Urban Seduction: Housewives Club-Chapter 527: Passion on Horseback (1)
Perhaps because she was about to become a mother again, Liu Yiru now easily recalled memories of Ye Fei when he was a child.
This made her affection for him, which had almost entirely transformed, shift back a bit, becoming a mix of maternal love and romantic love. However, she didn’t mind this change because this blend of feelings felt much warmer and sweeter than any single type of emotion.
And! Liu Yiru thought shyly to herself, ever since she had been with him, she had always regarded him as a lover. Although she had continued using the old terms of endearment when things were good, she hadn’t thought of him that way in her heart.
But now, with this shift back, when they were together again, she would be with her son... That must feel even more intense, right?
Thinking this way, a peculiar blush spread across Liu Yiru’s pretty face, and a certain part of her body became moist. Hmm, it felt intense just thinking about it. Unable to contain herself, Liu Yiru couldn’t help but glance at Ye Fei with a coquettish look.
As their time together increased, the connection between Ye Fei and his mom became almost as strong as the innate telepathy he had with his younger sister. So, he very clearly sensed his mom’s excitement. However, with other plans in mind, he pretended not to notice and just urged, "Mom, let’s go. If we’re late, all the good horses will be taken."
Didn’t he get my hint? Liu Yiru couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. But her ocean-deep love for him made her choose to be understanding and she quickly followed along.
Ye Fei and his mom’s pace was incredibly fast. In no time, they covered the distance and arrived at the horse ranch marked on the map.
Fortunately, this place hadn’t been abandoned despite the increasing prevalence of modern transportation. Instead, it had a renewed look.
Seeing the large groups of horses divided into two sections and enclosed separately, Ye Fei felt an urge to get started. It wasn’t that he was particularly eager to ride a horse, but... hehe!
Upon noticing the arrival of guests, a manager from the ranch quickly approached with a beaming smile and asked, "Are you two here to buy horses?"
The manager was just an ordinary person, not a martial artist, so his attitude was very polite.
Of course, this ranch also had a strong backing. If someone dared to forcibly take a horse, they wouldn’t be so polite anymore.
Ye Fei, though knowledgeable in many areas, knew nothing about horse selection. After all, in this modern era, horses were rarely used outside of ranches. So, when he had absorbed a vast amount of knowledge, he hadn’t bothered to learn about this.
"Yes, boss. We don’t know much about horses. Could you please help us pick out the best two? Price is not an issue," Ye Fei said politely. Since he didn’t know anything about it, he had to rely on someone who did.
"Sure thing," the manager replied with a slight smile, then asked, "Which corral would you like the horses from?"
"What’s the difference between the two?" Liu Yiru asked, puzzled.
The manager, though just an ordinary person, was well-trained.
When faced with Liu Yiru’s stunning beauty, which completely shattered his image of what a beauty should look like, his eyes did flash with a moment of admiration.
But he quickly composed himself, quickly averted his gaze, and pointed to the two corrals, explaining, "The horses in the left corral are all tamed. They have no wildness left and run very steadily. The ones on the right, however, are wild horses we’ve just caught. Although they don’t have the advantages of the tamed ones, they are the first choice for customers who like adventure."
"Well..." Ye Fei looked to Liu Yiru for her opinion.
Liu Yiru smiled gently and said, "I think we should go with the tamed ones. Neither of us is good at riding, and our purpose is just to travel. There’s no need to choose something hard to control."
Ye Fei nodded, but then asked the manager, "Do these untamed horses bounce a lot when they run?"
"That’s natural," the manager replied honestly.

"After all, they haven’t been tamed, and they’ve never carried anyone before. They definitely won’t be very well-behaved."
Ye Fei’s eyes lit up. "Then let’s have one of each. I’d like to try out this wild horse."
"Alright, please follow me," the manager agreed and led the way inside. Ye Fei and Liu Yiru followed. Liu Yiru didn’t object to Ye Fei’s choice because with his skills, let alone a wild horse, even fierce beasts like lions and tigers wouldn’t pose any threat to him.
Upon reaching the corral, Liu Yiru quickly picked out a rather docile white horse. Although it wasn’t as majestic as Tang Yu’s Xiao Bai, it was tall and strong and would be considered a very good steed outside. Ye Fei, on the other hand, was drawn to a wild horse in the other corral.
This horse was pitch black except for its four snow-white legs, and it looked strikingly similar to the ancient famous horse "Wuyun Tiaoxue."
Seeing Ye Fei’s choice, the manager warned earnestly, "Sir, you should think it over. This horse has an extremely fierce temper and isn’t easy to tame."
Hearing this, Ye Fei became even more intrigued.
"Has no one ever been able to tame it before?"
"Well, it’s not that no one has tamed it. It’s just that no one has been willing to go through the trouble. After all, in this day and age, there are few places where horses are needed. And since you arrived early, the few sects and families that truly enjoy horseplay haven’t sent anyone yet, so it’s been left until now," the manager explained honestly.
Ye Fei thought about it and realized he had a point. Nowadays, except for those who rely on horses for a living, horses aren’t very useful.
Even if there were ancient famous horses that could travel a thousand miles, how could they compare to the convenience and speed of modern transportation like cars and airplanes?
However, what he was interested in wasn’t that. It was his upcoming plan. If it were an ordinary horse that would become docile in just a few moves, what fun would that be?
So, this seemingly "Wuyun Tiaoxue"-blooded wild horse was his top pick.
"Alright, I’ll take it. How much for these two horses?" Ye Fei asked directly, his gaze subtly shifting to his charming mom, feeling a growing warmth inside.
Seeing that Ye Fei was determined, the manager didn’t say anything more. After leading out the two horses and equipping them with saddles, he took Ye Fei to the payment area.
Ye Fei was taken aback when he saw the exorbitant price of 300,000 for the two horses and their gear. But he quickly understood. After all, martial artists were never short of money, and this place, which catered specifically to them, only made a profit every twenty years. So, the high price was quite normal.
After paying, the mother and son each led their chosen horses out of the ranch. Liu Yiru’s horse was very docile, but Ye Fei’s black horse was extremely unruly. It struggled fiercely along the way, sometimes even twisting its body as if trying to kick Ye Fei.
Ye Fei, however, didn’t care about its struggles. He simply pressed his hand on the horse’s back to keep it in line and said to Liu Yiru, "Mom, teach me how to ride now."
Liu Yiru gracefully mounted her horse and smiled, "It’s quite simple. Just sit up here like this. The rest is easy. With your abilities, you don’t need to worry about anything."
"Alright," Ye Fei promptly copied his mom, flipped onto the horse’s back, and shouted with vigor, "Let’s go!"
However, the black horse didn’t obey his commands. Unaccustomed to the extra weight on its back, the horse kept jumping and rearing, sometimes standing on its hind legs as if trying to throw Ye Fei off.
Ye Fei didn’t resort to using his powers. He just relied on his agility to deal with the wild horse. Even if he was thrown off, he would quickly flip back on. For a while, man and horse played together. Sometimes they made funny moves that made Liu Yiru laugh heartily as she followed closely behind on her horse.
After more than two hours, the black horse finally became a bit more manageable. But "manageable" only meant that Ye Fei could control the direction it moved in.
The horse still ran very roughly, and occasionally, when Ye Fei wasn’t paying attention, it would leap forcefully, seemingly trying to catch him off guard.
This made both mother and son quite surprised by its cleverness.
By this time, they had strayed far from the main path, but they didn’t mind. After all, their real goal wasn’t to attend some martial arts congress. Ye Fei just wanted to meet the local masters, so this journey was more like a sightseeing tour.
"Mom, how about we give this horse a try?" Seeing that the black horse was now somewhat rideable, Ye Fei decided to put his plan into action.
Liu Yiru shook her head gently. "Maybe not. That horse is too unruly. Let’s not risk hurting her," she said, looking happily at her abdomen.
