Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 440 An Encounter by the Lake, the Word "Mystery" Lingers in My Heart
Last night's events caused quite a commotion, but since it was the middle of the night, all that could be heard was thunder.

When they came out, there was nothing there.

The next morning, someone found a mangled fox carcass.

In the morning, a rumor arose that a demon had been subdued by heavenly lightning.

These things have little to do with Chu Danqing, because he is currently at Hidden Pearl Lake.

He arrived with Da Bao at the crack of dawn.

The main reason was that I was afraid of missing out on Bai Zhenniang.

Then he watched as more and more people gathered at Hidden Pearl Lake. The first to arrive were not rich young masters or ladies, but mostly ordinary people.

Not everyone comes here for leisure; quite a few come to make a living.

If business is good today, it can be equivalent to a month's worth of normal business.

Besides, most of these people are locals, and they won't mind spending another day sightseeing.

So Chu Danqing and Da Bao chose a tea stall, bought a lot of snacks, and started waiting patiently.

As noon approached, Chu Danqing noticed some kind of disturbance not far away.

After looking closely, his expression brightened: "Dabao, do you think it's her?"

At the center of the riot were two women, a mistress and a maid. The mistress, dressed in white, was Bai Zhenniang, while the maid, dressed in green, was someone Chu Danqing did not recognize.

Da Bao stood up and carefully examined Bai Zhenniang, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like her."

"No, not that good-looking."

Chu Danqing nodded: "Yes, it's like having a beauty filter on."

The other party's use of beauty filters was a devastating blow, which is why it caused a commotion in Hidden Pearl Lake.

"But are these two, one in white and one in green, cosplaying as the White Snake and Xiaoqing?" Chu Danqing remarked.

As Chu Danqing grumbled, the commotion quickly subsided.

"Let's go, let's meet." After Chu Danqing finished speaking, Da Bao immediately led the way.

There were too many people. Chu Danqing squeezed through without thinking, and something bad was bound to happen.

But Da Bao is different. He's tall and big, and when he walks forward, people basically have to make way for him.

This situation naturally caused dissatisfaction, but upon seeing Da Bao's physique, they couldn't bring themselves to voice their dissatisfaction.

Bai Zhenniang also noticed Chu Danqing and Da Bao getting closer, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Thinking that this fierce man might delay her search for her benefactor, she whispered, "Qing'er, hurry up."

The two immediately sped up.

When Da Bao saw that the two of them were about to run away, he almost immediately activated Berserk and Fearless.

Fortunately, Chu Danqing reacted quickly and comforted Da Bao in the first place.

Thankfully, Da Bao was strong enough and managed to catch up.

“Miss, I’m here to find my relatives,” Chu Danqing said to Bai Zhenniang as soon as she caught up with her.

These words made Bai Zhenniang's expression stiffen.

If we're talking about relatives, of course I do.

My mother's side is completely dead, but my father's side is the White Dragon of the West Sea.

However, the problem is that because of her birth mother, the White Dragon of the West Sea would never acknowledge her and would only try to get rid of this bastard child.

"Young master, you jest." Bai Zhenniang believed that Chu Danqing had ulterior motives.

"I'm not joking, you're my DaBay's aunt." Chu Danqing said, raising her hand.

Bai Zhenniang subconsciously looked into Chu Danqing's sleeve and saw five small white snakes hidden there.

The little white snake also noticed Bai Zhenniang's gaze and flicked its tongue at her, trying to come out.

As a result, Chu Danqing reacted quickly and pressed him back down.

This unexpected turn of events terrified Bai Zhenniang, leaving her pale and distraught.

If you ask about her aunt, of course she knows.

However, the Golden Mother once said that the egg would die young and leave no heir.

"Go away, go away, what nonsense are you spouting?" Bai Zhenniang scolded with an ugly expression, "My father and mother only gave birth to one daughter, me, what aunts and uncles are you talking about?"

With that, he hurried away.

Chu Danqing followed and said, "Miss Bai, you are right. Your father and mother do indeed only have you as their daughter."

"But your mother is actually two sisters, they are cousins."

The more Chu Danqing explained, the uglier Bai Zhenniang's expression became.

She wasn't lying, and neither was Chu Danqing.

However, it was precisely because neither of them was lying that she was afraid.

As Jinmu once said, she was blessed with extraordinary talents, which is why she was able to ward off evil.

The other lineage of dragons and snakes is so ferocious and terrifying that none of them meet a good end.

She had only been in the mortal realm for a few days when she was entangled with this karmic debt; it was truly a karmic entanglement.

Bai Zhenniang was about to say that if you kept bothering her, she would call you a lecher, but her gaze was drawn to a young man.

The young man was handsome and stood out from the crowd. He captured Bai Zhenniang's heart at first glance.

It can be said to be exactly what I wanted.

“Since you are looking for your relatives, it is inconvenient for me to do so at the moment. Please stay by my side and we will decide your identity after we return to our families and meet with our elders. How about that?” Bai Zhenniang’s heart was filled with thoughts of that young man, and she suppressed her panic and fear.

Chu Danqing understood what the other party meant: she had important business to attend to now, and she couldn't say it openly; it wouldn't be too late to discuss it later.

"Okay." Chu Danqing readily agreed.

"Do not make a sound or move, just follow along," Bai Zhenniang instructed Chu Danqing once again.

This time, Chu Danqing didn't speak, but simply nodded.

He also noticed Bai Zhenniang's gaze; his benefactor was indeed handsome.

The four of them headed towards the young man, with Chu Danqing and Da Bao lagging behind.

The master and servant were huddled together at the front. Bai Zhenniang whispered to Bi Qing'er, "The destined one has arrived."

Bi Qing'er followed Bai Zhenniang's gaze and locked onto the person.

He immediately understood and extended his right hand.

Chu Danqing saw clearly that Bai Zhenniang had silently written the character "迷" (mi, meaning mystery) on Bi Qing'er's right palm.

'Something seems off about how things are developing?' Although Chu Danqing didn't recognize the thing, he was certain it wasn't anything good.

Just as they were about to stop them, the master and servant had already reached the young man.

Suddenly, Bi Qing'er twisted her ankle and fell to the side.

Upon seeing this, the young man instinctively reached out and caught Bi Qing'er.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bi Qing'er slapped the word "mystery" in her hand onto the young man's chest.

For a moment, the young man's liveliness dimmed, and he appeared rather dull.

"Thank you, young master." Bi Qing'er stood up quickly and bowed.

The young man's gaze fell on Bai Zhenniang, and he was momentarily captivated.

"Young master, why are you still staring blankly?" One of the people around couldn't help but chuckle.

This immediately caused a burst of laughter from those around them.

This startled the young man awake, and he immediately ran away, his face flushed.

Bai Zhenniang had the refined appearance of a well-bred young lady on her face, but she was actually quite angry inside.

If we hadn't been disturbed by others, and had continued deeper, our benefactor would have been easily captured.

He was seething with hatred and only wanted to drive away all the bad people around him.

'It's hateful that these people are doing such bad things; how can I have a proper conversation with my benefactor?'

'I might as well just use magic to disperse this group.'

With this thought in mind, Bai Zhenniang immediately recited the mantra silently and secretly made hand seals.

A dark cloud drifted in from the northwest, obscuring the sun, and then a torrential downpour began.

This caused great distress to the people who came to enjoy the spring scenery, as everyone scattered and fled.

Some called for boats, some rode in sedan chairs, and others hid in teahouses and hotels.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing knew that Bai Zhenniang was behind it, and silently took out two oil-paper umbrellas from her storage space.

Just as he was about to hand one to the other person, he saw Bai Zhenniang glare at him, signaling him not to meddle.

Then Chu Danqing could only hand it to Da Bao.

One of them is just right for the two of them.

Although they had shields and weren't afraid of the rain, they still had to hold on.

Then they saw the young man taking shelter from the rain under a willow tree.

Just when Chu Danqing thought Bai Zhenniang was planning to go and become a pair of lovebirds in distress with the other party, Bai Zhenniang cast another spell.

A gust of wind swept by, causing the willow branches to dance wildly, and the rain poured down, soaking the young man completely.

Chu Danqing's eye twitched at the sight.

First, it got soaked in water, then it was blown by the wind.

This guy is really unlucky; he'll catch a cold when he gets back.

"Miss Bai, take it easy," Chu Danqing couldn't help but remind her.

This isn't modern times, where you can just take some medicine to get better if you have a cold or fever.

Given the conditions in ancient times, a cold could truly be fatal.

Enduring it might not necessarily get better; it could even lead to death.

Bai Zhenniang replied, "I know what I'm doing."

The young man knew he would definitely fall ill this time, so he had to rush home.

But if you go back in the wind and rain, you will inevitably get sicker afterward.

Fortunately, he spotted an empty boat and quickly brought the old man rowing the boat over.

After discussing it, they boarded the ship.

Seeing this, Bai Zhenniang also rushed over with Bi Qing'er.

The boat had only rowed a short distance when Bai Zhenniang arrived with lightning speed and called out, "Boatman, if you're willing to take us across, I'll give you extra money for the boat."

"Our path in pop music is difficult; we hope you can do something good for us."

Upon hearing the voice, the young man's heart skipped a beat, and he said to the old man, "Boatman, please lend a hand."

"As long as you don't charge me the full fare, sir, it's fine." After the old boatman finished speaking, he called out to Bai Zhenniang, "The boat can take you, but if you want to go to the river village gate, sir, do you know if you can go there?"

Bai Zhenniang didn't care where she went; her main concern was keeping up with this young man.

So he immediately said, "As long as you agree, there's nothing you can't go. We also have relatives at Hezhuangmen who we can stay with."

With that said, the boatman rowed the boat back.

Biqing helped Baizhenniang onto the boat and they sat down.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing hesitated as well.

It doesn't seem appropriate for me to go up there myself.

Judging from Bai Zhenniang's appearance, she's definitely going to 'devour' this young man tonight. We need to warm things up with some flirting first.

He'd be a third wheel if he went along, and he'd be annoying to everyone.

However, while he hesitated, Da Bao did not and boarded the ship immediately.

'I'm definitely going to be a third wheel.' Chu Danqing sighed inwardly, then boarded the boat and said, 'Boatman, I'm also going to Hezhuangmen, we can go together on the way.'

"You'll definitely get your share of the boat fare."

Since things have come to this, let's sit down and talk about it first.
