The Bookboy Who Wanted to Escape
One hundred Book Spirit Stone for each person!
Xun Ling and Zhang Ke both exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with shock.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to give it to me?" Ma Feifei frowned and asked unhappily.
Ma Feifei has now realized the benefits of the Book Spirit Stone, but looking at the entire Azure Dragon Continent, apart from Ma Feifei himself, no one else possesses Book Spirit Stone.
However, Xun Ling and Zhang Ke are different. They come from the so-called Book Battle Continent and are also authors, so they must also possess the Book Spirit.
If we could get Book Spirit Stone from them, it would be a huge profit.
"Shopkeeper, Book Spirit Stone are extremely precious to authors. One hundred Book Spirit Stone are far too many. Moreover, we were actually subject to certain restrictions when we broke through the laws of the Azure Dragon Continent to enter. Not only was our cultivation level suppressed, but apart from these clothes, we couldn't bring in any other personal belongings, so..." Zhang Ke's face showed embarrassment. How could he not know what Ma Feifei meant? But that was indeed the case, and he had no choice but to accept it.
Xun Ling, standing to the side, remained silent, his expression somewhat displeased. Ma Feifei's demand for payment to gain their freedom was truly excessive.
"Oh?" Ma Feifei drawled, looking at Xun Ling and Zhang Ke, and asked meaningfully, "Since you can't bring in foreign items, why did you say you came to buy books from this shop owner?"
"This..." Zhang Ke was speechless for a moment.
"Heh." Ma Feifei sneered, stood up from the sofa, and said, "If you don't have money, then stay. Mysterious Bookstore happens to need two helpers, and I think you two are perfect."
"Ma Feifei, we are noble authors, how dare you make us do menial tasks?" Zhang Ke roared in fury.
"Smack!"
Ma Feifei kicked him directly, and in the process, used his Innate Purple Qi to seal all of Zhang Ke's meridians, causing Zhang Ke's cultivation to be sealed away, turning him into an ordinary person.
"Stop with this nonsense. I've never heard of authors, but book boys are quite interesting. Since the Bookstore doesn't have that profession, why don't we start with you guys?" Ma Feifei said, turning to Xun Ling with a playful expression.
Xun Ling stared at Ma Feifei for a full ten seconds with a gloomy face, then lowered his head slightly and slowly lowered his fists from his sleeves.
"Alas! I shouldn't have been misled by that bastard Zhang Ke!"
The two authors from the Book Battle Continent were indeed kept by Ma Feifei and even became book boys in the Mysterious Bookstore.
Yeah, basically just doing odd jobs.
"Tell your shop owner to release us immediately. We are from Yong'an Prefecture. If the Yong'an Prefecture lord discovers we are missing, he will definitely investigate where we went. At that time, the Azure Dragon Continent will inevitably be exposed to the prefectural lord. Our prefectural lord is a ninth-grade author, capable of destroying the world with a flick of his finger. At that time, not only will the Mysterious Bookstore be destroyed, but the entire Azure Dragon Continent will be destroyed by the prefectural lord. Do you understand?"
In the backyard of the Bookstore, Zhang Ke, holding a broom, looked at Mu Qingyi and Ba Jiu, who were squatting by the well washing vegetables, and said earnestly.
He and his uncle Xun Ling had been trapped in the Mysterious Bookstore by Ma Feifei for five days. During these five days, they did odd jobs every day, sweeping, wiping tables, organizing books, and sometimes even working as doormen. Basically, they did all the chores of daily life.
You have to understand, they are the most esteemed authors on the Book Battle Continent! They've hardly ever done these kinds of things in their entire lives, let alone done odd jobs for others.
In other words, they didn't know anyone on the Azure Dragon Continent. If this were on the Book Battle Continent, Zhang Ke and his group would rather die than work odd jobs at the Mysterious Bookstore.
"You've said that eight hundred times today. Why don't you go and say it to the shop owner yourself?" Ba Jiu said helplessly while squatting by the well and washing vegetables. This Zhang Ke was really too annoying.
"Your shopkeeper is young and naive. I hope you can persuade him not to go astray and ultimately cause the entire Azure Dragon Continent to perish for him," Zhang Ke said arrogantly. He wasn't exaggerating. Although he and Xun Ling would be bound by the laws of the Azure Dragon Continent when they entered, it was because their rank was not high. If they could reach the level of a fifth-grade author or above, they could ignore the laws of the Azure Dragon Continent and come and go as they pleased.
A fifth-rank author's own strength is at least at the Ninth-Grade Immortal Realm, and the cultivation of his Book Slave will also be higher. At that time, he can easily destroy the mere Azure Dragon Continent.
Ba Jiu waved his hand dismissively, saying, "You guys should beat up our shop owner first."
"You!" Zhang Ke frowned. He had tried to reason with him, but Ba Jiu didn't know what was good for him. If it were up to his usual temper, he would have given Ba Jiu a good beating and then sent him to guard the fir forest.
However, his cultivation is now sealed, so let alone Ba Jiu, even a random Spirit King level cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ke sighed, looked away and prepared to continue sweeping, but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Zhang Caicai in the kitchen.
Suddenly, Zhang Ke narrowed his eyes slightly and walked towards Zhang Caicai without making a sound.
On the rooftop, Yun Qingyang was painting. He stopped mid-painting, looked down towards the kitchen, and his eyes held a hint of curiosity.
Zhang Caicai was preparing dinner in the kitchen when Zhang Ke walked towards the kitchen. He immediately noticed Zhang Ke's approach, glanced at him, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Caicai's face was full of panic, her hands nervously grabbing the kitchen utensils beside her, at a loss.
"Do you... remember me?" Zhang Ke stood at the kitchen doorway with a broom in hand, a wicked smile on his face. He had almost forgotten about the Mysterious Bookstore and the seed he had unintentionally nurtured.
"I don't remember. The kitchen is a restricted area; unauthorized personnel are not allowed!" Zhang Caicai said sternly, but her flustered expression made it difficult to reconcile her tone with her words.
"Help me break the seal, and I'll help you become an immortal, take you away from here, and become my page." Zhang Ke's tone was full of Captivate. Zhang Caicai herself was a seed that he had painstakingly cultivated on the Azure Dragon Continent. Calculating the time, this seed should be about to blossom and bear fruit. It would be a good thing to be able to make use of the seed now.
Zhang Caicai shook her head violently, pointed outside, and said, "Get out! If you don't leave, I'll take matters into my own hands and force you to leave."
"Hehe..." Zhang Ke didn't take it seriously, staring at Zhang Caicai, and softly called out, "Come on, look into my eyes."
Zhang Caicai subconsciously raised her head.
"Buzz"
