Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 578: The Number One Beauty of the Martial World

”Hey, the match isnʼt over yet! Donʼt stop!” Some in the audience who hadnʼt had their fill of the spectacle immediately shouted. Of course, they all knew Jiang Manjun was no match for Ye Zhilin, but they were reluctant to miss such a beautiful duel between two stunning women.

Ye Zhilin, with her innocent and straightforward nature, wasnʼt the least bit intimidated by the large crowd. She gave Jiang Manjun a look, signaling her to step down first, then turned to the shouting audience and said, ”Alright then, Iʼm here. Who wants to come up and fight me?”

The moment she said this, the crowd fell silent. Go up and fight her? Thatʼs just asking for a beating! While Ye Zhilin had held back during her match with Jiang Manjun, she certainly wouldnʼt do the same for others. With her strength surpassing even the Great Perfection monk, who would be foolish enough to step up and get humiliated?

Seeing that no one dared to take her challenge, Ye Zhilin smiled triumphantly and said, ”Since no oneʼs coming up, Iʼll be heading down now!”

”Wait, you canʼt leave!” Just as Ye Zhilin was about to step off the stage, a voice rang out from the edge of the crowd. Everyone turned to see a handsome young man walking briskly toward the stage, accompanied by two attendants and a strikingly beautiful girl in white.

Seeing the girl, Ye Fei and Liu Yiru exchanged a glance. Isnʼt that Bai Youʼer, the one whoʼs close to Xu Zhiyun? Why is she with Lu Feng? Could she be the so-called guardian of the Tianshan Mountains? But if thatʼs the case, the guardianʼs strength seems rather underwhelming.

As the mother and son pondered this, Lu Feng made his way through the crowd and onto the stage. He glared at Ye Zhilin and asked fiercely, ”Little girl, remember me?”

”Of course I do. Youʼre the guy Ye Fei slapped until you cried, right?” Ye Zhilin said, blinking her big eyes innocently. Then she added with a curious tone, ”Huh, how did your face stop swelling so quickly? Did you use some miracle medicine?”

”You...” Lu Feng hadnʼt expected Ye Zhilin to immediately bring up his humiliation. Already furious, he pointed at her and shouted, ”Donʼt get cocky! Iʼll make you beg for mercy later!”

”Enough of this pointless bickering,” Bai Youʼer suddenly interjected. She, like her master, found Lu Fengʼs arrogance distasteful. However, her masterʼs close friendship with Lu Fengʼs mother forced her to intervene, much to her annoyance.

”Youʼre right. If you keep talking nonsense, Iʼll have Ye Fei come up and make you cry again!” Ye Zhilin threatened Lu Feng, then turned to Bai Youʼer and asked, ”Are you the backup he called for?”

”Backup isnʼt the right word,” Bai Youʼer replied with a faint smile. ”But youʼve slandered our guardian and injured someone. We canʼt just let this go, can we?”

”When did I slander you? I was just making a joke. Are your so-called guardians so tyrannical that they canʼt even take a joke?” Ye Zhilin retorted, clearly annoyed.

From the beginning, Bai Youʼer had known that Lu Fengʼs claims of slander and the exaggerated stories were just that—exaggerations. But since he had been humiliated in her territory, and out of respect for her masterʼs friendship with his mother, she had no choice but to intervene. She said, ”Letʼs put that aside for now. But you did injure someone. Shouldnʼt you give us an explanation?”

”And what kind of explanation do you want?” Ye Zhilin asked, finding Bai Youʼer much more reasonable than Lu Feng. She couldnʼt help but feel a sense of goodwill toward the girl.

Bai Youʼer, not wanting to escalate the situation, thought for a moment and said, ”How about this? You apologize to Lu Feng, and weʼll consider the matter settled.”

Ye Zhilin glanced subtly at Ye Fei, who gave her a slight nod and a reassuring smile, signaling her to go along with it. She then turned to Lu Feng and said, ”Alright, Iʼll give her this one. Iʼm sorry for earlier. I didnʼt mean to offend you.”

”An apology isnʼt enough!” Lu Feng stubbornly refused to let it go. ”You hit me, and now you think a simple ʼsorryʼ will make it all better?”

Bai Youʼer felt a wave of disgust. Ye Zhilin had apologized out of respect for her, but Lu Feng was acting as if he deserved it. She asked, ”Then what do you want?”

”I want that kid who hit me to come up here and kneel in apology!” Lu Feng snarled. He had never been slapped in his life, and he was determined to get his revenge.

Before Bai Youʼer could respond, Ye Zhilin suddenly kicked Lu Feng off the stage with a swift motion. She huffed, ”You want my Ye Fei to kneel to you? Are you asking for death?”

Bai Youʼer was taken aback by Ye Zhilinʼs sudden move. She hadnʼt expected the girl to act so decisively. She couldnʼt help but wonder who this ”Ye Fei” was, the one Ye Zhilin was so fiercely protective of. But with the crowd so dense, Bai Youʼer couldnʼt immediately spot him.

With a wry smile, Bai Youʼer said, ”Miss, you shouldnʼt have hit him. We could have talked this out.”

”Talked it out?” Ye Zhilin snorted. ”So you wanted my Ye Fei to kneel and apologize?”

Seeing Ye Zhilinʼs refusal to back down, Bai Youʼerʼs patience wore thin. Her expression darkened as she said, ”In that case, Iʼll have to test your skills myself!”

”Bring it on! Iʼm not afraid of you!” Ye Zhilin shot back. While she had initially felt some goodwill toward Bai Youʼer, the girlʼs repeated defense of Lu Feng had soured her mood.

With no further words, the two girls quickly engaged in combat. Ye Fei noticed that the guardianʼs techniques were indeed impressive. While Bai Youʼerʼs strength couldnʼt match Ye Zhilinʼs, she was able to hold her own, thanks to the spiritual energy of the Tianshan Mountains. However, Ye Fei wasnʼt worried. Even with the boost from the mountainʼs energy, Bai Youʼer was still no match for Ye Zhilin. If the fight continued, Bai Youʼer would inevitably lose.

Ye Fei could see this, and Bai Youʼer, who was directly involved in the fight, also realized it. She couldnʼt help but feel a sense of awe. Where did this girl come from? How does she have such incredible strength? She had thought the boy sheʼd encountered earlier was already a rare talent, but now it seemed this girl was just as formidable.

Meanwhile, the audience was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle. Once again, two stunning beauties were dueling, and one of them was the legendary guardian. This was a rare treat, and they felt their trip to the martial arts conference was well worth it.

Though both girls were initially annoyed, they harbored no real malice toward each other. As the fight progressed, they even began to develop a mutual respect. By the time they had exchanged hundreds of moves, the duel had turned into a friendly spar.

After another hundred moves, Bai Youʼer, despite the support of the Tianshanʼs spiritual energy, began to falter under Ye Zhilinʼs seemingly endless internal power. After another clash of palms, Bai Youʼer gracefully retreated a few steps and said, ”Your skills are truly remarkable. I admit defeat.”

Ye Zhilin stopped as well and asked, ”So, are you still going to stand up for that annoying guy?”

Bai Youʼer smiled faintly. ”Iʼve lost. I have no right to intervene anymore. Letʼs consider this matter settled.”

”Not so fast!” Lu Feng, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly shouted. ”Call Aunt Bai! This isnʼt over yet!”

Bai Youʼer, already fed up with Lu Feng, frowned and said, ”If you want to call her, do it yourself. I wonʼt disturb my master.”

Lu Feng shot her a venomous glare and growled, ”Donʼt think I canʼt handle this without you!” With that, he pulled out what looked like a firework and, before Bai Youʼer could stop him, lit the fuse.

With a soft whoosh, a flaming projectile shot into the sky, rising hundreds of meters before exploding into a dazzling white snow lotus pattern.
