Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

It wasn't until they returned home for dinner and were in the study that Ye Yunqi looked at Ye Fei with a hint of desire in her eyes. The way Ye Fei had made her feel comfortable a few days ago had left her somewhat addicted to that feeling. So, when the two were alone, her desire resurfaced.

From her little sister's gaze, Ye Fei understood what she wanted. But thinking about the morning's events, he couldn't help but hesitate. Pretending not to notice her longing gaze mixed with a hint of pleading, he cleared his throat and said, "I'm feeling a bit unwell. I'll go rest."

Ye Yunqi felt a bit disappointed, but considering that he had seemed off all day, she thought he might really be unwell. She asked with concern, "Are you sure you're okay?"

Ye Fei shook his head, "I just feel tired. I'll be fine after a nap. Can you help me with my homework?"

"No problem!" Ye Yunqi readily agreed, asking once more, "Are you really okay?"

"I am. I know my own body. I'll be fine," Ye Fei smiled, got up, and went back to his room.

Watching Ye Fei's retreating figure, Ye Yunqi fell into a daze. She felt that something was off about herself, a feeling that only arose when facing Ye Fei. While she had always cared deeply for him, she had never felt this way before.

The previous Ye Yunqi had never experienced this sense of uncertainty or speculated about what Ye Fei was thinking. But now, things were different. If Ye Fei seemed even slightly off, she couldn't help but start overthinking, wondering if she had done something wrong and if he would ignore her. She was a smart girl, and upon a moment of calm reflection, she felt a sense of unease. Her behavior seemed so much like what she had read about in books regarding girls falling in love.

Thinking back to the sour feeling she had when she saw him getting close to Lin Ling during the day, Ye Yunqi was almost certain. She couldn't help but feel a bit confused. How could she have such thoughts? But this feeling was quite pleasant, guarding a small secret in her heart, secretly guessing his thoughts, giving her a sweet sense of happiness that she had never experienced before, something her mother and sisters couldn't provide.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ye Fei once again fell into contemplation. His little sister's eyes just now had solidified his resolve. He couldn't continue like this. This cursed body not only needed protection from his family but also couldn't even fulfill his little sister's small requests. Though he could do things for her without her doing the same for him, thinking of her behavior that morning, Ye Fei knew that if he did that, his little sister wouldn't feel good either.

After making up his mind, Ye Fei took out the large box from the bedside table, assembled it, locked the door of his room from the inside, turned off the lights, and pretended to be asleep to prevent his little sister from worrying and coming to knock on the door.

Prepared, Ye Fei crawled into the homemade virtual box, started the game, feeling the explosive power within him. His confidence grew stronger; this time, it was do or die!

Yes, he was about to activate his homemade device for brain domain development and wanted to simulate the strength of the barbarians in the game, transforming himself into a true barbarian.

After activating the device inside, Ye Fei lay quietly, waiting for his transformation. At this moment, his heart was surprisingly calm because he knew that when he emerged from this box, he would either become extremely powerful or be a fool or dead.

After waiting for a long time without feeling anything, just as he thought the contraption he had set up was ineffective, a tingling sensation spread throughout his body. Then, a strange electric-like force entered his brain. In an instant, his head seemed to explode, the intense pain almost making him lose consciousness.

Fortunately, over the years, his will had been honed to extreme toughness due to his physical condition. Although the pain in his brain made him feel like he was about to die, he endured it.

As time passed, the pain in Ye Fei's brain gradually weakened. Now, even if he wanted to faint, it seemed impossible because the pain made his consciousness clearer. It seemed to have a protective effect, keeping his mind from becoming blurred due to the intense pain.

After an uncertain amount of time, the painful sensation in Ye Fei's brain slowly diminished, replaced by an indescribable feeling. One thing was certain — he now felt unprecedentedly clear-headed, his mind much sharper than usual. Overjoyed, he realized he had succeeded, but he didn't know if this success would make him stronger.

Fate seemed to enjoy playing tricks on Ye Fei. Just when he thought he had succeeded and everything was about to end, a more powerful pain arose in his brain, accompanied by a sudden influx of familiar yet unfamiliar things into his consciousness. These things felt familiar because he had used them countless times in the game, but he never imagined they would appear in his mind so vividly. These things were the skills of the barbarians in the game. Despite not seeing any data due to it being his own body, Ye Fei could unmistakably feel that he could use these skills, yes, even in reality.

Could he really possess the strength of a barbarian in reality? Ye Fei was thrilled, yet also somewhat uneasy. With such a change in his body, was he still human?
