What Do You Say to Me Giving You Something?
"Ahem, Qingyang, look how late it is now, it's pitch black, not a good time to see the Ice Crystal Palace. Besides, I haven't Rest all night. Can't you let me rest for the night and we can see it tomorrow, okay?" Ma Feifei looked tired, but she was actually panicking inside.
Where is the Ice Crystal Palace now? He Jidu won't have it in this lifetime, but he can't tell Yun Qingyang that he destroyed her artifact! How could he survive if he did that? He'd probably be torn to pieces by Yun Qingyang in no time, and his grave would be overgrown with weeds by this time next year.
Especially after Ma Feifei discovered the intense Covet even a dragon that had survived from ancient times had for the Ice Crystal Palace, he became even more frightened. What did this prove? It proved that the Ice Crystal Palace was no ordinary divine artifact! Otherwise, how could that dragon have launched a massive siege by spirit beasts?
Therefore, given the current situation, the best solution is to ensure that Yun Qingyang never remembers the existence of the Ice Crystal Palace again; otherwise, Ma Feifei is definitely doomed.
"Well... alright, but I want to see the Ice Crystal Palace when I wake up tomorrow morning." Seeing that Ma Feifei looked tired, Yun Qingyang hesitated for a moment and did not continue to make the request.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely show you tomorrow. Go back to your room and rest." Ma Feifei waved her hand and turned to run into her room.
"Aren't you very tired? How can you still run so fast?" Yun Qingyang asked, looking at the room with the door tightly closed.
However, given her limited intelligence, it was impossible for her to guess the problem. She turned and walked towards her room. As she passed the Legendary Beasts, they all shivered and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Yun Qingyang.
"Anyone who tries to escape will die!" Yun Qingyang's cold voice Frillish into the ears of the Legendary Beasts, yet it instilled fear in them from the bottom of their hearts.
Others might not recognize Yun Qingyang, but how could they, as high-ranking ninth-order spirit beasts deep within the Nine Heavens Mountain, not recognize Yun Qingyang? This was an ancient divine Divine Beast that even the Flood Dragon Emperor would treat with deference, let alone ordinary spirit beasts like them. Her noble Divine Beast bloodline alone was enough to prevent her from having any desire to resist, so how could she dare to run away?
In fact, they didn't intend to escape. Even though no one was watching them, the Mysterious Bookstore was only so big, and the distance inside was only about ten meters. In such a short distance, any slight movement would be detected, so how could they possibly escape?
"Sigh!" Yun Bai Shu couldn't help but sigh as he watched Yun Qingyang enter the room.
"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively," Gou Yu Hu said softly. Originally, they planned to sneak into Dubian Town and retrieve the Orange Fragment without anyone noticing, trying not to make it public knowledge. After all, there were still many important figures in Watanabe Dubian Town. Although they were Sacred Beast, if all the important figures in Dubian Town came out to help, not to mention the even more terrifying Mysterious Bookstore, it would be a huge problem.
Of course, they tried their best to avoid conflict with the Divine Beast in the Mysterious Bookstore, but they never expected that an inconspicuous employee would be so powerful. Not only did they lose in Single Battle, but the result was the same in a three-on-one fight, ultimately leading to their complete annihilation.
"Hopefully, the Dragon King will come to our rescue," sighed the White Cloud Rat.
The Nine Bend Spider, however, remained silent, sitting there with its head down, seemingly lost in thought.
The next day, as soon as it was light, Ma Feifei woke up and asked Zhou Wuji to take the Legendary Beasts away. He also told Zhou Wuji that if spirit beasts attacked the city that day, they would most likely be seventh or eighth tier spirit beasts, and told him to be prepared.
After Zhou Wuji returned with the Legendary Beasts, Ma Feifei, to avoid being captured by Yun Qingyang, went to the Wantong Trading Market across the street. There were more people exchanging Tianshu Fragment at the Wantong Trading Market today, and he had collected more than forty fragments in less than an hour. Adding the fragments Ma Feifei obtained from the Legendary Beasts last night and the approximately forty Tianshu Fragment he already possessed, he had collected a total of exactly eighty Tianshu Fragment.
In other words, only nineteen Tianshu Fragment have been lost to the outside world.
"It all depends on today's attack." After retrieving all the Tianshu Fragment, Ma Feifei didn't dare return to the Bookstore. Instead, he hid in the Wantong Trading Market to kill time, while looking forward to today's spirit beast siege.
However, to Ma Feifei's slight disappointment, the spirit beast siege still hadn't occurred by noon.
"Could it be like yesterday, starting in the afternoon?" Ma Feifei waited another afternoon with this question in mind, but in the end, the spirit beasts really did not attack the city.
Not only did the spirit beasts not attack the city, Zhou Wuji also brought Ma Feifei some bad news.
Two of the Legendary Beasts are dead, and the third escaped!
The ones who died were Yun Bai Shu and Gou Yu Hu, while the Nine Bend Spider escaped. To Ma Feifei's surprise, Yun Bai Shu and Gou Yu Hu did not die at the hands of Zhou Wuji and his group, but at the hands of the Nine Bend Spider.
The Nine Bend Spider directly absorbed the inner cores of the Yun Bai Shu and the Gou Yu Hu, restored its own cultivation, and then escaped the dungeon that bound them, returning to Nine Heavens Mountain.
In response, Ma Feifei could only sigh at the ruthlessness of the Nine Bend Spider, which even killed its own people. A spirit beast is indeed a spirit beast, turning its back on its foes without mercy.
However, once the Nine Bend Spider escapes back to Nine Heavens Mountain, it will inevitably inform the Flood Dragon Emperor. In that case, the spirit beast siege will be virtually impossible to occur again, which means that the crisis in Dubian Town is over for now.
However, this might not be good news for Ma Feifei, because the remaining nineteen Tianshu Fragment are still unaccounted for.
Based on the previous order of the spirit beast sieges, the remaining nineteen Tianshu Fragment should all be hidden on spirit beasts of the seventh rank or higher. If they do not launch a large-scale siege, Ma Feifei will have to go into the Nine Heavens Mountain to search for the remaining nineteen Tianshu Fragment one by one if he wants to collect them all.
"It seems I still have to ask those cultivators for help." Ma Feifei sighed, glanced at the sky outside the window, where the city lights were just coming on, and after thinking for a moment, decided to leave the Wantong Trading Market and head towards the Bookstore.
There was nothing particularly special inside the Bookstore. Yun Qingyang and Ba Jiu were drawing, Sky-reaching Ape Monkey was dozing off in a tree, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Seeing this, Ma Feifei didn't want to disturb them, so she quietly went back to her room.
"Ma Feifei!" Yun Qingyang called out to him.
Ma Feifei could only stop, awkwardly turn around, look at Yun Qingyang, and laugh, "What's wrong? Did you run into some problems with your painting?"
Yun Qingyang walked around the table and stood in front of Ma Feifei, staring at Ma Feifei with her beautiful eyes, and said, word by word, "Have you forgotten what you promised me last night?"
"Promise what?" Ma Feifei feigned ignorance.
"What about the Ice Crystal Palace?" Yun Qingyang asked seriously.
Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei sighed inwardly, knowing that she could no longer hide the truth, and had no choice but to tell the truth.
After listening carefully to Ma Feifei's explanation, Yun Qingyang ran into the Bookstore and took a look, but at that time the Bookstore was pitch black and he couldn't see anything at all.
However, Yun Qingyang did not retreat. Instead, she drew her Qingshuang Sword and made a cut on her fingertip. Then, with her finger pointing downwards, golden blood dripped down.
'Clatter'
Then, a scene that left Ma Feifei dumbfounded appeared: the once pitch-black interior of the Bookstore suddenly became brightly lit, just like daytime.
But it was only for a moment; in the blink of an eye, the light disappeared, and the Bookstore returned to darkness.
Yun Qingyang sheathed her Qingshuang Sword, turned and walked to Ma Feifei's side. Ma Feifei was about to apologize when she noticed Yun Qingyang giving her a meaningful look and saying, "Want something?"
