What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chu Ge looked at the floor tragically, with shoe marks on his face.

The floor wasn’t damaged… but there was a shallow friction mark left behind. The Golden Bell Shield was terrifying!

Fortunately, this was in the room, and the previous owner had laid bamboo flooring. If it was in the living room or bathroom with tiles, what would happen if he collided with them?

Chu Ge dared not think about it.

Seeing Qiu Wuji’s chest heaving with anger, Chu Ge squirmed and quietly slipped away from her side.

Staying there would only result in more punches. It would be better to let her calm down while he went out to eat something hot. He was so hungry…

Today, he had really offended Qiu Wuji… but it didn’t seem like a loss.

He saw everything…

The snow on the mountain was so white, and the mountain itself was so vast.

Hmm… She was really furious this time. He needed to find a way to appease her.

He took out his phone and checked the pinned book review. Qiu Wuji had helped him arrange for some time off.

What a great wife she was.

Hmm… Since she took time off, shouldn’t he take her out today to make up for it? Accompany her and make amends?

Meanwhile, Qiu Wuji was sulking inside the room, becoming angrier every time she looked at the time off she had arranged for him.

If she had known he would finish so quickly, why did she bother arranging time off for him? She almost exposed the fact that a female fan is living with him for no reason.

Wait, I’m not a fangirl, and I’m not living with him!

Qiu Wuji almost flipped the table.

Not only was she seen for no reason, but she also didn’t know how much he saw. And then what? She can’t kill him, she can’t gouge out his eyes, and she didn’t want to run away from home. So what should she do?

Qiu Wuji, feeling frustrated, took out her phone and sought advice from a new friend. “Meng Meng, I need to ask you something… I was seen by someone, what should I do?”

“?” A question mark came back from the other side. “How were you seen? Your face looks normal to me. I like looking at it too.”

“No, it’s that kind of…”

“Your body?”

“Yeah…”

“Beat him up. If you can’t beat him, do you want me to send a mob of people to help you?”

“I already beat him up, but I can’t kill him. What should I do?”

“If you can beat him, it’s easy. Just drag him to the police station.”

“…That won’t work.”

Zhu Mengmeng instantly understood. “Could it be your boss?”

“…Yeah, it is.”

“Workplace harassment!” Zhu Mengmeng exclaimed indignantly. “You should quit and wait for the New Year! Qiu Qiu, listen to me, come sell tea with me. Your temperament is perfect for it. Put on some ancient costumes, those costume actors can’t compare to your beauty.”

Qiu Wuji replied, “…I can’t quit.”

“?” Zhu Mengmeng understood again. “Oh, does he have something on you?”

Qiu Wuji thought for a moment. “I don’t think so.”

Zhu Mengmeng finally understood. “You like him.”

Qiu Wuji said, “?”

Zhu Mengmeng said, “How old is your boss? Is he married? If he’s married, I can help you come up with a plan to counterattack…”

“Stop, stop, stop, where is this going?”

“So, is he married?”

“…No.”

“Oh my god, he’s a rich eligible bachelor!” Zhu Mengmeng was frustrated. “In that case, just go for it. Being a boss lady is better than being some assistant or secretary, right?”

Qiu Wuji was dumbfounded. “No, Meng Meng, you’ve misunderstood…”

“What did I misunderstand? It’s what you said. You were seen, but you won’t quit or report it, and you’re asking what to do. Well, I’m asking you, what should you do? He’s young, rich, and not married. Don’t let this opportunity slip away.”

“…He’s not wealthy!”

“Oh, then it’s fine,” Zhu Mengmeng said. “A small boss without money, but you still stick around after he sees you. Isn’t that what you call liking someone?”

“I! Do! Not! Like! Him!”

“Okay, okay. Since you don’t like him, then quit your job and come sell tea with me. What future does a small boss without money have by starting their own business…”

Qiu Wuji felt like they were having a conversation from different worlds. “How can you have this kind of attitude towards this situation…”

“What other attitude should we have? When you’re with a man, why wouldn’t you consider these things? By the way, is he handsome? If he’s too ugly, then forget it.”

Qiu Wuji realized that there was no point in continuing the conversation. “Never mind, I won’t ask you anymore.”

Zhu Mengmeng said, “I’m feeling down too. Can you teach me what to do?”

“What?”

“My lover, my husband, the father of my child…”

“What happened to him?”

“They all met today….”

Qiu Wuji said, “???”

We really are from different worlds.

“Wuwuwu Qiu Qiu, what should I do…” Zhu Mengmeng sent a crying emoji.

Qiu Wuji expressionlessly closed the WeChat conversation. Let it go.

Carefully peering out from the door, Chu Ge’s head appeared. “Um…”

Qiu Wuji’s face turned cold. “Get lost. I don’t want to talk to a pervert like you. One more word and I’ll beat you to death!”

“I really didn’t mean to. Master also knows that I was involuntarily entranced, and I could only observe…”

Qiu Wuji’s eyebrows furrowed, about to explode, but Chu Ge hurriedly continued, “Moreover, I didn’t see anything at all. Master knows that I can only have vague observations. Besides, the clouds and mist on Cloud Horizon mountain are elusive. What could I possibly see…”

You’re deceiving me! You even transformed into a phantom and pounced on me! Qiu Wuji withheld the retort in her heart. Upon second thought, it seemed like Chu Ge’s explanation could be considered a way out. If he didn’t see anything, then there wouldn’t be any consequences. What benefit would there be in forcibly exposing him, when he actually did see?

Thinking this through, Qiu Wuji forcefully suppressed her anger and said coldly, “I hit you to teach you a lesson. Such voyeuristic behavior is unacceptable! If you dare to attempt peeping on me again, I’ll gouge your eyes out!”

“Yes, yes, I got it.” Chu Ge coughed dryly a couple of times, finally mustering a bit of courage and humbly asking, “Master, could you please enlighten me on what this situation is?”

Qiu Wuji paused, pondering for a moment.

This guy completely misunderstood the situation. He had forgotten the significance of the matter itself. He could clearly see people in the other world now, even making a drooling face.

“The Heavenly Dao” was becoming more and more tangible.

But honestly, Qiu Wuji didn’t know what this situation meant. All she could ascertain was the level of his cultivation: “Your Golden Bell Shield has reached a minor achievement, and at the same time, you’ve reached the latter stage of the Qi Refining Period. Based on your current situation, you should already be preparing for the Foundation Establishment. I don’t know if the interaction between the two worlds will become more pronounced after you truly establish your foundation.”

“Huh? I’m almost at Foundation Establishment?” Chu Ge had no idea about the corresponding manifestations of each level in his cultivation. He had always thought of himself as a beginner. “I’ve only been practicing for less than two months, right?”

Qiu Wuji said with a stern face, “You’re still far from it. The later stage of the Qi Refining Period is not the same as perfection. Not to mention the significant gap between the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers. Even if you reach perfection, you wrote so much about being at the half-step perfection peak, don’t you have any idea?”

“…I’ve already downplayed that concept.”

“Even so, it will still take a long time for you to push your cultivation to the stage of Qi Refining Perfection. When I say you should prepare, it’s because we don’t know where to find the materials for pill refinement in this world… We need to prepare in advance,” Qiu Wuji explained. “Speaking of which, I can also visit the traditional medicine shops in your area when I have the time. Who knows, there might be something…”

“Emmmm… Isn’t that even more difficult than winning the lottery?”

Qiu Wuji sighed, “We still have to give it a try, don’t we?”

“Let it be natural, being too obsessed with it is not good.” Chu Ge laughed. “And what about you? Aren’t you bored staying at home for so long? Since you took a day off today, how about we go out and have some fun?”

Qiu Wuji’s heart stirred.

His cultivation mentality was truly admirable, and perhaps it was one of the main reasons for his rapid progress… Of course, it was also because it aligned with his personality and the “Dao” he wrote about.

“Hey, what about you? We have plenty of time today. Do you want to go out and have some fun?”

Lost in thought, Qiu Wuji responded casually, “Where do you want to go?”

“For example, museums, underwater worlds, science centers, things like that. They might not necessarily be fun, but they would be helpful for expanding your knowledge and understanding of the world.”

Qiu Wuji snapped back to reality, somewhat surprised. “Can we see the sea here?”

Chu Ge was taken aback for a moment. He was originally referring to places like the underwater world aquarium, typical attractions found in cities. He didn’t expect Qiu Wuji to directly think of seeing the sea.

But it didn’t seem like a problem. “We’re in Nanjiang, a coastal city. Although we have to go to the adjacent districts for the actual seaside… it’s still quite close, and we have enough time today.”

“Then I want to see the sea.” Qiu Wuji’s eyes shimmered. “Staying in the city for too long has limited my experiences.”

Chu Ge clenched his fist in his heart and exclaimed, “Yes! Let’s go see the sea!”

Whether they actually ended up seeing it or not, who knows? But it didn’t matter. As long as they didn’t have a cold war, even if they had to swim in the sea, he would gladly do it!
