Heading to Purple Pearl Island_1

All the girls were incredibly excited! Not to mention, with these soul tools, they could significantly increase their combat abilities!

At the same time, this was an unimaginable fortune!

For Xiaowu and the others, who were exhausted from working arduous farm chores just for ten golden soul coins, this was truly thrilling!

However, Chu Qin and his team celebrated too soon!

Even with the blueprints and materials, mastering soul-guidance technology was not something that could be achieved in a day. After several hours of hard work, they had failed numerous times!

"Chu Qin, it seems we celebrated a little too early!" Hulena said with a resigned smile.

"Hmm," Chu Qin smiled and nodded, acknowledging the undeniable truth.

"So what do we do?" Xiaowu frowned slightly and asked, "Are we just going to watch these materials go to waste?"

"They won't be wasted!" Qian Renxue said, "Just because we can't make them, doesn't mean others can't. Especially those powerful smiths on Soul Land. We just need to transport these materials back, and then let them make it!"

"That's right! Haste won't get us anywhere. We can deal with these soul tools after we return from Sea God Island," Chu Qin nodded, "Everyone must be tired, find a room on the ship and get some sleep!"

Following that, everyone chose a cabin to sleep in. Fortunately, there were plenty of empty rooms on the massive warship to accommodate Chu Qin and the ladies' needs.

Tonight, it was Hulena's, Qian Renxue's, and Ye Lingling's turn to attend to the bedroom, so they followed Chu Qin into a slightly larger room.

"We're a bit dirty. Let's take a bath first!" Qian Renxue suggested, "I wonder if there's a bathhouse on this ship."

"There is!" Hulena said, "I just checked; this ship's facilities are even more complete than our sailboat's!"

"Then that's perfect, who's going to bathe first?" Ye Lingling asked excitedly.

Hearing this, the three women looked at Chu Qin, who slightly curved the corner of his mouth, "To foster the habit of saving water, let's bathe together!"

"Okay!" All three women nodded in agreement at the same time.

Just as Chu Qin was about to lead the three women into the bathhouse, Zi Ji walked in, "Chu Qin, wait before bathing, someone is looking for you outside!"

"Who is it?" Chu Qin asked with a slight raise of his eyebrow.

"You'll know when you get there!" Zi Ji said with a serene smile.

"Then wait here for me!"

When Chu Qin left the cabin to go to the deck, he discovered that the people looking for him were Purple Pearl and Xiao Ju!

"Big brother!" Upon seeing Chu Qin, Xiao Ju immediately walked over with excitement!

"Xiao Ju..." Chu Qin looked at Xiao Ju, then glanced at Purple Pearl and curiously asked, "What are you doing here so late at night?"

"Big brother, we're leaving!" Xiao Ju said with a smile.

"Leaving, to where?" Chu Qin raised an eyebrow.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Ju seems very scared to sleep on the island. Whenever she sleeps, she dreams of her parents, so I've decided to take her away from this island and return to our Purple Pearl Island!" Purple Pearl spoke up before Xiao Ju could, explaining the situation.

"You're leaving now?" Chu Qin frowned.

"Yes!" Purple Pearl nodded and smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty, thank you once again for killing those evil men. We shall meet again if destiny allows!"

Purple Pearl's expression turned somewhat sentimental after uttering those words. For some reason, the idea of separating from Chu Qin caused her heart to feel reluctant to leave.

But she couldn't find any reason to stay.

Chu Qin also felt displeased. He was still pondering how to make Purple Pearl open up her heart to him, but now it seemed all in vain.

And with Purple Pearl leaving, Chu Qin's chances seemed even slimmer.

"Well then, until we meet again!" Chu Qin replied with a smile.

"Yes!" Purple Pearl said with a forced smile.

"Big brother, until we meet again!" Xiao Ju said, reluctant to part with Chu Qin.

Under Chu Qin's gaze, Purple Pearl led Xiao Ju away.

Chu Qin sighed softly.

Just then, Purple Pearl turned around and said, "Oh right, Your Majesty, I have yet to ask for your official title!"

"I don't have an official title, just call me Chu Qin!" Chu Qin replied immediately.

"Ah! You are the youngest Titled Douluo in the history of Soul Land, the Title Douluo of the Tiandou Empire, Lord Chu Qin!" Purple Pearl exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.

"Has my name really resonated out to sea?" Chu Qin said with a smile.

"Mhm!" Purple Pearl nodded, "Who doesn't know the name of Lord Chu Qin nowadays? I just never thought you would come to the sea!"

"Haha, what's so strange about that!" Chu Qin said with a nonchalant smile.

"Well then, Lord Chu Qin, until we meet again!" It was at this moment Purple Pearl's expression dimmed slightly as she responded.

"Hmm..." Chu Qin nodded seemingly calmly.

"What, are you not going after her?" Just then, Zi Ji came over with a flirty smile and asked.

"What are you talking about!" Chu Qin replied irritably, "You don't think that just because we've met once, I have fallen for her, do you?"

"Isn't that normal?" Zi Ji said with a light smile, "Come on, who am I? I know you well! From the way you looked at Purple Pearl during the day, something was off! That lady, although a bit quick-tempered, has the looks, the chest, and the behind. Plus, she's very righteous. She would be a good choice. Chu Qin, are you really going to let her slip away?"

Chu Qin ignored Zi Ji and calmly walked into the cabin.

"Huh, could it be that my Chu Qin has changed?"

Zi Ji raised an eyebrow and said.

Tonight, the moon shone like three months combined.

The next day, Chu Qin commanded the Sea Dragon to set sail, but the destination was not Sea God Island; it was Purple Pearl Island!

Chu Qin thought about it all night - when had there ever been something he wanted that he couldn't get?

Was it just a Purple Pearl?

If he couldn't avoid it, then Chu Qin had to make his way into her heart!

"Last night, I thought you had actually changed! It seems you are still the Chu Qin I know!" Watching Chu Qin stand at the bow, Zi Ji walked over and smiled playfully.

Chu Qin smiled faintly and turned around to embrace Zi Ji in his arms, smiling slightly, "Ah Zi, so tell me, what kind of person do you think I am in your heart?"

"What need is there to say, you're just after beauty!" Zi Ji responded.

Chu Qin's brow furrowed slightly as he gave Zi Ji's pert backside a firm squeeze and said softly, "Looking for trouble are you?"

"I was wrong!" Zi Ji quickly begged for mercy, "Chasing after beauty is nothing bad! Plus, you have so many other good qualities!"

"Like what?" Chu Qin asked with a slight smile.

"Like, loyal and righteous, hating evil as if it were an enemy... Elegant and unflappable, handsome as a jade tree standing in the wind, free-spirited and dashing!" Zi Ji said.

"This is the first time I've heard elegance and handsomeness described as personality traits!" Chu Qin shook his head slightly but was secretly elated.

"How about I help you once more? Someone like Purple Pearl isn't easy to win over!" Zi Ji said with a gentle smile.

"What's the plan? Use drugs again?" Chu Qin asked.

"In your eyes, am I someone who only resorts to using drugs?" Zi Ji replied, sounding a little hurt.

"...Besides that, what else can you do?" Chu Qin asked deliberately.

"To hell with you!" Zi Ji lightly punched Chu Qin's chest, "Actually, getting a woman like Purple Pearl is quite easy!"

"How so?"

"Just push her over!" Zi Ji replied.

"..." Chu Qin was rendered speechless.

"Purple Pearl and I have similar personalities. Wasn't I directly 'pushed over' by you when we first met?" Zi Ji said.
