Chapter 203: Being Jealous Of Oneself

Looking at his own appearance as a little disciple, Chu Ge felt it was quite strange.

In the outside world, Qiu Wuji’s gaze was gentle and full of admiration, with a hint of delight at the thought of ‘being able to openly form a pair with him in the book world’.

In the book world, Qiu Wuji had a serious expression, hands behind her back, and was obviously disappointed that Chu Ge’s skills were too weak to even handle split concentration.

But with the way you’re handling split concentration, it looks like a split personality, Chu Ge thought.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Qiu Wuji stood behind him, pinched his shoulder, and leaned down to whisper with a flirtatious tone, “Does it feel great to try to conquer the female sect leader of Cloud Horizon Sect?”

Chu Ge immediately responded with an “uh-huh.”

However, Qiu Wuji’s expression instantly changed, and the pinch on Chu Ge’s shoulder turned into a pinch on his flesh. “You prefer her, don’t you?”

Chu Ge: “???”

What’s going on? She was getting jealous of herself? But isn’t this her too?

Qiu Wuji covered her face and whined, “I cook for you, manage the book reviews for you, and even kissed you. Yet you like a woman with a poker face!”

“I… I… It’s not like that…” Chu Ge was stammering, trying to appease her. “Of course, I like this Qiu Wuji… You’re the same person, right? Oh my god…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Through the gaps in her fingers, Qiu Wuji sneakily glanced at him and said pitifully, “I’ll go cook, and you focus on writing instead of always thinking about women!”

Chu Ge stood there with his mouth half-open, watching her run off to the kitchen, feeling utterly confused.

In the world of the book.

Qiu Wuji glanced sideways at Chu Ge. “Done with the split concentration? Can the shutdown here be restarted?”

Chu Ge coughed. “Yeah, yeah. Where are we going today?”

“Go eat the food that little lovesick girl cooked. After all, you like that Qiu Wuji!” Qiu Wuji waved her sleeve and left.

Chu Ge sat on the grass, his eyes wandering in circles, completely stunned for two or three seconds before he quickly got up and chased after her. “Hey, wait for me! I’m not familiar with this place…”

Qiu Wuji rolled up her sleeves and once again took him to the main peak, to her own front door.

Two little maidservants peeked at Chu Ge, secretly observing him.

“They’re not real maidservants, just disciples helping me take care of the flowers and plants in the mountain, doing some tasks assigned from above. They’re not servant girls to tend to daily life… If you dare to have any ideas about them, I’ll throw you off the mountain.” Qiu Wuji popped out this sentence from between her teeth.

Chu Ge followed her into the house without a sideways glance. “I know you don’t have maidservants.”

“Yes, you wrote it, didn’t you…” Qiu Wuji closed the door, sat in the hall, and observed Chu Ge for a while before suddenly smiling. “Chu Ge, you are truly my disciple now.”

Chu Ge said, “Well, I was already your disciple.”

“That’s not the same. According to you, this is called a sense of ceremony.” Qiu Wuji rubbed her chin and thought for a moment. “I’m thinking of having you kneel and serve tea.”

“Is that so. Then over there, are you going to kneel and learn writing from me?” Chu Ge teased.

“What does it have to do with me whether that useless woman kneels or not?”

Chu Ge shrugged, “Then have ‘her’ kneel first. I don’t believe you’re serious.”

Qiu Wuji glared at him.

Chu Ge glared back.

They stared at each other for a while until Qiu Wuji huffed and gave up on the topic. “How long can your consciousness stay here? It feels like it’s been a while.”

Chu Ge roughly estimated, “I should be able to stay for about half an hour, maybe a little less.”

“That’s already much better than I imagined.” Qiu Wuji asked, “The conditions here are different from over there, so you don’t need to worry about choosing. I’ll teach you the basic heart technique of my sect first, so that your identity as my direct disciple is more plausible… A few minutes should be enough. What else do you want to learn?”

Chu Ge scratched his head, “I haven’t decided yet… I am considering, if the stay time can be extended, I could write ‘seven days later’, then hide here and write the book for seven days, and come out to amaze everyone…”

Qiu Wuji: “?”

Chu Ge: “…”

Qiu Wuji raised an eyebrow, “You came to the world of immortals and martial arts, with your lover by your side… ah no, your master in front of you, and what you’re thinking about is writing and saving drafts? Go die, Chu Ge!”

With a loud “bang,” an illusory big hand slapped down, smacking Chu Ge onto the floor, twitching a few times before lying still.

Qiu Wuji was so angry that the entire mountain trembled. She glared at Chu Ge for a while, then said indignantly, “First, learn the basic heart technique. If you can’t memorize it within half an hour, no meals for you!”

…

“Time to eat.” The voice from the kitchen came.

Chu Ge’s consciousness receded like a tide from the world of the book, returning to his physical body. He stretched lazily, feeling somewhat exhausted.

Staying with his divine sense like that was really tiring. No wonder Qiu Wuji used to go back when she couldn’t hold on, and after returning, there would be a period of exhaustion before she could come out instantly. This time, he truly experienced it. His head felt heavy, and there was a bit of swelling, as if he had just recovered from a minor illness.

He realized that he wouldn’t be able to do it again for quite a while. It would take at least two to three days to rest before he could try again.

What’s even more dizzying is the attitudes of the two Qiu Wuji. They actually started getting jealous of each other. It made Chu Ge feel like he was dreaming, completely flabbergasted.

Over there, she deliberately didn’t use divine sense to transmit the heart technique and instead punished Chu Ge to memorize it… Although the basic heart technique was short, how could he memorize it within half an hour? If he couldn’t finish memorizing, he wasn’t allowed to eat.

But then, from the other side, a gentle call to have dinner…

Chu Ge felt like he needed to undergo some kind of electric therapy…

He ran to the kitchen to help Qiu Wuji bring the food to the table and found out that she had made those trendy dishes that looked very colorful and impressive, but he didn’t know if they would taste good.

No wonder it took so long today.

The two of them sat facing each other in a strange atmosphere. They held their chopsticks and looked at each other for a while before Qiu Wuji said, “What are you looking at? Aren’t you going to eat?”

Chu Ge cautiously asked, “Didn’t you tell me not to eat?”

Qiu Wuji paused with her chopsticks, looking angry. “Are you going to listen to her or me? So, you prefer to listen to that fierce woman, right? Then don’t eat!”

Chu Ge quickly lowered his head and started eating. When a woman gets angry, she even scolds herself.

Qiu Wuji also started eating, grumbling, “She’s so annoying, making people memorize that broken heart technique…”

Chu Ge wisely avoided getting involved and let her be jealous.

“But, speaking of which…” Qiu Wuji stopped scolding herself and asked him with some anticipation, “How did it feel to spend time there today? Wasn’t it beautiful with its picturesque scenery? Isn’t the air much fresher?”

Chu Ge said, “It’s definitely much better than here. I suspect my real body would get intoxicated just breathing the air over there.”

Qiu Wuji picked up a bite of food and exclaimed, “Eat more, practice hard, and try to stay there for a few more days next time. I’ll take you out to have fun.”

“Isn’t that fierce woman taking me out?” Chu Ge asked.

Qiu Wuji looked menacing.

Chu Ge continued eating.

“Next time you go in, I’ll go in too!” Qiu Wuji grumbled, “I stay here while you’re there having a good time with other women, even if it’s actually me… It’s better if I’m not here…”

“Well…” Chu Ge tentatively asked, “In the past, when you stayed there for a long time and watched me here having a good time with you, why didn’t you feel this way?”

Qiu Wuji propped her chin and thought for a long time before slowly saying, “In the past, it could be regarded as my avatar venting by teasing you… but now you’re standing right in front of me.”

Chu Ge still found it difficult to empathize and just shook his head while eating.

In the end, it’s just that she’s a jealous person.

But… this experience is really interesting… Chu Ge is looking forward to what fun things will happen when he stays there for longer.
