What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 21: Return

With just those two words, Chu Ge’s annoyance caused by the reviews disappeared instantly, as if he had been soothed by a gentle hand.

Qiu Wuji was indeed a reasonable and grateful woman. Chu Ge was not wrong to have thought highly of her.

Chu Ge went to fetch some water and casually asked, “What about the Poison Hand Devil Lord?”

“He was still able to poison me, I feel like the important events will self-correct according to what you’ve written,” Qiu Wuji replied.

Chu Ge paused as he poured the water, furrowing his brow in thought.

After a moment, he continued pouring the water and asked, “Was it painful? Being poisoned that is…”

“Not really. It was easy to cure,” Qiu Wuji’s smile grew even stronger.

This was a question that no one in her world, including Chu Tiange, had ever asked her. Not even the most loyal elders or disciples.

Regardless of whether he wrote it or not, characters should have their own behaviors beyond the plot he had set for them. Yet no one had ever asked her like this before.

Because they saw her as a powerful sect leader who could do anything.

But he saw her as a life form he had created.

Or… a woman?

She wasn’t sure, but it felt strange. A feeling… that someone cared for her?

A little embarrassing, but also a warm feeling.

Chu Ge sat on the sofa with his water glass and pondered as he drank, “So what you’re saying is that the plot I write out is at least an unchangeable fact for you, especially for important events. If I wrote that the Poison Hand Devil Lord died in your hands instead of escaping with his soul, then he should have died.”

“Why did you write that he escaped?” Qiu Wuji asked.

Chu Ge smiled awkwardly, “For a character as strong as him, he should be left as a stepping stone for the protagonist. If you killed him too early, I would have had to create another character to fill that role, which is unnecessary.”

Qiu Wuji rolled her eyes.

Chu Ge also noticed that Qiu Wuji’s expressions were much more varied than before, becoming more vivid and lively.

Qiu Wuji sighed and lazily sat opposite him, leaning back on the sofa and said, “So you’re in control of our fate, aren’t you? Are you proud of that?”

Chu Ge thought for a moment and shook his head, “Perhaps I am in control of the fate of your world… but in a larger context, no. Just like I don’t know why you came out or whether my book will sell or not.”

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “Our meeting was fate, but it wasn’t my fate.”

Qiu Wuji was taken aback and didn’t say anything.

Chu Ge suddenly said, “I was thinking about a question before…”

“Hmm?”

“Can I practice your cultivation method? I don’t know any cultivation methods, and the one I made up myself seems to work for you. Can I create one for myself to practice?”

Qiu Wuji also found it interesting, “Can I teach you? If our body structures are not different, then you should be able to learn it. The main problem is that the spiritual energy in this world is very thin, even if you practice it, it may not have much effect.”

Chu Ge nodded, “Maybe the thin spiritual energy is to prevent me from being too overpowered?”

Qiu Wuji laughed, “You’ve been writing too much, don’t you think you are also a character in someone’s book, and changes can be made…?”

“No plagiarism.” Chu Ge said seriously, then smiled, “Just kidding, we don’t even know if we can practice it yet. Let’s try it?”

“Okay…” Qiu Wuji taught him a set of techniques and asked, “Did you write this technique?”

“No, this world is derived from my nonsense. I copied some content from the Taoist scriptures like the Clouds and Mist Scroll. I don’t know if that counts…”

“I want to see the Taoist scriptures of this world.”

“I bought some materials for this. There are various Taoist scriptures, and although they are all text, they add up to more than a dozen gigabytes. They’re stored on my computer.”

Qu Wuji didn’t understand what dozens of gigabytes meant, but it sounded like a lot, so she didn’t ask. She returned to the topic and said, “I just taught you a mental cultivation method. Now I’ll teach you how to circulate your energy. You must pay attention and remember it well. If there’s any deviation, it can cause problems, and you should know that our sect’s cultivation methods emphasize righteousness and honesty, with the twelve meridians as the main path and the extraordinary meridians as the auxiliary path…”

“Wait, wait…” Chu Ge asked cautiously, “Where are the twelve meridians and how do I circulate my energy?”

Qu Wuji widened her eyes.

Silence.

You wrote this! You wrote that we practice the twelve meridians! And now you’re asking me where they are! I thought you knew a lot about the Taoist scriptures with all those gigabytes, but you’re asking me where the meridians are! Is this the person who created our world?

Qu Wuji really wanted to beat him up.

“Don’t think I’m bullying you because I’m unreasonable! Anyone else would beat you too!” Qu Wuji couldn’t hold it in any longer and beat Chu Ge up on the sofa. “Where, where are they? You tell me where they are!”

Chu Ge covered his head and took a beating, but this time it didn’t hurt as much. She was on top of him, and her fragrance was faint. That feeling… hmm…

After beating him for a while, Qu Wuji got tired and felt it was useless. She stood up with a huff and walked to the balcony to get some fresh air.

She saw her clothes from before hanging outside with the wind blowing them about.

With her mouth half-open, Qui Wuji stared stupidly at her wrinkled stockings fluttering in the wind as if they had been rubbed in someone’s hands….

A blush quickly spread across her face.

When she left, she never thought there would be such a move. The intimate clothing she had just worn was taken by him when she turned her head… She didn’t even know what he had done with them…

She couldn’t even ask him what he did, after all, it looks like he just helped her wash them. Was she going to beat him up for that kind gesture?

Qiu Wuji held back for a long time, her lips moved for a while before he finally managed to say, “Don’t help me wash my clothes in the future, I’ll do it myself.”

Chu Ge also came out and peeked his head, his face also darkened.

What’s with the crumpled stockings? Why does it feel like he did something with them? Chu Ge was sure he didn’t do anything like that.

Is he a fetishist in his dreams?

Uh oh, he’s going to get beaten up again… Chu Ge carefully retreated.

Qiu Wuji stared at him for a while with a stern face, but didn’t hit him. Instead, she thought to herself: Is it really okay for a man and a woman to live together without any issues just by saying a few words?  Hmm, it should be possible if they are honest with themselves.

She took a deep breath and said, “I’ll just create these kinds of clothes myself in the future. Last time, my mind was a mess and I didn’t think clearly… I could have saved that money.”

“It’s not that you didn’t think clearly, it’s that you deliberately wanted to try the lifestyle of this world,” Chu Ge responded from the living room. “So why not fully immerse yourself in it, instead of just creating illusions?”

“Don’t you want to save money? Even if I say I borrowed it, I don’t know when I’ll be able to pay you back.”

“My payment just came in today, so I’m not that desperate. I make more than 10,000 a month, which is better than most people, as long as I can keep it stable.”

Qiu Wuji finally couldn’t help but sneer, “I think you just want to have real clothes to do something with!”

“I am NOT a pervert!” Chu Ge exploded.

Actually, he didn’t even know if he wanted to do something or not. Logically, he didn’t want to, but he vaguely felt…if everything was just an illusion, then was he even a real person?

The day she left the clothes behind was much more emotional than when she disappeared before. At that time, it felt like a dream, but last time, he felt the separation.

But thankfully, she came back quickly, as if she had just been on a business trip.

This time when she returned, she was even more vibrant, like a two-dimensional fairy that had been brought to life in the third dimension.
