Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC Chapter 92

Chapter 92

As Brown Chicken had mentioned, being close to Zhichun Island did indeed make dual cultivation more convenient, and along the way there and back, he hardly encountered anyone.

After returning from dual cultivation, he could sleep as long as he wanted. Here, while he fed the fish, no one came to supervise him. Only once every half month, someone would deliver fish food.

Fang Chaozhou calculated the time. It had been over half a month since he last submitted his manuscript. He requested leave from the mountain.

This time, he received extremely favorable treatment at the bookstore, a stark contrast to the first time.

“Come, come, have a seat here,” the shopkeeper pulled Fang Chaozhou to a seat and even personally brewed a cup of spirit tea for him. “Try the new tea I bought. See if it’s good. If it is, take some home to brew.”

Feeling overwhelmed by the shopkeeper’s overly enthusiastic reception, Fang Chaozhou began to suspect something. “Shopkeeper, has my manuscript been approved?”

The shopkeeper clenched his teeth. “Two spiritual stones per word.”

Fang Chaozhou’s hand on the armrest trembled. He pursed his lips and hid his inexperienced hands in his sleeves, striving to maintain a calm tone. “I’m not sure about the requirements this time. Are they the same as last time?”

“This time, there are a few differences. First, add some passionate scenes. Even though you wrote well last time, you glossed over those parts, barely touching on them. The person hopes you can elaborate on the passionate scenes, the more detailed and numerous, the better. Second, this time the child needs to be born, not die in the womb. Third, emphasize the indescribable and unbreakable bond between Fang Chaozhou and Li Zhu. 

The shopkeeper paused at this point and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. After studying it for a moment, he added, “Fourth, add a new character.”

“Who?”

The boss handed the paper to Fang Chaozhou, lowering his voice, “Song Lianyi, the new abbess of Fengyue Temple. That person hopes you can vividly depict all of Song Lianyi’s ugliness.”

Fang Chaozhou took the paper, feeling a bit bewildered, “But I don’t know what kind of person Song Lianyi is.”

The boss winked, “That’s easy. Just write her as a complete villain, like you did in the fanfic. And make sure to emphasize her appearance as unattractive.”

Fang Chaozhou hesitated, “How unattractive should I make her?”

“As unattractive as possible,” the boss replied, “Even more unattractive than you.”

Fang Chaozhou sighed, “Okay.”

With another assignment in hand, Fang Chaozhou resumed the late-night writing routine, although the explicit scenes were proving to be quite challenging.

Reading about intimate scenes and writing them were two completely different experiences. While reading, Fang Chaozhou focused on the chemistry and atmosphere between the main characters, but while writing, he couldn’t help but wonder if certain positions were realistic.

Due to this, during his dual cultivation sessions, Fang Chaozhou paid extra attention and even discreetly took out a pen and paper while in the bath.

Without realizing it, Fang Chaozhou let slip his feelings about the poor state of the bathing facilities in Zhichun Island. To his surprise, Xue Danrong had constructed a hot spring, even though he had no idea how. Nevertheless, having access to the hot spring greatly improved Fang Chaozhou’s comfort.

“What are you writing?”

A voice from beside him made Fang Chaozhou jump. He immediately wanted to hide the paper, but it was too late. A slender, snow-white hand snatched the paper from him.

Fang Chaozhou quickly turned around and saw Xue Danrong looking at his paper. He considered snatching it back, but thought better of it. Moreover, it might appear too cowardly and would reveal that he had something to hide.

“Just writing something out of boredom.”

Xue Danrong was also soaking in the hot spring like Fang Chaozhou. His long hair was scattered around him, and the steam from the spring had given his snow-white face a rosy hue. After glancing at the paper for a moment, he raised his eyes, a hint of indistinct emotions in his phoenix-like gaze, “Who is this about?”

“I told you, just scribbling something out of boredom. No one in particular,” Fang Chaozhou was relieved that he hadn’t written any names, using simple symbols to represent “Fang Chaozhou” and “Li Zhu.” “Are you done reading? Give it back to me.”

Fang Chaozhou reached out to take the paper, but Xue Danrong not only didn’t return it, he also grabbed Fang Chaozhou’s hand and pulled him closer.

“There are some parts you’ve written incorrectly,” Xue Danrong’s hand moved to his waist.

Sensing danger, Fang Chaozhou reached out to press down on Xue Danrong’s shoulder, his expression nervous. “Really? I’ll make the necessary changes later.”

Xue Danrong’s lips curled slightly, a faint smile on his face. “Why not make the changes right now?”

After a thorough correction guided by practical experience, Fang Chaozhou fully understood his mistakes. With Xue Danrong holding his hand, he carefully corrected all the errors with a pen.

However, even after this profound correction, Fang Chaozhou’s writing began to deviate. He hadn’t noticed the discrepancy himself; it was Brown Chicken who discovered it.

“Don’t you think this ‘Li Zhu’ you’ve written about resembles someone?” Brown Chicken said with a grave tone.

Fang Chaozhou looked at the section it pointed to, perplexed. “Resemble who?”

With a flap of its wings, Brown Chicken underlined a certain part heavily. “It’s the phoenix-like eyes again, the snowy attire. You’re only missing a vermilion mole between his brows.”

Fang Chaozhou:

Carefully reviewing his writing, he was relieved to find that he had only given “Li Zhu” phoenix-like eyes and a penchant for snowy clothing in the explicit scenes.

“Do you need to make a lot of changes if you alter this?” Brown Chicken asked, seeing Fang Chaozhou’s solemn expression.

Fang Chaozhou nodded and then shook his head, conflicted. “I’m in a dilemma. If I change the appearance in the explicit scenes, it requires a major overhaul. But if I change the descriptions in other parts, it would be easier. There are only two instances with appearance descriptions earlier on.”

Hearing this, Brown Chicken gave a straightforward answer, “Then change the earlier parts.”

Fang Chaozhou agreed and nodded. “Let’s just make it ‘phoenix-like eyes and snowy attire’ throughout. It’s simpler.”

Strangely enough, once he altered the description of “Li Zhu’s” appearance, Fang Chaozhou found himself in the writing flow. The explicit scenes could almost be copied verbatim, with minor adjustments to details.

Thus, he spent twenty days, immersing himself completely and finishing the manuscript in one go.

After finishing, Fang Chaozhou finally remembered Xue Danrong, whom he had forgotten in Zhichun Island. He quickly checked his mental space and almost immediately, the infant within his mental space began to cry.

So, with a heavy heart, Fang Chaozhou had to bravely face it and sneak into Zhichun Island. After all, he had written for twenty consecutive days, and he was now both exhilarated and exhausted.

Sitting by Xue Danrong’s bed, Fang Chaozhou glanced at him and blurted out hurriedly, “Dual cultivation today.”

After uttering those words, his gaze shifted elsewhere.

Unlike Fang Chaozhou’s evasive gaze, Xue Danrong’s gaze remained fixed on Fang Chaozhou, his eyes unwavering. “Alright.”

Seeing Xue Danrong’s agreement, Fang Chaozhou hesitated briefly before leaning in. When he saw the beautifully shaped lips, he moistened his own lips and initiated a light touch, a gentle graze. After the contact, his kisses trailed downward, starting from the chin and the Adam’s apple…

…

“Wait!” Fang Chaozhou caught Xue Danrong as he was about to lie down. He looked into Xue Danrong’s eyes briefly, then shifted his gaze to Xue Danrong’s hand. “Let’s not use that position today.”

Xue Danrong slowly sat up, his pitch-black eyes fixed firmly on Fang Chaozhou. “Why?”

“I feel like I’m always on top first, which doesn’t seem fair. Let you take the lead today,” Fang Chaozhou deliberately spoke in a casual tone.

Anyway, he wouldn’t admit that the reason he wanted to avoid the position was because it was too tiring. Honestly, he didn’t even know how he managed two rounds of that position during their first dual cultivation session, although he hadn’t sustained it the entire time during the second round.

In truth, today he just didn’t have the energy for it. Writing had exhausted him, and he couldn’t muster the strength.

Upon reflection, relinquishing the initiative in this exhausted state didn’t seem that bad. Lying down was more comfortable, even though the end result would still be similar—sore waist, weak legs, boneless exhaustion. At least during the process, he wouldn’t need to exert himself too much.

Thankfully, his ailment required water. If he had to expel water, wouldn’t he have to exert effort throughout? Just thinking about it was exhausting.

Lying down was simpler, more comfortable.

However, because it was so comfortable, Fang Chaozhou couldn’t help but discreetly take out a piece of dried fruit from his storage ring and sneak it into his mouth. But as he chewed, his eyes suddenly met Xue Danrong’s gaze from above.

Fang Chaozhou: “___”

In silence, he pulled out another piece and held it near Xue Danrong’s lips.

Xue Danrong’s phoenix-like eyes lifted slightly, and he took the dried fruit into his mouth, accidentally brushing Fang Chaozhou’s fingertip in the process. When Fang Chaozhou felt the moisture on his fingertip, his lips twitched. After Xue Danrong finished the dried fruit, Fang Chaozhou swiftly withdrew his hand, using a handkerchief to meticulously wipe it.

Xue Danrong: “____”

Then Fang Chaozhou realized he wasn’t feeling as comfortable anymore.

He hated the position, and he despised being forced into it.

It was only on the morning of the third day that Fang Chaozhou returned. As soon as he got back, he collapsed onto the bed. However, just as he lay down, he suddenly bounced up.

Brown Chicken, who had been sprawled out asleep, was disturbed by Fang Chaozhou’s movement. It squinted its eyes, “What’s going on with you?”

Fang Chaozhou clenched his teeth, shifted his posture, and sat on the soft bed.

After settling down, he raised his hand to press against his chest, “It hurts, my whole body hurts.” His gaze shifted lazily to Brown Chicken, who had just woken up, “I’m starting to feel that this isn’t about getting back at Xue Danrong anymore, but about getting back at myself.”

All because of that hand-wiping motion, Xue Danrong had almost swallowed him up. If it weren’t for Fang Chaozhou squeezing out a few drops of tears, he might not have returned today.

Why did Xue Danrong have to be so diligent? It was just a session of dual cultivation. Could it be that he was really so afraid of the so-called poison?

“Of course it’s to get back at him. You’re the one using him for treatment. What can he get from you? Besides, have you not noticed that your temper has been improving lately? You haven’t been stealing things anymore.” Brown Chicken muttered and closed its eyes.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t stealing, it was more like pilfering.

When they shared a room at Datong Inn before, Fang Chaozhou had stolen things at night. However, he only did so when his roommates were fast asleep, so they had no idea that their belongings were being taken. Moreover, Brown Chicken would take back the stolen items while Fang Chaozhou was sleeping, just to give them back.

It actually didn’t want to return them, but Fang Chaozhou told it when he was awake that it had to return them, otherwise he’d withhold its snacks.

Fang Chaozhou made a humming sound, “That’s true, but when will this come to an end?”

“If you weren’t like this right now, going to sleep with him every few days, it would have ended a long time ago.” Brown Chicken opened one eye, “If you want a quick resolution, you should return to Zhichun Island today, go on for nine or ten days. If that’s not enough, go on for another nine or ten days. If it still doesn’t work, then extend it to several tens of days, or even a month. If you put in such effort, you’re bound to succeed. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”

Fang Chaozhou imagined what Brown Chicken said, and his face turned a bit pale, “No! I’ve decided, no!” As he spoke, he slowly lay down, wrapping himself in the blanket like a long, sluggish worm, “I won’t go back to Zhichun Island. I’d rather be backfired, fall into demonic cultivation, or die, than go back.”

Translator’s note: If he’s going to do that, he’s going to surely die from exhaustion!!! hahahahaha
