My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Su Yue involuntarily stopped in her tracks, her eyes slightly red, but a smile remained on her lips.

It's been twenty-one days, and every single day of these twenty-one days, she's been thinking about Qi Yu.

They used to be inseparable, but she didn't realize it until they were separated for twenty-one days. She discovered that she couldn't live without Qi Yu anymore.

Every day with Qi Yu was joyful. Even if she did nothing but look at Qi Yu, she felt content.

She simply loved this unbridled scholar who was sometimes childish, yet at other times incredibly mature.

Qi Yu was fast asleep, leaning against a pillar. He seemed a little cold, so he rubbed his hands together to warm them and frowned.

Su Yue blinked, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

"Big brother, where's the cloak Grandpa gave you? Can I borrow it?"

What are you going to do with it?

"Don't ask, just tell me if you'll give it to me or not?"

"Inside the car!"

After a while, Su Yue returned, carrying a fluffy, soft, and warm cloak in her arms.

Approaching Qi Yu, Su Yue draped the cloak over him, then tenderly touched his cheek, her eyes slightly red.

At this moment, Qi Yu's face was covered in stubble, his hair was disheveled and loose, with a few strands playfully lying across his face, and his clothes were also a bit messy.

Is this how you've been spending your days, my husband?

Thinking about how Qi Yu had been in this state for the past twenty-odd days, not eating well or staying warm, Su Yue felt inexplicably sad and heartbroken.

Raising her hand, Su Yue tucked the stray strands of hair from Qi Yu's face behind his ear, then tenderly touched Qi Yu's cheek.

The stubble was a bit prickly, but Su Yue didn't seem to care much, looking at Qi Yu with pity.

Qi Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, her nose twitched, and the familiar scent wafted over again. Qi Yu's lips curled up slightly, and then, like a kitten, she gently touched her face with her soft, jade-like hand.

"My wife, you're back!"

Hearing Qi Yu's hoarse voice, tears streamed down Su Yue's face, but she still said softly, "I'm back!"

As she spoke, Su Yue sat down next to Qi Yu, then leaned against his chest and nestled in his arms.

Qi Yu smiled, reached out from under his cloak, and put his arm around Su Yue.

"Without you here for the past twenty-one days, I feel like I'm living in hell. Every time I come back to this home, I miss you for no reason. I don't want to do anything and I can't eat anything."

"Without you sleeping beside me, no matter how many clothes I wear or how many blankets I cover myself with, I still feel cold, so cold that I can't sleep all night."

"Without you, I can't concentrate on anything I do, because all I can think about is you, and my only thought is to see you."

"I never knew I was such a cowardly person. I was such a timid coward who was afraid of being alone!"

Su Yue nestled in Qi Yu's arms, listening to his words, tears streaming down her face.

Isn't she the same?

Before they knew it, they had become inseparable from each other.

Qi Yu tightened his grip on Su Yue's shoulders, rested his cheek against her hair, slowly closed his eyes, and spoke softly.

"My wife, next time you leave, you must take me with you. No matter if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire, or a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, I'll be with you. I don't want to be left here alone again!"

"I don't want to be alone anymore!"

Su Yue buried her face in Qi Yu's chest, not saying a word, only letting out a soft "hmm".

So the poem my husband recited was real!

What is love in this world that it can cause people to die for each other?

She was already heartbroken after being separated from her husband for only twenty-one days; how much more so would she be heartbroken if it were a separation of life and death?

Su Yue didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to her if Qi Yu were gone.

If that day really comes, I will definitely go with my husband, and I don't want to stay alone.

Every day without Qi Yu felt so long; I missed him so much that I couldn't eat or drink, and my heart was breaking.

"My love, I love you!"

Su Yue raised her head, her eyes red, and said softly.

Qi Yu's lips curved slightly, his eyes softened, and he said gently, "I love you even more!"

Before I knew it, another person had become a part of my life, and I could no longer let go of them.

Chapter 134 Collecting Debts

Su Yue is back, and the courtyard is no longer as lonely as it had been for the past twenty-odd days.

When Su Yue wasn't around, Qi Yu only lit an oil lamp, and most of the time, he sat under the eaves.

Because from that spot, he could see a main road, and if Su Yue returned, he would see her immediately from where he was sitting.

Compared to sitting in an empty, cold house, he preferred to sit under the eaves, wanting to see Su Yue for just one more second.

Su Yue brought in a bucket of hot water; Qi Yu was taking a bath.

Without much hesitation, Su Yue carried the hot water into the inner room next to the bedroom.

"Thank you for your trouble, my lady!" Qi Yu was washing his arms when he saw Su Yue come in and said with a gentle smile.

Su Yue smiled and shook her head, added hot water to the bathtub, put down the wooden tub, picked up the bath towel hanging on the edge of the tub, and began to scrub Qi Yu's shoulders.

Qi Yu cooperated and let Su Yue wash him.

Su Yue doesn't seem as resistant as she used to be now!

As he washed her, Qi Yu looked at Su Yue's serious expression, smiled wickedly, and reached out to grab Su Yue's fair hand.

"Wife, would you like to bathe together?"

Su Yue was taken aback, turned her head to look at Qi Yu, and seeing Qi Yu's wicked smile, how could she not know what her husband wanted to do? Her pretty face blushed, just like the sunset.

Su Yue turned her head away, not daring to meet Qi Yu's gaze.

Refuse!

Of course, they'd refuse!

But when she thought about how her husband had been all alone for over twenty days, her heart ached again.

"Just... just this once!" Su Yue said, her face flushed and her voice trembling.

Qi Yu was slightly taken aback. He was just saying it casually and didn't expect Su Yue to agree at all, because he had asked her many times before, but Su Yue had refused no matter what.

After a brief moment of bewilderment came ecstasy; life was becoming more and more hopeful (or perhaps hopeless).

"Wife, let me help you take off your clothes!"

Qi Yu was about to stand up when Su Yue quickly grabbed his shoulder, her face flushed red, looking stunningly beautiful.

"I...I'll do it myself!"

As she spoke, Su Yue turned her back to Qi Yu, her hands trembling as she placed them on her sash and slowly untied the knot.

As the belt loosened, the dress immediately became looser.

She reached out and grabbed the edge of the clothes, then gently pushed them back, causing the clothes to slip off her delicate body.

One by one, her clothes slipped off, until Su Yue was left with only a purple bodice and underpants!

Qi Yu's face was a little red, and his blood was rushing to his head. In addition, soaking in hot water made his blood flow faster.

Su Yue didn't take any more clothes off; this was already her bottom line. But even so, she was still too embarrassed to leave immediately.

Time passed slowly, and after three breaths, Su Yue slowly turned around and cautiously looked at Qi Yu.

Upon seeing this, Su Yue paused, blinked, and then burst out laughing, her earlier nervousness and shyness dissipating considerably.

Qi Yu was standing there with his mouth slightly open, looking dazed and his face flushed. He looked as silly as a roe deer.

With a slight shift in her eyes, Su Yue decided to tease Qi Yu. Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness as she said sweetly, "Husband, let me help you take a bath!"

Qi Yu nodded blankly, then wiped his nose.

I think I've been eating too much ginseng lately!

Wait, have I been eating ginseng?

Why did my willpower become so weak? I bled just because I saw Su Yue taking off her clothes?

But none of that matters anymore, because I can finally take a bath with Su Yue!

Life is getting better and better!

……

"Damn it! I'm going to complain! What kind of broken wooden bucket is this? It's so small and so fragile. It must have been shipped from Pinduoduo!"

Qi Yu was grumbling as he got dressed, while Su Yue, who was already dressed and still flushed, was helping Qi Yu get dressed.

Hearing Qi Yu's words, she rolled her eyes at him, looking utterly helpless.

Although she didn't know what 'Pinduoduo' was, she figured it must be a shop.

"The bathtub cracked because you used it too much, my husband!" Su Yue said reproachfully.

Qi Yu was speechless. Recalling what had just happened, it seemed that it was indeed true! He had definitely used too much force!

He had almost finished washing himself and wanted to bring Su Yue in to wash as well, but as soon as he picked her up and sat down in the wooden tub...

Then, with a 'clang,' the wooden barrel split open. Qi Yu, holding Su Yue in his arms, stared at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"I'm going to buy a bigger bathtub tomorrow, it has to be made of iron! Humph!" Qi Yu said angrily.

Su Yue could only roll her eyes helplessly, remain silent, and pick up the clothes to help Qi Yu get dressed.

But when Su Yue looked at the clothes Qi Yu was wearing, she noticed that many of them were torn, which made her feel sad again.

What will my husband do without me?

After getting dressed, Su Yue pulled Qi Yu to the bronze mirror, took out a razor from the drawer, and trimmed Qi Yu's hair.
