What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book Chapter 166

Published at 4th of September 2023 12:51:05 PM

In fact, Qiu Wuji herself didn't know why she had such a high popularity among readers. The number of likes on her character card was several times higher than the protagonist Chu Tiange. Her storyline wasn't that extensive… Most of it was about showing off in battles.

Occasionally, she would bump into a door or act cute. Could it be that this was what they called a “contrast moe”?

“Because you handle the management outside, and also because you have an autobiography,” Chu Ge chuckled as he held her and read the book reviews together. “You are the most authentic person in the book, as if you are someone who lives beside them in people's hearts. You're different from other characters.”

Qiu Wuji said, “What if others also write autobiographies?”

“Then it would be different. They're not cute girls like you.”

“…” Qiu Wuji thought of those obsessed fans like Panda. She couldn't help but laugh, “What kind of people are they? Obsessed with a paper person…”

“But haven't I already embraced this paper person in my arms?” Chu Ge said, and as he spoke, he lowered his head to find her lips.

Now, Qiu Wuji felt that kissing him was a familiar habit. When he kissed her, it felt as natural as holding hands in their daily lives.

But just as they kissed, she remembered that there was an eternal rival outside, pitifully stoking the fire and refining pills. Why did it feel a bit like being a captive, forcing the enemy to do hard labor, while she acted as a capricious ruler in the harem?

Qiu Wuji blushed and gently pushed him away, panting lightly. “Stop it. There's someone outside.”

“He can't see us…”

“How do you know he can't see us… Right, how do you plan to handle this?”

Chu Ge thought for a moment. “Since he is a part of the Heavenly Dao, then he will be dealt with by the Heavenly Dao… After all, he is still a character in the book, under my setting.”

He returned to the computer, opened the character outline, and added a line under the Yan Qianli section: “A lifetime of arrogance, only respects the strong. After attempting to rebel against the Heavenly Dao and being suppressed, he feels unwilling in his heart. However, until he can break free from the Heavenly Dao, he is willing to obey and follow its will.”

Qiu Wuji watched from the side, feeling somewhat complicated.

This kind of modification was peculiar… She didn't even know if this counted as a modification or if it was the original Yan Qianli.

Because according to deduction, Yan Qianli would be like this. He would be rebellious and unwilling, but he would truly be willing to listen to you until he was certain he could challenge you. It's just that by writing this line, it strengthened and turned the possible deduction into an inevitable and irrefutable outcome. It eliminated the possibility of playing tricks in a hypocritical manner and turned it into “willing to obey.”

This was the effectiveness of “logical consistency,” given that the premise was logic. But with the pen in his hand, he could find many ways to justify it. It was as if there was a thread connecting him to the clouds, held by an invisible hand. That was the will of heaven.

Just like when she, Qiu Wuji, had the inexplicable thought, “If I were to find a man, it would only be the Creator God.” Reasonable enough to make her still unsure of the extent of the impact that statement had.

In the end, they were all just characters in a book.

…………

Characters in a book are different from characters in real life.

For example, if the character Yan Qianli saw that the number of likes on Qiu Wuji's heart symbol in the book was tens of thousands of times higher than his own, would he be infuriated to the point of dying? Don't male villains have any rights? Why doesn't anyone shout, “Qian Qian~ My Qian Qian~”?

Fortunately, he couldn't see it.

In fact, he still didn't have much knowledge about this world. The most vivid memory he had was the spiritual energy that was inferior to his own fart and was called “concentrated.” It was ridiculous, such a stupid world.

Little Flame didn't want to stay here at all. It wanted to go home. Even if his memories of this stupid world were erased, it wouldn't matter. What was there worth remembering in this place? But now, whether he could go back or not was only a thought away from the Heavenly Dao.

Little Flame was quite apprehensive, hoping that by successfully refining the pill furnace, when the Heavenly Dao was pleased, it would send him back…

Little Flame diligently refined the pill, and before long, a fragrant aroma filled the air.

This foundational pill that was used during the Qi Cultivation stage had absolutely no possibility of failure for Yan Qianli. Even with his eyes closed, he could refine the most perfect quality.

As the fragrant aroma filled the room, the unscrupulous couple seemed to have also sensed it and hurriedly came out to see the pill.

Yan Qianli caught a glimpse of Qiu Wuji with a slightly flushed face and rosy lips. He had no idea what the couple had been doing inside just now. He didn't dare to ask too much and just forced a smile. “Creator God, the pill is ready…”

“This is Qiuqiu's pill.” Chu Ge gestured for Qiu Wuji to open the furnace and retrieve the pill. He then squatted down and smiled at Little Flame. “You've worked hard.”

“It's my duty, it's my duty. I'm here to serve Creator God…” Little Flame patted his chest. “I've also come to understand. Our lives are all bestowed by Creator God, so it's only right for us to go through fire and water for him!”

“You know I won't believe this submissive face of yours, so why bother?” Chu Ge sighed. “Don't worry, the previous arrogant demeanor doesn't bother me. I actually prefer to see that side of Yan Qianli, the demonic overlord that I put so much effort into shaping.”

Little Flame fell silent.

It sounds nice, speaking as if it aligns with my true thoughts. In reality, if I opened my mouth and cursed at you, you wouldn't be pleased, right?

But as the thought arose, he suddenly realized that he didn't feel like cursing anymore. He felt that the winner is the king. Even if this experience was “unfortunate,” couldn't it also be considered “the will of heaven”? He realized that he couldn't resist his destiny, at least not with his current strength.

Either he trains until he has enough power to overthrow him and then consider cursing, or he acknowledges his insufficient strength and focuses on training instead.

After a moment of silence, he finally said, “Even if it aligns with my true thoughts, I still respect Creator God. I used to be rebellious, but that was because I had never seen the heights of the heavens. Now that I have witnessed it firsthand, at least… I am convinced for now.”

Finally, these last few words revealed Yan Qianli's arrogance. By emphasizing “now” so clearly, it implied that there may come a day when he surpasses Chu Ge. At that time, things may be different!

However, this was exactly what Chu Ge wanted. He didn't want to change the fundamental character of Yan Qianli, as that would negate his past efforts. “Do you submit to me now?” he asked.

“Yes,” Little Flame crossed his arms. “If you don't kill me… and just erase my memory and throw me back into the book, I won't have any complaints.”

“Why would I erase your memory?”

Little Flame: “?”

“Since you're willing to obey fate, would you consider the tasks I give you as acting on behalf of heaven?”

Little Flame couldn't maintain his crossed-arm posture anymore and had the urge to grab Chu Ge's collar. Are you serious?

But in the end, he didn't dare to be too brazen. He turned in place twice before saying, “Acting on behalf of heaven… Heh, representing the will of heaven…”

Chu Ge smiled faintly. “That's right… From your situation, I realized that there must be more than just you and Qiu Wuji who are aware of the existence of the heavens in the world of the book. There are likely others… Qiu Wuji can't possibly search everywhere to find out who they are, and even if she becomes aware of someone, there isn't much she can do. But you're different.”

Yan Qianli stared into his eyes. “You want me to find out who these people are.”

“Yes, I don't need you to do anything to them… For example, pretend to invite rebellion against the heavens and see who reacts differently.”

“And what will you do then?”

Chu Ge shook his head and smiled. “I won't do anything. But I need to know who they are, have a clear understanding, so that this unexpected event doesn't happen again.”

Yan Qianli suddenly laughed. “I've become your lackey.”

Chu Ge corrected him, “Representing the will of heaven, conducting the celestial patrol.”

“Just a lackey.”

“So, will you do it?”

“…Yes.” Little Flame revealed his hostility again, “Why should I be the only one tormented by the heavens? Let others taste it too!”

“One moment.” Qiu Wuji placed several medicinal materials back into the pill furnace, “Before you conduct the celestial patrol, refine another batch of pills.”

Little Flame exclaimed, “You, evil lady! I submit to the heavens, not you. Who do you think you are to order me around?”

Chu Ge, “Refine them.”

Little Flame, “…Okay.”

Watching the Little Flame obediently refine pills, Qiu Wuji stood up and turned to Chu Ge with a wry smile, “Now, you're more like a tyrant, and I'm an evil concubine in a chaotic era.”

Chu Ge blinked, “You consider yourself a consort? Where's the empress?”

Qiu Wuji thundered, “You still want an empress? Who do you think you're looking for! Chu Ge, you stop right there!”

Little Flame watched helplessly as the invincible “heavenly dao” fled while Qiu Wuji chased after him with a chicken feather duster in hand, shouting, “Chu Ge, you think you can escape? Come here! I'll beat you to death, talk about the heavenly path while you go cool off in the sewer!”
