Rescuing Qin Shi Huang

But wouldn't taking a carriage at this time be a waste of time? Ma Feifei shook his head, and with a thought, a cloud materialized beneath Ma Feifei feet. The cloud grew larger and larger, gently lifting Ma Feifei up.

Yun Qingyang naturally stepped forward and stood next to Ma Feifei.

"Eunuch Xu, let's hurry," Ma Feifei said to Xu Fu.

Xu Fu stared blankly at the clouds beneath Ma Feifei's feet, somewhat dumbfounded, and didn't react for a moment when Ma Feifei spoke to him.

"Eunuch Xu?" Chang Kong whispered a reminder from the side.

"Ah! Oh, okay, hurry up... hurry up." Xu Fu reacted, rolled up his trouser legs, and carefully stepped onto the platform. He was a little flustered at first, afraid of missing a step, and kept moving gently with small steps.

Ma Feifei found Xu Fu's appearance somewhat amusing. It seemed this eunuch never paid attention to the Mysterious Bookstore, not even buying a single piece of supernatural power like Soaring Cloud Riding Mist. How outdated!

"Eunuch Xu, hold on tight," Ma Feifei gently reminded him. The cloud then began to rise, its speed increasing until it reached the top of the cloud layer, where everything below was a vast expanse of white.

Xu Fu's legs trembled slightly, but he managed to stand up straight.

"Whoosh!" Xu Fu looked at the rapidly advancing clouds beneath his feet, his surprise growing stronger. It was the first time he had ever encountered something like this, and he was truly curious.

However, being someone who had been by Qin Shi Huang's side for many years, he quickly calmed himself down and his complexion returned to normal. As they approached the Afang Palace, Xu Fu's solemn expression grew heavier and heavier.

After all, the Afang Palace was an imperial palace, Ma Feifei certainly couldn't just barge in. So, once outside the Afang Palace, Ma Feifei landed and, led by Xu Fu, headed towards the First Emperor's Grand Hall.

On the way, Ma Feifei subtly sensed the elixir of Longevity and Immortality inside his spatial ring, his feelings somewhat complicated.

Qin Shi Huang was seriously ill, and the best medicine was undoubtedly this Longevity Pill. If Qin Shi Huang took this elixir, the Main Quest would be completed. However, the problem was that the elixir's efficacy was currently unknown. What if Qin Shi Huang took it and it had no effect, or even died? Wouldn't that be an even more serious problem?

Of course, Ma Feifei could choose not to give the elixir to Qin Shi Huang, but the problem remains: if Qin Shi Huang were to die from his illness, Ma Feifei's Main Quest would be interrupted, and the Longevity Pill would have no one to consume it.

"Well..."

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Qin Shi Huang's sudden serious illness had really given him a difficult problem.

The atmosphere inside the Afang Palace was heavy. The palace maids and eunuchs passing by all bowed their heads to the ground. Outside the main hall, groups of officials gathered together and discussed in hushed tones. Among these people, Ma Feifei saw Qin State Di Heyu, Heavenly Machine Pavilion Master Jing Xing, and Prince Qin Ziying.

Ma Feifei could see them, and the other party naturally saw Ma Feifei as well. They all looked at Ma Feifei with very complicated expressions.

Ma Feifei smiled slightly at him, and then entered the main hall with Xu Fu.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, a strong smell of medicine filled the air. Ma Feifei couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Qin Shi Huang had been seriously ill for some time.

"Shopkeeper, this way please." Xu Fu bowed slightly and continued leading Ma Feifei forward.

The palace was quite large, with at least three winding turns. Along the way, Ma Feifei sensed several powerful auras hidden in the shadows of the main hall, most of them at the Spirit Emperor realm, and one at the Spirit Saint realm.

After navigating three bends, Ma Feifei finally saw Qin Shi Huang lying on his bed. His face was withered and pale, devoid of any color, and he had lost all of his previous imposing presence.

"Eunuch Xu." At this moment, the physician who had been sitting by the bed saw Xu Fu enter and quickly got up to greet him.

"How is it?" Xu Fu waved his hand and asked with concern.

The physician shook his head, sighed, and said, "I and the seven physicians outside have examined His Majesty dozens of times, but we have found nothing abnormal in His Your Majesty's body."

Xu Fu frowned and waved his hand, "Go down."

After the doctor bowed and left, Xu Fu turned to Ma Feifei and said, "Shopkeeper, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Ma Feifei roughly understood that Qin Shi Huang was not seriously ill, but was nearing his end!

This emperor, who lived for over two thousand years, had reached the end of his life.

But the approaching deadline is a bit strange! Ma Feifei even suspects that the system is behind it. After all, Qin Shi Huang was full of energy and ambition to unify the Azure Dragon Continent before he met him.

As it turned out, not long after meeting him, her time was up, and something just didn't feel right.

Judging from Qin Shi Huang's current state, Ma Feifei estimated that he would most likely have to use the Longevity Pill. As for whether the elixir would actually have the effect of Longevity and Immortality, that was up to fate.

"Eunuch Xu, I can try to cure this illness, but if it kills him, none of you in Qin State can blame me." Ma Feifei felt he should be upfront about the consequences. If the Longevity Pill brought Qin Shi Huang back to life, that would be fine; but if he died instantly, wouldn't he, Ma Feifei, be the culprit who murdered Qin Shi Huang?

Although Ma Feifei may not be afraid of the entire Qin State now, he doesn't want to cause trouble.

"Uh..." Seeing how serious Ma Feifei was making it sound, Xu Fu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Shopkeeper, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei knew that Xu Fu was going to discuss matters with the ministers and princes. She nodded, and Xu Fu slowly left the room, leaving only the palace maids serving on both sides, the eunuch at the door, Ma Feifei, and Yun Qingyang inside.

"Ma Feifei, are you planning to save him?" Yun Qingyang suddenly leaned close to Ma Feifei's ear and whispered.

Ma Feifei glanced at Yun Qingyang and replied in a low voice, "This person must be saved. Do you remember the pill you refined last time? I'm going to give it to him in a bit."

"That was made by you, not me." Yun Qingyang glanced at Qin Shi Huang lying on the bed and shook his head violently.

"What the heck!" Ma Feifei looked at Yun Qingyang in disbelief. This girl's IQ has increased; she's starting to learn how to shift the blame!

Ma Feifei grabbed Yun Qingyang's arm, pulled her close to his mouth, and said in a low, vicious voice, "Let me tell you, don't you know in your heart whether you're a real man or not?"

"Hiss!" Ma Feifei suddenly gasped, as Yun Qingyang grabbed Ma Feifei's wrist, forcing Ma Feifei to release his grip on Yun Qingyang's hand.

"Ma Feifei, tell me honestly, did you want to poison him? No wonder you were so kind to let me make medicine last time, you just wanted to pin the blame for poisoning Qin Shi Huang on me, didn't you!" Yun Qingyang wrinkled his nose, staring at Ma Feifei with a look that said, 'I see right through you.'

"Your imagination is really wild these days. It seems God has given you all the technological advancements except for your intelligence." Ma Feifei rolled his eyes. He couldn't be bothered to argue with Yun Qingyang about such trivial matters.

"What do you mean by that?" Yun Qingyang stared intently at Ma Feifei, blinked her big eyes, and asked blankly.

"It's nothing, I just meant to compliment your intelligence." Ma Feifei had just finished speaking when she caught a glimpse of Xu Fu entering out of the corner of her eye.

"Shopkeeper, the entire Qin State trusts you. Please, we beg you, to heal His Your Majesty!" Xu Fu approached Ma Feifei from three steps away and bowed.

Well, that's a bad label they've put on you.
