What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 279: Hongfa Temple, Fire Lotus Platform



Qiu Wuji listened and felt that her recently recovered physical state was starting to weaken again.

This man had become more and more skilled. In the past, he often made remarks that infuriated people, but now, they were few and far between. Before, when he imitated the characters from his own books, it felt awkward and cringe-worthy, but not anymore.

The words were still cheesy, but it was all about timing and atmosphere, which gave a different impression.

Of course, it also depended on the mood of the listener.

Qiu Wuji thought; I’m almost completely influenced by him, not even resembling my old self. But he’s changed too. The Chu Ge now is not the Chu Ge from back then.

If he were to go on a blind date now, he definitely wouldn’t get eliminated at first sight.

Everyone is changing. Yes, they’ve gone from a youthful first love to talking about marriage.

Conquering the whole world, as a gift for you.

Considering their current situation, it could indeed be explained that way.

Qiu Wuji’s eyes shimmered with a hint of tenderness, and her actions of hitting him without thinking turned into gentle caresses. “You really know how to say sweet things… This time, didn’t you come here to check on the Little Flame?”

Chu Ge smiled and said, “Even a man as fierce as Yan Qianli has a softer side. Isn’t this world even more beautiful?”

Qiu Wuji whispered, “I thought you were just doing a favor.”

“It’s partly that, but not the main reason. I genuinely want to help him. Actually, if you talk about doing favors, someone like Yan Qianli might not appreciate it. To the demonic path, favors and debts are like pieces of scrap paper.”

Qiu Wuji replied calmly, “Not necessarily.”

“Hmm?”

“These past few days, I’ve been talking to the queen and asked her how to prevent the people from rebelling. Guess what she said?”

“By providing for their livelihoods? Ensuring they have food to eat and can make a living would prevent them from rebelling.”

Qiu Wuji shook her head and sighed softly. “She said, ‘Give them a home.'”

Chu Ge was stunned for a moment and then pondered deeply.

He hadn’t delved into further analysis. In fact, it was the same even when he was writing the book. Now, writing about Chu Tiange was easier because he had fewer constraints and worries. The feedback in the plot was more unrestrained, especially overseas where there were no worries. Writing whatever he wanted was no issue. But if there was a female lead involved, there would be more things to consider, and the writing would become slower.

For Yan Qianli to have a home…have someone to love…

He remained silent for a while and then shook his head. “I genuinely want to help him this time, and I don’t want to make this matter utilitarian. Let’s go, shall we check on him?”

“Sure.” Qiu Wuji didn’t say much and reached out to hold his hand.

Sometimes, Creator God needed to descend with his entourage with just a thought. They had to hold hands. It couldn’t be helped; it wasn’t that I wanted to hold hands with him in the book…

….

Flameheart Palace

The Little Flame… Oh no, now he has become a robust man.

Yan Qianli had refined the Red Flame Dragon Bone as the foundation of his Dao body. After integrating other precious materials collected by his subordinates over this period, he had successfully forged a completely new Dao body.

The new body was crafted according to his personal aesthetics, a typical muscular and imposing figure, with fiery red hair, bronze-like eyes, exuding a dignified and fiery aura. His upper body was bare, and his tanned skin bore intricate patterns, resembling a flaming red dragon, radiating a domineering presence.

Surrounding him, a group of Fire Prison Sect subordinates knelt down, chanting, “We respectfully welcome the return of our lord’s Dao body, the Holy Flame shines brightly…”

“Stop.” Yan Qianli waved his hand to interrupt them. He couldn’t stand the flattery anymore, especially things like “Holy Flame shines brightly.” It was the same as when he was outside doing his Little Flame alchemy routine, and that idiot Heavenly Dao kept calling it the “Holy Flame Meow Meow Cult.” Those times were truly the most humiliating of his life.

What was even more infuriating was—

“I don’t need your flattery. Just focus on getting things done! Confirm once again, the Fire Lotus Platform, is it in the Hongfa Temple?”

“Reporting to the Lord, yes, the item is indeed in the Hongfa Temple.”

“Damn it!” Yan Qianli erupted in anger. “That’s a sacred place in the Buddhist realm! How is it any different from attacking the Cloud Horizon Sect? Is the damn Heavenly Dao playing tricks on me?”

Boom! Magma erupted, and flames spewed forth, turning the cave into a fiery inferno.

His subordinates fell silent, frozen in fear.

“Last time, I caught that little brat who intruded here recklessly, but I was too busy to notice, and he escaped. The next time you see him, capture him alive and bring him to me, no mercy!”

“Yes!” The subordinates replied resolutely.

“Damn it…” Yan Qianli cursed angrily, then suddenly his expression changed. “You can all leave now. Let me be alone for a while.”

His subordinates retreated, trembling in fear.

After rebuilding his Dao body, the Lord’s strength had increased, but he had also become more unpredictable and capricious. Often, no one knew what he was cursing or getting angry about.

Flameheart Palace was empty in an instant, and Yan Qianli crossed his arms, staring coldly into the void.

Ripples spread in the empty space, and Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji descended gracefully.

“Qianqian, what made you so angry?”

Yan Qianli sneered, “If you don’t want to help me resurrect someone, just say it. What’s the meaning of placing the essential resurrection item in the Hongfa Temple?”

Chu Ge smiled, “You’ve misunderstood me. First of all, your storyline is already completed, which means that within the destined plot, you’re supposed to obtain this item. What are you afraid of?”

Yan Qianli’s fiery aura shrank slightly, and he became a bit cautious. “Is that true?”

“Why would I deceive you?” Chu Ge said, “Secondly, the so-called way of heaven doesn’t allow things to happen haphazardly. You should know that I have to follow a logical progression. Reviving someone who has been dead for thousands of years should have some difficulty; otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense. Items like this, related to the Buddhist Fire Lotus Platform, also fit the logical setting. Are you, Yan Qianli, afraid of the Buddhist monks?”

“Afraid? Of course not. I’m just concerned about the high difficulty, worried about any setbacks…” Yan Qianli’s voice lowered as he spoke; Setbacks? What setbacks? The Heavenly Dao has already said it will succeed.

So, why worry?

Thinking this, Yan Qianli immediately changed his tone, “In that case, I’ll immediately head to the Hongfa Temple and make those bald donkeys hand over the lotus platform!”

“No need for that,” Chu Ge said with a sly smile, “In the book, I didn’t detail how you got the lotus platform; I only mentioned in passing, ‘It is said that Yan Qianli visited the Hongfa Temple at night and somehow took away the Fire Lotus Platform.’ Do you understand what that means?”

Yan Qianli’s expression changed.

“It means it can unfold in any form, beyond my writing.” Chu Ge added thoughtfully, “I’ve been worrying about how this plot will evolve, but it seems it hasn’t even started yet…”

Yan Qianli looked at Qiu Wuji, and in fact, he trusted Qiu Wuji not to make things up. The plot really hadn’t started yet?

Qiu Wuji nodded, confirming it.

Yan Qianli breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Heavenly Dao present, any unfinished matter was infused with immeasurable confidence. He had to admit that.

Chu Ge said, “Now, this situation also means that both Qiuqiu and I can participate in this matter and help you. How about it?”

Yan Qianli was overjoyed, and the surrounding flames disappeared completely, “That’s the best…”

Chu Ge glanced at him, “I heard you ordered people to capture a fleeing kid?”

“No, no, it was a misunderstanding. I immediately told them not to do that,” Yan Qianli said with a forced smile. “It’s an honor for the faithful Fire Prison Sect to receive the presence of the esteemed Creator God…”

Qiu Wuji rolled her eyes.

“You see, it’s not suitable to be shirtless; even Qiuqiu can’t stand it,” Chu Ge remarked.

Was it because of that, or was it because she couldn’t stand me bowing and scraping? Yan Qianli swallowed his pride and quickly retrieved a set of bright red flame robes from his ring, saying, “I’ll put on these robes…”

“Wait a minute,” Chu Ge said. “I know you have the ‘Flames of a Thousand Realms’ technique, which allows you to transform into a flame form.”

“Yes, I do. Of course, Creator God is well-informed…”

“So, I don’t like the way you look now. Turn into a little flame.”

Yan Qianli transformed into a cluster of small flames and grinned sheepishly, “Like this?”

Chu Ge picked up the little flame, “Let’s go to the Hongfa Temple.”
