Man-Book Unity

Ma Feifei didn't think as much as Mo Xie. To him, it didn't matter whether someone had a deep background or not, since they weren't as well-connected as him. It also didn't matter whether someone was strong or not, since they weren't as strong as him.

However, Ma Feifei was quite satisfied that Mo Xie was able to complete the task so quickly. He took the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip, turned around, and sat down on the rocking chair in the courtyard.

Mo Xie followed her in naturally, and closed the door behind her.

"What are you doing here?" Ma Feifei asked, puzzled.

Mo Xie rubbed his hands together sheepishly and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, does your Bookstore need any staff? I can do anything, like serving tea and water."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei was quite surprised. He had been somewhat reluctant to recruit Mo Xie as Bookstore employee before, but now he was taking the initiative to join the Mysterious Bookstore, all within the time it took to complete the Investiture of the Gods mission.

Could it be that something unknown happened to Mo Xie during this mission, causing him to change his attitude towards the Mysterious Bookstore?

"We didn't need it before, but we don't now. Let's go back quickly." Ma Feifei waved his hand. He had just heard the system's notification that the task was completed and was anxiously studying it. He didn't have time to chat idly with Mo Xie.

Furthermore, is Mysterious Bookstore short of staff? They gave Mo Xie a chance before, but he didn't cherish it. Now they've changed their minds and expect Ma Feifei to agree? How is that possible?

"Ah..." Mo Xie was a little disappointed, but he knew that since Ma Feifei had refused, there was no point in saying anything more, so he wisely didn't dwell on the matter.

"Then, shopkeeper, you're busy. I'll take my leave now." Mo Xie Xiao Mo, bowing to Ma Feifei with his smile unchanged.

Ma Feifei nodded slightly, and Mo Xie then slowly stepped back, opened the back door, and left.

After watching Mo Xie leave, Ma Feifei quickly accessed his mind and found the system notification record from earlier.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the Main Quest 'Romance of Wind and Cloud,' and obtaining the Bookstore license as a reward: The Walking Books."

Walking Books: Everyone's life is a book, a story, a memory, a series of joys and sorrows, and also a journey of self-cultivation.

Therefore, people are books, and books are people.

The host can use the 'Walking Books' license. After the license is used, the other party will enter the 'Man-Book Unity' state. (Note: A person who has entered the Man-Book Unity state can choose certain segments of their life, or the entirety of their life, to create a book for others to read. Viewers also have the opportunity to obtain a portion of the benefits that the author once received from the book. At the same time, the more people who read the book, the more benefits the author will receive.)

Note: The Walking Books is currently in the initial licensing stage. Each signing of the Walking Books cannot exceed 36 people and cannot exceed three months. Each author can publish a maximum of three books.

After reading the message left by the system, Ma Feifei couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement. The system's permission was simply incredible! It directly compiled a person's entire life into a book, and readers could have a chance to gain access to the opportunities that person had in their life—it was practically an inheritance!

Furthermore, authors can also benefit from the number of times their books are viewed, meaning both parties can gain something.

Of course, there's no need to worry about the author's secrets being exposed. The system clearly states that authors can choose which sections to include in their books. This means that readers can share stories they don't consider secrets, while choosing not to include more private matters. This perfectly eliminates the author's concerns, allowing them to confidently share their past experiences and perhaps even show off a little.

"However, the author's income is tied to the number of viewers. If the more viewers, the greater the income, then will the author eventually abandon some principles and expose some top-secret secrets for these huge profits?" Thinking of this, Ma Feifei's heart fluttered. Gossip from the past is the most exciting thing.

"Hehe, we'll see then, we'll see then." Ma Feifei smiled slyly as he silently opened the Investiture of the Gods scroll and looked at the names on it again.

"One woman... two women... three women... four women..."

"..."

The entire Azure Dragon Continent was in chaos, utter chaos. Overnight, news that the kings of the four kingdoms of Qin, Yan, Qi, and Zhao had been kidnapped by a mysterious person spread throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent.

Especially the four states other than Chu Kingdom were thrown into great turmoil, with high-ranking officials and nobles as well as ordinary people living in fear.

The streets and alleys were filled with talk of the king's disappearance.

In order to stabilize the situation in their own countries, countries have gone so far as to send their troops into the cities in batches to patrol and guard the cities, in order to prevent anyone from suddenly running away and causing trouble.

For a moment, a heavy atmosphere permeated the entire Azure Dragon Continent.

The Qin State and Yan State were at war when the simultaneous disappearance of Qin State two rulers left the million-strong army at the front lines at a loss. As a result, both sides had no choice but to cease hostilities under the command of their respective leaders, withdraw to their respective borders, and await the outcome of the situation.

Thus, the war between Qin and Yan suddenly stopped, much to the relief of the people of both countries. After all, war is a very cruel thing, and the fact that there is no war is something for the people to be happy about.

Although the war has temporarily ceased, the news of the kings' capture has instilled even greater panic among the people, especially with all four kings captured.

It's impossible to say that there was no reason why the kings of the four states were captured at the same time. Moreover, among the five states, only King Chu Qiong of the Chu Kingdom was not captured. Therefore, it's easy for people to point the finger at the Chu Kingdom and assume that Chu Kingdom was the one who captured the kings of the other four states.

Although this claim is somewhat absurd, and people don't really believe that Chu Kingdom has the strength to kidnap four kings at the same time, the Qin State and Zhao States, which border Chu Kingdom, have already strengthened their defenses along Chu Kingdom's borders, fearing that Chu Kingdom might directly attack them.

Although the sudden abduction of the four kings surprised the Chu Kingdom with a hint of smugness, it was indeed a bit unfair to pin this on the Chu Kingdom. At least, Empress King Chu Qiong was somewhat amused and exasperated upon hearing the news.

The Chu Imperial Capital, the Chu Imperial Palace, the Qiongyu Hall.

The Empress was standing in the main hall, writing at her desk. Behind her stood two palace maids holding fans on either side. Zhao Xiaodao stood beside the desk, quietly watching the Empress write.

"Isn't Your Majesty a little curious about the capture of the kings of Qin, Yan, Qi, and Zhao?" Zhao Xiaodao couldn't help but ask, looking at the Empress's calm and composed demeanor.
