My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Persuade...hmm~that works!

Qi Yu straightened his clothes, then picked up a bag of rice and half a bag of salt, and pushed open the gate to the courtyard.

Su Yue already knew that Qi Yu had returned. At first, she was happy and even stood up, but when she thought about what Qi Yu had done, she became furious.

We must never forgive him easily!

no way!

So she sat down again, her face stern, staring indifferently at the entrance to the courtyard.

As soon as Qi Yu entered the room, he saw Su Yue's cold and expressionless pretty face, and her indifferent gaze that seemed to freeze people.

At this moment, Qi Yu felt cold all over his body and his heart was ice-cold.

Qi Yu coughed lightly, adjusted his facial expression, and said softly, "My wife, I'm back!"

In the past, Su Yue would have greeted her with a smile and asked her gently what she wanted to eat so she could cook.

But right now, Su Yue was staring at him with a blank face and no expression.

Qi Yu scratched his chin sullenly, then went into the living room, put the rice and salt in the kitchen, and then sat down opposite Su Yue.

"My dear wife, please don't be angry, okay? I know I was wrong!"

Qi Yu's tone and expression were very sincere, but Su Yue remained unmoved.

It wasn't until Qi Yu's groping hand gently grasped her fair hand that Su Yue lowered her eyelids, glanced at the groping hand, and then pulled her hand back.

"Don't touch me yet. You say you're wrong, then tell me, what did you do wrong?" Su Yue said calmly and indifferently, without any joy or sorrow.

Qi Yu withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and said, "I shouldn't have selfishly sent you back to your parents' home without your consent, without considering your feelings!"

"That's it? That's all?" Su Yue glanced sideways and asked indifferently.

"Is there anything else?" Qi Yu looked up, blinked, and asked in confusion.

It seems like this is the only thing?

Is there anything else?

Su Yue stood up, walked into the inner room, and soon came out carrying a quilt, which she then handed to Qi Yu.

"Come back to sleep when you figure out what you did wrong. Those rats and cockroaches in the woodshed probably miss you too!"

Chapter 156 Admitting Mistakes

The New Year is just around the corner, but because of what happened in Jiangzhou City, this year's New Year may not be so easy.

Qi Yu also stopped teaching classes and gave students and teachers a winter vacation according to the holiday schedule of his previous life.

Qin Xiyao and Lin Ruoxi's home is in the capital, but it's clear they can't go back.

Not to mention the snowstorm and the difficult roads.

The journey of just three thousand kilometers would take a horse-drawn carriage half a month, even if the roads were clear.

It was unrealistic for them to go back, so they all stayed and spent the New Year in Jiangzhou City.

Qi Yu was surprised but helpless. Li Muchen had forced the two of them in, so there was nothing she could do about it.

As for the other four teachers, two Confucian scholars rented an empty house from Uncle Liu in Jiangting Village and settled in.

The eccentric Mo family member lived in Yunyu Academy and served as its gatekeeper.

Qi Yu would occasionally go and replenish his food and clothing to prevent him from freezing or starving to death.

Although this person is troublesome, to be fair, the Mohist school's technology is excellent.

Qi Yu was amazed by their ingenuity in using mechanical devices.

Qi Yu had just returned from delivering supplies when he saw Su Yue fetching water in the yard, and an idea popped into Qi Yu's mind.

Aren't the Mohists known for their mechanical skills? It shouldn't be difficult for them to make a water pump, right?

Then connect some pipes and run them directly into your home, and you'll have running water.

This looks promising!

While Qi Yu was thinking about these things, he had already arrived at Su Yue's side, taken the rope from her hand, and lifted the bucket from the well.

The water weighed only about thirty pounds, which Qi Yu lifted with ease.

Su Yue didn't rush to do it, and just watched Qi Yu fetch water.

Qi Yu made one trip after another until the water tank in the kitchen was full. Only then did he unroll his sleeves and sit down in the living room with Su Yue, the Demon Blade Sect member.

Su Yue poured Qi Yu a glass of water, then picked up her needlework and started doing it, without saying a word to Qi Yu.

Qi Yu held his water glass, looking sullen.

Women can be so petty!

Qi Yu had been sleeping in the woodshed for almost ten days. Every night, he would try to push open the door to the inner room, but Su Yue had locked it and he couldn't open it at all.

This also shows that she was really angry, and the kind of anger that couldn't be appeased.

"My wife, I know I was wrong, I'll change, okay? Please forgive me, alright?" Qi Yu said with a sincere expression.

Su Yue didn't even lift her eyelids; she was busy sewing clothes with her embroidery needle.

Seeing Su Yue like this, Qi Yu didn't know how to comfort her.

Su Yue accepted the gifts given to her these past few days, but didn't reciprocate in any way.

"My wife, if you keep doing this, don't blame me if I do something outrageous!" Qi Yu said calmly, changing his tone.

If the soft approach doesn't work, try the hard one!

Su Yue paused in her movements and finally looked at Qi Yu, but her eyes were calm and indifferent, without joy or sorrow.

"Something out of line? For example?"

Qi Yu stroked his chin and said, "For example, I'll just stop eating and starve myself to death. I'll be heartbroken for you, and you'll regret it!"

Su Yue's cool expression immediately crumbled; the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she wanted to laugh, but she held it back.

"I wouldn't care at all, it would be best if you starved to death!"

Su Yue's face was calm and composed, but the curve of her lips clearly told Qi Yu that she was smiling.

Su Yue was just being arrogant; she was saying one thing but meaning another.

"Are you really that heartless? I'm your husband, after all. You should at least feel a little bit sorry for me!" Qi Yu said.

Su Yue narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, glancing sideways at Qi Yu, the smile on her lips gradually fading as she said, "Now you know you're my husband? Why didn't you think that way before?"

Su Yue got angry just thinking about it. Although she knew Qi Yu was worried about her safety, she was still very angry.

Is she so weak that she needs Qi Yu's protection?

No need!

Because she is not weak!

They had clearly agreed to face everything together, but Qi Yu sent her back to Tongyun City alone and shouldered everything by himself.

If I hadn't been worried and come back to check, would my husband be gone?

But this guy didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all, and continued to grin and joke, which is why Su Yue was angry.

She was angry that Qi Yu always shouldered everything alone, leaving himself battered and bruised.

In response to Su Yue's questioning, Qi Yu could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"Alright, I admit I was wrong, and I beg you to forgive me, my wife!"

"It's not impossible for me to forgive you, but you have to agree to one condition!" Su Yue raised her chin and said calmly.

Qi Yu's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly asked, "What are the conditions? Tell me!"

I'm not afraid of you setting conditions, I'm just afraid of you not saying anything at all!

Su Yue's expression gradually calmed down, and she said seriously, "If any danger occurs in the future, don't push me away. I'm not as weak as you think, husband. We can face anything together!"

"Even if we die, we will die together. I don't want to stay in a safe place alone and watch you face danger alone."

Qi Yu's playful expression gradually faded and then disappeared, replaced by calmness, which indicated seriousness.

After listening to Su Yue's words, Qi Yu also reflected on whether he had done something wrong.

It seems he's a bit chauvinistic!

Su Yue is not an object; she has her own feelings and thoughts. I shouldn't impose my own will on Su Yue.

I realize I've been incredibly selfish!

Even if it's about sending Su Yue away, you should discuss it with her instead of making the decision yourself.

However, after discussing it with her, the result was that Su Yue definitely wouldn't leave, because he would stay here.

So the final result was that both of them stayed behind and put themselves in danger together.

We either live together or we die together!

This is exactly what Su Yue wanted!

Qi Yu looked into Su Yue's eyes with a serious and earnest expression and said, "I'm sorry, my wife. I know I was wrong. From now on, no matter what difficulties we face, we will face them together."

Su Yue stared at Qi Yu for a long time before finally smiling.

"Okay, don't leave me behind next time! I'll forgive you this time!"

Qi Yu also laughed, and looking at Su Yue's face, his eyes were momentarily glazed over.

Lately, he has been finding it easy to mistake Su Yue's face for a completely different one.

But no matter what, it doesn't matter. I just like Su Yue as a person, and it has little to do with her appearance.

Even though Su Yue is ugly now, she still loves him.

Only Su Yue could give him a sense of security.

As long as she is there, I will no longer feel that this unfamiliar world is a foreign land, and I will no longer be a stranger.
