Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Chu Qin," Xi E immediately approached with a smile as she saw Chu Qin emerge from the Sealing God Temple, "What were you and Qinglong Shidi discussing alone?"

"Nothing much," Chu Qin shook his head, "Xiao'e, how did this time's casualties look?"

"Casualties? There were no casualties," Xi E laughed lightly, "You alone held off everyone from the Supreme God Court. In the Middle Ancient Great World, only a few outer planets exploded, which were already uninhabited. However, this time, fortunately, Qinglong Shidi arrived just in time, or else the universe and the Middle Ancient Great World might have been destroyed by you two."

Chu Qin smiled and nodded, "That's good then."

"Chu Qin, you seem different somehow," Xi E said with a puzzled expression.

"Different in what way?" Chu Qin's face beamed with joy.

"I can't put my finger on it," Xi E shook her head, "but I feel you're not the same as usual. What exactly did Qinglong tell you?"

"If it's indescribable, then let's not speak of it," Chu Qin replied. He then turned to the Chaos Saint Emperor, "Senior Primordial Chaos, how do you feel?"

"There hasn't been a better day than today in a billion years!" the Chaos Saint Emperor laughed heartily, "I thought I'd spend a lifetime in that Sealing God Temple. Thanks to Qinglong Shidi and you, Chu Qin, and you, Xiao'e, for finding such a good man."

"Great ancestor, you've worked tirelessly for the Pangu Family; now, you can finally enjoy a bit of peace," Xi E said with a smile.

"Hahaha, excellent!" the Chaos Saint Emperor roared with laughter, "Then I won't keep you company any longer; I'm off to visit Linghui Star."

"Alright, Great Ancestor," Xi E nodded in acknowledgment.

"By the way, Xiao'e, is Zhenhui still around?" the Chaos Saint Emperor asked.

"She's still there!" Xi E nodded and smiled, "Elder Zhenhui has been healing on Linghui Star"

"Hahaha, good, good, good!"

With that, the Chaos Saint Emperor did not linger any longer and tore through space, departing with the Zhenhai Beast.

"Xiao'e, who is Zhenhui?" Chu Qin asked.

"The great ancestor's confidante, I suppose," Xi E spoke with a smile, "She was also an elder of the Pangu Family once."

"Oh!" Chu Qin smiled with profound meaning.

"Chu Qin, now that Senior Primordial Chaos is free and Yinglong is sealed, shall we also go to the Tower of Undying?" Xi E asked.

"Zhu Yan, you go to the Tower of Undying first and guard Xiaowu and the others," Chu Qin looked at Zhu Yan and instructed.

"Let's go, Xiao'e, we're going for pancakes," Chu Qin smiled in response.

"Pancakes?" Xi E was slightly startled.

Chu Qin smiled and said nothing, leading the three girls towards Wan City.

"Master!" Han Zier excitedly called out upon seeing Chu Qin arriving.

"Zier, let me introduce you. This is the Empress of the Ancient Family, your Mistress, Xi E!" Chu Qin pointed at Xi E as he introduced her.

"Greetings, Empress!" Han Zier, hearing this, immediately knelt down to bow.

"Didn't you hear what your Master said? You should call me Mistress," Xi E said as she helped Han Zier to her feet, smiling gently.

"Yes, Mistress," Han Zier nodded immediately.

"Zier, your Mistress and I are a bit hungry. Let's make some pancakes," Chu Qin told Han Zier with a smile.

"After eating pancakes, will you check my Thunder Emperor Holy Body?" Han Zier asked.

"Hmm."

"Okay!" Without a word more, Han Zier began making pancakes.

Chu Qin then settled down with Xi E by his side.

"Chu Qin, when did you take on a disciple?" Xi E asked curiously.

"Not too long ago while we were protecting Senior Primordial Chaos," Chu Qin smiled, "She was originally a student at the Ancient Family Academy, but she offended a teacher, who colluded with the Lord of Wan City. Not only was she expelled from the academy, but they also wanted her dead!"

"What!" Xi E exclaimed in anger.

"Don't worry, Xiao'e, I've already taken care of it. I killed them both," Chu Qin said with a smile.

"That's too easy on them!" Xi E replied, "They should've been sent to Heavenly Prison to suffer extreme punishment!"

Chu Qin smiled mildly, "Two petty thieves are not worth the anger. However, Xiao'e, you've heard it yourself, even with only Pinnacle God-King Level Strength, Zier can cultivate the Thunder Emperor Holy Body, which is not something ordinary people can achieve."

"Yes," Xi E nodded, "And I feel a familiar power within her, as if I've encountered it somewhere before."

"You've just recently encountered it; that's Yinglong's Power!" Chu Qin replied.

"Yinglong's Power!" Xi E, with a raised eyebrow, said.

"Yes." Chu Qin nodded, "The details of Zier's birth are unclear, but possessing Yinglong's Power definitely means she is out of the ordinary. That's why I took her as my disciple; maybe there will be unexpected gains in the future."

"So that's how it is." Xi E nodded and said, "And here I thought you took interest in her because of her looks."

"How could that be!" Chu Qin said with a smile, "Am I that kind of person?"

"Aren't you?" Xi E said with a covered laugh.

"I'll settle the score with you tonight!" Chu Qin said, giving Xi E a gentle look.

"Come at me," Xi E said with a triumphant smile.

"Master, Mistress, the pancakes are ready." At this moment, Han Zier brought the pancakes over.

"Here, Xiao'e, try this. This is no ordinary pancake; even a great Pirate Empress like you hasn't had this before!" Chu Qin placed a piece of pancake in front of Xi E, feeding her.

At the moment, seeing Chu Qin and Xi E, so affectionate with each other, Han Zier couldn't help but feel a tinge of complex emotions in her eyes.

Xi E's eyes lit up as she said, "Yummy! Zier, your pancakes are too delicious!"

"Thank you for the praise, Mistress." Han Zier replied, "If you want, I can make them for you every day from now on!"

"Not just for me, but for your master, and sisters Xiaowu and Ning Rongrong too—all of us together," Xi E said with a laugh.

"Ah?" Han Zier was slightly startled.

It turned out she had that many mistresses.

"Zier, don't listen to Xiao'e," Chu Qin said laughingly, "Just make them if you want to."

"No worries, Master. It's my honor to cook for you and all the mistresses," Han Zier replied.

"That's good," Chu Qin nodded, "From today on, you'll stay by my side."

"Yes, Master!" Han Zier nodded.

"Let's go, to the Tower of Undying," Chu Qin said with a smile.

"Let me eat a few more!" Xi E said.

"Eat on the way!"

With that, Chu Qin took Xi E and Han Zier to the Tower of Undying.

"Master, can I start climbing the tower now?" Han Zier asked Chu Qin.

"Yes, go ahead. With your strength, passing the eighth floor shouldn't be a problem," Chu Qin nodded and said.

"Okay, Master!" Han Zier said, rushing into the Tower of Undying.

Chu Qin then turned to Xi E, "What about you, Xiao'e?"

"I also want to try climbing the tower," Xi E replied. "But I have some matters to handle for the Ancient Family; I'll come to find you guys once I'm done."

"Is there anything that you need my help with?" Chu Qin asked.

Xi E shook her head, "You've already dealt with enough hardships; not everything should depend on you."

"What's the big deal," Chu Qin said with a smile, shaking his head.

"Then I'm off."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xi E flew towards Pangu Imperial City.

Without staying any longer, Chu Qin arrived at the 12th floor entrance to the Tower of Undying.

To his surprise, Chu Qin found no trace of Xiaowu and the others on the 12th or 13th floors.

Xiaowu and her companions must still be challenging the tower.

Only Zhu Yan was waiting alone on the 13th floor.

Without further ado, Chu Qin left a clone behind and charged straight to the 16th floor.

It was then that Chu Qin realized that the 16th floor had disappeared, with no stele or forbidden zones left, only the Void remaining.

Chu Qin understood that this must be because Yazi had departed, thus the 16th floor was also rendered obsolete.

So, Chu Qin headed to the 17th floor.

Reaching the floor of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor again, Chu Qin heard the familiar music and saw the enchantingly beautiful figure once more.
