My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

This was caused by the claws of the Corpse God!

Su Yue stepped into the hot spring water and sat down directly in the center, her entire body submerged, with only her head and a little bit of her shoulders exposed.

Su Yue closed her eyes and circulated her inner energy to heal her injuries.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, its light shining down and bringing light to the darkness. The entire Blood God Island was bathed in moonlight.

In the grove of trees beside the hot spring, under the shade of the trees where the moonlight couldn't reach, Qi Yu stood alone, his long, silvery-white hair swaying gently in the sea breeze.

He had already been to Blood God Island and seen the child since Su Yue returned.

Even the children were put to sleep by him.

He could see Su Yue's injuries clearly, and while he felt heartache, he was also somewhat angry.

The Beast God, the Ghost King, and Lin Ruoxi are all powerful figures.

Even if Su Yue is powerful, she can't fight alone; two fists can't fight four hands.

Su Yue is not a god; she can get hurt, get tired, and become exhausted.

If I'm gone, will she be able to protect herself?

With a sigh, Qi Yu stepped out of the shade and came to the hot spring, to where Su Yue had laid out her clothes.

Hiding is pointless, because Su Yue has already discovered him, she just hasn't exposed him.

He took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, uncorked it, tilted his hand slightly, and poured it into the hot spring.

This is something Qi Yu found in the Tianya Haige Treasure Vault; it can heal injuries, no matter how severe.

Qi Yu put away the empty porcelain bottle, turned around, and walked towards the mountain path, preparing to descend the mountain.

Su Yue opened her eyes at this moment, looking at Qi Yu with his silver hair and stubble, her eyelids drooping slightly.

"You don't even have the courage to face me now?"

Su Yue's cool and calm voice rang out, and Qi Yu's body paused slightly, and he pulled his raised foot back.

"Isn't your responsibility to kill me?" Qi Yu said calmly.

I didn't quite understand why Su Yue changed so quickly before, but now I can guess a little.

Guigu was the predecessor of Qingxuan Valley, so Qingxuan Valley should know about these transmigrators.

As the successor of Qingxuan Valley, it is Su Yue's responsibility to hunt down this transmigrator.

"So you're scared?" Su Yue asked.

Qi Yu gave a bitter smile and said, "My body has reached its limit. Dying at your hands seems like a good option."

"But I know you won't kill me, and I can't let you kill me either. I've already promised Ouyang Ruoxue that she will end my life!"

She made a pact with Ouyang Ruoxue that she would end her own life, as a way of avenging their Purple Qi Pavilion.

"Do you still remember when you became a Wen Zun and were poisoned, you promised me that no matter what, you would face any difficulties with me?" Su Yue asked.

Qi Yu nodded and said, "I remember!"

At that time, a plague broke out in Jiangzhou City, so he sent Su Yue back to her parents' home, for which Su Yue resented him for a while.

"I love you, and that has never changed, so I will kill you!" Su Yue's expression was calm and resolute.

Qi Yu smiled helplessly, but deep down he felt quite warm.

"Because you love me, you want to kill me?" Qi Yu was both amused and exasperated. He turned around and looked at Su Yue.

"To love you is to kill you"—is this a praying mantis?

Su Yue nodded and said seriously, "That's right, so I will definitely kill you!"

Qi Yu sighed, both amused and exasperated. What kind of bizarre thought process was this?

"Why must you kill me? Shouldn't loving me mean protecting me?" Qi Yu asked, puzzled.

“Killing you is the best way to protect you!” Su Yue said earnestly.

Qi Yu listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion. Su Yue had changed since she met Lin Ruoxi three months ago, and he still didn't know the reason for her change.

"Aren't you going to make a move now? I'm right here, and you know I won't fight back!"

Su Yue shook her head and said, "Now is not the time, I am not ready!"

Qi Yu raised an eyebrow, asking suspiciously, "Ready? Ready for what?"

Su Yue stared into Qi Yu's eyes and said seriously, "I will kill you, my husband, and then send you back. Your soul does not belong here!"

Qi Yu frowned. Send him back?

Is this what Su Yue has been preparing for?

What if I don't want to go back?

"Then you will die, a real death, even worse than death!"

Su Yue's tone was very calm, and calmness represents confidence and assurance. Su Yue's words were based on evidence.

Qi Yu fell silent; he had finally understood.

If he hadn't died at Su Yue's hands, his soul would have met a very tragic end.

"How long do you need to prepare?" Qi Yu asked.

“Half a month!” Su Yue replied.

Half a month!

Qi Yu fell silent, realizing his limit was one month.

He had been waiting for Ouyang Ruoxue to emerge from seclusion for the past few days. If she did emerge before his death, he would keep his promise.

If she remains in seclusion until her death, then Qi Yu will be powerless to help her.

Qi Yu smiled and said, "Then let's postpone it to a month later. If Ouyang Ruoxue hasn't come out of seclusion yet, then I'll have to trouble you to see me off!"

Ouyang Ruoxue followed Qi Yu around for two months, during which time Qi Yu had passed on all of the relevant experience of the Second Saint to her.

If even this can't get her out of seclusion before her time is up, then she can't be blamed for breaking her promise.

……

Qi Yu went back to the attic first; he needed to have a good talk with Su Yue.

Qi Yu moved a stool over and sat down next to the two children. Looking at the children, who had obviously grown up a bit, Qi Yu smiled gently.

Su Yue took good care of the two siblings, and they both grew up to be fair-skinned and chubby.

The two children were sleeping soundly when a sea breeze suddenly blew in from the window. Qi Wen frowned, reached her little hand out of the cup, and punched her older brother Qi Ji in the face.

Qi Yu was startled, thinking Qi Ji would cry, but he just waved his hand and then fell back asleep.

Qi Yu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

This person has a real knack for being thick-skinned; they're so thick that even a beating won't wake them up.

After covering the child with a blanket, Qi Yu got up and went to close the window.

When Qi Yu closed the window and turned around, Su Yue, dressed in a pale yellow dress, was standing behind him.

Qi Yu looked at Su Yue's clothes, narrowed his eyes, and thought back for a moment.

This outfit seems to be a gift I gave to Su Yue.

I drew the design sketches for this dress myself, and then asked a famous embroiderer in Jiangzhou City to sew it.

Moreover, that embroiderer seemed to have a connection with Qin Xiyao, though Qi Yu didn't pay much attention to the specifics.

"Let's talk!" Su Yue said calmly.

Qi Yu snapped out of his thoughts and nodded.

Su Yue gave Qi Yu a wink, signaling him to follow her out.

Qi Yu glanced at the two children in the cradle, nodded, and followed Su Yue down from the attic.

After descending from the attic, Su Yue stopped in the hall, her back to Qi Yu.

Qi Yu came down the stairs and walked behind Su Yue.

But just as he got close, Su Yue suddenly turned around, raised her hand, and slapped Qi Yu across the face.

Snapped!

Su Yue's slap was quite heavy; Qi Yu was so struck by the force that he lost his balance and stumbled back two steps.

Qi Yuguang was caught off guard and didn't understand why he had been slapped.

Qi Yu steadied himself, and a fragrant breeze wafted towards him. Su Yue had already thrown herself into his arms, her hands slipping under his armpits, and hugged him tightly.

This sudden turn of events left Qi Yu unsure how to react.

She was slapped for no reason, and then Su Yue threw herself into his arms.

Qi Yu was about to say something when he heard Su Yue's soft sobs, and the words he was about to say stuck in his throat.

After a pause, he put his hands around Su Yue's shoulders and pulled her into his arms.

His body was completely cold, so he could clearly feel the warmth emanating from Su Yue.

He was once saved by this warmth.

It was Su Yue who brought him warmth and light.

"My wife, I..."

Although he signed the divorce papers, Qi Yu still couldn't change his mind; he wasn't as strong as he thought.

"You're the worst! I hate you the most!" Su Yue buried her face in Qi Yu's chest and sobbed.

"Why? Why didn't you say anything that day? I kept waiting for you to call my name. I would have turned around as soon as you did, but why didn't you call my name?"

Qi Yu held Su Yue's arms, feeling somewhat uncomfortable at home.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my fault!"

He didn't have much time left to live, and the problems he faced at that time were too serious. He didn't want to drag Su Yue down with him.

"You think I'll forgive you with just a few words? You only hurt me so recklessly because I like you, right?" Su Yue sneered, holding Qi Yu tightly.
