Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC Chapter 71

Chapter 71: It doesn’t count as the sect leader being cuckolded…

As these words were spoken, the nearby brown chicken couldn’t help but glance at Fang Chaozhou and even leaned closer, whispering, “Look at how things have turned out. Why don’t you just accept him? After all, he looks so good, and you won’t lose out.”

Fang Chaozhou was infuriated by this chicken, no, this bird. He turned around and grabbed the brown chicken’s beak, lowering his voice as he said, “Stop meddling in other people’s affairs. It’s impossible between him and me.”

The brown chicken suddenly shook its head, breaking free from Fang Chaozhou’s grip. “Well, if you really don’t want to take responsibility, I’ll use my decoy technique on him later, and then we can escape while we have the chance.”

It said this without lowering its voice, so besides Fang Chaozhou, Xue Danrong nearby could also hear it clearly.

Fang Chaozhou decided not to discuss this matter with the brown chicken anymore. Talking was futile. What truly mattered was to have a good conversation with Xue Danrong.

He turned his head and looked at Xue Danrong, adjusted his breathing, and then said, “Junior Brother, I am a mere mortal with no great ambitions. If we become dao companions, I will only hold you back. Besides, what happened yesterday was purely accidental. Surely you wouldn’t burden a poisoned person with responsibility, right?”

Fang Chaozhou looked back and lowered his voice. “Then you do it.”

The brown chicken quickly glanced at the side, as if it hadn’t heard Fang Chaozhou’s voice.

Conveniently, there was a lake nearby, so they decided to rest by the water’s edge. The brown chicken became excited when it saw the water and couldn’t wait to jump in, happily swimming around in the water.

On the shore of the lake, there were only Fang Chaozhou and Xue Danrong. Fang Chaozhou sat for a while, sneakily stealing glances at Xue Danrong beside him. However, Xue Danrong didn’t look his way; his gaze seemed to be fixed on the lake.

After much hesitation, Fang Chaozhou quietly turned around. His chest still ached, and it had been several hours since he last applied the medicine. He took out the medicinal ointment, loosened his belt, and loosened his robe. Just as he was about to apply the medicine, he suddenly heard Xue Danrong’s voice from behind.

“Senior Brother.”

Fang Chaozhou trembled at the sound, and without thinking much, he quickly gathered his clothes and didn’t turn around. “Hmm?”

“Is Senior Brother applying medicine?” Xue Danrong’s voice remained calm.

Fang Chaozhou felt somewhat embarrassed by the question but could only bite the bullet and reply, “Yes.”

“The injury was caused by me, so I should help my Senior Brother apply the medicine.” As the voice came closer, footsteps approached from a distance.

Fang Chaozhou didn’t expect Xue Danrong to say that. He immediately clutched his clothes tighter and stammered, “No… there’s no need. I… can do it myself.”

As he spoke, the young man had already arrived in front of him. Xue Danrong seemed as if he hadn’t heard Fang Chaozhou’s words. He crouched down, his eyes cold and clear, his expression pushing others thousands of miles away. Yet, his actions contradicted his demeanor. “Isn’t it common for senior brothers to help each other? I’m just helping my Senior Brother apply the medicine. Senior Brother, with such vigilance, could it be that the words you spoke earlier were false? Rather than seeing me as a junior brother, do you view me as a man with intimate relations?”

Fang Chaozhou was momentarily at a loss for words. He wanted to refute, but he didn’t know how to go about it.

While Fang Chaozhou hesitated, Xue Danrong extended his hand, his tone cold. “Senior Brother, rest assured, I am not one to persistently pursue someone. Since the Senior Brother has already refused, I won’t pester you. I merely want to resolve what I’ve done.”

After finishing his statement and noticing that Fang Chaozhou was still indecisive, with a slightly dim expression in his eyes, Xue Danrong directly took the medicinal ointment from Fang Chaozhou’s hand. Simultaneously, he set up a barrier, enveloping him and Fang Chaozhou within it, preventing anyone from seeing what might occur.

After completing these actions, Xue Danrong said to Fang Chaozhou, “Senior Brother, let go of your hand.”

Fang Chaozhou tightened his grip on his clothes and pursed his lips. After hesitating for a while, he slowly released his hand. As he did so, he turned his face away. However, he couldn’t help but hear Xue Danrong’s next words.

“Senior Brother, I have one hand with the medicine and the other holding the medicine bottle. The Senior Brother needs to open his robe himself.”

Upon hearing that, Fang Chaozhou immediately turned his face back. He looked at Xue Danrong with a mix of disbelief, his gaze fixed on Xue Danrong’s hand.

Xue Danrong wasn’t lying; he indeed had medicine in one hand and a medicine bottle in the other, but…

“You can put down the medicine bottle,” Fang Chaozhou said.

Xue Danrong glanced down at the medicine bottle in his hand, with a somewhat indifferent expression. “So, Senior Brother wants me to personally open Senior Brother’s robe?”

After imagining that scenario, Fang Chaozhou shook his head immediately. “I’ll do it myself.”

But doing it himself didn’t seem to make things any better. In fact, the feeling of embarrassment grew even stronger. Fang Chaozhou dared not look at Xue Danrong at all. He looked at the sky, the trees, the grass on the ground—anything but the other person.

After what felt like a long time, he finally felt the other person’s hand retract. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, in the next moment, he heard Xue Danrong’s voice again, “Let’s apply medicine to the injury on Senior Brother’s calf as well. There might be residual toxins.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Chaozhou immediately tried to gather his clothes and stop the other person’s actions. But just as his hand was about to gather his clothes, Xue Danrong’s hand reached out to stop him, his tone calm. “Senior Brother just applied the medicine, so put your clothes back on. If you wear them now, the ointment will stick to your clothes, and you’ll have to apply it again later.”

Apply it again?

He couldn’t apply it again.

Fang Chaozhou could only grasp his clothes again, but as he saw Xue Danrong rolling up his pants, he couldn’t help but say, “Junior Brother, I’ll take care of the injury on my leg myself.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Danrong raised his phoenix-like eyes, and there was a hint of sharpness in his gaze. However, he only stared at Fang Chaozhou for a while without speaking, and slowly retracted his hand.

Fang Chaozhou let out a sigh of relief, but just as he relaxed, he tensed up again.

Xue Danrong wasn’t going to help him with the medicine on his leg, but he didn’t leave either. His gaze was still fixed on Fang Chaozhou, and from Fang Chaozhou’s observation, it seemed to be focused on the spot where he had just applied the medicine.

Fang Chaozhou stiffened, then slowly shifted his body to the side where Xue Danrong couldn’t see his front. Only then did the breath he had been holding finally fully release.

After waiting for a while and feeling that the ointment had dried, Fang Chaozhou eagerly gathered his clothes tightly and re-fastened his belt. Just as he finished fastening his belt, a bottle the size of a wine jug was handed to him.

It was the medicine Xue Danrong used to wash Fang Chaozhou’s wound yesterday.

Fang Chaozhou thanked Xue Danrong before taking the medicine. He rolled up his pants, and the wound that had looked somewhat gruesome the previous night appeared much better now. However, the dual serpent mark on his calf still showed no signs of fading.

He pursed his lips and rinsed his wound with the medicine water. Just as he finished rinsing, a handkerchief was handed to him.

Fang Chaozhou hesitated for a moment before accepting it.

After applying the medicine, he let down his pants and looked at the medicine in his hand, as well as the now dirty handkerchief. “Junior Brother, this medicine…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Xue Danrong spoke up, “Senior Brother, you don’t have to return it to me. It’s just the handkerchief that I really like.”

“Ah? Then I’ll wash it and give it back to you.” Fang Chaozhou quickly replied.

“Senior Brother, how about compensating me with another one? I believe Senior Brother must have some personal handkerchiefs,” Xue Danrong suggested.

Indeed, Fang Chaozhou had many, including some valuable ones. Since he had soiled the handkerchief Xue Danrong liked, he took out almost all of his precious handkerchiefs from his storage ring. “These are all unused. Junior Brother, you can pick any one you like.”

Xue Danrong lowered his eyes, his gaze gliding over those valuable handkerchiefs, and shook his head. “My handkerchief has been used for a long time. I’m sorry for not taking one that Senior Brother hasn’t used. Compensating me with a used one will suffice.”

Fang Chaozhou found the statement a bit strange, but he still went to find one of his used handkerchiefs. Finally, he found a piece of ice silk handkerchief that he had only used once. He had used it on the day they entered the underground demon realm, and after using it, he had washed it before putting it away.

“How about this one?” he handed the ice silk handkerchief to Xue Danrong.

Xue Danrong glanced at it and reached out to take it. “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

“I should be the one thanking you. I soiled your handkerchief, so I should compensate you with a new one,” Fang Chaozhou quickly responded.

However, according to convention, compensation should be with new items.

Xue Danrong didn’t reply. He simply took the handkerchief and put it in his embrace, close to his heart. When Fang Chaozhou saw where he placed it, he paused for a moment before standing up.

He looked at the lake, where the brown chicken was still swimming. Fang Chaozhou couldn’t help but twitch his lips. The brown chicken wasn’t just casually swimming; it seemed to be as agile as a fish in the water, swimming back and forth, diving underwater from time to time and popping its head up. It seemed to swim faster than even the fish.

Fang Chaozhou had intended to ask if the brown chicken had played enough, but just at that moment, there was a sound nearby—a voice speaking.

Fang Chaozhou was taken aback and immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from.

A group of people was approaching from the east. They didn’t notice Fang Chaozhu and Xue Danrong, who were enclosed by the barrier, and walked straight ahead. The person leading the group was someone Fang Chaozhou recognized—Li Zhu.

Unlike the day before, Li Zhu was accompanied by a group of demonic cultivators. He wore black clothes and had a stern expression on his small face. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to the demonic cultivators behind him. “You’ve been talking for so long, but can’t come up with a good solution. Just tell me directly, how can I capture my flamboyant stepmother here?”

The last sentence almost came out as a shout.

One of the demonic cultivators pondered for a moment before saying, “Young Master, this is a difficult matter. The underground demon realm is vast, and it’s challenging to find someone. Perhaps we should wait until we leave and come up with a plan.”

“If we leave, it won’t be my turn anymore. My father is always obsessed with lust. If he knows that Fang Chaozhou has come to the underground demon realm, he’ll probably rush here like a dog smelling meat buns. He didn’t even come to see me off last time, saying that with my stepmother’s temperament, he would never come to such a dangerous place.” Li Zhu’s anger grew as he spoke. He angrily pulled out a black whip from his waist and fiercely lashed at the empty ground beside him.

His anger left the demonic cultivators at a loss for words.

“Young Master, when we went to Tian Shui Sect to propose a marriage alliance and intended to marry Fang Chaozhou as the Madam of our sect, we were already rejected. He no longer counts as our sect’s Madam. If he is involved with the girl from the Fengyue Temple, it doesn’t count as him cuckolding our sect leader. Young Master, please don’t be angry,” a daring demonic cultivator spoke up.

But as soon as he spoke, he received a lash on his side.

“I want to be angry! Not only do I want to be angry, but when I catch him, I’ll also make him pay the price for being promiscuous,” Li Zhu grumbled, his cat-like eyes wide open. “That girl from the Fengyue Temple is as useless as a withered branch. It’s better to choose me instead!”

Fang Chaozhou, the legendary seductress stepmother, felt extremely awkward. He chuckled emptily twice. “This guy is full of nonsense and slanderous words.”
