Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

```

"No, we have heard it from the God of Laziness. It was you, God King Chu Qin, and the Life God King who saved us. From now on, the two of us will dedicate our lives to serving God King Chu Qin and the Life God King!" the God of Envy said earnestly.

"Then, please stand up," Chu Qin said with a helpless smile.

The God of Envy and the God of Desire then rose to their feet.

"Speaking of which, how did the two of you get captured? Who exactly was it that caught you?" the Life God King looked at Desire and Envy and asked.

Desire and Envy were both somewhat embarrassed to speak, or rather, they were simply too afraid to say.

"What's there to be afraid of? Just say it," Chu Qin smiled, seeing through their thoughts.

"God King Chu Qin, we are already very grateful that you saved us. There's no need for you to seek revenge on our behalf," the God of Envy replied.

"Yes, it's not worth it!" the God of Desire chimed in.

"I gave you the opportunity," Chu Qin said lightly, smiling, "If you won't speak, then there's nothing I can do."

"Mhm, mhm!" Desire and Envy nodded in agreement.

"Then, God of Laziness, please take them down," the Life God King said, looking at the God of Laziness, "The two of them need to rest some more."

"Sure!" The God of Laziness nodded, and led Desire and Envy out of the great hall.

"Those two seem quite frightened!" Xiaowu commented.

"What exactly did they go through?" Gu Yuena also wondered.

"If they won't speak, then I can't do anything about it," Chu Qin said helplessly, "But it's fine as long as they are safe. Since they don't want us to seek revenge for them, why should we insist?"

"Yeah, that's true!" Gu Yuena agreed with a nod.

"Life, Yuena, divide the elixirs we bought and the remaining Divine Core Energy Crystals among everyone. Let's aim to have everyone break through to Divine King as soon as possible!" Chu Qin said, looking at the Life God King and Gu Yuena, "Then, hurry up and finish the Eight Trigrams Dragon God Formation!"

"Okay!"

"What about you?" the Life God King asked Chu Qin.

"I'm going out to see if the Wu Family of the Berserk God Battle Alliance will seek revenge," Chu Qin said lightly.

Now in his possession were four Supreme Divine Artifacts, in addition to Demi-Emperor level enforcers and Supreme Divine Art.

Perhaps even facing the legendary Supreme God, he might have the strength for a battle—not to mention the Life God King once said that the four major organizations didn't possess Demi-Emperor level combat power; he had nothing to fear!

"I'll come with you!" Bi Bidong said.

"Alright!" Chu Qin nodded.

At that moment, night had fallen. In Douluo Manor, according to Chu Qin's resource allocation, there were no bright lights, and it was somewhat dim.

Chu Qin and Bi Bidong, holding hands, strolled down the little paths of Douluo Manor.

"Dong'er, you're keeping me company, are you afraid I would be lonely?" Chu Qin teased, "Or is there another scheme in play?"

"What sort of scheme could I have?" Bi Bidong said with a playful smile.

"Alright then, since you have no schemes, let's drop it," Chu Qin said indifferently with a smile.

"Huh? Drop what?" Bi Bidong asked, puzzled.

"A lone man and a single woman, in the pitch black of night, amid the lush foliage, what do you think?" Chu Qin said, wrapping his arm around Bi Bidong's slender waist.

"It seems your schemes are bigger than mine!" Bi Bidong realized what Chu Qin meant and said with a hint of shyness.

Upon hearing this, Chu Qin immediately pinned Bi Bidong to the ground. "Since you've opened the topic, let's go ahead then!"

"Wait, could there be someone else here?" Bi Bidong asked.

"Impossible… I've sent away all the guards on the mountain," Chu Qin said with a smile. "Even if there are…"

```

Just then, Chu Qin's expression subtly changed.

"What's wrong, Chu Qin?" Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes flickered as she spoke.

At that moment, a sharp blade aimed at Chu Qin's back.

"Chu Qin, watch out!" Bi Bidong shouted.

However, Chu Qin did not dodge, and the sharp blade, upon piercing his body, did not inflict any harm.

The blade's wielder was taken aback and immediately disappeared into the void.

Chu Qin and Bi Bidong stood up to find that they were no longer in Douluo Manor but appeared to be in a dense forest.

"Chu Qin, where are we?" Bi Bidong asked.

"There are two possibilities, one is an illusion, the second is that we have been translocated," Chu Qin's lips curved slightly upward.

"Translocated?" Bi Bidong asked in surprise.

"It must have been a Formation set up in advance," Chu Qin said calmly, "So, I was momentarily caught off guard."

"Indeed, someone was able to discern my Star Shift Formation!" At that moment, an old, slightly hoarse voice sounded.

Bi Bidong, upon hearing this, immediately became vigilant and drew the Asura God Sword, while Chu Qin responded calmly, "If you claim to be a powerful being, why hide in the shadows?"

As Chu Qin's words fell, dozens of black figures appeared before them, all dressed in black cloaks and wearing masks, except for the one leading them, who wore a white robe.

This person looked quite old and feeble, with a slightly hunched back and wearing half a mask, his white hair flowing behind him.

"Who are you?" Chu Qin asked, perplexed. He seemed to have never encountered the old man before.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Head Elder of the Akatsuki, Bai Jian Shan," the elder replied serenely.

"Akatsuki? One of the four major organizations!" Bi Bidong immediately recalled the words of the Life God King.

Chu Qin remained as placid as ever, "I do not recall making an enemy of your Akatsuki."

"You have not! An innocent man incurs no guilt, but possession of a gem does!" Bai Jian Shan responded, "Hand over the Dragon Pearl in your possession, and I shall spare your lives."

"So that's it!" Chu Qin said with a faint smile, "I was wondering why Shenmu would give me the Dragon Pearl so gratuitously; turns out you were already targeting him!"

"Good that you understand!" Bai Jian Shan said with a slight smile, "You're a sensible man, so hand it over, as I assume you wouldn't want to offend the entire Akatsuki over something that isn't yours in the first place!"

"Fine, take it!" Chu Qin said calmly, tossing the Dragon Pearl over.

"How refreshing!" Bai Jian Shan laughed heartily as he caught the Dragon Pearl, but his expression changed the next moment.

The Dragon Pearl emitted a stellar glow, followed by a dragon's roar emanating from within.

In an instant, a terrifying energy burst from Bai Jian Shan's palm, and high in the sky, a massive Bone Dragon appeared.

The dragon resembled the legendary dragons of the East, over a kilometer long, though its entire body was made of crystal-like bones, which emitted a ghostly blue light.

"I never expected the Dragon Pearl to be a summoning object!" Bai Jian Shan said, delighted rather than shocked, "Attack, turn it back to its original form, and my Akatsuki will have another Pinnacle God King!"

As Bai Jian Shan's words faded, the dozens of figures behind him

lit up the circular halos on their backs and, wielding their weapons, charged toward the Skeletal Dragon!

The least of these people had eight halos, indicating they were all First-level Gods, Divine Kings!

"Roar!" Yet, with a mighty roar, the Skeletal Dragon unleashed a ghostly blue fire that instantly turned the two foremost First-level Gods to ashes.

"What!"

Seeing First-level Gods annihilated in an instant, the remaining First-level Gods and Divine Kings were startled and exclaimed.

"This is not a Pinnacle God King Beast, this is a Demi-Emperor Beast!" Bai Jian Shan's face turned pale as he exclaimed.
