My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Having natural talent can be quite helpful in the early stages, but it becomes largely useless later on.

Su Chengying's talent in his youth surpassed even that of his teacher, but in terms of artistic realm, Su Chengying was always one step behind.

Moreover, whether it was an illusion or not, Qi Yu saw the figure of Teacher Zhi in Su Chengying.

The game of chess was over, and Qi Yu lost.

Su Chengying also gave Qi Yu the order to leave.

Blood God Island is practically deserted now, as Su Yue has dispatched them all out.

Qi Yu confirmed that the Demonic Cult was preparing a grand plan.

But so what? What does it have to do with me?

Back in the attic, Xu Shuqin also arrived, bringing food for Su Yue.

Su Yue's main job now is taking care of the children, and Xu Shuqin basically takes care of all the cooking.

After lunch, Su Yue took the two children to the yard to bask in the sun. It was almost April, and spring had arrived.

"My wife, if possible, please come with me to pay respects to our parents on the seventh of next month!" Qi Yu said.

Su Yue nodded and said, "Okay, are you leaving?"

Qi Yu's main purpose in coming to Blood God Island was to get Ouyang Ruoxue, and he has almost finished that task.

Qi Yu held Qi Wen in his arms, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes upon hearing this. He said softly, "I'm sorry, my wife. Taoism is currently in a developmental stage, and there are some things that I have to do myself!"

He also wanted to spend more time with Su Yue and the children, but Taoism was developing and there were many things that required his attention.

The development of Taoism involved many things that Qin Xiu could not do for him; Qi Yu had to do them personally.

Su Yue said calmly, "I didn't mean to blame you. You have your responsibilities, and I understand that."

Su Yue said that, but Qi Yu still felt somewhat guilty.

I haven't been able to spend much time with Su Yue and the child lately.

He is indeed leaving, and he's leaving immediately.

With a sigh, Qi Yu put the child back in the cradle, came behind Su Yue, and reached out to hug Su Yue's slender waist.

Even though Su Yue had given birth, her figure hadn't changed; on the contrary, it had become much fuller.

"My wife, I am truly an unfit husband. I have failed to provide you with a good life. I am so sorry!"

Su Yue smiled, turned around, faced Qi Yu, cupped Qi Yu's cheeks in her hands, and smiled kindly.

Su Yue has a beautiful smile, but she doesn't smile often. She only smiles when she's with Qi Yu and her family.

"A smile that could launch a thousand ships" is not just an adjective, but a real phenomenon.

"In my heart, you are the best. You have done nothing wrong to me. You have your responsibilities, and I understand that. So go ahead! I will take good care of the child."

Qi Yu's eyes were slightly moist, and his feelings were very complicated.

What merit do I possess to be worthy of marrying Su Yue?

I am truly worthless; I cannot stay by Su Yue's and the child's side.

The Taoist sect needs him to handle some matters, and they absolutely cannot do without him.

Having come all this way, Qi Yu didn't want to go back so soon.

Holding Su Yue's hand slightly tighter, Qi Yu whispered, "My wife, I will take care of everything before the end of the year!"

Qi Yu's words were somewhat cryptic, but Su Yue understood them perfectly.

Everything he said referred to the matter between Zhengdao and Lin Ruoxi.

Taoism needs time to develop, and it is impossible to achieve anything before the end of the year.

So all Qi Yu can do is rely on his strength to first eliminate forces like Tianya Haige, Tianyin Valley, and Cihang Sword Sect.

Su Yue felt a pang of heartache and gently stroked Qi Yu's cheek.

When did my husband start to put aside his arrogance and unruliness and become more worldly?

I remember now, it was after the previous leader died that my husband took over the position.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!

This is the weight of the head coach's responsibilities; he must shoulder it.

He wasn't a religious leader before; he was just an ordinary scholar who took it upon himself to support his family.

At that time, he only needed to be responsible for himself.

However, after taking over as head coach, he had to shoulder all the responsibilities of the position.

The heavy responsibility of his promise to his teacher, the future of his Taoist disciples, and the future development of Taoism all rested on his shoulders.

Everything he did was in line with the responsibilities of the head of the church.

So he spent less time with her and started to get busy.

Qi Yu's hair had turned back to black, but Su Yue still noticed quite a few gray hairs among them.

"My lord, I'm begging you, you must take good care of yourself!"

As Su Yue spoke, she reached out and picked out a white hair from her head of black hair, white from root to tip.

Qi Yu looked at the white hair in Su Yue's hand and fell completely silent.

How long has it been since he took a vacation?

During the six months he spent in the far north, he was basically fighting every day, either running for his life or fighting against poison.

The baby was born shortly after she returned, and she was overwhelmed with worry for several days because of Lin Ruoxi.

After rescuing the child, I was seriously injured and slept for three days, and then I've been busy ever since.

Am I being too busy?

So busy that you don't even have time to spend with your wife and kids?

Qi Yu's thoughts gradually became somewhat complicated.

When Qi Yu snapped out of his thoughts, he saw Su Yue's tender gaze.

He really deserves a good vacation!

He loosened his embrace of Su Yue, then covered Su Yue's hands that were cupping his cheeks, and smiled slightly.

"My wife, I'm not leaving today. I'll stay with you and the child!"

Su Yue blinked, then laughed happily and threw herself into Qi Yu's arms.

Qi Yu also reached out and hugged Su Yue's shoulders, smelling her familiar scent, and his mood gradually calmed down.

He could only truly relax when he was with Su Yue.

"My wife, thank you!"

Nestled in Qi Yu's arms, listening to his heartbeat, Su Yue asked in confusion, "What are you thanking me for?"

"everything!"

Su Yue did a lot of things. The rapid development of Taoism was due not only to Qi Yu's leadership, but most importantly to Su Yue's help.

She had been secretly helping herself and Taoism.

Even this time, after the Purple Qi Pavilion was destroyed, nothing major happened, partly because of Su Yue.

Moreover, it was Su Yue who, in his place, blocked the beast god from the deep sea.

That's why he hasn't clashed with the Beast God yet, allowing him to focus on dealing with the Purple Qi Pavilion.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Beast God

Qi Yu did not leave immediately. Even though there were many people waiting for him at the academy, Qi Yu remained on Blood God Island.

He is indeed the head coach, but he is also Su Yue's husband and the father of two children.

Work is never-ending, but time spent with family flies by in the blink of an eye.

The affairs of Taoism are very important, but compared to Su Yue and the child, they are insignificant.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Su Yue led Qi Yu to a cliff face, from which the entire sea level could be clearly seen.

"When I was a child, I often sat here alone. Whenever I was happy or unhappy, I would come here!"

The two sat on a large rock. Su Yue linked arms with Qi Yu's right arm, leaned against him, and told him about her childhood with a smile.

Qi Yu listened attentively, and with the sea breeze blowing, he couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.

"Husband, what kind of person were you when you were little? Were you as shameless as you are now?" Su Yue asked curiously, her eyes wide open.

Qi Yu couldn't help but recall his past life. His memories before the age of nine were somewhat vague. His most vivid memories were of playing chess with his grandfather and eating milk candy on his grandfather's lap.

After I turned ten, my grandfather passed away. Two years later, my father also went to Wudang Mountain to become a Taoist priest in order to learn martial arts, and he never came back.

After I got into university, my mother also developed a mental illness because of my father's situation and was hospitalized in a mental hospital for treatment.

It can be said that his childhood was basically spent in separation.

"My dear wife, when I was little, I was a very shy boy. A piece of candy could make me happy all day."

Su Yue gave a soft "oh," indicating her doubt.

"Then how did you become like this, my husband?"

Qi Yu usually appears very gentle and kind, but his ability to argue and curse is unmatched even by the aunties of Jiangting Village.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Yu smiled helplessly and said, "I learned it from playing video games!"

Su Yue looked puzzled and asked in surprise, "Playing games?"

Qi Yu pinched Su Yue's delicate nose and smiled, "It's a way to pass the time. Everyone works together to win the game, and there will be many unexpected things along the way."

"If someone makes a mistake, the game is lost, no matter how well you perform, it's useless, which is quite frustrating, and then people start arguing with each other."

"After experiencing a lot, I can come up with sarcastic remarks without even thinking."
