Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1375: Chapter 1375: The Empress’s Favor

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Fei killed Zhao Anguo, Zhao Zichen immediately glared at him, exclaiming in disbelief, ”You killed him?!”

”Yeah, so what? Do you think this kind of person doesn’t deserve to die?” Ye Fei casually took out a handkerchief from his spatial storage and wiped his hands, nonchalantly saying, ”Don’t tell me you don’t know the potential dangers of sparing him to the True Emptiness Realm. Since you couldn’t bring yourself to do it, I took the liberty.”

”But he is the only descendant of my Zhao lineage,” Zhao Zichen said, her emotions quite conflicted. The dangers Ye Fei spoke of were not lost on her; she simply couldn’t bear to see Zhao Anguo die.

Ye Fei smiled and said, ”Come on, stop making so many excuses. The real reason you didn’t kill him is that you’ve watched him grow up. No matter how he treats you, you just can’t bring yourself to be ruthless with him, right?” He had seen this parental mindset too many times, and it improved his impression of Zhao Zichen.

If she could kill Zhao Anguo without hesitation for the sake of justice, Ye Fei might have admired her, but he wouldn’t have felt any affection for her.

”...” Zhao Zichen didn’t respond, effectively acknowledging Ye Fei’s words.

”Although your actions are understandable, sparing this kind of person today will surely cause you more pain in the future,” Ye Fei continued.

”As for the continuation of your Zhao lineage, he’s not the only one. What about you? If you find a man and have children, won’t that continue the lineage just the same?”

Zhao Zichen fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, ”How about you become my man?”

Ye Fei was taken aback. He had encountered many women who pursued him, but he never expected Zhao Zichen to be one of them. Moreover, he could tell that she didn’t have feelings for him. He forced a smile and said, ”Don’t joke around!”

”I never joke with anyone!” Zhao Zichen said seriously.

”But I already have a wife, and not just one,” Ye Fei replied. Although Zhao Zichen’s qualifications were impeccable, especially her status as an empress, which was incredibly attractive to men, he couldn’t accept a woman who didn’t love him.

”That’s fine. I don’t know exactly how strong you are, but at least you’re not weaker than I. For a man like you, having multiple women is perfectly normal!” Zhao Zichen continued earnestly. ”Moreover, you’re the only man in these hundreds of years who has caught my eye. So, you’re the best candidate.”

Ye Fei helplessly slapped his forehead. ”So, am I to understand that if you meet a man stronger than me in the future, or someone else who catches your eye, you would also make him your man?”

”That’s correct,” Zhao Zichen nodded.

”I’m sorry, but I can’t accept a woman who wants to be with me just because of my strength, not because she loves me,” Ye Fei said coldly.

Listening to their conversation, everyone in the hall felt as if they were going mad, especially the men, who were at a loss for words. Zhao Zichen was the perfect lover that every man in the True Emptiness Realm could only dream of.

Just seeing her once was the dream of countless men. Now, she was offering herself to a man, yet he refused her.

However, upon reflecting on Ye Fei’s words, the men present somewhat understood. After all, no one would willingly share their woman with another man.

But Zhao Zichen’s offer wasn’t entirely unacceptable, was it?

Just being close to her once would be a lifetime’s worth of happiness, right?

In any case, they were more conflicted than Ye Fei, the person involved, at that moment.

After another moment of silence, Zhao Zichen finally said, ”Rest assured, I will try my best to fall in love with you.”

Whether you fall in love with me or not is irrelevant; I have to accept you first! Ye Fei couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

But he understood that although Zhao Zichen was dozens of times older than him, she was a complete novice when it came to love.

Some things just couldn’t be explained to her. Moreover, if she did fall in love with him one day, that wouldn’t be bad either. So, he just let it go.

He humored Zhao Zichen with a few words, then turned his attention to the people from the General’s Mansion and said, ”Who from the Wujin Sect wants to speak up?”

After the black-robed figure suddenly killed Bu Jinghuo and the other four, the originally triumphant three factions had been completely stunned. Although they wanted to run, they didn’t dare. Zhao Zichen could easily wipe them all out with just a flick of her finger.

Now that Ye Fei, who even Zhao Zichen acknowledged as strong, was calling them out, these people were all terrified.

The people from the General’s Mansion and the Ye Ling Sect even took a few steps back, isolating the Wujin Sect members.

With nowhere to hide, the Wujin Sect members had no choice but to step forward reluctantly. A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader spoke with utmost humility, ”I am the Sect Leader of the Wujin Sect, Zuo Hao. May I ask what the senior desires?”

”Zuo Hao?” Ye Fei pondered for a moment, then said, ”I encountered someone called the young master of the Zuo family not long ago. He’s your son, right?”

”That’s correct. That foolish child had no eyes and offended the senior. He deserved his fate!” Zuo Hao quickly replied, having already found out the cause of his son’s death and now thinking that Ye Fei was coming for him over this matter.

Ye Fei frowned at the man, thinking even less of him, and said indifferently, ”Offending me is nothing. I wouldn’t bother with a minor character like him. But offending my friend is another matter. Do you know why I killed him?”

”Wasn’t it because he offended you, senior?” Zuo Hao asked, puzzled.

”I said, offending me is no big deal. I’m not the type to hold a grudge against a minor character,” Ye Fei explained. ”But I have a friend. Do you remember him? His name is Li Canghai.”

”Li Canghai?! Is he still alive?” Before Zuo Hao could respond, Jia Wendu, from a distance, shouted first, then quickly walked up to Ye Fei and asked again, ”Where is he?”

”Get out of my sight!” Ye Fei barked. He had no particular fondness for the Wen Chang Mansion either, mainly because of his woman, Jia Jingwen. Back then, Jia Jingwen was the daughter of the mansion’s leader.

After her entire family was massacred, the Wen Chang Mansion completely ignored her. Otherwise, such a young girl wouldn’t have wandered into the spatial passage.

Although the Wen Chang Mansion was the closest to the Nuwa Palace’s territory, it was still tens of thousands of miles from the spatial passage.

One could only imagine how much hardship Jia Jingwen had endured.
