Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 716 - 173: His Attentiveness

After Fa Xiaoyi left the Mist Canyon, the next day, Little Jinuo and his group also returned from Poluo City, bringing with them a truce agreement signed between the Dragon War Empire and Shang Kingdom, as well as a renewed alliance agreement between the two nations.

"Shang Kingdom and Ruison Federation have signed an alliance agreement. If Dragon War insists on annexing Shang Kingdom, Ruison Federation will certainly not sit idly by," Little Jinuo was unaware that he and the Dragon Riders had circled around Ghost Gate and then turned back. He only knew that this morning he received an imperial edict from Wohua Imperial City by Emperor Long Teng the 72nd, ordering him to immediately withdraw from Shang Kingdom and return to Wohua Imperial City.

Such an outcome, although somewhat unexpected, seemed reasonable in the grand scheme of things.

The long-standing struggle between the Dragon War Empire and the Ruison Federation over Shang Kingdom caused it to be like an ancient tower swaying in a storm, shaking but not falling.

Whether it was Divine Court’s covert manipulation or truly the intervention of Ruison Federation is no longer important to Yue Jinghua and Little Jinuo.

No matter how much Princess Long Xue insisted, the sovereign of Dragon War will always be Long Teng the 72nd. The emperor’s command is immovable as mountains.

"It truly is ironic; after months of hard work, with the Blood Prison Army entirely annihilated, the result is just this," Little Jinuo was clearly dissatisfied with such an outcome of the battle.

After all their struggles and near-death experiences in the Mist Canyon, it all ended with only a truce agreement and an alliance treaty.

The battlefield, which should be the most ruthless place, has now become as volatile as a child’s face—one moment one thing, the next, entirely another, akin to child’s play.

Due to his dissatisfaction with the battle outcomes, Little Jinuo disregarded the imperial edict to immediately return to the imperial city, instead, he took the group of Dragon Riders to rest for several days in Five Saints Town with good food and good wine.

This also allowed Yue Jinghua a brief period to inspect the business operations of the shops in Five Saints Town.

Owing to Qian Luo’s blessing, with several Transmission Arrays connected between Fengdan County, Five Saints Town, Wohua Imperial City, Greenland Black Forest, and High Mountain Breeding Farm, businesses in all of Yue Jinghua’s shops flourished. With the aid of Boss Lady Hellen, known for her extraordinary social skills, Yue Jinghua’s shops are almost guaranteed success.

Since Little Jinuo decided to reward his men by resting for a while in Five Saints Town, known as a town with hot springs, Yue Jinghua was also happy to review the situation of each shop.

Compared to Little Jinuo’s frustration, Yue Jinghua’s journey north was more like hitting a super jackpot. Her unexpected gains were not just the Gravity Ring or the advanced Snake-haired Gorgon but also an extraordinary gift from Little Qingpu or, namely, Cannibal Small Qingpu.

On this day, just as Yue Jinghua had finished inspecting the shops in Five Saints Town and returned to her residence, she saw Cannibal Small Qingpu sneaking around her room.

Upon seeing her owner, Cannibal Small Qingpu affectionately rubbed Yue Jinghua’s hand with its fuzzy leaves.

"What is it? Do you have something to say to me?" Yue Jinghua was very fond of Cannibal Small Qingpu. In her eyes, even though Cannibal Small Qingpu had now grown into a formidable Devil Wood capable of swallowing High-level Dark Beasts, it remained in her heart the same weak wild dandelion Pu she first encountered.

Noticing its owner’s attention, Cannibal Small Qingpu proudly shook its head and swayed, its body growing even bigger.

"Keep it down a bit. How many Black Knights did Qingpu absorb last time with you? This head is outrageously big," Yue Jinghua muttered upon seeing Little Qingpu, its stem grown thicker than her waist. She couldn’t help but wonder how many Dark Beast Xuan Pills it must have taken.

Cannibal Small Qingpu seemed to understand its owner’s complaint. It patted its stem with a leaf, and its leaves split open, revealing a large mouth-like opening which emitted a rumbling swallowing sound.

"You’re not going to vomit, are you? No no no, go outside if you need to vomit," Yue Jinghua immediately covered her nose. It was quite common for Cannibal Small Qingpu to have digestive issues given everything it devoured, but she had never seen it have a stomach issue before.

Who would have thought that the Cannibal Small Qingpu, with a loud "wah" sound, spat out not some disgusting Dark Beast blood and flesh or bones, but several peony-sized, brilliantly colored Asura Fire Roses resembling pulsating black flames.

"Not bad, you’ve made progress, even learnt a cormorant trick, and have come to understand moderation in diet," Yue Jinghua had some objections to the Cannibal Small Qingpu’s binge eating, but it was rare that it preserved some precious Asura Fire Roses for her.

Yue Jinghua was delighted, as the Asura Fire Roses, compared to the Burning Poison Algae, were of a higher grade, and the Shura Fire they emitted could compete with the top spiritual fires on the Canglong Continent.

However, after a brief inspection, Yue Jinghua’s delight was replaced by shock.

The contract marks belonging to Fa Xiaoyi on the Asura Fire Roses spat out by the Cannibal Small Qingpu were all erased.

Erasing the contract marks of other Demon Summoners, how divine is this?

Yue Jinghua had no idea that the Cannibal Small Qingpu had learned such a Dark Technique.

The contract marks left by Demon Summoners on contract Dark Magical Beasts or spirit wood, Devil Wood are difficult to erase.

Yet, the contract marks on these Asura Fire Roses were indisputably gone.

"Did you do this?" Yue Jinghua was quite emotional as she patted the leaves of the Cannibal Small Qingpu.

On the leaves of the Cannibal Small Qingpu, a zebra-patterned fat worm appeared, and with its mung bean eyes squinted into an indecent arc, it cheekily said: "The Cannibal Small Qingpu told me to tell you, the one who insisted on preserving the Asura Fire Roses and giving them to you was not it, but Qing Pu."

Within Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness, Qing Pu frowned beautifully, thinking to himself, "Damn Gold Eater Worm, looks like next time I’ll have to teach it more complex Gu Worm Techniques."

Despite this, a smile appeared at the corner of Qing Pu’s mouth.

Giving gifts is not only something Zong Shaoqing can do.

Outside the Star Sea, Yue Jinghua glanced at the few blooming enchantingly beautiful Asura Fire Roses, and vaguely, she seemed to see Qing Pu standing amidst the fiery and bustling Asura Fire Roses.

Even the Asura Fire Roses couldn’t hide his bewitchingly handsome face.

A gift from Qing Pu?

Yue Jinghua shivered, this message was undoubtedly more bizarre than the Gravity Ring on her hand.

Both a ring and roses, put together, wouldn’t that mean...

"Offering favors for no reason, they must be up to no good, either dishonest or thieving; these two men definitely have ulterior motives," Yue Jinghua hurriedly smoothed down the goosebumps on her arm, after all, the Dark Technique displayed by the Cannibal Small Qingpu this time held extraordinary significance for her.

A Dark Technique capable of erasing contract marks and assimilating the enemy’s Dark Beasts (spirit wood), with it, Yue Jinghua’s path as a Summoner will undoubtedly become much smoother.
