Peach Garden

At the same time, the same notification appeared in the narration beside the projection, and the perspective shifted to Ma Feifei. This time, there was no pixelation, and everyone could see Ma Feifei's appearance clearly.

On the leaderboard, the NPC's name changed to "Owner of the Mysterious Bookstore" in large letters; in an instant, everyone knew Ma Feifei's identity.

But that wasn't the end of it. Immediately following, another piece of information surfaced in the minds of Ma Feifei and the thousand cultivators.

Find the hiding place of the Mysterious Bookstore Owner and capture him. Touching any part of his body will earn you points. If you successfully capture him, you will obtain all the points he possesses. (Note: The Mysterious Bookstore Owner is currently known to have 1,500 points.)

This time, Ma Feifei wasn't just confused, she was dumbfounded.

"Why is it such a big deal that I just cut down a tree! You'd even turn against my own teammate for the greater good!" Ma Feifei looked at Chang'e with a mournful face.

It's all because of this woman! If it weren't for her, she wouldn't be wanted by the police. She's so annoying...

Chang'e looked at Ma Feifei expressionlessly and said, "You only have a quarter of an hour to escape."

"..."

Why did those words sound so infuriating? Ma Feifei immediately raised his Mountain-Splitting Axe, ready to fight Chang'e for three hundred rounds.

"Shopkeeper!" Azi ran out of the pavilion.

Ma Feifei immediately held the Mountain-Splitting Axe upright in front of his chest and shouted, "Stop!"

"Shopkeeper, it's me, Azi. What do you want?" Azi looked at Ma Feifei with a blank expression and asked.

"Heh~" Ma Feifei sneered at Azi and said, "No wonder my mother always says that the most beautiful women in the world are the best liars. Look at her, she doesn't even blink."

"What are you saying, shopkeeper!" Azi said, sounding aggrieved, poking each other with her two index fingers.

Ma Feifei curled her lip, waved the Mountain-Splitting Axe in her hand, and said, "Alright, stop pretending in front of me, I know everything."

Upon hearing this, Azi couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said shyly, "So you received the message too, shop owner!"

Ma Feifei stared speechlessly at Azi. He really wanted to yell at her, "Damn it, Laozi all the shops. Isn't it normal for me to receive this message?!"

However, Ma Feifei was too embarrassed to say it aloud, because he felt it was a bit shameful. As the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, he was being wanted by his own store—where could he possibly seek justice?

Enough said, let's hurry and run...

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei glanced at Chang'e, then turned and ran out of the Guanghan Palace.

Upon seeing this, Azi Stomping Tantrum and chased after him, shouting as she ran, "Shopkeeper, don't run away... Azi is with you!"

Near the Yaochi in Heavenly Court, in the Peach Garden.

As the name suggests, this garden is planted with Peach of Immortality.

The Peach Garden is very large, with a total of 3,333 Peach Tree. The Peach Tree bloom, bear fruit, and ripen every 3,000 years.

Legend has it that mortals who eat the Peach of Immortality can Longevity and Immortality, while immortals who eat them will gain boundless Dharma Power.

"That's all nonsense." Ma Feifei hid in a Peach Tree, holding a big, red Peach of Immortality and taking a big bite, saying indistinctly.

From the moment he was put on the wanted list, Ma Feifei had been chased for about two hours in the world of the book, and his legs were almost broken from running.

After finally making it into the Peach Garden, they found a place to rest and eat some of the legendary Peach of Immortality to quench their thirst. However, Ma Feifei discovered that these Peach of Immortality were no different from ordinary peaches, except that they were bigger and tastier. All the talk about them becoming immortals or having boundless Dharma Power was just nonsense.

"Shopkeeper..." Suddenly, a soft voice called out from inside the garden.

Ma Feifei was speechless for a moment.

Azi quietly walked through the Peach Garden, searching everywhere for Ma Feifei's figure, calling out softly as she went, "Shopkeeper, I know you're in there, please come out quickly."

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, Azi definitely won't grab you. Just let Azi touch you a few times and drink some soup."

"..."

"You're crazy!" Ma Feifei rolled his eyes, stopped eating the peach, and shrank back to better hide under the huge Peach Tree. He had finally found a hiding place, and he didn't want to be caught by Azi.

'Ding~ One bitten Peach of Immortality detected. Would you like to exchange it for points?'

Suddenly, the system emitted a notification sound, startling Ma Feifei.

Looking at the large, red Peach of Immortality in his arms, which he had already taken several bites of, he subconsciously chose to agree in his heart.

'Ding~ Five points earned.'

"Wow... this works too?" Ma Feifei was surprised when she heard the system notification that she had earned points. She then reached out and picked another Peach of Immortality from above her head.

'Ding~ 1 Peach of Immortality detected. Would you like to exchange it for points?'

Since Ma Feifei hadn't bitten into the Peach of Immortality this time, there was no indication that it was a rotten Peach of Immortality, and Ma Feifei chose to agree.

'Ding~ You have earned ten points.'

Ma Feifei glanced at his score and saw that he had reached 1,515 points. He couldn't help but smile slightly.

The Peach Garden, like the Osmanthus Tree, could probably bring him a lot of points.

However, before that, we must deal with this tagalong first, Ma Feifei thought to himself as he looked at Azi wandering around the Peach Garden.

Unlike Azi, the cultivators outside the Bookstore could see their situation through the projection. When they saw Azi occasionally walk past the Peach Tree where Ma Feifei was hiding, everyone would unconsciously tense up; but when they saw Azi and Ma Feifei pass each other, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

"Young Miss is so careless, she couldn't even notice this."

The title "Miss Azi" originated from Gongsun Qiong's transmission of the "trial mission" during his time in the Analects to Mangcang Town. The tens of thousands of unruly people in Mangcang Town called this Azi "Miss," and it has gradually become Azi's second name. Cultivators, whether they know her real name or not, have all started calling her "Miss."

"You can't blame her. This so-called Peach Tree is just too tall and lush. Even if you look up, you might not be able to spot it." A cultivator couldn't help but speak up for Azi.

"That's right, I think the young lady is quite clever. Just now, so many cultivators and immortals were chasing the shopkeeper, and only the young lady cleverly discovered the shopkeeper's whereabouts. That's already quite remarkable." A cultivator nodded in agreement and said.

"Blame the shop owner for being too cunning," an anonymous bystander began to jeer.

"Right!"

As they talked, the topic veered towards Ma Feifei, and a group of people began to criticize Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei didn't care about being criticized anymore; getting rid of Azi and continuing to earn points was the most important thing right now.

"Shopkeeper, if you don't come out, Azi is going to call for help." Azi had been swaying around for a while, and was quite exhausted. She leaned against a Peach Tree and said, panting.

The garden remained silent; no one paid any attention to Azi.

Azi's shout was merely an instinctive reaction; she knew it would have no effect. She subconsciously swallowed, realizing she was a little thirsty.

He looked up at the Peach of Immortality on the tree, tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Eating one shouldn't be a problem, right?"

With a 'whoosh', Azi plucked a Peach of Immortality from the tree, wiped it with her sleeve, opened her little mouth to take a bite, but stopped in mid-air.

"Oh no!" Ma Feifei felt a chill run down her spine when she saw this.
