Chapter 237: Don't Always Think About Naughty Things
As Mi Xiaolin was shrouded in gloom, and Gu Ruoyan was bustling about, the members of the Black Room found themselves thoroughly idle.
This group of people had initially thought they were going to engage in a great battle, ready to join the fray with bated breath. However, they soon realized that they were essentially on a sightseeing tour. Apart from Wan Zijun’s contribution, they hadn’t done a damn thing...
With the intervention of national forces and the presence of formidable individuals, the others were left merely spectating...
But those formidable individuals were really something else, especially Sixth Brother. Until now, it had always been Third Brother taking action, while Sixth Brother quietly observed like an invisible bystander. They had no idea that she was actually the most powerful of them all.
Recalling the scene with the sword song across heaven and earth, the soundwave tornado, and the sword breaking the void – that series of special effects one would find only in fantasy movies – Panda and Wan Zijun couldn’t even comprehend their own thoughts.
Could it be that Qiuqiu’s character Qiu Wuji from the book had actually come to life?
Would they even dare to continue worshiping Qiu Wuji from the book? This was becoming too terrifying...
Well, it probably wasn’t true. The real Qiu Wuji was likely even stronger. There was no need for so much back and forth. With just one move, she would’ve finished off the opponent. There was only one truth – this Qiuqiu was an ability user resembling a sword immortal, and Chu Ge had based his character on her. No wonder the more he wrote, the more realistic it felt, as if he were actually practicing according to her template.
“Why don’t we establish the Cult of Qiu Wuji?” Panda asked Wan Zijun, “And use the Sacred Fire Meow Meow Cult’s logo. What do you think?”
Wan Zijun retorted, somewhat irritated, “Stop being infatuated. Your goddess has gone to a hotel with someone else, and they’re sharing a big bed.”
Critical hit.
Panda stood there with his mouth half open, and after a while, he managed to say, “I-I worship Master Qiuqiu! Not that foolish woman who only knows how to be jealous... sniff, sniff, but that foolish woman is so cute! My lifelong nemesis is Chu Ge!”
Wan Zijun remarked, “...Chu Ge you’re talking about just left. The car is wrecked. You might want to reconsider your lifelong nemesis...”
Zhong Yi sighed, “My car...”
“Can you look a bit more dignified, brother Zong?”
“Don’t dignified people weep? My car...”
“Alright, just change the windshield. People who don’t know might think your car exploded.”
Chu Ge and his girlfriend left with the police car. Under the watchful gaze of a group of young officers, he led Qiu Wuji straight to a hotel.
The way they looked at them, it felt like they were about to conduct an unexpected search...
The woes of having a beautiful girlfriend, everywhere he went, he became the object of envy. But shouldn’t they be envious of my handsomeness first?
Do you all really think that I brought Qiuqiu into the room for some indecent purpose? I can’t do anything at all. A bunch of things are left unfinished, like the fact that there’s a little flame still burning in the room.
“Greetings, Creator God,” the Little Flame said, without the ferocity of the fire giant. His eyes spun around Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji’s linked hands as he playfully said, “Creator God, remember to call me the next time there’s such a good opportunity... hehe, hehe... I’ve missed out on killing for so long, I’m about to die of boredom... It’s so enjoyable...”
Qiu Wuji was puzzled, “What good opportunity?”
The Little Flame replied, “I haven’t killed anyone in a long time. It’s been driving me crazy... it’s so much fun...”
“But speaking of you, today’s battle was beyond my expectations. It seemed like you used a powerful move. Was the opponent really that formidable?”
“The opponent was a powerful sound manipulator,” Qiu Wuji hesitated, “Different from the Sound Cultivators in the Immortal Path, his positioning is more flexible. Even though he’s hundreds of miles away and can’t observe our situation with divine consciousness, he can act accurately...”
“Maybe he was relying on the information provided by Mi Xiaolin? Besides, his sound-based area of effect attacks should explain it; I don’t see anything mysterious.”
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Wuji agreed with Chu Ge’s explanation, “Yes, he doesn’t even know who I am. He even guessed that I’m an SSS from China, hehe. He probably can’t perceive my presence.”
“China...”
“Yeah... his tone indicates that he’s a foreigner.” Chu Ge furrowed his brows in contemplation.
Knowing that there are foreign powers behind the scenes, and that foreign abilities are this formidable, inevitably raised concerns.
What kind of people were his parents dealing with...
Just looking at this enemy who used sound attacks, Chu Ge felt as if he couldn’t handle him at all. His Golden Bell Shield couldn’t even protect his eardrums. Not everyone could analyze the essence of powers like Qiu Wuji, understanding and deciphering every attack.
Qiu Wuji knew what he was thinking, “This person is indeed very strong. My current cultivation is on par with the Golden Core stage, and my spiritual power rivals that of the Nascent Soul stage. He actually forced me to use the ultimate move, and in the end, I couldn’t pinpoint his exact location... This person will be a great adversary for us in the future.”
Chu Ge was surprised, “You actually used Sword Breaking the Void?”
He hadn’t observed the battle up close, so from a distance, he couldn’t see clearly. The Sword Breaking the Void was one of the top techniques he wrote for Qiu Wuji, a representative skill! If she truly used this move as described in the book, it could level a thousand-foot mountain.
“Let’s just consider it a pseudo move. After all, my current strength isn’t sufficient. It’s more of a symbolic gesture.” Qiu Wuji sighed, “If mother... I mean, if Aunty were here, dealing with him would be easier. Due to the singularity of abilities, the antagonistic nature brought by different powers becomes more pronounced. Space manipulation is a perfect counter to sound waves.”
If Mom could counter him, I should be able to as well... provided my cultivation keeps up.
Chu Ge let out a slight sigh of relief, and wearily lay down on the bed, “The matters here are concluded. I need to focus on cultivation. Winning against Lei Jiangyong today was essentially due to countering factors. It’s not just me being amazing.”
Qiu Wuji asked, “It’s good to know you still consider yourself a novice... When are we going back?”
“Waiting for news from Gu Ruoyan or from Zhong Yi’s side, to see if there are any loose ends to tie up. If not, I can go to Mr. Xie’s office to sign a few contracts today and then leave, right? If you want to travel a bit, we have relatively free time. There’s no such thing as weekends or weekdays.” Chu Ge mumbled under the covers, “I don’t care, I’m so tired. I’ll sleep first, and see when the phone rings...”
After a moment of silence, with no response, Chu Ge turned his head in confusion, “Why aren’t you coming up to rest? You used a big move, so you should be more tired than me...”
Qiu Wuji whispered, “There’s only one bed here!”
“What’s the big deal...” Chu Ge leaned over, reaching out and pulling her waist, “We’re an old married couple, be good, rest well, it’s just a nap. Don’t always think about naughty things...”
Qiu Wuji was pulled and fell onto the bed by him, feeling sweet in her heart.
Wait, it’s actually me thinking about naughty things?
But as she looked at Chu Ge’s peacefully closed eyes, her gaze gradually softened.
Yes, we’re an old married couple...
Qiu Wuji pouted, adjusted to a comfortable position, and snuggled into his embrace like hugging a cat, falling asleep peacefully.
