My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

But just as they were getting up to get busy, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and a stunningly beautiful woman in a white dress walked in.

Qi Lin turned his head and looked at the woman, his eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

When Ouyang Ruoxue saw this, her brows furrowed. Her intuition told her that this man, who looked like an ordinary person with no true energy, was very strong.

He stood there, yet he seemed to have merged with heaven and earth, like a tree or a stone, without any sense of presence.

"Who are you? Why are you in Qi Yu's house?" Ouyang Ruoxue asked, frowning.

Ouyang Ruoxue did not know Qi Lin, but Qi Lin did know Ouyang Ruoxue.

Logically speaking, since the Purple Qi Pavilion was destroyed, this woman should also have been killed.

However, because of Su Yun and Su Yue, Qi Yu did not kill Ouyang Ruoxue.

Logically speaking, since Qi Yu killed her master and destroyed her sect, she should hate Qi Yu and even want to kill him.

The normal course of events would be for her to find a place to hide and wait for an opportunity to take revenge on Qi Yu.

But she swaggered right up to my door. Has this woman lost her mind?

"My name is Qi Lin, Qi Yu's older brother!" Qi Lin replied.

Ouyang Ruoxue raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, somewhat surprised.

She had investigated Qi Yu and knew about his background, so she naturally knew about Qi Lin as well.

But Qi Lin is dead, isn't he?

It seems the rumors were wrong; Qi Lin not only didn't die, but he's actually very strong.

Although surprised, Ouyang Ruoxue did not intend to fight Qi Lin. Whether she could win or not was another matter; the most important thing was that she did not come here to fight.

"I'm looking for Qi Yu, where is he?" Ouyang Ruoxue asked.

Qi Lin lowered his sleeves, picked up the long sword from the pile of firewood, and asked, "What do you want with him?"

If Ouyang Ruoxue came for revenge, Qi Lin wouldn't mind adding another Dao Integration Master to his ranks.

He is not Qi Yu; Qi Yu cannot kill, but he is the one who does.

Ouyang Ruoxue clearly sensed Qi Lin's killing intent, but being proud and arrogant, she could not tolerate such provocation.

He let out a soft, cold snort, and his true energy was gradually drawn out.

The two men were on the verge of a fight, a tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the air, and it looked like they were about to come to blows.

But at that moment, Qi Yu hurriedly stepped between the two.

"Stop! Don't do it! If the two of you attack, my little courtyard will definitely be doomed. Besides, today is my child's one-month celebration. Can you please not be so violent?" Qi Yu said helplessly.

Qi Lin glanced at Ouyang Ruoxue, said nothing, casually tossed the longsword back onto the woodpile, and continued tidying up the firewood.

Ouyang Ruoxue also withdrew her inner energy, turned to look at Qi Yu, and asked, "Where is Su Yue? I need to see her!"

Qi Yu did not answer, because Su Yue had already come out of the house.

"What do you want with me?" Su Yue's hair and clothes were still a little disheveled, clearly indicating that she had come out in a hurry.

Originally, she had planned to dress up nicely before coming to see Qi Lin, since Qi Yu's parents were dead and Qi Lin was Qi Yu's only remaining family.

As the eldest brother, Qi Lin was like a father to him, so of course he had to dress up properly for their first formal meeting.

But he was only halfway through getting dressed when he noticed that Ouyang Ruoxue had arrived and was confronting Qi Lin.

If a fight really breaks out, Ouyang Ruoxue will die.

Qi Lin had no intention of showing any mercy to women. He was an assassin, and he would kill Ouyang Ruoxue without hesitation.

Ouyang Ruoxue glanced at Qi Yu and said, "Today is your child's one-month celebration. I came to see the baby. What? Aren't you welcome?"

Su Yue's expression was somewhat complicated. Ouyang Ruoxue had harmed Qi Yu, and she had considered killing Ouyang Ruoxue back then.

She was very rational about her older brother Su Yun's situation. From beginning to end, it was all Su Yun's wishful thinking; Ouyang Ruoxue had never liked him.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly unfair to blame Su Yun's current predicament on Ouyang Ruoxue.

The way Su Yun is now is Su Yun's own problem, and has nothing to do with Ouyang Ruoxue.

Involuntarily, Su Yue looked at Qi Yu, wanting to hear his opinion.

Noticing Su Yue's gaze, Qi Yu looked at Ouyang Ruoxue, thought for a moment, and then smiled slightly.

"Since Miss Ouyang has come to congratulate the child, please come in as a guest!"

In any case, it's not a good day to make a move, and Ouyang Ruoxue doesn't seem to be hostile.

Ouyang Ruoxue glanced at Qi Lin in the distance, then looked at Qi Yu.

"For the sake of the child and Su Yue, I will spare your life today. However, I will still kill you when I have the chance in the future to avenge my master and my fellow disciples!"

Su Yue glanced at Ouyang Ruoxue, and Qi Lin also stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked at her indifferently.

Only Qi Yu remained unperturbed, laughing and saying, "You're welcome to come and kill me anytime; I will never run away!"

Ouyang Ruoxue had nowhere to go, so keeping her by his side would keep an eye on her.

Moreover, if someone is going to kill me, they should at least be a near-saint!

Even if a master without a domain stands still and lets you cut him, he won't be able to cut a single hair on your head.

Ouyang Ruoxue didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards Su Yue.

"Where's your child? Take me to see him/her?"

Su Yue raised her delicate eyebrows. Was this woman deliberately picking a fight?

"My child, why should you let me see him/her?"

Ouyang Ruoxue remained expressionless, and with a wave of her hand, tossed something to Su Yue.

"I understand, you want a gift, right? This is for the child!"

Su Yue reached out and took the bead, looking at it in her hand, somewhat speechless.

Mirage pearl!

In the sea, there is a monstrous beast called the Shen.

The clam is enormous and creates an environment that confuses passing humans.

This mirage pearl is the inner core of the mirage, and it also has the ability to create illusions.

However, compared to creating illusions, the mirage pearl has another function that is even more useful.

Keeping a mirage pearl nearby can help cleanse the body and bones, and the mirage pearl can maintain a constant temperature.

This function is far more useful than anything else.

Children are more vulnerable, and they will get sick if there is a big difference in temperature. Therefore, Su Yue usually uses her true energy to create a series of domains to keep the temperature constant.

Now that she has this mirage pearl, Su Yue no longer needs to constantly monitor the temperature, which is undoubtedly a great help.

Chapter 107 Innocence

Ouyang Ruoxue's arrival was undoubtedly an unexpected event. Xu Shuqin and Su Chengying looked at Ouyang Ruoxue with somewhat unpleasant expressions.

Although Ouyang Ruoxue was indirectly responsible for Su Yun's transformation, ultimately it was Su Yun's own inability to let go, and Ouyang Ruoxue really cannot be blamed.

Because of Ouyang Ruoxue, Qi Yu was also blamed by Xu Shuqin, since it was Ouyang Ruoxue he was the one who had to go.

Rather than letting Ouyang Ruoxue grow up wildly, who might stab herself in the back at any time, it's better to bring her back to the academy and keep an eye on her.

After all, this woman was also a Grandmaster of the Dao Integration Realm, and her talent was not bad.

Su Yue took Ouyang Ruoxue to see the child, while Qi Yu helped Xu Shuqin in the kitchen.

Since she published her cookbook, many new dishes have appeared in mainland China. Xu Shuqin has been able to apply what she learned to create many dishes that Qi Yu had never tasted before.

Most of those dishes used monster meat as the main ingredient, after all, Qi Yu had created a book on health preservation called "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to deal with the monster tide and dispose of the monster corpses.

Now that the monsters have retreated into the sea and mountains, even though Su Yue has relaxed her defenses, very few monsters dare to come out anymore.

The beast tide seemed to have been resolved, but only a very few people knew that this was just the beginning, and an even greater storm was about to break.

The reason there is no beast tide now is simply because Su Yue fought a secret battle with the Beast God, which made the Beast God wary.

Now, any monsters that appear are hunted down; the ruthlessness of human gluttons is well-known.

Some people even spontaneously organized hunting teams to hunt monsters and sell them to high-ranking officials and nobles to make money.

Because of the book "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the positions of humans and monsters were reversed.

Monsters eat people, and people eat monsters.

Qi Yu wasn't particularly interested in the land-based monsters; he was more interested in the sea monsters.

A group of large, walking seafood, including crabs the size of trucks and squid the size of small hills. You could eat any one of these seafood and be stuffed to death.

Qi Yu was currently shelling a crab leg that was as big as a pillar. Behind him was a tank full of crab meat.

After peeling the crab, Qi Yu stood up, went into the living room, and placed the crab meat he was carrying on the table.

Qi Lin and Su Chengying sat facing each other at the table, chatting about something.

Su Chengying is very talkative, and although Qi Lin is cold now, he used to be a very lively person.

After placing a plate of crab meat on the table, Qi Yu turned and walked into the inner room. The door to the inner room was closed. Knowing that Ouyang Ruoxue and Su Yue were inside, Qi Yu knocked on the door first.

"My lady, I've cooked some crabs. Would you like some?"

"Come in!" Su Yue's voice came from inside.

Qi Yu pushed open the door and walked around a few times, then saw Su Yue changing Qi Ji's clothes, while Ouyang Ruoxue was holding Qi Wen, who had already changed.

Seeing Ouyang Ruoxue holding Qi Wen, Qi Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Does Su Yue trust Ouyang Ruoxue that much? She even lets her hold the child?

After placing the crabs on the table, Qi Yu glanced at Ouyang Ruoxue, just as Ouyang Ruoxue looked over, and their eyes met.

The two could be considered enemies. Because of this relationship, Qi Yu didn't trust Ouyang Ruoxue very much, and didn't even believe her.
