Chapter 12 – Cohabitation

Chu Ge’s face turned red with embarrassment. Yes, he wrote about her for this reason, maybe there would have been such a chapter in the novel.

Because originally he substituted himself with the protagonist, and wanted to imagine himself in this kind of relationship.

But now…he couldn’t think like that anymore. The protagonist’s emotions and feelings were something he couldn’t feel, and Qiu Wuji, the object of his fantasies, was standing right in front of him.

Now, if he were to write like that, the protagonist should only be him.

After thinking it over in his mind, Chu Ge naturally couldn’t say it directly, so he quickly changed his tone to a stern one. “What are you talking about? Look, I’ve written two or three hundred chapters already, and there’s no such scene, right? I’m a firm believer in pure love, it’s just that there are a few more love interests! I firmly reject this kind of smut!”

Qiu Wuji looked coldly at him, not believing a word of it. And what did he mean by “a few more love interests”? Was that something to be so righteous about? She restrained the urge to punch him in the face and said calmly, “I think I can go out for a walk. I don’t necessarily have to wait for your introduction here. If I look and listen more, I’ll naturally understand.”

Chu Ge closed the lewd scene without expression and randomly selected a war drama about resisting the Japanese invasion.

“Boom!” The bombardment of the cannon lit up Qiu Wuji’s eyes with a red glow.

Her pupils slightly shrank, “Is this…is this acting?”

“This is acting, but it is based on reality. Moreover, the weapons now are much more brutal than before. Do you think you can act as you please in this world?” Chu Ge helplessly said, “It might have been better if you came as your original self, but it’s difficult for you to blend in normally. Most likely, you can only hide and cultivate in the mountains. Now, as a detached soul, you don’t fit in anywhere, and if something goes wrong, I’m afraid you’ll be arrested as a spy. You won’t even have time to cry.”

“Spy?” Qiu Wuji understood that there were wars between different countries in this world.

She was a little worried.

As Chu Ge said, she didn’t fit in with this place. Wouldn’t that make her look like a spy? If she had come as her original self, she could have relied on her cultivation to go anywhere fearlessly. But with her current body, if a cannon fired at her, she might not be able to withstand it…

Indeed, the Heavenly Realm was still the Heavenly Realm, even without spiritual energy, its strength was still powerful.

Chu Ge looked at her sneakily, thinking he had fooled her. She didn’t know that cannons couldn’t be used casually. Even police officers didn’t usually carry guns, and if they did, they didn’t have bullets.

Well, it wasn’t a complete lie. If things got out of hand, she really wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“Ah!” A man on the TV grabbed a soldier’s body and tore it in half with a “swish,” spraying blood everywhere.

Qiu Wuji’s eyes widened, and she took a step back subconsciously, almost assuming a defensive posture.

It was one thing to rely on cultivation, but their physical body was also this strong?

This world was too scary!

Even scarier was how they could tear people apart just for a performance on stage! Coupled with the casual sex scenes they showed, was this the Heavenly Realm or the Devil Realm?

Chu Ge glanced at her expression, almost bursting out laughing, suddenly feeling she was a bit cute…

“That’s right, the boundary between Immortals and Devils is just a thought. You can consider this place as the Devil Realm.” Chu Ge told her seriously, “It’s dangerous outside. Don’t wander around with your current body. Wait until your original self is able to come here.”

Qiu Wuji wanted to say something like “What is there for me to fear?” but the words didn’t come out of her mouth. She just said, “I don’t want to watch this anymore. I want to learn about the history of this world first. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is the way to win every battle.” They can tear people apart, but couldn’t she do it too?

‘Arrogant…’ Chu Ge could see through her prideful attitude, but of course he wouldn’t expose it. He searched for “The Five Thousand Years of Chinese History” on his computer and felt that it was more suitable for Qiu Wuji’s superficial knowledge. But it seemed that all the versions required payment. Chu Ge sighed. Copyright protection was getting better and better, but why not for online novels?

He was happy to pay for it and ordered a set of books from the old book website. He also ordered a set of ‘A Brief History of The World.’ “Let’s wait for the books to arrive, it will take about two or three days, there’s nothing we can do for now.”

Qiu Wuji looked at him curiously, “So someone will deliver books to you like this? Is it like someone delivering a message with a flying sword?”

“No… there are other ways.” Chu Ge suddenly remembered something and asked, “Can you use your divine sense to scan and remember the contents of the book? Technically, you cultivate qi, and normal cultivators can’t cultivate divine sense until they reach a certain level, but you even formed your physical body with divine sense first. I don’t know how to classify you.”

“If it’s not too long, I should be able to.” Qiu Wuji asked, “Why do you ask?”

Of course, Chu Ge just wanted her to stay a little longer, leaning against the window and reading a book. What’s the point if she could just scan it with her divine sense and be done with it?

Thinking of this, Chu Ge’s gaze became a bit evasive.

It was almost one o’clock in the morning now, and they were alone in the same room.

She doesn’t want to watch the TV anymore, and the book hasn’t arrived yet. What can they do during this long night?

Qiu Wuji looked at him with a sideways glance, seemingly smiling.

Chu Ge awkwardly shrank back, reminding himself not to think about it anymore. But if she could really stay here for a while… Wouldn’t this two-bedroom apartment be just the right size?

Qiren, this is not about me getting bored easily…

But then Qi Wuji said, “It would be a shame to read history without truly understanding it.  When the books arrive, I’ll read them slowly… I see that you still have an empty room here, so I’ll stay here for a while…Well, sorry for the trouble.”

Could you repeat that????

Chu Ge was both surprised and confused. Based on his understanding of her, she shouldn’t be so proactive about living with a man. He thought he would have to coax her into it, but what happened? Was the phrase “If she wanted to find someone, it would be the Creator God” really taking effect? Or was it because he was extremely handsome?

Qi Wuji’s eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. Finally, there was a time when he couldn’t guess her thoughts.

This time, she could guess what he was thinking… he was thinking about how to persuade her into living with him, right?

What’s there to persuade? What’s wrong with living here? They’ll just be next-door neighbors. What’s the big difference between this and living in an inn next door? 

Besides, she was not afraid of Chu Ge. He was not the one who could tear people in half. If he dared to touch her, she’ll just beat him up.

Qiu Wuji said leisurely, “What’s with that expression? A cultivator has no distinction between men and women. If it weren’t for a sleazy creator god secretly manipulating things, I, Qiu Wuji, would have been accompanied by the gentle wind and bright moon. Now that we’re just living next door and focusing on our own futures, why bother to worry about it?”

After speaking, she walked straight into the second bedroom.

Chu Ge shouted from behind, “The bedding hasn’t been laid out there yet.”

But he saw Qi Wuji sitting cross-legged on the bed, in a state of meditation, without saying another word.

Chu Ge went back to his own room in a daze, washed up briefly, and then threw himself onto the bed.

His mind was filled with the image of the beautiful woman living next door… The kind of restlessness in his heart was indescribable.

Well, she’s the gentle wind and bright moon, and I’m just a sleazy pervert.

Speaking of which, it didn’t take long before he couldn’t guess her thoughts anymore. Was it because his writing skills were insufficient and his conception wasn’t complete enough, or was it because the heart of a woman was like the bottom of the sea, and a male author could never fully understand it?

Chu Ge tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep again.

This was the first time in Chu Ge’s life that he had “cohabited” with a woman, and this woman was also the woman of his fantasies.
