As Mi Xiaolin was shrouded in gloom, and Gu Ruoyan was bustling about, the members of the Black Room found themselves thoroughly idle.
This group of people had initially thought they were going to engage in a great battle, ready to join the fray with bated breath. However, they soon realized that they were essentially on a sightseeing tour. Apart from Wan Zijunâs contribution, they hadnât done a damn thingâ¦
With the intervention of national forces and the presence of formidable individuals, the others were left merely spectatingâ¦
But those formidable individuals were really something else, especially Sixth Brother. Until now, it had always been Third Brother taking action, while Sixth Brother quietly observed like an invisible bystander. They had no idea that she was actually the most powerful of them all.
Recalling the scene with the sword song across heaven and earth, the soundwave tornado, and the sword breaking the void â that series of special effects one would find only in fantasy movies â Panda and Wan Zijun couldnât even comprehend their own thoughts.
Could it be that Qiuqiuâs character Qiu Wuji from the book had actually come to life?
Would they even dare to continue worshiping Qiu Wuji from the book? This was becoming too terrifyingâ¦
Well, it probably wasnât true. The real Qiu Wuji was likely even stronger. There was no need for so much back and forth. With just one move, she wouldâve finished off the opponent. There was only one truth â this Qiuqiu was an ability user resembling a sword immortal, and Chu Ge had based his character on her. No wonder the more he wrote, the more realistic it felt, as if he were actually practicing according to her template.
âWhy donât we establish the Cult of Qiu Wuji?â Panda asked Wan Zijun, âAnd use the Sacred Fire Meow Meow Cultâs logo. What do you think?â
Wan Zijun retorted, somewhat irritated, âStop being infatuated. Your goddess has gone to a hotel with someone else, and theyâre sharing a big bed.â
Critical hit.
Panda stood there with his mouth half open, and after a while, he managed to say, âI-I worship Master Qiuqiu! Not that foolish woman who only knows how to be jealous⦠sniff, sniff, but that foolish woman is so cute! My lifelong nemesis is Chu Ge!â
Wan Zijun remarked, ââ¦Chu Ge youâre talking about just left. The car is wrecked. You might want to reconsider your lifelong nemesisâ¦â
Zhong Yi sighed, âMy carâ¦â
âCan you look a bit more dignified, brother Zong?â
âDonât dignified people weep? My carâ¦â
âAlright, just change the windshield. People who donât know might think your car exploded.â
Chu Ge and his girlfriend left with the police car. Under the watchful gaze of a group of young officers, he led Qiu Wuji straight to a hotel.
The way they looked at them, it felt like they were about to conduct an unexpected searchâ¦
The woes of having a beautiful girlfriend, everywhere he went, he became the object of envy. But shouldnât they be envious of my handsomeness first?
Do you all really think that I brought Qiuqiu into the room for some indecent purpose? I canât do anything at all. A bunch of things are left unfinished, like the fact that thereâs a little flame still burning in the room.
âGreetings, Creator God,â the Little Flame said, without the ferocity of the fire giant. His eyes spun around Chu Ge and Qiu Wujiâs linked hands as he playfully said, âCreator God, remember to call me the next time thereâs such a good opportunity⦠hehe, hehe⦠Iâve missed out on killing for so long, Iâm about to die of boredom⦠Itâs so enjoyableâ¦â
Qiu Wuji was puzzled, âWhat good opportunity?â
The Little Flame replied, âI havenât killed anyone in a long time. Itâs been driving me crazy⦠itâs so much funâ¦â
âWhy can I imagine you in your flame form with your tongue sticking out and licking your lips? How disgusting.â
ââ¦â
You imagined that form and then you call me disgusting? The Little Flame dared not express his anger.
Qiu Wuji turned to look at Chu Ge, who had a calm expression. She smiled slightly, âYou actually killed someone?â
âMhm.â
âHow does it feel?â
âI thought you would criticize me.â
âWhy would I criticize you?â Qiu Wuji smiled faintly, âIn the struggle for supremacy among immortals, there is always killing⦠If it werenât for someoneâs divine consciousness escaping, I would have killed them too.â
The Little Flame: â?â
Qiu Wuji looked at Chu Ge with a gentle gaze, âI know itâs your first time killing, and you might feel uneasy about it. Perhaps youâre still thinking about whether it would have been better to hand him over to the authorities⦠But you need to get used to this kind of thing. When things are urgent, thereâs no time for you to think. Currently, it was just a small scuffle. If we were to face a more dangerous enemy in battle, if you still hesitate, youâll only harm yourself.â
âI⦠am alright,â Chu Ge hesitated, âMy feeling of unease at this moment is quite the opposite. Itâs not because I killed someone, but because I felt too calm after killing. Even while sitting in the police car, I didnât feel my heart racing⦠Is something wrong with me in this state?â
Qiu Wuji was taken aback, and the Little Flame burst into laughter, âGood, good!â
Chu Ge stuffed it back into the world of the book, âShut up.â
The Little Flame was kicking his feet in glee, still laughing wildly, âHeavenly Dao looks down upon us, this is how it should be! Who would become infatuated with a woman they created themselves? Utterly absurd-â
âSwoosh!â The Little Flame was thrown back.
The atmosphere in the room quieted down.
Qiu Wujiâs face was flushed, and she said through clenched teeth, âYouâd better kill Yan Qianli, youâre learning bad things from him!â
Chu Ge shoved his hands into his pockets.
âNot willing?!â Qiu Wuji pretended to leave, âIâll go back and kill him then!â
Chu Ge remained motionless and teased, âWrapping yourself in a little blanket, when you go back like that, your clothes will scatter all over the place. Your bra, panties⦠like the goddess of heaven scattering flowers.â
Qiu Wuji: ââ¦â
âAlrightâ¦â Chu Ge gently held her hand, softly saying, âI wonât turn badâ¦â
Qiu Wuji had a stern expression, âI think youâre already quite bad.â
âWith you around, I canât be too bad.â
Qiu Wuji snorted.
âBut speaking of you, todayâs battle was beyond my expectations. It seemed like you used a powerful move. Was the opponent really that formidable?â
âThe opponent was a powerful sound manipulator,â Qiu Wuji hesitated, âDifferent from the Sound Cultivators in the Immortal Path, his positioning is more flexible. Even though heâs hundreds of miles away and canât observe our situation with divine consciousness, he can act accuratelyâ¦â
âMaybe he was relying on the information provided by Mi Xiaolin? Besides, his sound-based area of effect attacks should explain it; I donât see anything mysterious.â
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Wuji agreed with Chu Geâs explanation, âYes, he doesnât even know who I am. He even guessed that Iâm an SSS from China, hehe. He probably canât perceive my presence.â
âChinaâ¦â
âYeah⦠his tone indicates that heâs a foreigner.â Chu Ge furrowed his brows in contemplation.
Knowing that there are foreign powers behind the scenes, and that foreign abilities are this formidable, inevitably raised concerns.
What kind of people were his parents dealing withâ¦
Just looking at this enemy who used sound attacks, Chu Ge felt as if he couldnât handle him at all. His Golden Bell Shield couldnât even protect his eardrums. Not everyone could analyze the essence of powers like Qiu Wuji, understanding and deciphering every attack.
Qiu Wuji knew what he was thinking, âThis person is indeed very strong. My current cultivation is on par with the Golden Core stage, and my spiritual power rivals that of the Nascent Soul stage. He actually forced me to use the ultimate move, and in the end, I couldnât pinpoint his exact location⦠This person will be a great adversary for us in the future.â
Chu Ge was surprised, âYou actually used Sword Breaking the Void?â
He hadnât observed the battle up close, so from a distance, he couldnât see clearly. The Sword Breaking the Void was one of the top techniques he wrote for Qiu Wuji, a representative skill! If she truly used this move as described in the book, it could level a thousand-foot mountain.
âLetâs just consider it a pseudo move. After all, my current strength isnât sufficient. Itâs more of a symbolic gesture.â Qiu Wuji sighed, âIf mother⦠I mean, if Aunty were here, dealing with him would be easier. Due to the singularity of abilities, the antagonistic nature brought by different powers becomes more pronounced. Space manipulation is a perfect counter to sound waves.â
If Mom could counter him, I should be able to as well⦠provided my cultivation keeps up.
Chu Ge let out a slight sigh of relief, and wearily lay down on the bed, âThe matters here are concluded. I need to focus on cultivation. Winning against Lei Jiangyong today was essentially due to countering factors. Itâs not just me being amazing.â
Qiu Wuji asked, âItâs good to know you still consider yourself a novice⦠When are we going back?â
âWaiting for news from Gu Ruoyan or from Zhong Yiâs side, to see if there are any loose ends to tie up. If not, I can go to Mr. Xieâs office to sign a few contracts today and then leave, right? If you want to travel a bit, we have relatively free time. Thereâs no such thing as weekends or weekdays.â Chu Ge mumbled under the covers, âI donât care, Iâm so tired. Iâll sleep first, and see when the phone ringsâ¦â
After a moment of silence, with no response, Chu Ge turned his head in confusion, âWhy arenât you coming up to rest? You used a big move, so you should be more tired than meâ¦â
Qiu Wuji whispered, âThereâs only one bed here!â
âWhatâs the big dealâ¦â Chu Ge leaned over, reaching out and pulling her waist, âWeâre an old married couple, be good, rest well, itâs just a nap. Donât always think about naughty thingsâ¦â
Qiu Wuji was pulled and fell onto the bed by him, feeling sweet in her heart.
Wait, itâs actually me thinking about naughty things?
But as she looked at Chu Geâs peacefully closed eyes, her gaze gradually softened.
Yes, weâre an old married coupleâ¦n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiu Wuji pouted, adjusted to a comfortable position, and snuggled into his embrace like hugging a cat, falling asleep peacefully.
