I Was Born from My Father

The next morning, it was still the weekend. Because the anniversary celebration yesterday was so lively, there were relatively few cultivators out and about in Dubian Town early this morning. Everyone was either digesting the rewards they had received yesterday or still asleep.

But the Mysterious Bookstore was bustling with activity early in the morning, especially Zhang Caicai, who struggled to run out as soon as it was light, only to be held back by the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey.

"Monkey King, let me go! I need to find Miss! I'll go through fire and water for Miss!" Zhang Caicai struggled and tried to crawl outside, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey's obstruction.

In the courtyard, Ma Feifei sat on a small stool, holding a plate of pastries. Opposite him, Liuli sat in a rocking chair. Ma Feifei fed Liuli pastries, Liuli happily swung her legs. As for that idiot Zhang Caicai, Ma Feifei couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention.

"Daughter, tell your father, do you still have that 'Tribulation Book'?" Aside from his daughter Liuli, Ma Feifei was most interested in her special skill: the ability to spontaneously create a book and even allow people to enter the Immortal Realm. This was far more amazing than any Mysterious Bookstore at the moment. At least Ma Feifei needed to complete the Heavenly Dao of the Azure Dragon Continent and fulfill the task of 'the Flourishing of the Confucian Way' before cultivators on the continent could enter the Immortal Realm.

As for Liuli, she could easily create a 'Tribulation Book'. As long as one passes through the 'Tribulation Book', one can step into the Immortal Realm. Although the price is quite high, it is still an opportunity, isn't it?

Take Saint Chu Feng Yiming for example. How many years has he been stuck at the Peak of the Ninth Stage of Spirit Saint? If Ma Feifei hadn't made him Carrying Book Slave at the Bookstore, he might have already reached the end of his lifespan and died.

In this situation, if a "Tribulation Book" were to appear, Ma Feifei believed that Saint Chu Feng Yiming would definitely choose to enter the "Tribulation Book" to try his luck. Those who succeed would step into the Immortal Realm and rival the heavens.

Even if he fails, he probably won't regret it, because at least he had a chance to become an immortal, and he gave it his all.

For the past 30,000 years, no immortals have appeared on the Azure Dragon Continent. There are countless great figures here who have cultivated to the extreme, and they spend their entire lives searching for a way to enter the Immortal Realm. Even if there is only the slightest chance, they will risk their lives to seize it.

The path of cultivation is inherently like this, fraught with peril and near death.

Therefore, the books created by Liuli are absolutely the most insane things right now, without exception, even surpassing the Legendary-grade quality books on the bookshelves.

"There's only one, but I gave it to an old lady yesterday," Liuli mumbled as she lay in the rocking chair, eating the pastries Ma Feifei had given her.

"Give it away?" Ma Feifei asked in surprise. How could Liuli just give something so important away so easily? How much money could she make if she sold it? She's such a spendthrift!

"Yeah, she's a nice person, so I gave Liuli to her." Liuli didn't notice anything wrong with Ma Feifei's tone and replied to herself.

"Where is she now? Can we find her?" Ma Feifei asked. Putting aside the money issue, as the shop owner, he had never even seen a 'Tribulation Book' before. Shouldn't he at least get a glimpse of it?

"No need to look." Liuli smiled and picked up a pastry, holding it to Ma Feifei's lips. Ma Feifei instinctively opened his mouth and took it in. Liuli then happily withdrew her hand, patted it, and said, "To open the Tribulation Book, Father's permission is needed. Without Father's signature, she can't get in."

"Sign?" Ma Feifei chewed on his pastry, somewhat confused. How did 'Tribulation Book' get to him?

"Yes, she's here," Liuli suddenly said, pointing to the small gate in the backyard.

"Knock knock knock~"

Just as Liuli finished speaking, there was a knock on the back door. Ma Feifei, quite curious, called out, "Zhang Caicai, go open the door."

"Whoosh~"

Zhang Caicai instantly broke free from the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey's grasp and ran to open the back door.

'Whoosh~'

She ran to Liuli's side, holding a plate with a crystal-clear pastry on it.

"Miss, this is a 'Honey Crystal Cake' that I 'Last Resort for a long time. It's especially delicious. Would you like to try some?" Zhang Caicai said with a fawning expression.

Ma Feifei rolled her eyes at Zhang Caicai, then got up and walked towards the back door.

"Shopkeeper, we meet again." Cang Lan, who was outside the door, did not come in. Seeing Ma Feifei walking towards him, he bowed and said.

Today, Cang Lan came alone; neither the Third Dean Zhen Liang nor the Fifth Dean Lie Xingyun appeared.

"What brings the Grand Dean here so early in the morning?" Ma Feifei returned the greeting and asked curiously.

"Of course I missed you, shop owner." Cang Lan took two steps forward and got close to Ma Feifei. A strong fragrance wafted over, making Ma Feifei wrinkle her nose and take a step back.

"Grand Dean, please come in." Ma Feifei turned around and welcomed Cang Lan into the courtyard. Vast Academy and Mysterious Bookstore had already had some conflicts yesterday, and the Seventh Dean Teng Chong had even died at Luan Feng's hands. This matter had to be resolved sooner or later. Moreover, Ma Feifei roughly understood from Liuli Li's words that the Tribulation Book should have been given to Cang Lan.

"Go cook." Seeing Zhang Caicai still clinging to Liuli, Ma Feifei couldn't help but whisper and scold.

Zhang Caicai immediately cowered and ran pitifully to the kitchen.

"Please have a seat, Grand Dean."

There were still two small stools, with Ma Feifei and Cang Lan sitting opposite each other. However, there was an extra person on one side, Liuli, sitting in a rocking chair. When Liuli saw Cang Lan, she giggled and said, "Sister, we meet again."

Cang Lan naturally noticed Liuli's presence as well. After hearing Liuli's words, she couldn't help but tease, "Little girl, you're really hiding your true abilities; you even fooled your older sister."

"I'm not lying to you, Liuli. Didn't I say we'd meet again today? Look, we've met now!" Liuli replied playfully.

"You two know each other?" Ma Feifei asked casually.

Liuli nodded and said, "Yes, Father, the Tribulation Book was given to this older sister."

"Father?" Now it was Cang Lan's turn to be dumbfounded. She glanced at Ma Feifei subconsciously, unable to believe it.

She knew everything about Ma Feifei's age and background, as well as all the details about the Mysterious Bookstore. It was impossible for Ma Feifei to have a daughter, let alone a daughter who was at least ten years old.

"Ahem, Grand Dean, please don't mind these details." Although Ma Feifei had already accepted Liuli as his daughter, he was still a little embarrassed that Liuli called him that in front of others.

"And who is your wife?" Cang Lan, on the contrary, became extremely interested in this topic and refused to let it go.

"I was born to my father, I have no mother," Liuli said seriously.
