Shameless Old Scoundrel

In the end, only King Zhao Kang, Qin Shi Huang, Yan Xun, and Crown Prince Yan remained on the scene.

Crown Prince Yan and Yan Xun could no longer drink and prepared to get up and go back to their rooms to rest.

King Zhao Kang, however, stood up first, slapping his forehead and saying, "I am not a good drinker, so I will go back to my room to rest. Please enjoy your drinks, my three kings."

Then King Zhao Kang fled.

Tai Yanzi and Yan Xun both stood up, and the maids on either side helped them up.

"Your First Emperor, since everyone is drunk, let's call it a day. Farewell," said Qin Shi Huang Yan, bowing slightly to Crown Prince Yan.

Yan Xun didn't speak; he was practically hanging on the maid, rubbing against her.

"How dare you address me by my name?" Qin Shi Huang sat quietly on the stool, coldly observing Crown Prince Yan and Yan Xun.

"Huh? How come you're completely unharmed?" Yan Xun struggled to open his eyes, looking at the fully conscious Qin Shi Huang, and was startled.

"Bang!"

His response was a stool that hit him squarely in the face, sending him flying.

"King Zhao Kang, you shameless old scoundrel!" These were the words that popped into Yan Xun's mind as he was thrown out.

They were tricked by King Zhao Kang!

Seeing that things were going wrong, Crown Prince Yan broke out in a cold sweat, turned around, pushed aside the maid, and ran away.

He was already completely drunk, and his legs gave way, causing him to collapse to the ground.

"Bang!"

Qin Shi Huang immediately kicked Crown Prince Yan in the stomach, sending him flying three meters away.

"Help!"

Yan Xun shouted loudly at the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey on the roof.

"Sorry, unless it's very serious, I have no right to interfere," the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey said with a shrug. This kind of situation is too common. The shopkeeper instructed that as long as no one dies, it's fine; otherwise, do whatever you want.

Besides, it's usually Yan Xun and his gang who bully Qin Shi Huang, Sky-reaching Ape Monkey is getting tired of watching it. Today, Qin Shi Huang is finally getting his revenge, and the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey is really excited. The little devil inside him is so thrilled that he's almost ready to cheer. He's far from offering any help.

"Bang!"

A stool smashed directly onto Yan Xun's head, shattering the stool and leaving Yan Xun dizzy.

"You think you're so tough? Get up!"

"Bang!"

"No wonder he's the son of that old scoundrel Yan Heng; they're a den of snakes and rats, resorting to nothing but despicable tricks."

"Bang!"

Yan Xun and Crown Prince Yan were so thoroughly drunk that they were no match for Qin Shi Huang and could only endure his punches and kicks. Their stomachs were churning, and the wine they had drunk was constantly being thrown up.

However, the two were quite stubborn and didn't utter a single word, letting Qin Shi Huang beat them until the beating was almost over. Just as the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey was about to stand up and stop him, Qin Shi Huang voluntarily withdrew his attack and turned to go inside.

Looking at Yan Xun and Crown Prince Yan, even their strong bodies couldn't withstand the Tackle Qin Shi Huang's physical strength. They were beaten black and blue and lay motionless on the ground.

"Sigh! These people don't act like kings at all; they're really giving me a headache." Ma Feifei shook his head and sighed after receiving the message from the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey. Their actions were truly detrimental to the image of a king.

However, from these situations, Ma Feifei could more or less see that it was impossible for the five states to coexist peacefully. In addition, Qin Shi Huang had gone mad. After the "Walking Books" mission was completed and Qin Shi Huang returned to Qin State, he would probably immediately send troops to continue attacking Yan State and finish what he had not finished in the previous period.

"Let them fight if they want." Ma Feifei felt that the situation was now out of control and was prepared to completely stand by and watch.

After all, he was just a Bookstore owner. His goal and idea was to make the Bookstore thrive. He couldn't control the battles between countries, nor did he want to worry about them too much.

Putting these issues aside, Ma Feifei began to study the current situation of Bookstore.

First, Ma Feifei checked the recent progress of the Flourishing of the Confucian Way and Daoism and found that the progress bar for Confucianism had reached 91%, which was 9 percentage points away from 100%. At this rate, it would take about a month to complete the task of the Flourishing of the Confucian Way and complete the laws of the Azure Dragon Continent.

By then, becoming an immortal will no longer be the biggest obstacle for cultivators on the Azure Dragon Continent.

Besides that, there's the character of the Book-holding woman.

Based on the investigation over this period, Ma Feifei discovered that the Medical Sage's closed-door disciple had been staying in Dubian Town, either staying at home or going back and forth to Wantong Trading Market, and occasionally going into Bookstore to read books.

The books they were reading were mostly medical books, which led Ma Feifei to guess that the other party probably wanted to learn some medical knowledge in the Bookstore, which is why they stopped in Dubian Town.

This girl is the eighth Book-holding woman that Ma Feifei wants to recruit, so naturally he has to pay attention to her. Ma Feifei even wondered if he should find a medical book as an exchange to make her Book-holding woman.

"Shopkeeper, that young lady came to the Bookstore again today." Zhang Yunji had just received today's special number and, remembering Ma Feifei's previous instructions, immediately ran to the backyard to report.

"Speak of the devil and he appears!" Ma Feifei snapped out of her thoughts and followed Zhang Yunji into the Bookstore.

The Bookstore remained peaceful and harmonious. However, the interior space of the Mysterious Bookstore had changed somewhat compared to before, because Ba Jiu had finally drawn his Qilin on it.

The gathering of all Four Spirit Pillars caused an unusual phenomenon inside the Mysterious Bookstore. Thin layers of mist enveloped the Bookstore floor, as if it were floating in the sky. Moreover, this mist was no ordinary mist; it had the effect of calming the mind and enhancing readers' understanding of the books.

In addition, according to the system's explanation, laws began to emerge within the Bookstore. Book lovers had the opportunity to comprehend the power of the laws within the Bookstore's memory simply by observing the entire Bookstore. However, this was only the system's explanation; in reality, no one comprehended the laws, not even Ma Feifei.

"Shopkeeper, she's over there," Zhang Yunji said, standing next to Ma Feifei and pointing to a corner of the Bookstore.

Looking around, Ma Feifei saw a woman in a green robe quietly reading a Yellow Quality book next to the dragon pillar. Through some small details on the page, Ma Feifei knew that this book was the first Yellow Quality book published by Mysterious Bookstore, "Thousand Gold Formulas".

"If I remember correctly, she's been reading this book for almost two months now. Why is she still reading 'Thousand Gold Formulas'?" Ma Feifei asked curiously. After more than a year of development, the Bookstore has a considerable number of books. In addition, Ma Feifei often goes to the store to buy books. Now, the Mysterious Bookstore has nearly a hundred Yellow Quality books alone.

Among these books, there are a few that are about medicine.

As a result, this female disciple of the Medical Sage only read this one book after all this time.
