What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 317: I'll Just Copy It From Now On

Xuan Ji’s guess was spot on.

She had just turned and ran a short distance when she heard a loud “boom,” and a big hole appeared in the roof of the Sect Master’s house as junior martial uncle screamed while spiraling into the sky.

Xuan Ji shivered and continued running as fast as she could.

She couldn’t help but feel amazed. How did junior martial uncle appear behind the Sect Master so silently and effortlessly? This ability was too exaggerated. Was this the power of the Heavenly Dao?

Qiu Wuji shouted angrily at the hole in the roof, “Who gave you permission to barge into my room! No manners!”

Chu Ge, who had reappeared with a “whoosh,” smiled mischievously and said, “Xuan Ji has already run away; no need to pretend…”

Qiu Wuji ruthlessly stepped on his toe, “Who’s pretending? You’re not allowed. Not allowed!”

“Alright, alright, I won’t.”

“I wasn’t watching Ximen Qing! I was checking if there was anything significant in the underlines!”

“Right, right, you’re checking the underlines.”

Qiu Wuji glared at him for a while, but she couldn’t do anything about him. She just sighed and lowered her voice, “According to your previous idea, ‘Qiu Wuji’s disciple’ is just a cameo in the book, a character that exists only to fill a role, and everything you do here is beyond the storyline. The current period is a crucial plot point for us book characters, and there should be no involvement from you. Your arrival at this moment is ill-timed and will disrupt the plot. It will be difficult to justify any of it later.”

“Us book characters,” this phrase made Chu Ge want to laugh a bit. “So now you’re being exclusive, and I’m an outsider, right?”

Qiu Wuji snorted, “That’s right. It’s already generous that I didn’t say you were a demon from another domain. Our affairs should not be interfered with by you!”

“You guys are really something, all of you have become so independent and have your own ideas, hmm, very imaginative.”

Qiu Wuji was defiant, “You guys? Who else is more imaginative than me, treating the Heavenly Dao as an outsider?”

“My son,” Chu Ge grinned. “One is my wife, and one is my son, they’re both extraordinary.”

“Who’s your wife…” Qiu Wuji replied instinctively but her mind was still drawn towards Chu Ge’s ‘son’. “You… You saw Chu Tiange?”

“Yeah.”

“You actually saw him.” Qiu Wuji pouted. “Such an interesting scene, and I didn’t get to witness it…”

Chu Ge reminded her, “… this is the Sect Master’s account.”

“Oh,” Qiu Wuji quickly straightened up and put on a serious expression. “What did you say to him?”

“Nothing much, it’s just the ‘clone’ and ‘puppet’ concept that you locals love to imagine. While others may imagine that I am the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, Chu Tiange thinks of himself as my incarnation.”

Qiu Wuji widened her eyes. “Now that you mention it, it does seem to make some sense. He’s your manifestation and projection, so saying he’s your clone or incarnation isn’t entirely wrong…”

“Yeah, I also think it’s somewhat like that, but the nature is not exactly like creating a clone, growing up on Earth, and then being taken back, hahaha, that’s quite a wild concept.”

Qiu Wuji countered, “How do you know it’s not?”

“I tested him with two widely known Chinese cultural references. If he didn’t know one, that’s okay, but if he didn’t know both, it’s highly unlikely. Even you know about it.”

“What do you mean, even I know… which reference?”

Chu Ge said, “My lady~”

Qiu Wuji: “…?”

Chu Ge said, “… That’s the one.”

Qiu Wuji said, “… Are you sure you’re not taking advantage of me?”

“No, I used this to test. You see, even someone who’s only lived on the real Earth for a little over half a year knows about it.”

“Indeed. And it’s quite commonly heard while walking on the streets. The aunties in the neighboring square still dance to it.”

“In recent years, it’s become less common. According to his age setting before he crossed over, it was everywhere. There’s no way he wouldn’t have heard of it.”

They both closed their mouths at this point.

Glancing at each other for a while, Qiu Wuji sighed quietly, “It’s quite pitiful.”

Chu Ge felt a bit helpless, “From a different perspective, why should he feel pitiful? How many readers would want to be in his shoes?”

Qiu Wuji huffed, “That’s why the way we locals think is different from you outsiders, the stinking demons from beyond the realm!”

Chu Ge didn’t argue with her, “So, I haven’t told him the truth for now. Let him misunderstand it for a while; it won’t hurt. When he reaches a certain level of understanding in the future, he’ll find it easier to accept.”

Qiu Wuji considered and agreed, “Yes, at least let’s not complicate things in the current storyline.”

Chu Ge said, “Speaking of the storyline, I think I can let you guys develop it yourselves, and I’ll just copy it from now on. What do you think?”

Qiu Wuji was stunned for a moment, and her eyes showed a glimmer of joy. “Really? It’s not you writing it, but we’ll take the lead?”

Chu Ge affectionately pinched her nose and said, “I knew you’d be happy about it.”

Qiu Wuji bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with tenderness. “Are you trying to ask for a reward again?”

Chu Ge extended his finger and placed it near her lips. “While I really want a reward, I don’t want to turn this into some kind of exchange condition.”

“Ugh,” Qiu Wuji’s expression changed. “We do things and you copy them directly, and you act as if you’re sacrificing so much. But who’s benefiting more and who’s losing in the end?”

“In that case, I’ll write it.”

“No…”

“Then give me a kiss.”

Qiu Wuji glanced around, leaned up on her tiptoes, and lightly pecked his lips. She then quickly stepped back. “That’s it, this is your reward, don’t think you can threaten me!”

Chu Ge cleared his throat with a satisfied smile. “It’s just an experiment, remember? If things don’t go well later on, I’ll drop this idea.”

“What would be considered not working well?”

“For example, if you can’t even defeat the overseas forces.”

Qiu Wuji took a deep breath and her gaze grew resolute. “Even for the sake of our freedom, we won’t lose!”

“Master…” Xuan Ji’s trembling voice came from a distance. “Is it a good time to talk?”

Qiu Wuji instantly lost her temper and stomped her foot. “What’s not a good time? What do you think we’re doing here?”

Xuan Ji sounded somewhat helpless. “I… I didn’t mean anything…”

“What’s the matter?”

“The City Lord of Yunxiao City requests an audience.”

Qiu Wuji hesitated for a moment, and her gaze subconsciously turned to Chu Ge. Xie Jiuxiao came to visit here in the middle of the night, at a time when his own city was just attacked, and his situation was unstable. This didn’t seem right.

“Did you write this plot?”

“No, my plot was written only up to the point where Chu Tiange was battling the Nine-Headed Serpent. I didn’t even specify the outcome of the battle. Everything from that point on is what happens on its own,” Chu Ge whispered. “Let him in; there may be important matters at hand.”

In less than a moment, Xie Jiuxiao hurriedly entered the room and, upon seeing Chu Ge, he couldn’t contain his joy. “Creator God is here; that’s even better!”

Chu Ge was puzzled. “So, you’ve come to see me?”

“I originally wanted to have Sect Master Qiu convey my message, but since Creator God is here in person, it’s even better,” Xie Jiuxiao said hurriedly and explained what the one-eyed giant had told him earlier. “This matter is too important; I apologize for disturbing you, Sect Master.”

Qiu Wuji wouldn’t blame him for that. She listened intently and then asked, “How can you be sure that it’s a true command from the Heavenly Emperor and not something the one-eyed giant fabricated to make you obey?”

“I have questioned that as well. He said he would contact me again in the future, and we’ll know then,” Xie Jiuxiao replied. “For now, I pretended to agree, and I want to see what their reasoning will be.”

Chu Ge looked up, thought for a while, and smiled brightly. “Whether it’s the real Heavenly Emperor or a fake one… how could they possibly think they can get past all of my spies?”

Xie Jiuxiao chuckled. “Creator God, as long as you are aware of it. I will continue to report any developments to you.”

Chu Ge said, “In the future, you don’t need to come to the Sect to convey messages. In your own Yunxiao City, you have the altar for worshipping the Heavenly Dao, right? Meditate and call upon me, and I will respond directly when needed.”

Xie Jiuxiao bowed. “Yes.”

Qiu Wuji asked, “It’s been said that the Nine-Headed Serpent that attacked Yunxiao City was injured and fled. Did you manage to track it?”

“It took me this long to visit because I went to track it earlier.” Xie Jiuxiao whispered, “I’m ashamed that we didn’t know for so long. It turns out that south of the Divine Continent, beyond the southern vast mountains, there is another volcano with a radius of a thousand miles, devoid of human presence. In the center, it’s extremely hot, with billowing flames and clouds of fire that obscure our observation from Yunxiao City. I suspect that inside that volcano is the legendary Flameheart…”

Chu Ge slowly retreated without any signs of panic.

Qiu Wuji’s fingers creaked as she clenched them. “So, after all this, it turns out the enemy has been hiding in the hands of Yan Qianli! Chu…”

Turning her head, she realized that Chu Ge had already disappeared, running at the speed of light to save himself.

Xie Jiuxiao sighed in astonishment. “The power of the Heavenly Dao… I couldn’t even capture how he disappeared. He’s truly powerful.”
