From then on, Green Mountain Lodge had one more guest, who was merely a wanderer, not a high-ranking monk from White Horse Temple.

After settling down in the cloud, he took on the role of a tutor for the men of the Zhao family.

The women of the Zhao family gradually handed over the shop to Liu Wang to manage and returned to Qingshan Xiaozhu with the men.

The once quiet Qingshan Xiaozhu suddenly became much more popular.

Besides teaching, Yunyou would take Zhao Qingyan to the highest peak of Qingshan Xiaozhu every day without fail to practice breathing exercises.

This is definitely not for cultivating immortality, but to teach Zhao Qingyan the internal energy cultivation method.

He wandered through his past lives but never succeeded in cultivating immortality. He only woke up because he had done a lot of good deeds and was in the body of an enlightened monk.

To put it bluntly, he's a reincarnation. He just happened to be lucky enough to perfectly inherit the original body's divination abilities.

As for Zhao Qingyan's origins, they were also calculated by the original owner of the body.

Because of his memories of his past life, Yunyou was able to confirm that Zhao Qingyan was his descendant.

Perhaps everything is preordained.

Having lived a whole life, I've come to terms with many things. In this life, I just want to live freely and unrestrainedly.

He knew his descendants had arrived. He had to stay close, and he also wanted to know what the future held.

Having only been at Qingshan Xiaozhu for a few months, Yunyou has transformed from an exceptionally refined and enlightened monk into the round, chubby man he is today.

Yes, Yunyou is no longer the ethereal immortal he once was; he has become a thoroughly fat man, with white eyebrows, white hair, and a white beard.

Yunyou's favorite dishes are braised pork hock, braised pig's trotters, braised prawns, braised crucian carp, and stir-fried beef with scallions...

He likes anything that tastes good.

As for being vegetarian, don't be ridiculous. If anyone dares to give him only a plate of vegetarian food at the dinner table, he'll get angry.

"Old man, come on, I'll take you into the mountains to catch a wild goat and roast it for us."

Zhao Qingyan invited Yunyou without any hesitation.

Yunyou wasn't angry. He quickly put on his equipment and followed behind Zhao Qingyan.

His equipment consisted of a water bladder, sleeping bag, change of clothes, and toiletries.

Once the two of them went into the mountains, it would usually take them at least three to five days to come out.

The Zhao family had gotten used to this. As for the teaching, at first, Yunyou would give lectures every day in a routine manner, but later he would only give brief explanations.

They would say, "Your family is too smart. I don't need to teach you every day. You can learn on your own. If you have any questions, come find me."

Well, the master came for his granddaughter, not as a free tutor.

To receive guidance from a master is a blessing earned over many lifetimes.

Today is another day that Zhao Qingyan is taking Yunyou into the mountains for a stroll.

It's uncertain whether it's because they once shared a space, but their souls are bound together, and Yunyou can freely enter and exit Zhao Qingyan's space.

This really annoyed Zhao Qingyan. The old man would sneak into her space to steal wine and eat all sorts of snacks whenever he had nothing to do.

This old man has almost eaten up all the lemon chicken feet I saved up in my past life.

The two often argue about food. But they make up the next day after their argument, and if there's something delicious or fun to do, they'll be together again.

"Old man, tell me the truth, did you ever sneak into my space to steal any delicious food before?"

The two of them had just finished dividing up the last bag of spicy duck necks when Zhao Qingyan asked, somewhat annoyed.

Yunyou was a little confused, but then he understood Zhao Qingyan's question.

"I can sense the existence of the space, but I can't go in or take anything."

I have to be very close to you, within about a hundred meters. I guess this has something to do with whether you accept me or not; before, it was like there was a barrier between us.

Zhao Qingyan understood and started thinking to herself whether she should consciously block Yunyou out so that he wouldn't steal her food.

Sigh, I'm just thinking about it. This old man is quite pitiful. Regardless of his status, he's still my ancestor. What can I do if I don't indulge him?

What if he makes you cry? Yes, Yunyou always looks at people with those melancholy eyes, which makes people feel sorry for him.

Whenever Zhao Qingyan felt soft-hearted when Yunyou looked into her eyes, she wanted to punch them twice.

In fact, she did just that, and after that, Yunyou never dared to feign pitifulness again.

Oh my god, forget about being struck by lightning. As long as she doesn't swear an oath, nothing will happen.

"Hey old man, what do you think of that wild goat on the far right? Isn't it strong? Enough for the two of us to eat, right?"

Zhao Qingyan asked.

"Which one, which one, let me see, um, is it the one with the curled horns on its head?" Yunyou asked.

“Yes, yes, that’s the one. I’ll catch it, you skin it, how about that?” Zhao Qingyan proposed her terms.

After reaching a consensus, Zhao Qingyan leaped forward, covering several meters, a testament to the benefits of having internal energy.

Zhao Qingyan was incredibly fast; she carried away a wild goat right under the noses of the lions and tigers.

Of course, she wasn't that stupid. She knocked him unconscious with one punch, stuffed him into her spatial storage, and ran back.

Zhao Qingyan's space can now hold living things, which it couldn't do before.

Therefore, anyone who is alive must be knocked unconscious or killed before entering, otherwise the space will become chaotic.

They quickly ran back and found a relatively safe place to begin cleaning their prey. After cleaning, they buried the sheep's internal organs.

They covered the smell with herbs and prepared to find a cave to settle down first.

The grassland pasture is actually not too far from the valley that the Zhao family found earlier.

Zhao Qingyan never mentioned it to Yunyou. No matter how much Yunyou was her relative in a past life, for Zhao Qingyan, the valley was the Zhao family's trump card.

This is something that cannot be revealed to anyone except the Zhao family.

So he led Yunyou in the opposite direction.

Persistence pays off, and they finally found the cliff face.

There is a recessed area at the bottom of this cliff, about three meters deep and two meters wide, just enough for two people to rest.

Yunyou's culinary skills have improved significantly under Zhao Qingyan's tutelage. Today, he plans to make a spicy whole roasted lamb.

Taking advantage of the break during the barbecue, Zhao Qingyan took out a shovel and began to dig and chisel the stone wall little by little. With her innate superhuman strength and internal energy, she quickly widened the inside of the stone wall by more than a meter.

I built myself a small bedroom. This way, the cave won't feel too cramped when I sleep, and I've also divided it into sections.

Zhao Qingyan slept in that small space, which was a little over a meter wide and about two meters long, while Yunyou slept outside to guard the door for her.

Yunyou had grown accustomed to Zhao Qingyan's mannerisms, and would occasionally quip off a comment of his own.

"I wonder if we could dig out a bedroom for our ancestors too."

Zhao Qingyan snorted.

"Ancestors usually live in coffins underground. How about I prepare one for you? What kind of arrangement do you want?"
