Everyone Writes a Book

However, the most important thing to do now is to arrange the Journey to the Journey to the West instance and the anniversary celebration activities.

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei slowly explained his purpose to Zhou Zhuling. Zhou Zhuling stood beside Ma Feifei, listening intently. Her slender white neck and rosy face were a far cry from the sickly appearance Ma Feifei had when they first met.

However, Ma Feifei was quite upright and didn't react at all, honestly telling Zhou Zhuling the purpose of his visit.

"It's been a year already..." Zhou Zhuling couldn't help but sigh when she heard about the anniversary celebration. She was one of the first customers of Mysterious Bookstore, which had just opened not long ago. It was around that time that Zhou Zhuling met Ma Feifei, this amazing young man.

Time flies, and before they knew it, they had known each other for a year.

But that's not the point, is it? Ma Feifei looked at Zhou Zhuling speechlessly. He had clearly told her about the Journey to the Journey to the West dungeon and the anniversary celebration, but Zhou Zhuling's focus was on these unimportant things.

Women... I just don't understand.

"Okay, no problem, I'll have someone post the announcement right away." Zhou Zhuling seemed to realize she had gone off-topic and came back to her senses.

Ma Feifei waved his hand and said, "There's no rush. There's something else I wanted to tell you."

"What is it?" Zhou Zhuling asked curiously.

"Um..." Ma Feifei hesitated, unsure how to say it aloud; it was rather awkward to put it into words.

Suddenly, Ma Feifei's eyes lit up when she saw the paper on the table. She picked up a brush and wrote a short message on the paper, then handed it to Zhou Zhuling.

Zhou Zhuling found it strange; why didn't she just say so directly instead of writing a note? Could it be...?

Zhou Zhuling's face flushed instantly. She took the note from Ma Feifei and turned to look at it.

"Hehe." Ma Feifei was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"Shopkeeper, please have some tea." Hongxiu came in carrying a tray, placed the tea in front of Ma Feifei, and said respectfully.

"Okay... have some tea." Ma Feifei nodded, picked up the teacup, but immediately put it down again. It was a bit too hot to drink now; she'd let it cool down a bit.

Zhou Zhuling over there had also finished reading the note. Her face was already flushed. She reluctantly turned around to look at Ma Feifei and nodded slightly.

Ma Feifei was overjoyed when he saw it, and continued to write a passage on the paper before handing it to Zhou Zhuling.

After Zhou Zhuling took it, she turned her back, leaving only Ma Feifei with her slender figure.

"Strange, why do you always hide from me when you look at me?" Ma Feifei was a little confused.

However, this time Ma Feifei waited a little longer than usual. Zhou Zhuling's shoulders trembled slightly, which made Ma Feifei feel a chill in his heart.

"Does she not want to?"

At this moment, Zhou Zhuling calmed down, turned around to look at Ma Feifei, Zhuling Zhou Zhuling."

"Great! It's settled then, Sister Zhuling. I'll send someone to let you know before things start." Ma Feifei was very happy. He had resolved three matters in one trip to the trading market today, demonstrating his efficiency and ability.

"Okay." Zhou Zhuling remained the same, but if Ma Feifei looked closely, she could see that Zhou Zhuling's lips were slightly clenched. Even the maid Hongxiu noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Zhuling and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

"Alright, then you go ahead with your work, Zhuling. I'll head back to the Bookstore now. I'll treat you to a meal sometime." Ma Feifei stood up, downed the tea that had cooled down on the table, smacked her lips, and Zhou Zhuling.

Zhou Zhuling followed Ma Feifei to the door.

"Don't see me off, Zhuling Ling. Go back and get back to your work." Seeing Zhou Zhuling being so polite, Ma Feifei felt a little embarrassed and quickly stopped to persuade her.

Zhou Zhuling smiled and shook her head, standing inside the door looking at Ma Feifei, and said, "Brother Zhuling, there's something I've been keeping to myself for a long time, and I want to say it today."

"Uh..." Ma Feifei was a little confused.

'Is she going to confess her feelings to me?'

'It must be her, she's my devoted sister... Oh no, should I say yes?' Ma Feifei's mind was in turmoil; in that instant, he thought of so many things.

Zhou Zhuling looked up and stared into Ma Feifei's eyes, her gaze filled with malice. "Ma Feifei, you deserve to die alone!"

"Smack!"

Zhou Zhuling slammed the door shut, Ma Feifei stared blankly at the door, unable to react for a moment.

A long time.

"Did I do something wrong?" Ma Feifei touched his nose, completely baffled.

"I don't think so, right? It's just passing her a little note asking if she's a virgin, and then asking if she'd like to be a Book-holding woman, carrying a copy of the Four Books and Five Classics. Nothing wrong with that, is it?"

"Women..." Ma Feifei shook his head and walked out of the Wantong Trading Market.

Although Zhou Zhuling was very angry, not long afterward Ma Feifei heard a commotion coming from the Wantong Trading Market, which meant that the news had been released there. Ma Feifei was quite satisfied with this.

With the release of the "Journey to the Journey to the West" dungeon and anniversary event by Wantong Trading Market, a new wave of discussion has emerged in Dubian Town.

Among these topics, the "Journey to the West" instance suffered a major setback, ranking last. The reason is simple: the requirements for this "Eighty-One Tribulations" instance are too high. The Literary Examination Qualification Certificate can only be obtained by reading "Journey to the West," which alone deters 99% of cultivators. This has nothing to do with money; the main reason is that the opportunity to see the book "Journey to the West" is too rare. Only one person a day, even in a hundred days, is a hundred people. Compared to the nearly one million cultivators in Dubian Town, it's not even a ripple.

Of course, releasing just this one piece of news would have been explosive, but the problem is that Mysterious Bookstore also released another, even more explosive piece of news.

Anniversary celebration!

Whether it's a competition of original works or a competition of knowledge, everyone can participate, and it doesn't require paying a single Spirit Crystal or entering the Mysterious Bookstore. Any cultivator in Dubian Town can participate in this event.

Compared to the anniversary event, even if the rewards from the Eighty-One Tribulations dungeon are high, they have to take a backseat for now.

"This original work was created in a very tight timeframe. Is it possible to complete it in such a short period of time?" People in the streets, alleys, taverns, and brothels were talking about this newly launched anniversary event.

"I've never written a book, so I don't really understand." For most cultivators, they're very experienced at hunting spirit beasts with magical weapons, but asking them to write a book is a bit much.

"I'm not counting on writing this book. You all know the quality of the books in Mysterious Bookstore. It's difficult for someone like me to even write a basic white paper," a burly man said with a sigh after finishing a bowl of wine.

"Sigh, I also feel it's a bit risky. I once saw a white paper book in Bookstore, and the story inside was really well written. I don't think I could have written it myself." Another cultivator shook his head and sighed. This event is good, but damn it, for these cultivators who brave wind and rain, the difficulty is no less than hunting a Divine Beast.

Of course, not everyone believes they cannot write high-quality books.

For example, in various courtyards, those influential figures with profound knowledge and experience, upon hearing this news, were all eager to write a good book, and the quality they set was not low, all starting with Yellow Quality.
