My Golden Finger Has Arrived, and I Transmigrated into a Novel for Women?
Pure Void Sect, Supreme Mystery Peak.
"I've finally formed my core! I'm a Golden Core cultivator now too!" Qin Chuan shouted excitedly. Then his head lolled to one side, and he fainted in his cave abode.
At the same time, a white-haired woman in plain robes appeared beside Qin Chuan, her exquisitely beautiful face full of concern.
The woman carefully examined Qin Chuan. Only after confirming that he had merely exhausted himself and fallen asleep after his breakthrough did she relax.
The woman was Qin Chuan's master, Shen Qingyuan, the Pure Void Sect's Glazed Glass Immortal Venerable and one of the only three late-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivators remaining among the human race.
Shen Qingyuan gazed at Qin Chuan, a complex look in her eyes. In the end, emotion overcame reason, and she bent down toward him. But just as her lips were about to touch his cheek, reason returned, and she stopped.
After a long while, she sighed and moved away from Qin Chuan. She merely placed a hand on his cheek and gently, carefully traced the contours of his face, over and over again.
"Chuan'er, I am your master, and you are only my disciple. As your master... what am I to do with you..."
Shen Qingyuan's hand moved down from Qin Chuan's face. When she touched his collarbone, an indistinct emotion colored her eyes.
Suddenly, she jerked her hand away from Qin Chuan's collarbone and vanished from his cave abode.
In fact, Qin Chuan had not fainted. His golden finger had arrived, and he had been pulled into a special space.
After Qin Chuan collapsed, his soul found itself in a pitch-black space. Other than himself, there was no one and nothing else.
So he shouted, "Hey, where is this? Is anybody there!?"
"Why is it so dark? I'm still a child, and I'm afraid of the dark!"
"If anyone's there, could you make a peep?"
"Do you get pulled into a special space when you form your core? I don't remember that happening."
Then it occurred to Qin Chuan that someone might be trying to harm him. He grew wary and stopped shouting, paying attention to his surroundings instead. But it was so dark he could not see his own hand in front of his face; all he could see was blackness.
"I can't use my soul, and none of my methods work." When Qin Chuan discovered that he could not use any of his methods, his expression changed in an instant. Dropping his act as a complete fool, he scanned his surroundings on guard.
Just then, the space around him lit up, and a large screen appeared before Qin Chuan. A childish voice rang out as well, first making a peep.
"Peep, peep, peep!!!"
"My friend from Blue Star, sorry, I had a little accident earlier, so I'm late."
Blue Star!?
Hearing those two words, Qin Chuan became even more vigilant. He had not told anyone that he came from Blue Star and was from another world. How did this unknown thing know?
Danger! Danger! Danger!
Someone knew his greatest secret. Qin Chuan was already thinking about what other methods he still had and how he could deal with this unknown thing before him.
The unknown thing also noticed the wariness and killing intent in Qin Chuan's eyes and hurriedly said, "I mean you no harm. I'm here to help you. I'm your golden finger."
"Why are you helping me?" Qin Chuan continued to stare warily at the screen before him. He did not believe that pies fell from the sky.
"Because you came from Blue Star, and so did I. It's complicated. Will you let me explain it slowly?" the childish voice rang out again.
After a moment's thought, Qin Chuan slowly nodded at the screen. "All right, go ahead."
But the wariness in his eyes did not lessen, nor did he change his attacking stance.
"This is really the first time I've met a Blue Star person like you," the childish voice muttered softly, before slowly recounting its origins.
"My name is Qiuqiu. I'm from the same place as you: Blue Star."
"I was created by the Will of Blue Star specifically to help you. Um... to help innocent Blue Star people like you who were innocently caught up in low-dimensional worlds. To put it in terms you'll understand, I'm your golden finger."
"The Will of Blue Star? Low-dimensional? What are all those things? I don't understand. Explain it more carefully," Qin Chuan interrupted Qiuqiu.
"Uh... well..." Qiuqiu paused for a while, as if thinking, before continuing, "Simply put, Blue Star is a higher world, while this novel for women that you're in now is a lower novel world."
"Lower novel worlds aren't what you used to think they were, either. It refers to how complete the laws of the Great Dao are. That's hard for me to explain to you. You'll understand when your cultivation reaches that level."
"Wait, I'm in a novel for women? I didn't just transmigrate, I transmigrated into a book?" Qin Chuan interrupted Qiuqiu again.
"Yes. You were pulled here by a lower novel world." As Qiuqiu answered Qin Chuan, a novel cover appeared on the screen in front of him.
On the cover, a wickedly charming, arrogantly unrestrained man with two dragon horns on his head held a beautiful woman in his arms. Several large characters were prominently printed above them:
"After Rebirth, I Was Forcibly Doted On by the Demon Venerable"
Qin Chuan did not know what words to use to describe how he felt upon seeing the cover. Perhaps he could only slowly pick out three question marks.
???
Qiuqiu said nothing either. They faced each other in silence, until Qin Chuan was the first to recover and say, "Um... Qiuqiu, right? Go on."
"Then I'll continue. Sigh, I'd better come out in my true form to talk to you. It'll seem more sincere, so you won't keep thinking about how to deal with me." Qiuqiu appeared in person, taking the form of a round, roly-poly panda cub.
The moment he saw the panda, Qin Chuan believed that Qiuqiu was from Blue Star. He also breathed a quiet sigh of relief. In all likelihood, he was not going to die. Half the danger had passed.
Qiuqiu continued speaking, and its words scrolled across the screen as well.
"You're currently in the world of this novel for women, and I'm the golden finger the Will of Blue Star sent you."
"Why would Blue Star send me a golden finger?" Qin Chuan immediately asked.
"Because you're a resident of Blue Star, a child of Blue Star." Qiuqiu said it so naturally and readily that Qin Chuan believed it without realizing it.
"Hmph, these lower novel worlds are always pulling Blue Star residents into their worlds and making them cannon fodder."
"How could the Will of Blue Star just watch its children being bullied? So I was born." Qiuqiu planted its hands on its nonexistent waist, puffed up with anger, its tone also tinged with indignation.
Then it continued viciously, "After they pull Blue Star residents in, they give their favored male and female leads all kinds of cheats, like rebirth, systems, mind reading, and so on."
"The Will of Blue Star won't be outdone. Hmph, don't worry, I have lots of cheats too. You can pick one in a bit."
Qin Chuan was still carefully analyzing what Qiuqiu had said. Having read many novels on Blue Star, he had a rough understanding of his predicament, so he posed Qiuqiu a soul-searching question: "Qiuqiu, why did I transmigrate into a novel for women? And why did I turn into a seven-year-old child when I came here? Also, why did you only show up now?"
"There must have been a little accident during the transmigration. That's perfectly normal," Qiuqiu explained seriously.
"As for why I only came now, it was all because the last Blue Star person had so much fucking nonsense going on and delayed me. I'm really fed up with her. She asked the same question eight hundred times and kept holding me back, refusing to let me leave. Whenever I tried to go, she'd cry. She was so annoying..."
Once Qiuqiu began complaining, the words poured out in an endless stream. Qin Chuan did not interrupt, but listened quietly.
The more one spoke, the more likely one was to slip up. He needed to extract useful information from Qiuqiu's complaints to determine whether what it had said was true.
