After spending the afternoon at the Wantong Trading Market, it was already five o'clock. The Mysterious Bookstore was already closing, but that wasn't what Ma Feifei was concerned about; catching Zhang Caicai was the priority.

When Ma Feifei stormed back to the backyard, he found Zhang Caicai and Liuli together. In Zhang Caicai's hand, a small clay figure in a white dress was dancing gracefully. Liuli looked at the clay figure in Zhang Caicai's hand with a beaming smile, giggling incessantly.

"Hehe, this little clay figure is so cute!"

"That's right, Miss. I spent a lot of money to have this made. Don't you think she looks a lot like you?"

"Hmm... it looks really similar! Whose cooking skills are so good?"

"Hehe, it's not that person's skill is good, it's that I have a deep memory of your appearance, Miss, it's engraved in my bones, and I corrected it step by step to make it into this final shape."

"Really?" Liuli asked in surprise.

Zhang Caicai, looking smug, was about to speak when she suddenly saw Ma Feifei's murderous expression. Her face instantly fell, and she handed the little clay figure to Liuli: "Miss, this is for you. I wish you happiness every day. Caicai will always be by your side."

After saying that, Zhang Caicai ran off to the kitchen without waiting for Liuli's reply.

"Zhang Caicai! You come Laozi right now!" Ma Feifei couldn't stand it anymore when he saw Zhang Caicai flirting with Liuli in front of him. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to go and cause trouble for Zhang Caicai.

"Father!" Liuli saw Ma Feifei return and happily got up and ran towards him, grabbing Ma Feifei arm.

"My dear daughter, let me go first." Ma Feifei had already made up her mind to teach Zhang Caicai a good lesson today. This brat was simply too naughty; she had to be disciplined.

"Okay, Father, hehe." Liuli chuckled and let go of Ma Feifei's arm. Seeing this, Ma Feifei knew that Liuli probably didn't have any other intentions towards Zhang Caicai, and he felt relieved. However, he still needed to teach her a lesson, so Ma Feifei grabbed a small stool and went into the kitchen.

"Crunch"

Suddenly, a portal leading to the branch store opened. Ma Feifei stopped, turned to look at the dark portal entrance, his eyes full of doubt.

Currently, only Chang Kong is stationed at the branch store. As Bookstore employee, Chang Kong has the authority to open the portal between the main store and the branch store. However, Chang Kong only opens the portal on weekends when the store is closed.

It wasn't Friday, and the sudden opening of the portal at this time made Ma Feifei feel somewhat uneasy.

"Whoosh"

Sure enough, Chang Kong emerged from the portal, his face still showing anxiety. Seeing Ma Feifei standing in the courtyard, Chang Kong rushed over, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Teacher!"

"What happened?" Ma Feifei asked suspiciously.

Upon hearing this, Chang Kong nodded heavily and said, "Qin Shi Huang is seriously ill and has sent someone to invite you, teacher, to the Afang Palace."

"Qin Shi Huang is seriously ill?" Ma Feifei was shocked. He had seen Qin Shi Huang not long ago and he was perfectly fine. Although Qin Shi Huang was now quite old, his health was still very good. Especially in this fantasy world, apart from congenital diseases, poisoning, and injuries that could affect the body, it was impossible for him to have a cold, fever, or acquired diseases. How could he suddenly be seriously ill?

"It's said that it's been some time now. During this period, Qin State has been peaceful, and even the Yan State didn't involve Qin Shi Huang. It seems he's quite ill." Chang Kong also frowned and Analytic. The Azure Dragon Continent is currently in a turbulent period. If Qin Shi Huang suddenly falls seriously ill, it might not be a good thing for the entire Qin State.

After a moment of contemplation, Ma Feifei called out to Yun Qingyang, who was standing at the door of the room, "Qingyang, let's go to the Qin State."

With a "whoosh," Yun Qingyang appeared beside Ma Feifei the next moment, his face cold but his eyes full of joy.

"Father, Father, I want to go too!" Liuli quickly grabbed Ma Feifei's arm and cried out.

Ma Feifei glanced at Liuli with affection, and was about to speak when suddenly...

"Call"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Ma Feifei couldn't help but shiver. He touched Liuli's head with one hand, but then changed his words: "My dear daughter, Father is going to take care of some important business. I'll be back soon. You keep an eye on Zhang Caicai for me and make sure he doesn't run away. I'll deal with him when I get back."

Liuli glanced at Ma Feifei suspiciously, then looked at Zhang Caicai, who was peeking out from inside the kitchen, and nodded, saying, "Okay."

"Good boy!" Ma Feifei felt the temperature around him begin to return to normal and breathed a sigh of relief. He took his arm out of Liuli's hand, the smile on his face vanished instantly, and he walked straight toward the teleportation portal.

There was no other way; Qin Shi Huang was crucial to the progress of the Main Quest, and his downfall was unacceptable.

"Whoosh"

With a sudden flash of light and darkness, Ma Feifei and his group arrived at the Mysterious Bookstore branch. It was already past five o'clock, and there wasn't a single customer Bookstore. The doors were also tightly closed, but Ma Feifei could sense that someone was waiting outside.

"Waiting outside is Xu Fu, the Qin Shi Huang eunuch of Qin Shi Huang," Chang Kong replied as he walked to the door and opened it.

Ma Feifei was somewhat surprised to hear the name, but she didn't say much and led Yun Qingyang towards the door.

With a creak, Chang Kong opened the door.

"Oh my, Elder Chang Kong, you've finally opened the door! I wonder if the shopkeeper is here..." As soon as the door opened, a middle-aged man holding a whisk called out anxiously. His tone was even shriller than a woman's. Without a doubt, this was the eunuch Xu Fu.

Seemingly spotting Ma Feifei behind Chang Kong, Xu Fu swallowed his words halfway through, his face lighting up with delight. He flicked his whisk and said, "This must be the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, right? Our Xu Fu greets you."

"You're too kind, Eunuch Xu." Ma Feifei nodded slightly, as if to greet Xu Fu.

"Shopkeeper, His Your Majesty seriously ill and has been unconscious for some time. Before he fell into a coma, His Your Majesty specifically instructed me to go to the Mysterious Bookstore to find you, saying that only you can cure His Your Majesty. I hope you will accompany me to the Afang Palace," Xu Fu said earnestly and worriedly.

"Of course, please lead the way, sir." Ma Feifei didn't ask any further questions. The most urgent matter was to revive Qin Shi Huang. If he really died, would the mission system still consider it complete?

Only geniuses know.

"Alright, alright, please, shopkeeper!" Seeing that Ma Feifei was so easy to talk to, Xu Fu's smile widened, and he quickly bowed to invite Ma Feifei.

On the main street directly opposite, a carriage pulled by four unicorns stood quietly. The carriage Tongtian black and decorated with many patterns, looking very luxurious. It was clearly not a carriage that ordinary people could ride in.
