The Sect Leader Reads "Investiture of the Gods"
However, Lian Yi hadn't taken more than a few steps when she suddenly frowned, and in a flash, she hid behind a pillar outside the Wantong Tavern diagonally opposite, peeking out to look towards the Mysterious Bookstore.
A middle-aged man in black robes was standing where she had just been, exchanging pleasantries with Zhang Yunji. Even the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey leaning to the side would occasionally chime in with a few words, clearly indicating that the three were acquainted.
"The aura around him is so familiar, who could it be?" Lian Yi looked at the middle-aged man in black robes with a puzzled expression, muttering to herself.
Just as Lian Yi was staring at the middle-aged man in black robes, the man in black robes suddenly seemed to sense her presence and turned to look at Lian Yi.
"Scare!"
Lian Yi was startled and quickly turned and left.
"What is the Master looking at?" Zhang Yunji, who was talking to Mo Xie, asked in confusion when he suddenly turned his head.
Mo Xie withdrew his gaze and laughed, "It's nothing. Since the shopkeeper is busy, may I go in and look at some books?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunji smiled and said, "The shopkeeper instructed that if the sect leader wishes to read, he can come anytime as long as he brings enough Spirit Crystal. Please!"
"Thank you!" Mo Xie quickly returned the gesture with a cupped hand, and the two of them entered the Bookstore together.
Before long, Lian Yi appeared out of nowhere, hiding in a corner and staring at the Mysterious Bookstore, lost in thought.
Inside the Bookstore, Mo Xie browsed the bookshelves, a look of emotion appearing in her eyes as she gazed at the books displayed.
If we were to say who, besides Ma Feifei and Wan Jianshan, was the one on the entire Azure Dragon Continent who understood the wonders of these books the most, it would be him.
The 350 blue Book Essence within Wan Jianshan's body were actually divine beings residing within him. The fact that a celestial being nurtured these 350 blue Book Essence is enough to prove that in the eyes of that 'god,' a celestial being is no match for 350 blue Book Essence.
But now, the Mysterious Bookstore has far more than three hundred Blue Quality books on its shelves.
If we follow this line of reasoning, does it mean that Ma Feifei, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, can also be called a god?
Moreover, this place contains not only a large number of Blue Quality books, but also many Yellow Quality books. However, there are no Yellow Quality books on the shelves now, as customers have taken them to read, understand, and benefit from them.
"I've heard there are Epic-grade and Legendary-grade, but I wonder what kind of existence they are." Mo Xie wasn't in a hurry. He walked around the bookshelves step by step with his hands behind his back, not caring about the empty bookshelves. He eventually arrived at the fifth bookshelf.
"Huh? There's still one book left." Mo Xie was surprised to find a red-covered book remaining on the fifth bookshelf. He immediately reached out, grabbed it, and took it off the shelf.
"Investiture of the Gods..." Mo Xie looked at the three large characters on the cover, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. After hesitating for a moment, he stood there and opened the book to read.
In the beginning of chaos, Pangu; then the Taiji, Yin and Yang, and the Four Symbols appeared.
The day of Zi (子) is the day of Chou (丑) and the earth of Yin (寅), signifying the emergence of a wise and virtuous person who avoids the Youchao beasts.
Suiren invented fire to avoid eating fresh food; Fuxi drew the trigrams before Yin and Yang.
Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs to govern the world; Xuanyuan established rites, music, and marriage.
After reading a few sentences, Mo Xie silently looked around and, finding no one paying attention to him, breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked at the book "Investiture of the Gods" again, Mo Xie couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.
Damn it, I don't understand!
However, Mo Xie did not give up. He obediently found a small stool, sat down next to the bookshelf, and continued to read the book "Investiture of the Gods".
Fortunately, these words weren't many. Mo Xie looked through them in a daze until he saw the sentence: "Cheng Tang was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and his surname was Zi. In the beginning, Di Ku's second wife, Jian Di, prayed to Gao, and a black horse appeared as an auspicious sign, and Qi was born..." Only then did he realize that the main text began from here.
Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of that sentence, at least he knew that this was the beginning of the story.
Thinking of this, Mo Xie felt much better and continued watching "Investiture of the Gods".
In the backyard of the Bookstore, in Yun Qingyang's room.
"Qingyang, get up." Ma Feifei called out weakly, sitting on the bed made of ice in the corner of the room.
Before him was a gigantic dragon head, its eyes tightly shut, its breathing sounding like a category 9 typhoon. If it weren't for the purple light shield protecting Ma Feifei, he probably would have been blown away long ago.
"Smack!" Ma Feifei slapped the dragon's mouth, unable to resist complaining, "I'll let you eat, I'll let you eat! You've eaten so much expensive stuff and all that's left is powder. How come you didn't die from it?"
After Ma Feifei finished speaking, he looked down at the Book Spirit Stone powder scattered all over the bed and couldn't help but sigh. This stupid dragon really ate too much.
Yun Qingyang didn't react even after being hit, clearly because the energy contained in the Book Spirit Stone was so great that she hadn't been able to digest it yet.
"Just looking at you makes me angry. You're stupid, arrogant, and troublesome. How did I end up having to worship such a great god like you!" Ma Feifei looked up at Yun Qingyang's dragon head and got more and more excited as he spoke. He put away the light shield, scrambled up and stepped on it, and slowly climbed up to sit on the dragon's horns.
"Whoosh!" Ma Feifei drew the Remnant Sun Setting Sun Sword given to him by Yun Qingyang, and like a majestic medieval knight, he stood tall and proud, swung the sword forward, and shouted loudly, "Charge! All for the tribe!"
"..."
"Click click click~~!"
Just as Ma Feifei's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) was acting up, a sudden shaking came from below. Ma Feifei instinctively grabbed the corner of the dragon's head, and then felt a hurricane blowing in his face, forcing him to close his eyes.
"Sing~!"
A resounding dragon roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
When Ma Feifei opened her eyes again, she suddenly found herself above the clouds, with thousands of feet of sky below.
"Puff~ Puff~"
Beneath him, a colossal Frost Giant Dragon carried Ma Feifei, soaring through the heavens.
"Qingyang, you're awake?" Ma Feifei stood up abruptly, his feet on the dragon's head, holding the Setting Sun Sword in his hand, looking incredibly spirited.
Yun Qingyang ignored him, but that was alright; Ma Feifei didn't care.
Looking at the endless sky, Ma Feifei felt his heart surge with excitement and pride.
"Great Dragon Knight, march toward fearlessness!"
"Smack!"
Suddenly, Ma Feifei felt Gravity on his face, as if he had been attacked. Before he could react, he found himself back in Yun Qingyang's room. He was still sitting on the bed in the corner, but the dragon in front of him was gone. In its place was Yun Qingyang in human form, who was looking at Ma Feifei with Zhengyi frosty expression.
"Why are you in my room?" Yun Qingyang asked coldly.
"Uh..." Ma Feifei looked around, completely bewildered. Wasn't he just a Dragon Knight soaring through the heavens? How did he end up back here in the blink of an eye?
Most importantly, he's still sitting on Yun Qingyang's bed...
"If... if I said I came to discuss mathematics with you, would you believe me?"
