Death to Those Who Insult Me

As instructed, Liuli waved her hand, and rows of fluorescent lights appeared in front of her, lined up side by side.

Looking around, everyone noticed that each fluorescent object contained a small, square golden object, resembling a book.

"This contains the essence of our Neurotic Bookstore, the benefit that all customers dream of obtaining— the Book Spirit within the books," Ma Feifei said calmly, glancing at everyone's expressions out of the corner of her eye.

Most people showed surprise in their eyes, but they weren't too excited. A small number of people even remained expressionless, which made Ma Feifei a little puzzled.

Could it be that, as the Book Spirit of the Mysterious Bookstore, it has absolutely no appeal?

It should be noted that since the beginning of the Mysterious Bookstore, the Book Spirit has only appeared before the world twice: once when Gongsun Qiong obtained the Book Spirit the Analects, and once when Luan Feng obtained the Book Spirit of the Art of War.

Of course, Luan Feng later obtained the Book Spirit of the book "Six Secret Teachings" a second time, and Zhang Yunji also obtained the Book Spirit once, but those were all done in private and were not known to the world.

Therefore, in the eyes of the world, the Book Spirit in the Mysterious Bookstore must be the rarest things.

"To thank everyone for your strong support of the Mysterious Bookstore over the past three months, I, the shopkeeper, am gifting you these Book Spirit, wishing you all further progress in your cultivation." Although somewhat puzzled by everyone's reaction, Ma Feifei still had to continue. These Present were carefully selected by him, and he even used the power of Liuli to Sheer Force separate the Book Spirit from the books, which consumed a lot of his energy.

"Thank you very much, shopkeeper." Everyone bowed and expressed their gratitude.

Ma Feifei waved his hand, Liuli understood. The Book Spirit then flew towards the thirty-five people. Everyone knew more or less about the legend of the Book Spirit, so they did not resist the Book Spirit flying towards them and let them enter their bodies.

"Buzz"

At this moment, Qiu Yunzi, the Supreme Elder of the Shangqing Sect, broke through to the next level.

"Buzz"

Lingyun Fairy, ranked second on the Fairy Ranking, has also broken through.

"Buzz"

One after another, the thirty-five important figures all received some improvement in their cultivation. The main reason why most of them failed to break through their realms was that their cultivation was too high. The Book Spirit of the Yellow Quality book alone could not help them step into the Immortal Realm.

After all thirty-five people had been recruited, Ma Feifei continued, "I remember the shop owner saying before that the top three most popular customers in this 'Walking Books' event would receive even more rewards."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned towards Qin Shi Huang.

The reason is simple: Qin Shi Huang has been the most popular figure among customers in the past three months. His books are not only expensive, but also widely read, resulting in the highest revenue and other benefits.

Qin Shi Huang remained silent, standing still as if nothing could move him.

Ma Feifei smiled wryly. This big shot really likes to act profound all the time.

"Over the past three months, the people who have viewed the most books are Qin Shi Huang, King Qi Wen, and Lingyun Fairy," Ma Feifei read slowly.

Everyone continued listening, and Ma Feifei, without pausing, continued, "First of all, congratulations to them for winning the top three places this time, and the shop owner has already prepared the rewards for the top three."

At this point, Ma Feifei took out three pieces of cut-out paper, each with a portrait of Ma Feifei on it and Ma Feifei autograph next to it.

Everyone was bewildered when Ma Feifei suddenly pulled out his portrait, not knowing what he meant.

"Here, this is your reward for the three of you: a portrait painting personally signed by the shop owner!" Ma Feifei said happily. This painting was commissioned by him from Yun Qingyang, and combined with his autograph, it was extremely precious. There was no similar painting in the entire Azure Dragon Continent.

"..." The thirty-five people stared silently at the portrait in Ma Feifei's hand, their expressions rather strange, unsure of how to express themselves.

"What? You don't like it?" Ma Feifei asked, puzzled.

"I like it, of course I like it." King Qi Wen happily stepped forward and took a painting. He looked at the portrait of Ma Feifei with great satisfaction. He didn't know what style it was, but although it was small, it was very cute. Moreover, there were rumors all over the continent that his daughter was going to marry Ma Feifei. As the saying goes, an old father-in-law looks at his son-in-law and the more he looks at him, the more pleasing he becomes. How could he not like him?

"Thank you for the painting, shop owner." Lingyun Fairy stepped forward, took the portrait, and then stepped aside.

As for Qin Shi Huang, it was simple. He didn't care at all what the reward was; he simply accepted it and bowed as a way of expressing his gratitude.

"Alright, the 'Walking Books' project has now come to a successful conclusion. From this moment on, you are all free. Please proceed!"

Upon hearing Ma Feifei's words, the thirty-five important figures who had been Sheer Force abducted by Mo Xie vanished instantly. They had been trapped for three whole months; important figures like them had far too many things to deal with.

"Return to Yan State immediately, or we'll likely be blocked by Qin Shi Huang." On the way, Yan Xun and Crown Prince Yan flew directly to Zhenbei, without even packing their belongings.

"There are people waiting for us a hundred miles away. Once we get there, we'll be safe," Crown Prince Yan said.

"Then why didn't you have them meet you at the door?" Yan Xun replied speechlessly.

Besides Yan Xun and Crown Prince Yan, other important figures who had previously attempted to assassinate Qin Shi Huang also began to leave in various places, not even returning to their residences. They were clearly afraid that Qin Shi Huang would settle scores with them later, since from now on, the Mysterious Bookstore would no longer protect their safety.

Having regained their strength, they certainly couldn't defeat Qin Shi Huang, whose cultivation level was unknown.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Qin Shi Huang is currently acting erratically and doesn't care about any consequences. If you really get caught by him, you could actually be killed.

Indeed, this was the case. Less than twenty minutes after Ma Feifei announced the end of the Walking Books event, Yan Xun and Crown Prince Yan were stopped by Qin Shi Huang thirty miles outside Zhenbei.

A fierce wind howled, dark clouds filled the sky, and there was no sign of life for miles around. Yan Xun and Crown Prince Yan stood side by side, staring intently at Qin Shi Huang.

"Qin Shi Huang, if you're so capable, let's settle this on the battlefield. What kind of skill is it to bully the weak with strength!" Yan Xun retorted, feigning composure. The worst had indeed come to pass.

A mile away, Qin Shi Huang, dressed in a dark black robe that fluttered in the wind, held a large black sword in his hand. His gaze was somber as he looked at Yan Xun and Crown Prince Yan, and said calmly, "Those who insult me shall die!"
