Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC

The youth’s figure was slim, and he wore a single layer that revealed it. It was somewhat different from when he was outside. Xue Danrong in the Joyful Knowledge Islet was obviously much more casual. Only cloth strips were tying up his long hair simply, relaxed and neat, just like a white broad-leaved epiphyllum blooming in the dark night.

But when Fang Chaozhou saw this, he couldn’t help wondering if his Youngest Shidi was chilly, especially when he saw cold wind pouring into Xue Danrong’s sleeves. When the sleeves puffed up from the wind, he, who took the route of staying warm, really could not help it anymore and rummaged out another fox fur coat from his storage ring, got up, and handed it to the other party, “Youngest Shidi, put this on.”

The two fox fur coats were similar models, but just the colors were different. When he bought them, the owner of the tailor store said that it was buy one, get one free.

The one he wore was white, and the one he handed to Xue Danrong was fiery red. He suspected the fiery red was too flamboyant, so he didn’t wear it.

Xue Danrong had already walked to Fang Chaozhou and glanced at the fiery red fox fur coat Fang Chaozhou was holding. He didn’t take it and just said indifferently: “I already know Master’s order. For the following half a year or longer, Second Shixiong needs to cultivate with me. Since I have accepted Master’s order, I will naturally supervise and urge Second Shixiong properly. I hope Shixiong will not disappoint Master’s painstaking efforts.”

Fang Chaozhou paused, “So?”

Xue Danrong didn’t answer this question and instead turned around and walked toward the cave dwelling. He opened the cave dwelling’s door, and when he reached the entrance, he turned his head to look at Fang Chaozhou, who was still standing in place.

Upon seeing this, Fang Chaozhou could only catch up with him. When he entered Xue Danrong’s cave dwelling, he realized how harshly his Youngest Shidi had been living. Not to mention sleeping on a stone bed, the cave was massive, but it was basically inside except for a few essential things. 

Xue Danrong raised his hand slightly, and the Cutting Water Sword automatically flew up to the shelf on the wall. No, it was not a shelf. Fang Chaozhou looked closely and found that they were two protruding stone points. The only Cutting Water Sword in the world was pressing against the tips of the stones with difficulty, maintaining its balance.

“Second Shixiong needs to cultivate with me for the following days, so I bought a stone bed for Shixiong.” Xue Danrong’s phoenix eyes swept to another stone bed very far away from his bed.

Fang Chaozhou looked at the simple and crude stone bed and couldn’t smile, “Youngest Shidi, why don’t I sleep in my own cave dwelling and come here every day to cultivate with Shidi?”

Xue Danrong looked at Fang Chaozhou and calmly sentenced him to death, “Master already sealed the force field after Shixiong entered Joyful Knowledge Islet. Master said I could only let Shixiong leave after Shixiong breaks through into Nascent Soul.”

The current Fang Chaozhou was just a Golden Core. How difficult was it to step into the Nascent Soul from the Golden Core?

Many cultivators couldn’t even make that breakthrough in their life. Fang Chaozhou was disheartened and felt like he would grow old and die in Joyful Knowledge Islet. There was obviously no such occurrence in the original book.

However, the original owner in the original book got the outstanding achievement of third place in this Cultivation Convention, unlike him, who only got 40th+ place. However, by doing this, his master was totally spoiling things with excessive enthusiasm!

The original owner only stepped into Nascent Soul from Golden Core in the later stages, also under the circumstance of him obtaining a lucky chance. It was impossible to want him to break through into Nascent Soul now, in a short half-year!

He couldn’t, really couldn’t.

He couldn’t even think about breaking his master’s force field. Now he could only stay here sincerely. Maybe if he honestly cultivated for a while or his master thought he was hindering Youngest Shidi’s cultivation later, he would possibly drive him out.

Fang Chaozhou didn’t want to sleep with Xue Danrong in the same cave dwelling. He didn’t actually hate Xue Danrong and was just used to sleeping alone. Who could accept getting an extra roommate out of the blue?

The Desire Candle was in charge of him in the Dark Soul Sect, making him unable to control his sleep. Hence, he could sleep with Xue Danrong on the same bed. Plus, he had no other choice then. Sleeping on the floor was too painful.

But Joyful Knowledge Islet didn’t have a second cave dwelling. He tried sleeping outside the cave dwelling, but after being out for a little while, the freezing wind blew him in. The icy wind was frigid like a bone-scraping knife, especially after nightfall; the wind could blow away people or be to the degree of blowing away a cultivator.

Fang Chaozhou finally understood why Xue Danrong was cultivating so fast. Under such a nasty situation, perhaps he would’ve died here long ago if he didn’t.

Xue Danrong’s cave dwelling was the warmest place, so Fang Chaozhou had no choice. However, he couldn’t get used to it and sleep on the incredibly hard stone bed. But fortunately, there were really a lot of various things in his storage ring.

After a short while, seven or eight layers of mattresses covered Fang Chaozhou’s stone bed. The quilt was soft and fragrant; anyone who saw that bed would lie down uncontrollably.

In addition, Fang Chaozhou also placed a folding screen with twelve beauties in the middle of the two stone beds. But coincidentally, the beauties drawn on these twelve screens were the twelve places on the people’s Beauty List. Xue Danrong was on this list, so when Xue Danrong saw himself on a screen, he distinctly twisted his brows.

The obtuse Fang Chaozhou didn’t find anything inappropriate with this at all. The magic treasure shop had gifted it to him when he was being extravagant there, saying that if he touched the beauties on the screens with his fingertips, the beauties would smile sweetly.

Fang Chaozhou didn’t look at this screen in the least and put it directly into his storage ring, only taking it out for use today.

When he realized that Xue Danrong had been staring at the screen fixedly, he followed the other party’s line of sight. Only then did he recognize that it was wrong. He thought about it, then took a silk handkerchief to cover the face of Xue Danrong’s portrait on the screen.

As expected, Xue Danrong turned his eyes away with this. Fang Chaozhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Chaozhou did not cultivate today; Xue Danrong said cultivation would start tomorrow, letting him first adapt to the climate of Joyful Knowledge Islet today.

That night, Fang Chaozhou suffered from insomnia, something he hadn’t gone through in a long time. The last time was when he had freshly transmigrated into the book, missing the modern internet.

Only when insomnia reached the second half of the night did he finally feel a little sleepy, but at this time, movements came from the other side of the screen.

Xue Danrong had seemingly woken up.

Fang Chaozhou was a little surprised because it was only just 3-5 am at that time, and the sky was even dark outside.

Youngest Shidi was really too hardworking. Thinking like this, Fang Chaozhou buried his face in the quilt. But who knew he would hear Xue Danrong’s icy voice after burying his face for a little bit?

“Second Shixiong.”

Fang Chaozhou trembled under the quilt. Youngest Shidi probably won’t come to order him to get up, right?

Sure enough, he heard Xue Danrong’s succeeding sentence in the next instant, “It’s time to get up and cultivate.”

Fang Chaozhou: …

He acted like he couldn’t hear him.

But Xue Danrong didn’t let him off at all, “Second Shixiong, I know you heard me. Master said if Second Shixiong doesn’t get up early for one day, he will burn all of Shixiong’s huabens. If you don’t get up for two days, he’ll burn all of Shixiong’s snacks. If you don’t get up for three days, Master will come over in person.”

Fang Chaozhou: …

He poked his head out of the quilt and pretended to have just woken up, “Youngest Shidi, is it already the second day? Then I’ll get up and cultivate at once. Time is so precious.”

Sob sob sob, he must protect his precious huabens and snacks.

The sky hadn’t brightened yet, and the blackness was like a giant net enveloping the entire Joyful Knowledge Islet. When Fang Chaozhou was getting dressed, his fingers couldn’t even help shivering. When he left the cave dwelling, he was blown by the wintry wind and almost reincarnated again.

He really didn’t know how Youngest Shidi lived in Joyful Knowledge Islet.

Because it was too cold, Fang Chaozhou was practically burying his face in his clothes. If one saw him walking from a distance, one would think he was a white bear walking over. Although Xue Danrong was not wearing only a single layer like yesterday, he was only sporting a Heavenly Water Sect disciple’s uniform outside, which was in stark contrast to Fang Chaozhou’s appearance, who was very afraid of the cold.

Fang Chaozhou followed Xue Danrong forward. He also didn’t know where Xue Danrong was going. After all, he just had to find a good place to cultivate, but what Fang Chaozhou never expected was Xue Danrong taking him to the chilly pond of Joyful Knowledge Islet.

The cold pond was like its name. The white mist resembling threads were twisting together, forming a sea of ​​fog and floating on the water. They were unhurriedly hovering and drifting, creating a fairyland.

“Undress and go in.” Beside him, Xue Danrong unexpectedly opened his mouth.

Fang Chaozhou thought he heard it wrong, “What?”

Xue Danrong looked back at Fang Chaozhou indifferently, “This is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in Joyful Knowledge Islet. Cultivating here will get you twice the result with half the effort. If Second Shixiong wants to break through into Nascent Soul within half a year, he must cultivate in this cold pond.”

Fang Chaozhou just faintly saw ice chunks floating on the water’s surface. This frigid pond looked like a paradise but was actually an ice hole. Would he die if he entered it? Probably not.

In the original work, Xue Danrong was often depicted cultivating in it.

Fang Chaozhou, who had been at a loss for a while, still gritted his teeth and decided to attempt it. He wanted to leave Joyful Knowledge Islet.

Fang Chaozhou found a big clean rock beside the cold pond. Only after applying a Cleansing Skill did he take off his fox fur coat, shoes, and socks and put them on the rock. He didn’t take off all his clothes at all, because it was really too cold. He didn’t dare to strip entirely before entering.

Let’s go into the water first, then undress his wet clothes after getting accustomed.

Fang Chaozhou walked to the side of the icy pond, looked at Xue Danrong, who was standing nearby, and took a few deep breaths before stretching out his foot tentatively, which pierced through the white fog. He paused on the pond’s surface for a bit, then slowly went down.

As soon as the ice-cold water touched his toes, Fang Chaozhou retracted his foot at lightning speed. Not only that, but he also sprinted to the rock’s side and tried to put on his shoes and socks again.

But the Cutting Water Sword stopped his movements.

“Second Shixiong, you must go in.” Xue Danrong looked at him expressionlessly.

Fang Chaozhou, who was sitting on the stone, looked at the Cutting Water Sword that was unexpectedly above his wrist. When he moved his fingertips, the point of the Cutting Water moved as though if he dared to pass through, the Cutting Water Sword would dare to cut him down.

When Fang Chaozhou and Cutting Water Sword were at a deadlock, Xue Danrong said another sentence, “Master said that Shixiong must break through Nascent Soul before he can leave Joyful Knowledge Islet. Could it be that Shixiong wants to live here forever?”

He didn’t!

But the water was truly so cold.

Xue Danrong seemingly wasn’t going to wait for Fang Chaozhou anymore. He walked to the side of the pond water first, took off his clothes, and stepped into the water with only a single layer on. The fog lingered around his whole body instantly, following him toward the middle of the pond water.

He began to meditate in the middle of the pond water.

Fang Chaozhou looked at Xue Danrong, whose facial features were almost covered by the fog, and hesitated for ages but stood up. Forget it; it was better to get over with rather than prolong the agony. Even Youngest Shidi, the protagonist bottom, could endure it. Why couldn’t he?

After all, he was also one of the male leads; he couldn’t embarrass the original owner.

Thinking like this, Fang Chaozhou resolutely walked toward the cold pond, gritted his teeth, and stretched out his foot. When he touched the water’s surface, he couldn’t help inhaling. When he stepped his whole foot in, he felt like he was going to stop breathing, but it was just the beginning.

He tried to put his other foot in again, and the cold air extended upward, following the arch of his foot. In practically only a second, he felt like his legs were about to go numb as if ice cubes had crawled into his body by following his blood, freezing his legs’ veins.

Fang Chaozhou’s teeth were even about to gnash out a fire. He wanted to get out immediately, but even Xue Danrong was sitting in the middle of the pond water, perfectly fine. How could he be more delicate than the protagonist bottom? Impossible!

Therefore, Fang Chaozhou still endured it and walked forward step by step. When the pond water covered his lower legs, he really couldn’t walk, but he couldn’t sit down either.

He stood in place as if someone had cast a Body Fixation Skill on him.

Just as Fang Chaozhou came to a deadlock with himself, he heard the sound of water. When he looked toward the sound, he found that Xue Danrong, who was still sitting in meditation just now, had stood up.

Now the clothes soaked wet in the pond water were completely sticking to his body, and so was his black hair. At this time, Xue Danrong finally didn’t resemble a cold and cheerless white broad-leaved epiphyllum anymore. He was like a water demon, a beautiful but cold water demon.

His long hair meandered like a snake, the single layer of clothing outlined his curves, pale-skinned, red lips, the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows was as red as a lotus, and a white fog encircled his entire body. He advanced toward Fang Chaozhou step by step.
