Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC Chapter 95

Chapter 95 

The eyes of the Brown chicken widened instantly from a half-squinted state, even its wings trembled slightly.

“What happened?” 

Fang Chaozhou decided to withhold his initial words and instead raised an eyebrow in doubt. “Why do I feel like you’re excited now?”

“Am I that kind of chicken? Would I get excited just because you encountered a pervert?” After saying this, the Brown chicken nodded its head, “Apparently, I am. So, tell me, what kind of weirdo did you run into? I’ve been bored to death while you were gone today.”

Fang Chaozhou: “…”

His mouth twitched, and he walked to the bedside, taking a seat. “On my way back just now, I felt someone following me. However, when I used the ‘Sensing Art’, I couldn’t sense the presence of any living beings. Later, I fell asleep unknowingly while taking a bath, and my neck turned out like this.”

No, this shouldn’t be possible. Who would fall in love with someone who had coerced them into dual cultivation? 

Besides, both the face he showed while dual cultivating with Xue Danrong and his current appearance were unattractive, even ugly. Xue Danrong wasn’t known for having a penchant for loving the unattractive, was he?

Wait a moment, what if he did?

It seemed that during their dual cultivation, Xue Danrong had a habit of staring at his face and even kissing him.

Fang Chaozhou shook his head abruptly, finding his thoughts getting more and more outrageous.

At this point, everything was just his speculation. After all, he hadn’t caught the weirdo in the act, and catching a person also required catching evidence.

If that weirdo comes again, he’ll definitely catch the person and knock the person’s head off!

The next day, as Fang Chaozhou entered the classroom, he overheard the people nearby discussing Xiao Que’s situation.

“Xiao Que was sent down the mountain last night. I heard he cried miserably and even… called out Senior Xue’s name.” The speaker glanced around while saying the second part, seemingly afraid that the teacher responsible for the morning class might hear them.

“He dared to call out Senior Xue’s name? Yesterday, when he saw Senior Xue was in, it was unbearable to look at. I think it’s good that he was expelled. How could a cultivator be like him?”

“I’ve heard that Senior Xue hates it when people stare at him. Xiao Que was like that yesterday. Even if he didn’t faint, Senior Xue wouldn’t have let him stay here.”

Fang Chaozhou pulled out a piece of preserved fruit and popped it into his mouth, silently listening to the chatter of those around him. However, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

“Fang Zhuo, be careful too.”

Fang Chaozhou was puzzled, “Huh?”

The person’s expression turned serious, “You and Xiao Que came back from the backyard together yesterday. What if Senior Xue thinks you have a good relationship with Xiao Que? For the next few days, it’s better if you don’t do anything.”

Fang Chaozhou pondered for a moment, “I don’t think he would.”

Although he lost his previous memories, he felt that Xue Danrong was to some extent a very tolerant person. Besides, he didn’t seem to be as extreme in his aversion to others staring at his face as they described.

Sometimes, Fang Chaozhou found himself staring blankly at Xue Danrong’s face too.

This was mainly because Xue Danrong’s face was undeniably handsome, especially when paired with his cold demeanor. Otherwise, Fang Chaozhou wouldn’t be feeling his bones practically falling apart each time.

When he got lost in looking at Xue Danrong’s face, the latter didn’t get angry. Sometimes, he would even touch Fang Chaozhou’s face or even kiss him.

“Don’t dismiss my words. Weren’t you punished yesterday? Senior Xue only remembered your name. When he punished the other two, he didn’t mention any names. You’ll see, I think you might get punished today too.”

Before Fang Chaozhou could respond, the teacher for the morning class had arrived, so the person hurriedly returned to their seat.

The teacher for today’s morning class was different from yesterday’s. This instructor was here to teach them about the basics of magic tools.

As soon as this teacher appeared, someone took a sharp breath in.

“Goodness, it’s Senior Kang from Wuzhi Peak. He’s a master at crafting magic tools. I’ve heard that even one of his talismans is worth ten thousand spiritual stones. How could he be teaching us outer disciples?”

“We’re so lucky.”

The crowd sighed.

Senior Kang appeared gentle, speaking in a soft and gentle manner. After learning that he was a master in crafting magic tools, Fang Chaozhou not only thought about the golden anklet on his ankle, which he hadn’t been able to remove, but also during the break between classes, he sought out Senior Kang, who was resting in a nearby compartment, sipping tea.

Senior Kang knew Fang Chaozhou’s purpose and didn’t show any annoyance. He gestured for Fang Chaozhou to sit down.

When Fang Chaozhou took off his sock and rolled up his pant leg to reveal his ankle, Senior Kang’s eyes brightened. He leaned in, closely examining the golden anklet, and after a while, he said, “You want to remove this string of golden anklets?”

“Yes,” Fang Chaozhou nodded, “Is it possible to remove it?”

Senior Kang adjusted his position, “It’s possible to try. Are you sure you want to remove it? This anklet is a defensive sacred tool. There are only two of them in the world. One is said to be used as a burial item, buried with its original owner, and the other one is on your leg.”

Fang Chaozhou hadn’t realized the anklet was so powerful, but after thinking for a moment, he said, “I want to remove it.”

He didn’t like wearing such an anklet on his foot, especially since he had no idea who had given it to him.

The owner of the anklet shouldn’t be Xue Danrong.

If it were Xue Danrong, he would have recognized Fang Chaozhou. Xue Danrong had shown no reaction to the anklet, nor had he touched it.

“Since you want to remove it, I’ll give it a try.” Senior Kang said.

Senior Kang truly lived up to his reputation as a master craftsman. After a quarter of an hour’s effort, he managed to remove the golden anklet from Fang Chaozhou’s foot. Fang Chaozhou had tried countless methods before, all in vain.

“Keep this item safe. If you want to put it on again in the future, press this switch,” Senior Kang showed Fang Chaozhou the internal mechanism of the golden anklet, “If you decide to take it off after wearing it, you can come find me.”

“Thank you, Senior,” Fang Chaozhou placed the golden anklet into his storage ring.

After finishing the morning class, Fang Chaozhou went to ask for leave from Xiang Yuan. He had submitted his manuscript a while ago, and it was about time to check whether his work had been accepted by the editor.

Xiang Yuan readily approved the leave, knowing that the current classes were basic and not particularly necessary for Fang Chaozhou.

After leaving the mountain, Fang Chaozhou headed straight to the bookstore. However, when he saw the bookstore owner, who had been noticeably cheerful last time, his expression changed today.

“You’ve come. Have a seat. I’ll brew some spirit tea for you,” the bookstore owner rose from behind the counter but accidentally knocked over a stack of books.

This unusual behavior caught Fang Chaozhou off guard. When the owner brought the spirit tea, Fang Chaozhou spoke up first, “Did my manuscript not get accepted?”

“No, it got accepted,” the bookstore owner quickly reassured, “And the payment has been processed. I can settle it for you shortly.”

Although his words were reassuring, Fang Chaozhou noticed a slight tremor in the hands that carried the tea.

Fang Chaozhou inquired if something was wrong, but the bookstore owner insisted that everything was fine. He promptly handed over the spirit stones to Fang Chaozhou, but he did mention that although they were satisfied with his recent manuscript, they hadn’t contacted him for any more assignments in recent times.

No assignments meant no income.

No income meant no ability to buy water-based magical treasures.

While he had just acquired a significant amount of spirit stones, if he didn’t continue earning money, given his expenditure, there would be a day when he would run out. In fact, that day might not be far off. He hadn’t gone to Xue Danrong for dual cultivation in a month.

This led Fang Chaozhou to remember what Xiao Que had said yesterday – that the items on him were all extraordinary. So, why not sell a few?

With this idea in mind, Fang Chaozhou went to a pawn shop. However, the items that Xiao Que had mentioned didn’t fetch much value at the pawn shop. Even when Fang Chaozhou presented the water-based magical treasure he had just bought, the pawnbroker significantly lowered the price by seventy percent.

Seeing Fang Chaozhou’s increasingly downcast expression, the pawnbroker couldn’t help but explain, “Customer, it’s not that I’m intentionally lowering your price. It’s just that the items you’re trying to sell are too common. Let’s take the water-based magical treasure you just showed me as an example. There are many similar items like this, so it’s too common. That’s why I don’t see the need to buy it.”

As Fang Chaozhou heard this, he suddenly realized, “You’re looking to acquire items that are rare in the world?”

“Exactly,” the pawnbroker nodded, “I deal in unique items. Only unique items can fetch a good price at auction. To be honest with you, everything I collect at the pawn shop eventually goes to auction.”

The only unique item he seemed to have was the string of golden anklets.

Fang Chaozhou glanced at the pawnbroker and then took out the golden anklet, “What about this item?”

The pawnbroker picked up the anklet, examined it, and when he was about to put it down, he looked at it again. This second look lasted for about fifteen minutes. Finally, he put down the golden anklet and said, “This anklet can barely do. I can offer you five hundred spirit stones for it.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Chaozhou quickly retrieved the golden anklet and turned to leave. He had barely taken a few steps when he heard the pawnbroker’s voice, “Wait, customer! If you’re not satisfied with the price I offered, we can discuss it further.”

Although Fang Chaozhou initially ignored him, the pawnbroker followed him outside and forcefully led him to the second floor of the pawn shop. With each step, the offered price increased, starting from five hundred and eventually reaching two hundred thousand spirit stones.

Fang Chaozhou hadn’t really thought of selling the anklet, but when he heard the offer of two hundred thousand spirit stones, his heart wavered.

Seeing Fang Chaozhou’s silence, the pawnbroker clenched his teeth, “I’ll add another fifty thousand – two hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones. I can’t go any higher. If I go any higher and auction it later, I’ll be selling at a loss.”

Fang Chaozhou looked at the golden anklet in his hand for a moment and then raised his head to face the pawnbroker, “Round it up, three hundred thousand.”

…

Fang Chaozhou struck it rich, and neither he nor his “chicken” got much sleep that night.

They had never seen so much money before, especially Brown chicken. When it found out that Fang Chaozhou had half a million spirit stones in his savings, it excitedly spun around in place. Fang Chaozhou got dizzy just watching it, and it only stopped after a while.

That night, they slept in their beds.

“Let’s sneak down the mountain tomorrow night,” Brown chicken suggested.

“There’s a Drunken Feast Inn down the mountain,” Fang Chaozhou said.

“And the dried fruit shop we both like,” Brown chicken added.

“Chestnut shop.”

“Roast chicken shop.”

“Duck stew… Wait, roast chicken shop?” Fang Chaozhou looked at Brown chicken, lying on its back and kicking its legs in the air.

Brown chicken looked back innocently, “What’s wrong?”

Fang Chaozhou couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up to Brown chicken, “Nothing. Let’s eat – everything. Tomorrow, we won’t leave any store untouched.”

Because they were discussing food, their sleep was disrupted. Brown chicken could catch up on its sleep, but Fang Chaozhou had a tough time. He almost overslept, and during the morning classes, he looked like a wandering soul, not even understanding what the lecturing teacher was saying.

In the afternoon, Fang Chaozhou’s struggle with drowsiness intensified. During the break between classes, he couldn’t resist anymore. He found an empty classroom and planned to take a short nap.

However, he didn’t anticipate that his short nap would extend until it was already dark outside. When he woke up, he was startled and quickly got up. As he tried to leave the classroom, he noticed that there were other people inside.

Since it was completely dark outside, he couldn’t see the person clearly, just their silhouette.

The person was seated on a chair not far from him.

A sense of unease swept over Fang Chaozhou. He secretly took out his night-pearl lamp, but the moment he did, he hurriedly put it away.

It was indeed Xue Danrong!
