Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Just as Eric and the others decided to "fend for themselves", a white figure suddenly appeared at the staircase on the second floor.

Although they knew that there was no one in Sakya's ancestral temple who would harm the living Buddha, the four Tantric bodyguards still sprang into action to firmly protect Eric.

Eric looked up, and the figure turned out to be an extremely beautiful woman of extraordinary charm.

This young woman, who was definitely no more than eighteen years old, was wearing a milky-white long dress, with her jet-black, shiny long hair flowing like a waterfall. Her phoenix eyes had an upturned corner, filled with a gentle and tranquil gaze, and her fair and delicate face exuded a reverent and admiring expression.

Eric couldn't help but admit that this beauty was indeed one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, but he always felt that this beautiful woman was quite different from others, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Next to him, Tan Ailing sighed softly, "I never expected to see such a pure and tender girl in Tibet, completely without any characteristics of a highland woman..."

This mention of "characteristics" reminded Eric, and he finally realized where the difference of this beautiful woman lay!

Every woman has her own qualities, whether it's cold and aloof, elegant and refined, coquettish, or enchantingly seductive. But this ravishingly beautiful woman descending the stairs could not be easily grasped or categorized. For with each step she took, each brow she raised, each glance she cast, she exuded a different charm.

One moment she was a dignified and admirable lady, and the next she had transformed into a wanton and alluring siren!

Of course, ordinary people would not notice these subtle changes in her demeanor. In their eyes, she was simply an irresistibly beautiful woman. Only those with acute insight or exceptional spiritual perception could observe these hidden "truths".

"What an amazing seductive power!" Tan Ailing sighed again, "I didn't expect someone so young to have achieved such mastery..."

At this point, this ravishing beauty had come down the stairs and softly walked up to Eric, kneeling down gracefully and saying, "Your humble servant Sun Clouds pays respects to the Living Buddha!" Her voice was extremely pleasant, but it was hard to pinpoint exactly what made it so. All one knew was that this coquettish call sent tingles down one's spine and made one's heart flutter.

"Rise and speak." Eric looked Sun Clouds up and down and asked, "What is your identity?"

"I am the emissary of the Sun-Moon Sister Deities..."

In Sakya's pantheon of deities, they had the Black and White Protector Deities, and the Sun-Moon Sister Deities were the White Protector Deities. This was no stranger to Eric, who was familiar with Sakya's doctrines.

"So, what are you doing here?" She should be the "guide" to familiarize us with the environment, right? Although fairly certain of this notion, Eric still wanted to confirm.

"I'm here to serve the Living Buddha!"

Just as Eric was about to ask her to point out the location of the bedrooms so he could settle the drowsy little Feng Qian, Tan Ailing spoke up first, "What do you mean by 'serve'?"

Sun Clouds looked at Tan Ailing with a mysterious gaze, then lowered her eyes and replied, "Like you, I am also the 'Dharma Consort' of the Living Buddha."

"How come I don't know about this?" Tan Ailing was slightly taken aback, and Eric was also very surprised.

"The emissaries of the Sun-Moon Sister Deities are established specifically to practice the 'Joyful Samadhi' with the Living Buddha..." When speaking to Eric, Sun Clouds' demeanor and tone were entirely different from when she conversed with Tan Ailing.

Eric frowned slightly, just about to refuse, when the perceptive Sun Clouds quickly said, "My existence is solely for you, the Living Buddha. If you do not require me, then I can only return to the secret palace and live out my days underground..."

"Why do you say that?" Eric's bewilderment grew even greater.

"The cultivation method I practice is the prelude to the 'Joyful Samadhi'. Only I can help the Living Buddha perfect the 'Joyful Samadhi'..."

"That's not what I'm asking about." Eric interrupted Sun Clouds, "What I want to know is, why did you say that if I don't need you, you can only live out your days underground?"

Sun Clouds said with a somber gaze, "I belong to the lineage of the Sun-Moon Sister Deities, and I cultivate the 'Yin-Yang Conjugation Great Compassion Mantra'. This technique is a forbidden art, for women who master it will become 'beauties that bring calamity.' If the current Living Buddha is unwilling to practice the Joyful Samadhi, then the current emissary of the Sun-Moon Sister Deities who cultivates the 'Yin-Yang Conjugation Great Compassion Mantra' must return to the underground palace and remain there for life, to avoid bringing disaster to the world."

In modern society, there are still such incidents happening. Is the power of religious belief really so terrifying? Eric didn't have much feeling about this behavior, but Tan Ailing was quite emotional.

Sun Clouds suddenly prostrated herself on the ground again, but this time, she was kneeling in front of Tan Ailing. "Priestess, please let me stay in the mortal world..."

Tan Ailing was somewhat surprised as she helped her up. "You should talk to the Living Buddha about this. Why are you asking me?"

"The priests all say that your relationship with the Living Buddha is extraordinary, that you are someone who can speak to him..." Sun Clouds pleaded with slightly red eyes. "Priestess, I really don't want to go back to the underground palace. I want to see the blue sky and white clouds, I want to see green grass and red flowers..."

Thinking about how such a beautiful girl would have to live underground in the future, Tan Ailing softened her heart. She looked at Eric and said, "Eric, why don't we let her stay..."

Eric shrugged indifferently. "It's up to you." But then he added, "You'll have to explain to Feiyan later!"

Tan Ailing gave Eric a look and said mildly annoyed, "Feiyan just likes to play around, she's not really jealous. There's nothing to explain to her." After a moment of thought, she added, "Wu Mei won't mind these things either. The real trouble will be Yujie! When she comes out of seclusion and sees that you not only have an extra 'Wu Mei' but also a 'Sun Clouds', she'll probably explode immediately..."

"This is your mess, you deal with it, not me!" Eric said stubbornly.

"You caused all this trouble, how can you not deal with it?"

"Just as Feiyan said, you're the 'main wife', so you have to handle these things! Alright, Sun Clouds, take us to the bedroom..."

Watching Eric carry little Feng Qian upstairs, Tan Ailing shook her head helplessly and followed along resignedly.

Eric woke up from his meditation with a surprised look in his eyes because he felt a palpitation, as if something was calling him incessantly.

On his first night at the Sakya Monastery, Tan Ailing did not share a room with Eric but stayed in another room with little Feng Qian. So, without disturbing anyone, Eric followed his feelings and walked out of the Living Buddha's sleeping quarters.

In the spiritual energy field surrounded by the Tianlong Eight Parts, a Lama stood tall and straight. His skin looked like that of an eighteen-year-old, but his demeanor was that of an eighty-year-old, giving people a contradictory feeling, making it impossible to tell his true age.

Although he was sure he had never seen this Lama who seemed to be of indeterminate age before, Eric blurted out, "Xiarongbu..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

As he wondered why he had said that, the Lama also chuckled in a low, pleasant voice, "Hehe, long time no see, Chebu Zundanba!"

As soon as the words "Chebu Zundanba" came out, Eric immediately understood the meaning of the four words he had blurted out, "Are you the Xiarongbu Living Buddha of the Gelug sect?"

"Why, haven't you fully awakened yet?" Eric's question seemed to surprise the Xiarongbu Living Buddha slightly.

"Since you are a Living Buddha with great abilities, you should know that I am not the Chebu Zundanba Living Buddha of the Sakya sect..." Eric said in amazement.

The Xiarongbu Living Buddha smiled, "How could you not be Chebu Zundanba? Your spiritual imprint is exactly the same as his..."

"You can't have mistaken me for someone else..." Eric was now extremely skeptical of the "great abilities" of the Living Buddha he had heard about. He found it hard to believe that a Living Buddha with such "great abilities" could make such a low-level mistake as mistaking someone.

"Chebu Zundanba, I have a deep and long-standing friendship with you, how could I mistake your spiritual imprint!" The Xiarongbu Living Buddha looked at Eric and suddenly said, "Could it be that you are denying it because you have disabled my attendant's martial arts and are embarrassed to face me?"

Facing this Living Buddha who was revered by all, Eric was not the least bit uncomfortable.

Like an old friend, he rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't your attendant the Golden Wheel King of the Asura Sect? Hmph, he actually followed our Sakya's traitor and caused trouble. I haven't held you accountable for 'lack of control over your subordinates', so I've already treated you fairly. How can you still say that..."

Here, Eric suddenly realized his tone and couldn't help but furrow his brow.

The Xiarongbu Living Buddha laughed heartily. "Chebu Zundanba, you've finally revealed yourself! I see you're still pretending not to know me..."

"Well, this is strange. Could it be that I really am a Living Buddha? But I have absolutely no recollection..." Eric was now also a bit confused. "What's going on here? Who am I really?"

The Xiarongbu Living Buddha shook his head and sighed. "It seems you truly haven't awakened. Forget it, let me help you out..."
