Path of the Female Emperor
Ma Feifei placed the Tianshu Fragment on a small stool, then squatted down beside it, picked up Ballpoint Pen, and wrote the three characters "Ma Feifei" on the pages.
"It looks like it can be written on." After writing, Ma Feifei found that this Tianshu Fragment was no different from normal paper, and Ballpoint Pen could write on it.
'Ding ding ding~'
Suddenly, tiny points of light flickered on the tattered page, attracting Ma Feifei's attention.
Then Ma Feifei saw that below the three characters 'Ma Feifei', a piece of text gradually appeared.
(Note: The page level is insufficient to retrieve its basic information.)
Immediately afterwards, all the writing on the tattered page disappeared.
"Holy crap! It can even look up other people's information?" Ma Feifei stared at the blank Tianshu Fragment, utterly shocked.
Subconsciously, Ma Feifei wrote the three characters "Yun Qingyang" on it again.
After a moment, the light flickered.
A similar text appears below.
(Note: The page level is insufficient to retrieve its basic information.)
"I'm speechless!" Ma Feifei was dumbfounded. This Tianshu Fragment was far too inadequate; it couldn't even find out basic information about Yun Qingyang.
After thinking for a moment, Ma Feifei waited until the writing faded, Ma Feifei wrote the three characters "Gongsun Qiong" on the tattered page.
As the light flashed, a text appeared below the three characters "Gongsun Qiong".
Name: Gongsun Qiong (Chu Qiongyu)
Age: 31 (Current life expectancy: 145 years)
Aptitude: Possesses perfect aptitude Blessing of the Immortal.
Cultivation level: None
Reading value: 81 (Note: The maximum value is 100; a value of 80 or above will trigger a support task.)
Background: Princess of the Great Chu, President of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, and a loyal reader of the Mysterious Bookstore.
"Tsk tsk!" Ma Feifei looked at Gongsun Qiong's information on the Tianshu Fragment, couldn't help but smack his lips a few times, and said enviously, "I originally thought that you were already amazing as the president of the number one merchant guild in the Great Chu, but I didn't expect you to be hiding an even more amazing identity, the princess of the Great Chu! You're really something else!"
"Oh, and this talent is even more incredible, he actually has the Blessing of the Immortal! It must be the Eye of Wisdom, right?" Ma Feifei couldn't help but exclaim, thinking of Gongsun Qiong's eyes that could Detect everything in the world.
Ma Feifei originally thought he was someone who was hiding a big secret, but now he realizes that none of the people around him are simple or ordinary.
First, there was Yun Qingyang, a descendant of an ancient Frost Giant Dragon.
Now another one has appeared, Gongsun Qiong, a princess of the Chu Kingdom, who also possesses the Blessing of the Immortal; you must know that according to what Zhang Yunji told him back then, those who possess the Blessing of the Immortal are destined to become immortals.
Becoming an immortal basically puts you at the same level as Yun Qingyang.
"And that girl named Liu Ying also has the Blessing of the Immortal, and Zhou Zhuling might too." As Ma Feifei spoke, the look of doubt on his face grew more and more serious. Why did it seem like everyone around him had the Blessing of the Immortal?
Thinking of this, Ma Feifei picked up his pen to write down all the names he had in mind, but found that the writing on the tattered page had not faded this time.
"What's going on?" Ma Feifei was a little confused.
Immediately afterwards, a system notification sounded in my mind.
'Ding~ Because the reader on the torn page meets the conditions for the assistance task, the host needs to help the reader on the torn page complete the assistance task before the writing will fade, and the host can continue to enjoy the special abilities brought by the Tianshu Fragment.'
Ma Feifei listened blankly to the system notification, waited for about a minute, and then asked, "That's it?"
If it's a task to help, then the key question is: what about the task itself?
"This is a support task; it will only be triggered if the reader on the missing page seeks help from the Mysterious Bookstore," the system replied.
"What if they don't ask us for help? Or what if they handle everything themselves?" Ma Feifei asked curiously.
To be honest, Ma Feifei really thought it was possible.
Who is Gongsun Qiong? Putting aside her identity, she is the smartest person Ma Feifei knows, and the fact that she was able to take control of the number one merchant guild in the Great Chu at the age of thirty-something is beyond doubt.
The Path of the Female Emperor may seem difficult, but it may not be so for Gongsun Qiong.
First of all, her status is undeniable; she is a princess of the Chu Kingdom. Her desire to control the Chu Kingdom would certainly not face much opposition. Although there has never been a queen in the Azure Dragon Continent, it doesn't mean that people cannot accept women in power. This can be seen from Gongsun Qiong being the president of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce and Luan Feng, the God of War of the Yan State.
Secondly, Gongsun Qiong has money, Wantong Chamber of Commerce will be her strong backing, providing her with a continuous stream of funds.
With status, money, and Gongsun Qiong's cunning, rising to power wouldn't be too difficult.
"Whether or not the reader seeks help from the Mysterious Bookstore, the assistance task will disappear after the matter is resolved," the system replied leisurely.
Ma Feifei nodded; that made sense. However, he remembered something and asked, "So, here's the question: are there any rewards for assisting with the task?"
"..."
Of course, you can't get a systematic answer to this kind of question.
Ma Feifei could only regretfully put the Tianshu Fragment back into his spatial bag.
"Yun Qingyang, have you finished reading that copy of 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio'? Give it back to me when you're done, it's going to be put on the shelves soon!" Ma Feifei shouted towards Yun Qingyang's room.
Now that "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" is available for purchase, Ma Feifei naturally wants to put it on the shelves to make up for the loss of "The Analects" being burned and to enhance the Bookstore's reputation.
"Whoosh~"
With a whooshing sound, "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" flew out.
Ma Feifei snatched it, glanced at the door that had just closed, and said with a sneer, "Rest in the middle of the day, what a pig."
Unfortunately, Yun Qingyang completely ignored him.
After retrieving "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio a Chinese Studio," Ma Feifei returned to the Bookstore and placed it on the third shelf.
The cultivators reading nearby had already noticed this scene, and they all squinted at the book in Ma Feifei's hand.
"Black..."
"A bit short..."
"It's alright, longer than the last book title, four characters..."
Just as Ma Feifei put down the book and turned around, she found herself surrounded by a crowd of people, all pushing and shoving each other to secure a prime spot to Snatch the black book.
Ma Feifei's expression was serious as she said, "What are you doing? Bookstore is a place where you should read with civilized manners. Don't you think this is damaging to your image?"
"Look at you, why are you grabbing her arm? Are the little girls fighting?"
"And you, what's the meaning of stepping on someone's trouser leg? Who's going to be responsible if they fall and get Stomp to death?"
"You're going even further, with a red buff on you! Who let you in? Didn't it say 'No non-humans allowed' at the door?" Ma Feifei said, pointing at the Stone Man covered in flames.
