Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

```

"Aren't you tired?" Chu Qin asked softly.

"Then I want to keep going," Xiang Li replied. "Chu Qin, actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time. Every time, I secretly..."

"Secretly what?" Chu Qin asked with interest.

Xiang Li's cheeks reddened, somewhat at a loss for words.

Before Xiang Li could finish, Chu Qin had already...

When the first light of dawn appeared.

Like Luo Yiyi and the others, it seemed Xiang Li was too exhausted and fell straight into sleep.

"Actually, this is also good," said Chu Qin, watching the sleeping Xiang Li, smiling gently.

Each of his women didn't take enough care of themselves. If they could fall asleep from exhaustion each time, perhaps it wasn't such a bad thing.

But Chu Qin needed to know if this situation posed any harm to his women.

"Later on, I'll ask Divine Heaven Uncle and Senior Tianyun about it," Chu Qin said as he tucked Xiang Li in, dressed himself, sat down, and began to cultivate.

Chu Qin found that after reaching the level of Supreme God, he didn't actually need to practice specially to enhance his strength—this was definitely a huge benefit of being a Supreme God.

However, Chu Qin was still cultivating the Thunder Emperor Holy Body. This constitution required actively absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

Another hour passed before Chu Qin finally stood up, and Xiang Li was still in deep sleep.

Chu Qin was about to join Xiang Li in sleep when suddenly an enchanting melody of a qin came to his ears.

"Eh, why is there qin music?" Chu Qin uttered in mild surprise, "Could it be Yuehua and Zi Xi? No, Yuehua and Zi Xi's music isn't like this, and besides, this is a melody I've never heard before. Although the music seems melodious and graceful, why does it carry a hint of sorrow?"

With his curiosity piqued, Chu Qin left Xiang Li's room and followed the sound of the music to a courtyard.

At that moment, within the courtyard, a stunning figure was sitting in front of a qin, her delicate hands plucking the strings.

The woman was exceedingly beautiful, dressed in an ancient white gown, her hair cascading down as though she had just risen from bed.

Chu Qin was first puzzled until he recognized the woman's face with some surprise. It was none other than Luo Yiyi's mother, Yue Yina!

"Aunt Ina!" Chu Qin exclaimed softly.

"Who is that!" Yue Yina heard Chu Qin's voice and looked in its direction.

"Aunt Ina, don't be alarmed, it's me!" Chu Qin responded with a smile back to Yue Yina.

"Chu Qin..." Yue Yina uttered with a bit of joy.

"Aunt Ina, you're up early to play the qin?" Chu Qin walked over and asked.

"Why are you here?" Yue Yina asked in confusion, "Aren't you supposed to be with Yi Yi?"

"Yi Yi hasn't gotten up yet. I just finished my cultivation when I heard Aunt's qin music, so I came to see," Chu Qin replied.

"So, that's the case. I didn't expect that you're not only exceptionally gifted but also so diligent. No wonder you're destined for great things," Yue Yina said with a charming smile.

Chu Qin noticed that up close, he could see Yue Yina's beauty more clearly—it was truly flawless, without a single defect, ever more captivating the more he gazed.

"Chu Qin, this is Yi Yi's mother; you must not harbor improper thoughts!" Chu Qin chided himself internally.

```

"Auntie, you flatter me. Auntie, where is Shén Tiān Uncle?" Chu Qin suppressed the restlessness in his heart and asked. Although he shouldn't harbor any impure thoughts, it was essential to establish a good relationship with his future mother-in-law.

Moreover, Chu Qin had a request for Yuè Yīnà.

"Divine Heaven... he hasn't gotten up yet, just like Yi Yi, such a big lazybones!" Yuè Yīnà replied.

"Well, that can't be said either. Someone like uncle, who has already reached the peak of life, should indeed enjoy it well," Chu Qin said with a smile.

"Chu Qin, although he is Yi Yi's father, you don't need to make excuses for him. He is lazy!"

Yuehua smiled gently, revealing a shallow dimple.

Chu Qin also revealed a smile, "Auntie, the music you played just now had a touch of melancholy. Could it be a hint to uncle?"

Yuè Yīnà showed a trace of surprise, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to understand music."

"Only a little bit," Chu Qin replied, "compared to Auntie, I'm far behind."

"Look at you, downplaying yourself," Yuè Yīnà replied. "I haven't heard your music yet. How about you play a piece?"

"Okay, since I'm free anyway, I'll give it a try," said Chu Qin as he sat down at Yuè Yīnà's spot and started to play slowly after testing the instrument.

"Really now, you call this a world of difference from me?" After the piece ended, Yuè Yīnà exclaimed in surprise, "Your skills on the zither, they're already not inferior to mine at all."

"Auntie, you're praising me too much. I've only learned a few moves from Yuehua," Chu Qin shook his head and said.

"Yuehua? Your woman, Tang Yuehua?" Yuè Yīnà asked.

"Yes," Chu Qin nodded.

"Alright, later on, I'll go and learn from her, to see what kind of master she is, to teach you a few moves that could surpass my zither skills," Yuè Yīnà said with a smile, shaking her head.

"Auntie is joking. Yuehua's musical skills can't compare to yours," Chu Qin said, joining in the light-hearted banter.

"Well, I still want to see for myself," Yuè Yīnà said. "They're your women, so they are also sisters to Yi Yi. As Yi Yi's mother, I should indeed interact with them more."

"Yes, that would be good," Chu Qin nodded. "Then, Aunt Ina, I will take my leave now. If Yi Yi wakes up and can't find me, it would be troublesome."

"Go ahead," Yuè Yīnà nodded.

Just as Chu Qin was about to turn around, he turned back again, "Aunt Ina, do you have any needs or anything?"

"Ah?" Yuè Yīnà was slightly startled.

"Don't misunderstand," Chu Qin said, "Since you have approved of my relationship with Yi Yi, you are my future mother-in-law. As a future son-in-law, I thought of giving you a gift, but it seems like there is nothing you lack, so that's why I ask."

"Oh, I see," Yuè Yīnà said with a chuckle. "You have already given so many generous gifts to the Luo Family, how could I ask for more from you."

"However, you've reminded me," she continued.

Yuè Yīnà said, spreading her jade hand open, on it there appeared a ring of imperial green, "As your future mother-in-law, I should give you a gift. Here, this ring is for you."

"That won't do," Chu Qin refused, "I haven't given you a gift, how can I accept one from you instead?"

"Take it, as you said, we're all family, why make such clear distinctions?" Yuè Yīnà insisted, "This ring may not be a Supreme Divine Artifact, but sometimes its utility can be even greater. It's called Xīng Hé Yù Jiè, forged from celestial bodies, and its space inside is vast enough to hold a planet. Take it, it might come in handy for you."

Chu Qin paused for a moment, then accepted the ring, "Then Aunt Ina, I also have a gift for you."
