My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

The two embraced quietly, feeling each other's presence.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yu released Su Yue and then looked directly into her eyes.

Su Yue blinked, then slowly closed her eyes, which was considered tacit consent.

Qi Yu leaned down and kissed those alluring lips. The pudding-like touch instantly healed Qi Yu, making the hundreds of days and nights of suffering feel worthwhile.

The kiss lasted a very long time, until Su Yue's cheeks turned slightly red from lack of oxygen, and Qi Yu reluctantly parted ways.

Su Yue breathed softly, opened her eyes, and looked at Qi Yu who was so close to her. Her hand involuntarily fell on Qi Yu's cheek, gently stroking the raised stubble.

"Husband, you should shave!" Su Yue said softly.

Qi Yu laughed and said, "You shave me!"

Su Yue didn't refuse. She smiled and said softly, "Okay! I'll shave you!"

……

Su Yue was almost nine months pregnant, and her belly was already quite large, but Qi Yu was somewhat surprised because it seemed a bit too big.

Moreover, Su Yue basically lay still and had very limited range of movement.

After Qi Yu went to the far north ice plains, Su Yue basically never left the Blood God Island area. She spent most of her time in the pavilion, occasionally visiting Xu Yangyu with Xu Shuqin.

Xu Shuqin personally took care of all three meals a day.

In the afternoon, Xu Shuqin brought over some fruit and then saw two people cuddling on the balcony.

She knew Qi Yu was coming in the morning, but when she saw him, she was still a little incredulous and stunned.

That long hair...

What happened to him?

------------

Chapter 47 Praise

"Yu'er, what happened to you? Why is your hair like this?" Xu Shuqin asked in confusion.

Qi Yu touched his head of pale silver hair and laughed, "I ate something, that's why I look like this!"

"What is it? Is it poisonous?" Xu Shuqin asked with concern.

Qi Yu shook his head and said, "Snow Dragon Marrow, it's not poisonous!"

The Snow Dragon is a powerful monster that lives in the far north ice plains. It can grow up to 100 meters long, and even Qi Yu is not as big as one of its scales.

This is Qi Yu's main food source during the months spent on the far north ice sheet.

The demonic beasts that can live in the far north ice plains are all extremely powerful. Once they reach adulthood, these demonic beasts have the strength of a Dao Integration Grandmaster, and their scales are impervious to blades and spears, making them very difficult to kill.

Xu Shuqin had heard of this kind of monster, but she had never heard of someone turning into this after eating Snow Dragon Marrow!

However, it was obvious that Qi Yu didn't want to say anything more, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Moreover, Qi Yu is not the only one with white hair.

"Is your poison gone?" Xu Shuqin asked.

Qi Yu went to the far north ice plains because of the poison of the datura flower.

Datura flower poison can cripple a person. When Qi Yu was poisoned before, she was worried and regretful for a long time, afraid that Qi Yu would be crippled.

"I can completely suppress the poison now. Although there are still some residues in my body, and I occasionally have the urge to absorb the datura flowers, it's fine now, I can control it," Qi Yu said with a smile.

He barely survived for six months. At the most frequent time, the poison flared up more than ten times a day, and he was also being chased by monsters. He really almost didn't make it back.

Hearing this, Xu Shuqin felt relieved. Looking at Qi Yu's rosy complexion and energetic appearance, he certainly didn't look like one of those useless people who had ingested datura flowers.

Qi Yu turned his head and asked, "Mother-in-law, where are Father-in-law?"

He's back, so naturally I have to go and pay him a visit.

Xu Shuqin glanced at the back mountain and said, "There!"

Judging from Xu Shuqin's tone, she seemed to have some other emotions, but Qi Yu didn't think much of it.

"My wife, you rest for a while. I'll go and let my father-in-law know I'm safe and sound, then I'll be right back!"

Su Yue nodded and said, "Go and come back soon. You can take this!"

After speaking, Su Yue picked up a purple token from the table and handed it to Qi Yu.

Qi Yu didn't think much of it. After taking the token, he turned around and walked down from the pavilion.

Xu Shuqin took the food out of the food box and placed it on the table. Su Yue also carefully sat down at the table and gently stroked her lower abdomen.

Looking at Su Yue's appearance, Xu Shuqin smiled helplessly and said, "Yue'er, you need to be careful these days. Remember to tell me if you feel unwell!"

Su Yue nodded, looked down at her round belly, and smiled.

My husband has returned as promised, and nothing could make me happier.

"By the way, Mother, where is Ouyang Ruoxue?" Su Yue asked.

Xu Shuqin's expression darkened upon hearing the name. In her eyes, Ouyang Ruoxue was a wicked woman who disrupted the harmony of her family.

Not to mention her own son, she protects him in every way. She was the one who poisoned Qi Yu back then. If it weren't for her, Qi Yu would never have gone to the far north snowfield alone, let alone suffered those hardships.

"She lives on West Peak, where she reads and practices meditation every day. Your brother goes to visit her occasionally!"

Ouyang Ruoxue is a troublesome person; the best way to deal with her is actually to kill her.

But Su Yun tried her best to protect her, and there was nothing she could do.

If you can't kill her, then let her go, or cripple her inner energy; it's the same thing.

However, Su Yun still disagreed, so Ouyang Ruoxue remained under house arrest on West Peak.

Su Yue had met with him a few times before, but she didn't say much.

Qi Yu's affair created a rift between her and Ouyang Ruoxue.

Regardless of whether it was Nan Yutian's order or not, it was ultimately Ouyang Ruoxue who hurt Qi Yu.

……

Qi Yu arrived at the back mountain and had no trouble along the way. Everyone who encountered him gave way.

The reason was the token given by Su Yue, which was the Saintess Token that Su Yue herself possessed.

Many members of the Blood God Cult looked at Qi Yu with suspicion and uncertainty, not understanding why the Holy Maiden's token would be on a man.

Moreover, he had never seen such a person in the church before!

Many people have seen Qi Yu, but not all of them have. Moreover, Qi Yu has been missing for half a year, and his temperament has changed slightly. Very few people can recognize him.

Qi Yu paid little attention to these Blood God Cult disciples and walked on his own until he arrived at the back mountain.

Upon entering the side hall of the Blood God Sect, Qi Yu saw Su Chengying, but both of them were stunned for a moment upon seeing him.

Su Chengying was surprised by Qi Yu's silver hair, and Qi Yu was just as surprised.

Because Su Chengying now also has a head of white hair, although his appearance hasn't changed much, he still looks like he's in his thirties.

After Su Chengying returned from his trip to Changsheng Temple, his hair turned white overnight, and he looked as if he had aged more than twenty years.

He no longer concern himself with the affairs of the Blood God Cult; his current position as leader is merely a nominal one.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Qi Yu regained his senses and bowed to Su Chengying.

Su Chengying nodded, then pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Come and sit down! Let's have a good chat!"

Qi Yu followed instructions and sat down next to Su Chengying, filling Su Chengying's cup with tea before doing so.

Su Chengying picked up the teacup, took a sip, then put it down and spoke calmly.

"It's good that you're back. Yue'er needs you, and the academy needs you too. You didn't disappoint your senior brother, nor did you disappoint me. You successfully overcame the incurable poison of the datura flower."

As he spoke, Su Chengying turned his head, a smile playing on his lips, and said with admiration, "You... are really quite good. Senior brother didn't misjudge you, and neither did I!"

Qi Yu opened his mouth slightly, blinked, and then scratched his cheek somewhat awkwardly.

This was the first time his father-in-law had ever praised him like this, and he felt a little awkward for a moment.

In the past, Su Chengying always had a stern face when facing him, rarely smiling. Even when he did smile, it was a cold laugh. And if Su Chengying ever smiled gently at him, he would definitely get a beating.

This is the first time I've ever praised myself like this!

Seeing Qi Yu's posture, Su Chengying shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Now that you're back, you should take on the responsibilities that are yours to bear."

Su Chengying's words were pointed. The responsibility he spoke of was not only that of a husband, responsible for Su Yue and the child in her womb, but also a reminder to Qi Yu of the responsibilities of a sect leader.

Qi Yu is now the head of the sect and the leader of Taoism.

Given the ambitions of the Dayun Dynasty, it will sooner or later extend the flames of war to the Daqing Dynasty, and also to the academy.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I already have a plan!"

At this moment, Qi Yu was extremely grateful that he had held back from Li Ming and had not given him the gunpowder formula. Otherwise, he would have been in a rather passive position.

As for those weapons, Qi Yu didn't care much; they were just the most basic ones.

Next, he's going to Yunyu Academy!

That Mo family member is in Yunyu Academy.

The academy needs this kind of talent, and only he can bring the weapons he designed to life.

The Mohist school's mechanical arts are world-renowned!

Chapter Forty-Eight: Ink Questions

In the Great Yun Dynasty, in Jiangzhou City, Lantian County, Qi Yu returned once again.

Jiangting Village is no longer a small village; it has been transformed into a small town, and Yunyu Academy has been expanded into a university comparable to Qingyun Academy.

But now, everything here is no longer relevant to me.

Qi Yu walked down the street, and no one noticed him. To others, he was just a wisp of air.
