Chapter 190: Return to Tiandou Empire_1
"Would you like to stay by my side then? I’ll give you a massage every day," Gu Yuena said with a radiant smile.
"This..." Chu Qin found it somewhat difficult to answer. He had left in such a hurry this time, and Tang Yuehua had just confessed her feelings not long ago. He couldn’t just leave her all alone at home.
"Alright, I was just teasing you! There are still seven months to go!" Gu Yuena replied.
"What, seven months?" Chu Qin asked.
"Our annual promise! Remember, you agreed to spend one month with me every year!" Gu Yuena responded.
"So that’s what it is. Alright, I promise you, no matter where I am in seven months, I will definitely go to the Aquipeia Forest to find you!" Chu Qin nodded with a smile.
"Hmm, you’re really nice!" Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena immediately snuggled into Chu Qin’s embrace.
"Chu Qin!" Just then, the voice of Dugu Yan came from outside the cave.
"What’s the matter?" Chu Qin and Gu Yuena immediately let go of each other and stepped out the door.
"It’s terrible, it’s about Ling Ling’s father!" Dugu Yan said with some urgency.
"What happened!" Chu Qin asked as he ran towards Ye Tianjun’s room.
"Ling Ling’s father, he has abandoned his Soul Power Martial Soul!" Dugu Yan replied.
Chu Qin breathed a sigh of relief because this news was better than Ye Tianjun being dead. Nevertheless, he still felt a little anxious, as Ye Lingling must be suffering at the moment.
Sure enough, when they arrived, they saw Ye Tianjun lying on a stone bed. The Nine Demoness and some high-ranking members of the Jiuxin Haitang Sect were with him, and Ye Lingling was kneeling by the side, crying.
"Silly child, stop crying. I haven’t died!" Ye Tianjun said as he stroked Ye Lingling’s head.
"Daddy!" Ye Lingling said sadly.
"Sigh!" Ye Tianjun forced a smile and said, "Isn’t this better? The Jiuxin leaders have already said that, although I’ve given up my Soul Power Martial Soul, my body is still healthy. I can live at least another twenty or thirty years!"
"But!" Ye Lingling couldn’t stop her tears.
"There’s no ’but’ about it. I’m already reaching the end of my years. What regrets could I possibly have!" Ye Tianjun replied, "With your Grandpa An and the others by my side, I don’t need any Soul Power! From now on, just follow Chu Qin closely. With him there, the Jiuxin Haitang Sect will surely thrive!"
"Yes, don’t worry, Ling Ling. I will definitely protect the Sect Master well!" said the only Soul Douluo of the Jiuxin Haitang Sect. This Soul Douluo’s relationship with Ye Tianjun was like that of Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi – they shared a bond forged in life-and-death situations!
At that moment, Chu Qin also quietly approached Ye Lingling and crouched down beside her, "Ling Ling, your uncle is right. I will make sure to protect you well!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling felt a weakness come over her, and she collapsed into Chu Qin’s arms.
Then, Chu Qin looked at Ye Tianjun and said, "Uncle, I promise you, with me around, Ling Ling will never suffer the slightest harm in the future!"
"Hmm, Uncle believes you!" Ye Tianjun replied with a smile.
"Uncle, how about this – don’t stay here anymore. Come back to the Tiandou Imperial Capital with me!" Chu Qin continued.
"What, no!" Ye Tianjun replied, "As soon as we return there, we will immediately be pursued by the Martial Soul Hall for assassination!"
"That won’t happen!" Chu Qin replied, "I can assure you that the Martial Soul Hall will never lift a finger against the Jiuxin Haitang Sect!"
"You’re from the Martial Soul Hall!"
This was the first thought that came to Ye Tianjun’s mind.
"Since that’s the case, I won’t keep it from you any longer!" Chu Qin pointed to the two figures behind him and said, "These two are Elders of the Martial Soul Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei!"
"What!" Ye Tianjun’s and An’s pupils dilated in shock.
Upon hearing this, the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluos knew what Chu Qin meant, and they promptly showed their Elder’s Tokens.
Seeing the token, Ye Tianjun then became convinced.
At the same time, they realized that if even the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluos obeyed Chu Qin, what exalted status must Chu Qin hold within the Martial Soul Hall?
"Now, do you believe me?" Chu Qin replied.
"Hmm, thank you!"
Ye Tianjun pondered for a moment before replying. If it weren’t for the coercion of Martial Soul Hall, how could Jiuxin Haitang Sect willingly seclude themselves here!
Now, having established support from Chu Qin, who would dare to bully the Jiuxin Haitang Sect in the future!
Chu Qin did not rush back to Tiandou Imperial Capital but first made a trip to Aquipeia Forest.
After ten days, a grand entourage made its way back to the Tiandou Empire.
Chu Qin’s outing this time proved to be extremely fruitful; not only did he obtain Bai Chenxiang, he found Ye Lingling and even gained a summit-level Soul Douluo follower. It was truly a rewarding journey.
After some thought, Chu Qin did not arrange for the Jiuxin Haitang Sect members and the four great families to stay in the Blue Dragon Royal Academy. After all, that was his "love nest," and having too many people would be inconvenient for certain matters.
Fortunately, the Jiuxin Haitang Sect was not without its foundations. Being one of the Three Earthly Sects, they owned a super estate even in the expensive Tiandou Imperial Capital.
So, Chu Qin decided to let the four great families merge with the Jiuxin Haitang Sect and live together in that estate.
Chu Qin, however, led the women back to the Blue Dragon Royal Academy.
The women heard that Chu Qin had brought Lingling back and immediately came out of their rooms!
"Lingling, you’re finally back!" Xiaowu greeted her first, "You have no idea, since you left without saying goodbye, Chu Qin was so worried he lost his appetite and scant slept at all!"
"Mhm, Xiaowu!" Ye Lingling nodded with a hint of guilt, "It was my fault this time; I won’t leave Chu Qin and you all again."
"No worries, it’s good that you’re back!" Meng Yiran said with a smile.
"Eh, who are these two?"
Zhu Zhuyun looked towards the Nine Demoness and Bai Chenxiang.
"Zhu Yun, take a guess!" Zi Ji crossed her arms and smiled meaningfully.
"Oh, I get it!" Zhu Zhuyun nodded in understanding.
Every time Chu Qin went out, he would bring back some beautiful sisters; they were no longer surprised by this!
"Get what?" Chu Qin replied with irritation, "Zhu Yun, don’t listen to Zi Ji’s nonsense. Let me introduce them to you—Nine Demoness, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast! Don’t get the wrong idea, the Nine Demoness doesn’t have any sort of relationship with me, or you all!"
"Oh, no relationship!" the women said in unison, laughing.
In their eyes, this seemed like Chu Qin was assigning them a task—to make the Nine Demoness into someone with a ’relationship’!
Upon hearing this, the Nine Demoness was somewhat surprised, "Master, are these all your..."
"Correct!" Chu Qin nodded and smiled proudly, "What you see here are mostly my girlfriends!"
The Nine Demoness was momentarily taken aback, her mouth agape. Chu Qin was truly impressive; each of his women was exceptionally beautiful and had the grace of unparalleled elegance!
Especially Wang Qiu’er, who did not give off the impression of a soul beast, but the Nine Demoness felt a mysterious force emanating from her that was attracting her attention!
Bai Chenxiang, on the other hand, was unperturbed. Thanks to the System, she was endowed with a fondness that made her open to every woman connected to Chu Qin!
"Additionally, let me introduce another important person!" Chu Qin continued while pointing to Bai Chenxiang, "Your new sister, Bai Chenxiang!"
Despite that, Bai Chenxiang was still a bit shy, "Hello everyone, my name is Bai Chenxiang. I’ve just arrived, and I hope to learn a lot from my sisters here!"
"Chenxiang, nice to meet you. I’m Liu Erlong!" Liu Erlong was the first to reply, "Don’t be shy here; we’re all family!"
"Mhm!" Bai Chenxiang nodded earnestly.
Following that, Xiaowu and the others introduced themselves one by one. At this moment, Chu Qin turned to Xiaowu and said, "Xiaowu, look who I’ve brought with me?"
"Hmm?" Xiaowu raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.
The very next moment, a light shone beside Chu Qin, and an exquisitely beautiful woman appeared before them!
It was none other than Xiaowu’s mother, Mei Wu!
