My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

But the consequences were something his Great Ding Dynasty could not afford.

And most importantly, the attitude of the person on the first floor towards Qi Yu seems to be somewhat different.

Because the First Tower didn't send out a single assassin of Heaven-level or higher, the people who came were just low-level assassins who had been misled by the bounty and were simply there to die.

Chapter 176 Honesty and Forgiveness

At the envoy's post station, Qi Yu leaned against the headboard, looking at the stunningly beautiful woman lying face down, his thoughts somewhat complicated.

Although I still find it hard to believe, it is the truth.

Su Yue has been lying to herself all along!

Su Yue's eyes were closed, seemingly asleep, but her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, proving that she was actually awake.

However, she didn't know how to face Qi Yu, so she could only pretend to be asleep.

Qi Yu looked at Su Yue's exquisite and beautiful face, tilting his head to look left and right, trying to find a trace of familiarity from the past.

But looking at it, apart from being pretty, it didn't feel familiar at all.

It was raining outside. Qi Yu pulled the blanket over Su Yue and then sighed.

He wants to smoke a cigarette now, even though he doesn't smoke, he still wants to release the frustration in his heart.

Qi Yu turned over, sat on the edge of the bed, and prepared to get out of bed.

But then there was a rustling sound behind him, and a pair of jade-like arms wrapped around his armpits and embraced his waist. He felt two soft, warm touches on his back, and Qi Yu's breath hitched slightly. Then a cool cheek pressed against his back.

"Husband, are you blaming me?"

Su Yue's calm voice came from behind. Qi Yu patted Su Yue's hand, signaling her to loosen her grip a little.

But Su Yue was afraid that if she loosened her grip even slightly, Qi Yu would leave her, so instead of loosening her grip, she hugged him even tighter.

Qi Yu could feel the sensation through Su Yue's back skin and imagine her deformed, full figure, which stirred a restless feeling within him.

“My wife, I don’t blame you. I just suddenly learned that my wife is actually the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult, which left me somewhat at a loss.”

"But after I calmed down, I thought about all the little things we had shared. Although we look different, it was still you. The time we spent together was real and undeniable."

"Then what do you plan to do, my husband? Divorce me? Or... kill me!" Su Yue's weak and hesitant voice came, and Qi Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart.

She was the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult, a demon who had taken the lives of many, and her name struck fear into the hearts of countless people.

Qi Yu reached out and hugged the jade-like hand on his waist, his voice soft yet very firm.

"Your identity doesn't matter. All I need to know is that you are my wife, the person I would give anything to protect."

That was his answer to Su Yue. He didn't care about Su Yue's status; all he wanted was Su Yue herself.

Su Yue hugged him tighter, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and whispered, "You really don't blame me?"

Qi Yu patted Su Yue's hand, and after Su Yue loosened her grip a little, he turned around and hugged Su Yue's smooth, jade-like back, pulling her into his arms.

"I really don't blame you, my wife!" Qi Yu smiled, his lecherous hand moving slightly downwards to embrace Su Yue's slender waist, lifting her up and placing her astride his lap.

"But you've kept this from me for so long, you have to make it up to me!"

Su Yue raised her head and met Qi Yu's gaze. Two blushes gradually rose on her beautiful face, making her shy and timid. For a moment, she was charming and beautiful beyond compare. There was no other woman in the world with such captivating charm.

"Husband, could we perhaps offer another form of compensation?" Su Yue asked shyly, avoiding Qi Yu's gaze.

Qi Yu did not answer immediately, but looked at her stunningly beautiful face. She was so beautiful that even the phrase "beauty that could topple kingdoms" was insufficient to describe her.

Although it was beautiful, it was also very unfamiliar.

But when he saw the shy, evasive look in her eyes, Qi Yu felt a sense of familiarity and couldn't help but smile.

"no!"

Qi Yu uttered two words, raised his hand to pinch her pointed chin, turned her stunningly beautiful face, tilted his neck forward, and took her full red lips into his mouth.

Su Yue's eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her two small hands wrapped around Qi Yu's neck. Her breathing became heavier and heavier, and her face became redder and redder.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yu released Su Yue and then kissed her slender, fair neck, moving downwards.

Su Yue's face was flushed, her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, her head was tilted back slightly, and her sweet and soft voice floated out from her small mouth, intermittently. She was like seaweed swaying in the waves.

A faint, delicate yet deeply enchanting sound echoed intermittently in the room. Outside the window, a torrential downpour continued, with raindrops sliding down the eaves from early morning until the afternoon.

……

The rain stopped, and Su Yue was already limp in Qi Yu's arms. At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked innocent yet charming.

Qi Yu stared at Su Yue's exquisite and beautiful face, which gradually overlapped with Su Yue's disguised face from before.

Su Yue used to be very ordinary; she wasn't particularly pretty or ugly, just average.

But at this moment, Su Yue's face was beautiful without being seductive, alluring without being vulgar, like a lotus emerging from the water, giving off an unreal feeling.

No matter how unreal it may seem, it is undeniably right in front of you at this moment.

Su Yue's gaze was still somewhat unfocused, and there were still some lingering blushes on her cheeks and neck.

Gradually, Su Yue recovered, feeling as if all her bones had fallen apart, and she was extremely sore and weak.

Her eyes darted around, looking at Qi Yu with a resentful expression. Her husband was clearly taking revenge on her! All sorts of strange and unusual knowledge—she wondered where he had learned it from.

"What time is it?" Su Yue asked weakly.

Qi Yu held Su Yue's slender waist, unwilling to let go for even a moment, and smiled, "It's just past noon, my wife, you can sleep a little longer!"

Just past noon?!

Su Yue was stunned. Her cherry-like lips parted slightly, and then she spoke with a slightly tearful voice, looking at Qi Yu with shame and anger.

"Are you... are you an animal? Don't you get tired?!"

She's been tormented by her husband for almost a whole day and night. Doesn't he ever get tired?

Qi Yu smiled and said softly, "No! I feel great, I can come again!"

Upon hearing Qi Yu's words, a hint of fear flashed in Su Yue's eyes. She hurriedly struggled out of Qi Yu's arms, then pulled the sheet over herself and wrapped herself up tightly, like a rice dumpling.

"Don't even think about it! I... I don't want to come again!" Su Yue's muffled voice came from under the covers.

Qi Yu smiled, then got out of bed, picked up his clothes, and put them on.

Looking at Su Yue's purple dress, Qi Yu recalled the beautiful figure he had seen in the capital city and the sudden assassination attempt on Li Ming.

He turned around and looked at Su Yue, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, with a complicated expression.

He had always believed that he was the one protecting Su Yue.

But the truth is the opposite; it was Su Yue who was protecting herself!

Now it seems I really was being kept!

This feeling of being protected and living off someone... it's pretty good!

Being a kept man is quite appealing!

"Miss!"

Qi Yu climbed back onto the bed and then called out softly.

Su Yue timidly poked her head out of the cup, looking at Qi Yu warily.

"what?"

Qi Yu found the scene quite adorable; Su Yue looked like a little white rabbit, shy yet slightly flustered.

Qi Yu bent down and kissed Su Yue on the forehead, then said softly, "My wife, thank you!"

It turns out that Su Yue has always been the one who has sacrificed the most for this family.

He's like a child who never grows up, willful, arrogant, and selfish!

It was Su Yue who always tolerated, accommodated, and protected her.

Although I have a thousand words to say, when it comes to it, all I can say is thank you.

I have given you a plum, and you repay me with a peach; this kindness can only be repaid with my entire life.

Chapter 178 Birthday and Gifts

As night fell, Qi Yu took Su Yue's hand and led her to the main street of Jinshui City.

Su Yue had already disguised herself. At this moment, she had returned to her former appearance. Although she was ordinary and unremarkable, she was indeed very reassuring.

He led Su Yue to a noodle shop and they sat down next to each other.

Qi Yu had been staying in his room all day, and since he was already in Jinshui City, he figured he might as well do some sightseeing.

Su Yue ate her noodles in small bites, then suddenly noticed that Qi Yu was staring at her, and she hadn't touched the noodles in front of her, which surprised her.

"Husband, aren't you going to eat?"

Even livestock need to eat!

Qi Yu shook his head and laughed, "Eating too much makes me nauseous!"

Qi Yu really didn't have much of an appetite right now, and he always felt lightheaded.

Upon hearing this, Su Yue couldn't help but think of the medicine Lin Ruoxi had given Qi Yu, and she frowned with worry.

She didn't know what kind of medicine it was, and her husband didn't show any particular signs of poisoning; he seemed perfectly normal.

"Husband, what's going on between you and Sister Ruoxi... Lin Ruoxi?" Su Yue asked.

I always felt that there was something unclear between my husband and Lin Ruoxi. Until last night, Lin Ruoxi could have fed me the medicine by hand, but she insisted on feeding me the medicine by kissing me. This felt like adding insult to injury.

If it was to affect her own mind, Lin Ruoxi had no reason to run away.

With Lin Ruoxi's strength, she is fully capable of fighting him.

“My lady, I first met Lin Ruoxi at my parents’ home. I played a game of chess with her and won by a small margin. At the same time, I realized the depth of this woman’s cunning, so I have always kept my distance from her.”

"However, Lin Ruoxi doesn't seem to intend to let me off easily; she seems to have a strong interest in me."
