Conquest of Taboo and Debauchery

Chapter 133: 133: Preparation for funeral

"Xiaoman, you should never have let Ye Yu go!" Xu Shuyun's voice, usually gentle and composed, was now filled with bitterness and hatred. She couldn't fathom how Ye Yu, whom she had raised as her own, could commit such a vile betrayal. The mere thought of it only intensified her loathing.

"I've already killed him." Ye Fei's voice was tinged with regret. "It's all my fault. I knew about his ambitions long ago but didn't act sooner. If I had, we wouldn't be facing this tragedy today."

Xu Shuyun wiped her tears as she responded, "It's not your fault. Even if you had tried to stop him earlier, your uncle would never have agreed." But as soon as she mentioned Ye Lingtian, the tears she had just held back began to flow once more.

Ye Fei gently wiped her tears and said firmly, "There were more people behind Ye Yu, and I will find them. I swear I'll avenge Uncle."

Concern flashed across Xu Shuyun's face. If someone as dangerous as Ye Yu was merely a pawn, it meant the true mastermind was someone far more powerful. Her heart clenched with fear for Ye Fei's safety. "Xiaoman, please don't act recklessly. Your uncle is gone, and I don't want to lose you too. The Ye family needs you now more than ever."

Ye Fei wrapped his arms around her, offering comfort. "Don't worry, Aunt. I won't make any moves unless I'm sure."

Hearing his promise, Xu Shuyun finally began to relax. Exhausted from crying, she found some peace in Ye Fei's arms and drifted off to sleep. Across from them, Ye Jing had already succumbed to her own fatigue and was fast asleep.

With the two women, one mature and the other youthful, resting against him, Ye Fei surprisingly found himself free of any impure thoughts. His mind was entirely occupied with plans for the future and how best to protect his family. Deep in thought, he too eventually fell asleep.

The next morning, all three of them woke up one by one. Despite having slept sitting up all night, Xu Shuyun and Ye Jing didn't feel discomfort, thanks to the subtle adjustments Ye Fei had made for their comfort.

After a night of rest, though Ye Jing still wept intermittently, Xu Shuyun was in better spirits and ready to discuss Ye Lingtian's funeral arrangements with Ye Fei.

Xu Shuyun initially wanted to keep the funeral simple and private, involving only close family members. However, Ye Fei disagreed. He wanted to hold a grand funeral, not only to honor Ye Lingtian as a hero but also to observe how the other gangs and forces in Wanghai would react.

Ye Fei had transformed. He was no longer the boy who sat quietly on the sidelines. Now, he was prepared to expose the hidden enemies of the Ye family, eliminate them, and bring all of Wanghai's underground under his direct control.

That day, Ye Fei didn't go to school. Instead, he visited the Dynasty Club, the headquarters of Lingyun society to familiarize himself with the gang members. Most of them had heard of Ye Fei's status as the true heir of the Ye family, but they had little personal experience with him.

His sudden takeover of the gang stirred resentment among some, though they kept their thoughts to themselves out of respect for Zhang Yide. Still, their contempt was clear in their eyes.

Ye Fei, however, didn't take their dissatisfaction to heart. He understood it was a natural reaction. He was confident that with time, his actions would prove his worth and win them over.

By evening, Ye Fei had finished at the headquarters and returned to Ye Lingtian's home. He expected a quiet atmosphere and some arrangement for funeral, but as soon as he entered the living room, he was greeted by a lively scene.

The small room was filled with beautiful women. His mother, Liu Yiru, was there, as were his aunts Liu Fengyi, Liu Junyi, Ye Ningshuang, Ye Ningxue, and Ye Ningbing. His sisters Ye Siqi, Ye Siyao, Ye Yunying, and Ye Yunqi were also present, along with Xiao Hanyue and Lin Ling.

Even though he had grown up surrounded by these stunning women, seeing them all gathered together made Ye Fei pause in admiration. These were the most remarkable beauties in Wanghai, and they were all intimately connected to him.

As Ye Fei entered, the conversation in the room stopped, and all eyes turned toward him, full of pride and affection. Even the youngest ones, like Ye Yunqi and Lin Ling, gazed at him with admiration.

Liu Yiru waved him over, patting the seat beside her and Xu Shuyun. "Xiaoman, you've really impressed your mother," she said with a smile, her tone filled with pride. Her son had truly come into his own.

Ye Yunying chimed in with her usual playful energy, "Little brother, you've done amazing. I'm not even as good as you! But don't get too cocky—I'll surprise everyone someday." She seemed to have put the earlier tension between her and Ye Fei behind her, speaking to him as casually as she used to.

One by one, the women began showering Ye Fei with compliments, making him feel slightly embarrassed but warm inside.

As night fell and dinner concluded, the women gradually left, though Xu Shuyun and Ye Jing remained. Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi moved from their small courtyard to Ye Lingtian's home to provide support for Xu Shuyun and Ye Jing.

Ye Yunqi wasn't particularly pleased about the move. The courtyard held many memories of passion and sweetness for her, but she was sensible enough to understand that her aunt and cousin needed them now.

With the comforting presence of the women, Xu Shuyun seemed more composed than she had been in the morning, and Ye Jing even managed to share a few jokes with Ye Yunqi. Though sadness still lingered, Ye Fei knew their grief would fade with time.

After some time spent chatting with the women, Ye Fei urged them to rest early. Tomorrow would be a long day—the funeral would demand both physical and emotional strength.

Ye Yunqi had her own room upstairs, but Ye Fei suggested she sleep with Ye Jing. The poor girl needed someone by her side.

Although a little disappointed, Ye Yunqi obediently took Ye Jing to bed. Once Xu Shuyun and Ye Fei discussed the final details of the funeral arrangements, she too retired to her room for the night.

Ye Fei went to his room upstairs, made a quick call to Zhang Yide to ensure everything was in place for tomorrow, and then went to bed. He wanted to be fully rested for the day ahead, ready to face any potential challenges that are certain to appear tomorrow during the funeral.
