My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

As Qi Yu spoke, he took a book out of his pocket and handed it to Su Cheng.

"Cousin Su Cheng, this is for you!"

Su Cheng glanced at Qi Yu, took the book, and casually flipped through it.

Gradually, Su Cheng's gaze became serious.

"This is……"

Qi Yu shrugged and said, "The Confucian classic 'The Gentleman's Self-Cultivation Manual' teaches that one's destiny is in one's own hands. You are Su Yue's cousin, and I don't want to end up fighting with you in the future."

Qi Yu gave Su Cheng a Confucian cultivation method, which is on the same level as the "Marrow Cleansing Treatise".

He had already replicated all the Confucian practices himself, and Yang Xun hadn't said that he couldn't pass them on to others.

Since he didn't say anything, Qi Yu took it as an admission that he could teach others.

Moreover, so far, he has only given Su Cheng this one copy.

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment, then put away the cultivation technique and looked at Qi Yu seriously.

"Brother-in-law, thank you!"

Qi Yu waved his hand, stood up, and then looked in the direction of Su Lie's residence.

"Now that I've delivered the gifts, I should head back. My wife is waiting for me!"

Su Cheng also stood up and bowed to Qi Yu as a farewell.

When he straightened up, Qi Yu had already disappeared.

Su Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head with a helpless wry smile.

Is this the power of a near-saint?

He wasn't a martial artist, so he didn't know these things, but that didn't prevent him from recognizing Qi Yu's strength.

His gaze involuntarily fell on the cultivation technique that Qi Yu had given him.

……

Qi Yu used the Shrinking Earth technique to arrive at Su Lie's residence. However, Su Lie's residence was not as deserted as Su Cheng's. On the contrary, it was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations and was very lively, with countless people busy at work.

In Qi Yu's perception, he also saw several familiar faces.

Su Lie's father, Su Chengda, was also present, which was to be expected.

After all, it's only natural for parents to be present when their son gets married.

Besides Su Chengda, Qi Yu also saw Su Yuan, Su Ling, and several cousins ​​he had seen at Su Chengying's birthday banquet.

With a sigh, Qi Yu released his Quasi-Saint Domain, enveloping the entire Marquis's residence.

The once noisy mansion immediately fell silent, and all the busy people stood motionless like statues.

A small bird that flew over the Marquis's mansion also stopped in mid-air, motionless.

Time seemed to have been frozen.

The facts were indeed frozen, but Qi Yu froze more than just time.

The Confucian talent and the realm of the Second Sage are a perfect match. As long as one uses talent, everything in the realm of the Second Sage is up to one's own decision.

Qi Yu walked through the main hall and then came to the back hall, where he saw Su Lie.

Ahead of Su Lie were Su Chengda and a woman, presumably Su Chengda's wife.

Walking up to Su Lie, Qi Yu snapped his fingers. Su Lie's eyes immediately blinked. After a brief moment of confusion, he realized what was happening and saw Qi Yu.

"We meet again, cousin Su Lie!"

It hasn't gotten better; in fact, it seems to have gotten worse. The IV drip didn't seem to help either.

Chapter 104 Only You Are Left

"What are you here for?"

Su Lie, dressed in a magnificent brocade robe with his right arm bare, looked at Qi Yu, who had suddenly appeared, with indifferent eyes.

Qi Yu didn't seem to care much about Su Lie's cold gaze. He took out a palm-sized box from his pocket and placed it on the tea table.

"Tomorrow is your wedding day, this is a wedding gift from Su Yue and me, as an early congratulation!"

After putting down the box, Qi Yu had no intention of staying any longer.

Just as he was about to leave, a sudden gust of wind arose, and a powerful burst of true energy struck Qi Yu's back.

Bang!

As the true energy surged, the stone floor beneath Qi Yu's feet immediately shattered into a spiderweb pattern, and the surrounding tea tables and chairs were also overturned by the true energy, leaving the entire room in a mess.

Qi Yu remained motionless, not even bothering to look back.

Su Lie frowned. His full-force palm strike couldn't even hurt a hair on Qi Yu's head, because his hand was blocked by an invisible force before it even touched Qi Yu.

"Do you really think I won't kill you? Isn't an arm enough to make you face reality?" Qi Yu said calmly.

Su Lie is a typical scoundrel. He may not be as good as Su Lie in training troops and fighting battles, but if a real battle breaks out, he alone can wipe out an entire Su Lie army.

Whether he intended to kill himself or simply wanted to test the waters, Su Lie's actions were undoubtedly courting death.

"I know you'll kill me, but I still want to try!" Su Yue withdrew her hand and said calmly.

Qi Yu glanced at Su Lie, then looked away, realizing there was nothing more to say to him.

"Tomorrow is the one-month anniversary of your two children, right?" Su Lie asked.

Qi Yu raised an eyebrow, turned around, and looked at Su Lie with surprise.

With one arm, Su Lie took out a pair of small gold bracelets from his clothes. A small bell was hanging from each of the four corners of the bracelets. It would make a clear tinkling sound if shaken slightly. It was obviously meant for a child.

"This is a gift for the child!"

Qi Yu took the bracelet, glanced at Su Yue, said nothing, and turned to leave the Marquis's residence.

……

After finishing his business, Qi Yu did not return immediately. Instead, he headed north halfway to the far north ice plains, and then passed through the Great Wu Dynasty before returning to Qinghe County.

He has done everything he needed to do; now all he can do is wait quietly.

The appearance of the ancient city of Fengdu has caused panic on the mainland, and many powerful ghosts and monsters have appeared in many uninhabited wastelands.

These ghosts have developed considerable intelligence, and they even appear at night in bustling human cities.

Now, once it gets dark, practically no ordinary person dares to go out.

In the far north, there is a transformed demon beast that lives in a palace. The strength of that demon beast is at least at the level of a sub-saint.

At least in a fight, on the far north ice plains, I am no match for it.

However, this time Qi Yu didn't go to fight; he only went to retrieve some items.

Qi Yu went there in the morning, and by the time he returned to his own courtyard it was already evening. Su Chengying and Xu Shuqin had also returned.

Mu Fengchun has returned to the First Tower, seemingly preparing to mobilize forces to intercept and kill the Beast God.

Qi Lin's physical condition is deteriorating day by day. His combat power is constantly increasing, but his lifespan is decreasing.

Mu Fengchun's anxiety is understandable.

However, dealing with the Beast God is not easy, especially at sea.

If it comes to land, I might be able to destroy it.

But the fact that even Su Yue was injured in the sea speaks volumes.

After recounting the events in the capital to Su Chengying, Qi Yu went into the inner room, where Su Yue was sitting by the bed, watching over the two children.

The two children were already fast asleep, drool dripping from their mouths, seemingly sleeping soundly.

Qi Yu originally intended to make a sound when he came in, but Su Yue turned her head and made a shushing gesture. Qi Yu nodded, then quietly sat down next to Su Yue and watched the child together.

As he looked at it, Qi Yu couldn't help but think of the bracelet Su Lie had given him. He reached into his pocket, took it out, and handed it to Su Yue.

Su Yue cast a questioning look at him, clearly asking where this came from.

Qi Yu mouthed the name 'Su Lie'.

Su Yue paused for a moment, but still took the bracelet from Qi Yu and carefully put it on the child.

Two children, one for each of them, the size is just right.

After putting the bracelet on the child, Su Yue examined it for a moment, nodded, and smiled, seemingly very satisfied.

Qi Yu looked at Su Yue. Su Yue had a beautiful smile, but she rarely smiled.

"My wife!" Qi Yu called out softly.

Su Yue turned her head, still a little confused, but before she could ask, Qi Yu leaned in and gently kissed her cheek.

Su Yue blinked, and after regaining her senses, rolled her eyes at Qi Yu.

"You're going to take advantage of this kind of thing too!" Su Yue said helplessly.

Qi Yu shrugged and smiled, "Even a small mosquito is still meat; it's foolish not to take advantage of a bargain!"

"Please look after the baby, my wife. I'll go cook!"

After Qi Yu finished kissing her, he stood up immediately.

Su Yue originally wanted to do it herself, but after glancing at the two children, she didn't say anything more.

After Qi Yu left, Su Yue raised her hand and touched the cheek that Qi Yu had kissed, a smile playing on her lips.

Although Qi Yu has changed a lot, there are some things he hasn't changed.

……

After finishing their meal, Su Chengying and Xu Shuqin took the two children for a walk, leaving Qi Yu and Su Yue behind in the courtyard.

When Su Yue finished washing the dishes, she saw Qi Yu sitting under the eaves in the same spot, watching the stars gradually appear in the sky.
