Chapter 1, The Descent of Skull Mountain

A burst of wild laughter erupted, and the first girl to appear wore a face full of surprise, transforming once again into a skeleton, charging straight towards Yang Xiao

After a brief moment of astonishment, Yang Xiao quickly regained his composure, recalling the incident where another girl had turned into a skeleton, causing a layer of cold sweat to bead on his forehead

Ah, a ghost!

Bang

The system's voice, arriving late: "For the safety of the host, going out is prohibited until reaching the Great Luo realm!"

This bookstore only welcomes those who love books

The other party clearly noticed the bookstore as well, their eyes filled with astonishment, as they walked over along the stones in the river and arrived outside the bookstore

Yang Xiao felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and forced a smile: "The young lady is joking. Once you come in and see my books, you will change your mind."

However, after realizing that the other party seemed unable to enter the bookstore, Yang Xiao gradually breathed a sigh of relief

Witnessing the disappearance of the skeleton, Yang Xiao stood in a daze in the bookstore. Although he had anticipated it, he could not help but feel a twinge of fear upon realizing that demons and monsters truly existed.

A young girl arrived, holding a flower basket in her hand, her bright eyes wide open, curiously observing the bookstore and Yang Xiao

Yang Xiao was on the verge of tears, feeling frustrated with the unreliable system that had left him stranded in this desolate wilderness. He had nearly died of boredom over the past three days

Gazing at the extremely unwilling skeleton outside, Yang Xiao mustered his courage and said: "This is a bookstore; you are welcome to read, but if you do not wish to read, please leave!"

Yang Xiao was so angry that he almost burst into a tirade; if they weren't allowed to go out, then so be it, but why wasn't he informed earlier

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Yang Xiao, on the verge of tears yet unable to cry, finally caught sight of a figure across the stream.

After being stunned for a while, Yang Xiao came to his senses, muttering a few words, and began to curiously survey the room.

Humanity

The stunning young girl was also taken aback, as she had not noticed how Yang Xiao had made his move just moments ago

Rubbing his aching forehead, Yang Xiao stood up and inquired with the system about the situation outside, but the system did not respond.

A strange expression flickered in the girl's eyes. After observing for a moment and confirming her suspicion, she suddenly revealed a wicked smile. In the blink of an eye, she transformed into a skeletal figure, its claws lunging directly at Yang Xiao.

Upon hearing this, the stunningly beautiful girl looked at Yang Xiao with great interest

Yang Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief, realizing only now that he had bound himself to a system

Ding, a new beginner task has been released: sell a book. Reward: a beginner's gift package.

After half a day without results, Yang Xiao complained in frustration

With a loud bang, as Yang Xiao opened the door and was about to step outside, he suddenly collided with an invisible wall, bewildered, and fell to the ground.

( Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heaven Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, Saint )

The bookstore system of the myriad realms contains various novels that were popular in previous lives, and even some television dramas, movies, and comics have been adapted into novels.

The sunken eye sockets of the black hole sent shivers down Yang Xiao's spine

One of them was the skeletal figure of the girl who had just departed, and the other, upon seeing her visage, left Yang Xiao momentarily stunned.

After a while, suppressing the panic deep within, Yang Xiao slowly got up and took a few steps forward, coming to a stop about one meter from the door

He finally understood why the system would not let him go outside; the world out there is so dangerous, truly frightening, sob sob

With skin as smooth as ice and bones as delicate as jade, her willow-like brows are subtly arched, her petite and elegant nose stands upright, and her pair of apricot-shaped eyes shimmer like spring water, naturally exuding an enchanting charm

Damn it, why can't I move? Let me go!

What is going on? I merely touched the school beauty's hand, so why am I being sent to the small black room?

Thank heavens, I have finally encountered someone

Is that so? Then I shall take a look.

The skeleton glared at Yang Xiao, and after trying for a moment to no avail, suddenly swirled a gust of gray mist and headed across the stream.

Ding, the binding of the bookstore system of all realms has been successfully completed

At that moment, a vast array of unfamiliar information appeared in Yang Xiao's mind

It is uncertain whether it is due to her lack of intent to attack, but the barrier at the entrance did not obstruct her

Bound, the skeleton girl immediately let out a scream

Within the bookstore, he is the absolute master; a mere little skeleton cannot contend with him

With the sound of two crisp chimes, Yang Xiao found himself bewildered, realizing that he had appeared in a quaint and not very large room at some point without knowing how.

All treasures and elixirs in this world can be exchanged for book currency

My Skeleton Mountain has indeed seen a human, how strange

After waiting for a short while, a billowing gray mist came forth and transformed into two women outside the bookstore

Yang Xiao let out a light snort, walked over to pick up the motionless skeleton girl, and disregarding her fierce gaze, threw her out the door with great force

Moreover, the person before us is merely an ordinary mortal; how could he possibly control his subordinates

Having gained a general understanding, Yang Xiao, now calmed down, prepared to go out and see, wanting to first clarify what place he had arrived at

After reading the book, one can acquire the mystical techniques within, as well as elixirs, magical treasures, and other such items

With a light snort, Yang Xiao's mind stirred, and the approaching skeleton was as if struck by a petrification spell, frozen in place.

"Detestable humans, dare to toy with me. Once I summon my lady, I will surely drain you of your essence."

Clearing his throat, Yang Xiao said with a serious expression: "Miss, this bookstore has a variety of magical books, please come in and take a look"

At that moment, the stunningly beautiful woman spoke, her voice like the melodious song of a golden oriole, incredibly enchanting

From the information that the system just transmitted to him, it seems that he is not on Earth

However, for those with a narrow worldview, such as "Dragon Slayer Chronicles," "The Divine Eagle's Record," and "Xiao Ming's Flying Dagger," the book currency is quite limited

These novels are not free; instead, they require a currency known as book coins within the system

Outside the door lies a small stream, with towering mountains on the opposite side, ancient trees reaching for the sky, and thorns covering the ground. A layer of gray mist envelops the air, and from time to time, the sounds of wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards can be heard, creating an eerie atmosphere that is far from resembling a place inhabited by people

Yang Xiao was momentarily stunned, then recalled the matter at hand, suppressing his fear as he said: "Our establishment has a variety of magical books, would the young lady be willing to come in and take a look?"

The voice in his mind, he subconsciously ignored, thinking that he was experiencing auditory hallucinations

How could a good girl become a skeleton? Is this the legendary red-skinned skeleton?

Outside, a piercing shout rang out, and the skeleton transformed from the girl lay at the door, glaring angrily at Yang Xiao

With a sharp scream, Yang Xiao tumbled and crawled back into the house, his heart racing uncontrollably

However, he was not worried; within the study, he was absolutely safe. As long as one entered the study, regardless of who it was, they would have to submit to his control. This was what the system had informed him.

Quack, I have finally entered, human, let's see how you escape this time

Oh? Presumably, you have also guessed my identity. Are you not afraid that I will consume you

Due to the differences in books, the amount of book currency required for each book varies

If the people of this world see and comprehend, then I will gain

Roar, blood food, damn it, why can't I get in

Inside the room, there was only a bookshelf and a single chair. Yang Xiao glanced around and walked straight to the bookshelf.

Some works with relatively grand worldviews, involving a wide range of elements, require a greater amount of book currency

Opposite him was a bookshelf, which appeared empty and did not contain the books mentioned in the earlier sound.

The content of the message primarily consists of a brief introduction to the system and its operational methods

The stunning young girl nodded and stepped into the bookstore

Skull Mountain, which Skull Mountain?

"If you don't tell me anything and won't let me go out, how can I sell books?"

The calm awareness told him that the stunning woman before him was likely not human either

I am shocked
