Dubian Town's Carnival

"In addition, there will be other mysterious events today, so please stay tuned."

"Now, I hereby declare the Mysterious Bookstore Anniversary Celebration officially open!"

"Whoosh~~~"

At Zhang Yunji's command, a lively cheer erupted throughout Dubian Town!

"Pop~"

A silent wave of light spread out from the Mysterious Bookstore, enveloping the entire Mysterious Bookstore.

"Phew~"

A gentle breeze blew by.

"Look! So many flowers!" A young woman exclaimed softly, raising her delicate hand.

Everyone looked up, their faces filled with amazement.

Plum Blossom, arriving from the Zhenbei, seemed to cheer and dance, slowly covering the entire Mysterious Bookstore.

"Da~"

The Seven-Colored Liuli Rain falling on the Plum Blossom made a crisp sound.

"Pop~"

Plum Blossom transformed into countless pink petals as they fell.

Everyone instinctively raised their hands to catch it; the Plum Blossom drifted into their palms and slowly disappeared.

"Dharma Power, Dharma Power, I can feel the presence of Dharma Power!" A cultivator exclaimed loudly, holding the falling pink flower petals in his hands.

"Boom!"

An aura surged into the sky.

"He actually broke through!" A cultivator who was originally only at the Spirit King ninth stage actually broke through to the Spirit Venerable first stage with the help of the Plum Blossom filling the sky, breaking through the bottleneck of a major level and gaining the ability to fly.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

The sounds echoed throughout every corner of Dubian Town. The benefits brought by this Seven-Colored Liuli Rain, mixed with the pollen of Plum Blossom, were obvious. This was destined to be a celebration of cultivation growth.

"It's so noisy!" In the backyard of the Mysterious Bookstore, Ma Feifei lay in a rocking chair, listening to the banging and booming sounds outside, and felt extremely annoyed.

To be precise, Ma Feifei's mood had been rather unpleasant since midnight last night; the entire Dubian Town was in chaos all night, like the Japanese were invading a village.

Just when things had finally calmed down, the deafening sounds of fighting erupted again, followed by a series of thuds and crashes. Frustrated, Ma Feifei had no choice but to get up early and lie in the courtyard, gazing at the scene outside.

"Standing so high and still laughing? Aren't you afraid of falling to your death?"

"How old are you? Can't you be quiet for once? What are you yelling about?"

"Miss, you're flying around in a skirt, you're really something!"

"..."

Ma Feifei listened to the Uproar sounds while complaining about the cultivators darting around in mid-air.

As for Luan Feng killing the Seventh Dean of the Vast Academy, Ma Feifei was naturally aware of it. However, in Ma Feifei's opinion, Luan Feng had not done anything wrong. Today was the anniversary of the Mysterious Bookstore, which was being watched by everyone in the entire Azure Dragon Continent. As the most powerful force in the Azure Dragon Continent, the Mysterious Bookstore had already earned its honor, and it would not allow anyone to despise or tarnish it.

Especially under these circumstances, if the Mysterious Bookstore is weak, then the status of being the number one power on the continent, which everyone has been praising, will be gone forever, and everyone will think that the Mysterious Bookstore is nothing special and easy to bully.

So, Ma Feifei could foresee that countless greedy people would appear around the Mysterious Bookstore and start Snatch the books inside.

Because the prestige of the Mysterious Bookstore is gone.

Therefore, even if Luan Feng was wrong in that situation, Ma Feifei couldn't stop her, because Luan Feng represented him, Ma Feifei, and the Mysterious Bookstore.

Not to mention that Teng Shangqing ignored warnings and disrupted the Mysterious Bookstore's anniversary celebration, which alone gave Luan Feng enough reason to take action.

As for the consequences of killing the Seventh Dean of the Vast Academy...

Don't be ridiculous. Ma Feifei doesn't even have a concept of how strong Vast Academy is, so how could he possibly have any consequences?

Even assuming the worst, Ma Feifei has Divine Beast under his command and a country behind him. If a real fight breaks out, who's afraid of whom!

That's right, Ma Feifei got too cocky...

"Zhang Caicai, is my breakfast ready yet!" Ma Feifei shouted into the kitchen.

"Alright, shop owner, I'll be right there." Zhang Caicai's voice came from the kitchen.

"Boom!"

No sooner had Zhang Caicai finished speaking than a loud commotion erupted from the kitchen. Ma Feifei jumped in fright and was about to go in to check on her, fearing something had happened to Zhang Caicai. But Zhang Caicai emerged from the kitchen first, carrying a plate steaming with a dish of crimson and gold... rice?

"You want me to eat breakfast so early in the morning? How poor is my family? Can't we even afford a decent breakfast?" Ma Feifei said with a displeased look as she looked at the plate Zhang Caicai brought over.

This is definitely rice, and it's damn fried rice!

Who eats fried rice with eggs first thing in the morning?!

"Shopkeeper, let me tell you, this isn't your average fried rice. This is Little Master Fried Rice that I made especially for you!" Zhang Caicai patted her chest and said confidently.

"Hehe..." Ma Feifei sneered and lay back down in the rocking chair.

Little Master chef and have egg fried rice? No matter how Illuminate you shine, Ma Feifei still won't eat egg fried rice!

"Shopkeeper, although this fried rice is made using the techniques of Little Master, the ingredients are different. The egg is a ninth-tier spirit beast Griffin Eagle Egg- Griffin Eagle Egg, which is extremely nutritious! It's said that eating it can even make people grow wings."

Ma Feifei rolled his eyes. "Laozi 've only ever heard of eating eggs making you grow eggs, never wings. Who are you trying to fool?"

Zhang Caicai didn't mind Ma Feifei's expression and continued, "And also, this rice isn't ordinary rice. It's Crystal Mixed Phoenix Blood Rice. It has a silky smooth texture and can promote metabolism and enhance blood circulation."

"Where are you going?" Ma Feifei asked, puzzled.

"Mixed Phoenix Blood," Zhang Caicai said in a serious tone.

"Where did you get phoenix blood?" Ma Feifei asked curiously. Phoenix blood is something only Fenghuang possess, and the only Fenghuang on the entire Azure Dragon Continent is in the Mysterious Bookstore. Apart from that, all other Fenghuang on the continent went extinct since ancient times. Where did Zhang Caicai get phoenix blood?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Caicai scratched her head sheepishly and smiled, "I got it from Sister Luan Feng."

"Luan Feng can give you phoenix blood?" Ma Feifei asked in surprise. Although the Luan Feng that accompanied Fenghuang was in its complete form, drawing blood from the Fenghuang would still have some impact on the Fenghuang itself. Unless the relationship was very close, she would never give her phoenix blood to someone else.

Zhang Caicai has only been at Mysterious Bookstore for a few days; her relationship with Luan Feng couldn't possibly be that good.

"Of course! I told her I wanted to make a dish for you, Master, and I needed a drop of phoenix blood as an ingredient, and Sister Luan Feng gave it to me without hesitation." Zhang Caicai finished speaking and winked at Ma Feifei, saying slyly, "Master, it's clear that Sister Luan Feng cares about you a lot."

"Go away, what do you know, you little brat?" Ma Feifei snatched the plate from Zhang Caicai's hand, looked at the crystal phoenix blood fried rice on the plate, and said, "This is a one-time thing. If you dare to use my name to ask for things again, you can pack your things and leave."

Ma Feifei's tone was normal for the first half of his sentence, but became unusually serious for the second half. Upon hearing this, Zhang Caicai immediately stood up straight and said, "I'm sorry, shopkeeper. Caicai knows she was wrong and won't do it again."

"Go on with your work." Ma Feifei waved his hand, too lazy to argue with Zhang Caicai.

Zhang Caicai nodded and left. Ma Feifei looked at the fried rice in her hand and suddenly lost her appetite.

"With so many girls, should I take them all...?"
