Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Sea God, where are we?" Jiang Zhu looked around at the unfamiliar environment, but there was no fear in her eyes. After all, she didn't think that a man as handsome as Chu Qin would do anything to harm her, but instead, she felt somewhat surprised.

"Sea God Island!" Chu Qin said with a light smile, "Rest assured, it's very safe here!"

"Okay!" Jiang Zhu smiled slightly, though her smile soon stiffened and turned into a pained expression.

"What's wrong?" Chu Qin asked with a hint of confusion.

"I might have survived, but the people from the small village..." Jiang Zhu said as her eyes reddened and tears began to shimmer in them.

"It's a pity that life cannot be brought back." Chu Qin said with regret, "But, Miss Jiang Zhu, you must be strong!"

"Okay!" Jiang Zhu nodded, glancing at her grandparents beside her, "After all, I still have my grandparents who need my care."

"Alright! Then let me arrange a place for you to stay!" Chu Qin said with a nod and a smile.

"Thank you, Sea God!" Jiang Zhu replied, "But, Sea God, we still have to report back to Martial Soul Hall, at least to convey the news of the deaths of those from the small village back to Martial Soul Hall!"

"I've already told you, I am the Great Priest of Spirit Hall. Don't worry. When I return to Martial Soul Hall, I'll inform them," Chu Qin replied indifferently.

"Thank you so much, Great Worship!" Jiang Zhu felt extremely grateful in her heart. At the same time, while Jiang Zhu kept her head lowered, her peripheral vision was always on Chu Qin.

This man's charm was too strong; as the Great Priest of Spirit Hall, the Sea God, and also irrationally handsome, he was irresistible!

Under Chu Qin's guidance, Jiang Zhu and the two elders arrived at the Sea Witch City Lord Manor, not at the six-story palace where Chu Qin lived but at a villa.

Had Jiang Zhu been alone, Chu Qin would naturally have let her stay in the palace, but it was inappropriate with two elders in tow!

"Miss Jiang Zhu, are you satisfied with this place?" Chu Qin asked as he looked at Jiang Zhu.

"The Great Worship saved me and my grandparents. I am immensely grateful and could not possibly make any requests!" Jiang Zhu earnestly replied.

"You're too formal, Miss Jiang Zhu!" Chu Qin responded with a smile, "Don't see me as just the Great Worship, or as the Divine Power of the Sea God; I'm very approachable. Don't worry, I have already spoken to the guards around here. They will treat you as a distinguished guest of Sea God Island. If there's anything you need, just ask!"

Normally, one would need to pass the Sea God's assessment to become a distinguished guest of Sea God Island, but Chu Qin wouldn't put Jiang Zhu through that for now, especially since her soul power rank was too low. At most, she might pass a purple level assessment, which would be too little help for her!

"Thank you, Great Worship!" Jiang Zhu and the two elders said as they bowed together.

"Hmm. I live in that central palace over there. If you need anything, just come and find me!" Chu Qin replied with a smile.

With those words, Chu Qin had left the place.

"Who would have thought, the Great Priest of Spirit Hall, the Sea God, such a formidable person, could be so approachable!" The old woman exclaimed after Chu Qin had departed.

"Wife, when we get back, we must erect a statue for the Great Worship and devoutly worship it every day!" the elder added.

"The Great Worship is the Sea God; countless people worship him, would he really need your statue?" the old woman retorted.

"They are they; I am I. This is a token of my sincerity!"

"Grandpa, Grandma, let's stay here for a while then," Jiang Zhu said as she saw the two elders about to bicker, "When the Great Worship goes back to Martial Soul Hall, I'll trouble him to take us back with him!"

"No problem!" both the old woman and the elder replied at the same time.

Meanwhile, Chu Qin made his way to the plaza in front of the palace.

Chu Qin had not expected that a casual attempt to test his abilities would lead him to find Jiang Zhu—a truly unexpected gain!

By keeping Jiang Zhu close to him and making her his woman, everything would naturally become much easier.

"Right, Rhea!" Chu Qin suddenly thought of Rhea; his unannounced departure might make her worry.

So, Chu Qin teleported directly into the room.

Chu Qin's abrupt decision led to yet another round of unexpected embarrassment.

At this moment, Rhea just happened to be changing her clothes!

And of all times, her bathrobe had just slipped off.

While Chu Qin was standing right in front of her, face to face!

At this moment, Rhea was indeed very "open" with Chu Qin!

"Rhea..." Chu Qin exclaimed in surprise, and they both immediately turned around!

"Chu Qin, when did you come in?" Rhea hurriedly asked as she put on her towel.

"Sorry Rhea," Chu Qin replied, "there was a little incident at sea just now, and I happened to come back after dealing with it. Speaking of which, why are you changing clothes in the living room!"

"I thought you had gone out!" Rhea said with a smile upon hearing Chu Qin's explanation, "Okay, turn around now, I'm dressed!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qin turned back around.

The next second, Chu Qin's face changed dramatically!

What did Rhea mean by dressed? She had just a towel on, and it was one of those thin, misty types that made everything even more confusing to the eye!

Chu Qin, once again, turned away, "Rhea, are you just going to wear that?"

"What's wrong with this?" Rhea frowned slightly, "Isn't it considered being dressed?"

"You call that being dressed? Hurry up and change!" Chu Qin said.

"I won't change!" Rhea said somewhat proudly, "Chu Qin, you have over fifty women, you must have seen all sorts of scenes. I'm not shy, why are you acting so bashful?"

"Fine, since you put it that way, I don't care anymore!" Chu Qin responded, and turned back to look straight at Rhea.

"Does it look good?" Rhea asked with a smile, without a hint of shyness.

"So-so!" Chu Qin replied. To tell the truth, if Poseidon hadn't said that Rhea had never had a boyfriend and was truly innocent, Chu Qin would have believed this was just her nature!

But soon, Chu Qin felt something was off and quickly changed the subject, "You're done, now it's my turn to shower! Rhea, you can wear this in the room, but do not go out like that!"

"And what if I do go out?" Rhea asked with a proud smile.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qin felt inexplicably angry; it was one thing for his wife to dress like this for him to see, but...

Chu Qin absolutely would not allow Rhea to be seen like this by others. He raised his voice slightly and said, "If you do that, I will stop talking to you, and you can forget about coming to Sea God Island!"

Rhea, not expecting Chu Qin to react this way, was slightly startled and then responded somewhat obediently, "I got it, I won't go out! I'll stay home obediently!"

Hearing Rhea refer to Chu Qin's room as home warmed his heart, and he replied with a smile, "Then I'm going to take a shower, don't go out! And if you do, you must change your clothes!"

"Mhm!" Rhea nodded in agreement once more.

Afterward, Chu Qin proceeded into the bathroom.

As he entered, he was met with a strong, alluring fragrance.

Chu Qin knew it must have been left behind by Rhea.

Having been with so many women, Chu Qin had smelled countless fragrances, but Rhea's lingering scent was, without a doubt, the most unique, giving one a surge of hormones.

Especially, Chu Qin's towel had an even richer scent left on it!
