Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 285: Knight's Assembly



Eric watched as "Meyer" tried to "save" herself, shouting, "Sister, sister, come out and save me!"

Suddenly, the anxious look on Meyer's face disappeared, and she no longer avoided Eric's gaze, looking directly at him and asking with a smile, "Have you met?"

Eric was about to reply when Meyer's expression changed again, and she quickly said, "Yes, we've met! He's the guy I told you about, the one with no gentlemanly manners..."

Eric smiled, knowing he had guessed right. This new-found sister was indeed an extremely rare dual-soul individual, and the second soul within her should be the woman Meyer referred to as "Merly" who had falsely accused him!

Seeing Eric's nonchalant reaction, Meyer couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you surprised?"

"What's there to be surprised about..." Eric had spent more than forty years studying soul magic and the fairy clan's secret "Scroll of Mental Magic" during his time in Celestia. The phenomenon of multiple souls in one body was quite common to him, and there were even several living beings he had personally created!

Meyer's face showed a hint of emotion, "You are the first person to see both of us sisters and not treat us differently. Thank you..."

Meyer's expression changed again, and Merly appeared, saying, "I didn't expect that although you have no gentlemanly manners, you have very thick skin and don't seem uncomfortable at all..."

"You're the one with thick skin!" Eric rolled his eyes inwardly and asked, "How do you know I'm not uncomfortable?"

"Maybe it's God's compensation for us..." Merly said proudly, "Our perception is very strong. Although we can't directly know each other's thoughts, we can clearly perceive each other's emotional changes. No matter how deep his city is, he can't deceive us..."

Seeing Merly's little movements of raising her face, squinting her eyes, and wrinkling her nose, Eric smiled faintly and said, "It seems like you're quite proud of your current situation..."

"What can I do? It's been over twenty years, I've adjusted my mindset long ago, and I've learned how to find and appreciate my own strengths..." Merly's tone was flat, with a hint of melancholy. Then she glanced at Eric and snorted, "Why am I telling you, a guy with no gentlemanly manners, all this..."

"Guy with no gentlemanly manners?" Eric narrowed his eyes slightly, calmly saying, "We even have children..."

"What's going on?" Meyer appeared. Of course, she didn't believe that Eric and Merly really had children, but she felt that something was wrong between them.

"Sister..."

"Don't try to deceive me, tell me the truth!"

Listening to one person's self-questioning and self-answering, watching the same beautiful face change expressions, Eric couldn't help but smile.

"You're still laughing?" Merly exclaimed angrily, "If it weren't for you, this guy without gentlemanly manners, how could my sister say such harsh words to me?"

"Merly, don't speak to Eric like that!"

"...Merly fell silent for a moment, then said with embarrassment, "Sister, you...you actually call him 'Eric'? When did you meet, why don't I know? And why are you so affectionate towards him..."

Meyer ignored Merly, smiled apologetically at Eric, and said, "Eric, you've probably figured it out. The one who just spoke is my sister, your other sister. You can call her 'Merly'..."

"Wait a minute..." Merly interjected, "Who is whose sister? When did we have an Eastern brother?"

"Eric is the grandson of Grandpa Eric Yun. He is also the deputy head of the Medicine King Sect. According to the instructions of our ancestors, he is also a direct core member of our Broumell family, so he is our brother!"

Listening to Meyer's words, Merly did not appear for a long time.

Just when Eric thought she couldn't bear the "blow" and fell into "unconsciousness," she suddenly popped up again, with a joyful face, saying, "Haha, I didn't expect you to be Grandpa Eric Yun's grandson, my little brother! I finally have a little brother too, I can finally boss someone around..."

Merly's inexplicable excitement made Eric have an ominous premonition for no reason, and he couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"Why are you frowning? Hmph!" Merly pouted her tempting red lips. She proudly said, "Hurry up and call me 'Sister' to listen..."

"Alright, Merly. Don't bully Eric!" Perhaps sensing Eric's awkwardness, Meyer appeared and said, "You haven't told us how you met Eric yet?"

"Well, uh..." Merly seemed a bit embarrassed, "Didn't I tell you before..."

"Hmph. You didn't mention anything about 'having a child' in your previous story! This time I want to hear the detailed process, all of it."

Helpless, Merly had to recount the whole thing.

After listening, Meyer couldn't help but blame her, "How could you use such a damaging method to frame others..."

"Sister, it was just a moment of confusion, don't scold me again!" To divert Meyer's attention, Merly asked Eric with a charming look, "How long do you want to hug Sister, little brother~"

This "little brother" was pronounced with ups and downs, twists and turns, making people's hearts numb and bones tingle involuntarily. Fortunately, Eric was firm-willed, having been tested by Tang Feiyan, Wu Mei, and others for a long time, and didn't lose his composure, saying calmly, "Your bodies are too weak. If I let go, you would probably fall to the ground!"

"By the way, Sister, why are you so weak? It's not just physical exhaustion, but also a great loss of mental power..."

"It's nothing. It's just that when I was sparring with Eric just now, I used a special move!"

"A special move?" Merly's voice suddenly rose, "Does that mean you'll be weak for another two months?"

"What's wrong?" Meyer smiled, "Are you going to nag me again because you can't go out for two months? Don't you want to participate in the Knight's Assembly held in Denmark in a month?"

Meyer was at a loss for words, indicating that the Knight's Assembly was undoubtedly very important to her. Out of curiosity, Eric asked, "What is the Knight's Assembly?"

With a slight smile, Meyer said, "It's the most prestigious martial arts competition in the European knight world, similar to the martial arts competition in China. It's a place for exchanging martial arts skills. It's held once a year, hosted by major European countries in turn."

"Do you want to participate?"

Meyer nodded without hesitation. Merly added, "My sister participates every year. On the one hand, she observes and learns from others' skills, and on the other hand, she expands the influence of the Broumell family."

"Expanding influence?" Eric thought for a moment, "Is it through martial arts competitions?"

"Yes." Merly said proudly, "In the past three years, my sister has been the champion of the martial arts competition. In these three years, the number of wandering knights recruited by our Broumell family has increased by sixty percentage points compared to previous years, not to mention other benefits..."

"So, I have some responsibility..."

"Of course..." Merly only said two words before Meyer interrupted, "...no. The reputation of our Broumell family has reached a bottleneck. Even if I win the championship again this year, it won't help much. Moreover, sparring with you made me realize the huge gap between myself and a holy knight. In a sense, this is more helpful to me and our Broumell family..."

"Holy knight?" Merly was extremely shocked, "Isn't Eric the junior head of the Medicine King Sect? How could he be a holy knight?"

Meyer explained, "Although Eric is not a knight, his strength is equivalent to that of a holy knight. Sparring with him is no different from sparring with a holy knight..."

"Hehe, I actually have a holy knight little brother..."

Not paying attention to Merly, who seemed to be lost in some kind of imagination, Eric raised an eyebrow and asked, "Since martial arts competitions are no longer useful, what are you going to do?"

"First, I want to see the martial arts of other knights. After a year of training, I think their progress must be significant. Maybe they will also come up with some new and powerful moves. Second, I want to take this opportunity to visit my good friend..."

Eric smiled slightly, understanding, "A boyfriend?"

"Nonsense," Meyer gave Eric a look and said, "It's a woman! She is a great beauty and a great master, often referred to alongside me as the 'two brightest pearls in the knight world'…"

Eric was slightly embarrassed and coughed, saying, "From your tone, it seems like it's difficult to contact her normally?"

"Yes. Her family has some strange rules. Not only are they not allowed to go out normally, but they also prohibit visitors. Only during the knight's assembly can we meet!"

Glancing at Meyer, Eric said, "You care a lot about this friend?"

"Of course! She can be said to be my only friend!" Meyer nodded vigorously, her expression somewhat nostalgic.

Eric smiled faintly and said casually, "Don't worry, I can make it happen for you to go to Denmark! Even if I can't make you recover completely, at least I can prevent you from being so weak like now!"
