Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"What exactly should I clarify?" Just at that moment, Xiaowu walked into the room, laden with large and small parcels, "Chu Qin, what did Aunt Ina come here for, was she looking for Yi Yi??"

"It was nothing…" Chu Qin shook his head, "Where did you go?"

"Shopping!" Xiaowu said happily, "Chu Qin, I bought you lots of goodies, and new clothes!"

"You, bought clothes for me?" Chu Qin tapped Xiaowu's head, "Naughty rabbit, have you finally seen the light!"

"I am not just a nau… what naughty rabbit!" While Xiaowu was taking out clothes and boasting with a triumphant smile, she noticed something was amiss and quickly corrected herself, "I mean, I can care for you too, try them on and see, how are they?"

"Can't try them on!" Chu Qin shook his head helplessly.

"How come you can't try them on?" Xiaowu asked in confusion.

"They're too small, how can I try them on?" Chu Qin said helplessly as he picked up the clothes that were two sizes too small and shook his head.

"Ah, that's impossible, these are the largest clothes in the apparel store!" Xiaowu frowned as she spoke, "The shopkeeper even specifically told me that they would fit a twenty-cycle-old!"

"Xiaowu, twenty cycles is the Ancient Family's way of measuring age, equivalent to a hundred-day-old baby outside. Did you by any chance shop at a baby store?" At this, Luo Yiyi stepped out from somewhere.

"Ah…" Xiaowu's face became crestfallen, "I bought the wrong thing… but I picked them out with so much care!"

"Xiaowu, from now on, I'll buy the clothes…" Chu Qin stroked Xiaowu's head tenderly, indulgent, and somewhat helplessly said.

"Mm-hmm!" Xiaowu nodded her head.

"Xiaowu, it's inevitable to make mistakes when you're new here," Luo Yiyi added with a smile.

"Yeah." Xiaowu nodded like a child who had done something wrong.

"Speaking of which, Yi Yi, how did you come out?" Chu Qin looked at Luo Yiyi and asked, "Eh, you've become a Supreme God already!"

"Yes, that's right!" Luo Yiyi said with a proud smile, "I've had my breakthrough. It was supposed to take a month, but I wanted to see you sooner, and tomorrow is Pangu's birthday. I would feel even more uneasy not seeing you."

Chu Qin smiled faintly, his finger touching Luo Yiyi's forehead.

At this moment, Chu Qin's face clearly flashed with a hint of surprise, but he quickly regained his composure, "The realm is just a little unstable. It should be fine after a few days of cultivation."

"But you'll have to wait until after Pangu's birthday to cultivate!" Luo Yiyi said with a smile. Looking at Luo Yiyi's smile, Chu Qin smiled on the surface but inwardly he was slightly startled, "Turns out, Yi Yi is not human. No wonder she can absorb so quickly. Wait, Yi Yi isn't human… then the words Aunt Ina said earlier."

Thinking back to Yina's words, Chu Qin suddenly made a bold conjecture: Luo Yiyi truly wasn't born from Yina, and moreover, Luo Yiyi's identity as a soul beast wasn't ordinary!

However, one thing was certain, Luo Yiyi was a soul beast with the Nine Phoenixes Eye.

Of course, whether Luo Yiyi was human or a soul beast, Chu Qin didn't mind in the slightest, but he had to clarify.

"Chu Qin, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Chu Qin's dazed expression, Luo Yiyi asked smiling.

"Yi Yi…" Chu Qin began but then hesitated.

"What's wrong? Is there something we can't talk about between us?" Luo Yiyi asked.

"Right, hesitating and stuttering, that's not like you, Chu Qin," Xiaowu also said.

"Alright then, Yi Yi, are you really a soul beast?" Chu Qin asked.

"Ah! Chu Qin, how could Sister Yi Yi possibly be a soul beast?" Xiaowu was somewhat taken aback.

Meanwhile, Luo Yiyi paused for a second, then admitted with a smile, "It seems I can't hide it from you, and I shouldn't. Chu Qin, I am a soul beast."

"Sister Yi Yi, are you really a soul beast? How can that be, how can I not sense any soul beast aura from you?" Xiaowu asked.

"Because, I am a human-form soul beast!" Luo Yiyi pursed her red lips and said.

"A human-form soul beast?" Chu Qin and Xiaowu said in unison, slightly startled.

"Yes!" Luo Yiyi nodded and continued, "Put simply, I was once a soul beast, but my beast form was later destroyed by someone, and it was Mother who took my beast soul and infused it into a dying human body, allowing me to be reborn!"

Chu Qin instantly had an epiphany about everything!

"Chu Qin, Sister Yi Yi is somewhat like Sister Phoínix!" Xiaowu remarked.

"Yes!" Luo Yiyi nodded and looked toward Chu Qin, "Chu Qin, will you despise me?"

"Of course not!" Chu Qin responded immediately, moving to Luo Yiyi's side and gently smiled, "No matter what you are, you'll always be my Chu Qin's woman!"

"Yes!" Tears brimmed Luo Yiyi's eyes as she nodded fervently and threw herself into Chu Qin's arms, "Thank you, Chu Qin!"

"Why are you crying!" Chu Qin wiped away Luo Yiyi's tears, speaking softly.

"I thought you might mind, so I've been hiding it from you and the sisters. Chu Qin, I'm so sorry, truly sorry!" Luo Yiyi said.

Chu Qin immediately buried Luo Yiyi's head in his chest, "Everyone has secrets, what's there to mind?"

"Yes, Chu Qin also has a bunch of secrets he hasn't told us," Xiaowu chimed in.

"Actually, I asked Yi Yi to keep this secret!" At that moment, Yuè Yīnà's voice rang out.

"Mother!"

"Aunt Ina!"

Luo Yiyi and Chu Qin, Xiaowu, called out to Yuè Yīnà in turn.

Yuè Yīnà turned around, closed the door, and walked toward Luo Yiyi and Chu Qin.

"I'm sorry, Mother!"

Luo Yiyi attempted to kneel to Yuè Yīnà but was immediately stopped by the latter who smiled and said, "Silly girl, this secret would inevitably come to light. You could hide it from your grandfather, but you must never deceive Chu Qin."

"Aunt Ina, why keep it from Elder Luo?" Chu Qin asked.

"With your intelligence, you should already have some idea in your heart, right?" Yuè Yīnà asked back.

"Yi Yi is a sealing beast!" Chu Qin frowned slightly and said.

"As expected of you, correct!" Yuè Yīnà nodded, "Yi Yi is indeed a sealing beast, a White Phoenix; however, she is only a yellow grade sealing beast, formed from the energy of her grandfather when he ascended to the rank of Three Calamities Supreme Deity. But Yi Yi broke the seal and was unbound the moment she was born.

"So, Yi Yi was formed from Elder Luo's energy," Chu Qin nodded in understanding.

"Yes! At the start, we had no idea that the ascension of the Three Calamities Supreme Deity would give rise to an innate fierce beast. Yi Yi looked like a white fledgling phoenix, extremely adorable, posing no threat to us, and her eyes are identical to the Nine Phoenixes Eye passed down through the Luo Family for generations. We all thought this was a divine beast bestowed upon the Luo Family by the heavens, and we doted on Yi Yi immensely," Yuè Yīnà explained warmly as she gazed at Luo Yiyi.

"However, not long after, people from Ancient Families came and informed us of the dangers of sealing beasts. Ultimately, after much deliberation, Yi Yi's grandfather ordered me to assassinate Yi Yi covertly!" Yuè Yīnà's expression darkened.

Hearing these words, Luo Yiyi, as if recalling something, began to tremble ever so slightly; Chu Qin quickly wrapped her in his embrace.

"At that time, I had already grown attached to Yi Yi, raising her as if she were my own child. But how could we defy the decree of the Ancient Families? I had once asked Yi Yi's grandfather if we could avoid carrying out the order, but Yi Yi's grandfather told me that two Three Calamities Supreme Deities came from the Ancient Families! If we did not comply, they would forcibly take action. Out of desperation, I ended up poisoning Yi Yi to death with immortal-grade poison," she continued.

"And just as Yi Yi was dying, a white light surged upward from her body, from within which Yi Yi's phoenix cry could be heard. After consulting the ancient texts, I learned that it was the Divine Soul of the Beast, a trait belonging only to divine beasts! Yi Yi was not a ferocious beast; she was a Divine Beast!" Yuè Yīnà said.

"But this is something I would never, under any circumstances, tell Elder Luo or the Ancient Families about, so I secretly preserved Yi Yi's divine soul. After the people from the Ancient Families left, I used the methods from the ancient texts to infuse Yi Yi's divine soul into a dying baby girl, and pretending to be pregnant, I finally made it legitimate for Yi Yi to continue living."
