Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Why thank me? You should thank Chu Qin. I was also saved by him, and this medicine soup was both picked and prepared by him," Shi Yao replied with a smile.

"I really didn't expect that Chu Qin is not only an Emperor-level Strong One but also knows how to prepare medicine," Luo Yiyi said, somewhat surprised.

"He can do more than just prepare medicine; he can also cook porridge, cook meals... and, you know, barbecue and stuff like that. In short, he is capable of much more than you might imagine," Shi Yao said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yiyi unconsciously revealed a smile, and then she asked, "Miss Shi Yao, you seem to know him quite well. Are you also one of his women?"

Shi Yao shook her head, "He has dozens of women, but I'm not one of them. I can only be considered his housekeeper and follower."

"Dozens!" Luo Yiyi's eyes widened, her smile turning into a slightly complicated expression.

"Yes, the ones you see here, except for Xiang Li, the other seven are all his women. And the rest of his women, probably about sixty or so, are all in our Titan God Star Domain and weren't brought out," Shi Yao nodded and explained.

"That many!" Luo Yiyi pouted slightly, "Sure enough, men are fickle creatures!"

"Which man isn't fickle, especially the Emperor-level Strong Ones. Actually, among the Emperor-level Strong Ones, Chu Qin is considered quite decent," Shi Yao said with a gentle smile.

"That's for sure! Emperor-level Strong Ones have lived for countless ages. The number of their cherished intimate friends could be so many that even they lose count themselves. My father has several hundred..." Luo Yiyi nodded in agreement, "Chu Qin is relatively normal, I suppose."

"You're wrong again," Shi Yao said with another smile.

"Where am I wrong?" Luo Yiyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing her confusion.

"This fickle creature, Chu Qin, is only twenty years old!" Shi Yao replied.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yao almost spit out the sip of medicine soup she had just swallowed. Fortunately, she managed to gulp it down and coughed a few times before saying, "Twenty years old; that's impossible!"

"I also find it unbelievable! Even for Ancestral Level Beings, it's impossible to become an emperor at twenty, but... it's the truth!" Shi Yao replied.

Luo Yiyi was completely stunned. Despite being about the same age as Chu Qin, she had lived for tens of thousands of years.

Yet, even so, becoming a Demi-Emperor in tens of thousands of years, she was already considered an unprecedented genius in the Luo Family and even among the Ancient Families, ranking in the top five in history!

A twenty-year-old emperor, she didn't even dare to think about it.

The youngest emperor in Ancient Family history was Luo Tianyun, who also ascended to Supreme God after two hundred million years!

Compared to Chu Qin, it was like night and day!

"This freak!" Luo Yiyi couldn't help but exclaim.

"Achoo!" Just then, Chu Qin, bare-chested, walked over sneezing, "Shi Yao, who are you calling a freak? It's not nice to swear at people to their face!"

"Lord Chu Qin, I wasn't cursing you, it was..." Shi Yao turned to look at Luo Yiyi.

"Yi Yi, you're awake!"

Chu Qin was very surprised to see Luo Yiyi.

Upon hearing Chu Qin call her Yi Yi directly, Luo Yiyi's heart sped up a bit, but she responded naturally, "Yes, I'm awake. Thank you, Chu Qin."

"No problem," Chu Qin casually sat down next to Shi Yao and Luo Yiyi, placing a huge chunk of beast meat that weighed about a hundred pounds beside him.

Right after, Chu Qin took out the Tyrant Beast Mad Blade and started cutting meat!

"Using the Supreme Divine Artifact to cut meat?" Shi Yao and Luo Yiyi asked in unison, surprised.

"What's the issue? A blade is meant for cutting meat," Chu Qin said, while naturally continuing to slice the meat.

"Speaking of which, Chu Qin, where did you get this meat?" Luo Yiyi asked.

"Didn't I pursue the dragon that was chasing you yesterday? This meat is cut from him," Chu Qin replied while cutting meat, "Later on, I'll give some to both of you to nourish your bodies properly."

"Chu Qin, I had some doubts yesterday," Luo Yiyi said.

"Hmm? Doubts about what?" Chu Qin asked curiously.

"""

"This Pixiu Secret Realm seems to be able to restrict Divine Power, so why were you able to kill that giant dragon with a single punch?" Luo Yiyi exclaimed in surprise.

"What's so puzzling about that? Even without Divine Power, we still have our bodies, don't we?" Chu Qin said with a nonchalant smile, as he skewered the cut meat onto a stick and roasted it over the fire.

"But our divine bodies have also been restricted," Shi Yao remarked, seemingly realizing something, and she too expressed her surprise.

"What, your divine bodies have been restricted as well?" It was Chu Qin's turn to be surprised, "Are you saying that you are now in mortal bodies?"

"Yes!" Luo Yiyi and Shi Yao nodded simultaneously.

"Then why haven't I been restricted?" Chu Qin spread some medicinal sauce on the roasted meat, still somewhat puzzled, "Could it be... the Qinglong Bloodline!"

"Very likely!" Luo Yiyi said, "This is the Pixiu Secret Realm, its power suppresses our Divine Power and divine bodies, but Pixiu might not be able to suppress the Azure Dragon!"

"But why can't I use my Azure Dragon Power?" Chu Qin's pupils shifted slightly as he looked at his own right hand, puzzled.

"That shouldn't be the case!" Luo Yiyi was also somewhat confused, "If the power of the Qinglong Bloodline is still present, your Azure Dragon Power should not have vanished. It should be your Azure Dragon Power that prevents your divine body from being suppressed!"

"Maybe it's because I overused the Azure Dragon Power before, leading to its temporary disappearance!" Chu Qin seemed to have some understanding. He had overused the Azure Dragon Power in his previous battle with the Dragon Emperor, which led to a reduced strength during his fight with the Thunder Emperor Puppet.

"That should be the case, then. So your power should recover after a short period," Shi Yao said, her face alight with excitement.

"Maybe," Chu Qin remarked as he passed the cooked skewers to Shi Yao and Luo Yiyi, "Eat up. After that, let's find Senior Tianyun and Xiaowu. Maybe Senior Tianyun knows the reason."

"Yes, Grandpa Tianyun is experienced and knowledgeable, and he might have encountered such a situation before," Luo Yiyi agreed with a nod.

"Mmm, delicious!" Shi Yao took a bite of the skewer and expressed her surprise.

"Really?"

"Who would have thought such a rough method of roasting could be so delicious!" After taking a bite, Luo Yiyi couldn't help but sing praises as well.

"That's because I used some special Immortal Herbs as a seasoning!" Chu Qin said with a light laugh, "No matter what, one should never shortchange one's stomach!"

"Right!" Shi Yao and Luo Yiyi nodded in agreement. They felt that even though they had lost their Divine Power and had become mortals, being with Chu Qin not only filled them with a sense of security, but also with immense happiness!

"Chu Qin, may I have another skewer?" Shi Yao asked.

"Help yourself!"

"Then I'll take a few more!"

...

After feasting to their content, Chu Qin led Shi Yao and Luo Yiyi away from the temporary base and into the depths of the jungle.

Shi Yao and Luo Yiyi stuck close to Chu Qin, almost touching his skin as they followed him, after all, they were now mortals, weak and pitiful, and in much need of Chu Qin's protection.

And Chu Qin was, of course, quite willing to act as their protector amongst the flowers.

The trio wandered through the jungle, seeming to have lost their way...

"Chu Qin, if we keep searching aimlessly like this, will we be able to find Grandpa Tianyun and the others?" Luo Yiyi asked.

"There's no helping it, right now I'm just a straight guy holding a knife, nothing more!" Chu Qin said, shaking his head helplessly.

"That... I think I remember now, Grandpa Tianyun gave me a special Divine Artifact!" Luo Yiyi said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Weren't Divine Artifacts unusable here?" Chu Qin asked with a slight frown.

Luo Yiyi pulled out a golden compass from her bosom, "This is oriented to Grandpa Tianyun's blood, it doesn't need the support of Divine Power! It seems like it's still usable!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Upon hearing this, Chu Qin immediately patted Luo Yiyi on the head.

"I... just remembered it!" Luo Yiyi said, touching the spot Chu Qin had lightly patted.

"That's not right, Yi Yi, why is the needle pointing towards the sky?" Chu Qin said, looking puzzled.
