Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1235: Chapter 1235: The Women’s Decision

Seeing all eyes on her, Liu Yiru, who had already decided to stabilize her son’s harem, didn’t hesitate.

She made her decision directly, ”Let’s go with what you’ve discussed—abandon the political arena for now, let the military situation play out, focus on steady development in the business world, and have the gang leave Longguo to lie low for a while.”

Only a few of the more perceptive and mature women understood Liu Yiru’s decision. Most were puzzled. After all, among them were numerous top-tier experts.

Even just the women seated there had strengths that dwarfed those of the super-great sects.

Especially those who had lived with Ye Fei in the valley for seven years—except for someone on Wang Yueryao’s level, they could take on any powerful guardian.

Moreover, Ye Fei controlled a vast number of artificially enhanced experts who were loyal to him.

While there were fewer in the country, it was easy to forget that every single man in the entire island nation had become such an enhanced expert, tens of millions of them.

With that kind of power, it would be no small feat to conquer the world. Why should they fear a mere Qi family?

So, Ye Yunying was the first to speak up: ”Mom, it’s just the Qi family. We could take them out in a heartbeat.”

”Right, let me handle it,” Ye Zhelin quickly chimed in. She was always one to stir up trouble.

Liu Yiru smiled gently and said, ”We are women. Fighting and killing are men’s business. Let’s wait for our man to come back and let him deal with it.”

Hearing Liu Yiru’s words, the women who loved Ye Fei as deeply as she did immediately understood her reasoning.

If they resolved everything themselves, Ye Fei would feel less important when he returned. It would be better to leave this mess for him to come back and help his beloved women vent their frustrations, satisfying his protective instincts and traditional masculine ego.

It had to be said that these women truly loved Ye Fei, considering even his most subtle psychological changes. Thus, Liu Yiru’s decision was unanimously approved.

Then, Ye Siqi raised a more serious issue, ”Mom, now that your relationship with my brother has been exposed, public opinion is really against us. What should we do?”

”Exactly, there were even people marching today, saying things like ’Down with Ye Fei’ and ’Eliminate the terrorist organization Lingyun Society.’ Such ungrateful people!”

Ye Yunqi was very angry. It was understandable. Her brother had once been the guardian of the southeast, worshipped by countless people. Now, after just a few words of incitement, those people had forgotten his good deeds.

Liu Yiru didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she looked at Zhu Yuyan, not far away, and asked, ”Sister Yuyan, what do you think?” When it came to experience in handling affairs and a sense of the bigger picture, Zhu Yuyan was undoubtedly the best among the women.

The only exception was in front of her daughter, where she couldn’t quite let go and dared not reveal her relationship with her apprentice.

Today, Jiang Manjun had gone with her fellow disciples for routine practice and didn’t attend this meeting, so asking her was the best choice.

Zhu Yuyan smiled faintly and said, ”Let them be. The more we try to clarify things, the more they’ll push their luck. It’s better to just wait and see.”

Liu Yiru nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, ”Not only that, but we should also hire some ghostwriters to post about Xiaoman and all of you online. Make it as scandalous as possible. In this era, there are still plenty of self-proclaimed wise people who will help us debunk the rumors.”

”Right, let’s do that. We should also attack the Lingyun Society, making those people think they drove them away. Just wait and see their faces when the southeast falls into chaos later,” Ye Xuan said, her stunningly beautiful face wearing a devilish smile.

Don’t be fooled by her gentle and obedient demeanor in front of Ye Fei. That was simply because she had given all decision-making power to her beloved man.

If left to her own devices, she would be a complete female tyrant.

Thus, the general tone before Ye Fei’s return was set, with the women discussing and contributing their ideas.

...

Meanwhile, in another world, in that nameless valley, it had been over a day since the first bolt of heavenly thunder struck.

The thunder, striking every half minute, had not stopped for a moment, hitting Ye Fei three thousand five hundred and one times, and still counting.

During this time, Ye Fei had thought about dodging, but it was useless.

No matter where he ran, the lightning from the sky would always strike him accurately. So, after a while, Ye Fei simply stopped dodging. He focused on using his energy to withstand the pleasurable sensation of the heavenly thunder while pondering the origin of the thunder and even idly counting the number of times he had been struck.

In this day and a half, Ye Fei had roughly guessed that the world he had come to, unintentionally while fighting with his grandmother, was likely the cultivation realm, the world where Li Canghai and Jia Jingwen had originally lived.

If that was the case, then the heavenly thunder made sense—it was the legendary thunder tribulation. However, it was a bit different from what was written in novels. The number of strikes was just too high.

It turned out that Ye Fei’s guess was completely correct. The world he and Wang Yueryao had entered was indeed the cultivation realm, and the valley they were in was the famous ”Heavenly Thunder Valley” in the cultivation world.

In this cultivation realm, the strength levels from lowest to highest were body training, energy condensation, core formation, embryo nurturing, spirit transformation, and great multiplication.

Unlike in novels, here, one did not become an immortal after the great multiplication stage by undergoing a tribulation. Instead, the tribulation occurred before the great multiplication stage.

In other words, the strongest here was the great multiplication stage, with no concept of ascending to the immortal realm.

Every peak spirit transformation expert had the choice to undergo the heavenly tribulation when entering the great multiplication stage.

Those who successfully passed the tribulation were far stronger than those who did not.

However, undergoing the tribulation was extremely dangerous. Since the beginning of the cultivation realm, very few had managed to pass it.

The Heavenly Thunder Valley was the place in the entire cultivation realm where heavenly tribulations were most easily triggered.

As long as one could successfully pass the tribulation, they could use the great multiplication stage’s true energy to break through the heavenly pressure above the valley and escape from here.

However, even successful great multiplication experts who had passed the heavenly tribulation would be astonished by Ye Fei’s situation. Almost all tribulation crossers only needed to endure ninety-nine bolts of lightning to succeed.

Only legendary great demon lords had increased numbers and power of lightning tribulations, and all those demon lords had been annihilated by the tribulation.

Yet, Ye Fei had endured over three thousand bolts, and it still hadn’t ended. What kind of heinous deeds must he have done, and how terrifyingly strong must he be?
