NOVEL NEXT Chapter 36: This Is Normal
Qiu Wuji had no response to this kind of talk. If Chu Ge didn’t write novels, of course, she wouldn’t be here, what was there to react to?
However, it wasn’t until they entered through the door that Qiu Wuji slowly began to understand why Chu Ge would say that.
This was a very classical ballroom, which seemed quite normal on the surface — for Chu Ge, classical was roughly the type of ballroom that had been popular in the 1990s, which is rarely heard of now.
Men and women danced together in the hall, gentle and elegant music echoed softly, lights flickered, and shiny lights passed over the dancing people. Qiu Wuji could clearly see someone kissing while dancing.
And there were people touching their partners’ bodies from behind.
Onlookers turned a blind eye, as if it were normal.
There were small tables around the dance floor, with groups of men and women sitting around drinking and chatting, which seemed normal. In the corner, there were still men and women hugging and nibbling on each other, their hands quietly slipping up under their clothes…
Clearly the music was soothing, the decor was elegant, and it seemed quite tasteful, but at a glance, it was all decadent.
“This kind of place,” Chu Ge rubbed his chin, “is still normal, it’s a place for people to play with their own interests.”
Qiu Wuji was dumbfounded: “This is normal?”
“Of course it’s normal. It’s nothing to worry about if it’s within the regular boundaries. If there were really any problems, we wouldn’t be able to get in so smoothly without being checked, this is a place for ordinary people to have fun.”
Qiu Wuji: “…”
Do you have any misunderstandings about ordinary people?
“Sir, how many of you?” It wasn’t until then that a waiter came forward to greet them.
“Two,” Chu Ge said, “This is our first time here, do you have any interesting recommendations?”
The waiter’s eyes turned around Qiu Wuji and showed a strange smile.
Since you already have a female companion, there’s nothing interesting left for you, or maybe you have a special talent and can play with others in front of your female companion?
“Besides a special performance later in the evening, there are no other activities. Isn’t the lady with you the best activity for you, sir, since she is so beautiful?”
“Sigh…” Chu Ge sighed. This guy can really talk, much better than us keyboard warriors.
He didn’t ask any further and requested a table in the corner where he squeezed in with Qiu Wuji.
Yes, they were really squeezed in… the more secluded the table, the more it was designed for couples. With dim lighting and no one to disturb, a male-female pair would prefer this type of table…
Qiu Wuji squeezed against the wall, while Chu Ge sat on the outside. Qiu Wuji, who had just suffered a reality check in her attempt at independence, remained silent and allowed Chu Ge to negotiate.
Chu Ge was pressed up against the warm jade-like and fragrant Qiu Wuji, their arms resting against each other, allowing him to feel the softness of her arm. He suppressed his heart’s wavering and looked seriously at the menu.
Then his expression turned grim.
All his thoughts and fantasies were shattered by the series of numbers on the menu.
A bottle of wine was over a thousand, a good one was over ten thousand, and he didn’t even dare to look at the better ones.
A plate of peanuts cost ninety-nine. Are you robbing me?
Facing the increasingly stiff smile of the waiter next to him, Chu Ge forced himself to remain calm and said, “A bottle of beer and a plate of peanuts.”
The waiter’s smile turned into a smirk, “Alright.”
At least he had some manners….
But Chu Ge felt that it would be better if the waiter could make some sarcastic remarks and gave Qiu Wuji an excuse to beat someone up and storm out.
The waiter quickly brought the beer and peanuts and didn’t bother with the table anymore. Only then did Qiu Wuji speak her first words, “Can you move over a bit? Why are you sticking so close?”
Chu Ge helplessly replied, “This sofa is just this long.”
Qiu Wuji shrugged and didn’t bother to argue with him and said, “What, can’t stand other people’s looks?”
Chu Ge admitted, “Yeah, it’s embarrassing.”
“If you want to cultivate immortality, you have to maintain a calm and balanced mentality, otherwise there will be no progress.”
“…You couldn’t even stop a car and almost got us seen as fools. And you still want to teach me stuff? Ow, that hurts!”
It’s not just hitting anymore, now she’s even resorting to pinching flesh?
“Do you do this in your cultivation world too?”
Qiu Wuji gritted her teeth and said, “I’m trying to talk seriously with you!”
Chu Ge smiled apologetically and poured some beer, “Yes, Master.”
Qiu Wuji was too lazy to pay attention to him and absentmindedly picked up a glass of beer and took a sip, only to spit it out immediately. “What kind of horse piss is this?”
“Although this beer is the cheapest here… that one sip just wasted ten yuan.”
“That’s strange,” Qiu Wuji looked around, “This place shouldn’t be so expensive just for providing a dancing venue, right? Is it my judgment that’s wrong?”
Poor Qiu Wuji was already doubting herself. Chu Ge smiled wryly, “This time your judgment is correct, it’s this place that has a problem. Let’s observe… Oh yeah, can you use your spiritual sense to look at other places?”
“I can.”
In fact, Qiu Wuji had already opened her spiritual sense to explore… Although the current cultivation was only Qi refining, strictly speaking, she was a soul body with the perception of a Crossing Tribulation stage cultivator and knowledge of immortal arts, capable of doing things far beyond what a normal Qi-refining stage cultivator could understand.
But she didn’t get far with her observations at first.
Spiritual sense is not always a good thing… For example, if her spiritual sense passed through the wall she was leaning against, she could “see” the next-door couple embracing and kissing, their clothes slipping off their shoulders, revealing a white patch, and then the man burying his head in…
Not only could she see it, but she could also hear it, which was maddening.
That kind of seductive sound was really making her blush and her heart race.
In the entire atmosphere, the two people sitting next to each other couldn’t help but feel a rising temperature, their arms touching each other getting hotter and hotter, as if they were both running a fever.
Chu Ge couldn’t control his wandering thoughts, although he had both a desire and fear in his heart. He dared not do anything else except carefully rubbing the arm that was already touching him, as if this could bring him some comfort.
Under such an atmosphere, Qiu Wuji also felt something stirring in his heart, a feeling of desire that he had never experienced before in her life.
It was all because of the shamelessness of this ‘Creator God’. Originally, such feelings were impossible in the setting of a millennium-long cultivation, but he insisted on including them in his writing, it had to be there!
Qiu Wuji gritted her teeth for a while and said, “Chu Ge, are you going to stop or do you want me to beat you up?”
Chu Ge quickly moved away as if he was shocked by an electric current, feeling a bit ashamed of himself.
This seemed a bit shady, they didn’t have that kind of relationship…
