Qin Shi Huang Went Mad
Ma Feifei doesn't know whether Qin Shi Huang truly Longevity and Immortality forever.
But Ma Feifei knew that Qin Shi Huang had gone mad!
They've completely gone mad!
Although he regained his energy after leaving the God of War Hall, he began to laugh arrogantly, constantly talking about Longevity and Immortality. His eyes were filled with extreme excitement, and he was starting to show signs of mental illness. What else could he be but madness?
In this state of affairs, how could Ma Feifei dare to provoke Qin Shi Huang? He secretly pulled Yun Qingyang away from the Afang Palace, mounted a cloud, and flew towards the Bookstore. He needed to get back to the Bookstore quickly, otherwise, what if the ministers discovered that Qin Shi Huang had gone mad and came after him?
"Ma Feifei, why are you running so fast?" On the cloud, Yun Qingyang was still puzzled. According to her, since Qin Shi Huang came out of the book world, Ma Feifei, as the shop owner, should have tried to extort money from him. However, he not only didn't mention it, but also ran faster than anyone else, as if he was afraid of getting into trouble.
"Silly girl, didn't you see he's already gone mad?" Ma Feifei looked around and realized they were almost at Tianzhu City. She breathed a sigh of relief and then had the mind to answer Yun Qingyang's question.
"Isn't that perfectly normal?" Yun Qingyang replied in confusion. Qin Shi Huang's state was just like that of an ordinary person who had obtained a secret treasure. Moreover, Qin Shi Huang said that he Longevity and Immortality, so it was only natural that he was a little excited.
"It would be normal for an ordinary person to act like this, but who is he? He has been the ruler of the Qin State for over two thousand years. He didn't lose his composure even when he was on his deathbed, which proves that he has great self-control. Even if Longevity and Immortality is an exaggeration, I believe he wouldn't lose his composure like this," Ma Feifei explained to Yun Qingyang, word by word.
In fact, Ma Feifei didn't say one more thing: the elixir of Longevity Pill was no longer the same elixir with normal medicinal effects. After being refined by Yun Qingyang's skillful hands, the Longevity Pill had completely become an elixir with unknown medicinal effects.
Given the unclear efficacy of the medicine and Qin Shi Huang's reaction just now, Ma Feifei could easily tell that something was wrong. Otherwise, how could the usually composed Qin Shi Huang have lost his composure like this?
In such a situation, leaving that place of trouble is definitely the right choice.
"Did your book drive him crazy?" Yun Qingyang suddenly asked slyly.
"I..." Ma Feifei opened her mouth, then suddenly revealed a sly smile, nodding and saying, "Yeah, yeah, do you want me to find you a book to play with?"
"No way!" Yun Qingyang said with a look of disgust, and jumped down as if avoiding a plague, landing right in front of the branch store.
It was already night, and the entire Chang'an Street was pitch black. The branch store's door was wide open, but the inside was still completely dark.
Chang Kong stood at the door, gazing towards the Afang Palace. Upon seeing Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang return, he quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Teacher, Saint, you're back."
"Hmm, Elder Chang Kong, why aren't you resting yet at this late hour?" Ma Feifei jumped down from the cloud, looking at Chang Kong with a smile, and said.
"Hehe, I'm getting old, I've gotten used to staying up late." Chang Kong gave Ma Feifei a meaningful look and replied with a chuckle.
However, it's not necessarily true that he's old. In this world, once someone becomes a cultivator, being a little over a hundred years old is only considered middle age. The higher one's cultivation level, the younger one's age. Based on Chang Kong's current Spirit Saint realm, he has a lifespan of over two thousand years. Proportionally, he is still a teenager.
Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei nodded slightly. Just as he was about to tease Chang Kong a bit, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Elder Chang Kong, don't you find it too boring to be guarding the branch all by yourself?"
"Not at all. I spend my days reading, tending the shop, and contemplating the Tao. It's a very comfortable life, free from worldly distractions, and I don't find it boring at all," Chang Kong quickly replied. Chang Kong was being sincere. As an employee of the Mysterious Bookstore, he had the right to read books for free. He would usually take a book with him while he was minding the shop, find a place to sit, and read. His days were very fulfilling, so he never felt bored.
"That being said, the Bookstore has still decided to send an employee to the branch to help Elder Chang Kong Changkong out," Ma Feifei said with a smile.
"Chang Kong will naturally obey Master's instructions." Chang Kong bowed and said in a deep voice.
Ma Feifei immediately realized that Chang Kong had mistakenly thought he didn't trust him and had someone spy on him. He patted Chang Kong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "That's good. Liu Ying has just joined the Mysterious Bookstore. You'll have to teach her properly if she doesn't understand anything."
"Huh?" Chang Kong was taken aback.
Ma Feifei didn't reply, but withdrew her hand and ran into the Bookstore, calling out, "Yun Qingyang, wait for me!"
"Hey~~ teacher, your face..."
Three days later, a message spread throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent: the Qin State held several court meetings in just two days, discussing only one thing: Qin Shi Huang was preparing to attack the Yan State.
However, the Qin State has been quite turbulent recently. First, Qin Shi Huang fell seriously ill, causing considerable chaos throughout the Qin State. In addition, the Yan State was mediated by the Vast Academy. If Qin State chooses to attack Yan State at this time, wouldn't it offend the Vast Academy as well?
Regardless of the discussions, on the third day, the entire Qin State prepared for war, and nearly a million Qin State soldiers marched to the border adjacent to the Yan State. In an instant, the news spread throughout the Vast Continent, and all the states were shocked.
This is quite different from the battle Qin State and Chu Kingdom last year, which involved about 200,000 soldiers. Nearly a million Qin Army soldiers marched directly to Yan State, which was enough to show Qin Shi Huang's determination to attack Yan State.
When the news reached Ma Feifei's ears, he became even more convinced that Qin Shi Huang must have taken the Longevity Pill and something went wrong; otherwise, why would he suddenly launch an attack on the Yan State?
Although the Yan State is currently in turmoil, if the State of Qin State attacks Yan State, the struggle between Crown Prince Yan and Yan Xun will inevitably cease temporarily. They might even unite to resist the Qin State attack. In this way, the internal strife in Yan State would be instantly quelled by the Qin State attack.
Qin Shi Huang faced not only the Yan State, but also the Northern Liang nomads supported Yan Xun.
If the two clash, it will surely be a fierce battle, and even if the Qin State wins, it will not be an easy victory.
So this Qin Shi Huang must have ruined his brain by taking drugs.
At this moment, Ma Feifei had no time to pay attention to Qin State's attack on Yan State. He was heading Azure Dragon towards Canglong to complete the task of putting "Investiture of the Gods" on sale, which was also to pave the way for the new Main Quest.
