Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 173: The Silver-Haired Elder Who Shocked Eric



Listening to Zhou Dian's request, Eric was slightly surprised. "Why are you speaking up for the Ming Dynasty aristocratic family?"

Although Zhou Dian snorted disdainfully, he still explained, knowing he was asking for help. "I had a good relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang. When I was in seclusion, I gave him three pieces of jade and told him that if he or his descendants needed my help, they should break one piece of jade..."

"Why didn't they ask you to help them unify the world?"

Hearing Eric's surprised question, Zhou Dian rolled his eyes impatiently, even the silver-haired old man next to him couldn't help but twitch his face.

"Do you think I'm invincible?" Zhou Dian felt that his hundreds of years of qi cultivation were in vain, and he said angrily, "There are also existences in the Western world that are not weaker than me! Like the Pope of the Vatican and the Prince of the Vampire Clan..."

"What about China?"

"There are even more master-level experts in China!" Knowing what Eric was going to ask, Zhou Dian said directly, "In my celestial dynasty, almost every superpower is supported by a master-level expert! Like Jiang Taigong of the Zhou Dynasty, Liu An of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Kao of the Song Dynasty, Da Mo of the Shaolin, Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang..."

"Wait a minute..." Seeing Zhou Dian talking endlessly, Eric couldn't help but interrupt, "Didn't you say there are only three people at your level? Why does it sound like there are more..."

"What I mean is, I only know three people at my level!" Zhou Dian rolled his eyes again, "In my celestial dynasty, talents abound. On average, a master-level expert appears every hundred years! However, most master-level experts are reclusive, seeking enlightenment, aiming to take the final step and break through the shattered void. There are too few people like me who wander around..."

Ignoring Eric's disdainful look of "You also know you have ADHD", Zhou Dian continued, "Like Jiang Taigong, although he has been in seclusion for nearly three thousand years, most people believe that he has already broken through the void, but there is still no master-level figure who dares to underestimate the Zhou Dynasty aristocratic family! Because no one knows if breaking the void will allow you to return? You must know that the threat level of a master-level figure is still higher than that of nuclear weapons in a certain sense, so the super-level experts of the entire global cultivation world once had an agreement, saying that master-level figures are not allowed to intervene in worldly disputes without reason..."

"Tsk..." Eric said disdainfully, "This is a trap set by Westerners for you. Don't you have anyone who can see through it?"

When Eric returned to the Purple Garden Villa through the teleportation magic array, he did not immediately wake up Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan. It was only four or five in the morning, and there was no need to disturb the two beloved ones for his pleasure.

However, Eric didn't wait too long. Around six-thirty, the room upstairs opened, and Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan came out one after another.

Tan Ailing got up early to practice. Although pre-heaven experts no longer needed to strengthen their muscles and body, twenty years of habit was not easy to change!

Tang Feiyan, on the other hand, was preparing breakfast. Since the entire villa had no servants, and Tang Feiyan was the only one who knew how to cook?

"Eric, why are you sitting here?" Tan Ailing looked somewhat surprised when she noticed Eric.

In the past, after Eric finished his "business" at the Zhu Ming Mountain Villa, he would not return to the master bedroom to avoid disturbing Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan's rest. He would instead go to the guest room to make do. Sitting on the sofa in the living room and waiting for dawn, like today, was the first time.

After hearing Tan Ailing's words, Tang Feiyan, who had been half-asleep, also woke up and came over to hug Eric's neck, asking with concern, "Eric, did something happen?"

Eric nodded and showed them a seductive smile.

Tang Feiyan was dazzled for a moment, leaning softly against Eric's chest, and said infatuatedly, "Eric, how can you use your spiritual power to seduce people again..."

Eric didn't know what was going on recently. His spiritual power, which had been suppressed before, seemed to show signs of restlessness, manifesting itself in a huge influence!

If he smiled tenderly at you, you would melt into a puddle of water; if he looked down on you with contempt, you would regret it to the point of wanting to die! Fortunately, his current spiritual power influence only appeared from time to time, and as long as he consciously restrained it, it would not take effect.

Due to Eric's restraint, Tan Ailing only lost focus for a moment before recovering and smiling, asking, "What's up, Eric? Did something good happen?"

"Yes." Eric smiled and recounted what had happened.

After listening, Tan Ailing didn't show much joy. Instead, she said with some fear, "Eric, you should bring more people with you in the future! If Zhou Dian and the others take action, you as a mage will be too dangerous..."

"Don't worry! How could I let myself be in danger?" Eric smiled, "Back in Country A, I suffered a small loss because of Zhou Dian's 'Spatial Confinement.' How could I make the same mistake now?"

"Eric, I always knew you were the most powerful in the world! What's a master-level expert? You will find a way to deal with them..." Tang Feiyan always had confidence in Eric.

"To deal with master-level figures is not easy..." Eric tightened his arm around Tang Feiyan's arm, chuckled, and said, "But there are many ways to protect myself in front of them!"

Tang Feiyan was not disappointed either, smiling and urging Eric to explain along with Tan Ailing, who looked concerned.

"It's not a big deal! The reason why master-level figures are troublesome for me is because they have a class-specific skill like pre-heaven experts, called 'Spatial Confinement.' As long as I break this skill, they can't do anything to me!"

"How did you break it?" The two beauties asked in unison.

Eric looked slightly proud and raised his head, "Although I dare not say there will be no one after me in spatial magic, I can be called the first in this field! With my extraordinary talent in magic, it took me over a hundred..." Eric originally wanted to say "years," but changed his mind at the last minute and said, "Over a hundred days and nights..."

Eric's words made Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan couldn't help but laugh, especially the latter, who laughed so hard that she couldn't catch her breath, "Eric, I just found out today that you are also a person who is inherently arrogant..."

Eric rolled his eyes speechlessly, feeling a bit embarrassed. Indeed, it was too arrogant to say that! Apart from the founding god, there was probably no other intelligent creature who could achieve his level of proficiency in spatial magic in just a few months, right?

After laughing for a while, Tan Ailing, who cared most about Eric, still couldn't help but ask, "Eric, what kind of countermeasures do you have?"

"My belt buckle is made of platinum, with a 'Disruptive Magic Array' engraved on it. It can disrupt the natural elements around me, making it impossible for master-level figures to use 'Spatial Confinement' on me..."

"Eric, doesn't that mean you can't use teleportation and other spatial magic?" Tang Feiyan asked.

"That's right."

"But..."

Eric interrupted Tan Ailing's words with a smile and said, "I have tattooed a fixed-point teleportation magic array on my body. This kind of positioning teleportation magic is not affected by the local natural elements. If things are urgent, I will immediately activate the magic array and teleport myself to the warehouse where Lusien and the others are stationed in Longhua Town! Don't worry, everything will be fine..."

Tan Ailing was about to ask again, but Tang Feiyan grabbed her and said, "Come on, Ailing, why are you being so nagging? Don't you trust Eric? If he says it's fine, then it's definitely fine. Even if there's a problem, it's just a small one..."

The tongue-twisting words made Tan Ailing smile dumbly. She gently pinched Tang Feiyan's cheek and said, "Eric, what are you planning to ask for from the Ming Dynasty family?"

"Something profitable..." Eric said without hesitation. "Otherwise, how will our family make a living in the future?"

As soon as Eric finished speaking, Tang Feiyan burst into laughter. Eric looked bewildered but found her staring at Tan Ailing, whose face was blushing.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Eric, you and Ailing really think alike!" Tang Feiyan laughed mischievously. "A few days ago, Ailing raised this issue and asked the Tan family for some of their properties!"

Eric looked at Tan Ailing, whose eyes were full of tenderness, and held her hand. "What did you ask for?"

"Thanks to you, the Tan family's influence now extends to Hebei. Grandfather was so happy that he transferred all the real estate in Shanghai to your name, saying it's my dowry..."

"In addition to this villa, there are also two commercial buildings, with a total value of over 300 million!" After Tang Feiyan finished, she looked resentful. "Eric, I'm not a rich woman like Ailing. I don't have any dowry... You won't look down on me, will you?"

"You little vixen..." Tan Ailing laughed and scolded Tang Feiyan, then pinched her face hard.

"Who do you think you are, being so arrogant to me..." Tang Feiyan said with a look of grievance, "I'm also a wife, you know!"

Tan Ailing was speechless and could only express her current mood with one word, "Go..."

Watching the two women laughing and joking, Eric couldn't help shaking his head. "Alright, you two, help me think about what properties the Ming Dynasty family has in Shanghai. We'll choose some profitable ones to support ourselves..."

"Exactly!" Tang Feiyan, who was being "bullied" by Tan Ailing, immediately responded. "It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal! Let's not choose the good ones, let's just choose the expensive ones... Ailing, Eric has spoken, so why don't you let me go and find the information..."

Tan Ailing gave Tang Feiyan another pinch before calling someone who knew about the situation. An hour later, all the information had been sorted out.
