Reborn as a Thousand-Year-Old Ancestor

As Gu Qingli was dying, someone asked him, "Are you keeping the body?"

"It's no good for eating or using. Why would I keep it?"

He didn't keep the body. He kept a fragment of the soul, carefully nurturing it, but in the end, it still faded away little by little in his palm.

Dying on the road to find soul-nourishing grass, Gu Qingli thought: His debt was paid.

Given another chance at life, he discovered that the debt wasn't paid at all. If anything, it seemed to be growing.

The old ancestor wasn't one to enjoy owing people. He kept his debtor right under his nose, and found everything about him lovely. He was as obedient as a puppy and as clingy as a plaster, just a little too soft.

The plaster had another name: his fellow disciple, his betrothed Daoist partner.

Today's betrothed partner might be someone else's tomorrow. The old ancestor said he didn't care much about titles.

Gu Hengyuan: "Senior Brother really doesn't care. He just shares a bowl of food with me, bathes with me in the same tub, and sleeps with me under the same blanket, using actions to make our relationship crystal clear."

Content notes: 1. Cultivation setting. The top raises the bottom, with a somewhat formative relationship.

2. The alchemy and artifact crafting are entirely made up. Just enjoy the story, please don't nitpick the details.

3. The characters' values do not entirely represent the author's.

4. Please don't leave malicious negative ratings or reviews. Dear readers, writing is hard. I'll take suggestions seriously, but if you come in swinging and leave a bad rating just to bully the author, I'll get mad!

Thank you for your support.
