My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Su Yue was speechless. Was this just a habit of cursing?

"I thought you were just a bookworm when you were young, my husband."

Qi Yu sighed helplessly and said, "When I was a child, I hated studying the most. In our school, I was one of the worst students."

"I was often physically punished by my husband for this. Sometimes my palms would be swollen from being hit. I had to eat with a spoon."

Su Yue couldn't help but recall how Qi Yu had been so tormented during the first few days of martial arts training that he couldn't even lift a bowl.

"That's not all. When you get home, you get a scolding from your mother-in-law. You have to cry while doing the homework your teacher assigned. It's absolutely miserable."

“Occasionally, your husband would call your mother-in-law to the college and complain about me in front of her. When he got home, he would beat me severely. So, your husband was basically raised by your mother-in-law.”

As Qi Yu spoke, he couldn't help but think of his mother in another world.

If he were to die, he wanted to see her one last time and say a proper goodbye.

Seeing Qi Yu's gaze, Su Yue felt a pang of sadness, and her grip on Qi Yu's arm tightened slightly.

"My lord, you still have me!" Su Yue said softly.

Su Yue had known for a long time that Qi Yu was actually just a coward who was afraid of being alone.

He wasn't as strong as he appeared, but that was one of the reasons she liked Qi Yu.

It was because of Qi Yu's fear and loneliness that she felt real, that this was what a person truly was.

Many times, she would have a certain feeling.

Her husband seemed to be from another world; he was always out of place in this world.

Only when Qi Yu revealed his cowardly side did she feel a sense of reality in him.

"Wife, shall we go back? I'll cook for you myself tonight!" Qi Yu said with a smile.

Su Yue nodded, but didn't say anything.

……

At dinner, Su Chengying, Xu Shuqin, and Su Yun were all there; it was a rare occasion for the whole family to gather together again.

The last time we sat down to eat together like this was more than half a year ago.

Su Yun was dressed in all black, exuding a dark aura from head to toe, and his face was unhealthy and pale.

A normal person's skin tone is fair with a rosy tint, but Su Yun's face was completely devoid of color.

Xu Shuqin and Su Chengying were at a loss, and their expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.

Su Yun has never given them a moment's peace!

Su Yun is already twenty-seven this year, but she is still not married.

Su Yue already has a child, but Su Yun seems to have become celibate, showing no interest in any woman other than Ouyang Ruoxue.

In fact, Su Yun did indeed abstain from sex, treating all his emotions and desires as food to nourish the Corpse God.

He has almost no more of humanity's most basic desires left.

Even now, all that remains of his feelings for Ouyang Ruoxue is a lingering obsession, not genuine affection.

Even if Ouyang Ruoxue were to strip naked and stand in front of Su Yun now, he would probably look at her as if she were a stone.

He truly castrated his desires.

Now, he feels more like an object, a container.

The vessel of the Corpse God!

Qi Yu had not read "The Slaying of the Three Corpses," so he only knew what happened, but not why.

The relationship between the Corpse God and its host is very complex. For example, Lin Ruoxi used her absolute strength to overwhelm and control the Corpse God.

Qi Yu and the Corpse God merged, achieving a cooperation, and both sides maintained their bottom line principles.

But Su Yun sent it over; he seemed to regard the Corpse God as a 'god' and kept offering himself as sacrifices.

Qi Yu couldn't help Su Yun; he wasn't a god and couldn't do everything.

Just like Su Yun said this morning, he is not so arrogant as to think he can save Su Yun.

Moreover, Su Yun voluntarily offered himself as a sacrifice to feed the Corpse God; it was not the Corpse God who bewitched him.

Qi Yu could already guess what Su Yun's future held.

If the Corpse God were to take the lead, he might break through to the Saint Realm, who knows?

There are historical precedents for achieving sainthood by severing one's corpse; the Dao Ancestor is an example.

However, the corpse gods that Daozu created were basically all killed by him.

Su Yun is not a Taoist; the cultivation method he practices differs somewhat from that of Taoism.

"Slaying the Three Corpses" is a unique technique created based on Taoist cultivation methods.

Su Yun has no Taoist cultivation methods as a foundation, yet he practices "Slaying the Three Corpses." If you say there are no hidden dangers, Qi Yu would never believe it even if you beat him to death.

This hidden danger is now beginning to emerge.

It's rare to have a family reunion dinner, but the atmosphere is somewhat oppressive.

The dark aura emanating from Su Yue was enough to create an awkward silence.

Later, the two children woke up and started crying, seemingly because they were hungry.

Su Yue and Xu Shuqin took the child into the attic to take care of the child, leaving only Su Chengying, Su Yunqi, and Yu at the dining table.

Su Chengying ate his food, his gaze calm.

He no longer knew how to raise his son.

I've already said it, they're too old for me to hit them, it won't make any difference.

He didn't know what to do either, so he just left it at that!

As long as I'm alive, that's enough!

Fortunately, Su Yue was relatively easy to take care of, and the Qi Yu that Su Yue brought back was also quite good.

Compared to her younger sister, Su Yun was far inferior.

It's not just about talent, but also about the ability to judge people.

Su Yun could like anyone, but he liked Li Muchen's daughter, and he could accept it, or at least control it.

They believed in marrying a virtuous wife, but Ouyang Ruoxue was simply not one of them.

Moreover, the virtues and gentleness that an ordinary woman should possess are completely absent in Ouyang Ruoxue.

Furthermore, Su Yun's transformation into this inhuman, ghost-like state for Ouyang Ruoxue's sake only made him dislike Ouyang Ruoxue even more.

Qi Yu didn't know how to solve this problem either, so he could only try his best to take Ouyang Ruoxue away and see if Su Yun could let go of her.

Moreover, Su Chengying and Xu Shuqin both felt uncomfortable with Ouyang Ruoxue present.

"Yu'er, where are you planning to hold the baby's one-month celebration? Back in Jiangzhou City?"

In a sense, Jiangzhou City is Qi Yu and Su Yue's true home, while Blood God Island can only be considered their maternal home.

Su Yue and Qi Yu will eventually have to go back.

Qi Yu nodded and said, "I plan to hold a full-month celebration for the child in Jiangzhou City. It seems that my elder brother will also be there."

Su Chengying nodded. He also admired Qi Lin. If it weren't for the fact that the man surnamed Mu beat him to it, he would have wanted to take Qi Lin as his disciple.

He had met Qi Lin, and all he could say was that these two brothers were truly prodigies.

Qi Yu is one thing, but Qi Lin is terrifying too.

"Then what about Ouyang Ruoxue? Are you really going to bring her back to the academy?" Su Chengying asked.

Qi Yu shook his head and said, "It's not really about bringing her back to the academy! It all depends on her own wishes."

Su Chengying was very supportive of Qi Yu's decision, since he found it annoying to keep Ouyang Ruoxue on Blood God Island.

Most importantly, Qi Yu is very capable and can keep Ouyang Ruoxue in check.

The meal was quickly finished, and Qi Yu and Su Yue were playing with the child in the yard.

Compared to Qi Ji, Qi Yu preferred Qi Wen, not for any reason other than that she was a sweet and caring girl, but simply because Qi Wen liked to smile at him.

Qi Ji is a crybaby, the opposite of Qi Wen. He only smiles when you hold him.

Even when Su Yue holds him, he often cries.

The child's chubby little hand grasped Qi Yu's index finger and gently sucked on it.

Qi Yu wore a gentle smile, feeling warm and incredibly touched inside.

"Husband, give Wen'er to me, you can hold Ji'er and play with her for a while!" Su said softly as he came down from upstairs.

Su Yue has finished feeding Qi Ji; now it's Qi Ji's turn.

Qi Ji cries whenever he's hungry, he cries before going to sleep, and he cries all the time, for no particular reason.

Qi Yu took Qi Ji from him, and Qi Ji stared at him with her two big, adorable eyes without blinking.

Qi Yu's heart was almost melting. His son had really inherited his good looks and would definitely be a handsome man in the future.

Su Yue took Qi Wen to breastfeed, leaving Qi Yu and Qi Ji, one big and one small, staring at each other.

Suddenly, Qi Ji grinned and waved her two chubby, pink little hands at Qi Yu, looking very excited.

Qi Yu stretched out her finger, and Qi Ji grabbed it immediately, then, just like Qi Wen, put it in her mouth and sucked on it.

"Son, it's your dad!"

Qi Yu teased Qi Ji, gently pinching his chubby cheeks.

The children's giggles echoed as the sun began to sink below the horizon.

Meanwhile, in the endless southern sea, in a magnificent Taoist temple, a Taoist nun emerged from a meditative state.

What brought her out of her meditative state was a woman dressed in a light blue dress, barefoot, floating in mid-air.

The woman in the light blue dress had red accents, slightly pointed ears, and wore a hair ornament that looked like a fish fin. Her long, silvery-white hair swayed in the wind.

With her arrival, the temple began to feel damp, all the candles went out, and water dripped from the eaves.
