The Housewife Is an Immortal Cultivator

by Catofdreams

  "Boss! We're going to continue!", one of them shouted at Mao Cheng and started cleaning as fast as he could. The others followed suit, which made Mao Cheng feel incredibly touched.

  "My men haven't given up yet… why should I, the leader, cower?!", Mao Cheng slapped himself and gained enough motivation to continue moving.

  "Madan Xue Yan, we will show you our power!", Mao Cheng shouted to the skies as he picked up a mop and started cleaning. His men shouted with him as if that was their battle cry. Even if they were fighting an uphill battle, they wouldn't be going down without a fight!

  "Sorry, boss…", Mao Cheng kowtowed in front of Xue Yan and her husband as they stood in front of the house and watched people working on the roof of their house.

  "Mao Cheng… what happened…?", Xue Yan felt incredibly angry and wanted to reprimand him, but since Lang Jie was around, she had to hold in her anger.

  "Boss… we won't make any excuses. While we were inspecting the roof, we made a careless mistake which made it collapse…", Mao Cheng continued kowtowing as he explained the situation.

  "Give us a day boss! By tomorrow, we'll make it look the same as usual… no… even better than before!", Mao Cheng begged Xue Yan for her mercy. His subordinates looked at him with pity as they knew their boss was doing it so they will all be spared. They all ran beside Mao Cheng and kowtowed with him.

  "Please, boss!", Mao Cheng's men begged alongside him.

  Xue Yan sighed and rubbed her eyebrows as she looked at the men in front of her begging for her forgiveness. First, she had to deal with the annoying couple, now she had to deal with her house being destroyed.

  "H-honey… just let it go! They seem to be willing to repent for whatever they did…", Lang Jie told his wife.

  "Okay, darling…", Xue Yan sighed in response as she listened to her husband. Since her husband said that it was okay, then it's okay.

  "Since my darling is kind enough to forgive you, I will give you another chance.", Xue Yan showed mercy towards her men.

  "Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss's husband!", they all shouted in unison as they expressed their gratefulness, especially towards Lang Jie, who they knew was the reason they were spared.

  They immediately went back to work, eager to fix their mistakes. Lang Jie watched in awe as he saw the men work with incredible coordination. Even professional construction companies didn't work at the efficiency that the men showed.

  "Wow, they're incredible! Are they from a construction company honey?", Lang Jie asked Xue Yan.

  "No… they're just thugs that dared to cause trouble, so this Venera- erm… I made them work for us in order to atone for their sins.", Xue Yan wanted to use her usual arrogant tone in front of her men, but she immediately realized that she was talking to Lang Jie, so she quickly retracted her arrogant tone.

  "Wow… you should start a construction company with them. They're pretty good.", Lang Jie told his wife as he continued watching in amazement.

  As the men continued working on the house, Mao Cheng rushed back towards the two.

  "Boss, I've found a place for both of you to stay in while we fix the house!", Mao Cheng told the two.

  "Oh, right… I forgot about that. We can't sleep here while they work, huh…", Lang Jie voiced out his thoughts.

  "Don't worry, boss's husband… I made sure to find a comfortable place where you and boss could spend quality time together.", Mao Cheng smiled as he knew that the place he booked would make the two feel happy and comfortable.

  He showed them the place he booked on his phone screen, which immediately filled both Lang Jie and Xue Yan with delight as they scrolled through the pictures of the place they were staying in.

  "I booked a room at one of the best hotels in the country. The place has a reputation for being a good place to spend a newlywed couple's honeymoon in.", Mao Cheng smiled as he called one of his men and pointed towards the car parked in front of their house.

  "We'll drive you there! Leave your luggage with us and we'll arrange everything before you arrive.", Mao Cheng politely told them. He knew that he had already succeeded in avoiding Xue Yan's wrath. He also had another motive when he booked an expensive room for them to stay in. He looked at Lang Jie's happy expression as he felt satisfied seeing the room that they'll be staying in. He has successfully won over her boss's beloved. This is a trump card they could use if ever they accidentally offend Xue Yan in the future.

  Xue Yan wasn't fully won over when she heard about the hotel, but when she heard her husband's words, she was immediately on board with the idea.

  "Ah… this place was where I wanted us to spend our honeymoon together, but I had no money back then, so I couldn't book a room...", Lang Jie sighed as he remembered the day after their marriage when he wanted to take his wife to a special place for their honeymoon, but he could only bring her back to his small apartment at the time since he had no proper job back then.

  "Let's go then, darling! It's not too late to fulfill our wishes!", Xue Yan dragged Lang Jie and got into the car. She felt incredibly excited as she heard her husband talk about the place sentimentally. As soon as her husband said that he wanted to take her there, the place immediately gained a positive reputation in Xue Yan's mind.

  "Thank you!", Lang Jie waved towards Mao Cheng, who gave Lang Jie a thumbs up in response.

  As Mao Cheng watched the car drive away to the distance, he went back into the house and faced his men.

  "The man beside our boss is the real boss. I now understand why we're called the Lang Jie Fanclub…", Mao Cheng sighed as he told his men about Lang Jie.

  "It's because of him that we get to keep our lives… we must work hard in order not to disappoint him!", Mao Cheng exclaimed.

  His men cheered as they started to work with newfound vigor.

  "For Boss Lang Jie!"

  That day, the first division of Lang Jie's Fanclub has truly cultivated a new sense of loyalty towards the man they were named after.

  CHAPTER 21 – “THE MARRIED COUPLE’S HONEYMOON THAT’S SIX YEARS OVERDUE”

  "Darling, do you like this kind of lifestyle?", Xue Yan asked her husband the same question she did back at the airport when they saw Jane and Yang Wei leave.

  "Honestly, honey, I do like it, but I feel like I might become a good-for-nothing if you continue treating me like this…", Lang Jie responded as the couple laid down on the rooftop of the hotel they were on. Both of them were getting massaged by the hotel's specialists, and the location they were relaxing in was quite luxurious.

  After Xue Yan heard about her husband wanting to bring her to the very hotel they were at for their honeymoon, she decided that she wanted to experience everything there was in the hotel. She wanted to see why her husband wanted to bring her there.

  "I don't mind if you become a good-for-nothing, darling. I'll take care of you…", Xue Yan told her husband as she felt extremely relaxed as she felt the pair of hands behind her press on the perfect spots. The scented candles that were lit around them also helped in making them both feel even more relaxed.

  "A-ah… I can't do that, honey. I want to be the one to take care of you since I want to prove myself as a man.", Lang Jie responded with a small laugh. The stiffness in his body quickly disappeared as his masseuse was able to push on the perfect places.

  "Okay, darling… but indulging ourselves in things like these isn't so bad every once in a while, right?", Xue Yan told her husband. At this rate, she was the one that wanted to become a good-for-nothing since the hotel staff did an incredible job of treating them well.

  Back at the Purple Lotus Hotel, they didn't notice their hospitality since they were always hanging out with the patriarch, and they also more fun outside compared to in the hotel. This time, they were completely focused on spending their mini-vacation there, so they noticed every detail.

  If Xue Yan could live every day relaxed just like this together with her husband, she wouldn't mind if the two of them rotted away being lazy bums, but she knew tha
t her husband wouldn't be on board with the idea.

  "It's finished, esteemed guests. We suggest that both of you try out our sauna. Although it is separated by gender, we can bend the rules for a bit and allow you two to go together since we don't have any other guests that applied for the spa treatment tonight.", a woman who wore a formal suit told them with a smile on her face. She had a feeling that the guests in front of her were incredibly important people, so she wanted to put on her best performance.

  "Oh my! Did you hear that, darling? Let's go!", Xue Yan felt incredibly excited as she heard about being able to go to the sauna together with her husband.

  "Ah, sure! Why not?", Lang Jie got up and wore the complimentary bathrobe that was given to them as soon as they signed up for the spa treatment. Xue Yan also had her own bathrobe, but she had a different plan. She took a white towel and decided to use it to cover her body as they made their way towards the sauna.

  Xue Yan had something she wanted tonight, and she will make sure that she'll get it.

  As the two of them entered the sauna, a staff member started pouring more rocks into the heater to raise the temperature. She also poured water on the rocks and created a steaming effect in the sauna.

  "Esteemed guests, if you want to raise the temperature, you can do so by adding more stones. If you want more steam, then you can add more water, which I will leave here.", the staff member pointed towards the materials that were placed beside the heater.

  "I will excuse myself. Please, do enjoy yourselves!", she bowed and left the sauna, leaving the married couple alone.

  This was the chance that Xue Yan was waiting for. She wanted to use this chance to show off her feminine charms.

  "Ah, this feels great… doesn't it honey?", Lang Jie asked his wife as he relaxed his body and started sweating. He looked at his wife and saw that she looked incredibly stunning.

  Beads of sweat ran down from the nape of her neck down to the small towel that barely covered her body. Small strands of hair poked out from the towel that was wrapped around her head, which seemed incredibly sexy for Lang Jie.

  "Ahh… it does…", Xue Yan sounded completely relaxed as she responded to Lang Jie. She took a peek at Lang Jie and saw that his face was completely flushed, and she knew that it wasn't due to the heat.

  She let out a mischievous smile as she knew that her plan had worked. Every detail that happened in the sauna room was being controlled by Xue Yan. The amount of water that generated steam and the amount of heat that was flowing in the room was well within her grasp. She chose the specific spot she sat on carefully in order to make his husband look at her from a specific angle, and every strand of hair that was poking out of her towel was all accounted for.

  Xue Yan wanted to receive her husband's love tonight, so she went all out to seduce him. She was extremely scary when she wanted something since she would go all out and controlled every factor that played a role in her plan directly.

  As she felt that her husband was getting embarrassed, she immediately started phase two of her plan.

  "Ah, I'm so sweaty…", she let out the words slowly, making it sound extremely seductive. She slowly unraveled the towel that covered her head, making her long hair flow out and naturally fall. Beads of her sweat sparkled as they fell down to the seat.

  Lang Jie couldn't help but be nervous as he looked at his wife's gorgeous figure. Although she had tried seducing him before, Lang Jie thought that she was far more beautiful this time.

  Of course, Xue Yan had a reason for trying so hard this time. When Lang Jie said that he wanted to celebrate their honeymoon here, she wanted the full package, so she's trying to make this as memorable as she could.

  "Darling, why don't you come closer?", Xue Yan looked at her husband and asked him in a seductive manner. She leaned forward a little bit in order to expose more of her body, which was still protected by a towel.

  "I-I'm fine over here…", Lang Jie averted her gaze and instinctively looked away from his wife. He couldn't bear the amount of sexiness that was radiating from Xue Yan. He felt that with the combination of the sauna's heat and his wife's seduction, his nose might start bleeding anytime soon.

  "Then I'll move closer to you darling…", Xue Yan stood up and made her way towards her husband, who was still looking away out of embarrassment. She took a seat beside him and leaned on his shoulder. She slightly lowered the room temperature so that her husband wouldn't jolt in surprise as he felt the heat in her body.

  As her bare skin came in direct contact with her husband, she could feel her husband flinch. She once again let out a mischievous smile as phase two of her plan succeeded.

  Phase three was the easiest, but it was the riskiest part of the plan. This time, she was going to wait in silence and stay put with her head on her and shoulder leaning towards her husband. She had to wait for her husband to make the first move since she had her dignity as a woman.

  The room was filled with nothing but the sound of the stones in the heater crackling from the heat. Xue Yan felt incredibly relaxed as she felt her husband's warmth.

  Suddenly, the fatigue she felt from the trip earlier take a toll on her. Although she was an immortal, the amount of annoyance and fatigue she felt as she dealt with Jane and Yang Wei was immense. She felt as if she was a normal mortal being tortured as she was forced to listen to every word they exchanged back in the plane for 14 whole hours.

  'Crap… this wasn't in the plan…', Xue Yan immediately thought as she tried to fight the fatigue that came in the form of sleepiness.

  Lang Jie noticed that Xue Yan was slightly moving around as if she was uneasy.

  "What's wrong honey?", Lang Jie asked Xue Yan, but her determination did not waver. She wanted to see the plan through.

  "Nothing, darling… I just feel so relaxed with you beside me.", Xue Yan responded. Although it didn't come out sounding the way she wanted to since her voice was a note higher than what she wanted, she thought that it was still good enough.

  "If you're tired, do you want to go back to our room? I think I've already sweated enough…", Lang Jie told his wife. He stole a few glances at her, and he couldn't help but blush as he had another motive.

  Xue Yan noticed her husband's slight movements and smiled as she thought that although the words her husband said were a bit different than what she expected, the effect was more or less the same.

  "Okay… let's go!", Xue Yan slowly got up in order to keep showing off her feminine charm. Although the plan had already achieved its intended effect, she was one that always saw her plans through to the very end.

  Lang Jie's face was now completely red as he completely fell for his wife's schemes. They walked out of the sauna together. Xue Yan held her husband's arm tightly as she knew that her wish was now about to get granted. The two of them went towards their locker rooms and wore a new pair of bathrobes.

  Xue Yan brought along all the necessary equipment for the battle. Inside her locker was her perfume and a small amount of make-up. She quickly applied the make-up and made it look as natural as possible and sprayed a little bit of perfume on her neck and wrists. She had to do it as fast as she could in order to make it seem like she simply changed her clothes and didn't do anything else. As soon as she finished, she threw away everything she brought with her in order to hide the evidence and quickly got out.

  "Sorry, it took a while…", Xue Yan came out and meekly said as she saw her husband waiting outside.

  As Lang Jie took a look at her, he noticed that she looked absolutely dazzling. He thought that maybe it was the detoxifying effects of the sauna that made her natural beauty stand out even more, but in reality, it was the power of make-up.

  "I-it's okay…", Lang Jie shyly responded as he couldn't say any more words since he was stunned by his wife's beauty.

  "Let's go!", Xue Yan grabbed her husband's arm again as they made their way towards their room.

  On the way there, they passed by a large window that showed the hotel's lounge. The
lounge looked empty except for the two receptionists that were on the hotel's front desk. In the middle of the lounge was a large circular garden that had a massive poplar tree in the middle. The moon shined over the tree, which made it look even more beautiful.

  "Ah, honey… do you mind if we visit another place before we go to our room?", Lang Jie had a sentimental look on his face as he stared out the window.

  Xue Yan wanted to refuse since it might cause the effects of her plan to diminish, but she could never say no to her husband.

  "Sure, darling. Where do you want to go?", Xue Yan asked her husband, who grabbed her hand and led the way. This was the first time Xue Yan saw her husband being so assertive. Normally, Lang Jie would just nonchalantly bring her to whatever he wanted her to see, but this time, she could feel that Lang Jie was completely determined to bring her to the place he wanted to go to.
