Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC Chapter 26

 Chapter 26

Amidst the silence, Fang Chaozhou steadied his mind and tried to calm himself. He said, “Master, I can explain. Although this thing looks quite similar to that, it’s actually not the same.” His tone gradually softened as he met his master’s furious gaze. “Master, do you believe it’s just a hand warmer?”

Then, he was locked up.

Fang Chaozhou looked at the wall in front of him and let out a sigh. Everything on him had been taken away, nothing was left.

Thinking about this, Fang Chaozhou let out another sigh, turned over, and faced the other side of the wall. Now, he could only hope that his junior martial brother would regain his clarity of mind and explain to their master. Only then could he be released. Otherwise, his master would surely believe that he had ill intentions towards his junior martial brother. After all, not only did his master find the “hand warmer” in his storage ring, but also the yang-enhancing medicine that Du Yunxi had given him.

Although Du Yunxi had stepped forward and claimed to have given it to him, the way their master looked at Du Yunxi was as if he was looking at an accomplice. He almost threw Du Yunxi into the stone cell as well.

And the gazes of his martial brothers and sisters weren’t too friendly either. Previously, they knew about his hidden illness, and their gazes were mostly filled with sympathy. But now, their gazes towards him were complicated.

They seemed to think that he had an illness but couldn’t control his love for his junior martial brother, to the extent of resorting to taking yang-enhancing medicine and contemplating using tools to play with his junior martial brother.

His master glanced rudely at his “hand warmer” and disdainfully tossed it aside, so he didn’t see Li Yiyue’s name on it. After struggling internally, Fang Chaozhou decided not to confess.

If anyone found out that he was hiding a jade device the same size as Li Yiyue’s, would he still be able to live?

No, he couldn’t reveal it.

He had his pride.

After spending a whole day in the stone cell, Fang Chaozhou finally had someone come to see him. When he saw the visitor, he rushed over and grabbed the iron bars with magical spells. “Senior Martial Brother, you finally came! Did you come to release me?”

Seeing his second junior martial brother gripping the iron bars, the senior martial brother couldn’t help but chuckle. He looked like a puppy that had been cooped up all day. But he quickly suppressed his laughter and put on a serious face. “No, Second Junior Martial Brother, I came here on Master’s orders.”

With that said, he took out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from behind and handed them to Fang Chaozhou through the gaps in the bars. “Master instructed you to write a repentance letter.”

Fang Chaozhou looked at the things in his hand and paused for a moment. Seeing the senior martial brother about to leave, he quickly called out, “Senior Martial Brother, what should I write in the repentance letter as instructed by the Master?”

Should it be about not using the jade device as a hand warmer?

Or about not accepting the yang-enhancing medicine from Fifth Junior Martial Brother?

Or about not letting Junior Martial Brother kiss him?

But the senior martial brother ignored him, walked away after handing over the items, and didn’t mention when he would come back to collect the repentance letter.

Dejectedly, Fang Chaozhou sat back in his original spot and after a while, he started playing Five-in-a-Row by himself. The senior martial brother had sent plenty of paper, so wasting a few sheets wasn’t a big deal.

After another three days, Fang Chaozhou was going crazy with boredom when he finally saw someone again.

This time, it was his master.

Having been locked up for four days without anything, Fang Chaozhou felt a sense of familiarity towards anyone he saw, especially his master who could release him. He stared eagerly at his master, calling out in a pleading voice.

“Master, is Junior Martial Brother already fine?”

His master stood outside the iron bars, looked at Fang Chaozhou for a moment, and the door to the stone cell instantly opened. Fang Chaozhou felt excited, but his expression became even more pitiful, as if he were a neglected vegetable.

“Master, did Junior Martial Brother recover?”

His master walked in, and with a glance, he saw the scattered papers on the ground. He lowered his eyes and surveyed them, but Fang Chaozhou sensed something amiss and quickly blocked those papers.

His actions made the person hum lightly. “You’re locked up and still find time to play. Quite impressive.”

“I was just bored and casually drawing,” Fang Chaozhou hurriedly took out the repentance letter from his embrace and handed it over. “Master, I’ve already finished writing the repentance letter.”

His master took it, quickly skimmed through it, and raised his eyes, looking at Fang Chaozhou with a smile that was not quite a smile. “This is the repentance letter you wrote?”

“Hmm, is it not written well?” Fang Chaozhou couldn’t help but feel anxious seeing his master’s expression.

His master hummed again, folded the repentance letter neatly, and tucked it into his sleeve before turning to leave. Seeing his master about to leave, Fang Chaozhou couldn’t care less and rushed forward, embracing his master’s leg. “Master, please just release me. I’m truly going to die here. It’s too boring. How about you return my storage ring to me?”

The home he desired wasn’t this kind of confinement.

The master, with his leg held, made a slight movement but couldn’t break free from Fang Chaozhou’s grip. He turned his head to look at the young man clutching his leg.

During these past few days, Fang Chaozhou had become increasingly anxious and listless. Now, fearing that his master would push him away, he clung tightly to his master’s leg while looking up at him with pitiful eyes.

“Master, I’ll really die if I stay here any longer. Please take me out.”

His master lowered his gaze and looked at Fang Chaozhou. After a moment, he reached out and held Fang Chaozhou’s chin. “Alright.”

Fang Chaozhou, being suddenly held by his chin, was momentarily stunned. His master had never made such… ambiguous actions towards him.

In the next instant, he felt the hand gripping his chin exert a slight force. “Little one, it was you who begged me to take you out. It’s too late to regret now.”

This voice wasn’t his master’s voice.

It was… Li Yiyue’s voice.

Fang Chaozhou’s eyes widened. Before he could release his grip, he was rendered unconscious.

When he woke up again, Fang Chaozhou found himself lying on a bed. Thick curtains hung beside the bed, and a rich fragrance kept wafting into his nose. He felt weak all over and tried to sit up, but he couldn’t muster any strength. He could only lie there, with the only part of his body that he could move being his fingers, and even that was limited to slight movements.

Where was this?

It seemed like Li Yiyue had taken him out of the stone cell, so was this the Abyssal Soul Sect?

As soon as this thought arose, Fang Chaozhou heard footsteps.

The sound grew louder as the person approached, deliberately making heavy footsteps, as if to deepen Fang Chaozhou’s sense of fear.

In an unknown place, feeling weak all over, anyone would feel afraid.

A slender hand lifted the layers of curtains, revealing the face of the approaching person.

Compared to their last encounter, Li Yiyue’s complexion appeared noticeably paler, and even his lips had lost some color. However, the dark aura between his brows had become even more intense, making his face appear increasingly sinister. He stood by the bedside and silently admired the immobile Fang Chaozhou before curling his lips. “Are you scared?”

Fang Chaozhou honestly replied, “Yes, I’m scared.”

Whenever he saw Li Yiyue now, he would think of that “warm pad.” If Li Yiyue wanted to do something unspeakable to him, not only would he be terrified, but it would also be a bloodbath.

Li Yiyue sat down by the bed and reached out to pinch Fang Chaozhou’s face. He started with a loose grip and gradually applied more force, causing Fang Chaozhou’s face to wrinkle in pain.

“You’re still afraid, huh? I thought you had a lot of courage.” Li Yiyue took out a paper that Fang Chaozhou was extremely familiar with.

It was the repentance letter Fang Chaozhou had written.

Li Yiyue’s eyes turned cold. “Who allowed you to let Xue Danrong get close to you?”

With his face being pinched, Fang Chaozhou could only answer incoherently, “Ta… He… kissed me.” He kissed me.

Hearing this, Li Yiyue sneered. “You sound quite aggrieved. He went berserk and wanted to kiss you, but you didn’t go berserk. Don’t you know how to resist?” He released his grip on Fang Chaozhou’s face and instead rubbed his reddened cheek.

Adhering to the principle of honesty as the best policy, Fang Chaozhou had written a detailed account of what happened when Xue Danrong went berserk in the repentance letter. Of course, he made it clear at the end that he had no intention of being unfaithful to his junior brother. However, he had never expected Li Yiyue to impersonate his master and intercept the letter.

“I resisted. I even asked my Senior Brother to fetch my master,” Fang Chaozhou said, unable to help but dodge away from Li Yiyue’s hand.

Li Yiyue narrowed his eyes, his cold gaze becoming even more intense. “Why are you avoiding me?”

Fang Chaozhou stiffened and hesitated for a moment before weakly saying, “It’s cold.”

Li Yiyue raised an eyebrow and in the next instant, he directly placed his hand on Fang Chaozhou’s neck. After he had it in place, he smiled slightly and asked, “Still cold?”

“N-No… Not cold anymore,” Fang Chaozhou squeezed out a smile.

Now, with his life at stake, he had to be sensible. He couldn’t provoke this big demon, Li Yiyue.

Seeing Fang Chaozhou’s compliance, Li Yiyue nodded slightly and returned to their previous topic. “Did you really resist? If you resisted, how could he have kissed you? Or did you resist on the surface but actually enjoy it secretly?”

Fang Chaozhou, sensing Li Yiyue’s increasingly hostile gaze, immediately said, “By the heavens’ witness, I have no improper intentions towards my junior brother. If I do, then let me…”

What kind of oath should he make?

“And what will you do?” Li Yiyue looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Fang Chaozhou’s eyes darted around for a while before finally saying, “Let me be struck by thunder and vanish into ashes.”

“I’ve heard that kind of oath too many times. It’s boring. Give me another one,” Li Yiyue leaned down, staring into Fang Chaozhou’s eyes. As he leaned closer, Fang Chaozhou’s body stiffened. “How about this? If you have any improper thoughts about Xue Danrong, you’ll spend your whole life being f*cked.”

He enunciated the last two words very clearly, and in the end, his gaze even lingered on Fang Chaozhou’s buttocks.

That glance gave Fang Chaozhou goosebumps all over, but he still mustered the courage to make that cursed oath. As soon as those words were spoken, Li Yiyue tugged at the corner of his lips and changed the topic. “By the way, your master must have taken the gift I gave you, right?”

Seeing the “How did you know?” In Fang Chaozhou’s eyes, Li Yiyue casually said, “When I give something away, I know whether the intended recipient has received it or not. Otherwise, how would I know you were locked up? Considering how much you enjoy the things I give you, it’s abnormal if you don’t play with them for several days.”

Fang Chaozhou was bewildered and didn’t quite understand.

“But it’s alright. This time, I’ll let you play for real.” Li Yiyue smirked at Fang Chaozhou, his rogue-like nature practically written on his face. “You can play for as long as you want, and I’ll accompany you to the end.”

Fang Chaozhou remained silent for a while, blinking his eyes. His expression gradually became peculiar, and after a long time, he stammered.

“That’s not… good…”

Li Yiyue, seeing Fang Chaozhou stuttering, smiled even more deeply. “Why isn’t it good? Playing with the real thing is better than playing with a fake one.”

He had expected to see Fang Chaozhou blush, but he didn’t expect to hear Fang Chaozhou say, 

“Can you feel hot when it’s real… and cold when you let go?”

Were demonic cultivators really that amazing?

This time, Li Yiyue was stunned, but before he could ask Fang Chaozhou what he meant, a voice came from outside.

“Master, there’s something to report.”

Li Yiyue furrowed his brow, stood up straight, and glanced at Fang Chaozhou lying on the bed. He muttered, “Wait for me here,” before leaving the room.

As soon as Li Yiyue left, Fang Chaozhou immediately tried to escape. However, he hadn’t fully recovered his strength, so after struggling for a while, he could only manage to move from the middle of the bed to the edge. Just as he was about to use his face to push aside the curtains, a face appeared first.

The face was small, almost the size of a palm, with a pair of captivating cat-like eyes.

“It’s you!” the person exclaimed upon seeing Fang Chaozhou on the bed.

And when Fang Chaozhou saw the little mischief-maker who seemed to have popped out of nowhere, his heart leaped with joy, and he immediately said, “Li Zhu, didn’t you say you didn’t want me to be your stepmother? Now let me go!”

He thought Li Zhu would readily agree, but to his surprise, Li Zhu, after hearing his words, sized him up and down, the cat-like eyes swirling around, and then pushed him to the side of the bed with a hand. “Hmph, do you take me for a fool? I haven’t settled the score with you for using the paralysis technique on me last time!”

With that, Li Zhu climbed onto the bed.
