The soul fragment clung to Chu Geâs arm, tilting her small head in a gesture of protest. âMean lady!â
The true bodyâs expression turned frosty. âLove-struck brain, embarrassing this seat!â
Chu Ge: ââ¦â
Itâs like primary school composition, with a little angel and a little devil in the mind exchanging insults, and itâs being manifested here, right?
The true body seemed to find self-criticism embarrassing as well, reaching out and grabbing. âStill clinging to a man! Come here, you!â
The soul fragment melted back into the body without any resistance.
In reality, she felt embarrassed herself for clinging to his arm as soon as she returned, and she didnât want to let go either. What could she do? She had to let the âmean ladyâ handle it and complete the act.
Qiqiuâs life isnât easy!
Chu Ge stood there with his hands in his pockets, understanding Qiu Wujiâs inner conflict. Yet, he found it quite magical⦠Why does it feel a bit like role-playingâ¦
Qiu Wuji glanced at him sideways. âWhatâs the matter? Uncomfortable not having anything to hold onto?â
Chu Ge cleared his throat. You wanted to act this out; sooner or later, youâll yourself be in my arms. Since itâs all you, whatâs the difference for me? If you want to play around, Iâll play alongâ¦
He didnât say it out loud, but he said honestly, âItâs only been a few days, and my spiritual cultivation hasnât undergone any substantial changes. Last time, I stayed for only an hour. Iâm not sure how to extend the duration this time.â
âIâve already figured it out for you,â Qiu Wuji handed over a pill. âThis is the Soul-Stabilizing Pill. I tested it, and it should allow you to stay a couple of days longerâ¦â
Look, you obviously want me to be here with you, so why bother to scold yourselfâ¦
Chu Ge took the pill and did feel that his spiritual state became more solid. He no longer had the feeling of being on the verge of returning at any moment.
He let out a sigh and smiled. âSo what do we do now?â
âI said to start observing from the tiniest plant and tree,â Qiu Wuji gently brushed her sleeve, put away the painting on the table, and set out a pot of wine. âIn the midst of the first snow on this mountain, care for a drink?â
Chu Ge found it quite intriguing. The feeling of small snowflakes in the mountains and a little drink in the pavilionâ¦
Qiu Wuji unleashed the ancient flavor she had gradually lost in the modern world without any hesitation, yet it blended harmoniously.
He really admired her ability to multitask her divine consciousness, a level of skill that would have driven him crazy if he had to do it⦠multitasking would cause his brain to crash.
Chu Ge walked into the pavilion and sat down opposite, just about to speak when Qiu Wuji sighed. âStand up for a moment.â
Chu Ge: â?â
âLift the hem of your clothes first. Sitting down directly like that, wonât it be uncomfortable pressing against the hem?â
â⦠So ancient attire is inconvenient.â
âThis is the practice attire for our disciples, not a scholarâs robe. Itâs not that troublesome,â Qiu Wuji scolded, narrowing her eyes. âDonât you have long clothes in the modern era? Why pretend here!â
Chu Ge scratched his head. Although there were long clothes, it still felt different⦠Speaking of which, was he adapting to ancient life as well?
Itâs quite amusing.
Chu Ge didnât argue with Qiu Wuji about which was more convenient. He lifted the hem of his clothes, leaned over, and peered at the wine.
This was immortal wineâ¦
His current body was a transformation; could he still drink alcohol? Taking pills just now was possible because those pills were for the soul, but what about alcohol?
âThis is also a soul nurturing wine.â As if knowing what he was thinking, Qiu Wuji poured the wine with delicate movements and spoke leisurely, âActually, I feel you should be able to consume solid substances too. If you can materialize my body, you should be able to materialize your own. You might as well give it a try.â
Chu Ge said, âIt seems like itâs not possible. There seems to be a difference between materializing fantasies and transforming yourself.â
âYou can do it for others, canât you do it for yourself?â
âIf I can, that would be incredible. Even if I can do it for others, itâs not for everyone, just for youâ¦â
âPerhaps⦠too bad, though. You canât enjoy the good things here.â
âHehe, wait until my true self comes in to eat.â
âIâll wait for you.â Qiu Wuji put down the wine jug and raised her cup in a respectful gesture. âA toast to Creator God who created this world, from this world arose Qiu Wuji.â
Chu Ge tilted his head and glanced at her, clinked his cup against hers, and drank it all in one go.
As the immortal wine entered his throat, it directly dispersed throughout his soul body. Threads of soul force permeated and nourished his soul sea, and his divine sense visibly grew stronger.
Qiu Wuji asked with some anticipation, âHow does it feel?â
Chu Ge said, âI just feel like Iâm cheating.â
Qiu Wuji chuckled and blinked. âYou have a female protagonist cooperating with you. Otherwise, how could you cheat so well? Creator God had targeted methods to chase after girls before, didnât he?â
Chu Ge laughed, âDid I successfully chase after this girl?â
âNo!â Qiu Wuji frowned, her face stern. âYouâve only managed to chase after a stupid clone.â
Chu Ge didnât argue with her, he looked at the wine jug eagerly, wanting more.
âDrinking our Jade Snow Nectar for the first time can indeed have a miraculous effect. It loses value if you drink too much.â Qiu Wuji refilled their cups and said lightly, âHave you considered patching things up a bit, cheating a little more?â
Chu Ge pondered for a moment, then shook his head, âIt would disrupt the balance and lead to others leveling up chaotically⦠We still have other high-quality resources, why pursue this?â
âYouâre really wealthy and powerful.â
âItâs Sect Master Qiu whoâs wealthy and powerful.â
âIs that so?â
Chu Ge blinked. Living off someone else is quite satisfying.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Qiu Wuji tilted her head slightly and snorted, âForget it, this world belongs to the Creator God after all. This Seat is just one of his underlings.â
Thinking of living off someone else? Dream on. How about I live off you instead?
Chu Ge was prompted by her words to recall the true minion, Little Flame. It seemed like he could get it to fetch some good thingsâ¦
Qiu Wuji set down the wine jug again and raised her cup once more. âA second toast to the path in the Creator Godâs heart, guiding characters from the realm of books to seek the truth in both worlds.â
Chu Ge tilted his head again and clinked his cup against hers. âHave they found it?â
âNo, but someday they will.â Qiu Wuji drank it all in one go. âIâm the one drinking in the pavilion, learning to draw comics and drive is also me. At least, the thoughts of this moment and the actions of that time, none were written by Creator God.â
âI havenât written your scenes for a long time. Hey, you know, is it more fun to see them calling you âQiuqiuâ when you have scenes, or is it better to be carefree when you donât?â
Qiu Wuji tilted her head and thought for a moment. âDoing what I want to do and still seeing them call out âQiuqiussâ is the most fun.â
Chu Ge chuckled softly. âYour current Weibo is pretty much like that.â
âTrue, but itâs not enough yet.â Qiu Wuji continued to pour the wine.
The snow gradually grew heavier, flake by flake, drifting around the pavilion.
The beautiful maiden Sect Leader donned colorful attire, a jade hairpin slanted, smiling gracefully, her fair hand warming the wine.
The intoxicating wine infused their souls, a redness spread across their cheeks, and in the vast expanse of snow, a light plum blossom bloomed.
Amber-colored liquid poured from the jugâs mouth, filling the cup with a tinkling sound, wafting a fragrant and overflowing aroma.
Before the wine could intoxicate, they were already intoxicated by each otherâs presence.
This was a sight that could never be seen in the modern city, no matter how good the camera, capturing an indescribable sentiment.
Qiu Wuji raised her cup for the third time. âA third toast to Creator God descending to the mortal realm, from now on Qiu Wuji has a little disciple.â
Chu Ge raised his cup, returning the gesture for the first time. âThis should be a toast to the celestial maiden descending to the mortal realm. From now on, beside Chu Ge, thereâs the most beautiful scenery.â
Be it the modern charm or the ancient elegance of the immortal realm. Regardless of how time and space intertwine, no matter how scenes change, as long as sheâs present, itâs the most beautiful view.
Qiu Wuji gazed at him with her beautiful eyes for a while, then suddenly smiled. âYou canât just casually flirt with me here. I wonât be as accommodating as that girl with lovesick thoughts.â
Chu Ge smiled faintly. âThat doesnât matter⦠As long as youâre by my side, thatâs enough.â
