My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

The sky had been clear and blue just moments before, but a muffled clap of thunder suddenly came from afar, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

The sky was dark and gloomy, and there were occasional rumbles of thunder.

The sun in the sky was also tightly covered by thick rain clouds, and the world immediately darkened, with strong winds beginning to blow.

Upon seeing this, the shop owner hurriedly began packing up his things, preparing to close up shop.

Qi Yu, carrying a fish basket, looked at Su Yue, who was also looking at her.

Rumble~

Splash splash splash splash...

After a rumble of thunder, a torrential downpour began, and Qi Yu was immediately soaked to the bone.

Just as Qi Yu was about to find a place to shelter from the rain, a fragrant aroma wafted over, followed by an umbrella that blocked the raindrops hitting him.

Qi Yu's mouth gaped open as he looked at Su Yue beside him in astonishment.

"If Young Master Qi doesn't mind, let's take shelter from the rain together!" Su Yue said with a light laugh.

Qi Yu snapped out of his daze, quickly bowed, and said, "Then thank you very much, Miss Su!"

Su Yue shook her head and then handed the umbrella to Qi Yu.

Qi Yu is taller than her, so it will be difficult for her to hold the umbrella.

Qi Yu took the umbrella from Su Yue's hand, his fingers involuntarily touching Su Yue's hand.

The soft touch made Qi Yu's heart skip a beat.

The moment Su Yue was touched by Qi Yu, her body stiffened slightly, and she involuntarily raised her head to look at Qi Yu.

Qi Yu was also looking at her. The two looked at each other, each holding an umbrella handle.

But Su Yue quickly realized what was happening, lowered her head, and hurriedly let go of the umbrella handle, handing the umbrella to Qi Yu.

Chapter Thirteen: Life or Death

It was pouring rain outside, but Qi Yu was holding an umbrella and walking in the rain with a girl.

At this moment, Qi Yu felt a feeling that was hard to describe!

The umbrella wasn't big; the two of them were less than a fist's width apart on their shoulders. Su Yue's delicate fragrance lingered in the air, making it hard for Qi Yu not to be distracted.

Before he time-traveled, he was an old bachelor. He never thought about finding a girlfriend in college, and after graduation, he was busy with work and family matters, keeping him extremely busy.

Moreover, his work environment was not suitable for dating, so he remained single.

Therefore, Qi Yu had absolutely no experience in how to be alone with a girl.

Compared to Qi Yu, Su Yue was much calmer and did not become distracted by Qi Yu's presence.

However, she found it quite amusing to see Qi Yu's stiff and expressionless face.

After spending a few days together, she found that Qi Yu was actually quite nice.

He is self-reliant and refuses handouts. Although he is a bit sarcastic, he is very principled.

Even though he was penniless, he still faced tomorrow with a smile because he was content with what he had.

It's easy to get along with Qi Yu, unlike dealing with the people in the Blood God Cult.

"Young Master Qi, haven't you ever thought about going out and making your own way in the world?" Su Yue asked.

If possible, she wanted to bring Qi Yu into the Blood God Cult.

Qi Yu blinked, then asked in surprise, "What do you mean by 'going out and exploring'?"

Su Yue smiled and said, "Let's leave the Tianyun Dynasty and see this vast world."

Qi Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Forget it. I haven't even explored all of Lantian County, let alone going anywhere else."

“The outside world is wonderful, why should you be so fixated on this one place?” Su Yue said.

Qi Yu laughed and said, "If I had that strength, I would also like to go out and see the world, but with my weak body, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to leave the Great Yun Dynasty."

My body is really weak. When I first came here, I would be out of breath even after running 100 meters. Although I have been exercising regularly over the past year, it is still not enough.

Moreover, this world is full of bandits and thieves; going out would be tantamount to courting death.

Su Yue smiled and said nothing more, after all, everyone has their own ambitions.

……

It took almost an hour to get from Qingxin Lake to Jiangting Village, but Qi Yu didn't feel it was a long time; in fact, it felt rather short.

With Su Yue by my side, having another person with me and occasionally chatting with her is a very nice feeling.

When they returned to the courtyard, the three pufferfish had already died, so Qi Yu had to dispose of them before they were too long dead.

Qi Yu is an expert at handling pufferfish; he received special training beforehand.

As the pufferfish was being stewed, Qi Yu took the opportunity to leave the kitchen and saw Su Yue under the eaves.

It was still drizzling, raindrops sliding down the eaves. Su Yue looked up at the sky, expressionless, neither happy nor sad, like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs.

A heartbeat can happen in a single moment, perhaps in a fleeting encounter, or perhaps in a glance at you amidst a sea of ​​people.

Qi Yu admitted that he was smitten!

Su Yue is very ordinary-looking, not even as pretty as Cheng Xin. Her face would stand out in a crowd.

But at this moment, this woman gazing up at the sky blends perfectly with the scenery, as if surrounded by a holy light, sacred and inviolable.

Su Yue had noticed Qi Yu a while ago, but he just stared at her blankly, which made her both puzzled and a little annoyed.

What are you looking at?

Qi Yu snapped out of his daze, a smile spreading across his face, and said, "I was just admiring a beautiful woman! I couldn't help but be mesmerized!"

Qi Yu's words were somewhat frivolous, even flippant. If it were any other person in the past who had said those words, they would have been dead long ago.

But when Qi Yu said that, Su Yue's lips curled up slightly, and she turned around to look directly at Qi Yu.

"Young master, do you know that what you said is very false?"

Qi Yu replied, "These are words from the bottom of my heart; how could they be false?"

Su Yue sneered, too lazy to answer, and turned her head away, showing through her actions that she did not believe Qi Yu's words at all.

Qi Yu didn't say anything, just looked at Su Yue.

Marrying a wife like that would be quite an experience!

However, they were never from the same world!

……

Meanwhile, a group of people arrived in Jiangzhou City, led by an elderly man with white hair who needed assistance to walk.

However, the young people around him were very respectful to the old man.

The group of seven stayed at an inn in Jiangzhou City.

Strangely enough, the seven people only wanted one room.

"Have you found her yet?" The old man asked casually, his eyes closed contentedly as he soaked his feet in hot water.

"Master, we've found it! It's in a small mountain village seven miles to the south!"

The old man opened his eyes, and a rich light shone in his withered yellow eyes, making him seem as if he had become twenty years younger in that instant.

"Dongfang Wuying is already difficult to deal with; we absolutely cannot allow his daughter to become a saintess!"

"Understood!" the other six replied respectfully.

They all came from the Blood God Cult and were among its founding members.

Su Chengying appeared out of nowhere twenty years ago and became the leader of the Blood God Sect.

However, because he was a grandmaster, and because the previous leader Xu Yangyu suppressed him, they dared not speak out and could only obey.

However, over the years, the Blood God Cult has grown increasingly powerful, and the conflict between Su Chengying and them has become increasingly apparent.

Su Chengying was a righteous person at heart. Others might not know about Su Chengying's relationship with that Taoist leader, but he knew it very well.

Therefore, he had always secretly disliked Su Chengying, and the elders, led by him and two other elders, had always been at odds with Su Chengying.

Su Chengying is very strong, he admits, but Su Yue is different.

Although Su Yue is talented, having already reached the first rank at the age of eighteen, and even now being half a step into the Grandmaster realm, she is ultimately not a Grandmaster.

Although he was not a grandmaster, with his last bit of life force, he could unleash his potential once more and temporarily cross the threshold of becoming a grandmaster.

The power of a Grandmaster is more than enough to kill Su Yue!

As for Su Chengying, he can't come over for the time being. His whereabouts have already been discovered by the people of Ziqi Pavilion, and now the Grand Elder of Ziqi Pavilion, Zhou Zhiyong, is leading his disciples to intercept and kill him.

Even if they can't kill Su Chengying, they can at least hold him off for a while.

And this period of time was enough for him to kill Su Yue!

They could barely handle Su Chengying, a Grandmaster, based on their seniority. But if Su Yue were to join them, the Blood God Sect would be completely controlled by the Su family.

Therefore, Su Yue must die here!

"We'll act tonight and make sure we kill Dongfang Mengyue!" the old man said.

The other six nodded, their eyes filled with resolute killing intent.

The six of them, along with a half-step Grandmaster and an old man who could briefly unleash the power of a Grandmaster, were enough to kill a half-step Grandmaster.

No matter what, Dongfang Mengyue must die!

Because either she dies, or all seven of them die!

Chapter Fourteen: A Tangle of Love and Deception

Later that evening, a torrential downpour began. Qi Yu sat under the eaves, watching the rain stream down the roof.
