Every Day I’m Reforming My Disciple [Transmigration into a Book] - Chapter 1

“The clan leader is in secluded cultivation. No one is allowed inside!”

Noisy voices came from outside.

Han Le had no attention to spare for them. She clutched her head and curled up in agony on the couch as a chaotic mess of memories rushed into her mind all at once.

After she finished digesting them, two words appeared before her eyes.

It’s over.

She had transmigrated. She had transmigrated into the body of a villainess who shared the same name as her—and who died an extremely miserable death.

In the original novel, Han Le was a thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox demon. Others might spend ten thousand years, or even their entire lives, struggling to cultivate a single tail, yet she had cultivated eight tails in only a thousand years. She had not been born with them; she had acquired them later. How incredibly lucky.

After realizing she was different from everyone else, the original owner immediately began boasting wildly in the fox clan, claiming that she was born to be the leader of the fox clan and the future of the fox clan.

The strongest person in the fox clan was the clan leader, yet even the clan leader only had three tails. When he saw the original owner’s nine tails, he knelt and bowed before she even said a word.

After easily gaining control over the fox clan, the original owner began taking in disciples on a large scale. The female lead, Han Qu, was one of them.

At the time, the female lead was only an infant abandoned in a wolf pack. Just as she was about to be torn apart by the wolves, the original owner descended from the sky, rescued her, and personally gave her a name.

She was the only disciple who was given the original owner’s surname.

In the early stages, the original owner cared for Han Qu in every possible way and even personally taught her martial arts. But later, after the male lead appeared, the original owner’s attitude toward Han Qu changed instantly. She even dug out the female lead’s heart with her own hands.

Later, after the female lead was reborn from the flames, she directly chopped off the original owner’s head.

Han Le truly could not understand it. After so many years of master-disciple affection, why would they turn against each other over a man?

Now that she had transmigrated into this person’s body, just thinking of the final ending made her tremble with fear.

As the saying went, of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was best. She absolutely could not stay here any longer.

“Ding! System binding successful! Host, please begin completing the plot according to the given prompts and make it reasonable!”

The voice in her mind had just sounded when the door in front of her suddenly opened.

The person who entered wore a faint smile at the corner of her lips. “Master, where are you going?”

With that stunning appearance, she had to be the female lead, Han Qu.

Han Le froze for a brief moment because of her beauty. “Disc—”

Before she could finish speaking, her pupils widened. She looked down in disbelief.

The other person had actually dug out her heart while she was completely unguarded???

“I heard nine-tailed foxes have nine lives. Why don’t I let Master experience them all today?”

What… what was going on?!

Han Le’s eyes widened as she collapsed. Her mouth was open, but she could not say a single word. The most terrifying part was that although she clearly no longer had any breath, she could still vividly feel the pain in her body.

She watched as the other person suddenly revealed an eerie smile.

“I almost forgot. Your revival point is in the fox clan. Master, why don’t I look for where you placed it?”

At the beginning of the plot, Han Le had already suffered once because of her revival point.

At that time, she had led the fox clan to battle against the wolf clan. Who would have thought that one careless mistake would cause her to die at the hands of the wolf clan’s commander? Han Le was a nine-tailed fox, and she had been so arrogant and showy about it that everyone in the demon realm knew.

Naturally, the wolf clan commander was curious about how multi-tailed foxes of the fox clan revived. He did not care that his subordinates were being beaten half to death. He simply plopped himself down in front of Han Le’s corpse and watched as her body slowly disappeared, then reappeared in the same place.

At that time, it was Han Le’s first death, so she had no experience. The moment her hands and feet could move again, she was stabbed once more.

She could only watch helplessly as the wolf clan commander continued standing in the same spot. Fortunately, when she revived again, the fox clan warriors finally noticed that this bastard was standing there without moving. They charged over and killed their way through, allowing Han Le to take the chance to flee.

Later, after consulting ancient texts, she learned that multi-tailed foxes could set their own revival points. From then on, the original owner often explored the fox clan late at night. Eventually, she found a hidden place and set her next revival point there.

Brilliant, dazzling light bloomed. Vivid red flowed into an ancient and mysterious magic array, appearing on the uneven ground. Seven tails emerged one after another in midair. As Han Le’s body gradually appeared atop the array, blood seeped back into her body, and one tail turned illusory until it vanished.

Han Le’s fingers trembled slightly. She forced her heavy eyelids open. Her purplish-red eyes rolled once before closing again.

Only when the mechanical voice sounded in her mind again did she react.

“Prompt: Rebirth. Host, please complete the plot according to the prompt and make it reasonable.”

“Rebirth.”

The word came out of her mouth with great difficulty. Han Le’s fingers finally curled, and her clenched fist scraped against the ground. Completely ignoring the pain of the friction, she forced herself to support her body.

“You…”

She had too many questions she wanted to ask, but once the words reached her lips, she did not know which one to ask first.

Han Le leaned against the hard, icy boulder behind her. Her charming, ever-changing face instantly settled into only one expression—indifference.

When she was young, she had a speech disorder. She often became so anxious trying to clearly say a few words that her entire face turned red, but no one understood why she was like that. They even mocked her, saying her face looked like a monkey’s butt.

Later, she could speak clearly, but because she could not say everything in one breath and could only spit out two words at a time, she was mocked again for acting pretentious. From then on, Han Le fell completely silent.

So much so that even later, when she could finally say a complete sentence, she no longer wanted to speak. She was even unwilling to make unnecessary expressions. She had grown used to silently roasting the other person in her heart, then politely replying with an “Oh” at the end. However, her politeness was usually not understood. She had even been beaten up by delinquent girls because of it.

Han Le had not wanted to fight back, because her teacher had said that no matter the reason, if she fought with others, she would be punished as long as she made a move. So she was very smart. She only protected her important parts and let them hit her. After it was over, she would go defend her rights.

Even before her death, she had been very obedient to her teacher’s words. Even if she was going to faint, she still had to crawl back to the zebra crossing before fainting.

She really was very obedient. She just did not know why her luck was always so terrible.

“Host, now is not the time to lament your life. Please work hard to complete the task and strive to return as soon as possible.”

Han Le’s lips moved. “I can go back?”

“As long as Host completes the task, you can obtain a chance at rebirth.”

“I crawled back to the zebra crossing. I should be able to get quite a bit of compensation,” Han Le muttered.

“…Host, please pull yourself together, cheer up, and work hard to complete the task!”

Han Le was still thinking about her compensation money. Hearing the system’s words, she immediately gave a soft “Mm.”

Then she thought of her current situation.

“Rebirth… rebirth…” she repeated the prompt the system had given her. “At what stage was she reborn?”

The system could not help clicking its tongue. As expected of the host it had chosen, she had found the key point so quickly. However—

“Sorry, Host. The system is temporarily unable to answer that question…”

“Fine.” Han Le’s mind briefly went blank. Her purplish-red eyes moved slightly. “Am I a fox now?”

The system had thought she was thinking about the female lead. This sudden question caught it off guard. “Yes, Host.”

Han Le nodded. Then she sniffed herself. There was no fox odor either. Strange.

She walked out of the cave, but after only a few steps, she stopped. “Where should I go?”

The system said, “You should complete the task.”

That was the same as not answering.

“Oh.” Although the other party was not human, she still had to be polite.

System: “……”

How could it tactfully and gracefully tell her that it could know what she was thinking?

“Stop! Don’t run! Stop right there!”

Were they calling her? Han Le turned around and flicked her sleeve. A burst of howls followed.

Children?

Three or four children with sky-high pigtails fell to the ground, each one looking at her warily.

“You wild fox, just you wait!”

One of them shouted, and the few behind him glared at her before immediately fleeing with their tails between their legs.

There was a thud as someone knelt.

Han Le looked down. It was a little girl around seven or eight years old. Unlike those children, she had a pair of fox ears exposed and a fluffy tail.

“Senior!”

She kowtowed heavily.

“Thank you, Senior, for saving my life. Lili has no way to repay you. I am willing to work like an ox or a horse for Senior to repay your life-saving grace.”

The little fox’s large eyes were watery, and the tears shimmering in them looked as if they would fall in the next second.

Han Le looked at her own hand. Just now, she had merely waved casually. She had not expected it to be so powerful. Had she, who had always been forgotten by the heavens, finally been rediscovered?

She looked toward the shrubbery beside her and tried waving her sleeve again. A violent wind rose, and the once-still grass and trees all fell neatly to one side, their waists cut clean through.

The little fox immediately exclaimed, “Senior, you’re amazing! So amazing!”

Han Le withdrew her hand in satisfaction.

Mm. She was amazing.

If she had a handy weapon, she should be even more amazing.

She remembered that in the plot, the original owner had a divine weapon called Liyuan Hong. To obtain this sword, she had even stabbed the female lead once. However, after the original owner died, Liyuan Hong returned to the female lead’s hands.

She would not die, so Liyuan Hong would be her handy weapon. Han Le very naturally classified the female lead’s sword as her own possession.

The female lead had been reborn. Since she killed Han Le the moment they met, she must have returned either at the moment the original owner dug out her heart or sometime afterward. In any case, it definitely could not have been before that.

The system wanted her to complete the plot. That meant she would inevitably have to meet the female lead again later. She needed the ability to protect herself. Although she still had six lives left, she did not want to experience the pain of being killed again.

So she wanted Liyuan Hong.

“Plot completion progress bar +1. Total progress: one percent. Host, please keep up the good work and continue doing your best!”

Han Le was dazed. So as long as she confirmed in her heart that she would take the sword and follow the plot, she could complete the plot?

“Senior, did you hear something?” The little fox moved closer to her nervously, her pair of fox ears curling up in fear.

So cute.

Han Le had just reached out and touched them when the fox ears, along with their soft fur, instantly stood up. The little fox was so frightened that she directly hugged Han Le’s thigh.

Han Le immediately stiffened. Her hand froze in midair, not knowing what to do.

“Don’t panic.”

She had meant to comfort her, but the little fox looked up at her and immediately let go. Then she dropped to her knees with a whoosh and kowtowed.

“I’m sorry, Senior. Lili didn’t mean to offend you. I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

Han Le reached out, wanting to help her up.

The little fox, Lili, looked utterly terrified. “I’m sorry, Senior. Lili was wrong. Please spare Lili!”

Then came another round of kowtowing.

Somewhat speechless, Han Le withdrew her hand and cleared her throat. “Get up.”

“Thank you, Senior!” The little fox rose tremblingly. Seeing Senior’s cold, icy face, she immediately lowered her head and cried wildly in her heart.

Senior is so scary, sob sob sob.

Rustling sounds rang out again. The little fox swiftly hid behind Han Le, trembling.

“Senior…”

“Don’t speak.”

Han Le walked forward, and the little fox hurriedly followed. After pushing aside a patch of weeds, they saw a person lying ahead, covered in blood and crawling toward them.

“Save… save me…”

The voice was weak.

The little fox covered her small mouth. “Senior, she’s injured! We have to save her!”

Lili had just taken one step with her little paw when she turned around and saw that Senior had actually turned around and was preparing to leave?!

She immediately stepped forward, gathered her courage, and grabbed a small corner of Senior’s robe. Han Le turned back, her purplish-red eyes narrowing slightly. The little fox immediately let go and said timidly, “Senior, aren’t we going to save her?”

“A person? What person?” Why didn’t she see one?

Thinking back to every time she had been beaten, the passersby around her had done nothing except watch the show. Someone saving her? That person was probably a ghost.

Everyone had taught her not to meddle in other people’s business. So why should she save someone?

“She’s… she’s a fox. Senior, then we should save her even more. She’s one of our kind!” The little fox thought Han Le was correcting her improper wording.

Han Le did not know what to say.

The little fox once again gathered her courage and grabbed the corner of Han Le’s clothes. Her large eyes were filled with urgent hope.

Huh. Did a little fox like this exist in the original novel?

Han Le tried hard to recall.

She found nothing.

So the little fox was just a passerby?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed her mind. The characters who appeared in the original novel were only the tip of the iceberg in this world. The system wanted her to complete the plot, so it was unavoidable that some new characters would appear. Their life trajectories had not been arranged, so why not find these people and form a team?

That way, when the female lead came to kill her, they could at least block for her. It would not count as destroying the plot either.

The little fox suddenly shivered. She felt that Senior’s gaze toward her seemed different now. Even scarier! As if Senior wanted to eat her!

“Save… save me…”

During the few minutes Han Le spent thinking, the blood-covered person had already crawled to their side and stretched out a filthy hand.

The little fox let out an “Ah” and immediately took her hand in a touching manner.

“Hold on a little longer. We’ll save you right away. Senior…”

As she spoke, she looked to Han Le for help.

Fine. They could save her. Provided she was Passerby B.

Han Le walked to the person’s side and crouched down. The blood-covered person suddenly raised her head to look at her. Han Le’s legs trembled, and she almost fell.

A chill ran down her spine.

She had felt this sensation once before—when the female lead pushed the door open, smiled faintly, and called her Master.

After looking at her once, the other person’s head dropped straight to the ground, and she fainted.

“Senior!” The little fox was a little anxious.

Han Le grabbed the person’s hair and forced her head up.

The little fox’s scalp instantly went numb, and she protected her own hair. How much must that hurt? Senior is so rough, sob sob sob.

Han Le pushed aside the hair covering the person’s face and examined her appearance carefully. Although the woman was filthy and stained with blood, it could still be seen that she was quite good-looking.

But…

Han Le suddenly let go, and the person’s face smacked directly against the ground again.

The female lead was far more beautiful than her.

It was not her.

After having the little fox drag the blood-covered person to the tree opposite them, Han Le asked the system how to save someone.

The system replied, “Sorry, Host. The system is temporarily unable to answer this question…”

Useless.
