CH 149

The kiss between the two was not the first time; Qiu Wuji had even taken the initiative to kiss him. But whether it was a psychological effect or not, she felt that this kiss was very comfortable.

It was more comfortable than the stiff and nervous first kiss, and more comfortable than the time when she couldn’t help but kiss him later, and he was bewildered.

The afternoon was warm and cozy. She lazily leaned against his chest, and he leaned down to kiss her affectionately. She responded gracefully. The laziness was gentle, the laziness was intoxicating. No need to think about anything, no need to do anything, just feel his love, just let him savor her sweetness.

Her mind was empty, with a slight tingling sensation of electric currents, and something was stirring in her heart.

Both of them had a desire to go further, but they were somewhat clumsy. Chu Ge tried to lock lips, but Qiu Wuji released her lips. Then he winced slightly in pain and made a muffled groan, and the entire atmosphere vanished.

Both of them opened their eyes, their expressions somewhat awkward yet also slightly playful. Chu Ge, like a cheeky guy, wanted to try again, but Qiu Wuji lowered her head and pushed him away, saying, “Okay… that’s enough. The dishes haven’t been washed yet…”

“What’s the big deal about washing dishes?”

“Just go out… it’s enough like this! Mmm…”

Their lips were sealed once again, but this time it lacked the previous tenderness. Chu Ge kissed her deeply and then smiled, saying, “I’ll wash them.”

Qiu Wuji didn’t insist and left with a muddled mind.

Whenever he kissed her, she always felt so weak, not at all in line with her demeanor. Maybe next time she should take the lead again, that would be more appropriate…

But what Mengmeng said seemed to make sense. Was she teasing him and igniting his desire without taking responsibility?

Why does this kind of thing have to be so complicated?

Qiu Wuji sat on the sofa, hugging a pig-shaped pillow and watching TV, feeling annoyed. The actors in the TV drama were also kissing, but their kisses didn’t look good at all.

Not as good as ours.

After a while, Chu Ge quickly finished washing the dishes and came out, sitting right next to her.

Qiu Wuji moved away about half a foot, showing her disdain. Chu Ge stubbornly moved closer, sticking by her side and she glared at him angrily.

He reached out and embraced her shoulder.

Qiu Wuji pursed her lips and leaned against his shoulder, watching TV. After the silent drama, she lazily broke the silence: “How much have you written?”

Chu Ge chuckled helplessly, “You’ve been pressuring me a lot in the group chat.”

“Because I always feel like you’re not focusing on your work.”

“You are my work.”

“Don’t use that line.” Qiu Wuji said, “That book is not just a source of income for us. You know it has a more important meaning. Otherwise, why would I keep urging you every now and then…”

“Don’t worry.” Chu Ge smiled, “When I’m writing, I often multitask. Like last night, you thought I was watching live streaming and wasting a lot of time, but I was actually writing the entire time. I finished the draft this morning. After my mom finished teaching me this morning, I exercised while writing. By the time you and Zhu Mengmeng arrived, I had finished the second chapter, and I wrote half a chapter while cooking…”

As a novice writer, Qiu Wuji couldn’t help but feel envious. “You’re so efficient… Does it never get stuck?”

“It does get stuck. The previous stage of being stuck has passed, and now I’ve found my rhythm, so it’s efficient. Plus, it can still get stuck, right?”

Qiu Wuji wanted to say that she always gets stuck. It takes her a whole day to write a chapter. But that’s despite having a ready-made story, which is really frustrating.

As if reading her mind, Chu Ge said, “Lately, the group chat hasn’t been mocking my short chapters much, but they’ve been urging me for the ‘main text.’ When will your next chapter be out?”

“Well…” Qiu Wuji’s gaze wandered, “After finishing this TV show, I’ll start writing. I’ll try to finish it tonight…”

Chu Ge said, “I’ve applied to the editor. From now on, that chapter will be released as a special bonus for the complete edition.”

Qiu Wuji was taken aback. “There’s no need for that.”

Chu Ge playfully tapped her nose. “But it’s your hard work too.”

Qiu Wuji lazily rested her head on his shoulder and remained silent, feeling sweet in her heart. He cares about this. He values my efforts.

Both of them silently watched the TV for about ten seconds and felt that it wasn’t interesting at all. Qiu Wuji finally didn’t want to watch anymore and lazily spoke up. “You have two abilities related to space, right? One is the invisibility you used in the corridor before?”

“Yeah,” Chu Ge felt a bit embarrassed. “I thought that kind of invisibility would be relatively advanced, and with your mana depleted, you might not be able to detect it. But it turns out you still saw through it…”

“The perception is different. It doesn’t rely on mana; it’s based on spiritual consciousness, or you could say spiritual perception, even experience and warnings,” Qiu Wuji smiled. “Moreover, your invisibility, in the early stages of learning, with unstable aura and spatial fluctuations, any experienced cultivator can tell there’s an ambush. It may be advanced, and there’s great potential in the future, but at this stage of initial learning, it might be better to rely on blocking the line of sight.”

Chu Ge chuckled, “Even though you don’t study space, it seems like you understand it better than my mom.”

Qiu Wuji sighed, “Ten thousand years of experience… Honestly, even I feel a bit weird calling her ‘auntie’…”

Chu Ge couldn’t help but laugh.

Qiu Wuji huffed, “What are you laughing at? It’s all because of your made-up ‘ten thousand years’! If you only wrote for eighteen years, it wouldn’t have been so exaggerated.”

“Hah, the Sect Master of Cloud Horizon Sect at eighteen, one of the strongest in the Nine Provinces, a transcendent being… No one would read this book.”

“Why wouldn’t anyone read it? I’ve seen others write for a few months and become popular, even more popular than you.”

“They were the main characters.”

“I’m the female lead!”

“Okay, okay, I admit my writing is terrible.” Chu Ge gave in.

Qiu Wuji couldn’t maintain her temper and could only grumble, “Theoretically, your ability isn’t specifically related to space, but it seems to encompass the transformations of space, so you can use spatial abilities… But you don’t manipulate space like your mother does. These can only be considered as making connections through similar principles, just like how the Heaven and Earth technique helps you establish a spiritual link. I guess when you become proficient in both, you might be able to combine them into your true comprehensive ability.”

Chu Ge replied with a nod, “Hmm, I feel even more confident now, especially after practicing the second use of space.”

“The second one? What is it?”

Chu Ge suddenly smiled and, with a flick of his right hand from somewhere, conjured a brand new pig-shaped pillow out of thin air. It was chubby and had a bow tie, just like the one Qiu Wuji was holding in her hand at the moment. He smiled faintly, “I actually wanted to surprise you with this when I tried to ambush you before, but Zhu Mengmeng was there, so I didn’t have the courage to bring it out.”

Qiu Wuji’s eyes lit up, “Where did this pig come from! No, wait… is this a personal space you’ve created?”

Chu Ge sighed in admiration. “You’re really sharp, Qiuqiu~”

Qiu Wuji’s eyes sparkled, “A portable space? How big is it? Let me tell you, this room is too small. After I moved in, my things kept increasing, and now it feels so cramped. Can I use this space to store miscellaneous items?”

Chu Ge: “???”

Qiu Wuji: “…”

Both of them were at a loss for words for a moment.

Is this the first thought that comes to the mind of a generation’s Sect Master after seeing a portable space?

The air quieted down for a while until Chu Ge cleared his throat and said, “The space is actually quite small, about the size of a backpack. It’s okay for storing some snacks, but forget about other things… I’ll make it stronger in the future…”

“So when you said you felt more confident, you meant that this portable space made you feel the sense of ‘ownership’ and ‘overlooking’ the world within the book, right?”

“That’s right.” Chu Ge’s expression became somewhat serious. “This space is just a reference for my cultivation. Sooner or later, I will make the world within the book just like my portable space. When that time comes, I will truly be… the Creator God.”

Qiu Wuji straightened up from his shoulder, looked at him intently for a moment, and suddenly smiled, “You already are.”

Chu Ge: “Um…”

Qiu Wuji smiled seductively and gently leaned closer, “My Creator God, are you planning to put two identical pigs on the bed and coax me to sleep together?”

Chu Ge’s mouth went dry.

With your tone and posture, do you want me to answer yes or no? Why do I feel that if I answer yes, you’ll change your expression?

Chu Ge speculated in his heart and immediately replied, “This is a gift for you. You can arrange it however you like, use it however you want…”

“My Creator God is so considerate to his female devotee… What can I do to repay you?”

Chu Ge couldn’t resist this astonishing charm. He felt that this was not the time to answer the question, but rather a moment to pounce and indulge in passion. However, he also felt like it could be a trap, and actually pouncing could easily lead to death…

He didn’t dare to truly pounce. He dodged and evaded, and finally, in a sorry state, he stood up and ran away, saying, “I-I’ll go practice my powers and then write… Y-You rest…”

Seeing Chu Ge fleeing like his life depended on it, Qiu Wuji’s seductive demeanor vanished, replaced by a smiling and slightly squinted expression.

With one hand on each little pig, she swiftly brought the two pigs close together and “pop,” they kissed.

Qiu Wuji’s eyes formed crescents as she laughed.
