When she was alive, Yu Qing's greatest regret was taking in a little demon named Gu Zong as her junior apprentice.
The Gu family had money to spare, and when they sent Gu Zong to her to be reformed, he was nothing but a spoiled wastrel.
He threw money around like water --
Yu Qing: "A gentleman cultivates virtue through frugality. Spend your money where it matters."
So Gu Zong started carrying a big cleaver everywhere he went. Vendors scattered whenever they saw him.
(Lol, now he couldn't spend any money at all.)
He was obsessed with wine and women --
Yu Qing: "Wine consumes the body, and lust consumes the spirit. Drink too much and you'll ruin yourself. A life of pleasure is a hero's grave."
So Gu Zong worried that his senior apprentice sister might be a jinx whose words would come true. When he went drinking, he brought a friend along for courage. After getting drunk, the two of them cuddled up together and slept soundly through the night.
(Lol, every woman thought he was into men.)
He was lazy and idle --
Yu Qing: "If you can bring back a pheasant using only your own skills, without spending a single coin, I'll let you off memorizing one classical text."
So Gu Zong really did come back with a pheasant, without a penny to his name.
Yu Qing: "Well done, you're a quick learner. How did you get the pheasant?"
Gu Zong: "I stole it."
Yu Qing: "...What? You're always getting me into trouble! Go return it to whoever you stole it from!"
(Lol, he stole it fair and square. Why should he give it back?)
After years of hard work, she finally reformed her junior apprentice into a renowned chivalrous hero. Before she could even brag about it, she kicked the bucket.
Following the principle of "I planted the tree, so I should get to enjoy the shade," Yu Qing kept thinking about her junior apprentice Gu Zong after she was reborn. But she searched the entire cultivation world and found no trace of him.
Even his former position as king of a nation had been seized by someone known as the Renegade Recluse. He was infamous, thoroughly wicked, and had corrupted the moral character of the entire nation. He was a bona fide villain.
He threw money around like water --
He was lazy and idle --
At least he wasn't obsessed with wine and women --
For the sake of the people, so they wouldn't have to live in misery, Yu Qing decided to take up her old trade and reform this man --
"You, go catch me a pheasant so I can make soup. And remember, don't spend any money!"

I haven't updated for too long. I can't continue the previous plot.
Gone??? What is the relationship between rebels and their junior brothers?
The protagonist group is really too weak...
This weird couple is as annoying as that lackey.
This woman is also sick. Wouldn't it be better to keep a low profile and wait for the opportunity to return to China? What on earth are you showing off????
Are Yu Li and this little girl crazy? If they want to stop the marriage, why don't they seize the opportunity to escape? They are rushing to get someone to marry them. This Yu Li is simply a pig teammate who can only hold back.
I really hate Yu Li
Does the author still plan to update?
Is this over, or is it a trap?
After reading more than a dozen chapters, there are a few things I don't understand: The character of Mr. Ximen is a bad guy, but sometimes his words and sentences don't fit the character, and his reaction after the death of his fourth son feels very strange. He said that he was the most doting and loving, but his reaction was like a favorite pet that died; when the Taoist priests heard about the misery of the heroine, their first reaction was disgust and disgust, and then they acted with pitiful thoughts. Is this the character of the Taoist priests mentioned in the article that helps the world? Mrs. Simon is the strangest. She kindly picked up the heroine and raised her, but turned a blind eye to the heroine being made into a human pig? The Taoist priest left the little Taoist priest at Ximen House where the situation was unknown. . ? Also, I don't know if I didn't pay attention carefully. Didn't I say that the heroine lost all her senses? How come the heroine can jump, run and still hear. . ?
