My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Qi Yu had just reached the foot of the mountain with his umbrella when he saw a person standing under a teahouse sheltering from the rain. Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he couldn't see the face clearly, he knew who it was.

Qi Yu hurried over, and Su Yue was also looking over.

"Husband, what brings you here?" Su Yue blinked, asking in surprise.

Qi Yu folded his umbrella, then stood next to Su Yue and said expressionlessly, "I've finished eating and came out for a walk. I didn't come because I was worried about you and saw it was raining!"

Glug glug~

Qi Yu's stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment. He had only eaten a bowl of noodles this morning and had also done strenuous exercise at noon, so he was already starving.

"Why does this thunder sound so much like a rumbling stomach?" Qi Yu said, looking at the sky.

Su Yue looked at Qi Yu with a half-smile, as if to say, "Can't you just say you've come to see me?"

However, considering how much he cares, I won't expose his flimsy lie.

“Yes! This thunder is really strange. I think I’m a little hungry. Husband, let’s go home!” Su Yue said.

Qi Yu nodded, then handed the umbrella to Su Yue and took Su Yue's basket.

Su Yue held an umbrella in one hand and took Qi Yu's arm with the other as they walked out of the teahouse.

After the two people left, a man suddenly appeared in the teahouse. He was wearing a black robe, had gray hair, and had an extraordinary air about him.

He glanced at Qi Yu and Su Yue's departing figures, remained silent, and then looked towards the mountains.

"Two little brats, why are you slaughtering civilians within the borders of my Great Yun Dynasty? If you don't give a reason, you're not leaving today!"

"Old man, trying to bully people just because you're old! You're just a second-rank martial artist, how dare you speak so arrogantly?"

A woman's voice echoed, and then a man and a woman braved the rain to walk out of the forest.

Looking at their attire, the old man narrowed his eyes and said, "This is not your Blood God Sect's territory, little brat. Think twice before you speak, you know?"

The girl was about to say something, but the young man stopped her.

The young man bowed to the old man and said, "Senior, my brother and I were just passing by when we encountered those bandits. We were forced to take action!"

The old man naturally didn't believe them, but the young man in front of him had already given him enough face and provided an explanation, so he didn't want to break ties with the Blood God Sect.

In recent years, in particular, the Blood God Sect has risen to prominence, becoming a giant among the demonic sects. If a real war were to break out, even if the Great Yun Dynasty were to win, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.

"I've heard that your sect's Holy Maiden has already broken through the first rank and reached the Grandmaster realm?" the old man asked.

The young man smiled and said, "It's all rumors. The Holy Maiden is only a first-rank, not a grandmaster."

"Is that so? That's truly a pity. Otherwise, with the age of your sect's Holy Maiden, she would have been old enough to break the record for the youngest Grandmaster!" the old man sighed.

"Hehe, what a pity!" The young man sighed and shook his head, then said, "If there's nothing else, senior, I'll take my leave now!"

The old man nodded without saying anything.

These two dolls are only of the third rank; he's confident he can take them down in a fight.

However, the other party is from the Blood God Cult, so the risk of starting a fight is too great.

Especially given the recent rumors of the Blood God Cult's Holy Maiden breaking through to the Grandmaster level, he dared not take the risk.

The Grandmaster is the dream of all martial artists. He had spent most of his life cultivating and only reached the second rank.

I have no hope of becoming a grandmaster in this lifetime!

A grandmaster can support a large force.

The Blood God Cult became a giant among demonic cultivators not only because of the wisdom and prowess of its current leader, but also because of his daughter.

That saintess who is suspected of becoming a grandmaster!

However, this saintess is extremely mysterious. No one has ever seen her. Even the Blood God Cult members have only seen her figure with a thin veil covering her face.

No one knows her name, but since she is the daughter of the Blood God Cult leader, she should have the same surname as her father.

The leader of the Blood God Cult has the surname Dongfang and the given name Wuying; he is a very powerful figure.

Chapter Four: Repaying Kindness

Su Yue and Qi Yu strolled in the rain, walking side by side, their shoulders occasionally touching. A wonderful feeling spread through them, and Qi Yu felt great.

"My wife, shall we make a deal?" Qi Yu said.

"What?" Su Yue asked.

"I want to sleep in my room tonight!" Qi Yu said.

Su Yue rolled her eyes at Qi Yu and said, "Sure! Answer me one question first!"

"What's the problem?" Qi Yu asked eagerly, his face beaming with joy.

As long as I can go back to sleep, I'd be happy to do ten things, let alone one!

"If your colleague invites you to a brothel next time, will you still go?" Su Yue asked.

Qi Yu thought for a moment and said, "We'll see!"

"Then you should sleep in the woodshed!" Su Yue said.

Qi Yu, with a crestfallen face, said, "My wife! I really didn't do anything at the brothel, just drank tea and played chess, I swear to God!"

"Then why are you the one paying?" Su Yue countered.

Qi Yu sighed and said, "If I don't give them money, those girls won't earn a single penny. In this world, no one has it easy."

“I can go to the brothels with them, but I can’t do what they do and oppress ordinary people.”

Su Yue sighed helplessly; her husband was really...

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time. You can go back to your room and sleep!"

Qi Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this. Finally! He wouldn't have to share a bed with rats and cockroaches in the woodshed anymore!

"Wife, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a bit?" Qi Yu asked solicitously.

Su Yue glanced at Qi Yu, then burst out laughing.

Her husband can be quite shameless and shameless at times, but she doesn't dislike him.

At least, he was sincere, and his feelings for himself were pure, without any other impurities.

"Husband, come with me to visit my parents' home in a few days!" Su Yue said.

Qi Yu's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a pained expression. "Can I not go?" he said.

"Then you should continue sleeping in the woodshed!" Su Yue said.

"Fine, I'll go with you, okay? At worst, I'll have my father-in-law and brother-in-law break my bones," Qi Yu said helplessly.

"That's why you need to train more. You're too weak; you can't even beat me!" Su Yue laughed.

Qi Yu had no way to refute it, because it was the truth.

Su Yue's entire family practices martial arts: her parents practice martial arts, her brothers practice martial arts, and she herself practices martial arts, and they are all very skilled.

When he first went to propose marriage and give betrothal gifts, he was almost beaten to death. And every time he accompanied her back home, his father-in-law would find all sorts of reasons to torture him.

"You said a few days? It's not the day after tomorrow, is it?" Qi Yu asked, remembering something.

Su Yue paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's the day after tomorrow. What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Qi Yu was free that day; he could take leave from the yamen without any problem.

"It's your father-in-law's fiftieth birthday, right?" Qi Yu asked.

Su Yue looked at Qi Yu in surprise, then nodded and asked, "How did you know?"

She and Qi Yu had only been married for a year, and she didn't even know Qi Yu at her father's last birthday celebration!

Qi Yu didn't explain, because when he wanted to marry Su Yue, he had put in a lot of effort to understand her family.

"Then I'm doomed if I go there?" Qi Yu said helplessly.

"How could we be doomed?" Su Yue asked, puzzled.

"I didn't prepare any birthday gifts!" Qi Yu said.

Su Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Is that all? Don't worry, I've prepared everything. You can just carry it with you when you get there!"

“I don’t think that’s appropriate. I think I should personally present my father-in-law with a generous gift!” Qi Yu said.

"What do you want to give as a gift?" Su Yue asked.

Qi Yu smiled, then lowered his head and whispered in Su Yue's ear.

How about we give him a grandson?

Su Yue blinked, then her face immediately turned red with embarrassment. She slapped Qi Yu's head away and pretended to punch him.

But Qi Yu ran out, getting soaked in the light rain, and made a face at Su Yue.

"Hehehe, can't hit it, hahaha!"

After saying that, Qi Yu turned and ran, letting the rain soak him.

Su Yue puffed out her cheeks, then sighed helplessly, and finally laughed as she followed Qi Yu.

Even though they lived in a small courtyard and led a simple life, they were still very happy with Qi Yu.

……

When the couple returned to their courtyard, it was already evening, and every household had lit candles and lanterns.

To Qi Yu and Su Yue's surprise, there was a fire in their own yard.

Qi Yu subconsciously pulled Su Yue behind him, then picked up a wooden stick about the thickness of an arm, pushed open the courtyard gate, and went inside.

When Qi Yu saw the people in the courtyard, he was slightly taken aback and looked at the three people sitting at the stone table in the courtyard drinking tea with surprise.

The three people in the courtyard looked at the wooden stick in Qi Yu's hand with strange expressions.

It seems they mistook them for thieves!

It's understandable, though, they arrived at dawn and have been waiting ever since.

Qi Yu casually tossed the wooden stick aside, looked at Li Ming with a helpless expression.
