Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

After the journey back and the time spent in the cave, Liu Yiru's strength had mostly recovered. Her newly gained internal energy had also been fully assimilated and put to use, so she no longer needed Ye Fei's assistance. Ye Fei, for his part, didn't insist on helping and instead followed slightly behind her, admiring her graceful figure.

Even though she was bundled up in thick winter clothing, her beauty was still captivating, filling him with pride as her companion.

Though Liu Yiru's lightness skill wasn't as fast as Ye Fei's lightning speed, it was still among the best in the martial world. It didn't take long for the mother and son to return to the valley. They didn't head to the hot spring cave because they assumed that, with the snow having stopped, the other women would have already returned.

As expected, when they arrived at the valley, they found Shui Ying and Ye Zhilin waiting for them. Ye Zhilin was the first to approach, asking, "Why did you take so long? Did you meet that master?"

"No, they weren't home," Ye Fei replied, shaking his head. He added, "I also got a bit lost on the way there and spent some time finding the right path."

"You can't even remember the way? You're hopeless! Maybe you should just stay home from now on," Ye Zhilin teased, clearly amused by Ye Fei's blunder.

Shui Ying, however, didn't buy Ye Fei's flimsy excuse. Especially after seeing Liu Yiru's radiant and satisfied expression, she knew exactly what had happened. She gave Liu Yiru a knowing and mischievous smile, though inwardly, she felt a pang of envy.

Liu Yiru wasn't embarrassed by Shui Ying's smile, but she did feel a bit guilty. Like her, Shui Ying and the others had been holding back for days, and she had been so caught up in her pleasure that she had momentarily forgotten about her sisters. She walked over to Shui Ying and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, sister. That little rascal will make it up to you tonight."

Shui Ying, who never held back in front of Liu Yiru, nodded happily, her anticipation for the night growing as a certain part of her body began to feel warm and moist.

Ye Zhilin, oblivious to the whispered exchange between the two women, tugged at Ye Fei's arm. "Everyone's packing up. Let's go help. That old monk said their people will be here soon."

As Ye Fei followed Ye Zhilin, he teased, "Why is everyone else packing while you're out here? Are you trying to slack off?"

"Not at all!" Ye Zhilin wrinkled her cute little nose. "Sister Ying was worried you'd get lost, so she asked me to wait here for you. You're so ungrateful, standing out here in the cold for you, and this is how you thank me?"

As they chatted and laughed, the four of them made their way into the valley. By then, the other women had already packed everything, including the tents. Tang Minghao and Master Wu Kong were also there, clearly ready to leave.

It was already past noon, but no one was in the mood to eat. While the scenery was beautiful, it wasn't exactly the best place for a meal. Since they'd soon be in the city, they didn't mind waiting a little longer.

The Shaolin Sect's efficiency was impressive. It wasn't long before they heard the distant roar of helicopter blades, and soon, a fleet of over a dozen helicopters came into view.

Seeing these small but state-of-the-art helicopters, Ye Fei felt a sense of unreality. He had only been introduced to the world of martial artists in the past few months, and his prior impressions had come entirely from martial arts novels. He had always imagined these martial sects as classical, traditional places, so the sudden appearance of such high-tech equipment felt oddly out of place.

But then he thought about it and realized that even martial sects needed to keep up with the times. After all, aside from Bai Yingshi in the Tianshan Mountains, he had yet to meet anyone whose lightness skill could match his. For those with less advanced skills, modern transportation was undoubtedly more convenient.

Looking around, Ye Fei noticed that everyone else seemed to take the helicopters for granted, chatting and laughing casually. Only Ye Zhilin, who had never seen anything like this before, stared wide-eyed at the approaching machines, her face filled with curiosity and excitement.

In no time, the helicopters landed in the valley. Before the snow kicked up by the rotors could settle, a man hurried over and bowed respectfully to Master Wu Kong.

"Disciple Qi Bo of the Shaolin Sect greets Master Wu Kong and all the esteemed seniors. Due to the weather, we couldn't bring larger aircraft and had to coordinate with other sects to provide these smaller helicopters. We apologize for the delay."

"No need to apologize. You've arrived quickly," Master Wu Kong replied with a smile. He then turned to invite Ye Zhilin, the alliance leader, to board first, only to find that she had already run over to one of the helicopters.

Curious, Ye Zhilin examined the helicopter, touching it here and there. She couldn't understand how this metal contraption could fly. Giving up on figuring it out, she turned to Ye Fei and called out, "Ye Fei, come over here and explain this to me."

The pilots from the other helicopters had also disembarked by now. Naturally, they were all captivated by Ye Zhilin's stunning beauty, but her childlike curiosity also amused them. However, as disciples of various sects, they knew their place and didn't dare to act presumptuously.

Ye Fei walked over to Ye Zhilin and said with a wry smile, "I'll explain it to you later."

Master Wu Kong also approached and said respectfully, "Alliance Leader, please board first."

At his words, the disciples' eyes widened in disbelief. They couldn't fathom how this young, seemingly clueless, and stunningly beautiful girl could be the leader of the martial alliance.

Unconcerned with their stares, Ye Zhilin pulled Ye Fei onto the helicopter, eager for him to explain how it worked. Master Wu Kong, as the host, naturally accompanied her with the utmost courtesy.
