Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Thank you, Chu Qin!" Xu Ying replied with a smile.

"Don't mention it! Quick, come sit inside!" Chu Qin immediately opened the door and led Xu Ying inside.

Chu Qin gestured for Xu Ying to sit on the sofa, then he poured her a cup of tea.

"Thank you!" Xu Ying took the cup of tea from Chu Qin's hand and smiled graciously.

"Xu Ying, no, Xu Ying, you don't need to be so formal with me," Chu Qin replied.

"But I'm not anything to you, and you've been so kind to me. How could I not be polite..." Xu Ying said with a light smile.

"Yes..." Chu Qin was momentarily taken aback. His relationship with Xu Ying was indeed neither kin nor kinship.

However, Chu Qin quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Xu Ying, why were you waiting next to my house so late?"

"Do you still remember what you said to me in the Xingluo Empire?" Xu Ying asked.

"Hmm!" Chu Qin nodded, "So that means, you've already ended the sham marriage with Uncle Zhu!"

"Yes!" Xu Ying nodded and pursed her lips, "Ten days after our conversation, I ended my sham marriage with my senior brother. Right after, I came to the Tiandou Empire, to the Azure Dragon Duke's Mansion!"

"Ah? You've been here for a while?" Chu Qin was slightly surprised. Considering the time he had spent in the Sun-Moon Empire, Xu Ying must have been waiting here for quite some time.

"Yes!" Xu Ying continued, "But, you were not at the Azure Dragon Duke's Mansion, only Dugu Mian was staying here. His Majesty Dugu Mian initially wanted to let me stay at the Duke's Mansion, but considering he is a man and it would be inappropriate for me to stay with him, I went to live at the nearby Azure Dragon Academy with the members of the Women's Knight Group instead."

"And when I heard you had returned, I came to the Azure Dragon Duke's Mansion but couldn't find you, so I had to wait outside your room!" Xu Ying added.

As she spoke, Xu Ying slightly lowered her head.

Chu Qin's palms were also rubbing together somewhat nervously.

"Chu Qin!"

"Xu Ying!"

Suddenly, Chu Qin and Xu Ying called out to each other almost at the same time.

"Xu Ying, you go first!" Chu Qin said with a smile.

"No, you first!" Xu Ying replied.

"Ladies first, you go ahead!" Honestly, Chu Qin was feeling a bit anxious. He didn't understand Xu Ying's feelings and found it hard to speak his heart out.

"Then I'll speak!" Xu Ying nodded and looked at Chu Qin, "You said before, after my sham marriage ended, I should come to live with you at the Azure Dragon Duke's Mansion, was that true?"

"Yes, of course it's true!" Chu Qin nodded.

Xu Ying, now assured by Chu Qin, revealed a clear smile, then asked, "So, what do you plan to have me do for you?"

"Ah? You don't have to do anything!" Chu Qin replied, "By my side, you can play and do whatever your heart desires!"

"Isn't that like being treated like a child!" Xu Ying pouted slightly.

"If it really comes to it..." Chu Qin added tentatively, "Xu Ying, I could find you a reliable boyfriend!"

"A reliable boyfriend..." Xu Ying's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Right! Don't worry, this is the Tiandou Empire, no one will know about your affair with Uncle Zhu!" Chu Qin continued, "You should, too, find a boyfriend now!"

"Are you saying I'm old?" Xu Ying eyed him with a hurt look.

"No, not at all!" Chu Qin replied, "Having a home is what brings peace of mind. Rest assured, Xu Ying, the boyfriend I find for you will definitely be reliable!"

"I don't want it!" Xu Ying said with a firm expression, rejecting him outright.

"Chu Qin, do you know why I came all this way to find you?" Xu Ying said, biting her lip softly.

"Because..." Xu Ying looked at Chu Qin, her words trailing off.

Looking into Xu Ying's eyes, Chu Qin felt a kind of maturity blossoming within him.

"Forget it, it's getting late. I'm leaving first!" Xu Ying said clenching her fist, as she turned to head towards the door.

"Wait, Xu Ying!" Chu Qin called out to stop her.

"If you don't want a boyfriend! How about I become your boyfriend, how does that sound?" Chu Qin gathered his courage to say.

Hearing this, Xu Ying's delicate body trembled slightly, her steps halted, then she turned around, looking somewhat dazed and nervous, she asked, "What do you mean?"

"I like you!" Chu Qin looked at Xu Ying and said earnestly.

"But... Zhu Qing, Zhu Yun..." Xu Ying gritted her teeth and said.

At her words, Chu Qin smiled lightly. If Xu Ying had rejected him outright, it would have meant there was no chance for them, but her very question confirmed to Chu Qin what was on Xu Ying's mind.

So, Chu Qin walked over to Xu Ying's side, "Since there's no blood relation, what's there to care about? I can explain it to them. How about it, Xu Ying, will you accept me?"

Xu Ying was extremely anxious inside. To say she didn't like Chu Qin was simply a joke; who would travel ten thousand miles for someone they didn't like?

However, Zhu Qing and Zhu Zhuyun had always been the knots in Xu Ying's heart, since she really hadn't figured out how to handle the two women.

"How about I think about it?" Xu Ying replied after a short internal struggle.

But then, Chu Qin tackled Xu Ying directly onto the sofa.

"Ah... Chu Qin..." Xu Ying was somewhat surprised but not blaming.

Chu Qin became even more certain of what was in Xu Ying's heart, and he looked into her eyes and said seriously, "I'll give you one minute to think about it, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying stared straight into Chu Qin's eyes for ten seconds before saying, "Chu Qin, will you really explain it to Zhu Qing and Zhu Yun?"

"Yes!" said Chu Qin affirmatively.

"Alright! I'm willing!" As soon as she heard that, Xu Ying replied almost without hesitation.

"Willing to do what?" Chu Qin asked knowingly.

"I'm willing, to be with you, to be your girlfriend!" Xu Ying replied earnestly, not sure if Chu Qin was being serious or just playful.

After all, this was the most important decision of her next lifetime!

Hearing that, Chu Qin couldn't hold back any longer, he held Xu Ying's exquisite face and pressed his lips directly to hers, to which she immediately responded!

Soon, Chu Qin's hand became somewhat restless. After all, Chu Qin had just been in a state of hormonal surge, stirred up by Qin Sijing and Xu Shi Yun to the point of being hard to bear.

"Sorry, Xu Ying?" Chu Qin then became somewhat sober.

"No, it's okay!" Xu Ying shook her head, "I'm willing! Chu Qin, take me, I've thought about it for a long time. And if you don't, I won't feel secure, I even fear I might regret it!"

"Okay!" Chu Qin revealed a radiant smile.

How could Chu Qin refuse such a request? If he did, he wouldn't be a man!

Instantly, Chu Qin began to act without restraint...

The night passed without words!

Chu Qin became the first and only man for Xu Ying!

The following morning dawned.

Inside Chu Qin's room.

"Chu Qin, why did you drag me and my sister over here so early in the morning?" Zhu Qing asked curiously looking towards Chu Qin.

"Yeah, you're not going to tell me that early in the morning, you want Zhu Qing and me to... with you..." Zhu Zhuyun said with a teasing smile, "That's not necessarily a bad idea."
