What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

“Master, disciple has made some tea.”

Sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed in the room, Qiu Wuji opened her eyes with a mix of annoyance and amusement, watching as Chu Ge approached with a cup of tea in hand like a minion. It’s funny how they each have their own labels, she call him Creator God and he calls her Master.

Qiu Wuji couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, but her face remained icy cold. “When did I ever take on such a lazy disciple? Get lost.”

Chu Ge smiled apologetically. “But you already helped me get started in cultivation, so you’re my master, right? You were going to teach me some minor techniques too…”

“I’m not teaching you anything. Why should I?” Qiu Wuji’s face was stern. “Go to Cloud Horizon Sect and see if it’s so easy to be accepted as my disciple.”

“Yes, yes, your standards are high, and you’ve never taken on a direct disciple. At most, you just offer guidance to the disciples of the sects. But everyone has to start somewhere, right?” Chu Ge tried to reason.

“What about the ceremony for accepting disciples? Show me your sincerity,” Qiu Wuji said with a straight face.

Chu Ge cautiously replied, “Actually, I brought some stockings as a gift…”

“You’re dead!” Qiu Wuji’s facade crumbled completely, and she couldn’t hold the cross-legged pose any longer, getting up to beat Chu Ge.

Chu Ge didn’t retreat but instead handed her the tea cup. “Master, calm down. Drinking tea is good for your mind and body.”

“Shameless.” Qiu Wuji was only joking around with him in the first place, so she took the tea with a mix of irritation and entertainment. “How can this tea be good for the mind and body?”

“Well, I haven’t written about tea-making techniques in that world yet, so you haven’t tried it. Give it a taste, even though the tea is a bit rubbish,” Chu Ge said.

Qiu Wuji took a sip and nodded slightly. “Although it has a somewhat common and mundane taste, the craftsmanship is still remarkable.”

Chu Ge watched her acting so cool and composed, and couldn’t resist saying, “Master, now that you’ve tried the tea I served you, would you teach me a few things?”

Qiu Wuji calmly sipped the tea. “No, I won’t.”

Chu Ge was taken aback. “Why not?”

Qiu Wuji snorted. “It’s your own setting. Invisibility is a more advanced technique, you can’t learn it now. And the only use for trash techniques like X-ray vision is to satisfy your perverted thoughts.”

Chu Ge became anxious, “How can it be useless? It’s so convenient, you can win at cards and…oh”

Qiu Wuji “…”

Isn’t this a great way to make money? And it doesn’t seem like you need an ID. Why didn’t he mention it earlier?

Chu Ge felt embarrassed and retreated, “I don’t play cards often, so I didn’t think of that… Besides, it’s not good to cheat ordinary people out of their money, and we don’t even have a casino here…”

Qiu Wuji thought to herself that there might be one, but she didn’t want to cause trouble for now. Instead, she said, “Although there are techniques that allow you to use these shortcuts, in my opinion, you don’t need to waste your time learning them. As long as your cultivation reaches a certain level, you can achieve the same effect with simple techniques, and it just depends on your control of the technique. What you really need to learn is how to protect yourself.”

She paused and became serious, “Chu Ge, in this world, ordinary people are living in a very safe and peaceful world, but there are still hidden dangers. You may have been one of those ordinary people before, but now that you have the ability to touch those dangers, they will naturally attract you. You can no longer rely on your old experiences to deal with things. If I’m not here, you need to be able to protect yourself.”

Chu Ge stopped making jokes and nodded seriously, “Okay.”

“So, the first thing you should learn is body movement,” Qiu Wuji said with a hint of a smile, pointing her slender finger at Chu Ge’s forehead, “You know what kind of body movement I’m talking about.”

The techniques and mantras were clearly reflected in his mind. The techniques of Qiu Wuji’s sect were so simple and unadorned, yet tedious. Of course, Chu Ge knew what it was. It was the standard configuration he wrote for the female lead to protect herself and show off her immortal aura.

The technique was one of the top techniques in the Cloud Horizon Sect, called “Cloud and Water Without a Trace”. If Qiu Wuji used it, her body would merge with the clouds and mist, like autumn water, elusive and indescribable, giving her opponents a sense of vastness and emptiness that stretched for thousands of miles.

But it wasn’t a very difficult technique to learn. Qiu Wuji had developed it herself, gradually improving it as she progressed in her cultivation. This meant that even low-level disciples could learn some of the basics. In fact, the basic body movement techniques were taught on the first floor of the Scrolls Tower, and many disciples had already learned it. It was becoming one of the representative techniques of the Cloud Horizon Sect.

To be honest, Chu Ge didn’t really want to learn this technique… Because it seemed a bit effeminate with all the talk about clouds and water.

Although in reality it wasn’t, the male disciples of the Cloud Horizon Sect who had learned it still looked cool and elegant while performing it. Whether it looked effeminate or not depended on the individual’s temperament. Anyway, Chu Ge didn’t teach the male protagonist this technique, but instead gave him another set of powerful and robust movements through an unexpected encounter.

But now, it was his turn to learn this technique, and he felt a bit aggrieved.

However, it couldn’t be denied that this was truly one of the most advanced techniques he had ever written, and it was clearly arranged from low to high levels, making it the most suitable for him.

“I’ll only teach you the basics for now. You wouldn’t be able to learn the more advanced techniques even if I taught them to you, and it would just be a waste of your mental energy,” said Qiu Wuji, retracting her finger and pausing for a moment. “Although your mental energy…is quite impressive.”

“Hmm?” Chu Ge asked, “What do you mean? Do I have exceptional talent?”

“You do have some talent, but isn’t that to be expected?” Qiu Wuji calmly said, “Your mental sea of consciousness is indeed stronger than that of an ordinary person, because you must be a special ability user. This is not unexpected…Although I originally thought that our Creator God’s sea of consciousness should be vast, it turned out to be nothing more than a stinking ditch.”

Chu Ge: “……”

Qiu Wuji didn’t say it out loud, but even being just a ditch was already terrifying. Normal people wouldn’t even qualify as a small dish of hotpot dipping sauce.

His mental ability is really strange. It’s not highlighted at all in ordinary circumstances and is no different from an ordinary person…It’s a pity that their power systems are different, and she doesn’t know how to define this kind of thing. She was also afraid that her soul control is not subtle enough, and probing around will be harmful to Chu Ge, so she stopped right there.

She paused for a moment before saying, “Normally, a Qi refining cultivator wouldn’t be able to cultivate their soul, but your situation is different. You’re a bit like me now, so you should be able to cultivate your soul earlier than others. I’ll teach you the soul refining technique, which includes a method for consolidating and strengthening the soul. You can cultivate and strengthen your soul on a daily basis, and once you encounter any technique that tries to affect your mind and soul, you can firmly resist it with this method…such as that woman’s mind-reading ability, which won’t work on you.”

Chu Ge was overjoyed. “This is useful. I think their abilities are mostly focused on this aspect.”

“Oh?” Qiu Wuji cast a sidelong glance at him. “How many abilities have you seen to make such an assumption?”

“Uh, I read it in a book…There are all kinds of special abilities, not just fighting skills.”

“I think it’s quite the opposite. Abilities like super strength and agility are more common, even to the point where they aren’t considered abilities at all, but just a result of good physical aptitude. And simple manipulation of the five elements, such as electricity, is definitely more common than playing with shadows. I once searched for information on the computer, and it led me to a certain ‘Thunderbolt Boy’…”

Chu Ge “….”

She had made a logical argument.

“So don’t think too much of your ability, but don’t underestimate it either. After all, those shadow techniques are interesting even to me, and I don’t even know how to use them. Anyway, let me teach you the most basic… fighting techniques.”

“Really?”

Qiu Wuji sneered. “Those techniques were honed in life-or-death duels like the ones in the arena. Even if she doesn’t use any abilities, someone like Moon Shadow could take off your head with a single move in a fistfight. How many people in the world are like her? Where there’s fighting, there’s martial arts. Don’t think that superpowers have nothing to do with this.”

Chu Ge remained silent.

Suddenly, Qiu Wuji laughed again. “But fortunately, as the head of our sect, I practice swordsmanship. In other words, martial arts skills are our true expertise, and everything else is just a side job…”

Chu Ge tried asking, “So how do we learn martial arts, hand-to-hand combat?”

Qiu Wuji calmly replied, “I’ve given it some thought. Honing your martial arts skills requires years of practice and plenty of real-life combat experience. It’s not suitable for you, who want to write books and make money. You should try something else…”

“That makes sense… do you have any good ideas?”

“Well, how about I teach you the Golden Bell Shield? It will make you capable of enduring some hits and that’s good enough. It’ll make it easier for me to beat you up more in the future.”
