Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC

Chapter 79 (New Version)

Through a vivid account by Brown Chicken, Fang Chaozhou finally learned about a romantic affair from his past.

Five years ago, deep underground in the demon realm, he had an intimate encounter with the renowned beauty known as Xue Danrong, the number one beauty in the world. Their passionate affair took place openly in a cave without any concealment or barriers.

"I was quite surprised when I first saw it, but the next day, you got into trouble because of saving him," Brown Chicken said, shaking its head. "Your sect protected him so tightly that they didn't even care when you fell into the underground."

After recounting the story, it stared at Fang Chaozhou, anticipating a reaction of shock or disappointment. However, it was taken aback when Fang Chaozhou only uttered a soft "Oh." He then proceeded to arrange the water-type treasures he bought on the table, almost squeezing Brown Chicken out of space.

Disappointed by the lack of reaction, Brown Chicken used its claws to make room among the treasures and squeezed itself back into position. With narrowed eyes, it observed Fang Chaozhou manipulating the water-type treasures.

Being in a small town, most of the water-type treasures on the table were of medium and low quality, with only three being of high grade. Fang Chaozhou bought so many water-type treasures to absorb their water spiritual power, hoping that doing so would resolve the issue with the vines inside his body.

On that day, Fang Chaozhou tentatively absorbed the spiritual power from three low-grade water-type treasures. After the water essence was drained, those treasures became useless.

After the absorption, Fang Chaozhou endured drowsiness and observed his body's response. As the night grew deeper, he found himself still feeling dry. Believing that the treasures were taking effect, he took a refreshing bath and went to sleep.

However, in the middle of the night, he woke up again due to feeling excessively dry.

Sitting up abruptly, Fang Chaozhou lifted the covers and went to get some water. Brown Chicken, which had been sleeping on his bed, was startled when it was lifted, and it quickly turned over, its claws raised as if expecting an attack. However, it only saw Fang Chaozhou hurriedly drinking water.

Even after drinking the water, Fang Chaozhou still felt dry. He took out the water-type treasures he had bought earlier and started madly absorbing the water's spiritual power.

When all the water-type treasures were drained dry, Fang Chaozhou finally stopped. Brown Chicken jumped off the bed and onto the table, observing the exhausted Fang Chaozhou.

"Are you feeling better?" it asked.

"My body is somewhat better, but my spirit isn't." Fang Chaozhou's voice was weary.

"Why?" Brown Chicken inquired.

Fang Chaozhou glanced at the pile of useless treasures on the table. Not long ago, they had all been sparkling and valuable treasures. Due to his excessive thirst, he had absorbed nearly twenty pieces, including three high-grade treasures, in addition to the three he had absorbed before going to bed.

Yet, when he checked his mental sea, he found the infant still nibbling on the vines and lamenting, "Not enough, far from enough."

Was he raising a gluttonous little monster in his mental sea?

He couldn't afford it!

At this rate, he would soon become penniless.

Following Fang Chaozhou's gaze, Brown Chicken also looked at the useless treasures on the ground, understanding Fang Chaozhou's thoughts. It grinned and said, "What's the big deal? I wanted to tell you today: instead of buying, why not steal?"

As it spoke, it puffed its chest out, arrogantly placing its claws on Fang Chaozhou's hand.

"Back then, I, Little Chicken, stole from every corner of the underground demonic realm, regardless of male or female demons, male or female cultivators. As long as I wanted something, it became mine. Why waste so much money buying these treasures? Tomorrow, we'll go steal them."

As it spoke, its voice lowered, "I've already scouted the area. In the third room from the left upstairs, there are three water-type treasures. In the seventh room from the right downstairs, there are four water-type treasures. The most precious one is just next to our neighbor's neighbor on this floor."

Fang Chaozhou: "..."

He sat up straight, "When did you scout the place?"

"When we just arrived in this room," replied Brown Chicken.

"But you never went out," Fang Chaozhou retorted.

Brown Chicken snorted, "I don't need to go out. I can smell the treasures as long as they are good. No matter what, if it's a good item, I can sniff it out. Fang Chaozhou, will you steal or not?"

"Not stealing," Fang Chaozhou lay back down.

He needed to have dignity. Even if he resorted to begging, he would not steal from others.

The next day, Fang Chaozhou went to a treasure shop in the town and bought all the water-type treasures. That evening, all the treasures became useless, and on the third day, he went to another shop, only to have the same result.

There were only three treasure shops in the town, and now they had run out of water-type treasures.

Fang Chaozhou had no choice but to fly to the next town. However, his consumption rate of treasures was too fast, and he had wasted over twenty pieces in a single night. Of course, if there were more high-grade treasures, he could have consumed fewer low-grade ones.

In contrast, the infant in his mental sea was digesting the vines at a much slower pace. It nibbled slowly, constantly complaining of thirst and asking for water.

Fang Chaozhou:...

He wished he could hit it but he would still feel pain, he would have pinned this little monster down and given it a severe beating!

In just a month's time, Fang Chaozhou's storage ring had been emptied of most of his assets. At first, Brown Chicken would wake up when Fang Chaozhou got up at midnight, but now it could sleep soundly, lying on its belly with its claws in the air, wings flaccid, sleeping until dawn.

On this particular day, as it was sleeping soundly as usual, it was suddenly awakened by a hand.

"Wake up!" 

Opening one eye and seeing that it was Fang Chaozhou who woke it up, Brown Chicken closed its eyes again, half-asleep as it said, "Are you thinking of becoming a notorious thief together with me?"

"No, I want to ask you something. I saw a black flower blooming on the forehead of the infant in my mental sea. Do you know what that means?" 

Brown Chicken smacked its beak, "Oh, that means you're about to be possessed by demons."

Fang Chaozhou: "..."

Brown Chicken: "..."

After some time, Brown Chicken finally opened its eyes. It struggled to turn over and looked at the young man in front of it, "Did you say that you saw a black flower blooming on the forehead of the infant in your mental sea?"

Fang Chaozhou nodded, sitting down by the bedside. "A few days ago, it was just a bud. I didn't think much of it at first, but these past few days, it has turned into a flower bud."

"It's probably because you gave it too little water and spiritual energy. Your infant in the mental sea couldn't digest the vines properly, and it ended up backfiring. If I'm not mistaken, you'll be possessed by demons soon. Once that happens, you won't be able to control yourself." Brown Chicken jumped onto Fang Chaozhou's lap. "To be honest, I'm a bit curious about how you'd look when possessed by demons."

Fang Chaozhou paused for a moment before saying, "I won't be possessed by demons."

Those words felt like a slap in the face, and three days later, they hit Fang Chaozhou hard.

Three days later, when Fang Chaozhou woke up, he saw the bed filled with books, panicking, "What... What is this? Where did they come from?"

Brown Chicken had woken up much earlier and was standing beside Fang Chaozhou's pillow, staring at him intently. It had been waiting for Fang Chaozhou to wake up for a long time.

"These are the ones you robbed. Yesterday, in the middle of the night, you smashed the door of the bookshop and robbed this whole bed of loot," it said, cackling twice.

Fang Chaozhou's eyes widened. He originally wanted to ask if Brown Chicken was tricking him, but as he became more awake, he recalled the entire process of committing the crime the previous night.

After absorbing the water-type treasures, he had gone to sleep. But in the middle of the night, he suddenly got up, without saying a word, he walked outside and even woke up the shop assistant guarding the door. When asked where he was going, he didn't answer and just took the door of the inn with him, literally.

After leaving the inn with the door on his back, Fang Chaozhou made his way to the nearby bookstore. Finding the bookstore closed, he discarded the inn's door and smashed the door of the bookstore with a single palm, boldly grabbing a bunch of books from inside.

On his way back to the inn, he even took the other half of the inn's door, which was already only half remaining.

If his memory was correct, that door was now stuffed under the bed.

Upon his return, Fang Chaozhou didn't immediately go to sleep. Instead, he sat on the bed, fondly touching the books, unable to put them down. It was almost dawn when he finally lay down to sleep.

The whole process of his crime was witnessed by Brown Chicken.

"The shop assistant has come several times already, probably wanting you to return the door. But you've set up a barrier, so he can't come in," Brown Chicken cackled twice, as if laughing, "I steal things, and you snatch things. We truly are a perfect match."

Fang Chaozhou: "..."

When Brown Chicken asked him whether he stole or not, he firmly said he didn't. Even if he had to beg, he would never steal from others.

Indeed, he didn't steal; he snatched things.
