Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Looking at the ancient city in front of her, Lin Yujie was full of disbelief. "Eric, is this really our home?"

"Of course."

Lin Yujie shook her head, still finding it hard to believe. Her family was one of the wealthiest in Shanghai, and she had seen luxurious mansions before. But having an entire "city" as a home was something else.

As they entered Wu Mei Villa, Lin Yujie marveled at the scenery along the way.

When they entered the garden where Eric lived, eight exotic girls with golden hair and beautiful jade-like appearances knelt on the ground, saying in unison, "Welcome, Master!"

"Please rise." These were his exclusive maids, personal attendants.

The ones serving Eric wouldn't be blood slaves, but pure-blooded vampire Duchesses, skilled in both martial arts and the art of disguise.

The beauty and charm of these eight vampire Duchesses made Lin Yujie unable to resist being envious, but she restrained herself, knowing her position and Tan Ailing's prior instructions. However, she couldn't help but give Eric a big eye roll.

"Enough with the jealousy!" Tang Feiyan chuckled and pulled her along, pointing to a scene in the garden. "Yujie, look at that. What do you think it is?"

Lin Yujie shot Eric, who was completely indifferent to her eye roll, a fierce look before turning to look.

But when she saw it, she was astonished, her attractive lips forming a surprised "O" shape. She stammered, "Isn't that the Yu Garden's Jade Sculpture?"

"You have a good eye! Now look at those..." Tang Feiyan smiled and pointed to the artifacts that Skidmore and the others had retrieved through "unconventional" means, testing Lin Yujie's nerves.

Eric and Tan Ailing exchanged a smile, ignoring them, and sat together in the garden swing, where beautiful attendants served them hot tea.

Having been home for a while, Eric had yet to see Feng Qian. Just as he was about to inquire, he sensed something and looked toward the garden gate.

"Big Brother..." With a joyful call, the person Eric had been concerned about appeared before him.
Stay connected with empire

Eric stood up, catching Feng Qian as she flew into his arms, kissing her on the forehead. He smiled and asked, "Feng Qian, where were you playing just now?"

Feng Qian nestled affectionately in Eric's arms, took a deep breath, and then smiled, "I was walking the dogs in the back mountains..."

"Oh? So Feng Qian likes those big dogs?" Eric knew that Feng Qian had a particular fondness for dogs, but he never imagined that this "little girl" would also like the large hunting dogs the guards handled.

"Not big dogs, but small ones!" Feng Qian shook her head, somewhat excited. "Big Brother, you haven't been gone for two days, and Sakya sent people over with four newly born Tibetan Mastiffs, saying it was your order! Big Brother, you didn't see them, those puppies are so cute..."

Only then did Eric remember that he had indeed asked Sakya's people to find a few Tibetan Mastiffs, but he hadn't expected them to send over newborns.

Patting the excited and joyful Feng Qian, Eric pointed to Lin Yujie, who had arrived after seeing her, ready to make introductions. However, his attention was drawn to four small animals that appeared at the gate.

They should be the newborn Tibetan Mastiffs Feng Qian mentioned, but they were very small, only the size of a palm, and snow-white, like fluffy clouds.

The four round, chubby, furry little dogs tumbled into the garden, clumsily running towards Feng Qian.

"Ah, so cute."

Tang Feiyan's eyes lit up when she saw the four puppies. She went up to them, opened her arms, and actually scooped up all four fluffy little Tibetan Mastiffs, rubbing her face against them and sighing comfortably.

Eric glanced at the four struggling and whimpering little Tibetan Mastiffs, shook his head, and continued with what he hadn't finished, "Feng Qian, this is Lin Yujie. In the future, you'll call her 'Sister Yujie.'"

"Okay, Big Brother." Feng Qian obediently responded, then looked at Lin Yujie and called out softly, "Sister Yujie..."

Lin Yujie smiled and nodded, affectionately saying, "Then I'll call you 'Little Feng Qian' like Ailing does in the future..."

"Mm."

Eric noticed that both Feng Qian and Lin Yujie, despite their intimate demeanor, seemed somewhat distracted.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that both of them had their eyes on the small Tibetan Mastiff in Tang Feiyan's arms.

Tan Ailing, who also noticed this, smiled and said to Tang Feiyan, "Alright, put the little Tibetan Mastiff down quickly. If you keep this up, you'll suffocate them..."

With Tan Ailing's rescue, the four nearly suffocating little Tibetan Mastiffs finally escaped her clutches.

Once on the ground, the four poor little guys immediately hid behind Feng Qian. Their clumsy and shy but adorable appearance made everyone, except Tang Feiyan, laugh.

The four little Tibetan Mastiffs ran to Feng Qian, rubbed against her a few times, then sniffed at Eric, seeming to wonder why this person was so close to their master. They felt that, although the scent on this person was not as fragrant as their master's, it was pleasant and gave them a sense of security that even their master couldn't provide!

Watching the four affectionate little Tibetan Mastiffs, Eric couldn't help but smile.

Back in Celestia, he had also kept pets.

Unfortunately, due to the difference in time and space, he couldn't summon them all to Earth. He wondered how they were doing in Celestia now...

Feeling sentimental because of the memories, Eric bent down and patted the four little guys, saying with a smile, "Grow up quickly, and I'll take you hunting."

Although they couldn't understand human words, the four little Tibetan Mastiffs could sense Eric's kindness and joy, and they all happily whimpered in response.

"Eric..."

Two calls interrupted Eric's contentment. He turned to see Luoli and Sun Clouds.

It seemed that a comfortable life really could lower one's vigilance! These two, who were so close, he hadn't even noticed, despite them also being in the pre-heaven realm. But he shouldn't have!

Looking at the sky, Eric was puzzled. "Aren't you supposed to be studying at the company at this time? Why are you back?"

Luoli looked at Eric with some resentment and said softly, "Rinpoche, why didn't you inform me when you came home? If Lusien, the steward, hadn't called me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known you were back even now! Do you not care about me at all?"

Luoli's slightly sad tone surprised Eric. After a moment of stunned silence, he replied, "I do care, but I didn't want to disturb your studies!"

Luoli was a little excited, her voice unconsciously rising, "But I'm yours, so how can there be any 'disturbance'..."

At this moment, Lin Yujie, who had noticed the commotion, walked over.

Dressed in white, cradling the small Tibetan Mastiff, she looked so pure and stunning in the winter sun.

Luoli and Sun Clouds, upon seeing her, were both shocked, seemingly not expecting to encounter such an outstanding woman in this world.

Lin Yujie's beauty surpassed that of Luoli and Sun Clouds, and compared to the seductive powers of the *Spring Wind and Rain Technique* and the *Yin-Yang Ecstasy and Great Compassion Fu*, hers was not much inferior.

Overall, the pure Lin Yujie was more attractive than the alluring Luoli.

"Eric, are these two the spokespersons for the Sakya Sun-Moon Sister Deities? They are indeed beautiful and elegant..."

Lin Yujie gently hooked Eric's arm, looking up and down at the two women who were more charming than Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan.

Sun Clouds did not change her expression due to Lin Yujie's words, but her master's eyes dimmed slightly as he stared at Lin Yujie's hands. "Rinpoche, I don't know who this is..."

"She is Lin Yujie, my junior sister, and my third wife!"

Unable to see Luoli's expression as she kept her head down, Eric could only hear a hint of disappointment in her voice. "Greetings, Buddha Consort."

"No need." Lin Yujie smiled faintly, released Eric, and kindly took Luoli and Sun Clouds' hands, walking towards where Tang Feiyan and the others were playing. As they walked, she said, "No need to be so formal, come and play with us!"

Luoli's unusual behavior made Eric slightly frowned. He knew what that represented.

He didn't understand why Luoli would have feelings for him, as they had very little contact, right?

Could it be just because of "responsibility" and "destiny"?

However, if that was the reason, then why did Sun Clouds, who was also a spokesperson for the Sun-Moon Sister Deities, behave so normally, showing no extra emotions other than the respect due to the Living Buddha?

Shaking his head, Eric decided not to dwell on this potentially troublesome matter and to let things take their course.

Just then, Lusien, the steward of Wu Mei Mountain Villa, appeared at the garden gate, holding a large red invitation with gold trim.

"What's the matter?"

"Master, the Shanghai Municipal Government invites you to attend a banquet tonight, personally named by Deputy Mayor Tang!"
