NOVEL NEXT Chapter 44: Which One Do You Want To Learn First
Watching Qiu Wuji’s lively figure enter the kitchen, Chu Ge’s lips twitched and he really wanted to say “Mom, this woman is trying to seduce me.”
Well, yes. he cared about her, even if it makes him worried and confused. He couldn’t help but smile at her words and went back to his room to continue writing.
From the beginning, Qiu Wuji knew that he was interested in her, and while she used to find it uncomfortable before, now she was the one teasing him.
When it comes to teasing, who’s afraid of who? He just hoped she wouldn’t get so impatient that she would pull out a sword and attack him later.
Wait, did her cultivation include cultivating her emotions?
Speaking of which, Chu Ge realized that Qiu Wuji’s behavior was consistent with her cultivation. From the beginning, she had no impatient thoughts and was always quietly observing and even enjoying doing household chores like cooking and laundry.
Perhaps Qiu Wuji’s state of mind was beyond his understanding, even though he was the one who created her character. There was a difference between creating a character and truly understanding them.
“Ding!” The washing machine outside the balcony reminded Chu Ge that the clothes were done. He thought he shouldn’t disturb Qiu Wuji cooking to prevent burning, so he stopped writing and went out to hand the clothes.
Household chores are the greatest enemy of writing, that’s for sure!
He reached into the washing machine and pulled out the first item – a bra.
Chu Ge thought to himself, “Can you even put this in the washing machine? I’m not sure…”
But as he held the bra in his hands, he couldn’t help but notice how soft and fragrant it was.
No, it’s not that laundry detergent smells good… it’s because the person who wore it smelled good.
The image of Qiu Wuji wearing this thing yesterday involuntarily flashed through Chu Ge’s mind… Hmm… forget it, I’m not a pervert. I didn’t even think about it when I put it on my head before. What am I doing today?
Chu Ge glanced sneakily towards the kitchen and was about to hang the bra.
But then he was stunned by what he saw. Qiu Wuji was leaning against the door with her arms crossed, scrutinizing Chu Ge from head to toe for a long time…
“Uh… this is a misunderstanding…” Chu Ge was so flustered that he didn’t know where to put his hands: “Go cook your own food!”
Qiu Wuji said in a cool tone, “It’s okay. I wasn’t here earlier, and who knows what happened to my things. Take it if you want.”
Chu Ge: “…”
“Although I find this kind of thing incomprehensible, since it’s you, it’s normal I guess.” Qiu Wuji continued to ridicule: “After all, you’re a pervert who can fantasize about and imagine how characters in books do things.”
Chu Ge gritted his teeth and asked, “Who did you learn this ridicule from?”
“I saw someone posting a picture in the video comment section, and I thought this line would be used on you sooner or later. Sure enough.” Qiu Wuji casually went into her own room, and soon came out with a box of stockings, which she handed to Chu Ge: “Is this enough? Buy more if it’s not.”
Chu Ge angrily said, “What do I need these for?”
“Oh? Is it because you prefer the original scent?”
Chu Ge was exasperated: “What kind of websites do you visit?”
“I’m sorry, I saw this in the comment section of your novel. What kind of websites do you go to?”
Chu Ge wanted to die.
Qiu Wuji took the bra from his hand with a smile: “How long are you going to hold onto it?”
Chu Ge let go honestly and let her take it away.
The moment Qiu Wuji took it, her expression changed: “Let me tell you, Chu Ge, if you secretly take my clothes to do strange things again, I will stuff your head into the washing machine and pour all the stockings in to mix together and wash!”
After speaking, she angrily carried the bra and a box of stockings back to her room.
Chu Ge was like a wooden man from beginning to end, not knowing what to say.
He didn’t even feel angry at being wrongly accused; it was more like flirting. He didn’t even know if she was really angry.
It was like…he was the person who knew her best, but now he was slowly discovering that a woman’s heart was a bottomless pit. The more vivid and real she became, the more he couldn’t understand her. He couldn’t decipher her behavior.
The only thing that can be determined is that if he really wants to do something outrageous, he will probably be chopped.
Chu Ge sat back at the computer with his hands in his pockets, realizing that he didn’t know how to type anymore, with a messy mind.
Hmm, women are the biggest enemies of writing, that’s for sure!
….
“Dinner’s ready.”
After typing for who knows how long, Qiu Wuji’s indifferent voice came through.
Each time Chu Ge heard these three words, he felt a surge of emotion that energized him with an almost limitless amount of vitality.
Hmm, women aren’t the enemies of writing after all, that’s for sure.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you so quiet?” During dinner, Chu Ge ate silently, while Qiu Wuji sat across from him like a parent with a stern face, saying, “You’re usually so talkative?”
Chu Ge replied woodenly, “Silence is golden.”
“Don’t give me that.” Qiu Wuji said, “Your class reunion is in a few days, right?”
“Today’s Wednesday, the day after tomorrow for dinner.”
Qiu Wuji thought for a moment and said, “I estimated that I should be able to stay until then, but if you have things to do, I don’t have to stay. I can go back and deal with some things on my own.”
“Okay.” Chu Ge hadn’t planned to bring her to the gathering anyway, as they hadn’t mentioned bringing family or girlfriends. It was fine for her to go back and handle some business. But the way Qi Wuji spoke made him feel like he was making progress. She had gone from being forced to return unwillingly to being able to decide to return on her own.
He wondered if she could achieve the level of being able to come and go as she pleased with her orgininal body?
“Are you thinking about my original body?” Qiu Wuji guessed what he was thinking and sneered, “If my original body comes out, I’m afraid you’ll be beaten to dust. Are you looking forward to that?”
“Uh…”
Chu Ge could only smile and apologize, “For me, you are you, there is no difference between the main body and the clone. However, with your power, can you really beat me to death?”
Qiu Wuji looked him up and down with a surprised expression in her eyes, “How long have you been cultivating…? Three days, right? Meditating twice a day. How?”
Qiu Wuji held back for a moment and lowered her head to eat.
She was afraid she couldn’t help but hit him.
Because cultivation is long and boring, and for most people, three days is just the beginning of sensing Qi, and it’s already remarkable to achieve that. Even for Chu Ge, who was guided by her own Qi, it would take at least a month to completely transform it into his own.
But he had already completely transformed it and his first layer of Qi refinement was already quite stable, which meant he could use some simple techniques.
How could there be such cheating? Is being the Creator God so amazing? How are the rest of them supposed to feel about their own hard work for ten thousand years? And theoretically, he should be slower in this world where Qi is already sparse….?
But it’s not easy to say this out loud because Chu Ge himself is not aware of all of this. He just thinks that it’s just regular meditation, and it even helps him fall asleep, which is consistent with the ‘doing nothing and achieving everything’ state of mind. Once there is a too clear pursuit, it will destroy the current state.
“What’s wrong, is something the matter?” Chu Ge asked eagerly.
“Nothing.” Qiu Wuji made a disdainful expression. “I thought that Creator God was amazing, but seems average.”
Chu Ge didn’t mind and smiled, “My physique was not suitable for cultivation, but you improved it. It’s normal to not progress fast, but now my mental state is good and my sleep is sufficient. I’m satisfied.”
Qiu Wuji asked casually, “Although it’s just average, do you plan to learn some simple techniques? Which one do you want to learn first?”
Chu Ge’s eyes lit up, “Invisibility and X-ray vision!”
“Bang!” Half a bowl of rice was slammed onto his head, and Qiu Wuji angrily got up and left. “You can learn it by yourself!”
