What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 10: How Destiny Works

Qiu Wuji realized that there was someone who understood her better than she understood herself, and it wasn’t entirely without its benefits.

In theory, this someone could be called a soulmate… Unfortunately, this person was not a true soulmate, and the reason he understood her was too frustrating.

But it could not be denied that the feeling of loneliness in this unfamiliar place was greatly diluted because there was a familiar person around… the most familiar stranger.

She sighed softly and said in a low voice, “Since I’m here, of course I have to explore.”

Chu Ge smiled, “Let’s go. Before I accompany you to experience these things, you have to accompany me to eat first.”

To be honest, although the gap in strength between Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji was huge, and he was always at risk of being beaten or even stabbed, he had a relatively high mentality.

After all, she was a woman he ‘created.’

In his mind, the sense of mission to bring this woman’s understanding of the world was quite strong, and he felt it was his responsibility.

Under this mentality, when he looked at Qiu Wuji, there wasn’t much fear caused by the difference in strength, but rather a bit of enthusiasm as a father or a teacher.

What kind of experience would it be to bring a woman from a book into the modern world?

He didn’t know… but he was sure it would be very interesting.

It was like a real-life version of playing with a character and helping her grow.

Chu Ge casually went to a noodle shop on the street and ordered a bowl of beef noodles. He turned to Qiu Wuji and asked, “Are you going to eat?”

Qiu Wuji hesitated for a moment and nodded.

“Two bowls, both with egg.”

Chu Ge sat down with Qiu Wuji at a table and asked strangely, “Do you really need to eat? You’ve been fasting for so many years.”

Qiu Wuji’s current state was beyond Chu Ge’s expectations. According to his prediction, she should be a wandering soul, but now she had a physical body, even emitting fragrance, as if she had forcibly condensed a flesh and blood body. However, the strength was much weaker than what was described in the book.

Now she even wanted to eat.

Qiu Wuji said, “This world is a bit strange. Pure spiritual bodies are difficult to maintain. I forcibly solidified a body. It’s not my original body, nor is it made from any precious materials. It was originally very weak. Now, the strongest I can be is in the Qi Refining period and I can only do small spells.”

Chu Ge nodded. This was within his setting.

Qiu Wuji’s world was originally just a “human world,” where everyone was still pursuing ascension to the higher realms, and their strength was not very high. It was roughly similar to the Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan series, far from being able to destroy the heavens and the earth. Although Qiu Wuji was the best in the world, once she crossed into other worlds and split her soul, it was impossible to maintain much strength. She was not one of those big shots who descended from the heavens in various realms.

Even if she had her original strength, it would be difficult to feel superior in this world – even mortals can go to the moon, but she cannot.

As he thought about this, Qiu Wuji, who was supposed to be like a female tyrant, now looked like a stray cat, with a hint of confusion in her eyes and a forced calm demeanor… tsk.

Qiu Wuji didn’t know what Chu Ge was thinking. She looked around warily, and the other diners in the restaurant were giving her strange looks, so she lowered her voice and asked, “You said no one cares about my attire? What about now?”

Chu Ge snapped out of his thoughts and pointed at his own short-sleeved t-shirt, then at Qiu Wuji’s thick robes. “It’s summer now. Do you think everyone can withstand any temperature?”

Qiu Wuji: “…”

“I told you not to wear the robes, didn’t I? You didn’t listen to the words of your Creator God…”

Qiu Wuji gritted her teeth. “Shut up!”

At this moment, the waiter brought over their noodles, giving Qiu Wuji a strange look with a tinge of regret in his eyes. Such a pretty girl, but too bad she’s not mentally stable…

Chu Ge coughed. “It’s a cosplay thing, you know.”

The waiter showed an expression of “I got it” and shook his head as he left.

Before Qiu Wuji could ask, Chu Ge lowered his head to eat the noodles. “By the way, it’s been a long time since you’ve properly enjoyed a normal meal, hasn’t it?”

One sentence broke Qiu Wuji’s defense. She gritted her teeth and ate the noodles, secretly thinking that the priority was to find a way to change her thinking a bit, so that this guy wouldn’t embarrass her all the time like this.

But…

These noodles were really delicious.

How could there be such delicious food in the mortal world? Shouldn’t it be the work of the immortals?

Hmm, which immortal would make beef noodles?

Qiu Wuji thought dazedly, and asked, “In our world, there is a shortage of material goods, and the people don’t know the taste of meat and don’t eat oily food all year round. You obviously have good food here, why do you write like that?”

Chu Ge replied, “That’s true. In ancient times of this world, it was like that too. It’s just that now it’s a prosperous era, the greatest prosperous era in history, one that’s worth giving up even an immortal realm for.”

Qiu Wuji fell silent, not sure what she was thinking.

Chu Ge said lightly, “Actually, I don’t want you to treat your whole world as false. You should believe that it’s real, and then it will be real.”

Qiu Wuji stared at him with narrowed eyes and asked, “Why don’t you suppress my ambitions? Wouldn’t that be more advantageous for you? Why do you advise me instead?”

Chu Ge ate his noodles and said vaguely, “Because then you’ll not be Qiu Wuji.”

Qiu Wuji stared at him for a while, then lowered her head to eat noodles, saying nothing more.

Chu Ge finished his noodles and wiped his mouth contentedly. “Although I’d like to show you more of the outside world, unfortunately, we have to go home after eating.”

Qiu Wuji asked, “Why?”

“I haven’t updated my novel in a day, and I haven’t even started studying for the exam yet,” Chu Ge scanned the code to pay, sighed and said, “Do you think I write novels just to fantasize about you…First and foremost, it’s to make a living.”

Qiu Wuji looked at his payment method in confusion, wanting to say something but hesitating. Even in the cultivation world, one can’t just transfer spirit stones like this…

Confused about the payment method, Qiu Wuji forgot to argue with him about the profound question of “Why do you write about me to earn money?” It wasn’t until she returned to Chu Ge’s rental house that she remembered he used the term “go home” earlier, and she didn’t even object to it.

She used to think that Chu Ge was the one with a confused mind, but now it seems that it’s actually her.

How can she have the style of dominating a world if she behaved like this?

But the biggest problem is that she seems to really have to go home with him, as he was the only acquaintance she had. Although she could go out and rob the rich people to get through the initial period, it was clear that following Chu Ge would be more convenient for quickly getting to know the world.

Especially… he doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions.

“Because then you’ll not be Qiu Wuji,” Chu Ge’s words from before passed through her mind. When he said those words, she knew that he had no lewd intentions.

…..

“Here…” Chu Ge was sitting in front of the computer, pointing to a file on the screen, “is the next plot. You heard that there might be an Azure Dragon’s shed scales in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave in the southwest, which is beneficial for your Four Symbols Array, so you led your group there. You encountered the Poison Hand Devil Lord in the depths of the snake cave and fought in the Fallen Dragon Pool. Originally, you had the upper hand, but he used a treacherous magic weapon to ambush you and you fell into the pool, poisoned by strange snake venom.”

Qiu Wuji said with a straight face, “How could Poison Hand Devil Lord be my opponent?”

“That’s right, that’s the attitude.”

“…”

“The disciples from your sect are also on the outer layers of the cave. Chu Tiange… Well, of course, the protagonist’s luck is different from others. He accidentally obtained a snake spirit fruit, which happens to be the antidote for you.”

“Antidote?” Qiu Wuji became vigilant and asked. “Are you going to write some cheesy story about me being drugged?”

“Oh my god, there isn’t such a story in your world, right? How do you know?”

Qiu Wuji angrily said, “Get to the point!”

“You know it’s a cheesy story. Why would I write that? If I wrote that, I’d be doomed. It’s just that Chu Tiange did a good deed, and that caught your attention. My writing style is about setting up each step. The key to the plot is the protagonist’s adventure, and he gains a lot himself. Helping you is just a side effect. After all, the gap between him and you is too big, and you’re way ahead of him.”

Qiu Wuji gritted her teeth and said, “You had to bring in a romantic relationship when it wasn’t necessary. Is that how you make money?”

“Do you think anyone can write romance well? It’s a skill! Okay, stop looking at me like that. I already said I would change the plotline… Wait a minute… “Chu Ge’s expression slowly became strange. “You’ve already read the plot, so Poison Hand Devil Lord shouldn’t be able to harm you… But if I still write it this way, would you still be affected?”

Qiu Wuji was also taken aback, and her expression became strange too.

If she knew the future and wanted to change the plot, would it still continue in the same direction?

Was destiny inescapable?

Chu Ge hesitated and asked, “Should we try not to change it? Can you accept being poisoned? It might be a bit uncomfortable.”

“Injury and poisoning are nothing…” Qiu Wuji also hesitated. “But no more accidental contact.”

“Of course, I’ll write it so that you find the antidote yourself from the bottom of the pond. Because since yesterday, Chu Tiange and you have had nothing to do with each other.” Chu Ge said decisively.

Qiu Wuji pursed her lips and asked tentatively, “You didn’t seem willing to change the story before.”

Chu Ge was deleting scenes while making revisions and casually replied, “This is your life, and no one has the right to control it, not me, not the heavens. This test is just to see… how destiny works.”
