Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 698: The Power of the Flesh

”Hahaha...” Dark Phoenix laughed triumphantly.

”How does it feel, you two? The taste of the Power-Dispersing Powder? Canʼt gather your true energy now, can you? Congratulations on going from top-tier experts to weaklings. I just wonder if itʼll affect your performance later. If it does, what a shame.”

The last sentence was directed at Ye Fei, and as she spoke, her eyes wandered downward, filled with blatant desire. Her lustful demeanor was almost comical.

Ye Fei also tried to summon his inner energy and felt a slight blockage in his meridians. However, after circulating his energy once, the sluggishness disappeared.

It seemed this so-called Power-Dispersing Powder did not affect someone of his level.

Still, Ye Fei was shocked. What kind of drug was this, to have such a potent effect?

After all, Li Ruonan was a natural-born expert, yet she had fallen victim to it so quickly.

If this substance were widely available, it could spell disaster for the martial world.

Moreover, he wasnʼt sure of the drugʼs full potential, only that it worked on those at the innate level and above. But there was a vast gap between the innate level and his own, which far surpassed the Great Perfection stage.

Seeing Ye Fei remain silent, both women assumed he had also been affected.

Dark Phoenix grew even more smug, while Li Ruonan was filled with regret. It was all her fault.

Ye Fei had stopped earlier, clearly sensing someone approaching, but she had been too consumed by the pursuit of pleasure to let him pause.

If only she had, they wouldnʼt have been seen, wouldnʼt have wasted time talking, and might not have fallen victim to the drug. Her beautiful eyes brimmed with endless guilt as she choked out, ”Husband, are you okay?”

This strong woman, who hadnʼt shed a tear even when Ye Fei had first taken her by force, was now crying for him for the second time.

The first time was because of his tenderness, and now, it was because of her remorse and unwillingness to let him suffer. She knew full well what the name Ye Fei meant in the capital and what would happen if he fell into their hands. Yet, she was powerless to stop it.

She silently vowed that even without her inner energy, she would fight to the death, ensuring she died before her man.

Seeing the determination in Li Ruonanʼs eyes, Ye Fei was deeply moved. He smiled gently at her and said, ”Donʼt worry, your husband is strong. This little Power-Dispersing Powder canʼt control me.”

Though Ye Fei said this, neither woman believed him. Dark Phoenix, in particular, scoffed at his words. In her mind, if Ye Fei were truly unaffected, he wouldnʼt have admitted it outright.

Instead, he would have pretended to be weakened, luring all of them in before striking. The more he insisted, the more confident she became.

”You cowards, come in already!”

Dark Phoenix called out to the others outside, her tone laced with disdain. This was a joint operation between three factions.

While she would have preferred to take all the credit, the Power-Dispersing Powder only temporarily suppressed a martial artistʼs true energy.

It didnʼt affect other abilities. Besides her skills in bed, she had no other training and knew she was no match for a man like Ye Fei. So, she had no choice but to let the others in and share the spoils.

At her call, the people who had been waiting outside flooded in—nearly fifty of them, including Dark Phoenixʼs subordinates and members of the other two factions.

Seeing the sheer number of enemies, Li Ruonanʼs face turned even paler. Ye Fei, however, remained calm and composed, smiling faintly.

”I didnʼt know I had such a big reputation to attract so many friends at once.”

”Ye Fei, stop bluffing. Just accept your fate today,” a middle-aged man with an ugly face shouted. Then, his gaze shifted to Li Ruonan, a lecherous glint in his eyes.

”Looks like weʼre getting a two-for-one deal today with Miss Li here. Boys, this trip was worth it!”

”Du Long, youʼve got some nerve! Arenʼt you afraid of my fatherʼs wrath?”

Li Ruonan, desperate, resorted to using her fatherʼs name as a threat. She then whispered to Ye Fei, ”This man is Du Long. Along with Dark Phoenix and that Mad Tiger, heʼs one of the leaders of three significant factions in the capital. Their relationships are complicated, so my father never took them out.” She pointed to a burly man beside Du Long, her tone tinged with regret that her father hadnʼt eliminated them sooner.

Normally, Li Canghaiʼs name would have been enough to deter these people. But this time was different. Their backers had given them full support to deal with Ye Fei, so they werenʼt as afraid of Li Canghai. Besides, if they had taken care of the two here, Li Canghai might never have found out who was responsible.

”Brother Long, why waste words? Letʼs go! Kill the man, and weʼll deal with the woman later!” Mad Tiger bellowed. He had long lusted after Li Canghaiʼs sexy daughter but hadnʼt dared to cross her father. Now that the opportunity had finally come, he couldnʼt hold back.

”Donʼt kill the man yet. Leave him to me for a while!” Dark Phoenix interjected.

”Are you insane?” Du Long snapped. ”Heʼs someone the higher-ups explicitly ordered to eliminate quickly. Donʼt cause unnecessary trouble!”

”Whatʼs the big deal? The Power-Dispersing Powder lasts for six hours. Whatʼs wrong with leaving me three hours to have some fun?” Dark Phoenix retorted, completely unfazed.

Ye Fei felt both anger and amusement. They hadnʼt even captured him yet, and they were already dividing him and Li Ruonan between themselves. How arrogant. In his heart, he had already sentenced them to death. He couldnʼt tolerate anyone threatening his family or his woman, even if it was just empty talk.

”Hey, arenʼt you celebrating a bit too early? Iʼm still standing here, perfectly fine!” Ye Fei taunted, seeing that they were hesitating to act. His hatred for them was so intense that he didnʼt want them to die too quickly.

Using his domain to kill them would be too merciful. Instead, he wanted to rely solely on his physical strength to take them down, testing just how powerful his body had become. After all, this Power-Dispersing Powder was too strange.

If there were something even more potent, it might seal his true energy as well. Thus, he had to revisit the physical strength he had somewhat neglected since mastering the Xuan Yang Art.

But to do this, he would have to engage them in close combat.

And with Li Ruonanʼs true energy sealed, he had to protect her as well. So, he had no choice but to provoke them into coming closer.
