My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

If only I had sent Su Yun there, I would have kept Qi Yu and trained him myself!

It's a bit of a waste to give such a good talent to your senior!

Chapter 121 Survival

After talking with Su Chengying until midnight, Qi Yu left the study and went to Su Yun's room.

I thought this guy would be withdrawn, but I was wrong. There was a pile of delicious food in front of him, a huge stack of candied fruits and pastries.

Without a doubt, Xu Shuqin and Su Yue did all of this.

Moreover, Xu Shuqin is currently in Su Yun's room, earnestly advising him.

Qi Yu thought for a moment, then went inside. While eating pastries and candied fruits, he echoed Xu Shuqin's criticism of Su Yun.

I've disliked this brother-in-law for a long time. He has a poker face and is very arrogant, as if someone owes him money.

Relying on Xu Shuqin's influence, he felt much more comfortable after taking advantage of her power.

After sitting for a while and finishing all the pastries and candied fruits on the table, making sure that not a single crumb was left for Su Yun, Qi Yu left satisfied.

When Qi Yu returned to Su Yue's room, he was dumbfounded. The pastries he had just eaten were now on the table, and there were two more kinds.

Su Yue seemed to have just taken a shower; her hair was still a little wet, and her long black hair fell naturally down her back. Her clothes were also a little loose, half-covering her, and there was a cleavage below her collarbone. Qi Yu felt a surge of blood rush to his head when he saw it and quickly turned his head away.

I don't have that bad self-control!

Back in Qingxuan Valley, when I saw so many beautiful young female disciples bathing, I didn't feel anything special.

Looking at them is like looking at a painting, purely for appreciation.

But for Su Yue, just the sight of her bare collarbone was enough to make her blood rush to her head and she couldn't control it.

Su Yue noticed Qi Yu's reaction, and a slight smile appeared on her lips as she felt a sense of accomplishment.

She used to think that selling one's body was a low-class and shameful act, so she never liked the people of the Hehuan Sect.

But now she doesn't think that way anymore, because she has found her value as a woman in Qi Yu.

She didn't care about other people's opinions, but she did care about Qi Yu's opinion of her.

"Husband, come and have some pastries, my mother and I just made them!"

Qi Yu nodded, calming his excitement, sat down at the table, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Su Yue was sitting opposite Qi Yu. After watching Qi Yu swallow, she opened her eyes wide and asked expectantly, "How does it taste?"

Qi Yu smacked his lips, savoring the aftertaste.

"It's alright, but..."

"But what?"

Su Yue hurriedly pressed for details, saying that she had made it herself and that her own mother had said it was fine.

"Hmm~ how should I put it?" Qi Yu stroked his chin, seemingly considering his words.

Su Yue looked at Qi Yu nervously, waiting for him to point out the flaws—whether it was too sweet or too bland—so she could improve!

"The pastries are delicious, but..." Qi Yu glanced at Su Yue out of the corner of his eye. Seeing Su Yue's nervous and expectant look, he smiled slightly and said, "But they're still not as delicious as you, my wife!"

Su Yue rolled her eyes at Qi Yu, too lazy to bother with this frivolous person anymore.

I reached out and picked up a chestnut pastry, then took a small bite. The familiar taste spread throughout my mouth, and I felt relaxed.

The life she wants is very simple, just like it is now.

Just sitting with the people you love, eating your favorite food, and living a simple, ordinary life is enough.

"My wife, I want some too, ah~"

Su Yue looked at Qi Yu, who had his mouth agape, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She shook her head helplessly.

He usually looks very mature and normal, but in front of me, he's the kind of person who'll never grow up.

He picked up a chestnut pastry and offered it to Qi Yu's open mouth, but as soon as he got close, Qi Yu turned his head away.

"I want the piece in your right hand!" Qi Yu pouted, as if a child was sulking.

Su Yue glanced at the chestnut pastry in her right hand, which she had already taken a bite out of, and gave Qi Yu a helpless glare.

"I can't do anything with you! Here you go!"

Su Yue handed over the chestnut pastry she had taken a bite of, her tone a mix of helplessness and doting.

Qi Yu glanced at it sideways and saw that it was indeed a chestnut pastry that Su Yue had taken a bite out of. Then he turned his head, opened his mouth, and waited for Su Yue to feed him.

Su Yue smiled helplessly, then put the chestnut pastry into Qi Yu's mouth, preparing to release the two fingers holding the pastry.

But at that moment, Qi Yu tilted his head forward slightly, closed his lips, and took Su Yue's fingers and chestnut pastry into his mouth.

Su Yue was stunned for a moment. The warm touch on her fingers made her cheeks flush red, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

Qi Yu seemed oblivious to Su Yue's shyness, and continued chewing, commenting as he chewed.

"Indeed, this chestnut pastry has the flavor of my wife, which elevates the originally plain taste to a whole new level!"

Su Yue glared at Qi Yu fiercely, and said angrily, "You're going to take advantage of me like this!"

Qi Yu shrugged and mumbled, "Even a small mosquito is still meat! It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal!"

Su Yue was speechless. In places like this, her husband would become particularly shameless.

After swallowing the chestnut pastry, he smacked his lips, still wanting more.

"Wife, another one!"

"Get lost! Take it yourself if you want to eat!" Su Yue pouted and snorted, then picked up a piece and ate it herself.

"Alright! Then my wife, eat more now, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on tonight!" Qi Yu rested his hands on the table, his face beaming.

Su Yue paused, her face flushed with embarrassment, and glared fiercely at Qi Yu, biting her lower lip.

That bastard!

Threatening oneself!

Ever since that bastard learned that even if he was forced to sleep in the woodshed, he would leave the door open for him, he has become increasingly reckless and fearless!

It's time to let him know that he's not someone to be trifled with!

……

boom!

The door was closed, and Qi Yu could even hear the sound of a bolt being inserted.

Qi Yu stood at the doorway, somewhat bewildered, until a gust of cold wind blew past, bringing him back to his senses.

"My wife, I was wrong, please let me in! It's so cold outside!" Qi Yu knocked on the door, looking miserable.

Making a big fuss about it might feel good for a moment, but winning your wife back will be a nightmare!

Su Yue remained unmoved, and then all the candles in the room went out.

Qi Yu was on the verge of tears, then looked at Su Chengying, who had appeared around the corner at some unknown time.

Qi Yu felt uneasy and his cheeks flushed at Su Chengying's ambiguous smile.

"Cough cough cough... Wife, I'm going to practice my skills all night tonight, so I won't be coming back to sleep. Don't wait for me!" Qi Yu coughed, his face full of righteous indignation.

Being kicked out of your room by your own wife is too embarrassing.

I left voluntarily; I wasn't kicked out by Su Yue.

If you firmly believe it, then it is the truth!

After straightening his clothes, Qi Yu walked up to Su Chengying, bowed, and greeted him.

Su Chengying suppressed a laugh, nodded, and said, "Come with me, I'll teach you some life-saving techniques!"

A life-saving measure? That would be a good thing!

Chapter 122 Winter Snow

The next morning, Qi Yu's eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were dark, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well.

The life-saving method Su Chengying mentioned was actually training his ability to take a beating.

He was simply settling a personal score!

A first-rank martial artist can temper their body with hammering, and generally, weapons without true qi cannot cut through the skin of a first-rank martial artist.

Qi Yu was tortured by Su Chengying all night, and his bones felt like they were about to fall apart.

Qi Yu also deduced Su Chengying's strength from the side; he was a worthless rich businessman.

He can't even beat someone of the first rank, and he beats them so easily. Is he just an ordinary rich businessman?

At first, I thought I was in a top position and could get back at them, but it turns out I was overthinking it.

After being thoroughly humiliated by Su Chengying, Qi Yu's recently inflated confidence immediately vanished.

In the outside world, there are still many people who can defeat you.

He got a little arrogant after becoming a first-class member. He should be more cautious!

After being tortured all night, Qi Yu had no time to rest because he had to go to class the next day.

After a simple meal, they returned to Jiangzhou City with Su Yue.

His purpose in coming was to take Qi Ran away, but it was clear that Qi Ran was unwilling to go with him.

After Qi Yu left, Su Chengying remembered Qi Yu's instructions and then ordered the servants to prepare a carriage.

Qi Yu asked him to look after Qi Ran, which was just a small favor, so Su Chengying readily agreed.

He's going to go and see this boy named Qi Ran!

……

In winter, it usually gets dark early. By the time Qi Yu and Su Yue returned to the courtyard, it was already completely dark.

Qi Yu hadn't slept all night, and after driving the carriage all day, he was exhausted.
