NOVEL NEXT Chapter 296: Such A Reward
In the real world, Qiu Wuji was working in her studio when suddenly her face turned slightly red. She lowered her head, picked up her bag, and made a gesture as if to leave, saying, “Mengmeng, I’m going back now…”
Zhu Mengmeng replied, “I’m in charge of HR here, and with you skipping work every few days, your salary for this month will be deducted in full!”
“Hmm? it’s not a few days, it’s already been a whole month…”
“Really? Is it because you’ve been so engrossed in your painting that you lost track of time? Just two or three days ago, the two of you left in the middle of the day, and nobody knew what you were up to.”
Qiu Wuji seemed a bit absent-minded. Oh right, this time she had stolen some time away.
Over there, it had been “a month later,” but here it had only been two or three days. Over there, it was spring in full bloom, while here it was still winter, and December was just a few days away.
It was like… living a dream as an immortal couple, immersed in the world of painting and calligraphy.
If not for her strong soul, she might have gone crazy. But now, she only felt a sense of nostalgia. Those days over there were truly wonderful, and she didn’t want them to end.
Even if Chu Ge didn’t return, there wouldn’t be much leisure time left for everyone. The plot had already progressed to the conflict stage in this volume… It was all that troublesome Creator God’s fault, why not just write about Qiu Wuji teaching her disciple in the mountains?
“Eh?” Zhu Mengmeng was dumbfounded. “How come you’re daydreaming again? Wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth.”
Qiu Wuji subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth; was I drooling?
Then she realized and pounced, “You dared to deceive me, Mengmeng…”
“Ahahaha, you’re such a nympho. Clearly, you’re thinking about your boyfriend.”
“No, no, I was thinking about you, Mengmeng, give me a kiss~”
Two mature office ladies were causing a ruckus in the office. Fortunately, there was no one around to witness the charming scene.
Chu Ge stretched lazily in front of his computer, and his dazed eyes gradually regained their clarity.
“Qiuqiu~ where are you…”
With a swift “whoosh,” Qiu Wuji, in disheveled clothes, appeared beside him. Her face was flushed as she said, “I’m here…”
Teleportation flash, returning in a rush… Qiu Wuji couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed herself.
Chu Ge looked at her clothes with a strange face. Then, he sniffed the air and chuckled, “Does it feel better to kiss Mengmeng than to kiss me?”
Qiu Wuji was relieved that he didn’t jump to conclusions or get jealous. This was trust!
Thinking that she herself was an old, long-aged vinegar jar, she felt a bit awkward at the moment but took the initiative in a coquettish tone, “Well… do you want to try kissing her yourself?”
“I only want to kiss you.” Chu Ge pulled her onto his lap and deeply inhaled her scent. “You’re so charming…”
Qiu Wuji’s heart melted. Chu Ge really didn’t take other women seriously at all, his heart was filled with her. Maybe because there were two of her? One who charmed him to the brink of despair over there, and one who was obedient and sweet here.
Actually, this Qiuqiu wasn’t originally so obedient, but now she deliberately split herself into two types.
The more obedient one.
She curled up in Chu Ge’s arms like a little kitten, her fingers drawing circles on his chest and said, “I told you, if you behave well these days, you’ll be rewarded… why are you so impatient…”
Chu Ge was about to explode, “How will you reward me?”
Qiu Wuji bit her lower lip, stole a glance at him, and then lowered her eyelashes, “Is it the other Qiuqiu that you find more tempting?”
Chu Ge replied sternly, “How could that be? They’re all the same, both are my best Qiuqiu!”
“Hehe.” Qiu Wuji knew these words didn’t match his true feelings, but this time, she didn’t feel jealous of herself. After all, it was the time for reward!
She said in a flirtatious tone, “Then… close your eyes.”
Chu Ge closed his eyes.
Actually, whether his eyes were open or closed didn’t make much difference. He could already feel the change in the fabric of the clothes he was touching. The modern office lady attire had transformed into ancient silk, and he knew in his heart that Qiuqiu had intentionally changed into the costume from that world.
She was becoming more and more skilled at this. In the past, he had to coax her into cosplaying as the Sect Master reluctantly, but now she voluntarily changed into various outfits to add some romantic flair… Maybe it wasn’t really about the ambiance; it was her true self?
“You can open your eyes now…” Qiu Wuji kissed his cheek softly, speaking in a gentle tone.
Chu Ge opened his eyes and saw the graceful, ancient-dressed big sister from these past few days, with flowing sleeves and a fresh literary look.
The biggest difference from the world in the book was that her clothing was slightly disheveled at the moment. Looking from top to bottom, he could even see a glimpse of her bellyband.
A bellyband…
A white one, like a light cloud covering the mountaintop, shrouded in mist, with depths concealed beneath the clouds.
Chu Ge felt like adrenaline was surging through his veins.
Qiu Wuji bit her lip, her voice filled with allure, “Do you like it? Have you been wanting to uncover it and take a peek?”
Chu Ge couldn’t hold back any longer. He stood up abruptly, picked up Qiu Wuji horizontally, and leaped onto the bed. “I’ve been wanting to do more than just that…”
“Hey hey… you scoundrel…” Qiu Wuji weakly struggled, teasing him, and yielding at the same time. Her voice was seductive, “Really, you’re like a bull… You little pervert~”
Chu Ge wasn’t in the mood for conversation anymore. He unveiled the light clouds on the mountaintop, revealing the beautiful scenery beneath, as if he could see delicate plum blossoms blooming on a snowy mountain, as though a deity had brushed vermilion on a blank scroll.
The disciples of the Cloud Horizon Sect said that this was the beauty favored by the heavens.
The folds of her long skirt rolled upwards like a thousand piles of snow.
“Little pervert, you even rolled it up directly…”
“Mmm…”
“Mmm, you… don’t be in such a hurry…”
Chu Ge was panting, his lips raining kisses on Qiu Wuji’s forehead, cheeks, and nose. “Master, you’ve already bewitched me into a fool… How can I not be impatient…”
Qiu Wuji ran her fingers through his hair and along his spine, her gaze tender. Her heart resonated: I feel the same way.
Even now, the closer we get, the lonelier my other self becomes…
In the world of the book, Qiu Wuji lay sprawled on an embroidery couch that she never slept in, curled up like a ball, trying hard to feel the sensations from another dimension. She mumbled to herself, “You little troublemaker… You’re really causing trouble…”
“You little troublemaker… You’re really causing trouble…” The real-world Qiu Wuji said the same thing.
The next moment, both worlds simultaneously emitted satisfied moans.
This little rascal, he may not be good at many things, but he’s become quite proficient in cultivating his ‘Golden Bell Shield’…
A major battle had raged on from morning until noon. Both of them lay there with empty stomachs, but neither had any intention of moving.
Ancient silk clothing was scattered everywhere, like snow piles scattered in all directions. The two of them embraced each other amidst the disarrayed ‘snow,’ their bodies slightly sweaty, and their breathing gentle.
Qiu Wuji snuggled in Chu Ge’s arm, radiating a satisfied glow all over her body. Her delicate fingers traced circles on his chest. “Is this reward good?”
Chu Ge laughed, “I think I’ve been taken advantage of by you. Who is really rewarding whom?”
“Humph, don’t be like that; there won’t be a next time.”
“Yes, yes.” Chu Ge suddenly remembered a serious problem, “Hey, I suddenly thought of something. In the world of the book, I’m just a soul projection. Even if you’re willing, I can’t do anything, can I?”
Qiu Wuji’s eyes turned into crescents as she smiled, “You just realized that? Even if you can simulate bodily reactions, it’s not the same as actual sensations. Besides, you probably don’t have that kind of feeling.”
Chu Ge’s face darkened, “So what should we do?”
Qiu Wuji hummed, “Of course, we’ll have to wait until we meet in person. Right now…” She paused and spoke softly, “We may appear to be in a splendid paradise, but it’s still a castle in the air, Chu Ge.”
Chu Ge tightened his hold on her arm and whispered, “Don’t overthink it. Haven’t I been gaining more control over the world? Look.”
With that, he turned his other hand over, and a brilliant glowing snow lotus appeared in his palm.
“See, this is the Thousand-Year Heavenly Snow Lotus from the Cloud Horizon Sect. It’s considered a high-grade medicinal herb. In the past, it couldn’t even be taken out, but now it can. Once the Little Flame refines it into a pill, my body should be able to break through to the Golden Core stage soon, and my spiritual power will be on par with a Nascent Soul… This is something that can snowball. As I gain more control, my cultivation will only accelerate. Be it the real and illusory, space and time, and not even mentioning superpowers, just following the Dao of the Immortals, I’ll eventually be able to connect both worlds as if they were in the palm of my hand.”
Qiu Wuji looked at his side profile with gleaming eyes but didn’t say a word.
She loved his confident appearance the most. Creator God should be like this and shouldn’t always act like a little rascal.
Speaking of which, supernatural powers are not systematic; it’s challenging to delve deep into them. However, cultivation is based on a clear system.
It’s nothing more than changes between the two worlds, the real and illusory, time and space. As long as one masters various principles, they can control the universe from this perspective. And he was the most terrifying freak in history; in just over half a year, he had already entered the Golden Core stage.
