What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book Chapter 73

Published at 12th of June 2023 05:59:46 AM

Chu Ge rushed back to his rental house and immediately got to work.

Why wait? He should quickly release an update and bring Qiu Wuji over. What else was he waiting for?

“The update assistant reminds you that Brother Chu has released the third chapter today.” Someone casually reminded in the group chat, but no one paid much attention. Those who were reading continued reading, and those who were chatting continued chatting.

Nowadays, it was common for Chu Ge to release three chapters at once. Each chapter had over 3,000 words, so with three updates, it reached a total of 10,000 words. It was almost the daily standard, much better than those weak chapters consisting of two short chapters totaling just over 2,000 words…

However, Chu Ge's third update today seemed a bit early, considering it was only mid-afternoon.

“Will Brother Chu release a fourth update today?” someone suddenly asked.

“You're thinking too much… He's someone who won't release extra chapters even in the Golden Alliance. Steady as a rock.”

“Is the big shot from the Golden Alliance even in the group? I've never seen him say a word.”

“Somebody dug up the information. He used to be a writer and had several successful books. The new book was banned, and the author disappeared. Then suddenly, he started donating to many books… I guess he went back home to inherit a multimillion-dollar fortune and came back to encourage other writers with donations.”

“Oh, the holy light!”

Chu Ge glanced at the group chat and felt an indescribable sense of strangeness.

While he mentioned Lin Wuyang was radiating holy light, others thought it was Zhang Qiren who was emitting the holy light. However, behind the scenes, these two were actually like light and shadow, existing in relative opposition.

By the way, there were quite a few new readers who came because of Zhang Qiren's promotion. The group chat was filled with two thousand people, so Chu Ge had to organize a super annual meeting and expand the group to three thousand.

While uploading chapters, Chu Ge glanced at the data. The average subscriptions had reached over nine thousand, and the ten thousand subscription badge was within reach.

However, there was no sense of excitement at all. He didn't know why… Perhaps it was because his pursuit was no longer about this. If he had any expectations now, it was to confirm his previous conjecture. The more people read the book, the higher the sense of existence in the world, complementing each other.

“Oh, I don't care if the big shot from the Golden Alliance is in the group or not. What I care about is why our Sect Master Qiu hasn't shown up these past few days. Sob, sob, sob, I want Qiu Qiu…”

I want Qiu Qiu too.

Chu Ge closed the group chat and continued writing.

During the alliance meeting, Qiu Wuji used thunderous means, she suppressed those who refused to submit, and together with Lord Xie and others, she formed an alliance to discuss how to deal with the Fire Prison Sect.

However, there were traitors within the alliance who pretended to support it but actually wanted to stab them in the back. According to the plot, Qiu Wuji was unaware of the mole in the alliance, but she remained wary of all the attendees. After a series of events, Qiu Wuji finally discovered the mole and devised a plan, playing a trick which led the mole to deliver false information to Yan Qianli.

However, Qiu Wuji, who had already read the plotline, knew more than anyone else. The mole had already found out in advance. If she didn't want to follow the plot, she could just kill the mole with a single sword, or start having the mole deliver false information earlier. Would that change the plot as well?

Chu Ge systematically pushed the plot forward, his thoughts already flying into the world of the book.

What would she do?

Qiu Wuji didn't do anything.

Previously, just by speaking out of line in front of everyone and “breaking character,” it had caused the Heavenly Dao to attempt correction. If she were to change the established trajectory again, Qiu Wuji doubted that it would really have an impact on Chu Ge—she had doubted this before as well. If the plot in the book became chaotic, the book might go off track at best, or at worst, Chu Ge himself might go off track.

The specific form was unknown for now, but Qiu Wuji didn't dare to try again.

There was a faint thought she didn't want to entertain: her liberation from the Heavenly Dao, becoming an independent individual, should fundamentally be in conflict with Chu Ge, a variable under the Heavenly Dao that should be eliminated.

In that sense, they were… enemies?

Chu Ge had been helping her all along, and for her to be at odds with him…

Thinking about it this way felt profound, and it made Qiu Wuji's emotions complicated.

She looked at Lu Yuanzhang, the Sect Master of the Celestial Cloud Sect, in front of her, held back for a long time, and finally spoke the predetermined lines: “Sect Master Lu, you've worked hard. Please pay more attention to the actions of the Fire Prison Sect in the Annihilation Heavenly Realm… The Fire Prison Sect is powerful and has no benefits for anyone.”

Lu Yuanzhang readily agreed, “Sect Master Qiu, rest assured, this is not just the matter of the Cloud Horizon Sect, but the matter of the righteous path in the world!”

Qiu Wuji smiled flawlessly, “Qiu Wuji knows of Master Lu's righteousness.”

In her heart, she thought, I don't want to deal with these people anymore. Let's just skip this part quickly. I want to go into seclusion, damn it!

Qiu Wuji also knew that whether she skipped it or not made no difference. Even if Chu Ge glossed over it with a single stroke, she still had to experience these things. Even though he wrote seven days later, she actually had to go through a full seven days herself. He just shortened the waiting time on his end, but she couldn't shorten it.

Unfair. Why can't I shorten the time a bit?

Hmm… Actually, the original body can handle it here while the soul goes out to play…

However, just returning not long ago, her spiritual consciousness was still weary and not sufficient to continue crossing boundaries. But it's not necessarily something that requires time to recover; there are other ways, right? We, the Cloud Horizon Sect, might not have a way, but others do.

“Ah, Sect Master Lu, please wait. I have a request.”

Lu Yuanzhang, who was about to leave, curiously asked, “What is it?”

Qiu Wuji took out a lotus petal. “I heard that Sect Master Lu has the Origin Elixir, which can quickly restore spiritual exhaustion. Although our Sect has something similar, we are not particularly good at it, and the effect is not great. This is a petal from the Dark Water Blue Lotus, quite marvelous and beneficial for Master Lu's cultivation. How about exchanging a bottle of Origin Elixir for this?”

“No problem, it's a small matter.” Lu Yuanzhang chuckled, “What do you mean one bottle? I have three bottles on me, so I'll give them all to Sect Master Qiu. But please note, if you take this medicine continuously, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.”

“Thank you, Sect Master Lu.” Qiu Wuji calmly accepted three white jade bottles, watched Lu Yuanzhang leave until he disappeared into the sky, and then suddenly smiled: “To gain my trust, he gave me two extra bottles. What a clever mole!”

Outside, Chu Ge was fervently writing, working harder to release more chapters, but who would have known that there would be such details unfolding beyond the plot?

“Reminder from the update assistant: Chu Ge has updated the fourth chapter.”

“What the hell?” The group exploded, “What expired aphrodisiac did Chu Ge take today to be so vigorous?”

“It's not even evening yet. Will there be a fifth chapter today?”

“Could this be because of the extra updates because of the reward by Golden Alliance?”

Chu Ge took a short break, rubbed his head, and glanced at the time—it was only a little past five. He thought he could write a little more, finish half a chapter after dinner, and actually release five chapters today. He was determined to wrap up this plotline with Qiu Wuji as soon as possible.

Just as he was thinking about this, a frustrated voice came from behind, “Who gave you permission to eat the durian?”

Chu Ge rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was hallucinating.

He turned his head stiffly and saw Qiu Wuji standing behind him, dressed in a shirt and jeans, with her hands on her hips and a murderous look in her eyes. “Are you the Master, or am I the Master? Are you allowed to make decisions about training methods on your own? How do you want to be punished?”

Chu Ge blinked his eyes, “I think it should be a combination of dynamic training and punishment, like using the Master's foot to step on the spot where the durian rolled before…”

Qiu Wuji lifted him up from the chair in one swift motion, glaring at him.

Chu Ge looked at her gently and whispered, “You're amazing.”

Qiu Wuji ears turned imperceptibly red. She wanted to say that those words were disgusting, but as the words reached her lips, they turned into, “You're full of energy for updating, huh? I'll scold you after you finish writing.”

“How could writing be more important than my Master? Even if the King of Heaven himself comes, there won't be any updates tonight!”
