Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC Chapter 50

 Chapter 50

Fang Chaozhou swallowed the fruit in his mouth. Zhongli Yueshui’s water-like eyes were really sharp. He had various varieties of fruits stored, but the fruit in his hand was the last Spirit Zongzi Fruit.

The taste of the Spirit Zongzi Fruit was somewhat similar to the zongzi in the mortal world, but not as greasy. This fruit could be considered one of Fang Chaozhou’s top ten favorite fruits.

However, he had already taken a bite.

Wydt Ubysgbsw: “!!!”

He looked at the man in front of him in disbelief. “Really going down the mountain?”

Zhongli Yueshui’s gaze became solemn. “If you don’t believe it, you don’t have to go.”

“I believe, I believe.” Fang Chaozhou thought about being able to go down the mountain tomorrow, and his hand didn’t feel as painful anymore. His eyes widened happily, forming a big smile.

He would be able to go down the mountain tomorrow. According to Zhongli Yueshui’s words, he was allowed to buy things. So tomorrow, he would fill his storage ring to the brim. He didn’t buy many things during his hurried trip to the capital city last time, and his storage ring was nearly empty of food. The books were also cleared out by his master, not leaving a single one for him.

Zhongli Yueshui looked at Fang Chaozhou’s current appearance and calmly averted his gaze. “If you can’t wake up tomorrow, then you don’t need to go down the mountain.”

“Master, I will definitely wake up!” Fang Chaozhou’s reply was resolute, but…

The next morning, Zhongli Yueshui had already finished his morning cultivation, bathed and changed, and returned to his quarters. The person who claimed he would definitely wake up was still sound asleep.

He was still curled up, sleeping closely with the cat.

Tu baí heard the commotion and lazily opened his eyes. When his heterochromatic eyes caught sight of Zhongli Yueshui’s presence, he let out a soft meow. Zhongli Yueshui glanced at him before sitting down at the edge of the bed and gently lifted the still-sleeping Fang Chaozhou from under the covers.

Fang Chaozhou, who slept in his thin clothes, instinctively moved closer to Zhongli Yueshui’s embrace, seeking warmth. Upon seeing Fang Chaozhou being carried away, Tu baí quickly got up and anxiously approached Zhongli Yueshui, meowing twice.

Ignoring Tu baí, Zhongli Yueshui took out Fang Chaozhou’s left hand. The swelling from yesterday now looked even worse, with a hint of purplish-red color.

After observing for a while, Zhongli Yueshui took out a jar of ointment from his sleeve. Though his movements were gentle, just the touch of the injured area made Fang Chaozhou inhale sharply in pain. Due to his young age and deep sleepiness, even though he felt uncomfortable, he couldn’t open his eyes. He struggled to pull his hand back.

Zhongli Yueshui furrowed his brows slightly, then firmly held Fang Chaozhou’s wrist, preventing him from retracting his hand. However, Fang Chaozhou didn’t cooperate and even kicked Zhongli Yueshui’s hand with his foot, seemingly trying to kick away the source of his pain so he could feel more comfortable.

Tu baí meowed again from the side.

“No need for your guidance,” Zhongli Yueshui’s expression turned colder. He lifted the person in his arms a little and pricked his finger, bringing it close to Fang Chaozhou’s lips.

With the taste of blood, Fang Chaozhou instantly quieted down, returning to his obedient appearance.

After applying the ointment, Zhongli Yueshui didn’t immediately withdraw his hand. He waited until the ointment on Fang Chaozhou’s palm was completely absorbed before retracting his hand and tucking Fang Chaozhou back into the blanket.

He turned his gaze to Tu baí. “Wake him up. If he’s not awake in fifteen minutes, you’re not allowed to sleep with him tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Tu baí immediately turned around and nudged Fang Chaozhou with his cat face, using his paws to scratch. He meowed incessantly until, just before the fifteen-minute mark, he managed to awaken Fang Chaozhou.

Fang Chaozhou, in a dazed state, opened his eyes and stared blankly at the cat’s face in front of him for a moment. Then he turned his head to look at the window beside him, realizing that the daylight outside had already brightened. He instantly became fully awake and quickly got up. As soon as he stood up, he noticed that his left hand was no longer in pain.

Surprised, he examined his hand. The palm that was swollen and red before going to bed last night was now clean, as if it had never been hit.

Lost in thought while staring at his hand, Fang Chaozhou heard Tu baí’s urging meow, snapping him out of his reverie. He immediately stopped thinking about his hand and hurriedly grabbed his clothes from the end of the bed.

After struggling to put on his clothes, his unruly hair became another problem. With his thick, long hair, there were always a few strands that escaped when he tried to tie it up. He had overslept and was afraid of making Zhongli Yueshui angry, so he decided not to bring him down the mountain. In his haste, he didn’t have time to worry about it too much. He simply put on his boots without tying up his hair and rushed out.

“Master! Master!” Fang Chaozhou shouted as he rushed towards the exit. However, he unexpectedly bumped into something hard as he passed through the doorway.

He stumbled backward from the impact and struggled to regain his balance. When he finally steadied himself, he saw a pair of long legs in front of him. Fang Chaozhou paused for a moment, then looked up along the legs to see a slightly furrowed face.

“Master,” Fang Chaozhou’s voice instantly lowered, “Can we go down the mountain now?”

It turned out that the hard object he had bumped into was Zhongli Yueshui’s leg.

Zhongli Yueshui glanced at Fang Chaozhou’s untied hair. “Why haven’t you tied your hair?”

Fang Chaozhou lowered his head. “I didn’t have enough time. I couldn’t tie it properly.”

Zhongli Yueshui’s furrowed brow became even more pronounced. After a while, he spoke up.

“Come here.”

Fang Chaozhou heard these words but before he could react, he saw Zhongli Yueshui bypassing him and walking towards the inner room. He quickly followed, and Zhongli Yueshui then sat him down on the stool in front of the dressing table.

Zhongli Yueshui’s hand touched Fang Chaozhou’s hair and within a few strokes, he neatly tied it up. After finishing, he spoke in a slightly cold tone, “Look in the mirror. Is it acceptable?”

“Master, I… can’t see,” Fang Chaozhou’s voice sounded innocent. From his angle, he could only see the top of his head and just a little bit more.

Zhongli Yueshui paused noticeably, then he lifted Fang Chaozhou up in his arms. “Now look.”

Suddenly enveloped in Zhongli Yueshui’s embrace, Fang Chaozhou’s body stiffened for a moment. But he quickly relaxed and turned his head to look in the mirror. Then he fell silent.

To his surprise, Zhongli Yueshui’s hairstyling skills were almost as good as his own—

A messy bun.

No wonder he felt a few loose strands on his face earlier. However, he went against his conscience and continued to inflate his master’s ego, saying, “Master, the hairstyle you did is so beautiful. Your skills are top-notch, better than anyone else’s.”

Midway, he even reached up to swipe away some hair that almost flew into his mouth and tucked it behind his ear.

Zhongli Yueshui frowned, then he released Fang Chaozhou from his hold and took off the hairband.

After a while, a bun hairstyle almost identical to the previous one appeared once again.

Zhongli Yueshui: “…”

Fang Chaozhou: “…”

Fang Chaozhou remembered their plan to descend the mountain, so he took the initiative to break the silence. “Master, let’s go down the mountain first. If we’re late, all the fruits will be sold out.”

Zhongli Yueshui reached out and once again took off the hairband, speaking coldly, “If you’re not properly dressed, how can we go down the mountain?”

Thus, the third identical bun hairstyle appeared.

Fang Chaozhou looked at Zhongli Yueshui’s expression in the mirror and smiled ingratiatingly. “Master, I really think it’s fine now. Let’s go down the mountain.”

Zhongli Yueshui’s gaze turned serious, and after a while, he placed Fang Chaozhou back on the ground. He turned and walked outside, with Fang Chaozhou immediately following. However, when they reached the doorstep, Fang Chaozhou got caught on the threshold.

After walking a distance, Zhongli Yueshui heard the voice of “Master” from behind. He closed his eyes and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. He sighed softly before returning to lift Fang Chaozhou off the threshold.

“You walk too slowly, so I’ll carry you.”

At this point, Fang Chaozhou just wanted to descend the mountain quickly. Whether he was being carried or not, he no longer cared, so he nodded immediately.

Fang Chaozhou, without his cultivation, was held in Zhongli Yueshui’s arms while sitting on the Golden-winged Bird. The wind blowing on his face felt like knives, and he couldn’t help but raise his hand to cover his face with his sleeve. However, it could only block a small portion of the wind.

At that moment, a hand touched the back of his head and applied slight pressure. The next instant, Fang Chaozhou found his face involuntarily buried in Zhongli Yueshui’s embrace.

Zhongli Yueshui caressed Fang Chaozhou’s head with one hand while setting up a barrier with the other.

The speed of the Golden-winged Bird’s flight was incomparable to a sword. In almost no time, Fang Chaozhou felt the bird coming to a stop. He quickly lifted his head and looked around. As expected, they had arrived at the mountain gate.

The disciples guarding the gate were taken aback when they saw someone descending on the Golden-winged Bird. However, they soon realized it was the Sect Master and immediately lowered their heads to pay respects. “Disciples pay respects to the Sect Master.”

Zhongli Yueshui nodded and walked outside the mountain gate. The disciples waited until Zhongli Yueshui had gone far before daring to lift their heads. They exchanged glances and murmured softly.

“The Sect Master rarely descends the mountain. It feels like it’s been many years since we last saw him.”

“Yes, normally I feel dizzy when I see the Sect Master, but why am I not dizzy today?”

“Perhaps the Sect Master suppressed his aura when he descended the mountain. By the way, did you see the little doll in the Sect Master’s arms just now? Who is that?”

“I didn’t see the face clearly. Could it be the Sect Master’s child? But I haven’t heard of the Sect Master having a partner.”

“Could it be an illegitimate child?”

Their expressions instantly turned horrified, and they immediately used voice transmission talismans to secretly inform their close fellow disciples. In just half a day, almost all the disciples of the Tianshui Sect knew a secret:

It seemed that their Sect Master had an “illegitimate child.”

Whenever Zhongli Yueshui left or returned to the Tian Shui Sect, he never passed through the small town at the foot of the mountain. The last time he came to this town was when he had just brought Xue Danrong back to the Tian Shui Sect.

At that time, Xue Danrong was young, orphaned by both parents. Zhongli Yueshui went to the town to buy toys and food for Xue Danrong, but he didn’t accept them.

Xue Danrong had matured at a young age, not only compared to his peers but even surpassing many older people. His perspective was also broader.

Speaking of immaturity, Zhongli Yueshui couldn’t help but glance at the person he had already put down on the ground.

Since arriving in town, Fang Chaozhou’s eyes had been wandering, looking left and right. He even reached out to tug at Zhongli Yueshui’s sleeve. “Master, Master, let’s go to that shop. The pastries there are super delicious.”

After a while, he patted Zhongli Yueshui’s leg incessantly, “Master, they’re selling roasted chestnuts over there! Roasted chestnuts are really delicious, everyone who has tried them says so. Master, do you want to eat roasted chestnuts? I can help you peel them!”

Zhongli Yueshui lowered his eyes and stared at the visibly excited person. His voice was not only cold but also carried a sense of majesty. “Fang Chaozhou, I didn’t say I wanted to buy all those random things.”

Upon hearing these words, Fang Chaozhou’s eyes showed clear disappointment, but he quickly said, “The shop that sells fruits is at the end of this street, Master.”

Hearing this, Zhongli Yueshui continued walking forward. He had long legs, so one step equaled three steps for Fang Chaozhou, who was shorter. After chasing a few steps, the crowd completely blocked Zhongli Yueshui from Fang Chaozhou’s sight.

Fang Chaozhou found it exhausting to chase after him. He couldn’t help but slow down his pace. Zhongli Yueshui must be quite far away from him now, and he could already feel his fingertips going numb.

He looked at his hand and sighed in relief. Luckily, he knew that Zhongli Yueshui was heading to the shop at the end of the street. He continued walking forward, but there were so many people, especially since many couldn’t see Fang Chaozhou due to his short stature.

Fang Chaozhou tried his best to avoid those people, squeezing through the gaps in the crowd. He was being extremely cautious, but he still got knocked down by someone rushing through.

Fang Chaozhou fell to the ground, and he could see feet about to step on him when a pure white hand suddenly appeared, grabbing his collar and lifting him up with force.

In an instant, Fang Chaozhou found himself on the rooftop.

The person holding him emitted a familiar fragrance.

“Why are you alone? Where is the Master?” A cold voice of a young man resounded.
