While Mi Xiaolin was shrouded in gloom and Gu Ruoyan was busy, the group in the dark room was completely idle.
This group, who had expected a fierce battle, found themselves truly just on vacation. Aside from Wan Zijun writing two words, they hadn't done a single thing.
With national power involved, plus some formidable figures, everyone else could really just stand by and watch…
But those formidable figures were just too formidable… especially Liuwa.
Before, it was always Chu Ge who made the moves, while Liuwa quietly watched him perform like an invisible child. They never knew she was the most powerful one.
Recalling that Heaven and Earth Sword Song, the sonic tornado, the sword shattering the void—that series of special effects that only existed in fantasy stories—Panda Wan Zijun had no idea what he was thinking.
Could it really be Qiu Qiu from the book who's stepped out...? Will I still dare to lick the Qiu Qiu from the book after this? This is terrifying...
Hmm, it shouldn't be real. The real Qiu Qiu is much stronger than this. She wouldn't need to go through all that back and forth; she could kill her opponent in one move. So there's only one truth: this Qiu Qiu has a sword-wielding superpower, and Chu Da used her as a template for his book. No wonder it gets more and more realistic, like you could actually practice it.
"Let's establish the Qiu Qiu Cult," Panda asked Wan Zijun. "What do you think about using the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult's logo?"
Wan Zijun said irritably, "Stop being a fangirl. Your goddess went to a hotel with someone, staying in a double room." Critical hit.
Panda, mouth agape, finally managed to stammer, "I...I worship Sect Master Qiu! Not this stupid, jealous woman... Waaaaah, even this stupid woman is so cute! Shorty Ge's nemesis!"
Wan Zijun: "...The Shorty Ge you're talking about just went out and wrecked his car. Think about it, maybe you should find a different nemesis..."
Zhong Yi: "Waaaaah, my car..."
"Brother Zhong, can't you have a bit more of a superior air?"
"Don't superiors eat? My car..."
"Alright, just replace the windshield. People will think the car exploded."
Chu Ge and his wife left in a police car, dragging Qiu Wuji straight to the hotel amidst the lewd stares of a group of junior officers.
Judging from their looks, they seemed ready for a surprise inspection...
Beauty is a curse, she's the center of envy wherever she goes, but shouldn't you all be jealous of my good looks first?
"Do you think I dragged Qiuqiu into this room to do something beastly? I can't do anything! I have a ton of unfinished business, like this little flame squatting here right now."
"Greetings, Father God." The little flame, no longer as ferocious as the fire giant, darted its eyes around Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji's clasped hands, grinning, "Father God, remember to call me next time there's something like this..."
Qiu Wuji asked curiously, "What good thing?"
"I haven't killed anyone in ages, I'm dying of pent-up energy... It feels so good..."
"Why can I imagine your true form licking your lips with your tongue while you're in your flame form? Disgusting."
"..." You imagined this form and then called me disgusting? The little flame dared not speak its anger.
Qiu Wuji turned to look at Chu Ge, whose expression remained calm. She smiled slightly: "You really killed someone?"
"Yes."
"How did it feel?"
"I thought you'd criticize me."
"Why would I criticize you?" Qiu Wuji chuckled: "In the struggle for supremacy in the immortal path, how can one not kill... If someone's primordial spirit hadn't escaped, I would have killed them all." Little Flame: "?" Qiu Wuji looked at Chu Ge, her gaze softening: "I know it's your first time killing someone, so you're bound to be nervous, perhaps even wondering if he should be handed over to the authorities... But you must get used to this kind of thing. In times of crisis, there's no time for deliberation. Right now it's just a domestic conflict; what if it becomes a battle between enemy nations in the future? If you're still hesitant, you'll only..." "You've ruined yourself."
"I...I'm alright." Chu Ge hesitated. "My unease right now is the opposite. It's not because of the murder, but because I feel too calm after killing him. I didn't even feel my heartbeat while sitting in the police car...Is something wrong with me...?"
Qiu Wuji paused, then Little Flame burst into laughter: "Good, good!"
Chu Ge shoved it back into the book's world: "Shut up."
Little Flame's legs twitched, still laughing wildly: "The Heavenly Dao looks down, and this is how it should be! How can someone be so infatuated with a woman they created? It's utterly absurd!"
"Whoosh!" Little Flame was thrown back after being used and discarded.
The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment.
Qiu Wuji's face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth: "Father God, right? Please slay Yan Qianlie! You'll learn bad habits from him!"
Chu Ge put his hands in his pockets.
"You're reluctant, aren't you!" Qiu Wuji pretended to go back: "I'll go back and kill!"
"You weren't wrapped in a blanket, so if you go back like this, all your clothes will be scattered everywhere—bra, thorns…a veritable shower of flowers."
Qiu Wuji: "…"
"Alright…" Chu Ge gently hugged her, softly saying, "I won't turn bad…"
Qiu Wuji said sternly, "I think you're already quite bad."
"With you here, I can't turn bad."
Qiu Wuji snorted.
"As for you, today's battle was beyond my expectations. It felt like you used your ultimate move. Was your opponent really that powerful?"
"His opponent is a very strong sound cultivator," Qiu Wuji hesitated. "He's a bit different from immortal sound cultivators. His positioning is more flexible. Even though he's a hundred miles away and doesn't seem to have any divine sense observing our situation, he can still act accurately..."
"Maybe he's using Mi Xiaolin's positioning? Besides, his sound area-of-effect is enough. I don't think he's that mysterious."
Qiu Wuji thought for a moment and agreed with Chu Ge's statement: "Yes, he doesn't even know who I am. He even guessed I'm an SSS from China, haha. He probably can't see me."
"China..."
"Hmm... judging from his tone, he's a foreigner."
Chu Ge frowned in thought.
Knowing that there are foreign forces behind him, yet foreign superpowers are so strong, it's hard not to feel some unease.
"What kind of people are my parents facing...?" Just looking at this enemy using sonic attacks, Chu Ge felt like he couldn't handle it. His Golden Bell Shield couldn't even protect his eardrums. Not everyone could see through the essence of power like Qiu Wuji, analyzing every attack so thoroughly.
Qiu Wuji knew what he was thinking: "This person is indeed very strong. My current cultivation is comparable to the Golden Core stage, and my soul power is even more comparable to the Nascent Soul stage. This person actually forced me to use the Tai Xu Divine Sword, and in the end, I couldn't pinpoint his exact location... This person will be our greatest enemy in the future."
Chu Ge was moved: "You really used the Tai Xu Divine Sword?"
He hadn't observed her battle up close; he couldn't see it clearly from a distance. The Tai Xu Divine Sword was one of the top-tier techniques he had written for Qiu Wuji, one of his signature skills! If he really used this move in the book, even a thousand-foot mountain could be flattened.
"It's only a pseudo-Taixu Divine Sword, after all, this body's power is insufficient, so it's just for show." Qiu Wuji sighed. "If your mother... oh, Auntie were here, it would be easier to beat him. Due to the singular nature of his ability, the counteracting properties seem more prominent. Spatial abilities are a complete counter to this kind of sound wave." If Mom can completely counter it, I guess I can too... provided my cultivation keeps up.
Chu Ge breathed a slight sigh of relief, lying wearily on the bed. "Now that things here are over, I need to intensify my cultivation. Beating Lei Jiangyong today was mainly due to counteracting factors, not because I'm particularly powerful."
Qiu Wuji asked, "It's good that you know you're still weak... When are you going back?"
"Wait for news from Gu Ruoyan or Zhong Yi, see if there's anything left to settle. If not, I can go to President Xie's place today to sign a few contracts and then leave, right? If you want to travel, that's fine too. Our schedule is relatively flexible, there's no such thing as a weekend." "Chu Ge said, pulling his hair up, "Never mind, I'm so tired, I'll just sleep and see when the phone rings..." After a long pause, seeing no movement, Chu Ge turned his head curiously, "Why aren't you upstairs to rest? You've used your full strength, you should be more tired than me..." Qiu Wuji gritted her teeth, "There's only one bed here!"
"It's no big deal..." Chu Ge leaned over and put his arm around her waist, "We're an old married couple, sweetie, get some rest, it's just sleep, don't always think about lewd things..." Qiu Wuji was pulled onto the bed by him, feeling both annoyed and amused.
On the contrary, I'm the one thinking about lewd things?
But looking at Chu Ge's calm face with his eyes closed, her gaze gradually softened.
Yes, we're an old married couple...
Qiu Wuji pouted, adjusted to a comfortable position, snuggled into his arms, hugged his waist like a big bear, and fell asleep peacefully.
