Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 709 The Hidden Dragon in the Yellow Millet
"Mr. Chu, look, it's him." Xiong Zhigang returned with his army, and after gathering his troops, he handed a head to Chu Danqing.

He returned a little late, mainly because he still had to clean up the mess.

Leaving so many corpses would cause a plague, so they were burned on the spot and then buried.

Now they are much stronger and more efficient than ever before.

There was a delay, but it wasn't long.

"Well, I don't know him." Chu Danqing had never met the Prince of Fanyang before, so naturally he didn't recognize him.

Chu Danqing's hidden mission was indeed completed, but this action was not to complete the mission for him, but to reassure people.

"Reporting to your two lords, this man is undoubtedly the Prince of Fanyang," one of the ministers immediately said.

He knew the Prince of Fanyang, so he could naturally recognize him.

Several other people corroborated the testimony, and that brought the matter to a close.

The head was quickly removed, and Chu Danqing didn't care what happened to it.

It has no value after it's used up.

Then, Chu Danqing sent it back to Xiong Zhigang.

[You have returned Covenant Target #2. Duration: 1 hour. Cost: Paradise Points x190]

Now, unless it's a long-term summoning event, the consumption of Paradise Points is basically negligible.

After Kumashige left, everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The main problem was that the pressure from Kumashiro was too great, making them feel uncomfortable all over.

Although Chu Danqing kept an eye on them, his intimidation mainly came from Dayu and Dabao.

Moreover, most of the time, Chu Danqing wouldn't make things difficult for them.

But Kumashibako was different; they could sense that the other party was definitely not a kind person.

With Chu Danqing present, Xiong Zhigang appeared very easy to talk to, but that was only towards Chu Danqing.

But it might not be the same for them.

"Alright, the matter is resolved, let's get back to work!" Chu Danqing said to everyone.

No one pressed for further questions, and they could only continue working according to the plan.

Chu Danqing then went around to a secluded spot and retrieved the treasure chest that King Fanyang had dropped.

He had already seen it before, but the timing wasn't right, and it wasn't convenient to take it out and open it.

(Note: Except for certain specific trial worlds, the future is not fixed; please be wary of the butterfly effect.)
Looking at the stolen kingdom necklace and the dragon shadow in the deep pool in his hands, Chu Danqing immediately thought of an extremely suitable seller: Cun Bai, who was skilled at body-snatching and possession.

The other party is a top-tier apostle just like me, so they must have quite a few good things.

Of course, the best-kept secret is definitely not going to be replaced.

It shouldn't be too difficult to switch to something that suits you.

As for the remaining Hidden Dragon Scales and Yellow Millet Pillow, the former is quite interesting, with a hint of plotting a coup.

The effect looks quite impressive, but the problem is that it's not very useful.

Effect 1 is quite suitable for Chu Danqing, but since it's embedded in Da Wang, it's impossible for Da Bao and Guo Ming to obtain it as well.

At most, we can only say that Da Wang has this ability.

However, Da Wang is just a magical chessboard; if a real battle were to break out, he would only be controlling five living defensive towers.

"Keep it, and later exchange it for some resources to see if we can get the summoned creature to get this Kingslayer effect instead of me."

"Then we need to change the nature of it. If we settle for the second best, Da Wang is a chessboard, not a weapon."

The main reason is that the fluctuating imperial star allows them to deal true damage to those with ruler-like status. If this attribute could be optimized into a summoning attribute, it would be quite valuable.

In particular, once Da Wang obtains it, due to the special nature of his class equipment, the bonus will no longer be fixed at 200%, but will increase with his rank.

The damage will be truly considerable at that time.

"It's a pity that the Emperor Star's swaying didn't work this time, but at least I got a chance to pass the Dragon Gate Pass." Chu Danqing smiled as he put everything into his storage space.

The main issue is that Wan Jun Di, as a deity, is not a ruler; at most, he can only be considered Zhang Di's tool.

Without Wan Jundi, Emperor Zhang becomes a weakling, so whether or not he inflicts real damage is irrelevant.

As for the millet pillow, it's obvious that it was definitely for Yang Qianyuan.

This thing is most likely not purely of the Celestial Mystery system, but rather a mixture of other systems.

It would be perfect for Yang Qianyuan.

His celestial secrets system is of the linear type, and it uses violent means to slightly interfere with and fix it.

Therefore, it is not that flexible.

The yellow millet pillow is more like a tree with many branches, rather than Yang Qianyuan's straight iron rod.

It's perfect for applying knowledge to other situations.

By the time the damage was completed, it was already beginning to get light.

Chu Danqing leisurely returned, while Lu Wanyi, the Empress, and others continued working.

Despite a night of 'diligent governance,' their domestic affairs skills did not improve at all.

That's how it is when you're forced into something; it'll take three to five months to get it done.

Chu Danqing will not help.

We can share the burden now, but what if Chu Danqing returns?
Even if Yang Qianyuan and Xiong Zhigang came, they couldn't stay long, since they would have to spend money at Chu Danqing Paradise.

Even though Li Qingying lived a leisurely life, she wasn't completely incompetent.

Chu Danqing is doing this for their own good.

It's certainly not an easy thing for a beggar and a vase to transform themselves.

Furthermore, if Chu Danqing were to go and help, it would inevitably lead others to have uninformed thoughts.

So you should diligently practice the Five Auspicious Symbols Diagram yourself.

Time flies, and Chu Danqing's trial time is about to reach zero.

During this period, Lu Wanyi and others have grown very quickly.

She couldn't be slow either, mainly because all sorts of things were pushing her, piling them up one by one.

"Brother Chu, you usually can't even avoid me, what brings you here today?" Lu Wanyi asked with a smile when she saw Chu Danqing arrive at her office.

The palace was being rebuilt, so they had to find a place nearby to use as a temporary office.

"I'm about to take my leave," Chu Danqing said. "My godmother and the Empress, you're both on the right track now, so there's no need for me to stay and oversee things for you any longer."

These words startled Lu Wanyi, who said angrily, "Could it be that someone is gossiping about Chu Ge'er?"

She didn't think Chu Danqing would leave for no reason; it was more likely that someone was jealous and deliberately trying to cause trouble.

Chu Danqing has tried his best to avoid interfering in politics, but these gossips are impossible to stop.

"No, it's just about time," Chu Danqing said. No one dared to be presumptuous in front of him.

Do you really think Da Bao and Da Yu are just for show?

"It's not like we never see each other," Chu Danqing said with a smile. "I'm summoning my godmother, so she'd better respond promptly."

After saying that, he added, "Remember to bring Lady Linshui with you when you respond."

Lu Wanyi's special skill is the Goddess of the Water, and the Goddess of the Water's special skill is to bestow eternal blessings.

If you didn't bring it, you'll have to pay to go back and get it.

"Don't worry, sir, I know what I'm doing." Lu Wanyi knew what the response meant, just like when Guo Ming and Xiong Zhigang were summoned before.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave now." Chu Danqing said and returned immediately.

Lu Wanyi was about to say there was no rush to leave, but before she could even speak, Chu Danqing had vanished.
