Chapter 113: Chu Ge’s Practice

Chu Ge was murmuring, “It’s so nice to see you. These past two days... I really wanted to see you.”

Qiu Wuji didn’t reply. Her tense body gradually softened unconsciously, quietly leaning against him, feeling that a hug seemed quite nice.

He could still smile, jump, and hug people. Nothing bad had happened... It’s good that nothing bad happened.

Being able to fully touch his body, feeling the tangible sensation of him holding herself tightly as if she might run away, it was no longer an illusory dream, it was real. The anxiety and restlessness of this day, the feeling of being absent-minded no matter what she did, completely disappeared in this embrace.

The moonlight was warm, just like when he represented the moon, smiling with narrowed eyes, like a smiling QQ emoticon.

Autumn’s atmosphere became even stronger.

The night was slightly cool, and falling leaves twirled and floated around them, like graceful colorful butterflies dancing for them.

Did going through a day of separation test how much she cared about him?

Qiu Wuji hesitated, should she also wrap her arms around him and experience it...

Just as she hesitated, she felt Chu Ge indicating a slight tilt of his head. She wasn’t sure if he wanted to speak in her ear or... do something else?

Qiu Wuji became alert.

His lips brushed against her ear, and she could feel his breath on her ear, tickling and slightly frightening.

Qiu Wuji instinctively reacted and grabbed hold of the man’s ear. “What are you trying to do?”

Chu Ge: “...”

To be frank, he couldn’t help but want to kiss her cheek just now. It really was an uncontrollable impulse...

He felt like he couldn’t say such a thing; he might get slapped... So he could only force a smile and say, “I just wanted to talk. Why are you so nervous?”

“Um, how much longer are you going to stand here? Can’t you say whatever you want to say when we get back?” Sect Master Qiu dragged the liar by the ear. “I’m only worried that something might happen to you, causing the world to collapse. It’s not about caring for you as a person. Don’t take advantage of my concern!”

“Ah, yes, yes, we’ll talk when we get back.” Chu Ge, who was being dragged by the ear, felt quite regretful. It would’ve been better if he wasn’t so impulsive; he could have hugged her a bit longer.

But he was still very happy. He hugged her, and she smelled so good.

Even the thought of stealing a kiss from her only resulted in his ear being pulled, without getting slapped. To the point that everything at home smelled pleasant, even the bed.

Chu Ge wondered what Qiu Wuji’s current mood was in the adjacent room. Was she tossing and turning? In any case, he fell back asleep peacefully, with a smile on his face in his dreams.

Then he woke up after eleven o’clock...

Chu Ge was shocked and jumped up. “Oh no, my update...”

Without even washing his face, he hurriedly grabbed his phone and glanced at it. No one was criticizing in the comments; instead, they seemed happy. “Today’s update is Qiu Qiu’s autobiography, great, great!”

“Brother Chu’s main story is just for fun. Qiu Qiu’s autobiography is so much better.”

“What are you saying? The main story is better!”

“Yes, yes, Brother Chu, update the main story more!”

Chu Ge: “...”

Forget it, they’re a bunch of idiots. I’ll go wash up.

“Is that so?” Qiu Wuji had doubts about his statement since she didn’t see the previous situation in the battle. He used to just jump out directly.

If he really ambushed and made a sudden move, then she had to give him some credit. It’s good to see some improvement.

Chu Ge said, “There’s another big issue, Master.”

“What is it?”

“I really don’t know my own level of strength, so I can’t make a proper assessment.”

Qiu Wuji paused, contemplating silently, before saying, “It’s difficult to measure solely based on strength. The main issue is your lack of practical combat experience. If we compare on paper, you’re not inferior to that water-based esper, and you might even be stronger because the Golden Bell Shield is truly one of the best defensive techniques, and your agility is not to be underestimated... But in actual combat, you will most likely not be able to defeat him, let alone his leader.”

Chu Ge nodded. Yesterday, he was able to overpower Hai Dongqing, not because Hai Dongqing was weak, but because Qiu Wuji had already electrocuted him and then trapped him in the “Zhuang Zhou’s Butterfly Dream.” The chair shattered when he struck him, which significantly weakened his combat ability. Even then, it took a lot of effort on his part to win. In a fair fight, he was most likely not a match for him.

Qiu Wuji had been warning him about Hai Dongqing’s strength all along, expressing her concerns that he might not be able to defeat him.

Not to mention Iron Anvil, he was a tough opponent who could overpower a group of people in a fight. Even if he managed to land a punch, it would require extraordinary footwork and taking advantage of chaos. In a fair fight, it would be impossible to defeat Iron Anvil.

“How can I practice actual combat?” Chu Ge felt frustrated. “I’ve been in so many fights recently, and it’s already rare in this society to have so many opportunities for combat. Where can I train for practical combat in my daily life?”

“Fight with the people in the Black Room,” Qiu Wuji said with a hint of a smile. “Or there’s another way.”

“Huh?”

Qiu Wuji pointed to her own face. “Fight with me.”

Chu Ge almost sprayed his food out.

Wait a minute, now that I think about it, it’s not necessarily a bad idea. Engaging in close combat with my beautiful Master, sweating and panting... I truly am a writer...

Qiu Wuji was unaware of his dirty thoughts and became somewhat excited. “Speaking of which, you haven’t learned any attack techniques. Your punches and kicks look pitiful. I have to consider teaching you a set of techniques...”

Chu Ge said, “Since we’re already following the path of the Golden Bell Shield, why not go for something like the Diamond Demon Subduing Fist, a straightforward and powerful technique? That seems to suit my style...”

“If that’s the case, I could have taught you a long time ago. Why did I hesitate for so long?” Qiu Wuji asked.

“Is there a reason for that?”

“Yes,” Qiu Wuji replied. “The reason I have only taught you agility and defense is that these are skills that can be compatible with any cultivation method. It’s always good to start with them. But when it comes to the core practice, I must teach you what I excel at. If I were to introduce other profound techniques, I might not be able to teach them well... However, my expertise lies in swordsmanship, which is not suitable for this world, so I have been hesitant.”

Pausing for a moment, she continued, “Also, personally, I feel that the teachings of my creator god should encompass everything and not be limited to swordsmanship or any specific technique. It’s rare to find all-encompassing techniques...”.

Chu Ge smiled and shook his head. “I thought it was a big issue... But it’s not a big deal. These things aren’t our core pursuit anyway. It’s fine to have a general understanding. I just want to know how to enter the book and meet you, to know how you can stay here forever.”

Qiu Wuji chewed her food and silently watched him without saying a word.

Chu Ge pondered for a moment. “From this perspective, I’m more likely to focus on spiritual arts, such as techniques related to manipulating the heavens and earth or time and space. But those are more challenging and not something I can consider in my current cultivation. So, I’ll focus on spiritual arts for now.”

Qiu Wuji tilted her head and looked at him. She found it absurd yet natural that he, as a novice in cultivation, spoke confidently about it. He was the creator of that world, so naturally, no one understood the theoretical settings better than him, not even herself, Qiu Wuji.

As the “creator god,” he had his own thoughts and choices.

“So...” Qiu Wuji asked, “Have you decided what to focus on in this current stage?”

“Well,” Chu Ge replied earnestly, “In the book, it’s the transition from the mortal world to the world of immortals, and I’ve incorporated many elements from martial arts works, including the technique of manipulating the heavens and earth.”
