You promised it today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Chu, you don’t need to be so wary of me,” the village chief said, placing a leather-lined garment on the table. “You brought back my grandson’s bones—you are my family’s benefactor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We certainly wronged Da Bao, but have we wronged you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing replied: “No. But I hate your attitude.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared say this for two reasons: first, he had value; second, to vent for Da Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his two days with Da Bao, it was already certain he would form a contract with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could still tell friend from stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, you’re a good man. Hating us is natural,” the village chief said calmly. “It’s a necessary cost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you find me annoying, I won’t overstay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The item has been delivered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What you need will be finished tonight and delivered tomorrow with the final day’s food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, Young Master, we’ll rely on you for the Luohua Cave matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the village chief turned and left without a trace of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing sighed, then helped Da Bao carry the food inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bao ate in silence; Chu Danqing sat on a chair, examining the garment made from White Dragon Fish skin, pondering the village chief’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Silver Scale Cloud Brocade]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Type: Equipment · Undergarment]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Quality: Excellent]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Durability: 100\u002F100]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Defense: 10]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Qishang (Passive): Defense +10]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Equipment Requirement: Strength 5, Constitution 5, Agility 5]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An undergarment is the inner layer of a garment, sewn between the outer and inner fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing had never imagined this could be equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the question before him was how to use it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew how to sew, but altering a shirt and pants so drastically was beyond his skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much thought, he decided to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was twenty points of defense—what did a few ruined clothes matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, while clumsily working on it himself, he used the opportunity to begin discussing the contract with Da Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Bao, the White Dragon Fish egg is vital to me. If I give it to you, I won’t live long,” Chu Danqing began, appealing to emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he spoke the truth: without a summoned creature, a Summoner was little more than a living piece of meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bao paused his eating, then struggled to speak: “It’s fine, Young Chu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What I mean is, since Xianghua Village has abandoned you, come with me. Replace the White Dragon Fish and protect me—I’ll give you the White Dragon Fish egg.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I must warn you: coming with me will be dangerous. One misstep, and you’ll die.” Chu Danqing cut off Da Bao’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Staying here is different. I’ll help you kill the White Ape. With your father, the Cave God, you’ll become the next priest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Combined with the White Dragon Fish’s power, you’ll never fear danger or hunger—you can live happily forever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laid out both the dangers of leaving and the benefits of staying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Da Bao’s intellect was flawed; even now, Chu Danqing still felt conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Black Hole isn’t my father,” Da Bao corrected Chu Danqing. Then he said: “I… I want to go with Young Chu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Danger? I’m not afraid!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bao spoke urgently, as if clutching a lifeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, he had been abandoned by Xianghua Village; now someone was willing to take him in—he would accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Chu Danqing had treated him well—he knew that too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing that woke him must be incredibly precious, let alone one that endangered Chu Danqing’s own life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A gentleman’s word is binding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once you agree, there will be no turning back,” Chu Danqing said, pulling out the White Dragon Fish egg and handing it to Da Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t stingy—he’d wait until Da Bao finished eating the egg before signing the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were now allies, there was no need for excessive formality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly, he trusted Da Bao’s character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No regrets,” Da Bao opened his fanged mouth and swallowed the White Dragon Fish egg in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chu Danqing also pulled out a standard Summoned Creature Contract Scroll and formed the contract with Da Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1113,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fc8028652b8b0e06d5ef7c7a84541710f562ee1734207f127912997bd4ef2449","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-17","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-15",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
