What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 140: That’s Our Mother

The team led by Moon Shadow swiftly approached the large ship in the sea, highly trained.

Qiu Wuji wanted to follow, but Moon Shadow stopped her strangely, saying, “Sister Qiu, didn’t we agree not to take risks? If you’re in danger, I can’t explain to Chu Ge.”

Qiu Wuji stubbornly replied, “Why should I explain myself to him when I do things?”

Moon Shadow just wore a helpless expression.

Qiu Wuji became curious instead and said, “Hey, you’re just an trainees, but you act like a leader in this situation. Everyone else is doing their work, and you’re just fooling around with me, and no one is reprimanding you.”

“I’m a colleague of Nanjiang here. Am I some high-ranking official? I don’t know. Anyway, I’m definitely not a leader. They have their own leaders. Am I an overseer or a coordinator?” Moon Shadow’s face also showed a bit of confusion. She had recently joined the field as a young girl and many things were still unclear to her.

However, this internship task seemed quite important, and it seemed that she would become a formal member once it was completed. Moon Shadow didn’t say much to Qiu Wuji and simply said, “If Sister Qiu insists on following, stay far away and don’t get involved.”

“Fine, fine..” Qiu Wuji lazily replied, “I’ll just watch the live broadcast.”

On the other side, Chu Ge was also watching the livestream.

Qiu Wuji’s true body reached out her hand, and the liquor in the pot condensed in the sky, forming a thin veil. Within the thin veil, the scene over there faintly appeared. It was the feedback of Qiu Wuji’s thoughts, a glimpse of the scene.

The Moon Lord in the sky watched with some envy. Such divine techniques… No, why am I jealous? I wrote them for her, hmph.

Qiu Wuji also snorted, saying, “Are you able to see clearly from such a distance?”

Chu Ge replied, “It doesn’t matter to me whether it’s near or far. It’s all the same. This is the will of heaven, understand, little girl? Watch and learn more.”

Qiu Wuji didn’t immediately jump around like in the real world. She calmly said, “It’s been a while since I practiced grappling with the will of heaven. I’ll try it tonight.”

The Lord of Heaven remained silent. The lack of harmony in the world is not really my fault…

His gaze fell on the screen formed by the liquor, and he clearly saw a group of people approaching the large ship. They were all soldiers with special abilities and well-trained skills. Chu Ge saw some walking on water, others leaping and somersaulting, and some using grappling hooks, as if watching a scene from a special military operation. Being able to watch this as a live broadcast is so cool…

Moon Shadow merged with the shadows and effortlessly reached the ship, like a ghost.

Chu Ge felt that her abilities actually had a somewhat villainous style…

Qiu Wuji also praised, “This organization is actually very powerful. It’s not easy for those families like the Wangs and Zhangs to survive until now.”

Chu Ge said, “In today’s society, we emphasize procedural justice and cannot act recklessly. Of course, there are some things that are not suitable for outsiders to know.”

Qiu Wuji smiled faintly. The so-called “some things” in her mortal society were even more absurd— even the immortal path was absurd, so there was nothing to say. Chu Ge’s side was already considered good, and that’s what they call no harm without comparison.

Between their conversation, gunshots, shouts, and screams already echoed from the ship. The sounds grew louder and more chaotic, accompanied by splashing fire everywhere. The battle quickly intensified into a fierce conflict.

Chu Ge watched with cold sweat in his hands. This is not a movie, it’s real. In the unknown darkness, warriors are fighting bloodily to defend Nangjiang.

Qiu Wuji looked up at the moon and said, “Are you getting all fired up again?”

Chu Ge awkwardly replied, “Getting fired up won’t do any good. They’re all going to the sea, and it’s too far for me to go.”

“So just watch,” Qiu Wuji said indifferently. “With me here, they won’t have any trouble. These constables are protecting our current lives.”

The moon wanted to give a thumbs-up in approval but realized it had no hands.

“Can you handle this gunfight?” Chu Ge asked. He noticed that most people were using their special abilities, with firearms still being a prominent theme in the battle.

Qiu Wuji observed for a moment and nodded, saying, “The weaponry in the mortal world is indeed formidable… If my true self were to go there, they wouldn’t be able to hurt me, but the clone would still be damaged… However, I can avoid it.”

“You can really dodge bullets? I don’t think you’re that fast,” Chu Ge remarked.

“Once you’ve mastered the body techniques I taught you, you’ll be fast enough to dodge bullets. Of course, your current level is not enough… And it also depends on your reaction speed. If your reaction is slow, then everything is in vain.”

“So you have that reaction speed, right?”

Qiu Wuji said calmly, “I do.”

“Boom!” An explosion sounded from the bow of the ship.

Chu Ge watched the explosion’s fiery light and felt his heart tighten, while Qiu Wuji remained composed.

“So you can dodge it, right?”

“Yes,” Qiu Wuji sighed. “Stop focusing on whether I can dodge these things. I’m not involved in the fight. Shouldn’t you be more concerned about Moon Shadow, who is currently in battle?”

Though she sighed, there was a smile at the corner of Qiu Wuji’s mouth. Chu Ge felt like rolling his eyes, but he let it go.

It’s not that he didn’t care about Moon Shadow, but he thought that Moon Shadow, being a modern person and having received special training, should be more familiar with these things than Qiu Wuji. So he shouldn’t have to worry too much.

As expected, he soon saw a drug lord hiding behind cover and shooting, while a shadow mysteriously stood up behind him. The drug lord didn’t notice and continued shooting. In the next moment, the shadow descended like a knife.

A bloodline appeared on the drug lord’s body, who didn’t even know why he died.

“Swoosh!” A dagger silently stabbed towards Moon Shadow from behind.

She had already sensed it and directly merged with the shadow, disappearing. The opponent retracted the dagger, also disappearing… True invisibility.

The shadows on the deck seemed to carry sound effects as they multiplied. Someone in the void let out a muffled groan, struck by the emptiness of the shadows.

“Invisibility is not the same as disappearing. The person is still there, and an AOE attack will do the trick,” Chu Ge commented.

Qiu Wuji nodded slightly, “I wonder if they can break the invisibility. Otherwise, that guy will escape.”

As she spoke, a warrior shot a beam of light. The person in invisibility let out a scream, the invisibility was broken, and he fell to the ground.

Moon Shadow swiftly flew past, leaving a bloodstain on his throat.

“Tsk, so efficient, a natural-born killer,” Qiu Wuji clicked her tongue. “It’s really contradictory for someone like that to enter the constabulary. Oh? There’s a rat.”

As she spoke, someone quietly approached from behind the shore where Qiu Wuji was hiding, holding a gun. It’s one of the drug lord’s accomplices on the shore!

There’s a girl who’s alone here. If they can capture her as a hostage, things will go smoothly, right? A malicious intent flashed in the drug lord’s eyes. Suddenly, he flashed behind Qiu Wuji and pointed his gun at the back of her head. “Don’t move!”

Before he could finish speaking, a large hand from the void slapped down from somewhere, producing a loud “bang,” and the person’s head had turned into a watermelon.

The two accomplices behind him were dumbfounded.

Qiu Wuji turned around with a smile that wasn’t a smile. “Not bad, you’ve helped them. Turns out there are escaped fish hiding on the shore… Come here, all of you!”

Invisible shackles silently locked onto the drug lord’s accomplices. They were horrified to find that they couldn’t control their bodies and were lifted into the air, colliding with each other at high speed.

“Bang!” The two heads collided, and they both fell unconscious.

“Nice skills!” a eerie voice sounded from an unknown source.

Qiu Wuji’s expression turned cold. She released the two captives and swiftly cut through the void in front of her with her delicate hand.

With a muffled sound, a golden arrow appeared at her throat, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. But with a single palm, she cut it across, precisely shooting it down.

Chu Ge was drenched in cold sweat and almost instantly deactivated his transformation ability. He exclaimed, “Who’s there!”

Qiu Wuji also became serious. This golden arrow seemed to have come from a great distance but managed to abruptly appear at her throat. The opponent’s skill in spatial manipulation was truly formidable and extremely difficult to deal with.

Just as she released her consciousness to trace the origin of the golden arrow, a female voice came from mid-air. “The Shadowless Golden Arrow, Soul Chase from Ten Thousand Miles… It’s really you!”

A woman wearing the uniform of the ordinary soldiers from earlier suddenly shot out from the intense battle on the ship. In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the shore, a distance of two to three miles away from Qiu Wuji. The air was filled with the sound of rocks breaking as a figure disappeared into the distance.

The female warrior slammed her palm, causing the rocks to explode and fall around the area, forming a strange spatial confinement.

The figure within the pile of rocks tried to break free but couldn’t escape the enclosure. With a stern shout, he flew into the air to meet the female warrior head-on. The surging distortion of space rose into the sky, confronting the female warrior’s mighty spatial condensation.

“Boom!” A deafening explosion occurred, and the smoke filled the air, overshadowing the flames of battle on the ship.

Qiu Wuji tensed her entire body. These two individuals were incredibly powerful, and it seemed like a battle of immortals was about to take place! She hadn’t noticed this female warrior before. Was she lurking among the ordinary soldiers specifically to ambush the person with the golden arrow?

The sounds of the battle were getting closer and soon reached Qiu Wuji’s location. She held a spell in her hand, her gaze fixed on the site of the battle.

Chu Ge had his mouth open for quite some time, seemingly shocked by the intense situation.

Qiu Wuji’s judgment of the situation was beyond what Chu Ge could compare. She keenly sensed that the person with the golden arrow most likely saw Qiu Wuji as a relatively easy target, attempting to capture her as a hostage. However, the female warrior displayed a cruel disregard for all other lives, as if she didn’t care if she herself died in the process. Her attacks were all area-based, and she paid no attention to potential collateral damage.

Qiu Wuji felt annoyed and condensed a powerful spell in her hand.

Chu Ge saw the phantom image of a flying sword appearing in front of her, seemingly depicting an endless expanse of autumn water, sweeping away everything in its path.

“Autumn Water’s Endless Expanse?” As the creator of these skills, Chu Ge understood it too well. He instantly snapped back to reality and hurriedly shouted, “Your attack is area-based. Do you want to include both of them in the assault?”

Qiu Wuji replied coldly, “That woman might not have good intentions… What’s wrong with me attacking her? She’s so powerful, she might not even get hurt.”

“No, don’t attack her!”

Qiu Wuji became displeased. “Hey, whose side are you on? She doesn’t seem to have good intentions towards me. Why should I go easy on her just because she’s from the agency?”

Seeing that Qiu Wuji was about to unleash her powerful attack, Chu Ge grew anxious and started sweating. “No, she can’t possibly have any ill intentions towards you! Trust me!”

Qiu Wuji responded coldly, “Give me a reason.”

Chu Ge exclaimed loudly, “That’s our mother!”

Qiu Wuji’s initial reaction was to curse and wonder what nonsense he was talking about. She didn’t have a mother, so what was he saying?

Wait… That’s your mother?

Qiu Wuji’s hand trembled, causing the sword to deviate, almost causing her to lose her composure.
