CH 19

Chu Ge was trying to find out various ways to obtain an ID. He felt that he couldn’t accomplish this through conventional means unless he knew some big leaders. It was difficult for ordinary people to operate without connections. Would the police believe the nonsense of someone who just appeared out of nowhere with no past or experience?

Perhaps it was better to report Qiu Wuji as a time traveler. However, Chu Ge didn’t believe that she will be dissected, on the contrary, she might be treated as an honored guest if she showed some magical skills. After all, the history of qigong masters was not long ago. Moreover, Qiu Wuji really had life-extending methods, which the officials are most eager for. But it was unknown if the method mentioned in the book could be practiced in the real world. If it was possible, then Chu Ge might try it himself.

But one thing was certain – she would inevitably lose her conventional freedom and most likely have to live in a designated place. It was also not possible to travel abroad for fun, etc. She would need to cooperate with the country’s research when needed.

If he thought about it from Qiu Wuji’s perspective, she definitely would not want to get caught up in this situation. On the other hand, if it’s for his own selfish reasons, since the beautiful female lead was living in his house, he might even marry her and live together. Well, even if he doesn’t marry her, they could still live together. He did not want to hand her over for research.

But since he has not found a solution, Chu Ge was not too anxious.

Qiu Wuji was a cultivator, and she had roots in another world, so she was not like an ancient girl who was trapped and could not return home, and could only be deceived into having five children.

If she could succeed, great. If not, she could just improve her cultivation and fly around the world. If someday she gained her original cultivation level in this world, she could even go to a war-torn place and form a mercenary group. What was so difficult about understanding the world? Maybe it would be more in line with Qiu Wuji’s wishes.

As an immortal, she should come and go freely, roam the seas, and dominate the world. How could she be bound by a mere identity?

Therefore, Chu Ge was not too entangled in this matter. His main focus was on writing.

Last time, he overdrew on buying clothes, and if he did not write, he would not be able to afford his meals, let alone woo an immortal woman to be his wife. Fortunately, his royalty would be credited soon, and he would have more than 10,000 yuan this month, which was enough to support two people.

The performance of this book was his lifeline, and if he failed, he would lose everything.

That’s why when Qiu Wuji didn’t allow him to write according to the original plot, it was a bit annoying, like a writer who wanted to create a harem but was forced by his wife to have only one heroine.

So, it was not only a matter of respecting Qiu Wuji, but also exploring the connection and ‘divine will’ between the two worlds. It was also a very interesting thing to do.

Just wanting to enjoy flirting with the female lead and not wanting to know why she could come out? That’s something that must be known.

Otherwise, if the dimensional barrier closes again one day, and they happen to be in love, it could be fatal. If they did not figure this out, how could they proceed?

Chu Ge has always had a far-reaching and complete way of thinking. As Zhang Qiren said, he loves to lay out foreshadowing because of his personality, as if something that would only be revealed after a thousand chapters has already been hinted at here.

“Qiu Wuji entered the deepest part of the Wan Snake Cave, where mist filled the pool in front of her. A strange scale was suspended above, and the radiance of the treasure was mixed with a faint blood color. The blood color was somewhat dim, as if it had experienced countless years of vicissitudes.”

“Qiu Wuji knew that this was the Green Dragon Snake Scale.”

“This Fallen Dragon Pool was very mysterious and dangerous. Qiu Wuji did not fly up, but instead used the silk ribbon in her hand to try to pull the Green Dragon Snake Scale from a distance.”

“But when she pulled, she was unable to move it. It was as if an extremely strong suction force had firmly fixed the scale above the pool. The bloodthirsty aura permeated through the silk ribbon, causing Qiu Wuji’s blood and qi to surge, almost driving her mad.”

“Qiu Wuji concentrated her mind and calmed her qi, slowly dissolving the bloodthirsty intent. The force that was holding the scale was unable to resist her suction, and she saw the scale beginning to move.”

“At this moment, a bloody demonic hand appeared in the mist behind her.”

“End of chapter.”

“Save and publish.”

Looking at the criticism in the book review section and the group chat from the readers, Chu Ge felt refreshed.

“If I didn’t do this, how would they keep reading the next chapter?”

He took a deep breath, and his gaze became even more serious as he began to continue the next chapter.

This was how it was done….

…..

“Ding!” Qiu Wuji turned around as if she had eyes behind her, decisively abandoning the silk ribbon and stabbing with a sword, accurately hitting the blood-red demonic hand, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.

From the smoke came a strange laughter: “Worthy of the name Qiu Wuji, with boundless spiritual consciousness like moonlight reflecting on water, indeed cannot be attacked by surprise.”

A withered old man gradually appeared, his face covered in skin and bones, as if he had trained himself to look like a skeleton, his eyes full of ferocity.

The Poison Hand Devil Lord.

Qiu Wuji spoke up: “I suddenly feel his writing is average, writing a villain in the shape of a villain, just like labeling.”

Poison Hand Devil Lord: “?”

“What are you talking about? We are all in the same realm, why can’t I understand your words?”

Qiu Wuji lowered her eyes and looked at the tip of her sword: “You sneaked into this place yesterday, but because you couldn’t break through the maze, you were delayed outside. I broke through the maze and entered, and you followed me quietly…”

The Poison Hand Devil Lord’s heart thumped with fear as he wondered, ‘How did she know? It’s like she’s been watching my every move.’

This shouldn’t be happening!

If she knew that he was lurking nearby the whole time, why didn’t she deal with him outside instead of letting him enter?

Was there a conspiracy?

His thoughts raced, but he still managed to say, “It’s good that Sect Master Qiu knows. In everything, we should follow the principle of first come, first served. I was clearly here first, shouldn’t I at least get a share of what’s inside?”

As he spoke, a dark red centipede quietly crawled out of his sleeve and disappeared along the ground.

Qiu Wuji seemed oblivious and said calmly, “First come first serve. I agree with that. And since I saw you first, your life is mine.”

The Poison Hand Devil Lord was taken aback, ‘What? Has Qiu Wuji been possessed by someone else? Shouldn’t she be angry and refute me for forcibly demanding a share, since she was the one who broke through the maze first?’

Before he could react, the brilliant sword light illuminated the dark cave.

Qiu Wuji took the lead!

Within the narrow cave, sword energy was everywhere, shooting toward the Poison Hand Devil Lord from all directions.

There was no room for dodging or evading.

The countless sword nets created by Qiu Wuji were continuous and unbroken, making it impossible for him to even use his secret techniques. He still needed to control the blood-red centipede with his divine sense, but Qiu Wuji’s sword moves were like an endless net, shattering everything, even his divine sense, and preventing him from using any of his underhanded tricks.

How did Qiu Wuji become so unpredictable?!

He and Qiu Wuji were in the same realm, and he thought they were evenly matched, especially with his underhanded tricks. But only in real combat did he realize that the realm did not represent combat strength, and Qiu Wuji’s strength was much stronger than his own!

Did he come here just to die?

Qiu Wuji used her sword techniques and follow-up attacks. The Poison Hand Devil Lord prepared to use the Tai Xu fire, a special flame that could break through fabric treasures, even if it meant destroying his cultivation, to flee with his essence and soul.

Just at this moment, the blood-red centipede that had been released and not yet controlled crawled to the edge of the Falling Dragon Pool.

The misty breath on the Falling Dragon Pool seeped into its body, and the centipede visibly expanded.

Qiu Wuji had been keeping an eye on the centipede. When she saw it transform on its own without being controlled, her heart sank. She quickly redirected her attacks toward the centipede.

With a loud bang, the centipede was torn apart and exploded, its blood splashing onto the Green Dragon Snake Scale.

The scale suddenly emitted a blood-colored divine light, and an ancient dragon’s might spread wildly, indiscriminately attacking all creatures within the cave.

A satin ribbon surrounded Qiu Wuji’s body, forming a nebula-like cover that barely withstood the wrath of the dragon. The magic weapon of the Poison Hand Devil Lord was already destroyed by the combined force of the dragon’s power and sword energy, and the entire person was pierced by a thousand sword lights, a pitiful sight to behold.

The Poison Hand Devil Lord’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his body exploded like his centipede. The explosion was thousands of times more violent than a centipede’s explosion, and the fierce impact overwhelmed Qiu Wuji, who was resisting the dragon’s power. She was unable to hold on and was sent flying toward the Fallen Dragon Pool, where she fell down.

At the same time, a divine soul flew away, and the Poison Hand Devil Lord’s murderous laughter could be heard in the air: “I will seek revenge for my destroyed body one day!”

Qiu Wuji was powerless to stop the escape of the divine soul and the toxic gas from the Fallen Dragon Pool rushed into her body. She didn’t have the energy to care about the Poison Hand Devil Lord’s divine soul.

Feeling the invasion of toxins in her body, her mind repeated one thought over and over again.

Am I really going to be poisoned… Is it really the will of heaven?
