Golden Mountain Temple is not in Hangzhou, but in Zhenjiang. There is still some distance, but Ma Feifei's cultivation has not been sealed, so this distance is nothing to him. He arrived at the gate of Golden Mountain Temple in one Somersault Cloud.

It was late at night, and Ma Feifei didn't care about anything else. He knocked on the door. Fortunately, there were monks on night watch inside the temple, so Ma Feifei didn't have to wait outside.

To Ma Feifei's dismay, Master Fahai was not at Golden Mountain Temple, but had gone on a pilgrimage. There was no word on when he would return, so Ma Feifei's trip was in vain.

"What do we do now?" Ma Feifei was truly at a loss. Among them, only Fahai could subdue the White Snake, and now that Fahai was traveling all over the world, the White Snake was basically invincible.

"Ding~" Suddenly, a crisp notification sound rang in Ma Feifei's mind, causing Ma Feifei to subconsciously focus his attention.

"Friendly reminder: The host can use partial unlocking permissions to seek assistance."

"Unlock license rights?" Ma Feifei looked puzzled after hearing the system's words and asked, "What does 'unlock license rights' mean?"

"The successful renovation of the Mysterious Bookstore granted it certain Bookstore licenses, one of which is: 'Working Together'."

"Working Together: If a reader encounters difficulties in the book's world and cannot resolve them, the host can use the 'Working Together' permission. After using this permission, the reader in the book's world can seek help from any reader outside the book for a fee. After both parties agree on the payment, the reader outside the book will be teleported into the book's world to fight alongside the reader inside and Working Together to complete the tasks in the book. (Note: The system will limit the cultivation level of the assisting reader based on the difficulty of the tasks in the book to prevent a one-sided victory.)"

"Wow... this licensing right is great." After hearing the system's explanation, Ma Feifei immediately thought of a way to make money. If anyone in the book world encounters trouble in the future, Ma Feifei can negotiate with the book lovers in the book to help them and get a certain reward. It will definitely be a considerable income.

"Does the host wish to use the Working Together's license?" the system prompt sounded again.

"Of course, I'll use it." Ma Feifei nodded and said. He couldn't go on stage himself, so he could only use Summoning Technique to call his Divine Beast over to help.

"Please select the object for which you wish to seek help." The system's prompt sounded, and then a projection appeared in Ma Feifei's mind. The entire Dubian Town was within the range, and the names of these people were listed on one side. The ranking was based on their strength, and the one currently ranked first was Yun Qingyang, whose strength was at the Peak of the Ninth Stage of Spirit Saint.

The second is the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, First-Grade Divine Beast.

The third is Ba Jiu, also First-Grade Divine Beast.

The top three spots were all taken by the Mysterious Bookstore, which was within Ma Feifei's expectations, since these three were all Divine Beast and could not be compared with ordinary cultivators.

"Choose Yun Qingyang." Among the top three, Yun Qingyang is the strongest and most familiar with Ma Feifei. She might even be able to help for free. Why not use a free henchman?

"Ding~ Character selection successful. A connection has been successfully established with the designated character outside the book. The host can now communicate with the designated character, who will be summoned to the host's side upon consent."

"Beep~"

As soon as the system finished speaking, Yun Qingyang's perspective appeared in Ma Feifei's mind. She was currently standing in the courtyard painting. Perhaps because she had been stimulated by Ma Feifei earlier, Yun Qingyang was painting very seriously, focusing intently on each stroke.

"Ahem, Qingyang." Ma Feifei didn't really want to interrupt Yun Qingyang's painting, but she had no choice but to Sheer Force interrupt him.

"Hmm?" Yun Qingyang in the courtyard suddenly frowned, stopped drawing with her brush, looked around, and finally stopped on the projection.

The projection showed Li Gongfu standing in a desolate wilderness, shouting at the air with great emotion, like a madman. However, none of the cultivators outside found it funny, especially when they heard Li Gongfu shout the name "Qingyang," they were all shocked.

"Isn't that the name of the Saint?"

"Yes, if I remember correctly, the Saint's full name is Yun Qingyang."

"And in the entire Azure Dragon Continent, the only one who dares to address the Saint in such a way is probably the shopkeeper, right?"

The cultivators outside, having finished their discussion, looked at Li Gongfu with renewed disapproval. This guy was the shop owner!

"I knew it! The Mysterious Bookstore isn't even open for business. Anyone who could trigger the world within the book must be from the Saint Mysterious Bookstore. I've never seen the Saintess appear in any of the book worlds. It couldn't be anyone other than the bookstore owner."

"The supernatural ability he used to spy on us earlier must have been Thousand-Mile Eyes, right? And that wisp of purple aura—only the shopkeeper possesses Spiritual Power of that color."

"Was that a high-level Divine Abilities and Spells Somersault Cloud? I saw the shopkeeper use it once yesterday morning. I heard that one somersault can cover 108,000 li (54,000 kilometers). Unfortunately, the Wantong Trading Market doesn't sell it to the public right now, so it's impossible for anyone else besides the shopkeeper to know this Divine Abilities and Spells."

"It's confirmed, it's definitely the shop owner!"

The noise outside was now audible to Ma Feifei, who realized that his conversation with Yun Qingyang had been overheard. He immediately asked the system to mute everyone's voices, leaving only him and Qingyang. This way, no one outside could hear Ma Feifei's voice except for Yun Qingyang, and vice versa.

"Qingyang, look at this!" Although Ma Feifei's consciousness was in his mind, his body could still move freely. He waved his hand, and Li Gongfu followed suit. Yun Qingyang, looking at the projection, naturally understood.

However, Yun Qingyang's expression was not good, and it grew increasingly heavy. The weather began to turn cold, and cracking sounds rose and fell. The maple tree was instantly covered with ice. Fortunately, the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey in the tree reacted quickly and jumped down first, otherwise it would have been frozen into an ice block.

Looking at the situation outside and Yun Qingyang's expression, Ma Feifei asked in confusion, "Qingyang, what's wrong? Did someone make you angry?"

"Ma Feifei, let me in quickly, I'm going to kill him!" Yun Qingyang began searching the entire courtyard for Ma Feifei.

"..." Ma Feifei looked at Yun Qingyang speechlessly, slapped his forehead, and then remembered that he was currently possessed, not in his original form. How could Yun Qingyang, with his low IQ, understand this? He quickly said, "I am Ma Feifei, don't look for me anymore. Yes, look at me, in the projection..."

Yun Qingyang looked up at Ma Feifei in the projection, his face full of disbelief.

"Wait a minute, I'll show you something." Ma Feifei withdrew his consciousness from his mind into his spatial ring, and with a flick of his palm, the Setting Sun Wooden Sword appeared in his hand.

Upon seeing the sword, Yun Qingyang's fierce expression vanished, and the air began to calm down. However, she didn't speak to Ma Feifei and went back to drawing...

"Qingyang, I need to discuss something with you." Seeing that Yun Qingyang believed him, Ma Feifei quickly pressed for details. He didn't know if the call would last two hours; what if it ended in five minutes? Wouldn't the permission have been wasted?

"No money, no lending, no gambling."

"I..." Ma Feifei almost choked on Yun Qingyang's words, and after a long pause, she said, "I'll give you money this time, as long as you help me with something, I'll give you one million Spirit Crystal, how about it?"

"One million..." Yun Qingyang looked up at Ma Feifei, clearly tempted. However, having known Ma Feifei so long, Yun Qingyang knew his tactics to some extent and said, "What is it first?"

Yun Qingyang had already decided that if things got too complicated, she would try to earn more Spirit Crystal from Ma Feifei. Recently, Ma Feifei had earned a lot of Spirit Crystal selling those Divine Abilities and Spells, which made her a little envious.

"Remember that dragon? She's now in this 'The Legend of the Righteous Demon' book. I need someone to subdue her. If you think one million is too cheap, then I'll give you more..."

"How am I supposed to get in?" Ma Feifei was interrupted by Yun Qingyang before he could finish speaking. Yun Qingyang's face was expressionless, but Ma Feifei could sense that she was filled with fighting spirit. The Qingshuang Sword had appeared in her right hand at some point.

"Uh... as long as you agree." Ma Feifei was a little confused. He hadn't expected Yun Qingyang to agree so readily, and judging from her expression, she seemed to have a lot of opinions about that dragon?

"I agree, I don't want a single Spirit Crystal," Yun Qingyang said coldly.

"Whoosh~" Before Ma Feifei could react, he saw Yun Qingyang transform into a streak of light and shoot towards him, and then Yun Qingyang appeared beside him.

In that instant, Ma Feifei sensed the murderous aura emanating from Yun Qingyang.

"What do you mean by this?" Now it was Ma Feifei's turn to panic. He subconsciously took two steps back to keep a safe distance from Yun Qingyang, afraid that Yun Qingyang would take her Lash Out on him.

"Where is she? Take me to her now!" Yun Qingyang said menacingly.

"At home, no... why haven't I seen you show this much hatred towards her before?" Ma Feifei asked curiously. They had encountered that dragon before and mentioned it more than once, but they had never noticed Yun Qingyang reacting so strongly.

"Mind your own business! Take me to her right now, I'm going to skin her alive!" Yun Qingyang raised the Qingshuang Sword and said viciously.

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei couldn't help but shudder. He didn't dare to ask any further questions and obediently led Yun Qingyang back. However, on the way, Ma Feifei suddenly remembered something: during the battle with the dragon, Yun Qingyang seemed to have been smashed into the ground by the dragon and suffered a minor loss. Given Yun Qingyang's proud nature, she certainly couldn't tolerate such a humiliation, so it must be because of this incident.

"I wonder if Qingyang can defeat that dragon, since his current strength is also limited." Ma Feifei suddenly became a little worried. The dragon's strength has not reached its peak, so Yun Qingyang's cultivation will definitely be limited to a certain extent. In this way, whether Yun Qingyang can defeat the dragon is really unknown.

However, there's no other way now, so we can only try and see. Anyway, Ma Feifei still has cultivation, so even if Yun Qingyang can't beat him, he can still protect Yun Qingyang at the crucial moment.

"Why did the Saint go in too?" Although the cultivators outside the projection didn't hear the conversation between the two, they saw Yun Qingyang suddenly appear inside the projection clearly, and they were all puzzled.

"Yeah! Can someone join in halfway through?" a cultivator asked doubtfully. Until now, no projection in the Mysterious Bookstore had ever allowed someone to join midway; this was the first time.

"Who knows? But the only thing we're sure of right now is that Li Gongfu is definitely the shop owner," another cultivator said, watching Ma Feifei Fly in mid-air.

"That's right, but what does the shopkeeper want to do by suddenly summoning the Saint inside?" This is the part that everyone finds most puzzling, because so far in the entire story, apart from the green snake's Transform during the day, no one has seen a single battle.

"Just keep watching and you'll see. What's the point of you guessing now?" the cultivator said.

"Are you out of your mind? You're the one who raised the question, and we're trying to reason along with it, and then you come on and say, 'What's the point of us guessing? If it's pointless, then don't even start!' " One cultivator was so angry that he immediately launched an attack.

"Why bother talking to him about this? We can just get rid of him when we have the chance."

"Exactly, I hate Laozi like that the most. They don't want to discuss something but still insist on ending the conversation. They're so annoying..."

"..."

In the projection, Ma Feifei successfully brought Yun Qingyang back to the Li residence. At this time, it was still dark, and the residence was silent and without any lights.

"Where is she?" Yun Qingyang asked.

Ma Feifei put her index finger to her lips and whispered, "Keep your voice down. I'm telling you, you have to listen to me. There's no rush now. Let's go to Rest first and talk about it tomorrow morning."

"Rest?" Yun Qingyang looked up at the sky, only then realizing that it was already late at night in the world of the book. However, she still shook her head and said, "I'm not sleepy, I won't sleep."

Fearing that Yun Qingyang would directly take her sword to find the dragon, Ma Feifei grabbed Yun Qingyang's hand and headed towards her room. From the day she arrived in this world, Ma Feifei had found an excuse to live separately from Xu Jiaorong, so there was no one in Ma Feifei's room now.

Ma Feifei plans to take action during the day tomorrow. Ideally, he wants the White Snake to reveal her true form to Xu Xian. That way, even if Yun Qingyang fails to defeat the White Snake, as long as Xu Xian knows the White Lady's true form, the plot will still follow the original story. In the end, Fahai will subdue the White Snake, also known as the Jiao, and suppress it under Leifeng Pagoda.

This is a double insurance policy. It would be best Yun Qingyang could subdue the White Snake, but if he couldn't, forcing the White Lady to reveal her true form would also be a success.

Of course, Ma Feifei needs to discuss this further with Yun Qingyang. At the very least, they can't let Yun Qingyang openly go to find the White Snake. They need to disguise it and create an assassination attempt to provoke a battle between the White Snake and Yun Qingyang. That way, it will be foolproof and won't arouse the White Snake's suspicion, causing her to escape directly.

"I already said I'm not sleepy!" Yun Qingyang was dragged into the house by Ma Feifei, and reluctantly broke free from Ma Feifei's hand, saying unhappily.

"But I'm sleepy!" Ma Feifei came to the bedside, turned around, opened her arms, and lay down comfortably, saying this.

"Then you go to sleep, I'll go find her." Yun Qingyang picked up the Qingshuang Sword and was about to walk outside.

"Hey hey~~ Can't you sleep with me?" Ma Feifei blurted out anxiously when she saw Yun Qingyang about to leave.
