"Hey, you really just made it public like that?" Back on the summit of the Main Peak, Chu Ge, who had held his tongue all this time, finally could not help asking.
This was definitely not how the old Qiu Wuji, so desperate to preserve her dignity as sect leader, would have acted. Before, she had clearly loved him to death and tried every position with him in the Mortal World, yet her main self in the book had still insisted on keeping up appearances and remaining pure and innocent. Never mind announcing their relationship before the elders, freely radiating her feminine charm... The elders had all looked as though they had eaten shit, and their gazes at Chu Ge had been hostile in all sorts of ways. Chu Ge suspected they would hack him down if they caught him alone.
Qiu Qiu's behavior really had broken free of her characterization, as well as his "understanding" and "predictions" of her. The man who had once "understood her better than she understood herself" seemed to have lost that ability as she broke free of the Heavenly Dao.
Qiu Wuji's lovely eyes shifted as she looked at him with a smile. "Do you still want to understand me by cheating?"
She gently slipped her arms around Chu Ge's neck, rose onto her toes, and kissed him. "Shouldn't my man truly understand me because we've spent so much time together?"
Chu Ge did not know whether to laugh or cry. "But the you I truly know is also the sort who suffers just to save face."
"Hmph, hmph." Qiu Wuji huffed twice, then sighed. "Maybe I used to be, so I don't blame you..."
Chu Ge was moved to tears. Qiu Qiu was so good to him.
Someone more difficult could have argued
