Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

"Let's head back quickly. The snow has stopped, and we shouldn't keep them waiting too long," Liu Yiru said as she stood up, now dressed in the clothes Ye Fei had retrieved from his storage space.

Earlier, they had been so absorbed in each other that they hadn't even noticed when the snow had stopped.

Ye Fei glanced up at the sky. Though the snow had ceased, the clouds were still heavy and low. "No rush. The Shaolin people probably won't arrive that quickly. Let's go see someone first."

Liu Yiru was momentarily taken aback. "There is a 'master'?" She had assumed Ye Fei had just made up an excuse to spend some intimate time alone with her, but it seemed there was someone he wanted to visit.

"It's not anyone mysterious. It's Bai Yingshi, the number one beauty of the martial world. We had some interaction last time, and since we're leaving soon, it's only polite to say goodbye. We can't be accused of being rude," Ye Fei explained with a smile.

"Hmph! Politeness, my foot. You're just interested in her," Liu Yiru retorted with a playful snort.

Ye Fei laughed but didn't deny it. After all, he and his mother were so in tune with each other that it was no surprise she could read his thoughts. Besides, he had never intended to hide anything from her.

Though he had only been there once, Ye Fei had memorized the location of Bai Yingshi and Bai You'er's residence.

Compared to his last visit, the snow-covered mountain path was much more challenging, especially the steep sections where the freshly fallen snow would scatter at the slightest touch. But this was no obstacle for Ye Fei.

While Liu Yiru was still a bit weak from their earlier activities, her internal energy had noticeably increased, and with Ye Fei's help, the journey was manageable.

Soon, the mother and son arrived at the entrance of the cave. Although Ye Fei and Bai Yingshi were on good terms, the cave was still the home of two women, so he couldn't just barge in. Instead, he called out in a clear voice, "Sister Bai, it's Ye Fei. I've come to visit!"

Though his voice wasn't particularly loud, and he didn't use any internal energy, it was enough to be heard inside. However, after a while, there was no response.

Ye Fei, who cared deeply for the women he loved, couldn't help but feel a pang of worry despite his confidence in Bai Yingshi's abilities. Setting aside propriety, he took his mother's hand and entered the cave.

"Sister Bai, You'er, are you here?" Ye Fei called out again inside the cave, but there was still no answer. It was clear that Bai Yingshi and her disciple had already left. The cave was neatly arranged, with no signs of a struggle, which left Ye Fei puzzled.

"Ye Fei, come look. Is this note for you?" Liu Yiru, who had been examining the cave, spotted a note on the table. Since it wasn't their place, she didn't touch it but instead called out to her son.

Ye Fei, however, had no such reservations. He picked up the note and read the few lines written in elegant calligraphy: "Young Master Ye, due to a recent misunderstanding, I will be taking my disciple to Qinghai to resolve the conflict. Please do not worry."

Though there was no signature, both Ye Fei and Liu Yiru knew it was from Bai Yingshi.

Previously, Bai Yingshi had mentioned that she and the mother of Lu Feng were close friends. Given her strength, even without the spiritual energy of Tianshan, few in the world could rival her. So Ye Fei wasn't particularly worried about her trip to Qinghai.

Liu Yiru, however, felt a bit differently. She couldn't help but say with a hint of jealousy, "You're quite something. After just two meetings, you've already won the heart of the number one beauty in the martial world!"

From the simple note, Ye Fei could sense Bai Yingshi's feelings for him. He had thought it would take more effort, so he was naturally pleased. But he feigned ignorance. "It's too early to say that. It's just a casual note, and she didn't even know I'd come."

"That's exactly why it's significant. She left a note without even knowing you'd visit. If she had known, she might have stayed here instead of going to Qinghai!" Liu Yiru huffed.

"What, are you jealous?" Ye Fei laughed, gently wrapping his arm around Liu Yiru's slender waist. "But you've never been against it before."

"Bai Yingshi is different. She's the number one beauty in the martial world!" Liu Yiru protested though she leaned comfortably into Ye Fei's embrace.

Ye Fei smiled. "You're wrong about that. If we go out and ask, everyone would say my dear mother is the true number one beauty."

"But my original appearance wasn't as good as hers. If you two get together, she'll surpass me again soon!" Liu Yiru pouted, her expression like that of a jealous little girl, which Ye Fei found both amusing and endearing.

"Ah, I see. Well, that's easy to fix. I'll make sure to 'nourish' you every day, ten or eight times a day. That way, even if she comes, she won't surpass you," Ye Fei said with a hearty laugh.

"Oh, stop it!" Liu Yiru scolded, though her face lit up with a smile. She had just been momentarily insecure—after all, the title of "number one beauty" was enough to make anyone feel threatened.

But after a few words from Ye Fei, she realized that no matter how beautiful another woman might be, it wouldn't diminish her place in her son's heart. Her mood quickly returned to normal, and she no longer felt any resentment toward Bai Yingshi.

Ye Fei laughed and teased her further. "How about we start now? The environment here is nice. Why not a few rounds?"

"Oh, you're impossible! You almost killed me earlier. If you want to, do it yourself!" Liu Yiru giggled and ran out of the cave, with Ye Fei following close behind.

Since Bai Yingshi and her disciples were no longer there, there was no reason to stay. Mother and son activated their lightness skills and swiftly made their way back to the valley.
