Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC

Even though he transmigrated, why was he still allergic to mustard?

Whenever Fang Chaozhou consumed mustard, his face turned red, his body reacted with a rash, and the most severe symptoms include palpitations and shortness of breath. It felt as if someone was choking him.

Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but loosen his collar. The distance between here and Du Yunxi's place was quite far, so he could only fly over on his sword. Although he might face scolding afterward, he had no other choice.

He took out his flying sword, about to mount it, when he heard a voice from behind, "Senior Brother."

It was Xue Danrong's voice.

Upon hearing this voice, Fang Chaozhou's action of mounting the sword halted. He struggled to stand up, leaning against a tree, and was about to step onto the flying sword. However, before he could take off, he fell from it.

At this moment, he felt dizzy and short of breath, unable to stabilize himself. The sound of his heavy breathing was audible even to himself.

"Senior Brother." The owner of the voice had already reached his side. "What's wrong with you?"

Fang Chaozhou looked up at the young man before him, gritted his teeth, and reached out to grab his sleeve. "Junior Martial Brother, can you take me to Fifth Martial Brother's place?"

Xue Danrong lowered his gaze and, in the next instant, directly reached out and lifted Fang Chaozhou, who was sitting on the ground. Fang Chaozhou was startled by this sudden action, but soon, he had no energy to be surprised and could only weakly slump in the other's arms.

His breathing became more and more rapid, and even his vision started to darken.

There seemed to be someone calling him by his ear, but Fang Chaozhou couldn't hear it clearly. Then, it seemed like someone wanted to feed him medicine, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter how hard he tried.

"I can't get the medicine into his mouth. What should we do?"

"I'll do it."

When Fang Chaozhou woke up again, he found himself in Du Yunxi's cave. As soon as he opened his eyes, he met a face.

Du Yunxi visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him awake. "Second Martial Brother, you're finally awake. I was worried that the pill wouldn't take effect and was about to feed you other pills. Fortunately, you woke up." He reached out and touched Fang Chaozhou's neck. "But even though you're awake, the rash on your body hasn't disappeared yet. We need to apply medicine."

After uttering those words, Du Yunxi turned and left the room. Fang Chaozhou stared at him, and from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of another figure. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked towards the person beside him, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "I apologize for the trouble, Junior Martial Brother."

Xue Danrong was a bit further away from the bed. Upon hearing Fang Chaozhou's words, he didn't lift his gaze and simply replied in a faint tone, "It's fine."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent once again.

Fang Chaozhou sat up and couldn't help but touch his own neck. Although he no longer felt breathless, his body felt itchy, so itchy that he couldn't resist scratching it. However, after just a few scratches, his hand was caught.

"Senior Brother, don't scratch." Xue Danrong held Fang Chaozhou's hand with a somewhat stern tone.

Fang Chaozhou glanced at his hand that was being held and tried to pull it back. "I understand."

Surprisingly, he couldn't break free. He paused for a moment, increased his strength a bit, and forcefully withdrew his hand. At that moment, Du Yunxi returned.

He came back holding a bottle of ointment. "Second Martial Brother, this is a topical ointment. It should relieve the itching. Take off your clothes." After saying this, he turned to Xue Danrong. "Junior Martial Brother, please step out for a moment."

Xue Danrong's eyebrows twisted imperceptibly. Although he didn't speak, he didn't move either and remained rooted in place.

Fang Chaozhou looked at Xue Danrong and reached out to Du Yunxi. "Fifth Martial Brother, please give me the ointment. I'll apply it myself. You can accompany Junior Martial Brother outside and have a chat. Weren't you also planning to go to the underground demonic realm?"

Upon hearing these words, Du Yunxi visibly showed gratitude in his eyes as he handed the ointment to Fang Chaozhou. "Then, Second Martial Brother, please apply it yourself. If there are any areas you can't reach, let me know." With that, he looked towards Xue Danrong at the bedside. "Junior Martial Brother, I recently developed a new pill. Would you mind taking a look?"

"Yeah, Junior Martial Brother, please go and take a look," Fang Chaozhou also urged Xue Danrong to leave.

Xue Danrong pursed his lips, lifted his leg, and walked out. Seeing them leave, Du Yunxi smiled at Fang Chaozhou and quickly followed.

As the two of them departed, Fang Chaozhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He took off his clothes and began applying the ointment to himself. He started with the areas where the rashes were most concentrated on his upper body before moving on to his legs. The rashes had not only appeared on his calves but even on his thighs, and even more intimate areas were affected.

Feeling a bit embarrassed to be completely naked on Du Yunxi's bed, Fang Chaozhou put his clothes back on and cast a purification spell on the bedding before leaving the room.

He thought he would meet Du Yunxi and Xue Danrong outside, but to his surprise, he only saw Du Yunxi gazing into the distance with a desolate expression on his face.

"Junior Martial Brother?" Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but call out when he saw Du Yunxi like this.

Startled by his voice, Du Yunxi turned his head, his expression still not looking good. "Second Martial Brother, are you feeling better?"

"A little better. How about you?" Fang Chaozhou thought his complexion was too gloomy, as if he had just gone through a breakup.

Du Yunxi sighed. "Second Martial Brother, do you think Junior Martial Brother dislikes me?"

Fang Chaozhou paused for a moment. "Why would you say that?"

"Just now, when I wanted to give him the beauty-enhancing pill I had reformulated, he refused to take it. Then, I mentioned the underground demonic realm, and he said he had to go to the Master's place and just left. I couldn't even stop him," Du Yunxi explained with a sigh. "I feel like Junior Martial Brother definitely dislikes me."

Fang Chaozhou pondered for a moment before saying, "It's not necessarily the case. Look at it from a different perspective. Maybe Junior Martial Brother is just shy."

Du Yunxi's eyes immediately lit up. "Why do you say that?"

"Junior Martial Brother has never been fond of interacting with people. Perhaps, when you gave him the gift, he was happy but didn't know how to respond, so he shyly ran away," Fang Chaozhou made up the story, but Du Yunxi's eyes brightened even more after hearing it.

"Second Martial Brother, I think you're right. Maybe Junior Martial Brother is really just shy. Otherwise, why wouldn't he look at me at all? Especially when I wanted to give him the pill, he immediately hid his hand behind his back," Du Yunxi said, unable to hide a smile. "Junior Martial Brother is indeed reserved."

For some reason, Fang Chaozhou felt that this time, when he saw Du Yunxi again, the latter became much more open. He realized that Du Yunxi wouldn't mention his feelings towards Xue Danrong when they were talking. Now, he was being open about it.

This was a good thing. It proved that Du Yunxi didn't see him as a rival in love.

Fang Chaozhou was about to leave after comforting him, but Du Yunxi called out to him again. "Second Martial Brother, take this bottle of beauty-enhancing pill."

"Huh? Why?" Fang Chaozhou was stunned. Why would Du Yunxi give him the beauty-enhancing pill?

But Du Yunxi directly placed the pill in his hand. "You have so many rashes on your body. They might leave scars. This beauty-enhancing pill is of the highest quality, and you can't find it anywhere else. After consuming a bottle, I guarantee that your skin will be smooth. And when the time comes, if you meet someone you like, that person will definitely be fond of you..."

His words suddenly came to a halt, and his face turned red.

Fang Chaozhou instinctively felt that the unfinished words were probably not something good, and he didn't want to accept it. But if he didn't accept it, Du Yunxi would be insistent.

"No, Junior Martial Brother refusing to accept it has already dealt a blow to me. If you, Senior Martial Brother, don't accept it either, I won't have the face to sell my pills anymore. I can't even give them away for free," Du Yunxi pleaded, refusing to back down.

Fang Chaozhou tried to refuse, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reject it. Besides, there were still hidden parts on his body that hadn't been treated, and he couldn't afford to delay any longer. Reluctantly, he accepted the pill, thanked Du Yunxi, and hurriedly rushed back to his own cave dwelling.

Upon returning to his dwelling, he initially intended to apply the medicine directly, but after looking at himself, he decided to take a bath first. After the bath, he casually put on a piece of clothing and sat at the edge of the bed to apply the medicine.

However, just as his fingertips touched the medicine, he heard voices from outside the cave.

"Senior Martial Brother, Master asked me to bring something to you."

Upon hearing the voice, Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but grit his teeth. But he could only quickly tie up his loose clothes, put on his outer robe, fix his hair, and then open the barrier of the cave dwelling and step out. The person outside was indeed Xue Danrong, holding a long rectangular brocade box in his hands.

"Junior Martial Brother," Fang Chaozhou greeted him. "What did the Master ask you to bring me?"

Xue Danrong raised the brocade box in his hand. "This."

He glanced at Fang Chaozhou's cave dwelling and said, "Senior Martial Brother, can I come in?"

Fang Chaozhou hesitated for a moment, wanting to refuse, but felt awkward because Xue Danrong had just saved him. So he could only step aside and said, "Of course, you can."

Xue Danrong entered the cave dwelling. First, he placed the brocade box on the table, and then his gaze calmly scanned Fang Chaozhou's dwelling. When he saw Fang Chaozhou's bed, his eyes slightly paused.

The bed was covered with soft and thick bedding, and there was a book placed by the pillow. The book was open, with the pages folded back, as if the owner had temporarily stopped reading halfway. There was also a leaf placed next to the book.

But soon, Xue Danrong averted his gaze and focused on Fang Chaozhou's face. "Senior Martial Brother, why don't you open the Master's brocade box and take a look?"

Fang Chaozhou's mind was currently filled with the words "apply medicine." He was itching all over, but Xue Danrong was there, and he couldn't be impolite. He could only try to keep his expression steady, walk to the table, and open the brocade box.

As soon as he opened a corner of the brocade box, light leaked out from inside. When he fully opened it, the radiance emitted from inside made Fang Chaozhou involuntarily close his eyes. Fortunately, the light only lasted for a moment and then disappeared.

Inside the brocade box was a green porcelain-colored umbrella, with no patterns on its surface. It looked like an ordinary oil-paper umbrella.

However, considering the brilliance that had just leaked out from the umbrella, it definitely didn't seem ordinary at all.

However, Fang Chaozhou was not in the mood to deal with the umbrella at the moment. He just wanted to apply the medicine quickly. So, after glancing hurriedly at it, he said to Xue Danrong, "Junior Martial Brother, thank you for making the trip. I will thank the Master for the gift of the umbrella tomorrow when I visit him."

His intention to send Xue Danrong away was quite clear, but Xue Danrong seemed to be oblivious. He simply nodded and looked at the umbrella in the brocade box, saying, "Senior Martial Brother, don't you want to pick it up and take a look?"

"I will look at it, but later," Fang Chaozhou furrowed his brow. Because he was so itchy, he disregarded etiquette and sat down on a chair, even crossing his legs, attempting to relieve the itch. However, it was completely futile. He just wanted to reach out and scratch.

His trembling hand, placed on the table, shook even more. Just as he was about to directly dismiss Xue Danrong, the person beside him suddenly bent down and approached him.

Those cold and clear phoenix eyes were now fixed on Fang Chaozhou, or more precisely, on his neck.

"Senior Martial Brother, the rashes on your body seem to be getting redder," Xue Danrong's voice came along, and his fingertips touched Fang Chaozhou's skin.

His hand was icy cold.

Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but lean back a bit, feeling somewhat strange about Xue Danrong's sudden proximity. But Xue Danrong's memories had been cleansed, and his inner demons had been expelled. It was probably just Fang Chaozhou overthinking.

Perhaps Xue Danrong had never seen a cultivator with severe rashes before and was merely curious.

"I just took a bath, so I might have washed off the ointment. I was about to apply it before you arrived," Fang Chaozhou said, making it even more obvious that Xue Danrong was interrupting him. It was as clear as day.

But the young man, who heard these words, extended his hand to him. "Where is the ointment?"

"Huh?" Fang Chaozhou looked at the outstretched hand in confusion. And at that moment, he felt the person drawing closer again, and the fragrance emanating from him instantly filled his nostrils.

"Senior Martial Brother, can you show me the ointment, please?" Xue Danrong's face, with its beautiful features, was just inches away. The alluring scent from his body clouded Fang Chaozhou's mind, and without much thought, he foolishly handed over the ointment from his sleeve.
