My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

With gritted teeth, Qi Yu put the bracelet back.

Qi Yu turned to Su Yue with a serious expression and said, "Miss Su, could you lend me ten taels of silver first?"

"What do you need ten taels of silver for?" Su Yue asked in surprise.

"Go to the brothel!" Qi Yu said.

Su Yue's face darkened. This guy even goes to brothels to borrow money from her. He's a complete lecher and a pervert.

"Get out! Get out of here right now, before I lose my temper!"

Qi Yu frowned. If you don't want to lend it, then don't. Is it necessary to get angry?

But there's no time to waste arguing with Su Yue now. If Su Yue won't lend it to him, then he'll have to pawn the jade bracelet.

I can redeem it when I have the money!

Qi Yu picked up the bracelet and stuffed it into his pocket. He walked straight past Su Yue and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard.

……

When Qi Yu returned to Jiangzhou City, he went to the pawnshop. The bracelet could only be pawned for five taels of silver. Combined with what he had saved before, he only had seven taels of silver left, and he still had ten taels of silver to raise.

If you sell the bracelet, you can get ten taels of silver; if you pawn it, you can only get five taels.

Qi Yu frowned, preparing to go back to Aunt Li's house to borrow some money.

But as he walked, Qi Yu felt his legs were sore and weak, so he found a large rock to sit on and rest for a while.

Rubbing his aching legs, Qi Yu was somewhat speechless. He must have run back and forth three times already.

Qi Yu sighed, stood up, and prepared to go back.

Suddenly, a silver note fell out of his sleeve. Qi Yu picked it up and saw that it was worth twenty taels.

Qi Yu blinked. Where did this silver note come from?

And it was twenty taels!

With these twenty taels, one would be considered a wealthy household in Jiangting Village.

After all, the villagers of Jiangting Village still earn about three or four strings of cash a month, which is about three or four hundred coins.

One tael of silver is worth eight strings of cash, so twenty taels would be worth one hundred and sixty strings of cash. It would take an ordinary villager forty months of not eating or drinking to earn that much.

Who's so arrogant?!

Jiangting Village is full of poor people, so it seems that only Su Yue, an outsider, is there.

Is this money hers?

I think I left a note as a joke at noon today, asking for ten taels of silver for a serving of fried rice. It was just a prank, but I didn't expect Su Yue to actually give it to me!

Anyway, having this money makes things much easier.

Qi Yu turned around and returned to Jiangzhou City, heading towards the brothels in the west of the city.

……

In the courtyard, Su Yue was already packing her things, preparing to leave.

Qi Yu is one of them. Qi Yu is a lecherous scoundrel. I originally had some good feelings towards him.

Because he saved him and did nothing to him, he slept in the woodshed for the night, and he thought he was a virtuous gentleman.

But this guy actually asked her for money to go to the brothel, which really disgusted her.

The twenty-tael silver note was indeed Qi Yu's; it was considered the cost of her fried rice with eggs for lunch, plus a fee for Qi Yu's hard work.

Twenty taels should be more than enough.

After tidying up her things, Su Yue blew out the oil lamp and left the room.

Her injuries hadn't healed, but if she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would be in danger. Now that she had lost all her inner energy, she wouldn't be able to resist if Qi Yu really wanted to do anything to her.

Staying here any longer is too dangerous!

Chapter Six Misunderstanding

Qi Yu was exhausted after a long day, and it wasn't until evening that he managed to redeem Er Niu from the brothel.

By the time Qi Yu carried Er Niu home, it was already late at night.

When Grandpa Liu saw Erniu return, he thanked Qi Yu profusely and even made Erniu and Tiezhu kneel down to thank him.

Qi Yu couldn't stand the scene, so after sending Er Niu back, he returned.

He's done all he could; the rest is up to fate.

When we got back to the courtyard, it was pitch black with no lights on.

Qi Yu sighed helplessly, turned around and walked back to the woodshed.

It's so late, the girl should be asleep by now.

……

Qi Yu slept soundly until dawn. He had a good sleep quality. He had been traveling back and forth yesterday, running at least 15 kilometers. He was exhausted.

When I wake up in the morning, my calves and thighs are sore, the kind that hurts when I touch them.

Qi Yu washed up, then looked at the tightly closed door and frowned.

What's wrong with Miss Su? Why is she up so late?

With a helpless pout, Qi Yu pushed open the hall door and looked into the inner room, where the door remained tightly shut.

Qi Yu hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door of the inner room and knocked.

"Miss Su, are you up?"

There was complete silence. After hesitating for a while, Qi Yu knocked again, but there was still no response.

Qi Yu thought for a moment, then pushed open the door.

creak!

The door was pushed open; it wasn't locked. Qi Yu was slightly taken aback for a moment, then went inside.

Li Ming was deserted; there was no one there. Su Yue was no longer there.

Qi Yu looked at the neat and tidy room, sighed helplessly, and left without saying a word.

He took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket, intending to return them to her, but it seems he doesn't need them anymore!

Why not make a few taels of silver for free?

Now that Su Yue is gone, the right to use this room has been regained.

Qi Yu opened the wardrobe, and inside were still his own clothes, although there were only three sets, and they had been washed until they were faded and worn.

In this world, clothes are mostly made by oneself. Qi Yu didn't learn much needlework, so he really doesn't know how to sew clothes.

The three sets inside, plus the one he was wearing, were all sewn for him by his mother and sister-in-law from his previous life; that was all there was.

Qi Yu was about to close the wardrobe when suddenly, he saw a splash of purple in the adjacent wardrobe compartment.

Purple fabric is very rare and expensive, and not something that ordinary people can afford, just like yellow fabric.

Purple cloth was even superior to yellow cloth, and only the extremely wealthy and powerful could use it.

Qi Yu curiously reached out and grabbed the piece of purple cloth, then pulled it out to see what it was.

Qi Yu was dumbfounded when he pulled it out, because it was clearly a bellyband!

This is a purple bellyband!

Qi Yu stared in astonishment, mouth agape, frozen in place.

But it was at this moment that Su Yue returned, walked into the inner room, and saw Qi Yu holding his undergarment in a daze, which surprised her slightly.

Qi Yu noticed Su Yue, then looked at the undergarment in his hand, his mind going blank.

After realizing what was happening, Qi Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can explain, it's not what Miss Su thinks!"

Su Yue's face was gloomy, but upon closer inspection, her ears were a little red, clearly indicating that she was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

Anyone would be angry if their personal clothing were being flaunted by a strange person of the opposite sex!

Kill him!

Murder to silence them!

That was what Su Yue thought, and that was what she planned to do. She slightly turned her hand at her side, preparing to redirect her inner energy and humanely destroy the lecher in front of her.

But her true energy had just begun to circulate, and now, because Qi Yu was holding her personal clothing, she was so angry that it aggravated her injuries. Her true energy flowed backward, and Su Yue coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

Qi Yu saw Su Yue fall down and rushed over to help her up.

But Su Yue had already fainted, so Qi Yu had no choice but to pick her up and put her on the bed.

……

When Su Yue woke up, it was already evening, and oil lamps were already lit in the room.

Su Yue struggled to sit up, then remembered what had happened during the day. Her breathing became slightly heavier, and she became angry again.

I had already left, but then I remembered that the clothes I had changed out of were still there, so I came back and saw that scene.

That bastard absolutely deserves to be killed!

Just as I was thinking of Qi Yu, he appeared, carrying in a bowl of lean meat porridge.

"Miss Su, you're awake? Have something to eat!"

Qi Yu placed the lean meat porridge on the bedside table, then stepped back a little, looking somewhat helpless.

It's just a bellyband, is it really necessary to get so angry that you vomit blood?

How innocent must this girl be!

Seeing that Su Yue turned her head away and didn't reply, Qi Yu sighed and explained, "Miss Su, would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding?"

Su Yue remained silent. If she could move, she would have already euthanized this guy.
