CH 9

Chu Ge felt that he had spoken and acted very appropriately and confidently this time. If he had shown such a powerful performance during the blind date with Gu Ruoyan, maybe they would have become something…

Unfortunately, although Gu Ruoyan was a real person, he didn’t know anything about her. After years of lack of communication, he didn’t know how to communicate with strangers properly. Qiu Wuji appeared ethereal, but she felt like a close relative to him, as if they had been together for many years.

At least they had been together for every day and night of the planning and writing of this novel.

This was the most familiar stranger.

However, Chu Ge forgot that Qiu Wuji didn’t understand handshake etiquette. She stared coldly at the hand he extended, her expression changing from being calm to flushed, then became livid.

With a ‘bang’, Chu Ge was knocked over and even the chair was overturned.

“Pervert! You want to touch me just like that? Do you think that I, Qiu Wuji, am so easily seduced?!”

What was he thinking when he wrote about the woman in his most wonderful fantasies?

He wrote about this woman for his own personal gratification. It was really obscene!

Chu Ge crouched down, holding his head and said, “Damn it, it was just a handshake…We need to patch things up between us, and you, Qiu Wuji, need to understand simple things first!”

Qiu Wuji said coldly, “Before you start talking about patching things up, shouldn’t you explain what you meant by ‘finding the creator god himself!?'”

It’s over, this hurdle cannot be overcome.

With this “touching hand” incident, it seemed that his image as a pervert was deeply rooted and couldn’t be washed away.

Chu Ge could only hold his head and say: “Since you don’t want to have any relationship with Chu Tiange, then there has to be a way to explain what I meant earlier. This sudden change in topic is the most reasonable. Qiu Wuji, if you want to find a man, of course it should be someone at the level of a creator god. Don’t you believe me? Just look at the book reviews, they all praise it!”

The book reviews that usually made him feel uncomfortable before were actually useful!

However, Qiu Wuji obviously didn’t care about some reviews: “Why should I look for a man?! This kind of thinking should not even exist in the first place! Change it back for me!”

Chu Ge held his head and said nothing.

“Why aren’t you speaking? You were just talking up a storm, what’s wrong now?”

“…I think I can’t change it back.”

“?”

“It’s already finalized and published. How can I change it back? Besides, what I wrote was just saying that if you want to find a man, look for someone at that level. It doesn’t mean you have to like me. Do you like me now? No, right? So why are you so impatient?”

Qiu Wuji’s chest rose and fell with anger. She never had the intention of finding a man in the first place, why should she? Moreover, doesn’t this mean that if she were to look for a man, then he would be the target?

Whether or not she had feelings for someone is her business. Is he just trying to cover up his own perverted intentions by saying that?

It’s really frustrating. She couldn’t kill him, and she was afraid of accidentally killing him if she hit too hard. She couldn’t change the script herself either, what should she do?

Why is the woman of his dreams someone who can beat him up at any time? Could it be that this man has a hidden masochist tendency?

Qiu Wuji’s gaze became a bit strange.

Of course, Chu Ge was not a masochist.

That’s just a set-up for the thrill of conquering a high and mighty woman. Someone that can’t be obtained in real life, so writing a book allows people to fantasize, right?

The result was that maybe because the expectations were set too high, the female lead who touched the edge of ascension broke through the dimensional barrier and ran out…

In any case, Chu Ge seems to be able to foresee his bleak future. The previous conversation was full of momentum to gain the upper hand, but with such a big gap in strength, how can he win the upper hand with just his mouth? Now that he’s been labeled a pervert, what could he even do?

Chu Ge hugged his head and looked up with his eyes, captivated by the breathtaking sight before him.

The woman’s slender waist, adorned with a jade belt, perfectly complemented her flawless figure. Her small, delicate features, smooth and radiant skin resembling that of jade, and rosy cheeks added to her allure. Her sharp, solemn eyes emanated a mature and commanding presence, exuding an aura of majesty.

Indeed, she was the perfect woman in his imagination. Perfect figure, perfect face, perfect temperament. Not a single aspect that didn’t tempt his heart.

“What are you looking at?” Qiu Wuji’s voice sounded like it came from hell: “Do you really think I won’t dare to kill you?”

Chu Ge finally sighed and said, “It doesn’t matter what I think. In your world, there are not just thousands, but tens of thousands of people who have fantasized about you. Even the disciples of the sect look at you with eyes full of evasion. Are you going to kill them all?”

“Can they compare to you?” Qiu Wuji said coldly. This man had wrong intentions from the beginning, and he even continued to impose his thoughts on her. What if he wrote that she really fell in love with him? Qiu Wuji didn’t say this, she was afraid that if this guy didn’t think of it before, he would be reminded by her if she said it.

Chu Ge said, “Actually, even if my original intention of writing you was impure, so what? I didn’t know you would become a real person. Is it a sin to just imagine… As I said before, maybe it was in the past, but in the future, I will respect you as a real person, and the things you are worried about… won’t happen.”

Okay, she was afraid of reminding him. Actually, he was as clear as a mirror and knew exactly what she was afraid of. Qiu Wuji suddenly felt that this person not only understood herself, but he was also very clever and insightful.

Chu Ge secretly glanced at her again, not sure if he had passed the test. Actually, this sentence avoided one meaning: he really was interested in her, but if he treated her as a real person, he wouldn’t write about it. He could just try to flirt with her.

Chu Ge himself didn’t know if he had the idea of pursuing her or not. Maybe it was normal to be attracted, like what Zhang Qiren said, who could say if they liked someone or not? To really flirt with someone he wrote himself, it would be as exaggerated as those people who treated anime girls as their wives. Chu Ge didn’t know if this was considered abnormal.

Seeing that Qiu Wuji didn’t say anything else, Chu Ge finally cautiously stood up, and looked at the time. It was already 8 o’clock in the evening.

He hadn’t eaten anything all day! Chu Ge’s stomach growled, and he said helplessly, “I don’t know if you need to eat anything in your current state, but I can’t hold it any longer, I need to eat. Do you want to come out with me and see this brand new world?”

Qiu Wuji didn’t say anything, she opened the door and walked out.

Other than making this jerk stop writing that she fell in love with a man, what should she pay attention to the most when crossing over to another world?

It was the understanding of this brand new world.

The square magic tool, the strange screen of light, this house with an unknown structure, and Chu Ge’s strange outfit- these are what a seeker who travels through the world with the intention of uncovering the truth cares about the most. Was she going to stay cooped up in this small room with a man and entangle herself?

Chu Ge silently pressed the elevator button, watching the floor numbers change slowly. Qiu Wuji was the one who spoke first: “My attire is very different from yours. Will we be questioned if we go outside?”

Chu Ge shrugged, “Nowadays, there are many people wearing traditional Chinese clothing on the streets. You just need to be careful if someone asks where you got this beautiful outfit… but never mind, it’s too beautiful to be bought anyway.”

Qiu Wuji: “…”

Inside the elevator, there was a hint of surprise in Qiu Wuji’s eyes, but she didn’t say anything. Mortal craftsmen using a winch to lift goods wasn’t something she hadn’t seen before… although the energy used for this thing was a bit strange.

Walking in the residential area, Qiu Wuji looked around at the tall buildings, feeling uncomfortable with the oppressive and enclosed feeling. This world was also quite strange, with a very thin spiritual energy, and there were no signs of anyone or anything using spiritual energy around her.

Without spiritual energy, wasn’t this just an ordinary world? Was the destination of her breakthrough and ascension just a mundane realm?

As she walked out of the neighborhood, Qiu Wuji suddenly stopped in her tracks.

It was as if a window had been opened in a secluded chamber, and suddenly clouds broke apart and the moon shone through, illuminating the brilliance of the entire sky before her.

Neon lights lit up the entire city, making it seem like daylight in the night. Cars made of steel sheets darted through the wide streets, bridges spanned the river and stretched from north to south, and flying devices flew in the sky thousands of miles above.

Some people were holding small squares, seemingly talking to others. Could they communicate from thousands of miles away?

Someone “clicks” and takes a photo with the food at a roadside stand. Capturing the soul in a photo?

Someone snapped their fingers and lit the paper roll in their mouth. The art of controlling fire?

But…

There was no spiritual energy.

Were these mundane people doing things that only immortals could do?

No…whether or not immortals existed was debatable, that was just a story made up by the man beside her.

This was…the reality.

Qiu Wuji looked around in confusion, unable to understand almost anything as there was nothing familiar to her.

Even the girl who walked by, with her long legs exposed like a woman from a demonic sect, was ignored by passersby.

What kind of place was this?

She suddenly felt…that she didn’t belong here at all.

“A stranger in a strange land, are you lost? Have you surrendered? If so, how can you explore the heavens?” Chu Ge’s voice came from beside her. “Experience it…your heaven realm.”
