Fang Chaozhou finally finished the manuscript he wrote. After asking Xiang Yuan for half a day off, he went to the bookstore in the town at the foot of the mountain.

The bookstore owner was originally looking at the manuscript written by Fang Chaozhou casually, but as he read on, his expression gradually changed. After reading the entire book, he reached out and patted Fang Chaozhou's shoulder with an excited look on his face.

"Although your writing style is still a little immature, the plot design is very clever, with many twists and turns and a coherent whole. To be honest, this is the best fan manuscript I have ever received."

Fang Chaozhou's eyes lit up, "So did I pass?"

"Now you have to send your manuscript to that person first to know whether it will be approved. Whether it will be approved depends on his mind, but don't worry, I think there will be no problem, it's basically settled." The boss said as he walked behind the counter, "I will pay you part of the money first, you can use it first, and once the manuscript is approved, I will give you the money. You will know the result in more than half a month, and you can come to me then."

Fang Chaozhou, who had made money, instinctively wanted to buy a water magic weapon, but before he entered, the brown pheasant called out, "You don't have to buy a magic weapon now. You promised to buy me preserved fruit."

Hearing this, Fang Chaozhou looked down at the purse in his hand. The money he earned today could only buy one water-based magic weapon. If he bought that, he wouldn't be able to buy preserved fruits.

Since he woke up, the brown pheasant seemed to have never enjoyed any happiness with him. Well, he decided to buy some dried fruits.

So Fang Chaozhou used all the money he earned to buy food. He bought all kinds of dried fruits and cakes. That night, the brown pheasant was so full that its stomach turned upside down and it couldn't even get up. The sparrow's thin legs couldn't support its big belly.

Just as Fang Chaozhou was looking at the brown pheasant and laughing like this, Xiang Yuan gathered all the outer disciples.

"You have been here for a while. Previously, in order to improve your fellow disciples' relationship as quickly as possible, I arranged for you to live in a dormitory. After this period of time, I believe that you have developed feelings for each other, so there is no need to live together anymore. After all, you will practice in the future. Practice is a solitary matter. If there are people around, it is more likely to cause trouble, such as going astray or something like that. So I will read out everyone's name and new address later, and then everyone can come to me to get the keys, and you can move in tonight."

The brown pheasant nestled in Fang Chaozhou's arms, with a sparrow's head popping out. When it heard this, it tilted its head and sent a message to Fang Chaozhou, "Does this mean we have to sleep in a single room?"

"Um."

The brown pheasant smacked its lips and said, "I think sleeping in a dormitory is good. It's more lively with more people."

Fang Chaozhou didn't care. It was lively with many people, and quiet with few people. Each had its own advantages. "If you feel lonely, why don't I go down the mountain and buy a chicken one day? Didn't we just see someone selling chickens?"

As soon as the words fell, the brown pheasant turned around and pecked Fang Chaozhou several times with its sharp beak. If it were its original form, it would have been a little painful, but now it was a sparrow, let alone pain, it didn't even feel an itch, it didn't feel anything at all, but it pecked vigorously.

"I don't want to be friends with those common chickens. I can't get along with them. They just crow and lay eggs all day long. They don't have any elegant hobbies."

Speaking of elegant hobbies, Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but poke the brown pheasant with his hand, "Elegant hobbies? You mean chewing mud? And trying to spit out brown nests?"

I don’t know from whom the brown pheasant heard about the bird’s nest last time. Bird’s nest is very valuable both in the world of immortals and in the mortal world. When the brown pheasant heard it, it became jealous. It thought that the saliva of a bird like a swallow, which is everywhere on the streets, should not be so expensive, so it tried to make a brown nest.

After vomiting for a long time, it finally spit out the mud and an earthworm it had just taken in.

The brown pheasant's eyes drifted away. "I was talking about singing and dancing. Look how well I performed last time. More people have greeted you recently."

There were indeed more of them, and some of them were people he didn't recognize. Judging from their clothes, they looked like inner sect disciples.

Thinking of this, Fang Chaozhou sighed helplessly.

"Fang Zhuo, Shuiyingyuan."

Xiang Yuan's voice drew Fang Chaozhou's attention back. He was standing in the line whose name was called. When he was receiving the key, the monk who distributed the key said to him.

"Because all the empty houses in the front mountain have been divided up, you live alone in the back mountain of Yizhi Peak. Shuiying Courtyard is a courtyard from many years ago and has been empty before. Here is the topographic map, you can find your way there according to the map."

Shuiyingyuan was circled on the blueprint. After studying the map, Fang Chaozhou found that his new residence was very close to Zhichunzhou, almost in a straight line.

It was just a little far from where he planted the saplings.

Just as Fang Chaozhou discovered this problem, Xiang Yuan called him again.

"Fang Zhuo, wait a minute, are you willing to switch tasks with Xiao Liu? He was feeding fish in the back mountain before, and it was nothing serious, but he fell into the water yesterday and he doesn't want to feed fish anymore. He is afraid of water. I see that your new residence is close to the fish pond in the back mountain. Are you willing to switch? It doesn't matter if you don't want to."

"I can do it." Fang Chaozhou replied immediately.

He looked down at the distance between the fish pond and his new residence. It was very close and it felt like he didn't need to walk many steps. It was simply a job tailor-made for him.

That night, Fang Chaozhou took the keys and moved to his new home.

He had thought that the Shuiying Courtyard, which had been vacant for many years, should be in a shabby state, but in fact, except for a slight crack in the doorway, everything inside was in good condition and even looked like brand new. He was about to clean up, but when he touched the furniture, there was no dust at all, as if someone had just cleaned it.

The Tianshui Sect is worthy of being the number one sect in the world. They are so kind to their outer disciples. They give each disciple his own courtyard and clean the house in advance.

After visiting Shuiyingyuan, Fang Chaozhou went to the fish pond where he was about to work according to the map. The fish pond was bigger than he had imagined. The brown pheasant was excited when it saw it and immediately said it wanted to go down and swim.

Since there was no one around, Fang Chaozhou boldly let the brown pheasant return to its original form. As soon as it regained its original shape, the brown pheasant rushed into the water, quacking excitedly because it had not been in water for a long time.

After moving to Shuiying Courtyard, Fang Chaozhou suddenly felt much more peaceful. All day long, he had to deal with fish and brown pheasants, and no one came to their place.

Because there was no one around, the brown pheasant was unwilling to turn back into a sparrow and wandered around in its original form every day.

"I still look better the way I do." The brown pheasant admired the water for a long time, then turned to look at Fang Chaozhou, "Fang Chaozhou, you should also change your face back to your own."

Fang Chaozhou shook his head. The people here might not have seen the brown pheasant, but the possibility of having seen him was very high. After all, he was once the second disciple of the Yizhi Peak of the Tianshui Sect. With such a high ranking, he must have joined the sect very early, which means that many people have seen him.

Although Fang Chaozhou did not change his face back to his own, he would sometimes compete in swimming with the brown pheasant when he was bored.

After being excited for three or four days, the brown pheasant was no longer so excited. It wanted to leave Tianshui Sect and go out to have some fun, so it began to signal Fang Chaozhou again.

"This place is so close to Zhichunzhou, are you going to go over and see the beauty tonight?"

When Fang Chaozhou heard the brown pheasant mention the words "Chunzhou" or "beautiful lady", he felt a dull pain in his heart.

"Maybe a few days later." He looked towards the fish pond.

"It can't be too late. Didn't you feel particularly bored the past two days? You don't have many water magic weapons on you, right?" The Brown Partridge strode in front of Fang Chaozhou, "Why are you not active anymore? You were very active when you said you wanted to take revenge on the beauty!"

Fang Chaozhou took a look at it and said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

"No, let's go tonight. Go to bed early and finish early." Brown Partridge thought for a while, "I guess you won't be back until tomorrow night. Anyway, there's no one supervising here, so go without worry. Someone is looking for you. I'm here."

Fang Chaozhou wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth, but his ears gradually turned red.

Know Chunzhou.

When Fang Chaozhou arrived at Xue Danrong's cave, he didn't see anyone, but he saw the sword with which he had fought before on the table.

The sword is there, but the person is not. Xue Danrong must be somewhere else.

He thought about it for a moment and went to take a look at the cold pond. As expected, he saw Xue Danrong meditating inside. Xue Danrong seemed to have heard the noise, his long eyelashes trembled, and his eyes opened.

Those dark eyes became even darker when they saw Fang Chaozhou. He sucked up his outer robe and put it on, then walked out of the water.

The water wet the clothes, which stuck to the skin, revealing the curves of the figure. Xue Danrong's figure does not match his face.

His face made people want to protect him and arouse their sympathy, but his figure...

At least Fang Chaozhou always felt a sense of oppression when the other party approached him.

Too aggressive.

Xue Danrong's aggression seemed mild, but it left no way for people to retreat. There was no way to hide or avoid him, and in the end they could only be caught by him and dismembered.

But when the prey is really scared, the hunter will take the initiative to let go of the prey, but the prerequisite is that the prey is in his encirclement.

There is no one else in this circle, only him and his prey. Sometimes the prey doesn’t even know that it is the prey, and even thinks that it is the hunter who controls everything.

Fang Chaozhou looked at Xue Danrong who was walking towards him with his long legs swaying, and turned his face away involuntarily. When the other party came closer, he turned his face back, not looking down, but only looking at the other party's face.

"You should take the antidote today." Fang Chaozhou lied.

Xue Danrong took out a towel and wiped the water droplets on his face, but some water droplets still flowed down his chin, across his snow-white skin, and into his clothes. Because he had just finished training, his whole body was very cold, even his long eyelashes were covered with frost. When you looked at him vaguely, you would have thought his eyelashes had turned white.

"Practicing dual cultivation in Hantan will achieve twice the result with half the effort." Xue Danrong's voice was calm.

But Fang Chaozhou was not calm anymore. "It's so cold here, how can we practice dual cultivation?"

The first time he wanted to do it here, it was because he was afraid that there would not be enough time for him to force himself on her. Now that he could go to the cave, there was no need to stay by the cold pond.

"Sure." Xue Danrong spread out his right hand, and a jar of wine appeared in his hand. "One hundred years old Su Yi wine can resist the cold."

Fang Chaozhou looked at the wine in his hand and hesitated for a moment, "Is it really possible to get twice the result with half the effort here?"

Then he can practice dual cultivation less often in the future?

Xue Danrong nodded.

Fang Chaozhou thought about it and decided to give it a try. He took the jar of wine and said, "Okay, let's drink it."

In fact, Xue Danrong didn't drink much, as Fang Chaozhou drank almost all of it. This kind of wine was not very strong at first, and it was sweet and sour, and tasted much better than other bitter wines. After Fang Chaozhou drank a few sips, he found that his body was not so cold anymore. He wanted to ask Xue Danrong to drink with him, but Xue Danrong only drank one sip and he drank the rest by himself.

After drinking it, the aftereffects came.

Fang Chaozhou couldn't remember what happened next. He was in a daze the whole time. He seemed to hear someone say that they wanted to see him dance. When he heard that, he seemed to smile.

"I only know how to strip."

The man seemed silent.

Fang Chaozhou became excited, "Do you want to see it? If you do, I'll dance for you."

Later, he seemed to have really jumped, but he felt that the clothes were not enough, and his own clothes were not enough, so he took off the clothes of others. For a striptease, the more clothes you wear, the better. It seemed like he was wearing twenty or thirty pieces of clothing in the end.

There were too many clothes and he couldn't take them off, so he refused to dance.

Fang Chaozhou couldn't remember what happened after he stopped dancing. He only knew that someone was holding him, floating up and down, tightly and tightly.
