What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book
Chapter 169: Chocolate Candy

Returning to the neighborhood, they found the rental advertisement of the homeowner across the street. After talking with the homeowner, the rent went down from 1,000 to 800. The young couple didn’t even need to move; they straightforwardly solved the problem of the rental being too small and insufficient.

They moved the treadmill and the alchemy furnace to the opposite door and also moved a pile of miscellaneous items. Suddenly, they realized that the previously cramped space became spacious and bright. They even felt like they could place an extra flower pot on the windowsill.

The space in the Moon Shadow room was still far from being fully utilized since it also had a kitchen, bathroom, and balcony. They could even take showers separately… Considering the room itself, since they didn’t need a bed, having a lonely alchemy furnace actually made it feel more spacious. They could also add more things in the future.

After spending half an hour tidying up the house, Qiu Wuji comfortably lay on their own sofa, looking at the relaxed space. She felt that even the air became fresher and the sunlight became brighter… Only the rain knew where she found the sunlight from.

In any case, Sect Master Qiu looked around and found everything pleasing to the eye. In a good mood, she stretched lazily and said, “Now, this is a place fit for living…”

Chu Ge had a serious expression, “Weren’t you living here before?”

“Well, I was raising pigs.”

“You’re the pig.”

“No, you’re the pig!”

They stared at each other for a while, and Qiu Wuji revealed a playful smile. “I’m tired. There’s no pillow on the sofa.”

Chu Ge didn’t react immediately. “Ah… Shall I get you one?”

“I want to lay on a little pig.”

“That’s called…uh…” Chu Ge suddenly realized in his heart. “The little pig is right here.” He happily trotted over and sat beside Qiu Wuji, who was lying horizontally.

Qiu Wuji was satisfied with his cleverness and moved her head until it rested on his legs, letting out a contented sigh. “See, you’re the little pig.”

Chu Ge smiled and looked at her, not arguing. If she wanted to believe that they were little pigs, then so be it.

He couldn’t help but think that Qiu Wuji was becoming more and more like a cat. But she preferred to think of them as little pigs.

Gently running his fingers through Qiu Wuji’s long hair, Chu Ge watched her peaceful and serene face as she rested with her eyes closed. His heart softened, feeling that no matter how much he looked at her, it would never be enough.

He wondered if Qiu Wuji herself realized the significance of today’s little errand for their shared “home.” It was a small matter, but it held a different meaning. Although they ended up back where they started… it was fine. A place where you’ve lived for a long time is already home.

And with you, it’s even more so.

Still, he couldn’t help but say the words he had said countless times before and never grew tired of, “It’s so good that you came out of the book…”

While Qiu Wuji was resting with her eyes closed, she suddenly muttered a strange exclamation, “Why do I feel like Zhang Qiren and Moon Shadow moving out was all for my sake…”

Chu Ge found it a bit amusing. Putting aside Zhang Qiren, Moon Shadow had moved out for a while, yet the house still hadn’t been rented. It almost felt like it was waiting for them to use it.

Of course, it couldn’t be someone deliberately arranging this. No one had arranged it just because they were dissatisfied with the small house. It wouldn’t make any sense… It could only be a coincidence, conveniently catering to their laziness.

But laziness also meant things couldn’t be perfect. “Before, we talked about moving because we didn’t want people to know where we lived. Now that we haven’t moved, should we consider this issue?”

Qiu Wuji asked, “Have you ever revealed our address to Zhong Yi?”

“No, other than telling my parents, only Zhang Qiren, and Lin Wuyang know. And also your friend Zhu Mengmeng. Then there’s Gu Ruoyan, Moon Shadow, and the imprisoned Hai Dongqing and the Wall-walker?” Chu Ge counted them and realized it wasn’t much. “If we consider it, it seems like moving or not moving doesn’t make much difference. Zhong Yi has a wide social circle, and if he really wants to replace out where we live, it won’t be any different here or in a new place.”

Qiu Wuji thought for a moment. “Actually, it’s not about hiding from Zhong Yi. It’s about that outsider, that person named Du Lianfeng. As long as these people don’t come knocking on our door, it doesn’t matter.”

Chu Ge said, “We possess unique abilities, and we always have a sense of foreboding. It’s not easy to avoid these people replaceing us.”

Qiu Wuji smiled, “If that’s the case, it doesn’t matter where we live. In fact, it’s more convenient here.”

“Hmm? Why do you say that?”

“This small building only has two units, which means the entire floor belongs to us. If someone comes looking for us, it won’t affect anyone else much. It’s better than having neighbors elsewhere… I can also set up formations outside to conceal our presence and aura, while also serving as a warning.”

Chu Ge was curious, “Speaking of which, you didn’t set up any formations in our house before. Why do I keep hearing you talk about formations lately? Did you have a breakthrough that gave you more techniques?”

“I didn’t have any breakthrough… I could already use temporary formations like the one that bound Yan Qianli today, but temporary ones can’t protect our home in the long run. They’re not reliable… For a formation to be established long-term, it definitely requires materials like formation stones and flags, and at the very least, they need to be inscribed on the ground…” Qiu Wuji vaguely explained, then suddenly opened her eyes and stared, “It’s all because of certain Creator God’s ridiculous setting. It’s so troublesome!”

Chu Ge chuckled and tapped her nose, “That setting is not ridiculous. The difference between formations and ordinary techniques lies in this. It’s the attention to detail that matters, so you should praise it!”

Qiu Wuji attempted to bite his finger, but Chu Ge withdrew his hand in time, avoiding her bite. She pouted and closed her eyes in a huff.

Chu Ge extended his finger again and lightly brushed it against her lips, exploring their softness. They were so smooth.

Strange, she never wore lipstick, so how were her lips so rosy? She hadn’t reached a highly divine level in her cultivation, so was this her natural beauty or was she cheating when she shaped her body?

Before he could think of a reason, she bit him.

“Ouch, that hurts!”

Qiu Wuji opened her eyes, both angry and funny. “You’ve reached the level of a small accomplishment in the Golden Bell Shield technique, so why aren’t you using it? Aren’t you afraid that my teeth will hurt you?”

“Because you wanted to bite me.”

“You’re truly an M.”

Chu Ge smiled silently.

Qiu Wuji lazily said, “So now Creator God can take things from the book world, like formation stones and flags. If possible, try to obtain high-level ones. I want to see who dares to trespass.”

Chu Ge remembered the tragedy of Hai Dongqing getting lost in the illusion formation and found it quite amusing. He enthusiastically said, “Let me see which formations we can bring out… Hmm… Can you handle some of these formations in your cultivation?”

Qiu Wuji revealed a seductive smile. “Little Flame has refined many pills… Creator God, do you want to compare who has faster cultivation progress?”

Chu Ge blinked his eyes, feeling that there was something sinister behind that smile.

Qiu Wuji rolled her eyes. “Ultimately, it’s because Creator God is too weak. If you were strong enough, it wouldn’t matter where you live. Just like in the book, I clearly live on Cloud Horizon Mountain. Who in the Nine Provinces would dare to come and attack me?”

Chu Ge argued, “There is Yan Qianli.”

“That’s why he has become Little Flame!” Qiu Wuji widened her eyes. “Hurry up and take your medicine. Do you really think your mediocre skills can dominate Southern River? You can’t even defeat your own mother!”

“… ” Chu Ge pretended to get up. “Then I’ll go get the pills.”

“Wait…” Qiu Wuji turned over and muttered, “There’s no rush. Let me lie down a bit longer…”

Before her words could fully settle, she felt a chocolate ball being placed between her lips.

Qiu Wuji was very familiar with it—it was the Muscle-Building Pill she had specifically refined. She felt that her body was too weak and needed strengthening. It turned out that the pills had been right there on the coffee table next to the sofa the whole time, and Chu Ge easily retrieved them, despite pretending to get up earlier.

Qiu Wuji glared at him with the pill in her mouth, but heard him say gently, “Take as long as you want to lie down. While you cultivate the pill, I will protect you.”

Qiu Wuji suddenly felt that what she was holding in her mouth wasn’t a pill anymore. She was lying on her boyfriend’s legs, and her boyfriend had fed her chocolate candy. She hesitated for a moment and mumbled indistinctly, “When I cultivate the pill, I will enter a meditative state. Don’t take advantage…”

“Okay, okay.” Chu Ge poked the pill she had been holding between her lips. “I’ll wait until I can defeat you, then you’ll know.”

Qiu Wuji thought for a moment, then reached for the coffee table and grabbed another pill, which she shoved into Chu Ge’s mouth. “Here’s one for you. No need for protection.”

Chu Ge also felt that this wasn’t the typical pill cultivation. Clearly, they were just feeding each other chocolate candies.

Who said cultivation was dull? This was clearly quite sweet…
