My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

"Husband, are you hungry? Come and eat!"

Qi Yu walked to Su Yue's side, reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, his face gentle as he smiled and said, "I am hungry, but compared to the food, I would rather eat my beautiful wife!"

Su Yue was slightly taken aback before realizing what Qi Yu meant by 'eat'. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at Qi Yu with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

"Oh, okay! Then I'll eat by myself, since you're not hungry anyway!"

Qi Yu laughed and said, "You eat, I eat you, that makes perfect sense!"

Su Yue turned around, embarrassed and angry, and said, "You're a teacher, yet you're still so unprofessional. Go wash your hands and eat."

"Yes, sir!" Qi Yu stood up straight and said in a firm and powerful voice, then turned around to wash his hands.

When Qi Yu returned after washing his hands, Su Yue had already served the rice and was waiting for him.

Just like the past four hundred days and nights, the two sat facing each other eating without saying a word, and occasionally served each other food.

After the meal, Qi Yu didn't argue with Su Yue about clearing the dishes. After Su Yue took the dishes away, he simply wiped the table clean.

A while later, Su Yue returned, picked up the basket that was placed to the side, sat down opposite Qi Yu, took out a needle and thread from the basket, and began to do needlework.

"My lady, there's something I'd like to discuss with you!" Qi Yu looked at Su Yue's profile, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"You say it!" Su Yue didn't even look up, her eyes were fixed on the needle and thread.

"Your elder brother has a son named Qi Ran, you know him, right?" Qi Yu asked.

Su Yue paused, then nodded and asked, "I know, what's wrong?"

Qi Yu pondered for a moment before speaking, "Actually, I have already found my sister-in-law and Qi Ran, but my sister-in-law has already remarried, and she seems to be doing very well."

"But Qi Ran doesn't seem to be doing so well, so I'm thinking of bringing him here to live with us!"

When Qi Yu met Qi Ran in Tongyun City, he found that the eight-year-old boy was actually going to a restaurant to sell fish. Qi Yu felt it was necessary to take him over.

No matter what, they are blood relatives after all!

My sister-in-law has remarried, and judging from her appearance, although she is having a hard time, she is still happy.

Qi Yu originally didn't intend to disturb him, but the scene of Qi Ran selling fish in the restaurant would still occasionally float into his mind, and he felt a strange pang of sorrow in his heart.

So Qi Yu hesitated for a few days, but still wanted to bring Qi Ran over so that he could teach and raise her himself.

Su Yue thought for a moment, then asked, "Are you talking about the boy we saw in the restaurant the other day?"

Qi Yu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and asked in surprise, "It was him, my wife, how did you know?"

When he met Su Yue, his sister-in-law had already remarried a year earlier, taking Qi Ran with her. So, in terms of time, it was impossible for Su Yue to have met Qi Ran.

“Your mood was clearly off that day, so I followed you. But you were so focused on looking at the tree that you didn’t notice me,” Su Yue said.

Qi Yu was speechless. Indeed, it was true. When he saw Qi Yu that day, his heart was in turmoil.

"Then what do you think, my wife?" Qi Yu asked.

Su Yue smiled and said, "Whatever you want to do, I will support you. Qi Ran is, after all, a member of the Qi family, so I naturally have no objection."

Qi Yu looked at Su Yue and then laughed. He had been worried that Su Yue would object, but now it seemed that he had underestimated her.

"What have I done to deserve you?" Qi Yu said softly.

Su Yue raised an eyebrow, looked up, and said arrogantly, "You know how good I am? Then be good to me!"

Qi Yu laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll stay on top more often from now on!"

Su Yue was taken aback. Above? What does that mean?

As she thought about it, some images flashed through her mind, and her cheeks instantly turned bright red as she glared fiercely at Qi Yu.

The more she thought about it, the more ashamed and indignant she felt. Under Qi Yu's gaze, she felt even more ashamed and indignant. She put the half-embroidered brocade back into the basket, got up, and went back to the inner room.

"You're so irresponsible! You should go sleep in the woodshed! That's the best place for you!"

Chapter 118 Toad

Early the next morning, Qi Yu rented a carriage in Jiangzhou City and traveled to Tongyun City with Su Yue.

Tongyun City and Jiangzhou City both belong to Lantian County, and the two places are more than 90 kilometers apart. By carriage, it would only take a day at most.

We set off in the morning and arrived before the sun set in the afternoon.

Arriving at the gate of the Su residence again, Qi Yu felt somewhat dazed, as if he had been in another world!

It's been almost four months. The last time I came here was on Mid-Autumn Festival.

The servants of the Su family familiarly took the reins from Qi Yu and led the carriage away.

Qi Yu casually handed the gift he had brought for Su Chengying to a servant, then took Su Yue's hand and went inside.

Zhou Yi led the way and then they arrived at the backyard, where they met Su Chengying and Xu Shuqin.

Standing in front of them, Su Yun had his head down, clearly being scolded.

Upon arriving at the pavilion, Qi Yu released Su Yue's hand and bowed to Su Chengying and Xu Shuqin.

"Greetings, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law!"

Su Chengying nodded. Xu Shuqin saw Qi Yu and Su Yue and smiled, then waved to the two of them.

"Come sit down, sit next to your mother!"

There were only four stone benches in the pavilion. Qi Yu and Su Yue sat down, and the pavilion was full. Su Yun stood with her head down.

"What's wrong with you, brother?" Qi Yu asked in surprise after sitting down.

Su Yue's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something, and she looked at her older brother with a strange gaze.

"Humph!"

Su Chengying snorted coldly, his expression somewhat unpleasant, while Xu Shuqin's expression was rather complicated.

"Yu'er, do you know about the Purple Qi Pavilion?" Xu Shuqin asked.

Purple Qi Pavilion?

Qi Yu frowned and pondered for a while, as if he had indeed heard of it.

"Is it the Ziqi Pavilion in the Qi region on the southeast coast?"

Xu Shuqin nodded, then sighed and looked at Su Yun, saying, "Originally, your father-in-law and I had arranged a marriage for Yun'er, and you know who the bride is, it's your Uncle Lin's daughter, Lin Ruoxi."

"About a month ago, Ruoxi came to visit, and she also expressed her intention to marry Yun'er."

"But later, Yun'er said something to Ruoxi, and the matter was dropped."

As she spoke, Xu Shuqin's face darkened, and she said, "If things were as they are, it would be fine. If I don't want to marry Ruoxi, then I don't want to marry her. It's not a big deal."

"But this unfilial son actually wanted to marry a disciple of the Purple Qi Pavilion, and even went to the girl's side of the street to express his love. He has completely disgraced our Su family and Xu family!"

Qi Yu listened to Xu Shuqin's words, tilting his head slightly, somewhat bewildered.

This is a lot of information!

First of all, there's Lin Ruoxi. She actually agreed to marry Su Yun!

This woman is very shrewd and not as gentle and virtuous as she appears on the surface.

Secondly, there's the Purple Qi Pavilion!

The Purple Qi Pavilion seems to be a giant in the righteous path, a behemoth that can rival the Blood God Sect.

Su Yun marrying a disciple of the Purple Qi Pavilion doesn't seem like a big deal, does it? How is it a disgrace to the Su and Xu families?

Finally, there's this brother-in-law's questionable behavior. He taught you not to hesitate when pursuing girls and to make a move when the time is right, but confessing your love in the street is just wrong!

Seeing Su Yun, who is usually very calm and aloof, do such a strange thing, Qi Yu felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Um, does the Purple Qi Pavilion have a grudge against our Su family?" Qi Yu asked cautiously.

Su Chengying glanced at Qi Yu, then looked at Su Yue with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Xu Shuqin also sighed and said, "The Ziqi Pavilion doesn't have a grudge against the Su family, it has a grudge against the Xu family!"

Qi Yu looked at Xu Shuqin in surprise. He really didn't know who his mother-in-law's parents were.

"Our Xu family's ancestral home is in the south, next to the Ziqi Pavilion. A few years ago, we were severely suppressed by the Ziqi Pavilion, and our family business was almost swallowed up by the Ziqi Pavilion. Only in recent years has things improved somewhat."

Qi Yu nodded. The expansion of a great power is inevitably built upon the destruction of countless small families and forces.

Given that the Xu family was located next to a behemoth like the Purple Qi Pavilion, Qi Yu was not surprised that they were swallowed up.

Qi Yu wondered how the Xu family had withstood the onslaught from the Purple Qi Pavilion.

"That old man is a grandmaster!" Su Chengying glanced at Qi Yu and said indifferently.

Qi Yu was taken aback, as if he had just heard the word "interesting"!

If I'm not mistaken, the old man Su Chengying was talking about...

"Do you have the guts to call him an old man in front of my father?" Xu Shuqin glared at Su Chengying.

Su Chengying was speechless. He could beat him in a fight, but the problem was that he was his father-in-law!

How he treats Qi Yu now is exactly how that old man treated him before.

He wanted Qi Yu to experience the same abuse he had suffered back then.

"Was my... was my grandfather a grandmaster?" Qi Yu asked in a hoarse voice.

Xu Shuqin nodded and smiled, "My father is indeed a grandmaster!"

Qi Yu's Adam's apple bobbed. A grandmaster!

So far, he has only personally met two grandmasters.

One is Liu Heguang, the master of Qingxuan Valley, and the other is the sect leader.

He had never met Li Zhen in person, only seen his information.

Qi Yu looked at Su Chengying with sympathy, finally understanding why Su Chengying was afraid of his wife.

With a grandmaster as his father-in-law, how could he not be afraid?

Su Chengying noticed the sympathy in Qi Yu's eyes, and narrowed her eyes slightly. What did this brat mean by that?

This kid actually sympathizes with him!
