Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1951 - 280: The Mistress of Xuan Nü Palace 1

Wang Yue couldnʼt help but laugh. This delicate and pampered girl hadnʼt even tasted anything herself, yet she was already thinking about helping others.

Although Su Jiaojiao meant well, Wang Yue didnʼt want to accept her offer.

He could already sense the feelings that his two cousins had for him, but they were very subtle.

They werenʼt as enthusiastic and proactive as their mother, nor as bold and direct as his aunt and her daughter. If he pushed things too far, he might scare them away.

So he interjected, ”Thereʼs no need to argue about this. I donʼt think that whether someone is ʼfatelessʼ can be generalized; it should be linked to their strength. As long as one has enough strength to protect themselves, no matter how beautiful they are, they wonʼt have to worry about being coveted by others.”

The twin sisters also came back to their senses at this point and nodded in agreement, saying, ”What our brother says makes the most sense.”

”You always protect him,” Su Jiaojiao snapped, then suddenly thought of something else and asked, ”Do you think Second Aunt will be bullied in the Yang family? After all, she meets the criteria of being the most beautiful woman in history, but she probably doesnʼt have enough strength to protect herself.”

Bang!

The high-speed hovering car crashed into a large tree by the roadside, startling the three sisters of the Su family.

Wang Yue released the steering wheel, his fists clenched tightly, and the veins on his arms bulged.

Su Jinʼer quickly gave Su Jiaojiao a look, signaling her to stop talking, and then comforted them, saying, ”Itʼs okay. After all, Second Aunt was taken away as the future wife of the young master of the Yang family. Even if she isnʼt popular there, out of respect for her reputation, the Yang family wouldnʼt allow her to be bullied.”

”Huh…” Wang Yue let out a deep sigh and forced a smile. ”Donʼt worry, Iʼm fine. Sorry for making you all worried.”

Wang Yue was truly grateful to his Second Aunt, whom he had never met before and had only recently heard of.

Without her sacrifice back in the past, it might have been his mother who would have been taken away, and if that had happened, there would be no Wang Yue in this world today.

Without strength, Wang Yue had to accept that fact. After all, if he acted impulsively, not only would he suffer, but the three major families of Jinling would also be involved.

But now, not only did he possess considerable strength, but he also had the potential to become the strongest person in the world. This fact made him impatient; even waiting for just one more day was a torment for him.

The thought that his Second Aunt, who had done so much for his mother and his siblings, might be in trouble filled his heart with agony.

Su Jiaojiao realized she had said something wrong and quickly added, ”Brother, I think Sister Jinʼer is right. Second Aunt is the most beautiful woman in history. Which man, having such a wife, would not cherish and protect her? Thereʼs no reason to bully her. As for why Second Aunt hasnʼt written in all these years, I think she probably doesnʼt want to keep in touch with us.”

”Yes, thatʼs true. If it were me, I would be filled with resentment if my own father betrayed me when I was six years old, and I would never want to have anything to do with that sad place again,” Su Xiuʼer said, giving Su Jiaojiao a secret thumbs-up in admiration.

That careless girl had actually hit upon the right solution and provided the most convincing argument to comfort Wang Yue.

Upon hearing what they said, Wang Yueʼs mood indeed improved considerably. Although upon closer reflection, there were still many things to worry about, he didnʼt want to think about them any further.

The Yang family was something he had to deal with eventually, but not right now. Before setting off, all he needed to do was find ways to improve his cultivation level.

Overthinking things would only disrupt his focus and be of no help at all.

Although otakus have many flaws, they also possess a great advantage: their ability to adjust their emotions is exceptionally strong.

In other words, they are unmatched in terms of self-comfort.

In his previous life, Wang Yue had spent tens of millions of years in that mysterious space.

Without this ability, he would probably have become depressed and died long ago. So, he quickly adjusted his mood, started his vehicle again, and headed towards the city.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

Despite such a violent impact that even a large tree was split apart, not a single paint chip came off of Wang Yueʼs hovercar.

The only consequence was a fine imposed by the city authorities for damaging a tree.

In a distant, unknown land, atop a giant mountain covered in ice and snow for thousands of years, there lies a complex of buildings entirely made of ice.

At the center of this complex is a huge ice and snow palace.

At that moment, the palace was empty except for a woman dressed in an ice-blue dress, who sat on the Dark Ice Throne at the very top.

Apart from her ice-blue dress, the woman wore no other decorations.

Her long, black hair fell loosely down her back, and her bare face was breathtakingly beautiful. She exuded an air of elegance and nobility, yet also a coldness like ice.

If Wang Yue had seen this woman, he would have been astonished because both her appearance and figure were exactly like those of his mother, Su Mengyan. Even the colors of her clothes were very similar.

However, unlike Su Mengyanʼs usual indifference, this womanʼs demeanor was as cold as eternal ice. Just one glance at her could make one shiver with cold.

Suddenly, as if a rare flower had bloomed or the ice had melted, a gentle smile appeared on the womanʼs beautiful face, and she murmured to herself, ”I didnʼt expect these little ones to care so much about me. Itʼs a pity I canʼt see you all right now.”

If her fellow disciples had seen this smile, they would have been stunned.

Since coming to Xuan Nu Palace over twenty years ago, she had never smiled once.

Even when she became the head of the palace at the young age of thirty-two, breaking a record that had stood for hundreds of years, she showed no sign of joy.

To the people of Xuan Nu Palace, this new head of the palace was someone who never smiled and who seemed to lack emotions completely.

Her heart was as hard as ice, which was why she fit so well with the traditions of Xuan Nu Palace. In just over twenty years, she had achieved an incredible level of cultivation.

After a short while, she let out a soft sigh and said, ”Mother, Yanʼer, and my elder sister and younger sister… Itʼs been thirty years since we last saw each other. I wonder how you all are doing now.” Then, she put aside her sentimentality and once again adopted her cold, icy demeanor.

After a short while, a woman dressed in white, whose beauty was only slightly inferior to that of the woman in blue, came in from outside.

She bowed slightly in front of the woman in blue and said, ”Lordess, the information has been confirmed. The Zhang family from Tianhai is preparing to make a major move into Jinling, and their target is the three prominent families of Jinling.”

”Hmm,” the woman in blue nodded and said calmly, ”I understand. Keep a close watch on the situation, but unless it becomes necessary, no one from the palace is allowed to take action.”

The woman in white was taken aback and asked, ”Lordess, didnʼt you say before that you wanted to nip all dangers in the bud? Why have you changed your mind now?”

”Thereʼs no need for further questions. Just carry out my orders,” the woman in blue replied calmly. In her heart, she thought: It seems that Yaner has a very capable son… This would be a good opportunity for him to gain experience.

The woman in white accepted the order and was about to leave when the woman in blue added, ”Also, speed up the development of a remote-controlled surveillance program. Notify me as soon as it is ready.”
