Fei could restrain any impulse. If something happened to him, everyone would be upset, and even in an irrational state, a split between the Liu and Ye families wasnʼt impossible since the relationship between the two families wasnʼt great aside from Ye Fei being the link between them.

After controlling the virtual character for a while, Ye Fei emerged from the large box, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the stark contrast between the two bodies. He dismantled the box, turning it back into unidentifiable small parts. This was his secret, something he hadnʼt even told his closest little sister, knowing that what he did was illegal. Though he was confident no one could trace it back to him, there was always a possibility. He didnʼt want to pose even the slightest threat to the people he cared about.

After tidying up, Ye Fei sat back on the bed and began practicing the technique given by the old man. Compared to brain domain development, he preferred this technique as it didnʼt pose any danger.

Unfortunately, after trying for a long time, he still couldnʼt feel the so-called energy flow as before. However, there was a change today. Ye Fei noticed that, after his efforts, although there was no change inside his body, something below had hardened like an iron rod, even more intense than when the third sister had held his hand, making him a bit sore.

This change left Ye Fei at a loss. Giving up on his practice, he lay down and slapped that troublesome thing. However, he didnʼt connect this change with his practice of the technique, as he had practiced countless times before without any such change. He thought it was just his own improper thoughts.

Ye Fei sighed deeply and slowly drifted off to sleep. In his dream, he possessed the strength of a barbarian, wielding two swords, invincible in the world. Then, a beautiful woman was in his arms, and Ye Fei felt extremely proud. He lowered his head to kiss the woman in his embrace, but upon seeing her face clearly, he immediately woke up in shock.

By this time, the sky was already getting light. Ye Fei had lost all desire to sleep, sitting up and hugging his knees, lost in thought. He couldnʼt understand why the woman he held in his dream turned out to be her. In this world, all women could move on, but she couldnʼt, because her name was Liu Yiru, the one who had given birth to a pair of twins named Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi.

Ye Feiʼs heart was in turmoil. He couldnʼt forgive himself. His mother had always been the goddess in his heart, untouchable by anyone, not even himself, not even in a dream. That was absolutely forbidden! But why would he have such a dream? Was he hinting to himself, wanting to obtain that invincible power in the dream, just like obtaining her? Was it only a beautiful dream? Or was it that only by possessing such power would he be qualified to protect her?

This question lingered in Ye Feiʼs mind until he heard a knock on the door, but even then, he couldnʼt figure it out.
