The Housewife Is an Immortal Cultivator

by Catofdreams

  As they continued walking, the people tailing them continued sending reports towards Jane.

  “Everything’s proceeding smoothly without a hitch, ma’am.”, one of the men relayed the status of the current situation towards Jane.

  “Good, good. Tell everyone to get ready.”, Jane relayed her orders.

  The mood in the area immediately changed as everyone prepared to fulfill their roles. The civilians that had fatigued looks on their faces immediately put on smiles and acted as if they were strangers. The places that Jane planned to visit with Xue Yan also started preparing for their visit.

  A few minutes later, Xue Yan arrived at the meeting place together with Lei Wu.

  “Xue Yan! It’s been a while!”, Jane had a large smile on her face as she was sincerely happy to meet her friend.

  “Jane! I also missed you quite a bit!”, Xue Yan smiled and gave Jane a hug.

  As the two of them finished exchanging their greetings, Xue Yan started to introduce the person with her.

  “Ah! This is Lei Wu. She’s a friend of mine, but I consider her more of a sister, or maybe even a daughter.”, Xue Yan proudly introduced the beautiful woman beside her to Jane.

  ‘Oh… so that’s what that report meant…’, Jane thought to herself as she remembered the incredibly vague report that came in earlier. She then realized that she’s been silent for a few seconds too long, so she immediately started talking again.

  “Oh my! She’s just as beautiful as you! I’m Jane Kang.”, Jane introduced herself to Lei Wu.

  Lei Wu felt flattered as she heard Jane’s words. She thought that she wasn’t too bad for a mortal.

  “Thank you! You’re plenty beautiful yourself Miss Kang!”, Lei Wu happily responded.

  “Oh dear… just call me Jane! After all, the friend of my friend is also my friend!”, Jane told Lei Wu with a face full of smiles.

  As the three of them continued chattering, they all walked in the mall. Each and every person in the mall felt nervous since this was what they practiced for the entire night. They wanted to do a good job in order to please their boss, so they were going to give it their all.

  The day proceeded handsomely. The three of them had fun shopping in the mall. Xue Yan was a bit confused seeing how there were plenty of new stores that suddenly opened, as well as how every store seemed to have something that she liked, but she didn’t pay much attention to it. She was just happy that she was having fun with her friends.

  Many hours passed by as the three of them continued having fun. As they sat in a café to have some snacks, Jane checked her phone to see if there was any trouble brewing. She told her men to send her a message if something happened, so she had to check every now and then.

  She hoped that there wouldn’t be any bad reports since everything was going well, but another bump in her plan has popped up.

  Her men sent her a message that just made her plan just a bit more unreliable than before, but no matter how small it is, unreliability is unreliability, so Jane felt worried.

  “Ma’am, target number two has met with another person. Yang Wei was about to bring him out to prepare the target to ask for forgiveness, but before he could do so, the person that he met said that he would take care of it.”

  “Who is this man that Lang Jie met?”, Jane immediately messaged back, curious to see as to who was this person that managed to stop her lover from fulfilling her wish.

  “He’s… the C.E.O. of the Purple Lotus Group… Wen Cheng.”

  “Brother Cheng, are you sure all of this is necessary?”

  Lang Jie sat in a barbershop, about to get his hair cut. Wen Cheng’s original plan was to just take Lang Jie to have fun someplace else rather than worry about his problems, but when he asked Lang Jie to come with him, Lane Jie immediately replied:

  “Sorry Brother Cheng… but I have to make up with my wife today since I don’t like it when the two of us argue…”

  Wen Cheng felt proud as he heard Lang Jie’s words. He cursed himself for thinking that running away was the best option. If he really was a man, then he should support Lang Jie and tell him to face his problems instead of escaping.

  That was when he decided to extend his hand and help Lang Jie make a grand apology towards his wife. In his mind, he remembered the three things that women wanted in a man, which all came from reading multiple books about the topic, not from his experience in dating since that is practically non-existent.

  First, how the man looks is important, which is why he brought Lang Jie to a barbershop owned by the Purple Lotus Group. Next, he planned to get him a new suit in a tailoring shop, which is also owned by the Purple Lotus Group.

  Second, the man’s strength. Since Wen Cheng was old, his way of thinking was also old-fashioned. He remembered that the women of his time absolutely adored strong men, so he planned to channel his qi towards Lang Jie. Lang Jie would gain a massive amount of power since he already started the path of cultivation, so the power was something he can now use.

  Wen Cheng knew what to do about the first two, but for the third one, he knew that he couldn’t do anything to help his brother. After all, the third one is the man’s way with words. Lang Jie is Xue Yan’s wife, and he has spent the most time with her compared to everyone else, so he should know what the best things are to say.

  “Yes, yes. After all, you must be at your best appearance if you want a higher success rate with your apology, Brother Jie.”, Wen Cheng replied with confidence.

  “Alright, if you say so, Brother Cheng!”, Lang Jie was happy to receive practical advice. He knew he had to apologize to his wife, but he only thought of what to say. Wen Cheng was right to tell him to prepare a bit more so that the chance of his apology being rejected would slowly disappear.

  As Lang Jie’s hair was getting cut, Yang Wei arrived in the barbershop. He received a message from Jane saying that he should accompany both Wen Cheng and Lang Jie in case something goes wrong.

  Yang Wei was shocked to see the difference as Lang Jie stood up.

  “How do I look? Is it weird?”, Lang Jie asked both Wen Cheng and Yang Wei.

  “N-no… actually… you look a lot better than usual.”, Yang Wei expressed his honest opinion. Wen Cheng nodded in agreement. Lang Jie’s appearance was indeed a lot better than his previous one.

  “We have no time to waste Brother Jie. We need to get the finishing touches in.”, Wen Cheng told Lang Jie as he led him towards the tailoring shop just across the barbershop they were in.

  As soon as they came in, the people in the store rushed towards them and immediately took Lang Jie’s measurements.

  It didn’t even take long before they finished preparing a suit.

  “I-Is that even possible…?”, Yang Wei couldn’t help but feel shocked at the speed at which everything happened.

  “I learned about it recently, but in this world, there is something that will make everything possible. It just so happens that I have that something.”, Wen Cheng responded towards Yang Wei as he watched Lang Jie wear his brand new tailored suit.

  “Oh? What is it, Brother Cheng?”, Yang Wei asked. He was really curious as to what it was that made everything possible.

  Wen Cheng smiled at Yang Wei.

  “It’s money.”, Wen Cheng looked at Yang Wei with a smug look and made an okay sign with his hand.

  “How is it? Is it good?”, Lang Jie interrupted the two’s conversation and asked them about his appearance.

  “Lang Jie…”, Yang Wei responded.

  “What is it?”, Lang Jie felt nervous as he heard Yang Wei call his name. Yang Wei pointed towards him and smiled.

  “If your wife sees you now, she’s going to fall in love with you all over again.”, Yang Wei told Lang Jie. He really was pleased about how Lang Jie looked now. In fact, he even thought about getting a make-over himself, but that was something to do on another day.

  “Alright, Brother Jie, come here.”, Wen Cheng gestured for Lang Jie to come closer. Lang Jie immediate
ly obliged as he felt grateful towards his boss for helping him today.

  “I’ll give you some of my qi. Use it to show off in front of Xue Yan.”, Wen Cheng told him.

  He expected Lang Jie to accept his offer, but his expectations were far from how Lang Jie reacted.

  Lang Jie shook his head and smiled towards Wen Cheng.

  “Don’t worry about that Brother Cheng. I’ve already decided that I will work on my cultivation by myself. Also, what good would showing off in front of one of the most powerful cultivators do?”, Lang Jie responded as he ended his words with a laugh.

  Wen Cheng couldn’t help but feel proud. Although Lang Jie was weak right now, he knew that with his conviction, he had the power to reach great heights. Lang Jie was indeed a man amongst men.

  Wen Cheng laughed with Lang Jie. He put his hand on Lang Jie’s shoulder.

  “You’re already ready. Go and win this battle. I’ll be waiting for news of your victory.”, he smiled towards Lang Jie and expressed how proud he was of him.

  “Thank you, Brother Cheng! I won’t disappoint you!”, Lang Jie responded and bowed towards Wen Cheng to express his gratitude. He then made his way towards Yang Wei, who had just received a message from Jane.

  “Lang Jie! Do you want to go meet Xue Yan now while you still look fresh? Jane just told me that they’re together.”, Yang Wei reported to his friend.

  “Sure. The sooner I get this over with, the better!”, Lang Jie eagerly responded. He wanted to finally make up with his wife who he missed dearly.

  As the two of them were about to leave the store, Lang Jie looked back towards Wen Cheng, who was waving at them as if to bid farewell.

  “Brother Cheng! Next time, you should join us when we have a drink!”, Lang Jie told Wen Cheng.

  “Sure. Just tell me and I’ll be there.”, Wen Cheng responded.

  As the two of them left the store, Wen Cheng couldn’t help but think about Lang Jie’s choice of words.

  “… did he know I was there last night when they were drinking?”

  “The target is on his way together with Yang Wei. Wen Cheng isn’t with them anymore.”

  Another report came in Jane’s inbox. Jane felt incredibly relieved as she heard the good news.

  “How long will it take before they’ll arrive?”, Jane messaged back.

  As she continued talking with her two companions, she checked her phone often, wondering why her men aren’t responding as quickly as they usually do.

  Moments later, another piece of bad news came.

  “Boss! He’s already outside the mall!”, the report made Jane’s head throb. She instantly messaged Yang Wei to see what was going on, as well as asked the men what happened.

  “Wen Cheng came before they were able to find a cab to ride. The last thing I heard was Wen Cheng talking about some sort of shortcut. After that, we lost them.”, the report came in quickly.

  Jane wondered what kind of trick Wen Cheng pulled in order to make it happen. She also had no idea why Wen Cheng was pulling this trick at all. Why is he meddling with the married couple’s affairs?

  Although she had a lot of questions in her mind, she knew that she had no time to think about it anymore. She had to give the order to prepare the grand plan she had. She planned for a band to play romantic music as flower petals fall from the sky while Lang Jie held a hundred roses in his hand as he apologizes towards Xue Yan.

  As Jane was about to send the order to commence the plan to her men, she received a message from Yang Wei.

  “Baby, you don’t have to worry about anything. Lang Jie has everything under control. We can just trust him, and everything will turn out fine.”

  As Jane received his message, he saw Lang Jie in a new light. He thought that he might find it difficult to properly apologize to Xue Yan since he didn’t do it right away when he made the mistake, but when she read Yang Wei’s message, for some reason, she believed him.

  Although she was touched, it still wasn’t enough for her to back down. She was still determined to send the order to commence the plan, but before the could do so, another message from Yang Wei arrived.

  “Don’t do anything weird, okay? Just let them handle it and leave them alone lol.”

  Jane bit her lip and closed her eyes as she read the message. As much as she wanted to go through with the plan, she could never say no to Yang Wei, so all she could do was relay a different order.

  “Abort the plan for the apology. When the two of them meet, everyone just move away and leave the area they’re in.”, Jane sent her new order immediately.

  She immediately removed the troubled expression she had on her face and reverted it back to the face she makes when she’s having fun. She then continued talking with Xue Yan and Lei Wu as if nothing happened, but she was still feeling incredibly worried about the situation.

  As the last bit of their drinks were finished, Jane’s phone started ringing. She received a call instead of a message. As soon as she saw Yang Wei’s contact name on the screen, she immediately answered.

  “Hello?”

  “Jane? Lang Jie and I are pretty close. We can see you from here. Can you make some space for Lang Jie and Xue Yan to be alone?”, Yang Wei asked Jane.

  Jane couldn’t help but smile. Although she doesn’t trust the things that happen when a plan goes haywire, there was one thing she could trust unconditionally, and that was Yang Wei.

  As soon as she realized that, she knew that she really was overdoing things. If she felt that way towards Yang Wei, then perhaps Xue Yan felt the same way towards Lang Jie.

  “Okay, no problem.”, Jane responded and hung up.

  “Lei Wu, can you come with me for a bit? There’s something I want to ask you.”, Jane stood up and hurriedly pulled Lei Wu, who was incredibly oblivious as to what was happening.

  “W-what is it?”, Lei Wu asked Jane with a flustered voice as she felt surprised as to how strong Jane was despite being a mortal. Jane was easily pulling her away from her seat.

  Xue Yan was about to say that she wanted to go with them, but she suddenly felt the familiar aura of the person most dear to her. She immediately smiled and realized what was happening.

  “Lei Wu, you should go with her. I’ll wait for you guys here.”, Xue Yan acted as if she had no idea what was going on and smiled towards them. Lei Wu was reluctant to agree, but since her master told her to go, she followed her order.

  As soon as they left, the area was covered in silence for a while as Xue Yan sat alone.

  “Honey…”

  Lang Jie’s voice broke the silence. Xue Yan felt her heart flutter as she heard Lang Jie’s voice. She immediately turned around and looked at where the voice came from.

  As she laid her eyes on Lang Jie, she felt her heart going wild. The man she loved looked incredible. She thanked the heavens for giving her the chance to feast her eyes on the treat before her.

  “Darling!”, Xue Yan couldn’t help but stand up. She immediately ran towards Lang Jie and leaped straight into his arms.

  As the two held each other in their embrace, the next few words would finally seal the last bit of bad aura between the two.

  “I’m sorry, honey. I know I was wrong for acting that way, but I just really wanted to put a lot of effort into cultivating so that I could do it with you.”

  Lang Jie expressed his sincere apology, which made Xue Yan incredibly happy as she heard it come from her husband’s mouth.

  “It’s fine, darling… perhaps I was being too harsh on you too… I’m sorry for that as well…”, Xue Yan also apologized to her husband.

  As the two of them were basking in each other’s love, Yang Wei, Jane, and Lei Wu were all watching the two from a distance. The three of them silently celebrated the couple making up.

  “Baby… you worked so hard to make this happen… you’re such a diligent person!”, Yang Wei started flirting with Jane, who looked incredibly happy as she heard her lover’s words.

  As the two of them
started flirting, Lei Wu looked at the two of them with a disgusted expression on her face. She looked back towards Lang Jie and Xue Yan, who were both still living in their own space.

  She sighed and thought to herself:

  “Maybe I should get myself a man…”

  As the housewife finally feels her husband’s warm hug after a small conflict, she realized that there really is nothing else that could make her happier. No matter how big a wall stands before them, she knew that the two of them could easily overcome it.
