Spirit of the Azure Dragon (3/3)

Zhang Ke was taken aback, glanced at Ma Feifei, and said with an embarrassed expression, "Shopkeeper, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Ba Jiu!" Ma Feifei shouted.

"No, no, no..." Zhang Ke hurriedly shouted, afraid that Ma Feifei would call Ba Jiu over to beat him up again.

Ma Feifei withdrew his call and stared at Zhang Ke. Zhang Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper, the Book Spirit isn't with me. After the Book Performance World, the Book Spirit manifested and survived in various corners of the Azure Dragon Continent. Only by communicating with it through thought can you reach it."

"However, to communicate with the Book Spirit, one must first be a writer, and secondly, the communicator's cultivation must reach the Immortal Realm. Shopkeeper, your current strength is not enough. Even if I voluntarily give up, you still cannot communicate with the Book Spirit, let alone establish a connection with it or control it."

Zhang Ke was telling the truth. In the eyes of the book authors, Book Spirit were already very noble beings. They possessed independent consciousness, and after the Book Performance World, Book Spirit even transformed into the Great Dao and the Laws, maintaining the order on the continent. If one did not have the ability to break through this order, one would certainly not be able to discover its existence, let alone communicate with it and make it submit.

"Is that so?" Ma Feifei stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes. After listening to Zhang Ke's words, he had been thinking about one thing: if he controlled the Book Spirit of the Azure Dragon Continent, wouldn't he essentially possess the entire Azure Dragon Continent? Would he become a true god on the Azure Dragon Continent?

The thought of the Azure Dragon Continent becoming his possession filled Ma Feifei with inexplicable excitement, but Zhang Ke unexpectedly said that he was not strong enough to communicate with the existence of the Book Spirit!

"Yes, if you truly wish to control this world, I am willing to relinquish it, but only after you have reached the Immortal Realm." Zhang Ke hesitated for a moment, then added, "I do possess a secret method that can rapidly propel one to the Immortal Realm, but the prerequisite is that one is not bound by the laws of this world. How about you let me leave the Azure Dragon Continent, and I can immediately help you break through to the Immortal Realm?"

Well! Zhang Ke was hoping that Ma Feifei would release him, so he tried to find ways to Captivate Ma Feifei.

How could Ma Feifei not know Zhang Ke's thoughts? As for Zhang Ke's words, he couldn't believe them either. Putting aside how much of what Zhang Ke said was true, even if it was all true, once Zhang Ke left the Azure Dragon Continent, he would never relinquish control of the Azure Dragon Continent.

With his cultivation fully restored, Zhang Ke is like a tiger with its shackles removed, or a fox with wings; it will be difficult to catch him again.

"Alright, you can continue sweeping." Ma Feifei waved his hand, suddenly having thought of a solution.

"Ah!" Zhang Ke was somewhat surprised. He had thought that Ma Feifei would release him because of the Captivate.

"Hmm?" Ma Feifei frowned.

"Sweep... sweep." Zhang Ke, with a pained expression, ran to pick up the broom and clean the backyard.

Ma Feifei got up without making a sound and started pacing back and forth in the Bookstore's backyard, muttering to himself.

"Ding ding ding~~"

A flash of golden light streaked through the air, Liuli's figure appeared beside Ma Feifei.

"Father, are you looking for Liuli?" Liuli was wearing a yellow pleated dress, which complemented her pigtails. Her face was filled with an innocent smile that was so captivating that it was easy to be drawn into the story.

"Young Miss! Young Miss!" Before Ma Feifei could even speak, Zhang Caicai from the kitchen rushed out like a madwoman.

"Come back here!" Ba Jiu from the kitchen grabbed Zhang Caicai and tried desperately to back away. Zhang Caicai struggled, but how could she possibly match the strength of the enormous Qilin?

"How come you haven't gone mad even though your mind is being controlled?" Ma Feifei looked at the struggling Zhang Caicai and couldn't help but shake his head. He turned around, pulled Liuli to sit down, and asked in a low voice, "My dear daughter! Can you find the Book Spirit of this world?"

That's right! Ma Feifei wanted to use Liuli's help to make up for his lack of cultivation and communicate with the Book Spirit, and see if he could control this Book Spirit on the Azure Dragon Continent. After all, Liuli not only reached the Ninth-Grade Immortal Realm, but was also an immortal among books, and she could control those Book Spirit at will.

"Sure! Liuli has played with it before!" Liuli replied excitedly.

"Then could you invite it to our house as a guest?" Ma Feifei rubbed it together excitedly. If they could get the Book Spirit here, their chances of controlling the Azure Dragon Continent would be even greater.

Liuli tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Daughter, go ask it."

After saying that, Liuli spun around in place and disappeared.

Ma Feifei wasn't in a hurry, and just sat in the chair waiting, completely ignoring Zhang Ke who was sneaking glances at her.

"Ding ding ding~~"

A short while later, Liuli returned to the backyard.

"How did it go?" Ma Feifei asked curiously.

Liuli didn't speak, but spread her palm upwards, and a fluorescent light slowly appeared. Ma Feifei narrowed his eyes slightly, and the fluorescent light slowly disappeared, revealing Liuli's slender palm, on which stood a small figure.

The little figure was no more than three inches tall, but it was exactly like a human, with delicate features and a slightly Doduo face. When it saw Ma Feifei looking at it, the little figure even bowed and greeted the shopkeeper in a proper manner, saying, "I am the Spirit of the Azure Dragon, greetings to the shopkeeper."

"Wow! You can talk?" Ma Feifei pointed at the little figure in Liuli's hand, somewhat surprised.

Aside from Liuli, this was the first time Ma Feifei had ever seen Book Spirit in human form, and the Book Spirit could even speak human language and perform etiquette.

"Of course, it's Book Spirit that has devoured Life Spirit Crystal and evolved into a very high-quality Book Spirit. Moreover, Father, you've completed the Great Dao Laws, further enhancing its quality. Evolving into a human is naturally no problem," Liuli explained from the side.

Ma Feifei nodded slightly, looking at the Spirit of the Azure Dragon in Liuli's palm, and said with a smile, "Hello little guy, it's nice to meet you."

The Spirit of the Azure Dragon was taken aback upon hearing this. Just as it was about to tell Ma Feifei that it was already quite large, a shocked voice suddenly came from beside it.

"The Spirit of the Azure Dragon!!" Zhang Ke stood in the corner, holding a broom head and pointing at the Spirit of the Azure Dragon in Liuli's hand, looking completely bewildered.

The Spirit of the Azure Dragon turned to look at Zhang Ke, then suddenly realized and said, "It's Zhang Shushi! Haven't you gone back yet?"

Zhang Ke was speechless for a moment after hearing the Spirit of the Azure Dragon's words, and didn't know how to respond.

"Always making a fuss over nothing, drag him away, he's really in the way." Ma Feifei said with a look of disgust. Zhang Ke didn't have the demeanor of a first-class author at all; he looked like a country bumpkin. Judging from his appearance, he probably wasn't much better than the author from the Book Battle Continent.
