The Lay Flat Life: My Wife's Cultivation Makes Me Stronger - Chapter 68

With Pan Shan’s assurance, both Han Feng and the Ye family members felt a sense of relief.

They had both been worried about the other side taking the chance to harm their people.

Now, Han Feng no longer had to worry about Wang Mian. With Pan Shan protecting him, it was almost impossible for anything bad to happen.

The Ye family left behind their disciples and gifts, returning to prepare building materials and organize servants to construct new accommodations. This wasn’t just for their children—it was also a rare opportunity to forge ties with Pan Shan, who had never previously accepted gifts.

Han Feng borrowed a communication jade slip from Jiang Surou and handed it to Wang Mian, saying,
“Wang Mian, stay here and focus on your training. Learn martial arts from the elder. Every few days, head to Luoxia Peak to spend time with Zhang Xiu.

If you ever want to return, send me a message, and I’ll come to pick you up. Don’t try to go back alone.

The route from here to Luoxia Peak is long and winds through dense forests—prime territory for ambushes. Those Ye family kids will know your movements well.

Given their nature, the Ye family won’t miss any opportunity to kill you or me. Be cautious and don’t gamble with your life.”

Wang Mian accepted the jade slip and tucked it into his storage pouch. Grinning, he said,
“Don’t worry. What are friends for? From now on, you’re my driver. Wherever I want to go, you’ll have to take me, hahaha!”

Pan Shan turned to Han Feng and said,
“Hey, kid. Since you’re so close to him, why not stay here too? Train in martial arts with me—it’ll even let you keep a closer eye on him.

Your bloodline power is incredibly potent, and though your body’s a bit scrawny, it has potential. With training, you could really bulk up.

If you stay, I’ll accept you as my personal disciple too. What do you think?”

Han Feng felt a throbbing headache and immediately responded,
“Senior, I have decent aptitude for cultivating immortality, and I’ve worked hard for many years. I don’t want to abandon my path of immortality; I’d like to continue my cultivation.”

“Why does that matter? You’re just at the Qi Refining stage. If you abandon your cultivation now, it’s not like you’ve lost decades or centuries of work. You’re such a promising talent—it’d be a waste not to train in martial arts. Come on, join me!”

Seeing Pan Shan’s enthusiastic insistence, Han Feng silently cursed in his heart.

If martial arts were so great, why did the Immortal Dao Patriarch, Han Xianzun, cultivate immortality in the martial world instead?

“Thank you for your kind offer, Senior, but I’m lazy by nature. I can’t endure the hardships of martial arts and prefer to quietly meditate and cultivate immortality. I’m truly sorry.”

Hearing this, Pan Shan let out a sigh but still offered a parting word of advice:
“Fine. But if you ever lose your cultivation, remember to come find me and train in martial arts.”

Close that cursed mouth of yours! Han Feng gritted his teeth in frustration.

Si Yu interjected coldly,
“He’s my disciple. He can only have me as his master. Enough of this. Let’s go.”

Fearing that Pan Shan might continue to pester them, Si Yu waved her hand, lifting Han Feng, Jiang Surou, and Zhang Xiu with a burst of spiritual energy and flying them back toward Luoxia Peak.

Pan Shan shook his head regretfully, then turned to his disciples and said,
“What are you standing around for? Strip off your clothes.”

“Huh?”

Wang Mian and the five Ye family disciples were collectively shocked.

Does Master… have some kind of weird fetish?

“What are you imagining? Take off your shirts. Bare your chests and get into horse stance. We’re starting with the basics!”

“Understood!”

—

On the way back, Si Yu, without turning her head, asked Jiang Surou and Han Feng,
“You two have been Dao partners for a month now. How many times have you dual cultivated?”

“Huh?”

Their reactions were identical to Wang Mian’s earlier.

Unseeing their expressions, Si Yu continued,
“Let me tell you something. Dual cultivation is beneficial but should be done in moderation. You’re both young, full of vigor, and it’s easy to overindulge once you’ve tasted it, leading to excessive indulgence.

Without proper control, it can have adverse effects.

Ideally, you should limit it to once a day. Twice every two days is even better. Though I’ve never practiced the Yin-Yang Sect’s foundational techniques myself, nor have I dual cultivated, I’ve studied the system.

You’re still young, so you should temper yourselves. Otherwise, you’ll lose interest over time and grow lazy about dual cultivating. Do you understand?”

Jiang Surou’s cheeks turned bright red as she replied,
“Master… we… we haven’t dual cultivated yet.”

“What? It’s been a month, and you two haven’t dual cultivated even once?”

Si Yu frowned, then said,
“Come back with me. We’ll talk.”

Her tone wasn’t friendly, and both Jiang Surou and Han Feng instinctively shrank back in fear.

—

Back at Si Yu’s residence, the three stood respectfully while Si Yu sat in her chair. She leaned back, crossing one smooth, pale leg over the other, exuding the aura of a queen.

She looked at Han Feng and Jiang Surou like a strict teacher addressing her students.
“What’s going on with you two? Why haven’t you dual cultivated even once? The sect provided you with free cultivation techniques specifically for this purpose. Do you know how many people from other sects envy our Yin-Yang Sect for this practice and fail to achieve what we have?

You’ve been given this opportunity for free, and yet you’re not using it?

Why is the Yin-Yang Sect the strongest sect within a thousand miles of the Eastern Coast of Tianxing Continent? It’s because every disciple has a Dao partner. Through dual cultivation, they enhance their cultivation and improve their constitution, achieving twice the results with half the effort!

The sect even holds matchmaking events every year to help you find Dao partners and encourage cultivation.

And you two? With your exceptional aptitudes, dual cultivation would yield outstanding results. Why aren’t you doing it?

Sure, Jiang Surou has a colder personality, but Han Feng, why can’t you take the initiative? Are you not interested in women? And why have you been staring at my legs this whole time?”

Han Feng’s face flushed scarlet, and he quickly lowered his head.

He’d been caught.

Jiang Surou kept her head down, not daring to speak. But as the man in the relationship, Han Feng felt he couldn’t remain silent.

“We met at the matchmaking event. We’re not close.”

“Not… close?”

Si Yu was momentarily stunned by his response, then burst into laughter—though it was more out of anger than amusement.

“Hah! Not close? Plenty of people aren’t close when they first become Dao partners. Can’t you build a relationship? Exchange gifts? Go on walks in the forest, hold hands, maybe steal a kiss?

Relationships are cultivated, you know?

Zhang Xiu, answer me. Have you and Wang Mian dual cultivated?”

Caught off guard, Zhang Xiu, blushing furiously, stammered but couldn’t refuse to answer her master.
“Except during my monthly cycle… once a day.”

Han Feng’s eyes widened in shock.
“Wang Mian is that hungry?”

“Shut up! Focus on your own problems. Even Zhang Xiu knows to dual cultivate daily. And you two?

With your excellent aptitudes and perfect conditions, not to mention being Dao partners, you’re wasting such a golden opportunity. It’s absurd!

From now on, when you return, start dual cultivating immediately. At least once every two days. No exceptions!”

“Understood, Master!”
