NOVEL WEB Chapter 17: Like A Dream
Sexy underwear and black long stockings were scattered casually around, still with their original scent.
In the past, seeing these things might have made Chu Ge’s heart race, but at this moment, he didn’t have any thoughts about it.
He silently picked them up and threw them into the washing machine. He stood there in a daze, listening to the sound of the machine turning for a while, then shook his head and went back to his room to write.
Even though he had already thought out the content of the novel in advance and had been typing quickly before, he was now struggling to get into the mood. Whenever he wrote the name “Qiu Wuji,” her every expression quickly appeared in his mind, even the places where she hit him still throbbed with pain.
This was a real person, not a fictional character that he could freely create.
Then he would hesitate, how much influence does he still have on her when he writes about her now?
For example, even if he cuts off the connection between Qiu Wuji and Chu Tiange, normal dialogue and guidance between the master and disciples were still necessary, otherwise, the meaning of the protagonist entering the sect would be lost. So now if he writes about Qiu Wuji guiding Chu Tiange, can Qiu Wuji judge whether it’s something she wants to teach herself or something he wrote? If she realizes it’s something he wrote, would she still be willing to teach him?
His thoughts were in chaos, and he found it difficult to write. Fortunately, this part of the plot was relatively simple, and after struggling for a while, he managed to write two thousand words. Chu Ge had no intention of revising it carefully, he hastily published it, completing his usual task of two chapters per day.
This chapter can be said to be the least expressive one in this book from the beginning to now. He didn’t even know what he was writing. Chu Ge didn’t dare to read the comments, but hesitated for a moment before opening the group chat.
The group that he usually peeks at has not been opened for two days, he even felt like he wasn’t acting like an author anymore.
When he opened it, the group members were criticizing the new chapter, and their reasons were very consistent, as follows:
“Short and weak.”
“Short and weak.”
“How many words is this? I finished reading it before I even finished taking off my pants to use the restroom?”
Chu Ge: “… I’ve been working on the plotline these past few days, please bear with me.”
“Oh, Brother Chu is here? When will Qiu Wuji be pushed down?”
“LoLoL…”
“By the way, Brother Chu, these recent chapters are getting better and better!”
Chu Ge: “Really?”
Are you sure? I clearly wrote a chapter while being lazy and careless. The previous chapter was even half-written while using the restroom, it had a distinct odor.
Someone said, “I think these two chapters are written more delicately by Brother Chu, he doesn’t even miss Qiu Wuji’s slightest expression, oh yeah, he also added more details about clothing, which he wasn’t good at before, but now it feels like he’s writing to a real person.”
“Yeah, Brother Chu’s writing has improved.”
Chu Ge’s hand hung over the keyboard for a while before retracting it and picking up the mouse to send a meme.
The group chat immediately went off-topic. The discussion about whether Chu Ge had improved was completely forgotten as everyone started sharing all kinds of memes in the group.
Chu Ge, who had maliciously sparked this off-topic discussion, leaned back on his chair and looked at the group chat discussion absentmindedly. He felt somewhat detached and far away, as if he was in a crowded hall but still felt like he was in another world.
…
In the novel world.
Qiu Wuji opened her eyes in the secret room, which was still protected by the formation and treasures she had prepared earlier to cross the ‘dimensional barrier’. The treasures shone brilliantly and the spiritual energy flowed, forming a stark contrast to Chu Ge’s ordinary rented house.
Qiu Wuji looked down at her body and saw that she was still wearing her Sect Leader’s robes. The clothes she had just put on felt like a dream.
A dream indeed.
She sighed, stood up and left the secret room.
“Master, are you out of seclusion?” A female core disciple stood outside and respectfully saluted her. “Elder Zhou came to report that he received news that there may be an Azure Dragon’s shed scales in Ten Thousand Snake Cave, thousands of miles away in the southwest. He said to immediately report it as soon as you came out of seclusion.”
Qiu Wuji smiled. “I see.”
Originally, she was going to say “I know” but she couldn’t help but purse her lips slightly.
The disciple looked a little distracted for a moment.
The Sect Master rarely smiles, and her smile is really beautiful….
Qiu Wuji looked up at the moon in the sky and flew away. “Let them gather in the conference hall.”
The disciple went to carry out the order, but before leaving, she looked up at the way Qiu Wuji was flying and wondered to herself: Why is the Sect Master holding down her clothes when flying?
“I know about the Azure Dragon scales,” Qiu Wuji said to the elders in the conference hall. “I must get this item myself. In addition, the Ten Thousand Snake Cave is full of mysteries, and the outer layer is quite suitable for disciples to train. Since we’re going, we should bring some disciples along, who may have the chance to encounter fate.”
Then an elder said, “Then we’ll go ahead and select some disciples…”
“This clue was discovered by Chu Tiange in the southern market, right?” Qiu Wuji said, “This disciple has good luck and should be brought along… I will also give some extra guidance and rewards as a reward for this information. Go and call him.”
The elders looked at each other in confusion. The Sect Master just came out of seclusion, how did she know it was Chu Tiange who discovered the clue?
Could it be that the Sect Master’s divination abilities have reached this level? But the Sect Master doesn’t seem to practice divination. She’s becoming more and more unfathomable…
Chu Tiange was called over and cautiously entered the conference hall surrounded by big shots. He respectfully saluted, “Greetings, Sect Master.”
When he saluted, he felt something strange in his heart. He always felt that the Sect Master’s gaze on him contained a murderous intent. Maybe it was just his imagination. Why would the Sect Master want to kill him for no reason? If she really wanted to kill him, he could just lie down and wait for death, there was no need to think about it. Hmm, the Sect Master’s expression had already turned into a smile, it seemed that she was just testing his character.
Qiu Wuji’s gaze had indeed changed from a killing intent to a desire to laugh.
She found that Chu Tiange and Chu Ge looked somewhat similar. Of course, it was only a little similar. It was Chu Ge’s own projection, where he inserted himself as the protagonist. However, his description could not completely follow his own template. For example, Chu Ge was quite handsome, but as he had to write an ordinary person as the main character, Chu Tiange could only be described as “plain-looking, but firm and sunny.”
Moreover, Chu Tiange was also a ‘youth’, while Chu Ge was already in his late twenties. This appearance was also based on Chu Ge’s own and looked like his alter ego or his son?
That’s right, he created it, he was the ‘creator god’, so wasn’t Chu Tiange his son? Thinking of this, Qiu Wuji was secretly happy. Strictly speaking, was Chu Ge now competing with his “son” for a woman?
This realization made her forget about her frustration of being wrongly linked with someone, and made her want to laugh.
At the same time, she felt a little sympathy.
Did Chu Tiange think it was all his hard work and struggle?
It was all written by someone in his room…
Qiu Wuji supported her right hand on the armrest of the chair and lazily leaned her forehead against it, “Finding the clue to the Azure Dragon is a great achievement for our sect. Chu Tiange, what reward do you want from me?”
Chu Tiange hurriedly said, “I dare not, this is what the disciple should do.”
Qiu Wuji lazily said, “I grant you entry into the third floor of the Scrolls Tower for seven days to study any Profound-level Techniques of your choice.”
The elders were all moved, this reward was really high. For Chu Tiange’s level, being able to enter the second floor of the Scrolls Tower was already good enough, and the reward was usually Yellow-level Techniques. He was directly allowed to the third floor, with Profound-level Techniques…
Why did the Sect Master suddenly become so generous?
Qiu Wuji secretly sneered, did she still have to personally guide him? This reward would suffice.
Oh right, Chu Ge wrote about Chu Tiange entering the second floor, what changes would there be now?
“In addition…” Qiu Wuji thought for a moment, “Chu Tiange has not yet opened his meridians, right? Today, I will order the kitchen to add a bowl of beef noodles for him, as encouragement. That’s it, everyone go back and prepare, and come to Ten Thousand Snake Cave in seven days.”
The elders: “?”
Chu Tiange: “???”
Qiu Wuji’s mouth showed a smile again.
