Making It Rain over Great Qin (Two-in-One)

After hearing the newly released mission from the system, Ma Feifei finally realized that he had encountered a charlatan. However, this charlatan's identity was quite high; he was actually the head of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion and even had connections with Qin Shi Huang.

"It's related to Qin Shi Huang..." Ma Feifei looked at Jing Xing, who was wearing a tattered dark gray robe, and fell into deep thought.

Ma Feifei recalled the Main Quest prompt the system gave him when he stepped into that portal...

'Pop~'

At that moment, the three masked men in black shattered the formation almost simultaneously, transforming into streaks of light and rushing towards Jing Xing.

"Chang Kong, save him!" Ma Feifei finally decided to save the Heavenly Machine Pavilion Master.

It wasn't that I was scared by the charlatan's words, but rather because of the system's Side Quest and the Main Quest.

Chang Kong had been on guard against the four people who had suddenly appeared. Upon hearing Ma Feifei's words, a fluorescent light gathered in his hand hidden in his long sleeve. He then cleaved the hand horizontally with his palm, transforming it into a stream of light that struck the three people.

'Pfft~'

The three were completely unable to resist the Spirit Saint's attack. Even with all their might, the light still Infiltrator their bodies, sending them flying.

'Bang~'

It slams into the ground or wall, spitting out blood.

Faced with Chang Kong's attack, the three of them struggled to their feet and coldly stared at Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei felt annoyed by the stares and couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you looking at me? It wasn't me who hit you..."

The three people opposite almost choked on their breath when they heard Ma Feifei's words; blood rushed to their throats, clearly they were provoked.

"Do you know who he is? How dare you save him?" a man in black said coldly, his tone low and menacing.

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei pursed her lips, glanced at Jing Xing, and said, "Who he is is not important. What's important is that I want to save him. If you're not satisfied, then fight. Who are you trying to scare?"

Not to mention the Mysterious Bookstore's invincible power, Ma Feifei himself is already a powerful figure at the Spirit Emperor Ninth Stage. Three cultivators at the Spirit Venerable realm couldn't even withstand a single move from him. Under these circumstances, if Ma Feifei still backs down, he would truly be an incapable ruler.

Upon hearing this, the three masked men in black exchanged glances, their faces expressionless, though their eyes held a hint of anger.

"Do you own this shop?" a masked man in black asked in a warning tone.

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei was both angry and amused; this was a veiled threat against him!

He walked towards the Bookstore entrance, stood on the steps, and looked at the three people, saying, "Come on, go call someone. If I leave through this door, I'll consider it a loss!"

The three fell silent for a moment, exchanged a glance, and ultimately chose to retreat.

"Thank you for saving my life, young brother." Jing Xing had been observing coldly, smiled and clasped his hands in thanks to Ma Feifei as the masked man in black left.

Ma Feifei chuckled and said, "As the saying goes, 'One should draw one's sword to help when one sees injustice on the road,' sir, you don't need to be so polite."

Upon hearing this, Jing Xing's smile vanished instantly, replaced by an awkward laugh, "Young man, you're quite witty."

Ma Feifei waved his hand and asked curiously, "Uncle, you just said that my forehead is dark and my spirit is scattered. Do you know if there is a way to resolve this?"

Ma Feifei followed Jing Xing's lead not because she trusted Jing Xing, but simply because she wanted to get closer to Jing Xing and complete the Side Quest.

But Jing Xing had no idea! He still thought Ma Feifei had saved him because of what she had just said. When Ma Feifei asked about it, the awkward smile on his face instantly turned into a natural one. He adopted a sage-like demeanor, stroking his beard with his back to his shoulder, and said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed..."

Ma Feifei was immediately speechless. "I'll reveal your secret, my foot! This charlatan really thinks he's something special."

"Chang Kong, bring him here." Ma Feifei waved his hand and shouted sharply.

"Whoosh~"

Chang Kong a leap, Chang Kong grabbed Chang Kong Jing Xing like a chick and brought him to Ma Feifei.

"Ouch... it hurts..." Jing Xing grabbed Chang Kong's arm that was pinching the back of his neck with both hands, his face contorted in pain, his beard trembling and flying up.

"Come on, sit here." Ma Feifei plopped down on the steps and patted the ground beside him as he spoke.

Chang Kong let go of Jing Xing's hand, and Jing Xing rubbed his neck as he prepared to sit down next to Ma Feifei.

Unexpectedly, Ma Feifei blocked her way, saying, "For safety's sake, Chang Kong, you sit in the middle, and he sits on the far outside."

Jing Xing paused for a moment, then looked at Ma Feifei and said, "Young man, I have no ill intentions towards you."

Ma Feifei dismissed it, saying, "Who knows? And stop with the nonsense, just tell me how to break this ominous sign."

Jing Xing had no choice but to sit on the outermost side as instructed, frowning as he replied, "Young brother... this is a secret of heaven; if I were to reveal it, I would be punished by the heavens."

Ma Feifei raised an eyebrow. This guy wants something in return! Sure enough, all charlatans are in the same boat, so cunning.

However, it's impossible to gain any benefit from Ma Feifei.

"Didn't you say I was your savior? You should understand the principle of repaying kindness, right? Now that I'm in trouble, it's your turn to repay me."

"Uh..." Jing Xing was momentarily speechless at Ma Feifei's words; what she said made perfect sense...

"You're not kidding me, are you?" Ma Feifei teased Jing Xing slightly when he didn't speak.

Upon Jing Xing that Ma Feifei actually thought he was a fraud, Jing Xing couldn't hold back any longer and said, "How could I, the dignified head of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, a new generation of Profound Heavenly Master and Divine Physiognomist, possibly deceive you, young brother!"

Ma Feifei quickly stopped him, saying, "What's the point of listing so many titles? Even if you were Qin Shi Huang, I'd still think you're a fraud if you didn't give a reason."

Jing Xing looked at Ma Feifei with a serious expression. His deep eyes were like a vast starry sky, making Ma Feifei lose her composure.

"He's got some skills!" Ma Feifei thought to himself as he looked at Jing Xing.

However, Ma Feifei felt uncomfortable being stared at like that and was about to say something to him when Jing Xing spoke up, "Young man, your so-called ominous sign can be summarized in four words."

"Which four characters?" Ma Feifei asked curiously.

"The place is fraught with danger!" Jing Xing said with a serious expression.

"..." Ma Feifei was speechless. This is what they call a terrible omen?

However, Jing Xing didn't finish his sentence. He continued, "Actually, this is just a temporary crisis. I noticed that you are surrounded by beauties, so you must be quite popular with them."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei was overjoyed and exclaimed happily, "Master Jing is truly a genius! You saw through that!"

Damn it, finally someone noticed how many beautiful women are around Laozi!

Despite Ma Feifei's smile, Jing Xing still frowned, shook his head, and sighed.

Ma Feifei was taken aback and asked curiously, "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Jing Xing hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's just that young brother, you have very little yang energy in your body. The fragrance of flowers can only surround you but cannot enter your body, which is truly a pity..."

"What do you mean?" Ma Feifei's face immediately fell.

"Forgive my bluntness, young man, but you have insufficient Yang energy, which is kidney deficiency. If you cannot resolve this issue, I fear you will end up alone!"

Ma Feifei and Chang Kong stared at Jing Xing in shock. This guy actually said the words "lonely old age"!

"Could this guy really be capable?" Ma Feifei wondered to himself.

"Growing old alone" is the answer to the quiz given by the system, and Jing Xing Ma Feifei is certain that she has never met Jing Xing, so they definitely don't know each other; since they don't know each other, it's almost impossible to guess the answer correctly; eliminating all of this, the only thing that can be said is that this guy does have something special.

Jing Xing watched Ma Feifei and Chang Kong without showing any emotion. From their expressions, Jing Xing knew that his words might have touched a nerve with Ma Feifei, and he was secretly pleased.

In fact, he was just making it up. There was no fragrance surrounding Ma Feifei at all. It was Jing Xing who deduced this from seeing that Ma Feifei had a mysterious and powerful figure as a bodyguard.

Generally speaking, a young master who has powerful cultivators as bodyguards must have an extremely powerful background. In addition, Ma Feifei is very young; young, rich, and from a powerful family, such a person must be surrounded by beautiful women.

As for why people say Ma Feifei has low yang energy... damn it, this young man is still a virgin. Who would believe he doesn't have some health problems?

Based solely on these two points, isn't it inappropriate to explain it as "dying alone"?

"Wait... what did you just say about me? Kidney deficiency?" Ma Feifei was stunned by the "lonely old age" comment, and only then did she realize what Jing Xing had said earlier. Her expression instantly turned ugly.

Kidney deficiency? Haha... You must be joking.

"Why are you looking at me?" Ma Feifei asked, glancing at Chang Kong with a gloomy face.

Chang Kong was extremely embarrassed, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only look up at the sky with his mouth tightly closed, afraid that he would laugh out loud.

Jing Xing smiled, knowing he couldn't provoke Ma Feifei any further, because men are all the same; even if they have such problems, they won't admit it. He quickly composed himself and reassured him, "Young brother, don't worry. I have some medical knowledge and should be able to cure your stubborn ailment."

"Go away, go away." Ma Feifei waved her hand dismissively. What on earth was all this nonsense?

Do I need you to tell me if there's a problem? Don't I know myself?

Ma Feifei realized she couldn't continue this conversation with him, so she put on a serious face and said, "Your name is Jing Xing, right? The head of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion?"

Seeing Ma Feifei suddenly change the subject, Jing Xing was a little taken aback and subconsciously replied, "That's right, I am indeed Jing Xing, but I am no longer the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion."

Since his Rain Dance failed some time ago, Qin Shi Huang dismissed him from his post to give an explanation to the people of Qin State, and he is now just an ordinary person.

"Do you want to become the head of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion again?" Ma Feifei asked.

Upon hearing this, Jing Xing gave Ma Feifei a deep look but remained silent.

He could naturally discern the deeper meaning in Ma Feifei's words. Although he didn't know what kind of background Ma Feifei had, the fact that Ma Feifei could say such a thing meant that he had a certain degree of confidence.

The most important question is, why did Ma Feifei help him?

The two were practically strangers, meeting by chance, yet Ma Feifei uttered such words. How could Jing Xing not become suspicious?

Seeing Jing Xing's expression, Ma Feifei was speechless. Why didn't you try to see things from my perspective when you were trying to fool me? Why are you suddenly so suspicious of me?

He's got a brain fart.

If it weren't for the fact that both the Side Quest and the Main Quest were related to Jing Xing, Ma Feifei really wouldn't bother dealing with such a scheming person.

She's just a baby; you can't associate with people who are cunning and manipulative.

"Chang Kong, go and turn on the lights," Ma Feifei said after a moment's thought.

Upon hearing this, Chang Kong glanced at Ma Feifei, then at Jing Xing.

Ma Feifei waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."

Ma Feifei understood what Chang Kong meant; he was afraid that Ma Feifei's safety would not be guaranteed after Chang Kong entered the house.

But actually, the place where Ma Feifei was sitting was already inside the Bookstore, so even if Jing Xing had the cultivation of the Immortal Realm, it wouldn't be of any use.

Chang Kong nodded, got up, took out the Lotus Lantern, and went into the Bookstore.

"Buzz~"

A slight ripple illuminated the Bookstore.

Ma Feifei couldn't help but twitch her lips. The system notification sounded again; she needed to hurry.

"I know why you were dismissed—it was because your Rain Dance failed, right? I have a book here. If you can understand it, it might help you succeed in your Rain Dance," Ma Feifei said, standing up and looking at Jing Xing.

Jing Xing looked somewhat surprised, but clearly didn't believe it.

Ma Feifei shrugged and said, "Come with me."

After saying that, Ma Feifei ignored Jing Xing and went straight into the Bookstore. He immediately went into his mind to find the System Shop and the book he had seen before.

The Scripture of Great Peace (Book of Great Peace)

Quality: Epic-grade quality book.

Price: Ten million Spirit Crystal or Book Qi Points.

Introduction: Written by the Immortal Nanhua in * Romance of the Three Kingdoms *, this book allows one to comprehend techniques such as 'dispersing talismanic water, curing diseases with incantations,' 'summoning wind and rain, Soaring Cloud Riding Mist.'

If Jing Xing can comprehend this "Book of Great Peace," then regaining his position as the head of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion will be quite easy. He only needs to ascend the altar again and perform a ritual to bring rain to the Great Qin, and that will be the end of it.

"Ding~ Do you wish to purchase 'The Book of Great Peace'?" the system's voice announced.

Ma Feifei selected "OK".

'Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Epic-grade book "The Book of Great Peace". The book has been stored in the cashier; please claim it yourself.'

Upon receiving the system notification, Ma Feifei walked towards the cashier.

The branch store is exactly the same as the main store in terms of setup, with a clock, signboard, and cashier.

Standing outside, Jing Xing watched Ma Feifei's retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to come in.

Running away is out of the question; we might as well see what this young man is up to.

Stepping into the Bookstore, Jing Xing began to take in the small shop.

The space is small, about twenty square meters, with bookshelves placed along the walls, filled with books.

'Bookstore?' Jing Xing asked in the secret passage.

Bookstore are a rare sight in lower-class cities because the area is too chaotic, and books are not something that ordinary people can afford.

A Bookstore located in a place like this, especially at night, is bound to have no business.

At this moment, Ma Feifei took out the black-covered "Book of Great Peace" from the drawer, came to Jing Xing, and said, "If I told you that this book can teach you the art of summoning wind and rain, would you believe me?"

Jing Xing glanced down at the book in Ma Feifei's hand, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and asked, "Is this a book of secret techniques?"

Otherworldly martial arts techniques and secret arts can be learned not only through personal instruction but also by reading such books.

Ma Feifei nodded and said, "I guess so."

Upon hearing this, Jing Xing couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I'll take a look."

His tone was skeptical, and he reached out to take the book from Ma Feifei's hand.

Ma Feifei waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "Reading is fine, but it costs one million Spirit Crystal to read a book."

Ma Feifei had originally only planned to collect 600,000 yuan to avoid a loss, but Jing Xing's tone annoyed him. "Damn it, why does it sound like Laozi 'm begging you? Begging you is one thing, but you don't even trust me?"

Don't you even bother to find out the reputation of My Mysterious Bookstore throughout the entire Great Chu?

If we don't fleece this kind of person, who else should we fleece?

When Jing Xing heard Ma Feifei mention one million, he was stunned for a moment, put down his hand, shook his head and said, "Young man, this is not right of you; although you have been kind to me, you can't cheat me like this, can you?"

One million Spirit Crystal was a huge sum for him; to spend one million on a book that claimed to grant the ability to control wind and rain? He must be insane.

Ma Feifei wasn't surprised to see Jing Xing like this; if it were Ma Feifei, he wouldn't believe it either. However, Ma Feifei had a way to make him believe it.

"Let's go! Today I'll make it rain in the Great Qin!"
