Chapter 129: Husband’s Authority
Chu Ge’s head was tilted as his ear was being pulled, but he didn’t get up. He looked at the furious Qiu Wuji with a smirk on his face.
Qiu Wuji’s chest heaved with anger, her teeth clenched tightly, and it seemed like fire was about to burst out of her eyes. Through gritted teeth, she said, “You... you, Chu!”
“Hey, if you spanking my butt makes you perverted, then me spanking you makes me perverted too, right?” Chu Ge lazily replied, “Is this spanking the result of ten thousand years of cultivation?”
Qiu Wuji was momentarily stunned, only then realizing that it was she who subconsciously tried to “counterattack in advance” by spanking Chu Ge first.
“Well, I can hit you anyway, but you can’t hit me,” Qiu Wuji began to act like a brat.
Chu Ge stood up and turned around, presenting his buttocks, saying, “Since you’re so eager to touch, let me give you a touch... Ah~”
His large butt wiggled in front of her, and Qiu Wuji instinctively kicked out, causing Chu Ge to gracefully fly onto the bed and lie motionless.
Qiu Wuji said, “I’m sorry, your posture was just so inviting, I couldn’t resist...”
Chu Ge: “...”
He flipped over and sat on the edge of the bed, giving Qiu Wuji a sideways glance. He looked her up and down for a while before lazily saying, “Sect Master Qiu, now that you dominate the Nine Provinces Immortal Path, you dare to run away from home, huh?”
Qiu Wuji took a step back with a stern face, her eyes unconsciously shifting.
“Do you also realize that you made a mistake?” Chu Ge also had a stern expression, “What did you do wrong?”
Qiu Wuji continued to retreat.
She lacked confidence. Truly, she had been helped by him. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she was saved. Otherwise, how could she have dominated the Nine Provinces? Forget about victory or defeat, even if she had been more severely injured, the current situation wouldn’t be as favorable.
Despite his repeated reminders not to be careless, not to underestimate the enemy, and to return early to prepare for battle, it still ended up like this.
Qiu Wuji felt extremely embarrassed, unable to face him. She even felt a tingling sensation in her buttocks, as if she deserved to be beaten.
So she decided to run away from home.
Seeing her cautious retreat, a rare display of timidity, Chu Ge felt a bit amused, although he maintained a stern expression. “Why are you retreating? Am I scarier than Yan Qianli? He can kill people, what can I do? Come here.”
Qiu Wuji thought you’re much scarier than Yan Qianli; you can devour people...
Ultimately feeling guilty and short of breath, Qiu Wuji pouted slightly and walked over, saying, “Don’t hit me.”
Qiu Wuji was taken aback for a moment, but then Chu Ge continued, “Hey, in a sense, you and Yan Qianli can be considered allies. You’re both challenging me, the big boss. Together, you’re breaking free from constraints and seizing control of your own fate, soaring freely through the heavens and seas.”
Qiu Wuji quietly massaged his shoulders and whispered, “That’s true.”
There was a moment of silence between the two.
After a while, Qiu Wuji muttered, “Who asked this big boss to be so annoying?”
Implicit meaning: Who asked this big boss to be so good that he managed to win me over.
Chu Ge pretended not to understand and sighed, “Saying I’m the boss, but I’m innocent. I’m just writing books to make money. Who did I provoke...?”
Qiu Wuji nodded, from his perspective, he was somewhat of an “innocent victim.” Who could have expected that writing a novel would result in the world becoming real, characters rebelling, and him being held at swordpoint to change the plot.
Chu Ge leaned back, feeling a little tired. Qiu Wuji didn’t refuse and let him lean against her, then proceeded to massage his temples.
Chu Ge comfortably leaned against the mountains amidst the clouds, but he couldn’t fully enjoy the gentle and sweet moment. He spoke softly, “Qiu Qiu, I’m conflicted... I’m not some big boss trying to manipulate others’ emotions. Not just with you, but even with Yan Qianli, I feel it’s only natural for us to want to break free. Putting ourselves in each other’s shoes, no one can tolerate it, right? But both you and I have this feeling that if everything spirals out of control, I might make mistakes... At least with my current mental strength, I can’t handle such chaos or breakdown.”
Qiu Wuji responded with a thoughtful “Hmm.” It was precisely because of this premonition that she dared not arbitrarily change the plot, such as going to kill Chu Tiange and the like. Such thoughts had flashed through her mind before, but she didn’t dare to act on them.
It was highly likely that it wasn’t about killing Chu Tiange, but killing Chu Ge instead.
The most probable outcome would be the “arrival of the Heavenly Dao for correction,” turning it into a decisive battle between herself and Chu Ge, where one side would inevitably end up in a sorry state. She couldn’t do that.
However, she, Qiu Wuji, could exercise control and cautiously attempt to make changes from various corners and edges, but others didn’t have that leeway. Other people’s so-called caution was merely about evading the notice of the Heavenly Dao. Once they believed they had the ability to challenge it, the first thing they would do is “tear the heavens” without a doubt.
“So, we were originally enemies.” Qiu Wuji whispered, “The god who created the world and the cultivator who wants to grasp their own destiny. In other people’s stories, it’s a tale of humans overcoming fate. So, in essence, you have been helping me challenge yourself.”
“I hate that kind of cheesy plot. I write stories for fun, not to get entangled.” Chu Ge said firmly, “I’m sure that fundamentally we have no conflict and can coexist. It’s just that the timeline has been accelerated, causing some trouble... Once it reaches a certain point, the world can run on its own. By then, the so-called creator god can achieve his goal and step back, taking his dear Qiu Qiu with him on a journey.”
Qiu Wuji angrily retorted, “Bah! Who wants to go on a journey with you? Are you still dreaming?”
While letting him lean against her and massaging his temples, Qiu Wuji herself felt that her words lacked persuasiveness. Angrily, she pushed him away, “Is that enough? Let’s go eat!”
Chu Ge sat up straight and looked at her seriously, “Qiu Qiu, it’s great that you’re here... I was wondering, what would happen if characters like Yan Qianli were to come out into this world?”
Qiu Wuji was slightly startled and slowly widened her eyes.
What would happen if the female protagonist came out of the book? It seemed like it wouldn’t be much of a problem. Everyone could find common ground and reach a compromise. If you have the ability, go and date the female protagonist.
What would be truly troublesome is if the male antagonist came out of the book?
