My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

After standing at the door for a while, Qi Yu finally sighed helplessly.

He was who he was; he never thought he was 'Qi Yu,' and he asked himself if he had deceived Su Yue.

Regardless, his feelings for Su Yue were genuine and without any pretense.

He entered the house and then went straight to the inner room.

The door to the inner room was open. Su Yue was doing needlework, and Xu Shuqin was also there, coaxing the two children to take a nap.

Noticing Qi Yu, Xu Shuqin smiled at him and then waved.

"Yu'er, come quickly and see, this is the longevity lock I gave the child!"

Qi Yu nodded and walked to the cradle as instructed. Looking at the two children in the cradle, he saw that they were indeed wearing longevity locks.

"Thank you, Mother-in-law!" Qi Yu said with a smile.

Xu Shuqin nodded, then played with the two children.

Su Yue only glanced at Qi Yu at first, then continued embroidering.

Qi Yu spent some time with the child, then stood up and looked at Su Yue.

Su Yue noticed Qi Yu's gaze, but pretended not to see it and continued embroidering the fabric in her hands.

Qi Yu and Su Yue remained silent; only Xu Shuqin and the children's laughter could be heard.

Gradually, Xu Shuqin also sensed something was amiss and couldn't help but look at Qi Yu and Su Yue.

Her intuition told her that the atmosphere between Qi Yu and her daughter was very strange; they must have had a fight.

Looking at it now, it seems a bit like the Cold War?

Without thinking, Xu Shuqin looked at Su Yue, instinctively assuming that Su Yue was bullying Qi Yu again.

She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh helplessly in the end.

"Why don't you watch the child? I'm going out for a walk!"

What's needed now is for Qi Yu and Su Yue to be alone together; her presence here won't serve any purpose.

Su Yue nodded slightly, which was taken as an agreement.

Xu Shuqin went out, and Su Yue put down her needlework, walked past Qi Yu, then squatted down next to the cradle, took a rattle, and gently shook it to lull the child to sleep.

Qi Yu looked at Su Yue's gentle appearance, her eyelids slightly lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

"My wife, I'm leaving!"

Su Yue paused for a moment, and the rattle drum stopped for a second, but she quickly realized what was happening and nodded.

"understood!"

Su Yue's voice was somewhat indifferent, as if she didn't care much.

Qi Yu frowned at Su Yue's reaction.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Su Yue said calmly, "What's there to say? If I say I want you to stay, will you stay?"

She already knew about the events of the Li Huo Dynasty, including the appearance of the Ghost General and the Quasi-Saint Beast. Only Qi Yu could resolve the situation, so Qi Yu had to go.

Moreover, her statement had a double meaning.

It seems to be talking about the current situation of Taoism, but at the same time it is also talking about the future.

Qi Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Su Yue's profile, and said seriously, "Yes, as long as you say the word, I won't go anywhere. I just need your word!"

Su Yue froze, her hands stopped moving, and she turned around in astonishment to look at Qi Yu, unable to say a word.

Qi Yu was willing to give up his responsibilities as head coach and his promise to his predecessor for his own sake.

But soon, Su Yue realized what was happening and turned her head away.

How can you expect me to believe what you say?

Qi Yu's breathing quickened slightly; he was getting angry. When did Su Yue become so suspicious? So unreasonable?

"You'd rather believe Lin Ruoxi, that crazy woman who hurt you and your child, than believe me, your husband who we married and have spent three years together, is that it?"

Su Yue's unusual behavior all started after she met Lin Ruoxi.

Su Yue fell silent, answering Qi Yu's question with silence.

Qi Yu could no longer tolerate Su Yue's behavior. He strode forward, grabbed Su Yue from beside the cradle, shook her by the shoulders, and roared:

"What exactly do you want from me? Does it matter who I am? You're not even willing to give me the most basic trust anymore, are you?"

Before Su Yue could answer, Qi Yu's roar startled the two children, who burst into tears.

Su Yue raised her hand, trying to push Qi Yu away, break free from Qi Yu's grip, and comfort the child.

But Qi Yu was now burning with anger, and he used some force, so Su Yue couldn't break free at all.

"Let me go! Ji'er and Wen'er are crying!" Su Yue frowned and scolded.

Qi Yu didn't let go; on the contrary, he tightened his grip even more.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do? You've been acting very strangely since you met Lin Ruoxi. What exactly did that woman say to you?"

The two children's cries grew louder and louder. Su Yue was anxious and kept squirming, trying to get away from Qi Yu, and didn't listen to Qi Yu's words at all.

"I told you to let me go, didn't you hear me?" Su Yue snapped.

Snapped!

A crisp slap rang out, momentarily drowning out the child's cries.

Su Yue's hand was still in mid-air, her expression somewhat blank, as if she couldn't believe she had hit Qi Yu.

Qi Yu tilted his head slightly, his hair falling down and obscuring his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

His cheek was struck hard, leaving a red mark that gradually swelled up, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, showing how severe Su Yue's slap had been.

This is the second time Su Yue has hit herself!

The first time was because of the child. Su Yue complained that she hadn't brought Qi Ji back, so she was slapped.

Why is it now?

Qi Yu didn't know, and perhaps even Su Yue herself didn't know, but does it even matter?

It doesn't matter anymore!

Qi Yu loosened his grip on Su Yue's arm, and his arms slowly slid down. Then he raised his right hand and used the back of his right hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Su Yue's mouth was slightly open, her red lips were a little pale and trembling slightly, and even her fingers were shaking.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, with only the sound of children crying echoing.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths!

On the fourth breath, Su Yue finally reacted and subconsciously raised her hand to touch the red mark on Qi Yu's face, but before she could raise it, Qi Yu had already turned around.

"I'm sorry, I hurt you. I have to go now. Please take care of the child!"

After Qi Yu finished speaking, he walked towards the door and then out of the inner room.

Su Yue's face was pale, her eyes were somewhat vacant, and she subconsciously ignored even the baby's crying.

She struck Qi Yu, and quite hard, even using her inner energy.

When did she become so unreasonable?

Coming to her senses, Su Yue hurriedly rushed out of the inner room and then out of the courtyard, looking around for Qi Yu.

No matter how hard she searched, Qi Yu was nowhere to be found.

Su Yue's face was pale, and a sense of panic was spreading through her; she was afraid.

That slap not only struck Qi Yu, but also his heart.

Since returning yesterday, she has been thinking about her conversation with Lin Ruoxi, so she is in a state of confusion.

She wasn't angry with Qi Yu; she just didn't know how to face him.

Even if Qi Yu weren't Qi Yu, she wouldn't waver because of this, after all, the person she loves is the one who has been with her for three years.

She knows exactly what she wants!

What truly shook her was what Lin Ruoxi showed her. If it was true, then she would have to make the most difficult choice.

She knew what choice she would make, which was why she was struggling with it; she wasn't angry with Qi Yu.

Because she was conflicted, she ignored Qi Yu and then slapped him.

She seems to have done something really outrageous!

I returned to the house dejectedly. The child had stopped crying and was now whimpering, drifting off to sleep.

Xu Shuqin put the sleeping Qi Ji back into the cradle, then covered the two children with blankets before looking at the distraught Su Yue.

"Come out with me!"

Xu Shuqin said this and then walked past Su Yue.

Su Yue glanced at the child, then turned and followed her mother out of the inner room.

Xu Shuqin sat down on a chair in the hall and looked at Su Yue indifferently.

"Yue'er, what's wrong with you? Ever since you came back last night, you've been cold and distant towards Yu'er, and now you've even hit him?"

Although she disliked Su Chengying and often hit him, deep down she still felt sorry for him and always held back when she hit him.

But when Su Yue made her move just now, she used her true energy, didn't she?

It's only because Qi Yu has a strong physique that he's able to survive; an ordinary person would have been slapped to death long ago.

She didn't know what had happened between Su Yue and Qi Yu, but she had been listening for a while and had a slight understanding of it.

From beginning to end, it was always her daughter who was giving Qi Yu the cold shoulder.

Qi Yu's words, "I only need one word from you," were already very thoughtful, but Su Yue trampled on Qi Yu's feelings and chose to turn a blind eye.

Su Yue lowered her head, her eyes still somewhat blank. She was now regretting that if she had killed Lin Ruoxi the moment she saw her yesterday and ignored her nonsense, she wouldn't have witnessed those things.

She will continue to love Qi Yu, trust him, protect him, and spoil him!
