What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 117: It’s Your Turn To Be The Master

“Do you know how many mistakes you made just now?” Qiu Wuji squatted beside Chu Ge, using a lazy tone to hide the ripples in her heart.

Chu Ge lay there uninterestedly muttering, “I know… Acting decisively leads to failure, hesitating leads to defeat… I should have done it quickly…”

By the end, his voice was only audible to himself.

Qiu Wuji didn’t know if she actually heard it or just guessed, but she responded with a mocking smile, “If you really tried to do something just now, you would have only bitten the floor.”

Chu Ge thought about it and realized it was probably true, so he remained silent. The power gap was too large. What’s the use of taking advantage of her unawareness if he couldn’t control her?

Qiu Wuji pulled him up with a smile and patted the nonexistent dust off him, saying, “Your mistake lies in pressing down on someone without supporting your waist. Waist strength is the most important reliance in such situations. Once the waist is held down, it’s more effective than restraining hands and feet.”

Chu Ge was dumbfounded. “Are you… are you teaching me how to overpower you?”

Qiu Wuji casually replied, “I’m teaching you how to control your enemy. Who’s as scatterbrained as you? Always thinking about random things.”

Chu Ge felt ashamed. “I’ll remember.”

Qiu Wuji said lightly, “Considering your cowardly behavior, Master finds it cute. But daring to resist for the first time, Master finds it fierce. Both deserve praise, so the lessons will continue.”

Chu Ge instinctively assumed a defensive posture.

A jade finger effortlessly bypassed his defense and touched his brow, “If I want to beat you up, you’d better not struggle…”

Chu Ge: “…”

As the finger touched his brow, the complete set of techniques and energy cultivation methods of the Plum Blossom Fist were vividly imprinted in his mind. Indeed, he didn’t need to fantasize about intimate teaching sessions or Qiu Wuji physically beating him to learn. Just like the Golden Bell Shield, it was as simple as patting his head to learn any technique.

Previously, Chu Ge didn’t want to cheat like this and even dreamed of his beautiful female master teaching him personally. “Um, should I practice the routine by myself then?”

Qiu Wuji beckoned with her finger, “Practice with me.”

“!!!” Chu Ge turned around and ran away.

Qiu Wuji grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him back.

The small rental room soon echoed with continuous screams, “Master, I was wrong, Master…”

“What did you do wrong?”

Isn’t it because you allowed someone to use a picture from their Weibo that led to you being called a sister-in-law today? Who would have expected such a big reaction… And then you kept finding excuses to hit me. Chu Ge felt aggrieved.

But when it comes to hitting, it’s not entirely accurate. She was actually practicing with him.

“I’m asking you what you did wrong. What are you thinking?” Qiu Wuji said angrily, “With that move just now, you should have turned back, flicked your finger to my wrist to make me retract, and then followed up with your left hand, like this…”

Her delicate hand moved swiftly, and their hands intertwined with each other, as if colorful butterflies danced lightly on plum branches, lingering without parting.

“In the end, we should reach this kind of stalemate, instead of me twisting you like a chicken! Do you know where you went wrong now?”

So that’s what you were asking…

Chu Ge honestly replied, “I’ll remember.”

They locked arms and looked into each other’s eyes, something flickering within both of them. After all this, isn’t it still a hands-on teaching method?

Qiu Wuji twisted her wrist mysteriously, and her fingers brushed over Chu Ge’s wrist from an unbelievable angle, as if a jade hand caressing floating snow.

Chu Ge felt a numbness in his wrist, and Qiu Wuji broke free from the entanglement, twisting his wrist as if about to break it. She playfully imitated the sound, “Crack! You’ve been broken again.”

Chu Ge could only laugh and cry.

Qiu Wuji stopped and swayed, walking back to her room with her hands behind her back. “Contemplate that move on your own. I’m going to take a shower.”

Chu Ge stood there foolishly, empty-handed, gesturing aimlessly. Qiu Wuji’s mysterious techniques had made him feel like he was in a martial arts dream, even more vivid than the Golden Bell Shield. It was quite interesting.

And beautiful.

Every move and technique she performed was exceptionally graceful, and when she executed them, they became even more beautiful. He wondered if he would look elegant or flamboyant when he mastered them in the future.

Qiu Wuji passed by him, ignoring him completely, as she held her clothes and walked into the bathroom.

An hour later, Chu Ge was still practicing while Qiu Wuji, in her pajamas, ran her hand through her wet hair and held her dirty clothes, walking past him as if he didn’t exist, and went to the balcony to do the laundry.

Chu Ge naturally stopped his practice and proceeded to take a shower, declaring an end to his day’s training. Neither of them said a word, but their eyes spoke everything:

“It’s your turn to shower.”

“Oh, okay.”

…………

Late at night, in the quietness, Chu Ge sat in front of the computer, typing up drafts for the next day.

The training took less than two hours. He started after dinner, and with the shower included, it was a little past 9 o’clock. He still had some time to work on his drafts.

There was no need to pay attention to the noise on the internet anymore… and no need to bother with it. Whether they were guilty or not in their hearts, whether they were beaten or victorious, it was their own business and had nothing to do with others.

Hmph, even if I get beaten, Qiu Qiu is so adorable. Anyway, I will definitely have a chance to be victorious.

Thinking this way, the fragrance of tea filled the air, and Qiu Wuji brewed another cup of tea and placed it on the table.

Whether it was the scent of the tea or the fragrance of her after the bath, Chu Ge couldn’t tell. Her hair wasn’t even dry…

Chu Ge said, “Thank you,” seemingly focused on the documents on the screen, but his peripheral vision seemed to be drifting somewhere else.

Huh, why is she still standing here? Could it be that she got addicted to sharing a room at the hotel last time and wants to try it again?

Qiu Wuji murmured somewhat shyly, “Now it’s your turn to be the master.”

Chu Ge replied, “Huh?”

Qiu Wuji said, “When you transformed into the moon, we agreed that I would come out and you would continue teaching me how to write.”

Chu Ge said, “You’re already doing great. They treated your autobiography as the main work, and I got overshadowed. I don’t need to teach you anymore…”

Qiu Wuji scornfully said, “Look at how jealous you are.”

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, “Jealous? What am I jealous of? I know they’re just joking when they say it’s the main text. But if it were the main text and it didn’t update, why don’t you give it a try? Tomorrow, you’ll be beaten to death by Panda through the internet.”

Qiu Wuji pouted. She also understood this logic. After all, others came for the main story, and the autobiography was just supplementary. But even the autobiography got stuck. How to smoothly transition between the two stories in the book world has been a problem, and she still hasn’t come up with a good idea. She tried seeking answers from the female genre masters’ books, but to no avail. In the end, she had to ask him.

At this moment, Qiu Wuji regretted whether she had beaten him too harshly earlier. Now the tables have turned, and she might be in trouble…

But then she saw Chu Ge taking a posture and taking a sip of tea. “What exactly is the problem that has troubled you for so long, from the world in the book to here?”

Remembering how brutally she beat him earlier, Qiu Wuji felt her anger dissipate, and she weakly said, “It’s the transition between the two plotlines… There’s some time gap between the two, and they aren’t closely related. But in between, when I try to recall what happened, it’s just some boring trivial matters. The occurrence of the second event is already quite sudden. It’s fine if it happens in reality, but if the story is written like that, wouldn’t it feel inexplicable to the readers?”

Chu Ge was somewhat amazed and chuckled, “You actually understand this principle!”

Qiu Wuji said, “I understand it, but I don’t know how to solve it. I’ve read your books, and the transitions between different scenes and character groups are seamless. There’s hardly any sense of abruptness. I don’t know how you managed to do it… Please share, Master~”

Chu Ge trembled all over, feeling weak. He forcefully held back his simping behavior and said with a straight face, “You just hit me.”

Qiu Wuji could only say, “Well, you can hit me too. Now that you’re the master, you can discipline your disciple.”

“Why would I hit you?” Chu Ge looked up. “What did we agree upon when I transformed into the moon?”

Shoulder-massage!

Qiu Wuji gritted her teeth and clenched her fist. “Chu Ge, are you itching for a fight? I can punch your shoulder so hard that it’ll never need to be pinched by anyone again!”

Chu Ge didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “I knew you’d renege on your promise .”

Qiu Wuji huffed, appearing as if she had been bullied, but she didn’t back down. “When I taught you things, I never held back. I wholeheartedly shared my knowledge with you!”

“During scene transitions, if it’s a small transition, you just need a dividing line. You should know this,” Chu Ge didn’t continue to argue. Instead, he started teaching directly.

Qiu Wuji paused, looking at his slightly smiling face. Her mind was filled with planned arguments, but they were all blocked, leaving her dumbfounded as she simply uttered, “Mhm.”

Chu Ge continued, “So, you need a few techniques to achieve it. For example, after experiencing the first event, you have a boring period of walking and hesitation, staying at an inn, practicing, nothing worth mentioning, and suddenly you encounter something that feels abrupt, right?”

Qiu Wuji nodded, “Yes, exactly. It looks bad if you write it directly, doesn’t it?”

“With a third-person perspective, this part can be completely separated. It can be mentioned that while Qiu Wuji was traveling, somewhere, someone did something. Write a chapter or two about it, and then Qiu Wuji arrives from afar and encounters it. This transition will be smooth.”

“But my autobiography is in the first person, and it’s based on my own experiences.”

“Yes, but it’s in the form of a memoir. You can fully utilize foreshadowing techniques. For example, ‘At this moment, as I hesitated and walked forward, I had no idea that behind the seemingly peaceful little town, such filth was hidden. Even during the entire month I stayed at the inn, everything here appeared peaceful and tranquil, until I encountered that person.’ After that, you can freely write about the daily life, and when the event happens, it won’t feel abrupt. Instead, it will create anticipation in advance.”

Qiu Wuji’s eyes lit up.

This technique was something she would never have thought of with her usual approach of recounting events one by one. It was absolutely useful, and the difficulties that had troubled her for so long were resolved in just a few sentences, to the point where she could even directly borrow his words.

This was truly a special skill, not inferior to what she had taught him. Each had its own charm, both in literary and martial aspects.

She smiled awkwardly and whispered, “Why are you suddenly being so nice, not holding back and teaching me directly?”

“Because you’re right. You also shared your knowledge wholeheartedly,” Chu Ge said seriously. “Next time, you can’t do this. You have to massage my shoulders before I’m willing to teach! Agreed? Let’s start tomorrow.”

Qiu Wuji nearly spilled her tea on his head. She turned around angrily and said, “Just wait and see how I’ll beat you tomorrow! You’ll see!”

Chu Ge watched her storm off, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Doesn’t it sound like a primary school student saying, “Just wait, I’ll call someone to beat you up tomorrow”?

Qiu Wuji, who had previously displayed the demeanor of a sect leader, completely changed her demeanor, and even her own behavior became coarse. It was evident that when someone puts themselves in a certain position, their mindset and behavior can be completely different.
