Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC Chapter 99

Chapter 99 

Upon hearing this, no one believed it, but Fang Chaozhou stuck to his words adamantly, refusing to change his stance or provide any evidence. Since there was no juicy information to uncover, people shifted their attention to others, encouraging them to sign up.

This was the first time Fengyue An openly sought a son-in-law. They took the initiative to approach Tian Shui Sect, an action that Tian Shui Sect shouldn’t have concerned itself with. However, the Fourth Elder accepted the gifts and, in a moment of happiness, readily agreed. Thus, the matter was settled.

This husband-seeking event was grand in scale. Out of the twenty people in Fang Chaozhou’s class, eighteen signed up, leaving only him and another female cultivator.

Even though these people initially claimed they wouldn’t go, they secretly registered. Their absence on the day of the preliminary selection was what gave them away, as they had all taken leave. Not only had they asked for leave, but even the teachers who were supposed to teach them had also taken time off.

Fang Chaozhou: “…”

Looking at the empty classroom, he shifted his gaze to the female cultivator who, like him, remained. She noticed his gaze and glanced back before picking up her textbook and leaving the classroom, saying, “I won’t be alone in a room with an unmarried man. A gentleman doesn’t stand under a collapsing wall.”

His roommate shook his head, “I’m not quite sure. We were just assigned to the first round, stood at the entrance for a while, didn’t do anything, and then went to collect the money.”

Fang Chaozhou’s mind brightened up upon hearing this. When he told Brown Chicken about it, Brown Chicken responded—

“I want to go too!”

Fang Chaozhou: “…”

He looked at Brown Chicken, who was standing proud on the table. He questioned his hearing a bit, “Did you just say you want to go too?”

“Of course! Didn’t you say there’s money for signing up? Why shouldn’t I go and get the money? Besides, I’m not going just for the money,” Brown Chicken looked into the distance, speaking earnestly, “I’ve been out here for so long and haven’t encountered a beautiful hen. It’s time to lower my standards.”

Feeling speechless, Fang Chaozhou couldn’t help but cough twice.

Seeing Fang Chaozhou cough, Brown Chicken turned its gaze back, “Don’t worry about me. Although it’s a bit of a compromise to be with someone, there’s nothing I can do now. You don’t have to fear me leaving you. I’ve read the novel. For married people, there’s a concept of dowry. When the time comes, you can accompany me as my ‘dowry’.”

Originally, Fang Chaozhou wanted to dissuade Brown Chicken from this idea. However, he suddenly thought that if both he and Brown Chicken went, they could receive double the rewards. Even if it’s just the first round, two hundred spirit stones could buy a lot of food.

“Alright, then let’s go together tomorrow,” Fang Chaozhou said.

In any case, they would go sign up first, and then they could see whether Brown Chicken’s qualifications were recognized by the other side.

Fang Chaozhou had already found out where to sign up, at the Fourth Peak. So, the next morning, he took Brown Chicken and went to the Fourth Peak.

By the time he arrived, quite a few people were already there. Fang Chaozhou obtained two registration forms—one for his information and another to fill out for Brown Chicken.

Because he didn’t want to attract too much attention, Brown Chicken had transformed into a smaller size and was perched on Fang Chaozhou’s shoulder. It supervised Fang Chaozhou as he filled in its information.

Fang Chaozhou’s form was easy to fill out since most of the information he provided was false. After all, he was just there to collect money. Brown Chicken, on the other hand, had come with the intention of finding a partner.

“Can’t use the name ‘Da Hei’ that you gave me; it lacks grandeur. I want to change it,” Brown Chicken said in a serious tone.

Fang Chaozhou hummed, “You’re right. ‘Da Hei’ doesn’t have much grandeur. But I can’t think of a better name. Did you come up with one?”

Brown Chicken replied, “I didn’t sleep for most of the night, just thinking of a name. I came up with a fantastic one.”

“Really?”

“Juh Hei.”

Fang Chaozhou tilted his head and stared at Brown Chicken for a while. Then he nodded approvingly, “Not bad!”

Following Brown Chicken’s suggestion, he wrote the characters “Juh Hei” on the registration form.

Concerning the age section, Brown Chicken spoke in a hushed tone, “Don’t let anyone say I’m an old chicken going after young grass. Write down a younger age for me.”

“How much younger?”

“Make it half my actual age, so write down 250.”

The pen hung in mid-air. Fang Chaozhou looked at Brown Chicken again, “You told me earlier that you’re still a chick.”

“I am a chick. At my age, I’m still considered a chick. Middle-aged and older chickens are probably over a thousand years old.” Brown Chicken spoke confidently. 

Finally, the registration information was filled out, and they could join the queue to enter.

The registration spot was a courtyard, and everyone was queuing up outside. The line moved quickly, and most people didn’t even go inside the building before leaving. This put Fang Chaozhou’s mind at ease even more, and Brown Chicken was equally reassured. It believed it was destined to be the beloved chicken of the Fengyue An’s abbess. As soon as it made an appearance, the abbess would surely fall in love with it.

Finally, it was Fang Chaozhou and Brown Chicken’s turn. The maid standing at the entrance took the registration forms Fang Chaozhou handed over. She noticed there were two forms and first glanced at Fang Chaozhou’s face, then her gaze shifted downwards, and finally, she looked at the person behind Fang Chaozhou.

Fang Chaozhou realized she had misunderstood and quickly clarified, “I’m here with it.”

He pointed to Brown Chicken perched on his shoulder.

The maid followed Fang Chaozhou’s pointing finger and saw Brown Chicken. The smile that had been on her face froze instantly.

The abbess hadn’t informed the maid about what to do if something other than a human came to participate. The abbess had only mentioned that for the first round, they would examine the cleanliness of the participants’ shoes. If the shoe surface was spotless, they would be allowed in. If there was dirt or mud, they would be turned away.

If humans were judged by their shoes, what would this entity be evaluated by?

The maid’s gaze slid from the meticulously groomed feathers of Brown Chicken to its red claws, which were perfectly clean. It seemed to meet the abbess’s criteria. She decided not to worry about it; she was only in charge of the first round.

With this thought in mind, the maid put on a smile again and said, “Please, both of you, come in.”

Fang Chaozhou was somewhat surprised.

Both he and Brown Chicken had passed the first round?

Brown Chicken wasn’t surprised by the result at all and immediately said to Fang Chaozhou, “What are you staring at? They’re inviting us in.”

Fang Chaozhou thanked her and followed her instructions, entering the courtyard. As soon as he walked in, someone led him to a side hall.

Inside the side hall, there were two maids dressed in pink and blue.

The two maids received two registration forms from the guide and saw that Fang Chaozhou was alone. They looked a bit puzzled, “Where’s the other person?”

The guide stifled a laugh, “They’re both here. The other one is on his shoulder.”

Upon hearing them mention it, Brown Chicken immediately flew down from Fang Chaozhou’s shoulder, reverting to its original form. “Yes, the other one is me. I’m called Juh Hei. You can call me Juh Juh or Hei Hei.”

It spoke while puffing up its chest, strutting back and forth in front of the maids as if showcasing its masculinity.

Seeing this, the maids burst into laughter, and one in the pink dress said, “Oh my, there’s actually a chicken that wants to be the abbess’s husband. What was Yue Ling thinking? She actually let a chicken in.”

“Sister, how should we test them in this round?” the one in the blue dress asked.

The pink-dressed maid finally managed to suppress her laughter a bit, “Let’s do it the same way as before.” With that, she asked Fang Chaozhou and Brown Chicken to take their seats.

After both Fang Chaozhou and “Juh Hei” were seated, she and the blue-dressed maid walked over with measuring tapes. “Please lift your feet,” she instructed.

Upon hearing this, Fang Chaozhou looked at Brown Chicken, who immediately fell on its back, its claws pointing to the sky and towards the pink-dressed maid in front of it.

This action triggered another round of laughter.

Fang Chaozhou initially found it odd why they measured his feet, but seeing the brown chicken cooperating so well, he lifted his foot as well.

Leaving aside the brown chicken’s situation, the blue-clad maidservant who was measuring Fang Chaozhou’s foot size looked at the measurement, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She then stood up and said, ‘The young master will go to the inner hall later.’

Upon hearing this, the Brown Chicken quickly asked, ‘And what about me?’

The pink-clad maidservant, who had withdrawn her hand from pinching the Brown Chicken’s claw, suppressed a smile and said, ‘You too.’

After Fang Chaozhou and the Brown Chicken were led to the inner hall, the blue-clad maidservant immediately turned to the pink-clad one beside her and asked, ‘Sister, why did you let that chicken enter the third round? Its feet clearly don’t match the size.’

The pink-clad maidservant responded, ‘The abbess hasn’t smiled happily for a long time. That chicken is quite interesting. Maybe the abbess will like it when she sees it.’

Inner hall.

Once again, Fang Chaozhou took his seat amidst laughter and merriment. As soon as the Brown Chicken entered the courtyard, it was as excited as a weasel entering a chicken coop. Watching it dance and sing, captivating the attention of the maidservants, Fang Chaozhou suddenly felt that the Brown Chicken might actually succeed this time.

The maidservants quite liked the Brown Chicken, even eagerly reaching out to touch its feathers. If the maidservants liked it, perhaps the abbess would as well.

As Fang Chaozhou pondered how he would decline the role of dowry if the Brown Chicken succeeded and truly became the consort of the Abbess of Fengyue An, a maidservant approached him with a cup of tea. However, she didn’t steady the teacup properly while handing it to him.

The teacup tipped over, spilling half of the tea onto Fang Chaozhou’s boot.

“Ah, what should we do? I’ve wet the young master’s shoes,” the maidservant immediately put down the teacup and looked anxiously at Fang Chaozhou’s boot.

The maidservants nearby who were laughing noticed the commotion and said, “Fortunately, the tea is lukewarm at this moment. Otherwise, take a look at your leather closely. You should quickly remove the young master’s boots and wipe them clean.”

“No need, I can use a spell to dry them,” Fang Chaozhou was about to use magic, but then he heard the teapot-pouring maidservant choke up.

“Please allow me to make amends, Young Master. Otherwise, my abbess will scold me for not understanding etiquette,” the teapot-pouring maidservant said tearfully.
