Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC

Having learned that Xue Danrong resided in Zhichun Island and that it was situated at the highest point of Yizhi Peak, the biggest challenge now was for Fang Chaozhou to figure out how to avoid people and reach Zhichun Island unnoticed.

In broad daylight, sneaking into Yizhi Peak was extremely difficult since there were too many people around. His best opportunity was at night.

As he was staying in Datong Dormitory, Fang Chaozhou transformed the brown chicken to look like himself, lying on the bed, to prevent anyone from discovering that he was out at midnight. He himself, taking advantage of the dark and windy night, went to get his medicine.

The living quarters of the outer sect disciples were close to the mountain gate. Tian Shui Sect was divided into five interconnected peaks, and Yizhi Peak was the foremost one, which made it convenient for Fang Chaozhou to reach.

Following the mountain path, he could easily find Yizhi Peak.

Fang Chaozhou cast the invisibility spell and made his way up effortlessly, arriving at Yizhi Peak. However, there was a protective barrier surrounding the peak.

Nonetheless, this barrier could not stop Fang Chaozhou. Ever since he woke up until now, his cultivation had been rapidly increasing every day. It was due to his connection with the vines inside him and the absorption of the water spiritual power from the water-type magical treasures he had consumed.

Fang Chaozhou tore open a hole in the barrier, slipped inside, and then sealed it back. He flew in the air, surveying the terrain, and found the highest spot of Yizhi Peak, flying directly towards it.

Upon arrival, Fang Chaozhou was surprised to discover that there was no protective barrier in this place. This puzzled him because ordinary cultivators would usually set up protective barriers around their abodes to prevent intruders. Given that Xue Danrong was renowned as the most beautiful man in the world, he must have encountered more dangers than ordinary people. So, why hadn't he set up a protective barrier?

Fang Chaozhou's eyebrows furrowed as he suddenly came up with an idea. Could it be that Xue Danrong deliberately didn't set up a barrier to allow his new lover to come over? That was how it was depicted in the novel, where a young woman in a courtyard would intentionally leave the door unlocked for his lover.

His mind was filled with a dramatic scene, causing Fang Chaozhou's brows to furrow even tighter.

Xue Danrong actually cuckolded him!

Well, even after being dead for so many years, if Xue Danrong couldn't stand loneliness, it was possible for him to find a new lover. However, Fang Chaozhou wouldn't let Xue Danrong off the hook. He had made up his mind that even if Xue Danrong shed tears today, he wouldn't stop!

With indignation, Fang Chaozhou rushed into Zhichun Island but was immediately overwhelmed by the chilling coldness inside.

Why was Zhichun Island so cold?

Hugging his arms, after a brief struggle between looking cool and staying warm, Fang Chaozhou decided to dig through his storage ring and found a fox fur coat to put on himself.

The cold here was beyond what an ordinary person could endure. Even for a cultivator like Fang Chaozhou, if he had an ordinary mortal body, he would probably be torn apart by the chilling wind at this place.

Putting on the fox fur coat to fend off the cold, Fang Chaozhou felt a little more comfortable. Zhichun Island was too vast, and searching little by little would be too slow. Therefore, Fang Chaozhou used a trace-seeking spell.

The trace-seeking spell allowed him to detect the presence of living beings, guiding Fang Chaozhou to the direction where life forms were present.

Seeing the spell take effect, Fang Chaozhou immediately followed its indications and soon came across a cave dwelling. The cave was protected by a barrier, most likely Xue Danrong's residence.

Fang Chaozhou observed the cave entrance for a while before cautiously breaking the barrier. To avoid alerting anyone inside, he proceeded with great care, spending half an hour in the chilly wind before finally breaking the barrier and entering the cave.

Once inside, he saw something lying near the entrance. It got startled by his presence, and Fang Chaozhou quickly cast a sleep spell on it before looking around the cave.

The cave was devoid of people. Though spacious, it had a very simple setup: two stone beds, a table, a stool, and a wardrobe in the corner. There were no other belongings.

Fang Chaozhou examined the two stone beds. They were placed apart against the walls. One bed was empty, with nothing on it, while the other bed had a thin mattress, not as thick as the fox fur coat he was wearing.

Since Xue Danrong was not present, Fang Chaozhou shifted his attention to the creature he had just awakened. He used a night light to illuminate it and found that it was a creature that looked both like a dog and not like a dog. It had two small horns on its head, each the size of a person's little finger. Its whole body was covered in fiery red scales, except for its head and tail, which were fluffy like fur, and the tail seemed longer than its body, resembling an exploded firecracker flower.

What was this thing?

Fang Chaozhou curiously observed it for a long time. He presumed that his trace-seeking spell must have picked up its scent, leading him here.

Could this be Xue Danrong?

No, Xue Danrong was a human cultivator. This creature should be one of Xue Danrong's pets.

This place should be Zhichun Island; he couldn't have made a mistake. Then why was Xue Danrong not in his own cave at this late hour?

Fang Chaozhou's brows furrowed deeply. Could he be meeting his new lover secretly?

Was it because Xue Danrong had gone out that he didn't set up a protective barrier around Zhichun Island?

***

When the brown chicken was awakened, its first reaction was to ask, "Did you succeed in sleeping with the person?"

Fang Chaozhou transformed the creature back into a sparrow and lay down under the blanket. "No, I waited for most of the night, but no one returned. Do you think he's not in Tian Shui Sect right now?"

Since he had waited for most of the night without any signs of Xue Danrong's return and dawn was approaching, Fang Chaozhou had no choice but to return. Before coming back, he cast a spell on the dog-like creature at the entrance, ensuring that it would have no recollection of his intrusion last night.

The brown chicken asked, "Then where could he have gone? Will you keep waiting?"

Fang Chaozhou closed his eyes and replied, "I'll observe a bit more and see if I can ask Yao Yucheng."

However, it had been ten days since Yao Yucheng last came to see Fang Chaozhou, and during these ten days, Fang Chaozhou had used up many water-type magical treasures.

"Big Brother Fang, take a rest. This is a spiritual fruit my master gave me. Would you like to have it?" Yao Yucheng offered a fruit to Fang Chaozhou.

Fang Chaozhou glanced at the fruit in Yao Yucheng's hand and shook his head. He steered the conversation to Yao Yucheng's recent circumstances before mentioning the mundane chores he had been doing here, expressing his boredom.

"Brother Yao, do you know of anyone who is accepting disciples?" he inquired.

Yao Yucheng pondered for a moment. "I'm not entirely sure. How about I ask my master for you? I believe your talent is excellent, and I can't understand why you're still staying here. It's truly beyond me."

Fang Chaozhou replied, "Your master must be busy. By the way, you mentioned Senior Uncle Xue earlier. Have you seen him?"

Yao Yucheng shook his head. "No, I asked my master discreetly, and Senior Uncle Xue hasn't been at the sect lately. However..." He looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "Elder Yizhi's birthday is coming up soon. He's Senior Uncle Xue's master. I believe Senior Uncle Xue will definitely return for the celebration."

Fang Chaozhou's thoughts raced, but he maintained a calm expression. "When is Elder Yizhi's birthday?"

"Three days from now," Yao Yucheng replied. "On that day, I'll be attending the celebratory banquet with my master. Big Brother Fang, if I see Senior Uncle Xue, I'll come and tell you how he's doing the next day."

Yao Yucheng could understand why Fang Chaozhou wanted to gather information about Xue Danrong. After all, who wouldn't want to catch a glimpse of the world's most beautiful man? Looking at pictures wasn't enough; only seeing the person in the flesh could satisfy one's curiosity.

Three days later.

As it was Elder Yizhi's significant birthday celebration, the outer sect disciples were given half a day off and a banquet was prepared for them.

The outer sect disciples, who had been working hard since joining the sect, were finally relaxing completely. With the moon shining above the willow branches, they drank until they were thoroughly drunk.

The only one not drunk was Fang Chaozhou. Throughout the night, he replaced alcohol with water in his cup. With the use of illusion magic, those who came to persuade him to drink couldn't tell the difference.

Once everyone had collapsed from intoxication, and the hour grew late, Fang Chaozhou once again turned invisible and headed towards Zhichun Island. He noticed that the main hall of Yizhi Peak was still filled with music and lights, indicating that the birthday celebration hadn't ended yet.

This was good for him. Fang Chaozhou planned to infiltrate Zhichun Island and wait for Xue Danrong there. He would wait until she returned, probably in a drunken state after attending his master's birthday celebration, and then he would suddenly appear and confront him!

Having been to Zhichun Island once before, he was now familiar with the route. It didn't take long for Fang Chaozhou to reach the entrance of Zhichun Island, and once again, there was no protective barrier. Thus, he easily made his way to Xue Danrong's cave.

The cave was empty, and even the dog-like creature he had encountered before was not there.

However, Fang Chaozhou noticed that the bed where the mattress had been laid was now bare, indicating that someone had changed their clothes and left.

It seemed Xue Danrong had returned and changed clothes before attending the banquet, but he hadn't come back yet.

Fang Chaozhou walked to the side of the bed, contemplating his next move. He removed the pillow from the bed and transformed himself into a pillow, lying on the bed to disguise himself.

Once Xue Danrong returned, drunk and collapsed on the bed, he would seize the opportunity to capture him.

As he lay there, Fang Chaozhou noticed that he was surrounded by a cold fragrance, emanating from the mattress. He couldn't help but click his tongue at his vanity, wondering why he perfumed the mattress so lavishly.

Initially, Fang Chaozhou intended to lie in wait, but after sleeping on a shared bed for nearly a month and using the transformation spell, which made him feel uncomfortable, he couldn't sleep well. Adding to that, the room was filled with snoring and sleep-talking companions, further disrupting his rest.

Now, smelling the fragrance, he felt drowsy without realizing it and dozed off.

When he woke again, he heard the sound of the cave's door being opened.

As Fang Chaozhou had just awakened, it took him a moment to pull his drifting consciousness back into his body. When the noise woke him up, he was slow to react and remained dazed until he saw a tall figure walking towards the bed.

The person didn't light a lamp, so Fang Chaozhou couldn't see the person's face clearly.

However, Fang Chaozhou didn't smell any alcohol on the person; instead, the person seemed to carry a chilling aura as they entered the cave.

It should be Xue Danrong.

In an instant, Fang Chaozhou's heart tightened.

He watched as the person sat down by the bed, and he couldn't help but think that if he lay down, he would immediately make his move. However, the person remained still, sitting there, facing the stone wall.

Fang Chaozhou also tried to see what he was looking at, but the stone wall was pitch dark, and he couldn't discern anything unusual.

No, he couldn't wait any longer. If he waited any longer, it would soon be morning, and who knows how long he would have to wait for the next opportunity.

Fang Chaozhou repeated Xue Danrong's name silently in his heart several times and then immediately became visible. He quickly cast a paralyzing spell on the person sitting there.

After performing the spell, Fang Chaozhou waited for a moment and saw that the person didn't move, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. Honestly, during this time, he had done a fair amount of robbing people, but sleeping with someone was a first for him, even if it was someone he had been intimate with before.

He breathed out lightly and then took out the Night Pearl Lamp from his storage ring. He held it in front of the person's face.

He wanted to make sure it was indeed Xue Danrong. If he slept with the wrong person, it would be a disaster.

Under the gentle blue light of the lamp, Xue Danrong's face exuded a murderous intent, his phoenix-like eyes sharp as knives, directly fixing on Fang Chaozhou's face, while the vermilion mole between his eyebrows glowed like blood.

A loud clatter.

The Night Pearl Lamp in Fang Chaozhou's hand fell onto the bed.
