Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Mei Wu?" Chu Qin, with a raised eyebrow, said.

"Yes, she said that since Xiaowu didn't come home all day yesterday, she must have come to trouble you again. So she made this bowl of soup!" Bai Yingying nodded, "She asked me to bring it to you."

"Where is Mei Wu?" Chu Qin quickly asked.

"Don't worry, she's alright!" Bai Yingying replied, "She said she didn't want to come herself because it might make Xiaowu feel awkward. Chu Qin, you should drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good once it's cold."

With that, Bai Yingying gracefully extended the soup towards Chu Qin with her jade-like hands.

"Alright!"

Chu Qin then reached out to take the Bazhen Chicken Soup. The bottom of the bowl was very small, and so their palms inadvertently touched.

This was the first time Chu Qin and Bai Yingying had skin-to-skin contact. As Bai Yingying had long lived in the deep sea, her skin, like that of Bai Xiuxiu, was so cool and refreshing.

Moreover, Chu Qin noticed that there seemed to be a significant wound on Bai Yingying's lotus-like arm.

"Ying Ying, what happened to your hand?" Chu Qin quickly asked.

"It's nothing serious. I got it while sparring with Zi Ji just now by accident!" Bai Yingying hurriedly pulled her sleeve down and said with a light smile.

"Zi Ji really should know better. Why wield so much strength in a spar? Ying Ying, why didn't you ask Xiao Jiu to treat it?" Chu Qin couldn't help but feel concerned.

"It's not a big deal. For us soul beasts, this kind of pain is insignificant. Xiao Jiu and Bi Ji are still sleeping; I didn't want to disturb them!" Bai Yingying said with a radiant smile.

"That won't do! The damage done by Zi Ji's dragon claw is completely different from normal wounds!"

Chu Qin had a deep understanding of this. It was several years earlier, when he was much weaker, that Zi Ji couldn't restrain herself, and her nails embedded deeply into his skin, causing him to lie in bed for a whole day.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qin set the Bazhen Chicken Soup aside and also took the silver tray from Bai Yingying's hands, and said, "Come with me!"

Bai Yingying nodded and followed him with a smile on her face.

Chu Qin led Bai Yingying into the living room, then gestured for Bai Yingying to sit on the couch. He then took a bottle of milky-white, sparkling liquid from the Soul Guidance Container, "This potion is specially formulated by me to target the scars caused by Zi Ji?"

"I can do it myself!" Bai Yingying really hoped that Chu Qin would apply it for her, but she still said this. After all, Chu Qin didn't yet know about her relationship with Bai Xiuxiu.

"It's okay, let me do it," Chu Qin responded, "You are Xiuxiu's mother, considered to be my future mother-in-law. It is something I ought to do. Besides, Zi Ji is my woman, so I should take responsibility!"

"Alright then!"

Bai Yingying, upon hearing this, then rolled up her sleeve and extended her arm towards Chu Qin.

"And you say it's nothing. Look at this!" Chu Qin said with a bit of gentle reproach as he observed the somewhat shocking wound.

"I didn't expect Zi Ji's dragon claw to be so powerful!" Bai Yingying said with a smile.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine after the medicine is applied!" Chu Qin said, dipping his finger into the potion and evenly spreading it over Bai Yingying's lotus-like arm.

"Ah!" Feeling a burning pain on her arm, Bai Yingying couldn't help but exclaim softly.

"Does it hurt?" Chu Qin asked softly.

"Yes, a little!" Bai Yingying nodded.

"Inside, I've added some alcohol, which indeed has a stimulating effect on the wound!" Chu Qin replied, "But, you just need to bear with it a bit."

"Okay!" Bai Yingying said with a sweet smile. Her gaze constantly lingered on Chu Qin's handsome face, and she found herself thinking more and more that the man before her was so handsome, considerate, and gentle!

"Bai Xiuxiu, this guy is really lucky!" thought Bai Yingying to herself, "But that's not right, Xiuxiu isn't my daughter, so I should be able to be with Chu Qin, right?"

"But would Chu Qin accept me? I am three hundred thousand years old, and in human form, I look like an old woman in her thirties or forties, past her prime. Better forget about it!"

Even so, Bai Yingying couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Chu Qin, may I ask you a question?"

"Sure!" Chu Qin wiped his hands with a tissue and nodded.

"What kind of woman do you like?" asked Bai Yingying.

"Ah!" Chu Qin was slightly startled.

"Don't misunderstand!" Bai Yingying replied, "You have so many women, and each one is unique, so I am not sure what kind of woman you like."

"Well," Chu Qin said with a slight smile, "I leave it to fate, whatever catches my eye! Ying Ying, frankly speaking, I, Chu Qin, am a fickle-hearted man, so I don't have a specific standard for choosing a spouse!"

"Then, do you like mature, older women?" asked Bai Yingying.

"I like mature women!" continued Chu Qin, "As for age, it doesn't really matter. In Soul Land, soul beasts are often tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old, and humans' age has no limit either, after all, they can become gods!"

"Hmm," Bai Yingying nodded and smiled slightly.

"Aunt Ying Ying, why do you suddenly ask this?" Chu Qin inquired. He looked at Bai Yingying's peerlessly beautiful smile, and, combined with her words, felt a ripple in his heart!

"Chu Qin, oh Chu Qin! Don't forget about Xiuxiu!" Chu Qin silently chided himself, persuading himself to calm down.

"It's, it's nothing!" Bai Yingying replied.

After a pause, Bai Yingying mustered her courage and said, "Chu Qin, there is something I want to tell you!"

"What is it?" Chu Qin's eyes shifted slightly.

He seemed to read something in Bai Yingying's eyes, and sure enough, she continued, "It's about me and Xiuxiu! Actually, Xiuxiu, she…"

"Lord Chu Qin!"

Just then, a clear female voice drifted in from outside the door. Chu Qin and Bai Yingying turned to look and saw Elder Xu and Xu Yichen striding in, the young and the old.

"Princess Yi Chen, Elder Xu!" Chu Qin, slightly furrowing his brow at Bai Yingying, soon greeted them with a smile.

"Lord Chu Qin, please don't call me Princess!" Xu Yichen replied, "With your status, there is no need for such formality!"

"Then, then just call me Chu Qin! No need to add 'Your Majesty,'" said Chu Qin with a helpless smile.

"Alright," Xu Yichen agreed cheerfully.

Today, Xu Yichen was looking exceptionally radiant, with a touch of subtle makeup and dressed in an orange-yellow Wide-sleeved Flowing Fairy Dress that made her look utterly ethereal. Coupled with her seductive figure, it made Chu Qin take a few extra glances.

Seeing Chu Qin's eyes, Xu Yichen felt extraordinarily pleased. Being admired by an extremely handsome man is, after all, one of a woman's favorite things, especially since Xu Yichen had specially gotten up early today, spending an hour on her makeup and taking a long time to pick out her clothes, all for meeting with Chu Qin.

She was very satisfied with this effect.
