Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1301: Chapter 1301: The Master’s Coquettishness

Li Qiushui, waiting outside, had a slightly flushed face, whether from being one of the audience last night or from overhearing their conversation in the room just now, it was hard to tell.

Li Qiushui was exceptionally beautiful, a standout among the already stunning core disciples. Compared to the peerless beauties like Song Xueqi and Wang Yueryao, she was only slightly less enchanting. Her current blushing appearance made her look even more stunning.

Unfortunately, Ye Fei was so accustomed to seeing breathtaking beauties and was frustrated by not being able to release his pent-up desire, so he had no mood to appreciate it.

Instead, it was Song Xueqi who, with a red face, spoke up, ”Senior Sister Li, I wonder what Master wants with us?”

Seeing that Ye Fei didn’t even glance at her, Li Qiushui felt a pang of disappointment, but she knew the master’s affairs were more important, so she said, ”I’m not sure either. The master just asked me to hurry you along.”

With that, the three of them followed Li Qiushui to a room near Yin Hanyan’s private meditation chamber.

Upon entering, Ye Fei and the others found not only Yin Hanyan but also the other Great Perfection cultivator, the elder, and He Mu Xue.

”Greetings, Master, Elder, and Senior Sister Mu Xue,” the three greeted in unison. Although Ye Fei had an ambiguous relationship with Yin Hanyan, he was still her nominal disciple. Wang Yueryao, because of her relationship with Ye Fei and Song Xueqi, was also considered a member of the Cuiyan Sect, so the title was not inappropriate.

Seeing the three, Yin Hanyan couldn’t help but recall the scene she had witnessed last night and her subsequent embarrassing behavior. She felt a bit shy, but now was not the time to dwell on that. She said urgently, ”You’re here.

Senior Sister Mu Xue has reached the critical point of breakthrough, but she insists on facing the heavenly tribulation. Please help me persuade her.”

Hearing this, Song Xueqi’s face turned pale with worry, and she quickly said, ”Senior Sister, please don’t. Although your strength is formidable, the heavenly tribulation is not to be taken lightly. What if something goes wrong?”

He Mu Xue, however, seemed to have made up her mind. Despite Song Xueqi’s earnest plea, she remained unmoved, ”Xueqi, stop. I’ve made my decision.”

Yin Hanyan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. He Mu Xue was so much like her younger self, both determined to face the tribulation to become a true Great Perfection cultivator.

But back then, Yin Hanyan had to take over the leadership of the Cuiyan Sect and had to give up on her persistence. Now, with herself and the elder in charge, the sect was under no pressure, making it hard to find a reason to stop He Mu Xue.

”Is facing the heavenly tribulation really that dangerous?” Ye Fei suddenly interjected. He had experienced the trials of the Ten Thousand Calamities Tribulation.

Although it had been perilous, he had heard from Wang Qi that the peak Transformation cultivators here usually faced ninety-nine tribulations. That didn’t seem like a big deal, right?

Surprised by Ye Fei’s seemingly naive question, Yin Hanyan and the others all looked at him in astonishment, including his beloved grandma Song Xueqi. Only Wang Yueryao, who had been through it with him, understood what he meant.

Finally, Yin Hanyan explained, ”It’s not just dangerous; it’s almost certain death. The tribulation consists of ninety-nine thunderbolts.

For ordinary peak Transformation cultivators, forty to fifty bolts are enough to refine their true energy.

The remaining ones have to be endured directly. Senior Sister Mu Xue is stronger than the average peak Transformation cultivator, but she would probably only need about sixty bolts. The rest could very well...”

Although Yin Hanyan didn’t finish her sentence, Ye Fei understood completely. In simple terms, once the heavenly tribulation was triggered, the number of thunderbolts was fixed. However, the cultivator undergoing the tribulation couldn’t use all of them.

Once their true energy was refined, they couldn’t absorb any more thunderbolts.

The remaining ones would directly affect the physical body. The cultivators in the True Void Realm didn’t have particularly strong physical bodies. After a few bolts, their bodies would also be refined.

After that, they would be struck to the point of complete annihilation. So, this was not a situation with a ten percent chance of death; it was more like a hundred percent.

When Ye Fei voiced this doubt, Yin Hanyan said, ”It’s not necessarily about enduring with the physical body.

Using magical treasures for protection is also an option. However, the power of the thunderbolts is too immense.

Ordinary magical treasures can’t withstand them. And the top-tier magical treasures were almost all lost in the great battle a thousand years ago. Even with the combined efforts of our entire sect, we can’t find many.

There simply aren’t enough for Senior Sister Mu Xue to use.”

”But can’t the Ten Thousand Calamities Stone absorb any energy? If Senior Sister wears a set of that equipment after her true energy is refined, wouldn’t she be able to pass safely?” Ye Fei suggested again.

This was another naive question, and several pairs of beautiful eyes focused on Ye Fei once more. Finally, Yin Hanyan explained to her nominal disciple, ”Although the Ten Thousand Calamities Stone can absorb all kinds of energy, it excludes lightning energy. Not only can it not absorb it, but it will amplify it. If you want Senior Sister Mu Xue to die faster, then she could wear a set.”

”Then all the effort I put into making that equipment is useless? Wouldn’t it become a suicidal gear when facing a cultivator of lightning energy?” Ye Fei’s eyes widened in surprise.

Yin Hanyan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. The man she secretly liked was indeed very clever, able to come up with solutions to problems instantly.

However, his lack of common knowledge was astonishing, even less than that of ordinary people who hadn’t cultivated it. So she taught him again, ”Lightning energy belongs to the forces of the heavenly principles. Humans cannot cultivate it.”

Well, after being corrected by his beautiful master, Ye Fei didn’t feel like a human anymore.

But since both his beautiful master and his grandma-wife were so concerned about He Mu Xue, Ye Fei could only try to help her. So he said again, ”There might be other ways.”

”What ways?” Yin Hanyan quickly asked. She had called Ye Fei and the others because, on the surface, she wanted Song Xueqi, who had a good relationship with He Mu Xue, to help persuade her. But her real target was Ye Fei.

She instinctively believed that this amazing man would have a solution. She couldn’t quite explain why; it was just a blind trust.

Ye Fei casually said, ”It’s very simple. Once Senior Sister’s true energy and physical body are refined, just stop the thunderbolts.”

”Easy for you to say!” Yin Hanyan had thought Ye Fei had some brilliant idea, but it turned out to be nonsense.

She couldn’t help but coquettishly glance at him, not realizing how charming this action was. It left the other women, who had never seen this side of her, somewhat dazed. Wang Yueryao, in particular, seemed to be lost in thought.
