"Help!"

"Murder..."

"Please, someone help me...!"

"I am Ma Feifei, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore. If you help me hold off the assassins behind me, I will reward you handsomely in the future!"

The long street was filled with Ma Feifei's shouts.

Passersby initially wanted to help, but upon seeing Yun Qingyang carrying a dark red longsword behind Ma Feifei, they instantly abandoned their thoughts, pretended not to hear Ma Feifei's shouts, and hurried away from the scene.

"Qingyang, let's talk this out. Why are you resorting to knives and swords?" Ma Feifei shouted as he ran.

"Isn't it good to be alive?" Yun Qingyang said coldly from behind.

Neither of them used Spiritual Power, relying solely on their physical abilities to catch up. However, the dragon's physique was clearly superior to Ma Feifei's. The distance between them was now less than five meters. Yun Qingyang's outstretched hand and longsword combined Jidu pierce Ma Feifei's back.

"I didn't do anything..." Ma Feifei cried out, looking up at the sky, but then his face suddenly contorted, and he ran to a nearby tree: 'Ugh~'

He threw up everything he ate tonight...

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?"

Just then, Zhang Yunji and his family walked over. Seeing their boss in this state, Zhang Yunji knew he couldn't miss this opportunity to make a name for himself. He quickly exclaimed in surprise, ran up, and asked with concern.

Ma Feifei waved his hand, took out a water bottle from his spatial bag, rinsed his mouth, and then said, "It's nothing, I just feel a little nauseous."

After speaking, Ma Feifei glanced at Yun Qingyang, who was standing not far away. She did not chase after him, and her Qingshuang Sword was already sheathed.

"Teacher, are you alright?" At this moment, Chang Kong and Liu Ying also came up and asked with concern.

Whether it was the Chang Kong, the Liu Ying, or the Baili Chuxue, everyone in the Zhang Clan, except for Zhang Yunji who still called Ma Feifei "shop owner" because he was an employee, called Ma Feifei "teacher".

They didn't care about the generational hierarchy; they just handed over their own things.

"Where are you all going so late at night?" Ma Feifei shook her head and asked curiously.

It's around 10 PM now. According to the daily routine of people in this world, most people have already entered a state of sleep or Calm Mind. Even brothels like the Yihong Tower have begun their business...

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunji explained, "We are planning to go to President Gongsun's residence to inquire about the Pokémon Championship."

"What's wrong?" Ma Feifei leaned against the tree, looking at Zhang Yunji and the other two, and asked in confusion.

At that moment, Zhang Yunji recounted how the little Liu Ying sprite, Jigglypuff, was reported by other contestants for using his Sing to Hypnosis.

Ma Feifei listened attentively and laughed, "What's there to ask about? As long as it doesn't violate the rules, even if Jigglypuff Hypnosis the referee, it's fine."

Pokémon are inherently very special; each Pokémon possesses unique abilities. Some Pokémon are not naturally suited for battle, but these Pokémon receive enhancements in other areas, such as Jigglypuff.

Jigglypuff is a Pokémon with no fighting ability, but in Pokémon, Jigglypuff has even defeated Divine Beast.

Of course, this kind of "drying" only puts the Pokémon to Hypnosis and cannot actually harm other Pokémon.

This is what they mean when they say that when God closes a door, he opens a window.

In a true sense, sprites do not have different ranks or levels.

Therefore, whether considering the special nature of Pokémon or the rules of the competition, Jigglypuff's behavior is permitted.

Sing to Hypnosis is its skill, its attack method, and it's no different from the Beast Skill learned by other fighting-type Pokémon.

However, this Hypnosis is a bit too strong...

Hearing Ma Feifei say this, Zhang Yunji and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ma Feifei was the initiator of this competition, and since he said there was no problem, then there definitely wouldn't be any problem, so they didn't need to bother Gongsun Qiong anymore.

"Shopkeeper, shall we take you home?" Zhang Yunji had noticed that Ma Feifei had vomited earlier and assumed he was feeling unwell, so he wanted to show his support.

Ma Feifei leaned against a big tree, glanced at Yun Qingyang upon hearing this, and found her holding the Qingshuang Sword and gazing at the sky.

"It's alright, I have Qingyang. You guys go back quickly. Liu Ying has a competition tomorrow, so you need to be well-rested," Ma Feifei waved his hand and said.

Ma Feifei did want them to take her home, at least to ensure she wouldn't get beaten up along the way, but thinking that she might escape the first day of the month but not the fifteenth, Ma Feifei ultimately gave up on the idea.

"Alright, then we'll head back first." Zhang Yunji, Chang Kong, Liu Ying all saluted Ma Feifei.

After bowing, Zhang Yunji and the other two looked up and found that Ma Feifei was gone, leaving only a tree.

"Hmm?" Chang Kong frowned and subconsciously asked, "Is there such a tree on this street?"

Just as Zhang Yunji was about to reply, a cold voice suddenly came from behind. "Get out of the way!"

Immediately following was a powerful sword aura that surged forth.

Chang Kong's expression changed drastically. He grabbed Zhang Yunji and Liu Ying and they vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Whoosh~"

A flash of sword light, and the tree in front of them was instantly cleaved in two.

A bright red hole appeared where the big tree had been.

'Thump~'

'Thump~'

Faintly, one could feel the hole throbbing, making a soft 'plop' sound.

Holding the Qingshuang Sword, Yun Qingyang strode in with a murderous aura, freezing everything in her path.

"What happened?" Zhang Yunji and Liu Ying were teleported fifty meters away by Chang Kong. They were a little confused when they saw what had just happened.

Chang Kong frowned and said, "The shop owner might be in danger. I'll go in and check on him. You all go back first."

After saying that, Chang Kong got up and walked towards the bright red cave entrance.

"Master, please take me with you!" Liu Ying caught up and pleaded, "Master, my Jigglypuff is amazing!"

Zhang Yunji followed and said, "As a clerk at the Mysterious Bookstore, how can I stand idly by when I see the owner in trouble?"

Chang Kong glanced at the two of them, shook his head, and said, "You two are slippery."

Zhang Yunji and Liu Ying chuckled upon hearing this.

Who is the most valuable person in Dubian Town?

Ma Feifei!

Where do you most want to go?

Mysterious Bookstore!

Who is the most powerful person in Dubian Town?

Yun Qingyang!

Who came to the Mysterious Bookstore? Ma Feifei!

Whose daughter is Yun Qingyang? Ma Feifei!

Now, Ma Feifei is in danger, and the most powerful person is scouting ahead. What should be done in this situation?

"Follow him, and sacrifice yourselves to save our lord! To show your loyalty!"

"Let's go!" Chang Kong waved his hand, gripped his long sword, and took the lead into the cave entrance.

Zhang Yunji and Liu Ying also drew their spirit swords and followed.
