Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC Chapter 75

Chapter 75

“Tick-tock, tick-tock…”

Fang Chaozhou was awakened by the sound of water. He opened his eyes in a daze, not yet realizing where he was. Then, he heard a sinister voice.

“You’re finally awake.”

He paused for a moment, attempting to sit up, only to find his whole body in excruciating pain, as if something heavy had crushed him all over. Especially his legs, they seemed completely numb and unable to move.

He tried to prop himself up with his elbow but quickly fell back down.

“Don’t move. Your tendons are severed. You’ll need to rest for a while,” the sinister voice echoed again. When the voice stopped, a rustling sound followed.

Fang Chaozhou had been carefully observing his surroundings while asking questions. This place resembled a sealed cave, with dim lighting. The only source of illumination was the light emitted by the celadon umbrella that had fallen with him.

The celadon umbrella now lay beside him, emitting a faint glow that slightly illuminated the area he was in.

The area where the vine extended was pitch black, making it difficult for Fang Chaozhou to see. However, he speculated that the entity that had captured him should be there, as the dripping water sound also came from that direction. Instead of killing him outright, it seemed that the captor had a use for him since they had waited for him to wake up.

“It can heal your broken tendons. Hurry up and ask your other questions,” the voice stated.

Fang Chaozhou looked at the vine on the ground and asked, “Can I wash it before drinking?”

The vine, which had been tapping on the ground, suddenly paused. Then, the voice carried a hint of anger, “You dare to be picky? Do you think you’re a guest here? Don’t think that I…”

“Then go ahead and kill me,” Fang Chaozhou silently lay back down, placing his hands on his abdomen, assuming an extremely calm posture.

“…Go ahead and wash it,” the voice relented.

Upon hearing this, Fang Chaozhou opened his eyes again and slightly raised his head, looking at the dark area where the vine extended. “How many days have I been captured by you?”

The voice grew angrier, “How would I know? There’s no sunlight here, making it impossible to tell the time.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Chaozhou looked up at the ceiling, “The underground realm has collapsed. Can’t you leave now?”

As soon as these words were uttered, Fang Chaozhou instantly heard a rustling sound. He was shocked and turned his head, only to see more than a dozen vines reaching out towards him. Before he had a chance to struggle, he was tightly bound.

“You insolent brat, how dare you mock me? Do you think I won’t kill you? I can just kill you and wait a little longer. I’ve been waiting for so many years; a few more days won’t make a difference.”

Feeling the vines tightening around him, Fang Chaozhou hastily spoke up, “I didn’t mock you. I was just… merely curious. Did you actually hear my laughter just now?”

The vines on his body instantly stopped.

Fang Chaozhou breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “I am a dying man. How could I have the audacity to mock you? If you don’t mock my low cultivation level, that’s already quite generous of you.”

“Your cultivation level is indeed low. With such great aptitude, you’re merely at the Golden Core stage, a waste.”

The voice spoke bluntly, but at the same time, the vines retracted, leaving only the original one.

Fang Chaozhou accepted the term “waste” without any psychological burden. He glanced at the vine that remained, for some reason, he had no trace of spiritual power in his body at the moment, unable to perform any spells. Looking at the vine covered in dirt, he could only take out a handkerchief and carefully wipe it.

While he was focused on wiping the vine, the voice spoke again.

“How much longer are you going to drag this out?”

“Almost done, almost done. After all, it’s something to be consumed, so I have to wipe it carefully,” Fang Chaozhou replied half-heartedly while diligently wiping the vine. After using up three handkerchiefs, he reluctantly brought the vine close to his lips.

Could he really trust this thing? Even if it wasn’t a deception, could he actually eat this thing?

“Hurry up!”

The vine in Fang Chaozhou’s hand suddenly flicked his back, causing him to tighten his grip. Frowning, he bit down on the vine.

“Ugh—”

Fang Chaozhou nearly vomited. He had never tasted something so disgusting before. As he took a bite, the juice from the vine flowed into his mouth, ten times more bitter than bitter melon juice.

“If you’re going to vomit, make sure to lick it up from the ground.”

Fang Chaozhou: “…”

How ruthless. This person had truly been sealed away for many years.

Silently, he forced himself to swallow the juice he hadn’t managed to swallow initially. Even though the bitterness made his eyes red, he dared not vomit and could only suppress the urge to do so.

“Continue drinking,” the voice commanded.

Fang Chaozhou’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, but he dared not disobey. He could only continue drinking the bitter bile-like substance, suppressing the urge to vomit several times.

After an unknown amount of time, the vine in his hand suddenly retracted. “That’s enough.”

Fang Chaozhou’s throat and mouth were now filled with bitterness, but he noticed that his legs seemed to have regained some sensation and could move slightly. He lay on the ground, cautiously trying to move his feet, although he could only move them horizontally and not lift them.

The voice remained silent after saying “that’s enough.” Fang Chaozhou speculated that the other party might be waiting for his body to recover before making other plans.

He had read about the evil technique of body possession in books before.

Perhaps the entity here couldn’t leave on its own and needed to use his body, but these were just Fang Chaozhou’s speculations. He stared upward and slowly took out something from his storage ring. It felt cold in his hand, and he squeezed it with force, crushing it.

“Senior Brother, Junior Brother has woken up and is insisting on returning to the underground realm.”

Upon hearing this, the senior brother turned around and entered the room where Xue Danrong was.

Several people crowded around Xue Danrong’s room, blocking the entrance. The young man trapped inside the room was only wearing an inner robe, with his black feather-like hair cascading over his shoulders. His face was pale, devoid of color, and everything seemed lifeless. The only remaining color was the dark pupils, whether it be the vermilion mark on his forehead or his lips.

He supported himself with the Sword of Severed Water, tearing off the bandages wrapped around his hands and throwing them on the ground. His actions were rough, causing some recently healed scabs to be forcibly torn open again, and his hands started to bleed.

Blood flowed down his sword, but Xue Danrong paid no attention. His voice was extremely cold as he spoke, “Step aside!”

The senior brother quickly entered the room upon witnessing this and said, “Junior Brother, you’re still severely injured and haven’t fully recovered. It’s better to return to the sect first…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a sword appeared in front of his neck.

“Junior Brother!”

“Junior Brother, what are you doing?!”

“Junior Brother, please put down the sword!”

The people were shocked and prepared to rush forward to stop Xue Danrong.

At that moment, the senior brother raised his hand to halt the junior disciples behind him. “It’s alright, Junior Brother has just woken up, and his mind is still somewhat unclear.”

Xue Danrong, with an expressionless face, looked at the senior brother. “Let me go.”

The senior brother fell silent for a moment before saying, “Junior Brother, your aura is completely chaotic at the moment. How can I, as your senior brother, feel at ease letting you go back? Our Master has already sent word that he will go to the underground realm.”

“I have to go back. He’s waiting for me,” Xue Danrong said almost word by word, taking out a jade pendant from his sleeve. The jade pendant was shimmering with light.

Seeing the mandarin duck jade pendant in Xue Danrong’s hand, everyone fell silent. Finally, it was the senior brother who spoke first, “Going back now would be suicide. The underground realm has already collapsed, and there might be another collapse. Besides, there are demonic beasts in the vicinity. Our Master has sent word to me that he will personally go there. You should focus on recovering from your injuries and wait for news in the sect.”

“I can’t wait,” Xue Danrong’s teeth trembled slightly. “I just want to bring him back. He’s waiting for me. It’s because of me that he was captured. I owe him my life.”

While he was speaking, the senior brother calmly exchanged a glance with the junior disciples behind him. Taking advantage of Xue Danrong’s momentary distraction, they all rushed forward together.

Xue Danrong was once again tied up tightly with the Immortal Binding Rope and placed back on the bed. He was furious, his eyes turning red, but he couldn’t free himself from the ropes.

The senior brother stood by the bed, witnessing a side of Xue Danrong he had never seen before. The previous Xue Danrong was aloof, as if nothing could affect him. However, he had never expected this kind of stubbornness from him.

“If you want to scold me or hate me, or even kill me in the future, that’s fine. But Second Junior Brother saved your life, and he definitely doesn’t want to see you like this. In any case, I don’t want to see any one of you in trouble.”

The bound young man remained silent, but his tightly clenched teeth caused blood to seep out. Blood flowed from his lips, down his snow-white chin, and stained his clothes. The senior brother was taken aback, but before he could speak, he saw Xue Danrong suddenly spew out a mouthful of blood.

The bright red blood stained his clothes.

His once cold and clear phoenix eyes became hollow.

He seemed to gaze into the distance, unable to stop the flow of blood. One mouthful after another, as if the blood wouldn’t stop. The astonished exclamations of the people around him no longer reached his ears. He just tightly held onto the jade pendant in his hand.
