Chapter 139: Toast To The Moon

In fact, it wasn’t until this moment that Chu Ge remembered that he had once communicated closely with Qiu Wuji using telepathy. They had already learned telepathy.

But when they wanted to speak privately, it seemed like they had forgotten about this amazing ability and instinctively chose to whisper in each other’s ears. And when their lips accidentally touched, it sent his heart racing.

Unfortunately, long-distance telepathy was something he still couldn’t do… Perhaps Qiu Wuji could, but it wasn’t worth the effort and there was no need for it.

On the other hand, this cross-domain relay, which didn’t consume anything for Qiu Wuji, was a bit excessive for him… But maybe Qiu Wuji intentionally wanted him to exercise his mental strength more?

Anyway, what Qiu Qiu said definitely had meaning!

Speaking of the last time he came here, oh, it was when Qiu Wuji refused to come home. He dragged her back home and gave her a spanking in the secluded room. After returning, he didn’t feel too exhausted. It showed that giving a spanking wasn’t his limit. It was much easier than fixing Yan Qianli’s deviation. In fact, he could stay longer.

Chu Ge also wanted to give it a try. If he linked his spiritual world with the technique of heaven and earth, but did nothing and just listened quietly, how long could he maintain it…

It felt similar to when Qiu Wuji crossed over… Qiu Qiu always maintained control and minimized consumption in the real world, so now he wanted to try controlling consumption and see if he could stay longer in the world of the book. It was an interesting feeling.

I want to experience what you have experienced.

The true form of Qiu Wuji had a strong presence. It was completely different from the cute and adorable clone. Standing with hands behind her back, gazing at the moon, her clothes fluttering, her expression calm, and a slight smile on her face. That kind of aura, as if overlooking the world from the top of a mountain, was not intentional. It came naturally.

The clone over there, perhaps due to the lack of power, lacked much of that aura. Once she put on a poker face and lost this kind of presence, she became a arrogant tsundere… Maybe it was because of the difference between traditional and modern attire? Or was it the difference in environment? I don’t know.

Chu Ge only knew that the girl he was pursuing seemed to be equivalent to several people, including in terms of identity…

One person, one moon, relative for a while. Qiu Wuji pushed open the door and stepped out, placing a pot of wine on the stone table at the mountaintop. She poured herself a cup and raised it to the moon, saying, “Please.”

She’s playing the gesture of raising a cup to invite the moon. She knows very well that I can’t drink in this state. Don’t force me to materialize and spank your butt!

The moon showed a helpless expression.

Qiu Wuji smiled and leisurely drank her wine.

Suddenly, she wondered, if there were others here looking at the moon, would they see such vivid expressions?

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Chu Tiange was saying to his friend, “The moon was happy just now, but now it’s angry.”

Friend: “?”

Old Master Kuzhai in the withered cottage looked at the moon and murmured, “If the heavens have emotions…”

Disciple: “?”

Chu Ge didn’t have time to care about how others saw the moon. He urged Qiu Wuji telepathically, “Stop drinking and tell me what happened over there.”

Qiu Wuji sipped her wine leisurely. “I was just traveling, nothing worth mentioning. Creator God is just being concerned and causing chaos… By the way, how many words did you write?”

“I am currently multitasking, writing and being present here simultaneously. It feels smoother to write and perceive this place at the same time. It’s a win-win situation, so you don’t have to worry about my writing.” Chu Ge hummed. “But how many words did someone write in your autobiography today?”

Qiu Wuji quickly changed the subject, “We’re almost there.”

Chu Ge: “…”

“In the outskirts, there’s an abandoned warehouse by the river. Everything inside has been destroyed. Some personnel are currently trying to restore or repair things. It looks like they’ve been at it for a while, and some things have already been fixed. There are people comparing footprints and searching for fingerprints, they seem quite professional. Moon Shadow is with them, but they didn’t let me inside, saying they were afraid of damaging footprints and such. Hmph, if I really wanted to go in, I could walk without a trace in the snow, leaving no footprints at all!”

“Now you’re being arrogant again… Which Qiu Wuji are you now?”

“There is only one Qiu Wuji, regardless of how you perceive it.”

“That Qiu Wuji wouldn’t say such philosophical things.”

“I used to say it, but not anymore. Creator God is too foolish, it’s hard to communicate deeply.”

“Qiu Wuji, you…” The moon tried to roll up its sleeves, only to realize it didn’t have any hands.

Qiu Wuji leisurely poured another pot of wine, smiling.

Of course, the two Qiu Wujis are different, not in terms of temperament, but in mindset. Even if you really came over, this Qiu Wuji wouldn’t cook for you. You’re thinking too highly of yourself. Maybe she’ll keep you in the rear courtyard and tease you every day without letting you touch her. Oh, wait, that’s not good. Let’s go out and explore the world together.

Chu Ge urged, “How is it over there?”

“After some negotiation by Moon Shadow, they finally let me in. Actually, I could still perform the technique from the outside, but I’m not happy about it. If they don’t let me in, I won’t do it.”

Chu Ge scoffed at her.

Expressionless, Qiu Wuji looked up at the moon.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

So, you’re mocking me, huh?

Chu Ge hurriedly prompted, “And then?”

“Using my techniques takes a while and is mentally draining. I asked if the sea sand could be kept for a longer period or if they could just give it to us as a reward. Moon Shadow said she needs to seek permission, so I’m waiting for her response.”

Chu Ge was speechless and couldn’t help but laugh. Upon reflection, it made sense. He had been too straightforward before, only thinking about whether or not to help when the government came knocking. He hadn’t considered that he could take advantage of the situation and ask for some benefits. It’s perfectly fine to assert oneself confidently.

After a brief moment, Qiu Wuji said, “Moon Shadow replied. The higher-ups said if we really find something, they can extend the time, but they didn’t specify the exact number of days. I’m not pleased. What if they say it’s just one more day.”

Chu Ge said, “There’s no need to make things difficult for Moon Shadow. She consulted with the higher-ups, and they won’t convene a meeting on this matter anytime soon. Their agreement to extend it is already a positive response. It’s better to get them to promise not to record your abilities…”

“Abilities don’t really matter. It’s better to mislead them. We need some sort of explanation, don’t we?”

“That’s true.”

“Well, since Creator God thinks we shouldn’t negotiate, shall I begin?”

“Hmm…” Chu Ge sighed. “Actually, it’s mainly because I’m starting to get tired. I don’t know how much longer I can continue the livestream.”

“You’re so useless.”

“When someone first came out, she just threathened me with a sword and talked some nonsense…”

Qiu Wuji wanted to hit the moon but realized she couldn’t reach it. After some thought, she smiled and said, “Unfortunately, someone still can’t come out here even for the first time. Average is just average.”

Chu Ge was defeated and fell silent.

“Alright, I’ll start the technique… Don’t talk for now…”

At the riverside warehouse, Moon Shadow and some colleagues watched in astonishment as Qiu Wuji’s hands emitted a radiant glow. Unclear and indescribable patterns flowed through the air, as if fragments of dimensions and chaotic time were visible, drifting in the river of spacetime. It was like watching special effects from The Matrix.

“Is it really temporal and spatial manipulation?” someone whispered in awe to their colleague. “If we were to evaluate it, what rating would it be?”

“S+?”

Moon Shadow pondered for a moment and whispered, “If it could be fully developed, undoubtedly… SSS. This rating system is inadequate for this.”

“The possibility of full development is too small. This thing is too incredible. Even if it can be slightly controlled, it’s already worthy of an S… I think S+ is about right.”

Moon Shadow didn’t argue either and stared in awe at the temporal energy swirling around Qiu Wuji. It seems that Sister Qiu’s ability to turn invisible is not just an invisibility power, but some kind of temporal spatial application.

The universe is described as the expanse in all directions, and throughout history, it has been referred to as spacetime. The so-called universe is inherently a combination of time and space, the greatest proposition. The mysteries of spacetime are incredibly fascinating, something that has captivated generations of humans. Unexpectedly, it appears in the bodies of someone familiar. It seems she possesses… they wonder to what extent she has developed it.

Qiu Wuji observed their reactions and shook her head slightly. She herself didn’t understand the ways of spacetime… This was merely a superficial spiritual technique, a residual trace of the past, used to track the whereabouts of the true form. In the world of cultivation, many people dabble in various superficial studies, but when it comes to exploring time and space, making it their path, at least according to the current setting of the Creator God, no one would do so.

Perhaps in the setting of ascending to the heavenly realm, there are people in the heavenly realm who do… But that is too far away, and I don’t know when Chu Ge will allow people to ascend. Why think so much… Qiu Wuji closed her eyes and carefully sensed.

Amidst the diverse thoughts of people, the river of time seemed to flow smoothly, and clues began to emerge. In a shimmering fragment of the dimensions, one could see a quiet dock somewhere near the sea, where a large ship was moored.

Qiu Wuji opened her eyes and said, “That’s the place.”
