Chapter 114: Grain Of Sea Sand

Chapter 114: Grain Of Sea Sand

Chu Ge had a good idea, but unfortunately, Qiu Wuji didn’t understand. She had never learned those techniques. As a female master, she felt extremely embarrassed, eating with a sour face and not saying a word.

She didn’t know whether to scold him for intentionally choosing things she didn’t know or to scold him for not including things she did know. Either way, it was his fault.

Chu Ge looked at Qiu Wuji, who had turned into a chameleon, and couldn’t figure out how her face suddenly turned sour after they were just laughing and talking...

Qiu Wuji poked at her food with her chopsticks, trying to save face. “Even so, you should learn some martial arts. Since we’re talking about martial arts techniques, I can think of one that I learned when I was young, the Plum Blossom Fist. It’s a comprehensive style, albeit a bit feminine, but it suits you quite well.”

Chu Ge: “?”

How does it suit me if it’s considered feminine?

No, the Plum Blossom Fist is not feminine. People have an elegant impression when they see Xu Zhu and Ding Chunqiu fighting with it!

Well, actually, that’s not a bad idea. It suits someone as handsome as me.

It’s just that the imagery feels a bit mismatched... A shiny golden armor and then the Plum Blossom Fist... emmmm...

Chu Ge tried hard to imagine the future battles he would have, but he couldn’t visualize it.

Qiu Wuji said with a stern face, “Or maybe the Finger-Flicking technique? Or the Flower-Grasping Hand? Since your golden armor is a Buddhist technique.”

“No! Let’s go with the Plum Blossom Fist, it’s good.”

Anything is better than the Finger-Flicking technique. It’s fine for Buddha to flick flowers and smile, fighting with a smiling face and fingers flicking like flowers. But if a mighty monk with a golden armor does that, it would ruin the style beyond the nine heavens.

“Alright, show me that box,” Qiu Wuji remembered his small metal box.

Chu Ge took it out and handed it over. “This thing is said to have produced a bunch of ability users in the Wang family and fueled their underground influence. I don’t know what’s inside.”

“This small box isolates energy, but the effect is not ideal. The contents still emit spiritual energy, no matter how it’s concealed. In the end, it became the source of trouble,” Qiu Wuji weighed the small box in her hand, flipping it back and forth. She formed a protective spell in her hand and carefully opened it.

Then her pupils slightly contracted.

Inside the box was just a grain of sea sand, the kind that could be bought for a few hundred yuan per ton. But it was a strange grain of sand.

As soon as the box was opened, a colorful aura swept through, like the sunset on the horizon of the sea, and then returned to normal.

Chu Ge decisively said, “Then let’s not learn it for now. Wait until you go back and learn more about it before deciding.”

Qiu Wuji looked at him silently. “When a treasure is right in front of you, it’s not something that happens often. The opportunity to obtain a technique is within reach, yet you’re willing to wait. What if you miss the chance to cultivate alongside the treasure? Don’t you care at all?”

Chu Ge reached out and held her hand. “If you feel even the slightest disadvantage, then I won’t do it. This sand may be a treasure in the eyes of others, but compared to you, it’s really just a grain of sand.”

Qiu Wuji’s gaze gradually turned soft, and she gently freed her hand, lowering her head. “We’re having a meal, why are you fiddling around? You shameless pervert.”

Although she freed her hand, she didn’t hit him... Chu Ge smiled and withdrew his hand. The two of them ate their meal with their heads down, and silence filled the air.

Yet, something was stirring in their hearts.

Even if a priceless treasure that everyone coveted was right beside them, radiating brilliance and reminding them of their existence, it was still as insignificant as a grain of sand to them, unable to stir any emotions.

It wasn’t until they finished their meal that Qiu Wuji whispered, “The official request in a month is for the sea sand. Can we keep this box?”

“We can negotiate that. I’ll ask Moon Shadow later. The box itself isn’t that important. They shouldn’t be so foolish as to buy a casket for a pearl, right?”

“Yeah, if we can keep the box, it’s perfect for storing our pearl, so that people like Hai Dongqing won’t get their hands on it,” Qiu Wuji weighed the sand in her hand and smiled somewhat smugly. “As for this sand, we can just put it in a cup for now. I can use a spell to conceal it. The spell will last for about a month, perfectly timed.”

Seeing her satisfaction as if she had just neatly arranged a room, Chu Ge found it amusing. She really resembled a housewife, even though she was talking about topics from a xianxia world.

However, the casual conversation during the meal didn’t mean that Qiu Wuji was going back to find the heaven and earth technique at that moment, nor did it mean that Chu Ge was going to learn the Plum Blossom Fist technique. For both of them, the most important thing was always writing.

As soon as they finished their meal, Chu Ge was rushed to start writing. This time, his mind was calm, and he wasn’t as distracted as he was in the 20 minutes before the meal. He quickly entered a state of concentration and began typing away.

Qiu Wuji cast a spell on the sea sand, placed the pearl in the box, tidied up the dishes and chopsticks, and thought for a moment before naturally going to make a cup of tea and placing it next to Chu Ge’s desk.

With the tea by his side, Chu Ge wasn’t even affected anymore and continued writing. Both of them were already very accustomed to this dynamic, with her acting like an assistant.

In fact, in Chu Ge’s heart, simply making tea and doing dishes, what could that be called? Clearly, it was being a wife.

He was writing, and she held her own notebook, occasionally watching videos, managing group chats, and reading book reviews. Rather than calling her an assistant... it could probably be called a husband and wife small workshop.

The warmth of home permeated through the afternoon tea fragrance, drifting through the quiet room and lingering in their respective hearts.
