Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

Yan Mei paused slightly and then said, "Great Worship, Yan Mei would like to ask for two days off!"

"Asking for leave?" Lord Chu Qin frowned.

"Yes!" Yan Mei nodded, "A good friend of mine has run into some trouble. So, I would like to request two days off from the Great Worship to make a trip to the Martial Soul Hall!"

"A friend?" Lord Chu Qin asked with a hint of curiosity, "What friend?"

"It's the hall master of one of the halls in the southern part of the Tiandou Empire, under my jurisdiction in Martial Soul Hall! Many years ago, she saved my life!" Yan Mei answered, "Recently, she has encountered some trouble?"

"Male or female?" Chu Qin probed further.

"Female. She's a bit older than me!" Yan Mei replied, "Great Worship, rest assured, I will definitely return within two days."

"Do you need my help?" Chu Qin asked.

"Such a trivial matter does not require the Great Worship's intervention!" Yan Mei shook her head.

"Very well then!" Chu Qin nodded.

"Thank you, Great Worship. If there's nothing else, I will take my leave now!" Yan Mei nodded and, having spoken, she bowed slightly to Chu Qin and turned to leave.

Once Yan Mei had completely left, Chu Qin turned towards his own room, "Come out!"

At the sound of Chu Qin's words, the door to Chu Qin's room opened, and a graceful, stunningly beautiful woman in a green dress walked out.

This person was none other than the princess of the Mountain Dragon Clan, Long Qianqian.

"Lord Chu Qin!" Long Qianqian approached and replied.

"Have you read everything?" Chu Qin replied with a smile.

It wasn't someone else that Chu Qin had brought back from the trial grounds but the person before him, the master of the Mind Reading Technique, Long Qianqian.

"Yes!" Long Qianqian nodded, "Lord Chu Qin, that Yan Mei, she likes you!"

"Tell me more!" Chu Qin's face brightened.

"Every time Lord Chu Qin talks about introducing her to potential partners, Yan Mei is extremely reluctant deep down. And when you asked her what kind of person she likes, she thought of you!" Qianqian replied.

Chu Qin smiled slightly, "I see. Was Na'er right in saying that bringing you out of the Dragon Tomb was the correct choice?"

"What about you, Qianqian?" Chu Qin went on, "Why does Yan Mei want to leave me?"

"Because..." Long Qianqian hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"Because of what?" Chu Qin urged.

"Because, whenever Yan Mei is with you, her body has certain reactions, she will..." Long Qianqian lowered her voice and whispered in Chu Qin's ear.

"Ah... How could that happen?"

"According to Yan Mei's own explanation? It's because her Martial Soul, the Evil Fire Flame Eagle, inexplicably generates some Evil Fire, so every time she is in front of you, she can't help but..." Long Qianqian spoke frankly.

"So that's it!" Chu Qin nodded. The Evil Fire Flame Eagle is probably similar to Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix. The latter needs Goulan to solve the problem, while the Flame Eagle feels uneasy in front of someone they like!

"So, she's been not wearing an undershirt on purpose..." Chu Qin asked.

"Yes!" Long Qianqian nodded.

"It seems I need to treat Yan Mei," Chu Qin thought to himself.

"By the way, Qianqian. Is it true that Yan Mei said she has to help a friend?" Chu Qin asked on.

"It's true, and it is indeed a woman, her cousin!" Long Qianqian replied.

"Alright, then that's settled." Chu Qin nodded, "Qianqian, I have some things to do, so you should head back first. I've placed an enchantment around Wuhun Hall's Courtyard, it's very safe, there's no need to go out unless it's necessary."

"Mhm mhm, Qianqian understands," Long Qianqian nodded obediently.

With that, Chu Qin turned and walked into the room.

Watching Chu Qin's retreating figure, Long Qianqian thought to herself, "It would be nice to have a look into Lord Chu Qin's heart!"

"No, no!" Long Qianqian shook her head, "Lord Chu Qin is Dragon King's husband. How could I presume to overstep my bounds!"

"Qianqian, what's the matter?" Seeing Long Qianqian standing still, Chu Qin turned, smiling, and asked.

Long Qianqian hesitated, then said, "Um… Lord Chu Qin, the Dragon King, they haven't come back from the training grounds yet. The courtyard is too large and empty; may I, may I stay with you for a while?"

By the end of her sentence, Long Qianqian showed a hint of shyness.

Chu Qin smiled slightly, "Alright then, as it happens, I need an assistant!"

"Mhm mhm!" Long Qianqian replied, her voice filled with happiness.

Chu Qin led Long Qianqian into his room.

"Is this Lord Chu Qin's room?" Long Qianqian remarked on the cleanliness and the distinct scent of Chu Qin's room, feeling incredibly comfortable yet somewhat nervous.

"Ah? Qianqian, what did you say?" Chu Qin asked.

"Nothing!" Long Qianqian quickly responded, "Lord Chu Qin, I mean, your room is very clean."

"Just now, it must have been Yuehua tidying up a bit," Chu Qin said with a smile.

"Ah? How did you know?" Long Qianqian asked.

"Because when Yuehua arranges my room, she folds the blankets differently, usually placing my pillow in the middle of the bed," Chu Qin explained with a gentle smile.

"It seems, Lord Chu Qin, that you're such a thoughtful person!" Long Qianqian replied with a smile.

"Understanding every woman's habits is something a man should do," Chu Qin responded. While speaking, he pressed a certain spot on the wall, and the stone wall parted in the middle.

Inside, a secret chamber was revealed, filled with bottles and jars of all kinds, resembling an apothecary.

"Lord Chu Qin, is this where you make your medicines?" Long Qianqian asked curiously.

"Previously, I spent a long time in the Martial Soul Hall, crafting medicines and poisons with Master Dugu, Zi Ji, and others, including the Strong Dragon Tail Wine…" Chu Qin recounted.

"Strong Dragon Tail Wine…" Long Qianqian murmured the unfamiliar term, a trace of confusion in her heart.

"So, Lord Chu Qin, what did we come in here for?" Long Qianqian asked. She seemed very eager to talk to Chu Qin.

"Just now, didn't you say that Yan Mei's Martial Soul is inherently combined with an Evil Flame?" Chu Qin replied, "I remember in the Mystic Sky Records, there is an herb that can cure all poisonous flames. Although it's from Tang San's previous life in the Tang Sect, I believe it should work similarly to suppress the Martial Soul Evil Flame."

"Tang San, previous life… Tang Sect…" Long Qianqian looked perplexed again.

"It's nothing! You don't have to worry about it," Chu Qin said with an easy smile.

Immediately, he took out a fiery red bead from the Soul Guidance Container.

"What is this?"

"The inner core of the Ten-Headed Solar Serpent, fortunately, I didn't use it," Chu Qin replied, "If we want to cure Yan Mei's Evil Flame, this is indispensable." Chu Qin had obtained it from the bottom of Slaughter City, on Hell Road.

"Then, Lord Chu Qin, what do you need me to do?" Long Qianqian asked.

"Crush this. Do you know how?" Chu Qin took out several kinds of Immortal Herbs from the Soul Guidance Container, necessary for the antidote.

"I do! But what should I use to crush it?" Long Qianqian asked.
