Xianxia’s Working Emperor Chapter 5

Chapter 5:Just a bit not careful then live together!

Housekeeper Liu was furious, his eyebrows shook vigorously, his beard was trembling.  His dead fish eyes were staring at Lu Feng, “ You dirty beggar, don’t think I don’t know about your background!  You are nothing but a beggar being sheltered by the immortal. Let me inform you, you’d best not be so arrogant, otherwise you won’t even know how you died.”

Lu Feng unflinchingly replied, “Oh?  Then how does housekeeper Liu intend to kill me?”  Housekeeper Liu glared daggers at Lu Feng, “You, you just wait for me.”  After which he snorted and left.

The bodyguards were delighted to see Housekeeper Liu so enraged, but Ye Gu frowned and said “Future Young Master, I’m afraid you’re in a bit of a pickle.”

Lu Feng wasn’t born yesterday, hence he knew that the magnitude of his offence was not small.  However, he laughed, and retorted ”You’re already calling me Future Young Master, so how can he still not accept that?”

Ye Gu looked around, seemingly afraid that someone was eavesdropping.  Lu Feng said curiously, “Did something happen?”  Ye Gu gestured for Lu Feng to come towards him, then Ye Gu whispered to Lu Feng, “It is said that housekeeper Liu extremely hates you.”

Lu Feng’s face was blank, but then he forced a smile, “Could it be that he can still control the Bai Family head?”  Ye Gu looked at the surroundings with shifty-eyes, “Let me tell you, there are people who tell me that the housekeeper is very close with the second family and the first family of Qinglong Town.  These two families are on bad terms with us, the Bai Family.  There were even people who said that some from those two families wish to disrupt the wedding tomorrow.

Lu Feng did not understand. “Disrupt the wedding?  Why would they want to disrupt the wedding?  Does marrying off the Bai Family’s daughter still not satisfy them?”  Ye Gu immediately said, “Of course not.  The daughter of the Bai Family is no small matter.  After all, the Bai Family is one of the three most influential families in Qinglong Town.  It’s only been recently where the two other families joined forces, causing the Bai Family’s influence on Qinglong Town to shrink.”

Lu Feng let out an “Oh,” and said, “Could you get detailed information about these families and give it to me?”  Ye Gu was puzzled, “Young Master, what are you planning to do?”  Lu Feng smiled, “Know yourself and you know your enemy, then you can emerge victorious.”

“Emerge victorious?”  Ye Gu seemed lost at what Lu Feng was saying.  Lu Feng merely muttered a few things, and went to the yard by himself.  He had to get the house built before night time otherwise it would become quite chilly.

As Ye Gu gave the information of the two families to Lu Feng on a slip of paper, he spent his free time to look into the families. Lu Feng muttered to himself,” The first family is the Tian Family. The second family is the Xia Family.” After looking through thoroughly, with his eyes flashing he mumbled, “I need to find a way back to the mountains and find out if Old Man has any self defense thing. Otherwise, if there is any trouble in the marriage then I would definitely get slaughtered.”

Lu Feng organised his thoughts as he continued to work until the night.  Lu Feng took a green stone that was flashing and placed it all around as he reluctantly continued to work in the dark.  According to this world, the stones are universally termed as low-grade spirit stones.

In this ordinary town, most houses use these stones as lamps.  Lu Feng looked at these stones and muttered, “Isn’t this only as bright as a firefly?”  Then next door there was a bright flashing green light, Lu Feng knew that with the light, required using spirit stones and processing them to make a spirit lamp.

By the spirit lamp, Lu Feng could see at Miss Bai’s house was a figure sitting down cross legged.  As though he was seeing illusions.  He said to himself, “Sooner or later, I will sleep at my house. En, it’s decided.”

Whilst Lu Feng continued working, from next door Miss Bai would occasionally peek at Lu Feng and whisper, “This guy has been building his wooden house for a day already, and still haven’t finished.  Really, what a trash.”

Miss Bai helplessly sighed, then continued sitting cross legged.  Lu Feng continued working till the next morning.  Miss Bai looked through the window, intending to see what state Lu Feng’s house was in.  Except all she saw was a large cloth covering the house, so she did not know what was happening.

At this moment, Lu Feng was in the house lying down on a comfortable bed.  This was so much more comfortable than sleeping on the stone bed.  Then Miss Bai’s clear voice rang out. “Are you in?”

Lu Feng quickly started climbing out, stumbling, he thought, “So early?”  After not hearing a response, Miss Bai then frowned and said, “Are you finally dead, or still alive?”

Lu Feng hurriedly ran out, then came out through the slips of the fabric. Seeing Miss Bai’s look of contempt, Lu Feng laughed out loud “Miss Bai, Good morning.”

Miss Bai saw the monstrosity and asked, ”What in the world are you trying to do?”  Lu Feng glanced behind him at his own work and chuckled. “I’m obviously trying to make the perfect wooden hut,” he said.

But Miss Bai didn’t understand.  “How do you think you’re qualified to make a perfect wooden house? Seems impossible to me.”  Lu Feng heard Miss Bai’s dispiriting comments and smiled back, saying ”How ‘bout we make a bet?”

“Want to make a bet again?”

Lu Feng saw Miss Bai’s doubtful eyes, he asked “How?  Don’t dare?”  Miss Bai coldly said, “Why would I be scared?”

Miss Bai added “Then I’ll win this bet without question.”  However, Lu Feng said with confidence, ”Then keep your eyes peeled, Miss Bai.”  With a swift motion, Lu Feng grabbed the cloth and pulled, slowly revealing the wooden house.

Young lady Bai was stunned, her eyes were motionless, staring at the wooden house before her.  Yet Lu Feng continued to introduce it to her, “This is a small wooden villa.  See, there’s even a balcony, you could stand there and sight-see. By the way, you can also put flower pots here, wait for me to get beautiful flowers and plants, yes, it’s definitely gonna look beautiful.”

Miss Bai now stood in silence, and then asked “What’s a villa?”  Lu Feng seemed surprised.  “Don’t you know what a villa is?”  Miss Bai shook her head, and it was at that moment, Lu Feng realised that normal descriptive language was not used in this place as it was not applicable.  Hence, Lu Feng could only say ”This is a luxurious wooden house.  Just know that it is very interesting, and the inside of the house is even more luxurious than outside.”

Miss Bai couldn’t help but enter, and saw only a wooden bed, wooden table, wooden cabinet, wooden chair, wooden desk, there was everything, more importantly, there was also a spiral staircase inside, she stood there in disbelief, and asked, “Did you do all this?”

“Yep.”

Miss Bai then said, “Ok, from today onwards, this is mine.” Lu Feng was shocked, “What?”  Miss Bai stared, and asked, “Is there any problem?”  Lu Feng hesitantly said, “If you stay here, then where will I stay.”

Miss Bai hesitated for a moment, “How about this,  I’ll stay on the upper floor, while you stay at the bottom floor. If you don’t have my permission, you’re not allowed to come up.” Lu Feng cursed in his heart, “I already knew that I shouldn’t have made two floors.” Miss Bai stared at Lu Feng, and asked, “What? Is there any problem?”

Lu Feng awkwardly laughed, “Nothing.”

“Ok, you can go back and find your master now.”

Lu Feng was elated, “Many thanks.”

Lu Feng then turned to leave, but Miss Bai coldly said, “Just because I let you go, doesn’t mean you win. Instead, it’s because I feel that you have a bit of filial piety, which is why I let you go, but before dark, you must come back, else you will see for yourself.”

Lu Feng nodded and laughed, “Don’t worry, I will definitely come back.” Lu Feng then left in a hurry, upon going out, he met with Ye Gu and the rest. Ye Gu laughed and said, “Young son-in-law, take care when you go out, we’ll be waiting for you here.”

Lu Feng was puzzled. “How did you guys know I was gonna leave?”  Ye Gu answered, saying “Miss Bai said you were going to when she was at the yard”

“That’s weird, I thought she was with me inside the house, how did I not hear what she said?”

Ye Gu laughed and laughed, “The miss’s skill is really great, you will slowly grasp.”Lu Feng half believed.  But time matters, he needed to get out of here.

For the whole journey, Lu Feng had a smooth trip back to Xian Yun Mountain.

When he was at the gate, he shouted angrily “ Old Man!  Get your a.s.s out here, I’m ‘bout to tear you a new one.”

At this time a broom flew over, Lu Feng wanted to get out of the way. There was a bang sound. Soon after, his whole forehead was aching, angrily Lu Feng said, “I already said Old Man, stop using your skills to bully me.”

From inside, a laughing sound was heard, “You brat, yesterday I let you go buy roasted chicken.  Well, aren’t you efficient!  It’s only now that you return.”  The more he heard this, the more Lu Feng got angry. “You d.a.m.ned old man, being sabotaged by you and making me into some people’s son-in-law.”

Hearing this, the old man smiled and said “Are you not satisfied with it?  If not, I’ll just introduce someone else.  You’re easily replaceable, after all…”  Lu Feng immediately changed his att.i.tude towards Old Man. “Please don’t. I’m satisfied with the work, you happy?”

“That’s the spirit. Why did you not say so earlier?”

Lu Feng reluctantly said “Fine, Old Man. I’m thankful for your help, okay?”  Old Man was finally satisfied, and said “So, why did you come and find me?  The Bai Family actually let you come here?”

Immediately after hearing that, Lu Feng pitifully said, “Take a look Old Man, I don’t have any strength whatsoever.  Tomorrow if there’s any problem with the marriage, what if they beat me till I’m half dead?  Then you will lose face, ah. So that’s why you should teach me something, such as your great broom hitting skills.”

The Old Man whilst laughing uncontrollably told Lu Feng, “You really want to learn?”  Lu Feng seeing that there was hope, he quickly nodded his head. “Of course.” The old man hearing this, grinned from ear to ear, “You think cultivating only takes a day? Why don’t you directly go be a great immortal then, eh.”

Lu Feng didn’t expect the Old Man’s att.i.tude to change so quickly! “Fine…  Tomorrow, just wait for your disciple to be beaten to death!”The Old Man laughed and said “Fine by me, I’ll just need to get a new one.”  Lu Feng perked up, and the Old Man casually said “Well if you called me ‘master’ once, maybe I could teach you a self-defense technique. Well, one you can learn in a day.”

Lu Feng excitedly said, “Master. Master. You satisfied now?”

“En, this is not too shabby.”

Lu Feng could not wait, hurriedly asking, “Then Master, quickly say what you are going to teach me.”
