Chapter 70: The Fourth Edition of Compulsive Disorders + New Ending
Fang ChaoZhou sighed deeply, then reached out his hand, wanting to embrace the young man beside him—
But he couldn’t do it. He paused, exerted more force, and tried again, but still couldn’t embrace him.
Therefore, Fang Chaozhou could only resort to an alternative approach. If the mountain won’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain. He leaned forward and stretched out his hand, firmly patting the other person’s back.
“Kid, why are you so miserable? The men you attract usually have strange fetishes, but being good-looking is not your fault. Dad believes in you. As long as you choose carefully, you will definitely find a loving husband who treats you sincerely.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Danrong lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment. It was only now that Fang Chaozhou finally realized that he was being embraced and started struggling while saying, “Kid, you can’t hold your dad like this. It makes me look completely unimposing!”
The mighty Fang Chaozhou didn’t struggle for long because Xue Danrong moved on to the next question.
“Senior brother, did the Master hit your buttocks?”
Fang Chaozhou immediately nodded and gestured the length of the ruler that had been used to hit him. “This ruler was so long. He struck my legs first, then my hands and buttocks. Zhongli Yueshui, the master, leaves no trace when he hits someone. Even if you were to file a complaint, there would be nowhere to go. Although he personally applies medicine to help you, it still hurts.”
Xue Danrong’s gaze became dim. “Master even helps you apply medicine? Even… to your buttocks?”
“Yes,” Fang Chaozhou confirmed.
Just as Fang Chaozhou’s words fell, his wrist was grabbed. He looked puzzled at his captured hand and lifted his head to ask why he was being held, but as he looked up, he found himself staring into the young man’s face at close proximity.
The vermilion birthmark on the young man’s forehead seemed like a burning flame. Under his thick brows, his phoenix-like eyes were delicately drawn, his rosy lips and fair complexion exquisite.
“How did senior brother know that Song Lianyi is…”
As if finding it difficult to continue, the young man didn’t finish his sentence.
But without hesitation, Fang Chaozhou responded, “He confessed to me, and I saw it with my own eyes.” He finished speaking and continued gazing at Xue Danrong. “Kid, you’re so good-looking. I wonder who will be fortunate enough to have you in the future.”
As he spoke, he revealed a fatherly smile.
Upon hearing these words, Xue Danrong raised his left eyebrow slightly. His usually cool eyes now carried a hint of mischief.
“Senior brother, do you think I’m good-looking?”
“Good-looking!” Fang Chaozhou affirmed without hesitation. “Darling, you’re the most beautiful in the world!”
Fang Chaozhou’s words caused Xue Danrong to pause for a moment. Then, a barely perceptible smile tugged at the corners of his lips. After the smile faded, he turned his head back.
“Then, senior brother, which part of me do you think is the most beautiful?”
This question stumped Fang Chaozhou.
He extended his claws to hold the beautiful person in front of him, examining left and right, gently touching and caressing every part of their ear. After careful inspection, he shook his head with a perplexed expression. “It’s too difficult, I can’t choose. Everything is beautiful—the eyes, the nose, and the mouth.”
“The mouth is beautiful too?” Xue Danrong lightly tugged at the corner of his lips, and his following words carried a deep and alluring tone, as if enticing, “Does the senior brother want to kiss?”
Indeed, it was enticing. In this small cave, Xue Danrong seemed to transform into a mischievous mountain spirit in an instant, one who had assumed human form for many years. Every frown, every smile, every movement was seductive, completely different from his previous appearance as a cold young cultivator.
The young man, captivated by Xue Danrong’s allure, visibly froze and stared blankly. As Xue Danrong approached closer, he seemed to suddenly snap out of it and swiftly turned his head. “No… I can’t… kiss you.”
Xue Danrong’s gaze fell upon Fang Chaozhou’s profile. The earlobe beneath his black hair was faintly visible, tinged with a blush as if brushed with a layer of rouge. “Why? Does the senior brother already have someone else in his heart? Or is senior brother praising me on the surface while secretly finding me unattractive?”
“How could you be unattractive? If you’re considered ugly, then there would be no good-looking person in this world… It’s just… because I’m your non-biological dad, I can’t kiss you,” Fang Chaozhou immediately explained. However, his voice grew softer with the latter half of his sentence under the young man’s gaze. “I can’t kiss you.”
Xue Danrong furrowed his eyebrows momentarily, but quickly relaxed them and lifted Fang Chaozhou’s lowered head. “Senior brother, there are some things that I can’t figure out. I hope senior brother can enlighten me.”
“You can ask me anything, and I’ll tell you everything I know,” Fang Chaozhou said, visibly happier now that the topic of kissing was not brought up.
Xue Danrong lowered his long lashes and his eyes carried a profound meaning. “Did senior brother live on Zhichun Island?”
Fang Chaozhou hesitated briefly at the question. But just then, Xue Danrong repeated it again, his voice accurately entering his ears, causing the hesitation on Fang Chaozhou’s face to vanish.
“Yes.”
This answer left Xue Danrong silent for a moment. Sensing his silence, Fang Chaozhou took the initiative, “Do you have any other questions? Ask quickly, ask quickly.”
He urged Xue Danrong on.
“I feel like I’ve forgotten something. Senior brother did live on Zhichun Island, but I don’t remember.” Xue Danrong chuckled lightly, a touch of self-mockery in his tone. “Actually, I didn’t need to ask senior brother. I could guess some of it, but I wanted to confirm it today.”
Fang Chaozhou, not quite understanding, replied, “Hmm?”
Xue Danrong looked at Fang Chaozhou again, his eyes subtly darkening, like the surface of the sea at night with countless hidden currents beneath. “It’s alright if senior brother doesn’t understand. My next question is—have we crossed any boundaries?”
“Boundaries? What do you mean?” Fang Chaozhou pondered for a moment. “Kissing? Biting? Both of those happened. Or are you referring to…”
As he spoke, his face flushed.
“What is it?” Xue Danrong realized that something was amiss with Fang Chaozhou’s expression and asked in return.
Fang Chaozhou glanced around, then leaned close to Xue Danrong’s ear and whispered a few words. After finishing, he sat back and lowered his voice. “You can’t tell anyone, absolutely no one. If you do, they’ll cause trouble for me. You only helped me because you had no other choice, and our relationship is still pure and innocent.”
As the words fell, Fang Chaozhou’s chin was held in Xue Danrong’s grip.
The young man’s lips were soft, with a hint of coolness.
Fang Chaozhou’s pupils slightly dilated as he gazed at the beautiful face in such close proximity, the young man’s long lashes brushing against his own face, creating a tingling sensation.
With a gentle touch, Xue Danrong released Fang Chaozhou, but his gaze remained fixed on Fang Chaozhou’s lips. “Did I also kiss senior brother like this back then?”
Fang Chaozhou seemed startled, staring at Xue Danrong for a while before reacting. He nodded at first, then shook his head. As he shook his head, the young man’s head lowered again, which Fang Chaozhou didn’t anticipate. He reached out to push Xue Danrong, but instead, his wrists were caught.

Outside the cave.
The brown chicken, having finished drinking water, slowly walked back towards the cave. However, before entering, it heard sounds coming from inside. Its footsteps paused, and its small black eyes glanced left and right. After a while, it cautiously approached the cave entrance, peering in with its head.
As it peered inside, it raised its wings to cover its eyes. However, after a couple of attempts to block its vision, it put its wings down and continued to sneak a peek. But before it could observe for long, a pair of phoenix-like eyes looked in its direction.
The phoenix-like eyes were icy and filled with a killing intent.
The brown chicken quickly retreated several steps. Seeing the cave enveloped in a barrier, it muttered to itself, “Why is everyone mating everywhere? The two-headed snake, and even the pretty boy. Well, well, I’ll go take a bath. Who knows how long it’ll take.”
Xue Danrong heard the fading sounds outside the cave and turned his head back to look at the young man in front of him. The young man’s cheeks were flushed as if intoxicated, his dark eyes shining, and his lips glistening. When he noticed the gaze from the young man, he raised his sleeve and covered his lips, speaking in a muffled voice.
“You can’t kiss me anymore. If you do, I won’t have a face left to be your dad.”
Hearing this kind of remark again, Xue Danrong couldn’t be bothered to argue. He simply bent down and whispered softly, “We don’t have to kiss on the lips, but senior brother, is there anywhere else I can kiss you?”
Fang Chaozhou froze for a moment, then lowered his head to look at himself.
*
Cherry lips wrapped around the cherry (nipples), with a body so fair it dazzled the eyes.
*
Fang Chaozhou pushed the young man with force. When he saw the lifted eyes, they resembled those of a perpetually unsatisfied hungry wolf. He nervously pursed his lips and then raised his hand to cover his chest.
“They… they’re swollen. If we… continue, you might break the skin,” he stammered.
But as soon as these words were spoken, the young man’s gaze became even more intimidating.
*
Fang Chaozhou fell asleep after applying medicine. Before falling asleep, he even remarked that Xue Danrong was becoming a bad influence.
Xue Danrong draped his own outer robe over Fang Chaozhou and observed the peaceful expression on his face as he slept soundly. Using his fingertips, he gently tucked the stray strands of hair on Fang Chaozhou’s cheek behind his ear. Then he stood up and walked out of the cave.
He took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve, stared at it for a while, and then destroyed the pills in his hand.
*
Fang Chaozhou slept for a long time. When he woke up, he first noticed the brown chicken sleeping beside him, and then he saw Xue Danrong sitting not far away.
Xue Danrong used a cloth to clean the Sword of Severed Water. Perhaps he heard the movements of Fang Chaozhou waking up, he looked over, his dark eyes meeting Fang Chaozhou’s gaze. “Senior brother, awake now?”
Fang Chaozhou responded with a sound of acknowledgement. He sat up and furrowed his brow. Unable to resist, he reached over to massage his chest, but with each rub, his brow furrowed tighter. Glancing at Xue Danrong, who seemed focused on the sword, Fang Chaozhou turned his back and unbuttoned his robe, taking a look.
Upon seeing it, he froze.
“What’s wrong, senior brother?”
The young man’s voice made Fang Chaozhou tighten his robe. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, “It’s nothing. Just got bitten by a bug a couple of times.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bottle of ointment was thrown at him.
“This should be effective for treating broken skin and inflammation.”
Fang Chaozhou lowered his head to look at the ointment that was thrown to him, expressed his thanks, and then took it. Still facing away from Xue Danrong, he carefully applied the ointment.
After applying the ointment, he straightened his robe, cleaned his hands, and then looked at Xue Danrong. He stared at him for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.
“Junior martial brother, can you do me a favor?”
“Sure.”
Xue Danrong didn’t ask what it was about; he simply agreed.
Seeing that Xue Danrong agreed without questioning, Fang Chaozhou quickly took out a celadon umbrella from his storage ring.
“I haven’t figured out a name for this umbrella yet. It seems to dislike the names I come up with. Junior martial brother, do you have any good ideas?”
Xue Danrong glanced at the celadon umbrella in Fang Chaozhou’s hand, pondered for a moment, and then used his broken water sword to write two characters on the ground – “Mountain Moon.”
“Mountain Moon? Junior martial brother, you’re really skilled at naming things!” Fang Chaozhou clapped sincerely and complimented. He immediately repeated the words “Mountain Moon” to the celadon umbrella in his hand, but the umbrella remained motionless.
Fang Chaozhou didn’t expect the celadon umbrella to dislike even such a good name, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit angry. It had been nearly three months, and in that time, the celadon umbrella hadn’t taken a liking to any of the names he had come up with. He could understand if they were unattractive or disliked, but the name “Mountain Moon” had a lot of artistic conception, yet the umbrella still didn’t approve.
Frustrated, Fang Chaozhou couldn’t help but say, “If you don’t like Mountain Moon, then let’s just call you Daqing.”
As soon as the words “Daqing” were spoken, the celadon umbrella in his hand suddenly moved.
Fang Chaozhou had never seen the umbrella react like this before. He was stunned for a while before saying, “Daqing?”
He tentatively called out, thinking he might be hallucinating, but to his surprise, the umbrella moved again, this time even more noticeably.
“Senior brother, use your spiritual power immediately and let it recognize you as its master,” Xue Danrong’s voice sounded from the side.
Prompted by Xue Danrong’s reminder, Fang Chaozhou immediately activated his spiritual power. The spiritual power flowed from his fingertips and spread along the area where he held the umbrella, entering the celadon surface. A gentle white light, like water, enveloped the exterior of the celadon umbrella. Gradually, the spiritual power seeped into the body of the umbrella. At the same time, the celadon-colored umbrella surface brightened, and the blue light at the edges became more prominent.
The noise of the awakened brown chicken recognizing its master with a magical artifact disturbed the scene. It blinked its eyes and, upon seeing the words “Daqing” on the umbrella handle, immediately exclaimed, “Such an unpleasant name! This umbrella has no taste!”
The brown chicken’s sudden movement was due to the celadon umbrella emitting a faint glow. Dozens of blue needles appeared on the ground where the brown chicken had been resting, causing it to fly up in a panic. However, it didn’t manage to fly far before falling back to the ground. It looked at the celadon umbrella in Fang Chaozhou’s hand with a terrified expression.
Fang Chaozhou didn’t expect the celadon umbrella to attack the brown chicken. He quickly closed the umbrella and apologized, “I’m sorry, it just recognized me as its master, and I couldn’t control it.”
The brown chicken shook its head and complained, “This umbrella has such a bad temper! Don’t put it away. Let me have a decisive battle with it! I’ll peck it to pieces!”
Despite its words, the brown chicken didn’t come forward. It just stood there grumbling.
Fang Chaozhou tried to calm down the brown chicken and then changed the subject, “Where did you go to drink water yesterday? Why did it take you so long?”
The brown chicken responded, “Where did I spend a long time? You and the beauty were busy mating and didn’t notice when I came back. I had nothing else to do, so I went to take a bath.”
Fang Chaozhou: “…”
He was speechless for a while, then turned his head to look at Xue Danrong beside him. Unlike him, Xue Danrong remained calm. Their eyes met, and Xue Danrong’s expression remained indifferent, as if he hadn’t heard the brown chicken’s words at all.
Fang Chaozhou took a deep breath and looked back at the brown chicken, about to say something, but the chicken interrupted him, saying, “I didn’t peek. You two were making so much noise that I took a quick glance. But the beauty was fierce and chased me away immediately.”
It spoke in a straightforward manner, as if it wasn’t making it up. Fang Chaozhou could only try hard to recall what happened yesterday. He remembered the brown chicken going out to drink water, and then he had a conversation with Xue Danrong in the cave, and then…
The brown chicken kept staring at Fang Chaozhou. Seeing the pale face slowly turning red, it couldn’t help but cluck a few times, “Cluck, cluck, remember now? This little chicken doesn’t tell lies.”
Fang Chaozhou couldn’t clearly remember what happened yesterday. He only vaguely recalled one thing—he seemed to have voluntarily unbuttoned his robe. At the time, he felt that his lips were swollen, and if he could substitute with something else, he could at least reduce the pain.
He suddenly covered his face. What did he do yesterday?
He felt like he was going crazy. Truly going crazy!
“Senior Brother,” the voice of Xue Danrong suddenly sounded.
Startled, Fang Chaozhou quickly turned his head. As soon as he saw Xue Danrong about to speak, he immediately reached out his hand and said, “Don’t say anything! What happened yesterday… I was affected by snake venom and wasn’t in my right mind. It doesn’t count. I… I won’t take responsibility.”
Upon hearing this, the nearby Brown Chicken couldn’t help but shake its head and mutter, “Tsk tsk, heartless man. Once you’ve obtained someone’s affection, you’re now saying you won’t take responsibility. Even us chickens wouldn’t be so despicable.”
Fang Chaozhou turned his head and glared at the chicken, whispering, “It’s not as exaggerated as you’re saying!” Then, he turned his gaze back to the visibly concerned young man and continued, “Junior Brother, regardless, this is my attitude. You mustn’t speak of it to anyone. If you do, I… I…”
He paused for a while, unable to finish his sentence.
Xue Danrong’s eyes were fixed on Fang Chaozhou, and a hint of stubbornness unique to the youth emerged in his eyes. He tightly gripped the sword in his hand and softly said, “If I insist on speaking out, how will you respond? If I insist on taking responsibility, how will you react? And if I insist on becoming your Dao companion, how would you feel?”
