What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 300: Book Published, Intersection Of Illusion And Reality

“There’s a Nine-Headed Serpent that came to find me, it looks foolishly fierce. Should I annihilate it?”

“Do what your heart tells you.”

“My heart tells me to annihilate Qiu Wuji.”

“Yes, that’s exactly how I’m writing it.”

Qiu Wuji: “…”

Chu Ge sat cross-legged in his chair, while Yan Qianli sat cross-legged on Chu Ge’s knee, and Qingyan sat cross-legged on the other knee. They were having a bonfire party.

At first glance, it seemed mystical, with two flames burning softly on a person’s laps, not even singeing his pants.

Upon second inspection, it looked cute, like two fluffy toy balls.

With a third glance, Qiu Wuji felt a tinge of jealousy. Why did Chu Ge and Yan Qianli look so close as if they were a couple?

Then, she wondered if there was something wrong with her mind for feeling jealous over something like this.

Self-reflection +1 for today.

But before she could finish her self-reflection, what they said made her furious.

“Chu Ge, Yan Qianli, do you want to die?”

“Calm down, calm down, distinguish between the plot and reality. The readers don’t know that Yan Qianli has changed. In the book, Yan Qianli is your arch-nemesis, but I’ve already discussed it with you…”

Even though it was discussed, saying it out loud like this, in front of her, that they wanted to annihilate her, was infuriating!

“So, is Yan Qianli colluding with overseas forces to cause chaos in the homeland?” Qiu Wuji took out her phone. “I’m reporting you both to the authorities for 500,000 yuan.”

Chu Ge’s expression twitched.

She could go to a forum and start labeling people. She’s become skilled enough.

Yan Qianli and Qingyan were still clueless about what they were discussing.

Chu Ge reached out and touched the two flames, saying, “I won’t reveal specific plot details. Qianqian, just follow your heart. If the other side’s goal is to ‘restore the Heavenly Dao’ and ‘maintain the world’s integrity,’ then you don’t need to be a spy. You can do whatever you want… The real reason I need you to act as a spy is if the other side wants to oppose the Heavenly Dao. In that case, you need to inform me immediately.”

Yan Qianli said, “As long as you don’t touch my head, we can discuss anything.”

Chu Ge continued to touch his head.

Yan Qianli: “…”

Chu Ge said, “Furthermore, regarding alchemy, I didn’t know that I could access such high-level items until now. Since I can summon a Nascent Soul-level spiritual body, theoretically, I can summon other Nascent Soul-level items.”

Yan Qianli’s eyes lit up. “So you mean you can directly summon Nascent Soul-level pills, and I don’t need to refine them? It’s perfect for you, who hasn’t even broken through to the Golden Core stage. Why would you refuse this opportunity?”

Chu Ge said, “But if I summon Nascent Soul-level materials and let you refine something even higher level, it would make more sense….probably even more meaningful.”

Qiu Wuji added, “Definitely more meaningful. The ‘Soul Essence Pill’ primarily targets soul power. Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators can’t handle it. However, your soul power is precisely meant for such pills. Why consume those lower-tier pills?”

Yan Qianli angrily said, “I think you want me to become a little flame, refining pills!”

Qiu Wuji glared at him. “Are you trying to pick a fight with me?”

“Damn it…” Little Flame stood up, clenching his fist.

Chu Ge extended a finger and pressed it against his head.

Little Flame sat back down, arms crossed, sulking.

“Go refine pills,” Chu Ge said with a gentle smile. “I’ll get you a new alchemy furnace. The one we had before doesn’t match Qianqian’s status in our family.”

Yan Qianli muttered, “Damn it.”

Under the alchemy furnace, a red and a blue flame intertwined, rotating gently, in an intimate dance.

It looked like a Tai Chi symbol, the more you looked at it, the more profound it appeared.

Chu Ge watched from the side, feeling that this was closer to the Dao, and it might bring about a magical leap in both the quality of the alchemy and Yan Qianli’s personal cultivation.

Yin and Yang, the eternal balance of the heavens.

Setting aside personal feelings and moral judgments, viewing these issues from the impartial perspective of the Heavenly Dao, the previous Yan Qianli had a high probability of meeting a tragic end. But now, his potential was boundless, and there was a place for him in the Heavenly Realm.

Chu Tiange’s solitary path was actually quite inconsistent with Chu Ge’s overall worldview. There was a slight awkwardness here, and he didn’t know whether it would become an obstacle to Chu Tiange’s path or a flaw in the Heavenly Dao.

So when Qiu Wuji hinted at playing matchmaker for Chu Tiange, Chu Ge didn’t object.

Although it didn’t fit the plot… he could observe for now.

Chu Ge withdrew from the alchemy room and let the two little flames continue their intimate dance. He returned to the room.

Qiu Wuji was already busy organizing the manuscripts that had been taken from the book, the ones they had been working on for the past month, writing and drawing.

Seeing him return, she pouted and said, “These need to be scanned, and we don’t have a scanner at home.”

She said they needed to be scanned, but you could tell she was in a good mood. A big pile of stored drafts meant they could take a long break. Qiu Wuji had only started drawing herself and felt the pressure of keeping up with regular updates. The daily grind of waking up and facing the same work with no rest could become nauseating after a while.

She didn’t even need to do daily updates yet. She really didn’t know how Chu Ge managed to endure it.

Chu Ge hugged her waist from behind and asked in a low voice, “Have you been researching the mirror during these days I’ve been in the book?”

Qiu Wuji was taken aback. Now, Chu Ge seemed to value cultivation matters more than she did. It felt a bit strange.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, “Do you still think that mirror could establish a connection between the two worlds?”

“Indeed, it’s at least a research direction.”

“I haven’t stopped researching during these days. I’ve basically figured out the principle, and I can replicate it with my own methods,” Qiu Wuji said. “You asked me earlier about how my spatial ability has improved. It’s based on that. I’ve learned about the changes in spatial dimensions between the real and illusory worlds from the mirror…”

“Does it provide any insights into establishing a connection between our two worlds?”

“Regarding the establishment of a connection between our two worlds, there’s another layer to consider. Our worlds are fundamentally different, with different theoretical foundations. The mirror represents the true and the illusory, while we need to turn the illusory into reality… Even in terms of the difficulty of location, the mirror has its reflection there, allowing direct perception, while we don’t.”

Chu Ge thought for a moment and suddenly smiled, “It seems we also have something that can provide direct correspondence.”josei

Qiu Wuji wondered, “What? Don’t tell me it’s your computer documents.”

“Exactly, the way you put it made me realize that I needed to sit in front of my computer documents to feel the world. That’s the key. Being able to correlate, or rather, being able to immerse oneself, is like seeing another world in the mirror.”

“But you’ve been correlating for so long, and we haven’t seen any deeper changes.”

“Let’s try a different medium,” Chu Ge said, pulling her out of the door. “Come on, let’s go scan the drawing and writing drafts.”

Qiu Wuji was puzzled, “Are you playing riddles with me now?”

“Oh, you’ll know when we get out.”

There was a print shop right at the entrance of the residential area, and a small bookstore next to it. The couple brought a large stack of manuscripts to the shop for scanning. Chu Ge then pulled Qiu Wuji into the bookstore and headed straight for the fiction section.

Qiu Wuji knew what he was looking for.

During their trip to Shanghai earlier, they discussed the idea of printed books. It had been two months, and had it become a reality?

Her eyes were sharp, and they quickly found a familiar name among a pile of books.

“Chu Tian Wuji (Volume 1).”

It had actually been published.

Qiu Wuji turned to Chu Ge and asked, “When did it come out? I had no idea…”

“Someone mentioned it in the group today, so I guess it just came out… Not many people know, and it seems like the website didn’t promote it?” Chu Ge replied casually, his gaze somewhat absent-minded as he looked at the book spine.

No matter how quietly it had been released, it might be a communication issue. After all, he had ventured into the book world and wasn’t available for other matters…

What was important was that it was really published…

The most primitive dream of so many writers.

From now on, when someone asked if they could buy the book at the bookstore, he could finally hold his head high and say, “Yes!”

Regardless of how popular it was online, from clicks, subscriptions, to comic adaptations, even if it was a big hit, it always felt like there was a layer of separation. Everyone was like ghosts on the internet, and once you left the online world, there was nothing, nothing remained, and nothing was left behind.

This was the moment when he could feel that he had stepped into real life and left his mark on the physical world.

Qiu Wuji didn’t say anything else and turned her head to look at Chu Ge’s profile. She could roughly understand that feeling.

This was also a change from the virtual to the real.

If looking at a computer document always felt like there was a layer of separation, what about holding a physical book?

Chu Ge reached out to take the book from the shelf, and there was a slight trembling in his hand. He slowly pulled it out and looked at the cover of the book.

On the cover was a portrait of Chu Tiange drawn by Qiu Wuji, with a background of mist-shrouded immortal mountains and a young man holding a sword, walking alone.

It was very exquisite and had a great texture.

Next to it were large characters “Chu Tian Wuji,” and below that was the small text “(Volume 1), Author: Chu Ge.”

Chu Ge stared at it intently, and for a long time, he didn’t turn the pages. Qiu Wuji had a feeling that this kid wanted to cry.

Chu Ge took a deep breath, slowly turned the pages, and quickly skipped the author’s introduction section, as if he was a bit embarrassed.

The person about to make a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage… is a little shy.

He went directly to the first page, only glanced at it, and Chu Ge’s face changed.

Qiu Wuji leaned over to take a look, and her face also changed.

A low growl of uncontrollable anger echoed in the bookstore, “Who the hell allowed them to change my sentences!”
