My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

"Where there's a will, there's a way; I don't believe there are no problems that can't be solved!"

Su Yue smiled at Qi Yu, her eyes full of tenderness. She liked Qi Yu just the way he was.

Always be cheerful and optimistic, and you will not become depressed.

"Husband, I'm returning to the Blood God Sect the day after tomorrow. I plan to take the child back to the south to take care of him. My parents are there too, so it will be more convenient!" Su Yue said.

A hint of reluctance flashed in Qi Yu's eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Alright, anyway, the Shrinking Earth Seal is with me. If I want to see you, it will only take an hour or two."

He has things to take care of and doesn't have time to look after the child. Su Yue will take him back to the south, where Su Chengying and his wife are. They should be able to help take care of him.

Su Yue also had her own things to do; the demonic beasts in the south were showing signs of making a comeback.

Moreover, this monster seems to have some connection with Xuanzong, and the fact that the Endless Sea was not attacked by the monster is the best proof of this.

I'd really like to meet that beast god; even Su Yue was injured, so its strength must be extraordinary.

Regardless of the circumstances, this beast god is going to be chopped into pieces!

"My lady, I have nothing else to do now, so I'll show you around Hanqiu City!" Qi Yu said with a smile.

Su Yue nodded and smiled sweetly, "Okay! I'll do whatever you say, my husband!"

She hadn't gone shopping with Qi Yu for a long time; since having the child, she had basically been taking care of her pregnancy.

"If only you were this obedient in bed, my wife!" Qi Yu sighed, somewhat regretfully.

Su Yue raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "Oh? So many demands? Do you want me to make you sleep in the woodshed before you'll behave?"

Qi Yu shrugged and said, "I don't care!"

Anyway, Qi Yu knew very well that Su Yue was just saying one thing and meaning another, so he wasn't really afraid.

Su Yue rolled her eyes, too lazy to say anything more to Qi Yu.

……

In the afternoon, Qi Yu and Su Yue walked side by side, leaving the child temporarily in the care of Xu Shuqin and Su Chengying.

Both of them were disguised, because being recognized would cause some trouble.

"Wife, if you have time in a while, come with me to pay respects to our parents!" Qi Yu asked as they walked.

Su Yue nodded and said, "Alright, now that we have Qi Ji and Qi Wen, we should inform our parents-in-law and pay our respects. Husband, just set a time and let me know!"

Since there is no Qingming Festival in this world, people usually worship their ancestors on their death anniversaries.

Qi Yu's parents died around the time of the Qingming Festival.

"My lady, Ouyang Ruoxue, what do you plan to do?" Qi Yu asked.

If he resolves his own problems, the first thing he will do is target the Purple Qi Pavilion, as Ouyang Ruoxue is the top disciple of the Purple Qi Pavilion.

If Ouyang Ruoxue were to interfere, Qi Yu would really find it difficult to bring himself to do it.

Her brother-in-law had become obsessed with her, and if she killed him, it would definitely anger Su Yun.

Moreover, she is also Su Yue's good friend, so it's really not a good idea to make a move against her.

"She'll be locked up on the west peak of Blood God Island until she dies!" Su Yue said calmly.

Qi Yu was speechless. Locking someone up to death was going too far.

However, if Su Yue said that, then Ouyang Ruoxue won't be able to come out for the time being, and there shouldn't be any problem for her to destroy the Purple Qi Pavilion.

As they walked, Qi Yu and Su Yue came to a pavilion and rested for a while.

Qi Yu and Su Yue sat together, Su Yue leaning on his shoulder, looking at the river, neither of them saying a word.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Yu finally spoke softly.

"Actually, this kind of life isn't bad!"

"I will create a world where everyone can live peacefully like this every day!" Su Yue said softly, her voice filled with determination and resolve.

Qi Yu smiled, lowered his head and gently kissed Su Yue's forehead, saying, "I'm really lucky to have met you. It's no wonder I did so many good deeds in my past life!"

You are my blessing!

Su Yue raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you still remember things from your past life?"

Qi Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "I remember, and I remember it very clearly!"

Su Yue clearly didn't believe her and asked, "Then tell me, what did you do in your past life?"

Qi Yu laughed and said, "In my past life, I was just a librarian. I like to read when I have nothing to do."

Su Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Husband, can you be any more ridiculous?"

Qi Yu shrugged. He was telling the truth, but Su Yue just didn't believe him.

In his previous life, he was indeed a librarian, whose daily routine consisted of registering books and reading them.

"My wife, what would you do if one day you discovered that I am not actually myself?" Qi Yu asked.

He and Qi Yu are ultimately different. He never felt that he belonged to this world, so he could view the world indifferently.

Su Yue didn't quite understand Qi Yu's question, so she asked:

"I don't quite understand what you mean, my husband. What do you mean by 'you are not you'?"

Qi Yu smiled, but didn't say anything more.

He seemed to have a premonition that he could go back, but he didn't know when.

And over there, my parents are still there.

Chapter Eighty-Six: A Warning

After spending the day with Su Yue, Qi Yu returned in the evening.

Su Yue did not return to the academy with Qi Yu, but went to the palace instead.

Su Yue didn't say what she was going to do, and Qi Yu didn't ask any further questions. Anyway, this was the Great Qing Dynasty, and as long as Ji Ling wasn't out of her mind, she wouldn't lay a hand on Su Yue.

Back in his own palace, Qi Yu once again entered the subspace of the Heavenly Sword, where most of the Taoist scriptures were stored.

Upon entering the black stone mountain, Qi Yu once again saw the Corpse God on the altar, his expression calm, devoid of joy or sorrow.

This corpse god can read minds; when I talk to him, I'm always at a disadvantage.

Last time I was intimidated by this Corpse God, so this time I'm prepared.

Ding-dong~

The chains clanged against each other, making a crisp sound. The corpse god, who had been kneeling on the altar, slowly stood up, his blood-red eyes reflecting Qi Yu's figure.

But as he looked at it, he couldn't help but frown.

Because he couldn't see through it, or rather, he saw through it but wasn't sure what he was seeing.

"Impressive, to be able to do that!" the Corpse God exclaimed in admiration.

Qi Yu controlled his thoughts; all he could read about the figure was a blank.

"Taoism cultivates willpower, you must know that, right?" Qi Yu said calmly.

The Corpse God didn't want to waste time with Qi Yu's question-and-answer session, so he went straight to the point and asked, "Have you come to see me again because you've come to a change of heart?"

Qi Yu shook his head and said, "I didn't come here to ask for your help!"

"Then what are you doing here?" the Corpse God asked in surprise.

"I want to try to kill you!" Qi Yu said calmly, his face expressionless.

The Corpse God seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and he actually laughed, but it looked incredibly cold.

Back then, even when more than a dozen near-saints joined forces, they couldn't kill him and could only seal him away. What could Qi Yu possibly do?

"Where do you get your confidence?"

"Confidence often comes from strength!" Qi Yu said.

The Corpse God looked at Qi Yu with a mocking gaze. Although he had been sealed for more than two thousand years and his strength was less than one-tenth, he was still not someone Qi Yu could easily control.

Most importantly, he is unkillable!

"Then let me see your strength!"

Qi Yu walked up to the altar and came before the Corpse God.

Looking at the Corpse God, Qi Yu slowly raised his hand, aimed it at the Corpse God's forehead, and then slowly made a fist.

"You Corpse Gods are nothing more than a materialized mass of energy. You are not invincible, but so far, there is no effective way to kill you."

"Your time is running out, and I happen to be able to speed up time!"

As soon as Qi Yu finished speaking, a strange power spread out from his body, and Qi Yu's own Quasi-Saint Domain covered the entire altar.

This strange power swirled around the Corpse God, and the Corpse God's expression finally changed.

Qi Yu is accelerating his time!

"Taoist techniques may not work on you, but Confucian techniques can. Moreover, you are just a mass of energy and do not possess righteousness, so Confucian techniques will be effective against you."

This is the method Qi Yu came up with. Corpse Gods are merely aggregates of evil thoughts, not real living beings, so they do not possess true qi.

"Are you trying to take me down with you?" the Corpse God asked with a grim face.

Qi Yu's use of the power of a sage will reduce his own life force.

He is currently using the power of a near-saint!

Qi Yu shrugged and said, "Sorry, mutual destruction is impossible, because I control the situation. Although I will lose some life force, I will not die immediately."

Qi Yu's method only works on this corpse god, because he has been locked up here for too long and is almost starving to death.

"Are you trying to kill me? Don't forget, if I die, your own problems will be unsolvable!"

The Corpse God began to panic; for the first time, he felt death so close.

"You seem to overestimate yourself. I can go all out and cultivate the Three Corpses Technique. I won't die; at most, my personality will change drastically. But you will definitely die!" Qi Yu spoke calmly and unhurriedly, stating the facts.

Even if this Corpse God can read minds, it can't change anything. What difference does it make if he knows?
