What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book Chapter 75

During the meal, Chu Ge was eating with his head down, operating his phone while sending information to Zhong Yi.

The information was simple, just “Qiu Wuji, female, age…”

“How old do you want to set your age?” Chu Ge hesitantly asked Qiu Wuji.

Qiu Wuji poked at her food with chopsticks. Now that this guy finished holding hands, he started playing with his phone during meals…

She was a bit stunned by his question. How old was she supposed to be?

Originally, it was ten thousand… No, actually, it was less than ten thousand, just over nine thousand… No, not right, nine thousand and eighteen years old…

Anyway, she had to come up with a different age at this point. Qiu Wuji suddenly became happy and said, “Let's go with eighteen.”

Chu Ge: “?”

“What's with that expression?”

“Don't pretend to be young, Master. With your aura as a former sect master, no one will believe you're a young girl… At least it should be a white-collar worker in their mid-twenties or above.”

“How old are you? Twenty-eight?”

“Yeah.”

“Then I'll be twenty-five.”

Chu Ge also smiled playfully, “Okay, three years younger seems appropriate.”

Qiu Wuji stared at him, and Chu Ge quickly looked down and sent a message, “I've sent you the information, Qiu Wuji, female, twenty-five years old, birthday on May 20th.”

520 was the birthdate set in the book, and it had even set the exact hour and minute, around 1:14 PM. Qiu Wuji hadn't thought much of it before, but now she felt that this guy must have had some ulterior motive, so she asked, “Why did you set this birthdate for me?”

Chu Ge still smiled playfully, “You're so good at searching, figure it out yourself.”

Qiu Wuji ate her meal in a huff. She specially came out and ended up being tricked into holding hands and taking pictures by him, which was really frustrating.

Zhong Yi on the other side sent a string of question marks: “Qiu Wuji, is she the female protagonist in the book?”

“Huh, you've read my book too?”

“I haven't read it, but I heard Ah Jun and the others talking about it. Something about wanting to see Qiu Wuji and being stepped on by her. They must have a screw loose in their heads.”

“…Well, she used to have a different name like Cuihua Zhaodi. I had to come up with a decent name, so I just used the name of the female protagonist from my book to deal with it.” Chu Ge asked Qiu Wuji before if she wanted to change her name, knowing that others would ask such questions. Anyway, if she didn't change it, she didn't change it. He had a plan in mind for how to handle it, and it could pass as an explanation.

Zhong Yi clearly didn't think that the female protagonist had come out of the book. He just smiled and said, “You seem quite attached to the female protagonist of your book. You even use her name to give people.”

“Well, of course. I'll send you the photo.”

There was silence from the other side for a while, and it took a long time for him to reply: “Where did you buy this Vietnamese wife? Introduce me, I want to buy one too.”

“You can sit at the kids' table if you can't handle alcohol.”

“…Forget it, I'll wait for news. What about your own matters? Get a mask and create an identity.”

“I'll talk to you tomorrow.”

“It's better to come in the evening. Most of our members are free in the evening, can't say the same for daytime, everyone has their own things to do. Are you busy tonight?”

“I am a bit… I'll see later.” Chu Ge turned his head and looked at Qiu Wuji. She had a stern expression on her face and was almost finished eating on her own…

“What are you busy with? Writing?”

“It's a major life event!” Chu Ge closed WeChat and turned his head to see Qiu Wuji staring at him with an unfriendly look.

“Who is Cuihua Zhaodi?”

“…That was just a random response to someone's nonsense. If you keep asking, I'll add it as a plot device. Qiu Wuji's original name before cultivating was Zhaodi. Ah~”

Qiu Wuji retracted her foot from stepping on his heel. “Impressive, Creator God!”

Chu Ge forced a smile. “No, no, I humbly ask for Master's guidance.”

Speaking of Creator God, Qiu Wuji remembered the real matter at hand and couldn't be bothered to play around with him. She asked, “When your spiritual sense descended, could you control it yourself?”

At that time, it truly felt terrifying. If he hadn't held back, she would have had a feeling that her thoughts were being “corrected,” an irresistible suppression. In that moment, she felt like an ant, stubbornly looking up at the heavens.

Luckily, it was him.

Chu Ge said, “I don't think that was a true spiritual sense descent. It was more like… um, the author's consciousness of revising the work? I can't describe it… It's somewhat similar to writing a sentence and then feeling that it's inappropriate, so I make changes…”

Qiu Wuji said, “In the real world, it would be considered the interference of the Heavenly Dao.”

“Perhaps it's similar, but I don't know how to actively achieve it. I can't just suppress you every time you become a variable.”

“So far, you can only interact with me? Do you ever sense other people's changes that you want to correct?”

“If others don't become variables, it naturally won't trigger.” Chu Ge thought for a moment. “But occasionally, I do have a feeling of overlooking everything, as if all beings are like ants, and every strand is within my grasp.”

Qiu Wuji uncertainly said, “So, does that mean… if you continue to cultivate, you'll be able to do it actively?”

Chu Ge replied, “I think it should be possible. There are indications of that, but I don't know how long it will take.”

The sense of shock in Qiu Wuji's heart was indescribable.

He truly… the vast Heavenly Dao, controlling the destiny of all beings! It had transcended the abstract realm of “writing” and entered the realm of consciousness interference. He himself seemed to be unaware of how terrifying this was. For a cultivator, this feeling was truly awe-inspiring. Qiu Wuji had no idea how long she would need to cultivate to touch a similar realm.

If he could actively descend, would she still be able to step on his foot? Perhaps he would end up retaliating against her.

Wait… Qiu Wuji suddenly said, “If you try to actively observe the mortal realm, focus your gaze on others more, instead of constantly looking at me. It's definitely not beneficial to have a biased perspective.”

Chu Ge listened and found it reasonable. He nodded and said, “Next time, I'll try to focus more on Chu Tiange or Yan Qianli.”

Qiu Wuji secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Is he going to spy on me specifically? What if I'm taking a bath!

Of course, Chu Ge had no idea where her thoughts were wandering. He smiled and said, “Hey, how about we buy a car? We can go for drives in the evening and not have to squeeze onto public transportation when we have things to do.”

Qiu Wuji was quite interested. “Sounds good. Zhang Qiren's car looks nice, it's spacious and can hold a lot of stuff.”

Chu Ge: “How about a bicycle…”

“Is Zhang Qiren's car very expensive?”

“If we were to compare it based on the grading of treasures, his G-Wagon is probably equivalent to Elder Zhou's Shining Light Sword. It can't compare to your Autumn Water Jade. As for me, I'm just a beginner in the Qi cultivation stage, currently using a standard long sword for sect missions.”

Qiu Wuji was curious, “Can that car ascend to the heavens? Does it dare to compete with the coveted Shining Light Sword, renowned throughout the world?”

“In terms of brand value, it may not differ too much. At least it doesn't differ too much in terms of being coveted throughout the world…” Chu Ge explained.

“What about other regular cars?”

“There are cheaper ones available. When I graduated from university, I even got my driver's license… Once the next subscription fee is paid, and the income arrives, I can consider buying a cheaper car, but it seems like I can't afford a parking space.”

Qiu Wuji pondered, “…I think you should come back to Cloud Horizon Sect with me. At least you don't need to pay spiritual stones for parking a means of transportation…”

Chu Ge shrugged, “Can we consider something with two wheels?”

Two wheels…

Qiu Wuji's gaze fell outside the restaurant. In daily life, she rarely saw bicycles like the one from that day. Instead, electric bikes, which didn't require strenuous pedaling, were commonly seen on the streets. Many of them were parked in the residential area, forming a common scene in the lives of ordinary people in this world.

She suddenly felt that it was quite good. Just like that day, sitting in his backseat, feeling the gentle and cool breeze by the riverside.

It was her first experience of early autumn in this world.

“Then let's go for an electric bike,” she said. “To save you some effort.”

Chu Ge remarked, “Isn't it to save your effort when you go grocery shopping?”

Qiu Wuji responded, “Not that… I want you to take me.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a hint of coquettishness and quickly added, “Isn't it the disciple's duty to drive for the Master?”

Chu Ge didn't answer; he just stared at her blankly.

He continued to gaze at her until Qiu Wuji felt like losing her temper. Finally, he smiled brightly and said, “Alright.”
