Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

```

"Uncle, Auntie, you've come a long way, braving dust and wind. I have prepared a reception banquet for you!" At this moment, Chu Qin spoke up to break the tension.

"Good, that's thoughtful of you," Luo Shentian responded readily, "then let's have a meal first, have a meal first."

"Alright, Uncle, this way, please!" Chu Qin said with a smile to Luo Shentian.

Led by Chu Qin, everyone entered the Douluo Hall, apart from Chu Qin's ladies and aunts, Luo Shentian also only had Yue Yina, Luo Tianyun, Luo Cangqiong, and Luo Taishan accompanying him.

Following that, everyone closed the doors of the hall tightly and sealed off their presence.

"Chu Qin, there shouldn't be any outsiders here now," Luo Shentian began, "Chu Qin, are we truly standing on the legendary Divine Star?"

"Yes!" Chu Qin confirmed decisively, "Genuine as they come."

"Divine Heaven, you can be at ease, I have seen it with my own eyes," Luo Tianyun said, "Chu Qin has become the Lord of the Divine Star and ascended to be a Supreme God."

"Uh-huh!" Luo Shentian nodded excitedly, "Good, wonderful! Our Luo Family and all the Ancient Families have been pursuing the Divine Star for a lifetime, and to think that it's right under my feet!"

"Chu Qin, you mentioned granting our Luo Family three hundred spots, is that true?" Luo Shentian continued.

"Do I, Chu Qin, seem like a man who would not honor his word?" Chu Qin replied.

"Chu Qin, do you and Yi Yi truly love each other?" Luo Tianyun suddenly changed the topic.

"Yes!" Chu Qin looked toward Luo Yiyi and nodded.

"Initially, you were outstanding enough, and as the Lord of the Divine Star giving Yi Yi to you was something both Yina and I had no objections to," Luo Shentian said, "But, as for your ladies, you do have quite a few, and Yi Yi has been pampered since childhood. I'm afraid that if one day you neglect her, she wouldn't be able to take it!"

"Father, what are you talking about?" Luo Yiyi frowned, "Chu Qin would never be that kind of person."

"Indeed, Uncle, you are worrying too much," Xiaowu chimed in protectively, "I am Chu Qin's first woman, and though there have been many sisters over the years, Chu Qin has never neglected me, nor any sister."

"Yes, Uncle, you're overthinking this," Ning Rongrong added.

At this moment, Chu Qin smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, we're all family here, please speak your mind."

"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point," Luo Shentian declared, "I want five hundred spots. With that, you and Yi Yi can discuss anything freely, and Yina and I will not intervene."

"Five hundred?" Chu Qin's brow furrowed slightly.

"Yes, our Luo Family is rather large!" Luo Shentian replied, "Chu Qin, what do you think?"

"Alright, no problem," Chu Qin nodded, "But I do have a favor to ask in return."

"Fair enough! Speak freely," Luo Shentian laughed heartily.

"It's nothing major," Chu Qin said, "I would like to ask if you know about the Tree of Cosmic Life."

Since Luo Shentian once led the universe's foremost power, he might know the whereabouts of the Tree of Cosmic Life.

Hearing this, both Luo Shentian and Yue Yina's expressions changed, with Luo Shentian exclaiming in shock, "Chu Qin, what do you want with the Tree of Life?"

Noticing the change in their demeanors, Chu Qin's eyebrows raised, "Uncle, Auntie, could it be that you really know where the Tree of Cosmic Life is?"

"We don't," Luo Shentian shook his head, "I'm just curious."

"I won't hide it from you, I have a good friend, the founder of the Titan God Star Domain, the predecessor Shi Tian Di, who is on the verge of soul demise. I've heard that the Tree of Cosmic Life has the power to bring a Supreme God back from death, so I want to give it a try."

"I see," Luo Shentian nodded.

"Father, if you know the whereabouts of the Tree of Life, please tell Chu Qin. The predecessor Shi Tian Di is a genuinely good person; we almost lost our lives to the Immortal Buddha from the Extremely Evil Aristocrat Family in the Pixiu Secret Realm, and Shi Tian Di was willing to sacrifice himself to save us," Luo Yiyi spoke up.

```

"Yiyi, it's not that your father won't tell you," Luo Shentian said, "the truth is, both your mother and I don't know. The Tree of Cosmic Life is, just like Azure Dragon, an Ancestral Level Being, and such beings are nearly just legends. Perhaps there is no such thing as the Tree of Cosmic Life."

Chu Qin's face slightly changed, and then he smiled and said, "Well then, Uncle, since you don't know, there's nothing that can be done about it. I'll give you the five hundred spots you asked for. Let's not talk about other matters today –drink until we're absolutely drunk!"

"Great!" Luo Shentian, laughing heartily, picked up the jug of Immortal Wine and said, "Chu Qin, although I don't know where the Tree of Life is, from now on, you're the son-in-law I acknowledge. Your matters are our Luo Family's matters!"

"Shen Tian, drink less, you'll mess things up when drunk," Yue Yina advised.

"With Chu Qin here, I'm happy, and what could possibly happen today!"

"Come on, Uncle, a toast to you!" Chu Qin, lifting his own jug, joined in.

Following that, the two men drank heartily until nightfall.

Of course, a Supreme God would not easily get drunk, but Chu Qin's wine was not ordinary—it was medicinal wine brewed from rare treasures of Divine Star. Consequently, both Chu Qin and Luo Shentian ended up thoroughly intoxicated.

Luo Shentian was supported by Yue Yina as they left the hall, while Chu Qin was carried to his room by Luo Yiyi, Xiao Xiyue, Ye Zixi, and Shi Yao.

"Drinking so much!" Luo Yiyi, looking at Chu Qin sprawled out on the bed in a mess, said with slight annoyance.

"Yiyi, Chu Qin and your father have just met; they were happy!" Shi Yao said with a smile.

"Strange, even with Immortal Wine, Chu Qin's tolerance isn't just this much," Ye Zixi, expressing her doubt, said.

"Xi'er is right, I'm not drunk," Chu Qin, who had sobered up, said.

"Chu Qin, you're not drunk?" The four ladies were shocked.

"Mm," Chu Qin nodded his head, "Yiyi, to be honest, I drank so much with uncle just to extract the location of the Tree of Cosmic Life from him. Shi Tian Di has been falling asleep more often and for longer periods recently; I must not let his soul pass on."

"Chu Qin, do you really think Shen Tian Uncle knows the whereabouts of the Tree of Cosmic Life?" Shi Yao asked.

"Definitely knows!" Before Chu Qin could reply, Luo Yiyi said, "When Chu Qin mentioned the Tree of Life, their expressions obviously changed. Here's what we'll do, Chu Qin: tonight, I'll ask them to spill the beans."

"No rush!" Chu Qin shook his head, "Uncle and Auntie adore you so much, if they're not telling, there must be a reason for it. Don't worry, we have plenty of time, we'll find a way to make them talk."

"Alright!" Luo Yiyi nodded her head, "So what should we do now?"

"What do you think?" Chu Qin said with a mysterious smile.

The four ladies instantly understood Chu Qin's intent...

Meanwhile, in a villa.

"Alright, stop pretending, with your tolerance you could drink for ten days and nights with no issue!" Yue Yina said to the Luo Shentian who was feigning sleep on the bed.

Heeding the words, Luo Shentian opened his eyes and sat up, saying seriously, "Yina, do you think Chu Qin could tell I was faking it?"

"He definitely knows," Yue Yina replied, "Our expressions changed so dramatically, someone as astute as Chu Qin would surely have caught on."

Luo Shentian nodded, "Yina, Chu Qin is our future son-in-law. Don't you feel a bit guilty for not telling him about the Tree of Life?"

"There's no helping it," Yue Yina said, "That place is too dangerous. I'd rather deceive him than let him take such a risk."

"But, seeing how determined Chu Qin is, he will definitely go, and he'll surely find every possible way to locate it," Luo Shentian said.

"Then you should help him," Yue Yina said.

"Ah?" Luo Shentian raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I mean, not by telling Chu Qin the place," Yue Yina clarified, "but by finding a way to help Shi Tian Di recover."
