After these words were spoken, the brown pheasant next to him couldn't help but look at Fang Chaozhou, and even came closer and whispered: "Look, he's already in this state, why don't you just take him in? Anyway, he's so handsome, you won't lose out."
Fang Chaozhou was so angry about this chicken, no, this bird, that he turned around, reached out and grabbed the brown pheasant's sharp beak, and said in a low voice: "Don't join in the fun, there is no way I can get along with him."
The brown pheasant shook its head violently and broke free from Fang Chaozhou's hand. "Hey, if you really don't want to take responsibility, I will use the clone technique on him later, and then we will take the opportunity to escape."
It did not lower its voice when it said this, so besides Fang Chaozhou being able to hear it clearly, Xue Danrong who was not far away could also hear it clearly.
Fang Chaozhou decided not to tell the Brown Partridge about this matter. It was useless to tell him. What would be really useful was to have a good talk with Xue Danrong.
He turned back to look at Xue Danrong, adjusted his breathing and said: "Junior brother, I am a layman with no ambitions. If I become your Taoist partner, I will only drag you down. Besides, what happened yesterday was purely an accident. You won't let a poisoned person take the blame, right?"
"What happened yesterday was not an accident, but..." Xue Danrong was interrupted by Fang Chaozhou before he could finish his words.
Fang Chaozhou looked a little nervous. "If I say it was an accident, then it is an accident. Junior brother, I just want to be your fellow apprentice. If you tell others about what happened yesterday, it will bring disaster to both you and me."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was complete silence, even the brown pheasant was silent.
Fang Chaozhou glanced at the young man walking in front of him, then looked at the brown pheasant walking beside him. He thought for a moment and finally spoke, "Junior brother."
The young man holding the Broken Water Sword turned around. There was no expression on his fair and delicate face. "Brother, is there something wrong?"
Suddenly seeing Xue Danrong's cold look, Fang Chaozhou paused for a moment before saying, "My snake venom has been cleared and I'm fine now. Why don't we just stay here..." Following the other person's gaze, he changed his words and said, "How about taking a break for a while?"
The brown pheasant glanced at Fang Chaozhou and said in a neither-too-loud nor-soft voice, "You are useless."
Fang Chaozhou looked back and lowered his voice, "Then you come."
The brown pheasant's small eyes quickly looked to the side, as if it didn't hear Fang Chaozhou's voice.
There happened to be a lake nearby, so they took a temporary rest by the lake. The brown pheasant became excited when it saw the water, and could not wait to jump into the water, swimming happily in the water.
There were only Fang Chaozhou and Xue Danrong on the shore of the lake. Fang Chaozhou sat there for a while, then he secretly glanced at Xue Danrong next to him. Xue Danrong was not looking at him, his eyes seemed to be on the lake.
Fang Chaozhou hesitated for a long time, but still turned around quietly. His chest still hurt a little, and it had been several hours since he last applied medicine. He took out the ointment, untied his belt, loosened his robe, and was about to apply the ointment when he suddenly heard Xue Danrong's voice from behind.
"Brother."
This sound frightened Fang Chaozhou so much that his body trembled. He didn't care too much and quickly gathered his clothes. Without turning around, he asked, "Huh?"
"Brother, are you applying the medicine?" Xue Danrong's voice was flat.
Fang Chaozhou felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yeah."
"Brother's injury was caused by me, so I should be the one to apply medicine to him." As the voice came, footsteps came closer and closer.
Fang Chaozhou didn't expect the other party to say that. He immediately grabbed his clothes tighter and stammered, "No... no need. I... can do it myself."
When he said this, the boy had already walked in front of him. Xue Danrong seemed not to have heard his words. He squatted down, his phoenix eyes were cold and clear, and his expression was to keep people at a distance, but his behavior was not like that. "Isn't it common for fellow disciples to help each other? I was just helping you apply medicine, but you are so defensive. Could it be that what you just said was false? You don't treat me as your fellow disciple, but as a man with whom you have physical contact?"
His words made Fang Chaozhou not know what to say for a moment. He wanted to refute the other party, but he didn't know how to do it.
Fang Chaozhou was hesitant, but Xue Danrong had already extended his hand to him, speaking coldly, "Brother, don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who would pester you. Since you've already rejected me, I won't pester you. I just want to get my work done."
After he finished speaking, he saw that Fang Chaozhou was still hesitant, with a slightly dim look in his eyes. Then he reached out and took the ointment from Fang Chaozhou's hand. At the same time, he set up a barrier to wrap him and Fang Chaozhou in between to prevent the possibility of anyone seeing them.
After doing this, Xue Danrong said to Fang Chaozhou: "Brother, let go of your hand."
Fang Chaozhou tightened his hands that were gripping the clothes and pursed his lips, then hesitantly and slowly let go of his hands. He let go and turned his face away, but happened to hear Xue Danrong's next words.
"Brother, I have medicine in one hand and a medicine bottle in the other. I need you to separate your robes yourself."
These words made Fang Chaozhou turn his head back immediately. He looked at the other party in disbelief, his eyes looking back and forth at the other party's hands.
Xue Danrong didn't lie. He did have medicine in one hand and a medicine bottle in the other, but...
"You can put the medicine bottle down." Fang Chaozhou said.
Xue Danrong lowered his eyes and glanced at the medicine bottle in his hand, his expression somewhat nonchalant, "So, Senior Brother, do you want me to personally separate your robes?"
Fang Chaozhou thought about the scene and immediately shook his head, "I'll do it myself."
But coming by myself didn't seem to get any better, and I even felt more ashamed. Fang Chaozhou didn't dare to look at Xue Danrong at all. He looked at the sky, the trees, and the grass on the ground, but didn't look at him.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally felt the other party's hand being withdrawn. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the next moment, he heard Xue Danrong's voice again, "Brother, please apply medicine to the wound on your calf as well. There may be residual toxins."
When Fang Chaozhou heard this, he immediately wanted to gather his clothes to stop the other person's action, but just as he was about to gather his clothes, Xue Danrong reached out to block him and said in a light tone, "Brother, you just applied the ointment, so put on your clothes. The ointment will get all over your clothes later, and you will have to apply it again."
Apply it again?
He couldn't apply it again.
Fang Chaozhou could only grab his clothes again, but when he saw Xue Danrong rolling up his trouser legs, he couldn't help but say, "Junior brother, I'll take care of your leg injury myself."
Hearing this, Xue Danrong raised his phoenix eyes, and there seemed to be some sharpness in his eyes, but he just stared at Fang Chaozhou for a while without saying anything, and slowly withdrew his hand.
Fang Chaozhou breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he took another breath.
Xue Danrong didn't help him apply the medicine on his leg, but he didn't leave. His eyes were even still on him. From his observation, it seemed that his eyes were fixed on the place where the medicine had just been applied.
Fang Chaozhou froze for a moment, then slowly moved his body to the side. When Xue Danrong could no longer see his front, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
After waiting for a while and feeling that the ointment had dried, Fang Chaozhou couldn't wait to tighten his clothes and tie his belt again. He had just fastened his belt when a bottle the size of a hip flask was handed to him.
It was the medicine that Xue Danrong used to wash his wound yesterday.
Fang Chaozhou thanked him before taking the medicine. He rolled up his trouser legs. The wound that had looked quite hideous last night now looked much better, but the double snake painting on his calf still showed no signs of fading.
He pursed his lips before using the medicine to wash his wound. Just as he finished, a handkerchief was handed to him.
Fang Chaozhou paused before taking it.
After applying the medicine, he lowered his trouser legs and looked at the medicine and the soiled handkerchief in his hand, "Junior Brother, this medicine..."
Before he finished speaking, Xue Danrong had already spoken, "Brother, you don't have to return it to me, it's just that I like this handkerchief very much."
"Ah? Then I'll wash it and give it back to you." Fang Chaozhou said quickly.
"Brother, please compensate me with one. You should have a personal handkerchief, right?" Xue Danrong said.
Fang Chaozhou did have many, and because the handkerchief he had soiled was one that Xue Danrong liked, he took out almost all the valuable handkerchiefs in his storage ring, "These are all ones I haven't used, so feel free to pick any."
Xue Danrong lowered his eyes, glanced at those priceless handkerchiefs, and shook his head, "My handkerchief has been used for a long time. I am embarrassed to take your unused one. Please compensate me with a used one."
Fang Chaozhou thought this sounded a bit strange, but he still went to look for the ones he had used. Finally, he found an ice silk handkerchief that had only been used once. This handkerchief was used once that day when he entered the underground demon realm. After using it, he washed it before putting it away.
"How about this one?" He handed the ice silk handkerchief in his hand to the other party.
Xue Danrong took a look at it and reached out to take it, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
"I should say thank you. I soiled your handkerchief, so I should compensate you with one." Fang Chaozhou said quickly.
It just stands to reason that if you want to compensate something, you should give it a new one.
Xue Danrong didn't say anything else. He took the handkerchief and put it in his arms, placing it close to his chest. Fang Chaozhou saw where he put it, paused for a moment, and then stood up.
He looked towards the lake and saw the brown pheasants still swimming in the lake. The corners of his lips could not help but twitch. The brown pheasant does not just soak in the water in an ordinary way, it is like a white shark in the waves, swimming back and forth, sometimes underwater, sometimes popping its head out. I am afraid that even fish cannot swim faster than it.
Fang Chaozhou wanted to ask the brown pheasant if it had enough fun, but at this moment, a sound came from nearby, it was the sound of talking.
He was stunned for a moment and immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from.
A group of people were coming from the east. They did not see Fang and Xue who were trapped by the barrier and walked straight forward. The person walking in front was someone Fang Chaozhou knew.
It’s Li Zhu.
Unlike that day, Li Zhu was followed by a group of demon cultivators today. He was dressed in black and had a stern face. He walked a few steps and suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at the group of demon cultivators behind him. "You have been talking for so long, but you can't think of a good way. Just tell me directly, if I want to catch my fickle stepmother here, what should I do?!"
The last sentence was almost shouted out.
One of the demon cultivators hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young Sect Master, this matter is a little difficult to handle. The underground demon realm is too big, and it is difficult to find someone. Why don't we wait until we leave the realm before thinking of a solution?"
"It's not my turn to leave the country. My father is the most lustful. If he knew Fang Chaozhou came to the underground demon realm, he would probably come rushing over like a dog smelling a meat bun. He didn't come to see me off last time. Didn't he mean that with my stepmother's personality, she would never come to such a dangerous place?" Li Zhu became even angrier as he spoke. He pulled out the black gold whip from his waist and whipped the open space next to him hard.
He was so angry that the demon cultivators looked at each other in surprise.
"Young Sect Master, the last time we went to Tianshui Sect to propose marriage, wanting to marry Fang Chaozhou as our Sect Master's wife, we were rejected. So she is no longer our Sect Master's wife. His affair with the girl from Fengyue Temple does not count as a cuckold for our Sect Master. Young Sect Master, please don't be angry." A demon cultivator spoke boldly.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was whipped on the side of his waist.
"I'm going to be angry. Not only am I going to be angry, but when I catch him, I'm going to let him know the price of being fickle." Li Zhu cursed, her cat-like eyes wide open, "The little girl in Fengyue Temple is impotent and has a weak body. Instead of finding an adulterer like this, you might as well find me!"
Fang Chaozhou, the legendary fickle stepmother, was very embarrassed. He laughed twice in vain, "This guy is full of nonsense and slander."
