Chapter 163: The Way Of Heaven Is Impartial

Under the watchful eyes of a group of big men, the little flame was naturally captured.

In fact, he could have struggled a bit. He found that Qiu Wuji’s strength was not as high as he had imagined. The Creator God in particular, had a strange mixed fighting style, and the other people seemed to be ignorant of the wonders of the nascent soul.

Especially Qiu Wuji seemed unable to use the nascent soul confinement technique possessed by herself in the world in the book. She couldn’t restrain the nascent soul at all, and even if she blocked him, she couldn’t catch him.

And the others simply didn’t have the ability to destroy the soul of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, even if he was weak. If he really wanted to escape, it seemed like there was a bit of a chance...

But then he saw the Creator God calmly take out a bead.

His Soul-nurturing Bead!

That bead was the place where his soul was stored after his physical body was destroyed. In theory, it was equivalent to a temporary body, the only place that could currently hold and confine him.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

Where did this Soul-nurturing Bead come from in this world? It was purely cheating. Looking at it from another perspective, isn’t it just the web of heaven’s fate, with nowhere to escape? It’s just materialized, that’s all.

Finally, under the encirclement of the group of people, the little flame couldn’t withstand it anymore. Qiu Wuji forcibly sealed him inside the bead and applied another seal.

It seems that this flame ability is still a summoning type, with a bit of spirituality. Being caught gave people a sense of unyielding and violent aggression. Zhong Yi had no idea that this spirited little flame had followed him through the rain all night to come here. He exclaimed with astonishment to Qiu Wuji, “You can turn invisible and summon flames. It seems that there really are dual ability users in this world. Everyone’s previous thinking seems to have to change.”

Yan Qianli inside the bead just wanted to give this idiotic situation the middle finger.

Damn, dual abilities! Do you know how much this seat could have taught you originally? Assisting you in dominating the world. But before it even started, I’ve been captured and you still don’t know, yet you’re here researching the ability to summon little flames!

“Hey, Brother Chu, this little flame of yours is so fun. It seems to be sitting cross-legged inside the bead, arms folded in anger.” Panda leaned over with his chubby face, examining the bead. “Such a cute little flame.”

Yan Qianli dropped his arms.

Wan Zijun, “Wow, it’s quite rebellious.”

Chu Ge awkwardly scratched his head. In some strange state of mind, he didn’t want Yan Qianli to be humiliated. He signaled Qiu Wuji to put away the bead and bowed to everyone. “Thank you all for your help. Let’s have a meal together another day.”

“Hey hey hey, what about writing a spin-off?” Panda said. “If you’re not writing an Qiuqiu spin-off, can you write a Yan Qianli spin-off?”

Chu Ge finally sighed. “Just kidding... Well, how about I add an extra chapter of Qiuqiu’s autobiography when I go back?”

Panda and Wan Zijun were overjoyed. “It’s about time for an update to the main story!”

No one saw the corner of Qiu Wuji’s mouth twitch under her mask. She really wanted to expose to everyone the true nature of this author, the autobiography had already been written but not uploaded yet...

...............

The young couple bid farewell to everyone in the Black Room and returned home in the pouring rain. They looked at each other for a few seconds, and it was clear that they both let out a long sigh of relief.

They thought dealing with the “male antagonist running away” would be very troublesome, but they managed to capture him back in just one night, smoothly enough to make them feel lucky.

Chu Ge sighed and, feeling somewhat shaken, slumped on the sofa: “That scared the hell out of me... I was afraid of something like this happening, so I specifically reinforced it, but it still happened... Thankfully, he didn’t have time to do anything...”

Yan Qianli finally remained silent.

He glanced at Qiu Wuji, who was sitting nearby in a daze. She seemed a bit melancholic, devoid of the joy of capturing an opponent. Perhaps Chu Ge’s words also struck a chord in her heart.

This was the question they had been exploring all along.

Yan Qianli suddenly asked, “Why did you quickly stop those people from mocking me earlier?”

Chu Ge said, “Do you believe me?”

Yan Qianli replied calmly, “If Heavenly Dao is willing to deceive, I am willing to believe.”

Chu Ge sighed, “The Yan Qianli I wrote is a world-conquering hero, arrogant and resolute. Even as a villain, he should have dignity even in defeat. He shouldn’t be subjected to the mockery and scrutiny of others.”

Yan Qianli was surprised, and even the little flame swayed slightly.

Chu Ge murmured, “Do you believe... that I have feelings for each and every one of you, including the villains? Every character in my writing, from their initial design, to every line of dialogue, to their exit scenes, has been infused with countless hours of my effort... They have their own personalities. People can criticize Yan Qianli for being bloodthirsty and brutal, but they cannot insult Yan Qianli, as it is almost equivalent to insulting myself.”

Qiu Wuji turned to look at him, and the slight melancholy in her eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by tenderness. This was the person she loved.

Yan Qianli also seemed somewhat shaken and remained speechless for a moment.

Chu Ge had no need to deceive him, as he could see that this was his genuine sentiment. He vaguely understood why Qiu Wuji had fallen in love with this person, and it didn’t seem so difficult to comprehend anymore.

Chu Ge continued, “I’ve mentioned to Qiu Wuji before that I understand the desire of all of you to break free. When Qiu Wuji ascended without consulting me this time, I was somewhat unhappy, as I have mentioned... But I still support and understand because, putting myself in your shoes, I would also want to break free from a predetermined fate, no matter how intense or impatient it may be.”

Yan Qianli finally spoke, “So, are you willing to help me break free too?”

Chu Ge shook his head, “No.”

“So, what you said earlier is nonsense then?”

“It’s simply because you are truly the villain,” Chu Ge earnestly looked at the little flame inside the bead. “I cannot create a demon that wreaks havoc on the world... I would rather kill you and then adjust and modify my future outline, so that there will be no more Yan Qianli within and beyond this book.”

Yan Qianli stared at him for a while and suddenly said, “I could sense the sincerity in your previous words, and I am grateful that even the Heavenly Dao, with its lofty perspective, acknowledges me. However, this statement contains a hint of hypocrisy.”

Chu Ge was taken aback, “What do you mean? Is it hypocritical to say that I want to kill you?”

Yan Qianli calmly replied, “Because I am an evil person, that’s why you want to kill me... But what if the one who escaped was Xie Jiuxiao from Little Cloud City, a noble gentleman with righteousness in his heart? How would you handle it? Would you allow him to explore and break free just like Qiu Wuji?”

Chu Ge’s pupils slightly contracted.

He realized that he couldn’t answer that question.

Because he truly didn’t want to. Not to mention Xie Jiuxiao, he wouldn’t even want Chu Tiange...

Yan Qianli burst into laughter, “So, what does it have to do with benevolence and righteousness? The way of heaven is impartial, treating all things as straw dogs. I won’t deceive myself!”

((The term “straw dogs” refers to sacrificial objects made of straw that were used in ancient rituals and ceremonies, only to be discarded and destroyed afterward.))
