My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Su Yue was also soaked through; streams of rainwater flowed from her delicate chin and jet-black hair, and her clothes were also drenched and clung to her body.

Even so, Su Yue still looked up at the sky, her eyes vacant, and even the raindrops falling on the corners of her eyes couldn't make her blink.

Qi Yu was startled by Su Yue's appearance and rushed to her side, anxiously grabbing her shoulder to check if she was injured.

"Wife, what's wrong? Are you hurt? Don't scare me."

Qi Yu's anxious voice and Su Yue's empty eyes finally regained some of their luster. Looking at Qi Yu's worried expression, her red lips were pursed tightly, as if she was trying to hold back something.

"Husband, is there something you haven't told me?" Su Yue's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of tears in it, as if she were about to burst into tears at any moment.

Qi Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Su Yue with a puzzled expression.

"My wife, what are you talking about?"

Su Yue gave a bitter smile, tears welling up in her eyes before mingling with the rain and sliding down her cheeks.

Not wanting Qi Yu to see her cry, Su Yue quickly broke free from Qi Yu's hands and turned her back to him.

"Husband, let's go back!"

As she spoke, Su Yue began to walk, heading onto the official road leading to Jiangzhou City.

Qi Yu didn't follow immediately; he frowned and stood there blankly.

Su Yue's condition is clearly not right. What could be the reason for this? What just happened?

What did she say to Lin Ruoxi?

Qi Yu wanted to use mind-reading to understand Su Yue's mind, but he didn't want to use it on her.

Helplessly, someone looked up at the dark night sky, letting the rain pelt their body.

The spring rain was slightly chilly; after wetting my clothes, they clung tightly to my skin, and every pore trembled.

He shouldn't feel cold, because his constitution is such that he is not afraid of heat or cold.

But now, he truly felt the cold, a cold that penetrated to his very bones!

Su Yue said she had something she hadn't told her?

What did she say?

He did have things he hadn't told her, including his physical condition, his deal with the nine-tailed ice fox, and his true origins.

Looking back now, he really was an irresponsible husband!

He had been deceiving Su Yue, believing that he could handle everything.

In the end, nothing was resolved.

Chapter 113 Barrier

Back in the courtyard, the dense ghostly aura around him told Qi Yu what had just happened.

It wasn't surprising that the ancient city of Fengdu knew where he lived, nor was it surprising that the ghosts and monsters attacked him.

To Qi Yu's surprise, they launched their attack at a very specific time.

They came with Lin Ruoxi and the Beast God, which made Qi Yu think of a question.

The appearance of Fengdu Ancient City was too sudden, and the alliance between the Beast God and Lin Ruoxi was also somewhat abrupt.

Qi Yu would never believe that these two things were unrelated.

The seal on Fengdu Ancient City was personally laid down by the Dao Ancestor. If it were Lin Ruoxi, it wouldn't be impossible for her to break it.

After all, Xuanzong was also a branch of Taoism!

If Emperor Xuanzong joins forces with the demons, monsters, and ghosts of Fengdu Ancient City, then things will really get busy.

Who knows, I might get beaten to a pulp!

However, now is not the time to think about that. Even if they unite, their own plans remain unchanged.

What I can do is to proceed steadily and surely, and first strengthen Taoism.

One person's strength is ultimately limited!

The problem now is to figure out how Su Yue came to be.

Her reaction just now was very strange.

Su Yue returned earlier than Qi Yu, and even though Qi Yu used the Shrinking Earth technique, he still couldn't catch up with Su Yue.

Upon returning, Su Yue immediately locked herself in the inner room!

Su Yue seemed to be deliberately avoiding him!

Qi Yu didn't know how Su Yue got here, but he was certain that it was related to Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi is a very annoying woman, even disgusting.

Su Yue locked herself in the inner room, and Qi Yu couldn't see her even if he wanted to.

Xu Shuqin took the children away. Surprisingly, the two children didn't cry or make a fuss tonight and went to bed early.

Su Chengying and Xu Shuqin went to see the child together, leaving only Su Yunqi, Qi Lin, and Qi Yu in the hall.

Because of Su Yue's matter, Qi Yu was somewhat upset and didn't want to say anything more. He handed the sacred relic he had taken from the Beast God to Qi Lin.

"Brother, you're on your own about what to do with the Corpse God inside!"

Qi Lin accepted the hair ornament without saying anything.

He didn't say thank you or anything like that, because Qi Yu was his younger brother, and declining or saying thank you would seem too distant.

Su Yun stood to the side, looking at Qi Yu's soaking wet body, then glanced at the room.

"What's going on between you and your little sister? Did you two fight again?"

Qi Yu sighed helplessly and said, "It would be better if we just argued, at least she would still be willing to argue with me, but she's clearly avoiding me now!"

Su Yun shook her head gently, then stood up, turned and walked towards the door.

"It's raining outside, where are you going, brother?" Qi Yu asked in surprise.

Su Yun turned her head slightly, giving Qi Yu a handsome profile view.

"Return to Blood God Island and continue my seclusion, striving to break through to the Quasi-Saint level as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yu was speechless.

If Su Yun wants to break through to the Quasi-Saint level, he must continue with the second Corpse Severing, just like Lin Ruoxi did.

Qi Yu wasn't particularly interested in the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique, even though he did have a clear method for its cultivation.

Su Yun walked into the rain and then disappeared into the night.

Qi Lin stood up after Su Yun left.

"I'm going back to the First Building. Qi Ran, could you keep an eye on things for me?"

Qi Yu frowned and asked, "Are we leaving now?"

Qi Lin nodded, then, as if remembering something, turned to meet Qi Yu's gaze and said earnestly:

"Although Zheng Wenhao doesn't know any martial arts, he is a very powerful person. He alone is enough to withstand an army of millions!"

Qi Yu raised an eyebrow. Is Zheng Wenhao really that amazing?

"What is your relationship with Zheng Wenhao? And what's the deal with... Liu Qian?"

Liu Qian was originally Qi Lin's wife, and Zheng Wenhao was his friend.

Now his wife has married his friend; this melodramatic plot is almost as dramatic as a Korean drama.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Lin calmly said, "Four years ago, when I went to stop the Inspector's carriage, I knew I was in grave danger, so I entrusted Wenhao to take good care of Liu Qian and my parents!"

Qi Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "So your sister-in-law thought you were dead, and just then, Zheng Wenhao listened to your instructions and took care of them, a widow and her orphan, so you remarried Zheng Wenhao?"

Qi Lin nodded and said, "That's right!"

Qi Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked, "So what now? Brother, are you resentful?"

Qi Lin smiled, then patted Qi Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You don't need to worry about me. I'm a dying man anyway, and if it's Wen Hao, I have nothing to say."

"I could die at any moment. The 'Killing Reincarnation' technique is about killing people and demons, and ultimately killing yourself."

"If Liu Qian can find a good home, I will have fewer regrets and less guilt."

"After all, I'm the one who wronged her. I married her, but I didn't give her a stable life. I overestimated myself for the sake of so-called morality and passion. It was my fault."

"So I probably won't appear in front of her and Qi Ran again from now on. Could you please look after them for me?"

Qi Lin had always thought he was about to die, so he didn't appear in front of Qi Ran and Liu Qian at first.

He had already died once, and had already made Liu Qian and Qi Ran grieve for him once.

If that's the case, why make his mother and son suffer again?

The best course of action is to make them believe that Qi Lin is dead.

Qi Yu knew what Qi Lin was thinking, but didn't know what to say.

Qi Lin also walked towards the main gate and then disappeared into the rainy night.

A gust of wind blew in, extinguishing the flames of the oil lamps and candles, plunging the hall into darkness.

Qi Yu remained seated on the stool, looking out into the courtyard.

From what he just said, it's clear that Qi Lin has a strong will to die; his words sound like he's giving his last words.

Qi Yu was certain that he would not merge with the Corpse God.

Qi Lin felt no value in his existence; Qi Ran and Liu Qian didn't need him right now.

He couldn't sense that anyone needed him.

He felt that he was not needed by anyone, so he would not merge with the Corpse God.

Qi Yu didn't know how to comfort him!
