Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Speak, Xi E, what brings you to me?" Elder Chu Qin looked at Xi E and said with a smile.

"Elder Chu Qin, there is something I must discuss with you," said Xi E, turning to face Elder Chu Qin.

"Hmm?" Elder Chu Qin voiced his slight confusion.

"Our Ancient Family has already deployed across the universe," Xi E stated, "In the coming days, we will begin a great purge of the forces belonging to the Extremely Evil Aristocrat Family within the universe."

"Has the war begun?" Elder Chu Qin asked with a slight smile.

"It's just a purge of the outer universe. As for the Universe of Extreme Evil, we are currently unable to act," Xi E shook her head.

"So what do you want me to do? Assist with the purge, or find a way to destroy the Universe of Extreme Evil?" Elder Chu Qin inquired.

"No. I just wanted to inform you. As a Supreme Elder, you need to be aware of this matter. We have enough manpower for the purging of the universe. Besides, you are currently our Ancient Family's strongest trump card, so there's no need to act rashly until the very end," replied Xi E.

"That's perfect, I have something I'd like to discuss with you," Elder Chu Qin said with a smile.

"What is it?" Xi E asked, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"I intend to abolish the rule that confines a Supreme Elder to the Middle Ancient Great World," Elder Chu Qin said with a casual smile.

"What? You want to abolish the ancestral rules?" Xi E asked, somewhat astonished.

"Yes," Elder Chu Qin nodded, "What do you think, is that possible? I hear it requires your approval?"

Upon hearing this, Xi E pressed her red lips together. Normally, she would never agree to abolish the ancestral rules, yet somehow, she seemed unwilling to reject any of Elder Chu Qin's requests.

Seeing Xi E's hesitation, Elder Chu Qin's smile grew broader, "The Middle Ancient Great World is protected by the Pangu Great Array; it makes no difference whether I am here or not."

"You wish to leave the Middle Ancient Great World?" Xi E's eyes widened slightly.

"Why, do you miss me already?" Elder Chu Qin asked with a smile, noting Xi E's anxious expression.

"No... Fine, I agree. I won't hold back your freedom," Xi E nodded and turned, adding, "From now on, you don't need to stay in the Middle Ancient Great World all the time, but if the Ancient Family is ever in danger, you must..."

Just then, as Xi E turned, Elder Chu Qin had already disappeared without a trace.

"Elder Chu Qin?" Xi E, looking around the empty space, said somewhat forlornly.

"Why am I moved by him?" Xi E wondered, "It's impossible. I haven't felt this way for so many years, so why just for him? Besides, he's such a heartbreaker."

"Maybe it's just fate," and at that moment, a beautifully exquisite flower appeared before Xi E, along with Elder Chu Qin himself.

"Elder Chu Qin, where did you go?" Xi E exclaimed, both surprised and delighted.

"There was a flower outside, on the verge of wilting. I went to pluck it," Elder Chu Qin said with a slight smile.

Xi E was stunned. The celestial flower in Elder Chu Qin's hand was the one she had nurtured for a billion years, a witness to her lifetime. And just like that, Elder Chu Qin had plucked it?

That flower, it was like a pet to her. Since she was the Empress, unable to casually confide in anyone, she would express her emotions to the flower and found joy in watering it.

However, she seemed to show no sign of anger whatsoever.

"Is something wrong, is this flower valuable?" Elder Chu Qin asked, puzzled.

"No!" Xi E shook her head, "The flower is beautiful."

"Then I give it to you," Elder Chu Qin said with a smile.

"To me?" Xi E's eyebrows raised once more.

"Flowers should be given to beauty," Elder Chu Qin said with a smile, "Don't tell me, just because you are an Empress, you're not a woman anymore?"

"Of course, I am a woman!" Xi E stated, hastily grasping for the flower in Elder Chu Qin's hand, but as soon as she extended her hand, it was grasped by his palm.

Xi E's heart suddenly began to pound.

"Elder Chu Qin..." Xi E said bashfully.

"Since you are a woman, you should have a man by your side," Elder Chu Qin said with a smile. Since the System had already granted Xi E a hundred percent favorability towards him, Elder Chu Qin saw no need to beat around the bush or to hide his intentions.

"Ah..." Xi E, whose face was always cold and majestic, now bore a layer of red blush.

"Didn't understand?" Chu Qin said with a smile, "I have fallen in love with you. The reason why I became the Supreme Elder was for you. This flower represents my feelings."

"You became the Supreme Elder for me?" Xi E's heartbeat accelerated even further.

"Yes!" Chu Qin nodded, "Otherwise, why would I take on the role of Supreme Elder for no reason?"

Chu Qin wasn't wrong in what he said. Although he became the Supreme Elder due to a mission from the System, the System actually served as his inner heart, since the System had said that its tasks were guided by Chu Qin's innermost feelings.

In other words, the System was his second brain.

A warmth surged through Xi E's heart because, due to the System, she had hopelessly fallen in love with Chu Qin.

"So, would you like to accept my feelings?" Chu Qin beamed at Xi E's expression, feeling joy in his heart.

"Elder Chu Qin..."

"Just call me Chu Qin."

"Alright, Chu Qin." Xi E replied, "I won't beat around the bush. Indeed, I like you a lot. But..."

"But?" Chu Qin's brows furrowed slightly.

"But I have sworn an oath. Until the Extremely Evil Aristocrat Family is wiped out, I shall not seek a partner!" Xi E said, her lips tightly pressed, "So..."

Xi E spoke with reluctance. She truly wanted to be with Chu Qin, but she could not break her vow!

"I understand!" Chu Qin said with a calm smile, "Since that's the case, I won't force you."

"I'm sorry, Chu Qin. After I destroy the Extremely Evil Aristocrat Family..." Xi E's face showed a trace of pain as she spoke.

However, before Xi E could finish speaking, her lips were sealed by Chu Qin's.

"Chu Qin..." Excited and nervous, Xi E spoke.

"You have a vow, but I don't!" Chu Qin smiled faintly, "Xi E, since you like me, I cannot possibly give up on you. Once I defeat the Extremely Evil Aristocrat Family, I will make you mine completely."

"Mhm!" Xi E, looking at Chu Qin, nodded earnestly.

"However, right now, I need to give you a mark, a mark exclusively mine!" Chu Qin said with a smile...

Soon after, Chu Qin walked out of the Empress's Great Hall, completely satisfied.

And Xi E, watching Chu Qin's retreating figure, revealed a radiant smile.

She knew that in this life, she belonged to Chu Qin alone.

That excitement soon turned into anger.

Anger towards the Extremely Evil Aristocrat Family, for they had hindered her pursuit of love.

"Extremely Evil Aristocrat Family, I am determined to destroy you!" Xi E said angrily. "Someone come!"

Shortly after, at Luo Wang City on Luo Wang Star.

Chu Qin returned to this place, wanting to see how his women were doing in their secluded cultivation.

However, as soon as he arrived at the Gate of Heaven and Earth, he saw a warship majestically sailing towards him.

Leading the people aboard the warship were none other than Luo Shentian, Luo Tianyun, and Yuè Yīnà. Besides them, the rest were Pinnacle God Kings and Demi-Emperor powerhouses, clearly gearing up for some significant event.

Chu Qin landed on the warship.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!" On seeing Chu Qin, all the powerhouses of the Luo Family knelt in unison. Now, Chu Qin was known to everyone in the Ancient Family for defeating the seven Great Elders single-handedly.

"Supreme Elder!" Luo Shentian and the other two walked over and were about to pay their respects to Chu Qin.

"Senior Tianyun, Uncle Luo, Aunt Ina, there's no need for formalities," Chu Qin said with an easy smile.

"One must adhere to the rules!" Luo Shentian stated, "The Ancient Family has its own customs. After the Pangu Empress became the Empress, even her ancestors had to kneel and pay homage, so we surely can't break tradition!"
