Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC Chapter 77

A scream suddenly echoed inside a cave.

“Ah! Fang Chaozhou, you finally woke up!”

The one screaming was a brown chicken, its round beady eyes fixed on the young man who sat up.

Just a moment ago, as usual, it was about to come in to check on Fang Chaozhou’s condition, but to its surprise, he not only opened his eyes but also sat up.

Five years had passed since it rescued Fang Chaozhou from the underground demon realm, or rather, Fang Chaozhou rescued it from the underground demon realm five years ago.

Back then, when the underground demon realm collapsed, it couldn’t escape in time and was trapped underground. Just when it thought it would die there, Fang Chaozhou suddenly appeared and saved it.

The young man hesitated for a moment before replying, “I understood. You’re saying I’m a disciple of the Tian Shui Sect, called Fang Chaozhou, but I was abandoned by the sect.”

“That’s right,” the Brown Chicken confirmed.

Fang Chaozhou pondered for a moment and asked, “Has no one come looking for me in these five years?”

“Yes,” the Brown Chicken replied. It had been guarding here for five years and hadn’t seen anyone come looking for Fang Chaozhou during that time.

Five years later.

Suddenly, a scream echoed inside a cave.

“Ah! Fang Chaozhou, you finally woke up!”

The one screaming was a Brown Chicken, its beady eyes staring intently at the young man who was sitting up.

Just moments ago, it was preparing to check on Fang Chaozhou’s condition as usual when it saw him not only open his eyes but also sit up.

It had been five years since it rescued Fang Chaozhou from the underground demon realm, or rather, Fang Chaozhou saved it from the underground demon realm five years ago.

Back then, when the underground demon realm collapsed, it couldn’t escape in time and was trapped underground. Just when it thought it would die there, Fang Chaozhou suddenly appeared and saved it.

At that time, Fang Chaozhou was in a pitiable state, covered in blood, and pale. He carried it on his sword to the nearest mountain and then fainted.

Due to the large number of monsters escaping from the underground demon realm and the fact that it was carrying an unconscious person, it dared not go anywhere. So, it could only hide Fang Chaozhou in an unclaimed cave, where they spent the past five years, with Fang Chaozhou never waking up.

But now, after patiently waiting for so long, Fang Chaozhou woke up! It could finally leave this dreadful place, this barren mountain where even a chicken sister couldn’t be found.

However, after it screamed, it didn’t see Fang Chaozhou responding with excitement. Instead, it heard three sentences that it often read in novels:

“Who are you? Who am I? Where is this?”

Brown Chicken: “…”

Half an hour later.

The Brown Chicken perched on the young man’s leg, speaking with a serious, even somewhat solemn tone. “Did you understand?”

The young man hesitated for a moment before replying, “I understood. You’re saying I’m a disciple of the Tian Shui Sect, named Fang Chaozhou, but I was abandoned by the sect.”

“That’s right,” the Brown Chicken confirmed.

Fang Chaozhou pondered for a moment and asked, “Has no one come looking for me in these five years?”

“Yes,” the Brown Chicken replied. It had been guarding here for five years and hadn’t seen anyone come looking for Fang Chaozhou during that time.

Fang Chaozhou sighed, “Doesn’t that mean I’m in a pretty miserable situation? I saved people and ended up falling into the underground realm, but no one came looking for me in five whole years.”

The Brown Chicken immediately flapped its wings and puffed up its chest. “Not miserable at all! You have me! If you don’t want to return to the Tian Shui Sect, come with me to roam the mountains and play in the waters. I’ve been bored here for too long. Back then, it was you who begged me to make a contract with you, saying you’d take me to play in the mountains and waters. You can’t back out now!”

Though Fang Chaozhou had lost his memory, he still felt that something was amiss. He looked at the Brown Chicken nestled on his leg and said, “Did I really beg you to make a contract with me?”

The Brown Chicken hesitated for a moment, glanced elsewhere with its beady eyes, and quickly returned its gaze, trying to sound resolute and strong, “Of course! Do you think I’m lying to you? Back then, if you hadn’t chased after me for over ten miles, would I have given you this deal? I am a renowned demonic chicken, and many cultivators wanted to make a contract with me, but I didn’t agree to any of them.”

Looking at the “renowned demonic chicken” in front of him, Fang Chaozhou’s lips curved up, but he held back his laughter. After a moment, he couldn’t resist and burst into laughter. However, that laughter seemed to trigger something painful, and he immediately stopped laughing.

“Serves you right,” said the Brown Chicken indignantly.

Having slept for five years, Fang Chaozhou’s limbs felt weak. It wasn’t until the next day that he could get out of bed. The first thing he did after getting up was find a pond to bathe in. Although he was a cultivator, and his body naturally stayed clean, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

While bathing, he found a mirror in his storage ring and looked at his own face. Perhaps due to sleeping for five years, his face looked too pale, a kind of pale that lacked any trace of color. Besides his face, even his body looked excessively pale, with visible blue veins.

As Fang Chaozhou examined his body, he noticed a string of golden bells bound to his left ankle, which he couldn’t remove. With a slightly larger movement, he could hear the jingling sound of the bells.

Why was there a golden bell on his ankle? Could it be that he was originally a flamboyant man, announcing his presence wherever he went?

Thinking of this possibility, Fang Chaozhou’s expression turned slightly disdainful.

He asked the Brown Chicken about the golden bell, but even the Brown Chicken didn’t know. However, it told him, “This golden bell is clearly a magical treasure. Since you can’t remove it, it means you are not its owner. Someone else must have put it on you.”

“By the way, Fang Chaozhou, are you planning to return to the Tian Shui Sect?” the Brown Chicken asked again.

Fang Chaozhou hardly needed to think about this question and gave an answer, “No, I won’t go back.”

He had already been abandoned by the sect, and no one came looking for him in five years. Why should he return?

Fang Chaozhou had a plan in mind. Once his body felt better, he would leave the mountain with the Brown Chicken and wander around, becoming a carefree cultivator. However, this plan was halfway shattered that very night.

“Fang Chaozhou, what’s wrong with you?” the Brown Chicken said anxiously.

Fang Chaozhou could barely hear the Brown Chicken’s voice now. He felt dry, his throat was dry, and his body felt dry. He wanted water. As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he rushed outside and headed straight for the pond where he bathed earlier. Without any hesitation, he jumped into the water.

Immersing himself in the water seemed to relieve the dryness on his body, but it was still not enough. Fang Chaozhou submerged his head underwater, but no matter how long he stayed there, he still felt the thirst. He craved water, a lot of water.

The sky gradually brightened.

The Brown Chicken, nestled in the cave, heard the commotion, opened its eyes, and saw the exhausted young man returning. It tilted its head and asked, “Are you done soaking in the water?”

“Uh-huh.” Fang Chaozhou sat down on the dry grass he had been lying on before. He had soaked in the water all night, and he still felt thirsty until dawn, gradually feeling better only when daylight approached.

“What happened to you?” The Brown Chicken stood up and approached Fang Chaozhou.

Fang Chaozhou rubbed his forehead with his hand and said, “You mentioned that a big monster dragged me underground and attacked with vines, right?”

“Yes,” replied the Brown Chicken.

Fang Chaozhou lowered his hand and hesitated before saying, “I seem to have swallowed that big monster.”

Silence filled the air.

Fang Chaozhou looked at the motionless Brown Chicken and couldn’t help but wave his hand in front of it. “What’s wrong?”

The Brown Chicken finally reacted and took a deep breath. “How could you have swallowed that big monster? Beasts swallowing humans and humans swallowing beasts are different things. You could get into big trouble.”

“I think I already did. That big monster was probably of the wood element, which is why I was so thirsty.”

Last night, while soaking in the water, Fang Chaozhou inspected his sea of consciousness. To his surprise, he saw a vine inside it, and his infant form in the sea of consciousness was sitting next to the vine, grabbing a corner of it and gnawing on it.

He tried to stop the infant, but whenever he made a move, the infant would cry, and whenever the infant cried, Fang Chaozhou’s body would ache. In the end, Fang Chaozhou had to give up and watch the infant gnaw on the vine all night.

“Is it tasty?” Fang Chaozhou couldn’t help but ask.

The infant’s eyes remained closed, but it could speak. “Tasty, but I want water, lots and lots of water.”

“I’m in the water right now,” Fang Chaozhou replied.

The infant shook its head. “Not this water.”

“What kind of water is it talking about?” Fang Chaozhou threw this question at the Brown Chicken. He had asked the infant what kind of water it wanted last night, but the infant didn’t know either. It just kept repeating that it wanted water.
