Xianxia’s Working Emperor Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Crafty Old Man

Often at times Lu Feng would think, how was he so unlucky to transmigrate to this mysterious world, the sad thing was he did not have any type of heaven defying ability like in a fantasy novel, no type of cheat, he only received a frail body, a sixteen year old morbid body.

Stretching out his arms,and closely staring at his hands, Lu Feng’s eyebrow wrinkled, he frowned, and murmured, “What the h.e.l.l, this is obviously a countryside b.u.mpkin teengar, such malnutritioned hands, if it was the me before and I became so thin, I would drink upside down.”

After speaking, Lu Feng then struggled to get up, he still hadn’t forgotten that he was a fatty in his past life, everyday when he is not partying he is still having parties, so that was how his body resembled a big pot, he tried his best to lose weight, which clearly didn’t work out, soon approaching his thirties, he did not have any intimate relations.h.i.+p at home, and every time a woman saw him, they would want to slip away.

“Ai!, being alive, who needs a handsome face or body, no need to worry about having an ugly wife.” Lu Feng then helplessly sighed, at this moment a sweeping sound from a broom was heard from behind, a ‘Peng’ sound rang out, Lu Feng then felt his whole body flip upside down,landing on the ground and having a mouthful of dirt.

“You disappointing young man, everyday stupidly cry, laugh foolishly, without even a single skill, if you continue like this, I will definitely chase you down the mountain.” At this moment an old man, to be precise, a head full of white hair, with dirt on his beard, while holding a broom in his hands.

Lu Feng got up, spat out a mouthful of dirt, “I already said old man, how many times must I say this, I am still your disciple, don’t always be like this, using the broom to hit my head, next time you hit I would become dumb, then see who would collect your money.”

That old man standing up with a broom in his hand, whilst stroking his beard and laughing, “You stupid disciple, this is how I like it, if you blackmail me like this, then I would switch disciples.”

Lu Feng pondered, “Didn’t you say you would only take in one disciple? Why do you still want to take in another one?.”Originally that was what he remembered the old man had said, at this moment the old man suddenly took out a book, flipped through the pages, Lu Feng always wondered what was in the book, and why he always stopped halfway to look through it.

Not only that, after reading through the book, the old man would always suddenly break into laughter, as predicted the old man threw away the broom and laughed madly, Lu Feng quietly walked over, without even walking a few steps, the old man then used his leg to kick, the broom then hit Lu Feng’s body, Lu Feng was bewildered, why was it always like this, he suspected that the Old Man was pretending to look at the book, and focusing on himself.

As for the old man seeing that Lu Feng looked dejected, laughing despite a b.l.o.o.d.y nose and a swollen face(being beaten badly), “I mean stupid disciple, even if I were to give you countless chances, you can’t even touch a single part of this broom.” Lu Feng is anything but a master, despite turning into such a small body, however it was not like he couldn’t grab the old man’s broom at all, and furiously said, “Humph, ok, today I will fight with you.”

Old Man saw Lu Feng seriously preparing and immediately laughed, “Since it’s like this why don’t we make a bet?” Lu Feng immediately knew that this was one of the old man’s tricks, he frustratedly replied, “How about, let’s bet on who buys lunch.”

Old man beamed, “Looks like you aren’t a fool.” Lu Feng gloomy said, “I have been here for about six months, everyday is the same routine, you dare say I don’t know?” Old man clicked his tongue, “Seems like your resentment is not small.”

Lu Feng snorted,  “Anyway Old Man, today we will fight.” Old man laughed and mockingly said, “Ok, if you can touch my broom, next time all of your lunch will be on me, but if you can’t touch my broom, from today onwards you have to fetch my lunch, agree?”

Lu Feng grunted in agreement, then took advantage of fact that the Old Man had not looked back, then pounced on him, the Old Man immediately kicked the broom into his hand, then laughed,”Ok, you didn’t touch it, go, I want to eat roast chicken for lunch.”

Lu Feng was fuming, “d.a.m.ned Old Man, so old already, yet you still eat such greasy food, watch what you eat or else you might die.”The Old Man laughed and mockingly said, “Leave me alone, right, go to the town and collect money.”

After Saying this, the Old Man threw an embroidered sack to Lu Feng,”The Bai Family’s prescription is in this sack, bear in mind that you can’t take a peek,or else there will be consequences.”

Then the Old Man took the book whilst laughing and turned around, Lu Feng sadly looked at the embroidered sack in his palms, itching to see what was inside, but he didn’t dare to, as he had already experienced hards.h.i.+p, he could still remember the first time he stole a peek, on the second day his eyes couldn’t see anything, if he didn’t beg, then the old man wouldn’t have bothered fixing his eyes.

That’s why when thinking of that scene, Lu Feng could only endure the sadness, and sighed, ”Down the mountain.”

As Lu Feng walked down the mountain, taking a look at the ladder used for going down, he helplessly sighed, “Immortal Cloud Mountain, what the h.e.l.l is this place, when would this father be able to leave ah.”

Lu Feng had thought of secretly leaving, but the Old Man had asked him to stay for 3 years, immediately caught him back again, in addition this Old Man could always catch him, this made Lu Feng feel depressed,this seemingly harmless Old Man that looked like he couldn’t even stand up to the wind had so much ability and strength, yet still making the nearby town folk treat him like a living G.o.d.

Just thinking about the Old Man’s snoring, eating roasted chicken everyday, always talking about a family’s young maiden, Lu Feng was itching to bring the townsfolk up the mountain to open their eyes, he could only vent his resentment at this Immortal Cloud Mountain, with the exception of him and the Old Man, no one else could scale the Mountain, this has always puzzled him.

Helplessly, he carried on walking to the nearby town, Qinglong Town.Lu Feng, as usual, went into the town the old and young all know him.There were even people who  would laugh and say, “Young monk, good ah.”

Lu Feng would always meet people who called him a monk, he cursed in his mind,”This father isn’t even a monk, d.a.m.n it, why do the elderly keep calling me a monk.” At this moment, a group of children singing nursery rhymes, listening to this made him more frustrated.

Just listening to them whistle, “Immortal Cloud Mountain, on the mountain top is the senior monk, with almighty divine power, but he has a disciple which is a fool, who comes to buy roasted chicken everyday! So dumb!”

Lu Feng stared at once, “Who are you calling stupid.”  Those kids immediately dispersed, moving a few steps before making funny faces.Lu Feng saw those kids innocent faces, and cursed, “Ai, what do I have to fight with them about ah.”

Lu Feng, who was helplessly driven to distraction, finally arrived at the Bai Family, this Bai family is one of Qinglong town’s most prominent family, it was rumored that the young miss of the family had a strange illness such that no medicine could cure her, as such they could only go to the Immortal Cloud Mountain and beg, this is also why Lu Feng went to deliver the prescription.

That’s why, once he reached the doors of the Bai Family, the servants were immediately roused, there were some who even shouted, “The monk is here, the monk is here.”

After a moment, a large group of people came out, the head of the family, the entire clan all came out, the head of the family excitedly stepped forward, “Young monk, you finally arrived.”

Lu Feng was accustomed to this, after seeing this scene so many times, he only took out a embroidered sack, “My master has already said, one gold tael.” This amount of money meant nothing to the Bai family, the Bai Family’s head immediately took out a dazzling gold tael and gave it to Lu Feng, soon after keeping the money, Lu Feng said, “I’m leaving.”

Then he turned to leave, planning to go buy the old man’s roasted chicken,while the people were scrambling to see what was inside the embroidered sack, Lu Feng had only walked a few steps, when the commotion was suddenly gone.The surroundings became a deadly silence.Lu Feng did not find anything pecuiliar.

Then the Bai Family’s head shouted, “Bring him back here.” Lu Feng hadn’t even replied when a crowd of people suddenly surrounded him.Lu Feng frowned, looked at the muscular retainers then turned around and asked, “Bai Family head, what is the meaning of this?”

Even though the Bai Family’s head was somewhat displeased, he firmly said, “Come over and see for yourself.” Lu Feng wondered what was written on the slip of paper in the embroidered sack, and curiously walked over, after he grasped the slip of paper in his hand, he was completely shocked, and blurted out, “d.a.m.ned Old Man, what’s the meaning of this.”

The Bai Family Head took the note and slowly said each word,”Your Master says, to make sure you stay behind, so that you can get married to my daughter, and then he will cure her.”

Then the Bai Family’s young master said, “Dad, he’s such a fool ah, are you really going to engage him to sister?” Then the Bai Family’s Mistress also looked distressed and said, “This, how will we settle this ah.” Lu Feng was long since flabbergasted, in his heart he had already cursed the Old Man hundreds of times.Hedidn’t understand what the Old Man was thinking, he even suspected that the Old Man wasn’t beinghimself.After pondering till now, Lu Feng was confident that the Old Man could sort it out.

He hurriedly turned around and wanted to escape.
