Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

Chu Qin was mildly shocked; despite his perception, he sensed no life force. He focused his gaze and before him stood an ancient gate, seemingly carved from marble!

Atop the twenty-meter gate loomed a striking black dragon head sculpture, the source of the voice!

"What exactly are you?" Chu Qin calmly regarded the black dragon head.

"I am the Dream Guardian, Ao Long Remnant Soul, of the Dark Capital!" the voice replied coldly. "I advise you to leave at once, otherwise, you will regret it!"

"Regret?" Chu Qin replied with an indifferent smile, "A security guard, right? Tell your master that someone is looking for her!"

"How presumptuous. How dare you disrespect the Black Sea Goddess!" As soon as Ao Long Remnant Soul finished speaking, a bolt of black lightning surged towards Chu Qin.

However, Chu Qin made no move, and the black lightning that struck him caused no harm!

"How is this possible!" exclaimed Ao Long Remnant Soul in shock.

"It seems you talk a big game but are pitifully weak in skill!" Chu Qin smiled indifferently, ready to pass through the gate.

"How insolent!" As Ao Long Remnant Soul spoke, the previously empty gateway turned into a red lightning barrier!

"Fine, you asked for this!" Chu Qin sneered coldly, slamming his palm against the lightning barrier.

In an instant, a crisp "crack" echoed as the lightning barrier shattered completely.

Ao Long Remnant Soul emitted a pained cry from the backlash!

"Was that really necessary?" Chu Qin said with an indifferent smile.

"Hmph!" Ao Long Remnant Soul snorted coldly as more violent, thick bolts of lightning barreled towards Chu Qin!

"Alright, I gave you a chance!"

As Chu Qin was about to deliver the final blow to Ao Long Remnant Soul,

"Stop!" Just then, a beautiful, distant female voice echoed from within the Dark Capital, quickly approaching. It seemed very far away one second, and the next, it was right in front of him.

Also appearing was the Black Sea Goddess, her exquisitely beautiful silhouette!

"Master! This bastard..."

Ao Long Remnant Soul, seeking comfort at the sight of the Black Sea Goddess, was abruptly cut off, "Ao Long, step back. There's no need for you here!"

"As you wish!" Ao Long Remnant Soul said and then fell silent.

Meanwhile, the Black Sea Goddess looked at Chu Qin with a complex expression, "Humans! Do you truly wish to exterminate me?"

On one hand, the Black Sea Goddess feared that Chu Qin would mercilessly kill her, yet on the other, she felt a strange excitement upon seeing him.

"Rest assured, I, Chu Qin, am a man who cherishes the fairer sex," Chu Qin replied with an indifferent smile. "I'm here to propose a deal to you!"

"What deal?" The Black Sea Goddess asked eagerly, her beautiful eyes flashing at his words.

"I can, help you leave the Black Sea," Chu Qin said with a nonchalant smile, "But, you must agree to a condition of mine!"

"Leave the Black Sea?" The Black Sea Goddess was visibly surprised.

"As a Divine Power unable to ascend to the Divine Realm, that's fine. But being confined to this tiny Black Sea because of Poseidon, you must feel quite resentful," Chu Qin stated as if he had already considered his words.

"You can help me?" The Black Sea Goddess paused before asking.

"Of course! You know I'm almost through with the Sea God's Nine Quests, and if I wish, I could claim the Sea God's godhood any time. Plus, you've seen what I'm capable of," Chu Qin asserted confidently. "What do you say, would you like to strike this deal with me?"

The Black Sea Goddess was visibly moved!

"Then, what's your condition?" The Black Sea Goddess asked warily.

"This is hardly the place to discuss such matters!" Chu Qin said with a smile. "We should be friends by now, shouldn't we? Won't you invite me over to your place?"

"Ah..." the Black Sea Goddess was slightly startled by Chu Qin's casual, everyday speech.

"What, do you have a man hidden in your room?" Chu Qin asked.

"How could that be possible!" the Black Sea Goddess quickly replied, "But, does this count as inviting the wolf into the house?"

"You are already seriously injured, and at our current distance, I could kill you at any moment! If I wanted to hurt you, why would I go through such trouble!" Chu Qin responded.

"Then... then fine! Follow me," the Black Sea Goddess reasoned for a moment and then nodded.

Under the guidance of the Black Sea Goddess, Chu Qin arrived at her room, an empty, open-air hall with nothing but a bed and some simple tables and chairs!

Looking up, all one could see was the deep sea!

"You, you live here?" Chu Qin asked in mild surprise.

"I don't have much demand for living," the Black Sea Goddess replied, "Besides, I've been healing an old injury, I haven't had the time to manage these matters."

The Black Sea Goddess at this moment was a stark contrast to when she was in battle with Chu Qin, giving off a pitiable impression.

"Then why not let your subordinates take care of it?" Chu Qin sat on the chair, smiling as he asked.

"I wouldn't let anyone enter my room!" the Black Sea Goddess replied.

"So, I'm the first?" Chu Qin said with a soft smile.

"Mhm!" the Black Sea Goddess nodded.

Chu Qin took the teapot off the table in a relaxed manner, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said contentedly, "Although you don't know how to live, your taste in tea is marvelous!"

The Black Sea Goddess's Dai Mei eyebrows slightly raised. She was someone with a strong obsession for cleanliness, yet she not only let Chu Qin enter her hall but also allowed him to drink tea from her cup!

More importantly, there was not a trace of anger in the Black Sea Goddess's heart at this moment, only excitement.

"What, what is wrong with me?" the Black Sea Goddess wondered aloud.

"Black Sea Goddess!" At this moment, Chu Qin observed the change in the Black Sea Goddess's expression. He had seen this look too many times before, it was a "symptom" of being influenced by the System!

"Hm?" the Black Sea Goddess asked, puzzled.

"You don't just go by Black Sea Goddess, do you have a name?" Chu Qin asked.

"I do!" the Black Sea Goddess nodded.

"Oh, what is it?"

"Mo Xi!" the Black Sea Goddess said obediently, as if under a spell.

"Mo Xi! There you go! This name sounds so much better than Black Sea Goddess!" Chu Qin took another sip of tea and responded with a smile.

Upon hearing Chu Qin naturally calling her by her name, Mo Xi's pretty face blushed slightly. Then she bit her red lip and looked at Chu Qin, "Chu Qin, it's about time you state your terms, right?"

"No rush, let's talk some more," Chu Qin replied with a smile.

"Then talk!" Mo Xi bit her red lip and prompted him.

"What exactly is your relationship with Poseidon?" Chu Qin asked, "I heard that you two were friends once, and later you actually plotted against him!"

"Who plotted against him!" Mo Xi said, her anger becoming apparent, "Could I plot against him? Am I able to overpower him?"

"Then why were you wounded by him?" Chu Qin inquired.

"When paths diverge, one naturally goes one's own way!" Mo Xi replied.

"I'm quite interested, tell me more."

"The Dark Goddess is the guardian deity of the Black Sea. And since Poseidon is bent on unifying the Four Seas, as the successor to the Dark Goddess, what could I possibly do? Surely, I couldn't betray my ancestors and teacher!" Mo Xi's expression was somewhat complex.
