My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Qi Wen's crying gradually subsided, but Qi Ji's crying grew louder and louder.

Qi Yu was at his wits' end; he simply couldn't manage to coax two children!

Fortunately, Xu Shuqin, who was in the side room, also heard the crying and rushed over, picked up Qi Ji, and gently rocked him.

The two children gradually stopped crying and fell asleep. Qi Yu gently put the children back in the cradle and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where's Yue'er? Where did she go?"

Xu Shuqin held the sleeping Qi Wen, but instead of putting her back in the cradle, she turned to look at Qi Yu.

Qi Yu shook his head, his brows furrowing as well.

Under normal circumstances, Su Yue would not leave her child behind to go out alone.

So what exactly happened?

Moreover, it seems that his cheap father-in-law, Su Chengying, is not here either!

Since Su Yue wasn't there, Qi Yu stayed in the inner room to keep watch over the child and prevent the child from being snatched away like last time.

It wasn't until late at night, when a flickering firelight appeared in the inner room, that Su Yue's figure finally came into view.

Qi Yu, who had been resting with his eyes closed on the bed, opened them and looked at Su Yue.

But what he saw startled Qi Yu, who quickly got out of bed and went to Su Yue's side, who was pale-faced.

"Wife, where have you been? How did you get into this state?" Qi Yu asked anxiously.

Su Yue shook her head gently and said, "It's nothing. The Beast God took action, so I went to handle it!"

A beast god?!

Qi Yu keenly caught the meaning of those two words and asked in confusion, "Beast God?"

Su Yue turned her head in confusion and asked in surprise, "Husband, you don't know about the Beast God? Isn't it recorded in Taoist scriptures?"

Qi Yu shook his head and said, "Indeed, there isn't any!"

Su Yue frowned. Some of the larger ones, and those with some history, should have records of the Beast God!

Other forces might not know, but Taoism absolutely could not possibly not know, let alone its leader.

Because the Beast God has some connection with Taoism, it's impossible that Taoism wouldn't have recorded it.

Others might not know, but Qi Yu couldn't possibly not know!

But judging from Qi Yu's eyes, Su Yue was certain that Qi Yu really didn't know.

“The Beast God is one of the Corpse God incarnations of the seventh leader. One of them was suppressed in the Heavenly Dao Sword, and the other merged with a demon beast to become the Beast God,” Su Yue said.

Qi Yu remembered—the leader of the Corpse-Slaying Cult.

The records only state that after he severed the corpse, the corpse god rebelled, but they do not say that there were two corpses.

It was only after being besieged and sealed away by several forces, including Taoism, Confucianism, and Mohism.

But it didn't say there were two bodies!

Another one fused with a demonic beast? And became this...beast god?

"Did it also start the beast tide?"

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Healing Wounds

"Did it also start the beast tide?"

Su Yue nodded and said, "That's it!"

"Why?" Qi Yu asked in surprise.

"Because it needs negative energy from humans, and war is the easiest way to collect negative energy!" Su Yue said.

Qi Yu didn't know what to say. The Corpse God feeds on the negative energy of humans and even uses it as a resource for advancement.

If it unleashes a beast tide, plunging all of humanity across the continent into panic, wouldn't it be able to feast on its bounty?

No wonder Lin Ruoxi has become so incredibly powerful in just a few days; this Corpse God is truly terrifying.

Stopping thinking about these things, Qi Yu helped Su Yue to sit down on the bedside, then got up and went to the kitchen to fetch a basin of hot water and a first-aid kit.

"Take off your clothes and lie down!"

Qi Yu could tell that Su Yue was injured in the back, and quite badly at that.

Su Yue is very strong in combat, but her physique is weaker than that of an average grandmaster. Once injured, she is difficult to heal.

Hearing Qi Yu's words, Su Yue raised an eyebrow. If anyone else had said those words to her, they would probably have turned to ashes by now.

But it was Qi Yu who said those words. Her husband and child were already born, so what was there to hide?

With her delicate, slender fingers, she pinched the belt and gently pulled, causing the dress to immediately become loose and baggy.

Su Yue grabbed the front of her dress, enduring the excruciating pain, and pulled it up, causing the dress to slip off her fair and delicate shoulders.

One by one, her clothes were taken off, until Su Yue was left wearing only a purple bodice and underpants, her hair pulled up to her chest, exposing her back, and she lay obediently on the bed.

Qi Yu moved a stool over, placed a basin of hot water on it, wet it slightly, and then sat down by the bed. He frowned as he looked at the three thin, long wounds on Su Yue's back.

This is a scratch, the longest one is fifteen centimeters long, the skin and flesh are rolled up, but it has stopped bleeding, but the edges of the wound are red and swollen.

If not treated properly, it will definitely become inflamed.

"My wife, please bear with it!" Qi Yu said softly.

Su Yue gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything more.

Qi Yu gently wiped the bloodstains from the edges of the wound with a hot towel. After wiping it almost clean, Qi Yu stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the wound.

The pain from the touch on her wound made Su Yue turn her head to look at her back. When she saw Qi Yu place his hand on her wound, she raised an eyebrow.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

Qi Yu sighed helplessly, "What else can I do? Treat your injuries! Can't you take care of yourself? Do you know how much it hurts me to see you like this?"

Su Yue smiled slightly and said, "I'm the one who's injured, why are you in pain?"

Qi Yu rolled her eyes at Su Yue and said, "I feel sorry for her!"

Su Yue shook her head and chuckled, "It's just a minor injury, it doesn't hurt much!"

Qi Yu rolled his eyes, but his right hand increased the force. Su Yue raised an eyebrow, but didn't utter a sound.

Qi Yu released his domain, but the range was not very large, limited only to Su Yue and himself.

The Confucian talent possesses the power to alter the rules, which, combined with the realm of the near-sage, can change all the rules within that realm.

Take time rules, for example!

Qi Yu couldn't turn back time, but he could accelerate the healing of Su Yue's wounds.

The self-healing process is the process by which the body's cells divide and repair themselves; Qi Yu merely accelerated the division of those cells.

Su Yue felt an itch on her back, and the wound didn't seem to hurt as much anymore.

While healing Su Yue, Qi Yu also used his own true energy to help Su Yue deal with the demonic energy remaining on the wound, as well as that trace of black energy that made him feel fear and disgust.

This black energy comes from the Corpse God and is the purest form of malevolent energy; it is the embodiment of all negative human emotions.

This energy is like a maggot clinging to a bone; it is very difficult to remove and can only be resisted by righteous energy.

Qi Yu remained expressionless as he treated Su Yue's injuries, but in his heart, he had already sentenced that beast god to death.

Su Yue didn't tell me before going to fight the Beast God alone, her purpose being to prevent me from participating in the battle.

The Beast God is a genuine Quasi-Saint Beast, capable of transforming into human form, and is not even in the same league as those Beasts that cannot.

If Qi Yu participates in the war, he will inevitably have to use the power of a sub-sage, which will undoubtedly shorten Qi Yu's lifespan and accelerate his aging.

So Su Yue didn't tell Qi Yu, or even Xu Shuqin, before going with her father.

Qi Yu looked at the wound on Su Yue's back and felt terrible. He didn't want it to be like this.

Why didn't Qin Xiu tell me that the Beast God was attacking?

Or perhaps Su Yue is behind it all; she knows how Qin Xiu and I are in contact.

"My wife, it seems like the two of us have offended most of the major powers on the continent!" Qi Yu said while treating the patients.

Su Yue slightly lifted her eyelids and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, just kill them all. Once I have time, I'll make them disappear."

The righteous path wants to kill them both, as do the demon beasts, most dynasties, and even the people of the Endless Sea.

It's fair to say they're enemies of the entire world!

Qi Yu's actions in promoting Taoism threatened their interests, and Su Yue's absurdly powerful nature instilled fear in them.

"My lady, with your strength, you can sweep them away. So what are you waiting for?" Qi Yu asked curiously.

With Su Yue's strength, she could have easily wiped them out, but Su Yue was plotting something and did not make a move.

“I could charge in and kill them all, but that would inevitably cause turmoil. So they can’t be wiped out until I have control of the situation,” Su Yue said.

Qi Yu nodded, understanding Su Yue's thoughts.

Those sects and monasteries have many smaller territories, fields, and properties under their jurisdiction, naturally attracting many tenant farmers.

While the leading force can be eliminated, its subordinate forces will inevitably fight each other over resources, leading to even greater chaos.

"My lady, do you want to be the emperor?" Qi Yu asked.

Su Yue turned and glanced at Qi Yu, saying, "I'm not interested. I just want to create a world of my own. I don't like the world I have now."

Qi Yu asked with curiosity, "So, what kind of world do you want to create, my wife?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Yue replied, "At least you won't get hurt anymore, and our child can live a happy and carefree life. No one will dare to lay a hand on you again."

Qi Yu felt a warmth in his heart and smiled happily.

He and Su Yue wanted to do essentially the same thing.

He also wanted to create a world where no one would dare to harm his family and friends, and where they could live in peace and happiness.

Therefore, those righteous forces must be destroyed!
