As Yu Buxia had said, Han Gu slightly parted his lips, as if he wanted to say something.
So Ye Yu instinctively bent down to listen.
“In front of everyone, how much longer are you going to keep holding my daughter? Let go, you bastard!”
Although his voice was extremely weak, the last two words were enunciated with crystal clarity.
Bone Ji did not hear the first half clearly, but she heard the last sentence perfectly.
Without hesitation, she stepped forward and kicked him square in the face.
“You dare insult my husband? Are you courting death?”
In an instant, the world fell silent.
Han Gu fainted on the spot.
Yu Buxia, Shen Fuxin, and Ye Yu all turned to look at Bone Ji in astonishment.
Sister, wasn’t that kick a bit reckless?
No matter what, he was Han Yuexi’s father.
Wasn’t that a little inappropriate?
Only then did Bone Ji realize she had acted impulsively. She immediately explained awkwardly, “Well... I just reacted on instinct. But you can’t blame me. Who told him to insult my husband out of nowhere?
It was a reflex. You can’t blame me for that.”
Hearing this, Shen Fuxin and Yu Buxia even nodded subconsciously.
Fair and reasonable. No problem there!
Ye Yu could not help but sigh. He cast a sympathetic look at Han Gu lying unconscious on the ground.
Old man, jokes are jokes, but don’t mess around in the Ye residence.
Watch what you say next time. It’s actually pretty dangerous here.
It had to be said—Bone Ji’s kick was powerful.
Han Gu remained unconscious for a full three hours before finally waking up.
And the first thing he did upon waking was begin reflecting on life.
It scared Ye Yu so much he thought the kick had knocked him silly.
He hurried forward and asked tentatively, “Do you still remember who I am?”
“You brat, get lost. I’m not senile yet!”
That single sentence instantly reassured Ye Yu.
Good. Fortunately, nothing serious had happened. He seemed fairly normal.
Ye Yu then explained what had just occurred.
Bone Ji had purely reacted on instinct—please don’t take it to heart.
Han Gu ignored the explanation and asked instead, “That girl Yuexi... she’s fine, right?”
“She’s fine. She’s doing well. She’ll probably wake up soon,” Ye Yu replied quickly.
Hearing this, Han Gu nodded.
“In that case, it’s settled. You saved my daughter’s life, and your wife kicked me once. Merits and faults cancel each other out.
Also, do you know why I was so angry when I first arrived?
I can’t stand the sight of you claiming you’re innocent with my daughter while hugging her tighter than anyone!”
Ye Yu curled his lips slightly.
“You think I wanted to hold her? If I let go, she would have fallen.”
“Then you couldn’t conjure a cloud to support her? A woman’s purity is more important than heaven!”
Han Gu immediately began arguing with conviction.
It had to be said—the old man actually had a point. It was hard to refute.
But conjuring an auspicious cloud to carry someone was not something Ye Yu knew how to do.
Looking at Han Gu blowing his beard and glaring, it was obvious he was stubborn to the core.
So Ye Yu had no intention of shouting back and arguing over right and wrong.
Whatever.
No matter what I say, you’ll think my relationship with your daughter is improper.
Might as well save my breath.
“It was already extremely difficult to find Han Yuexi this time. As for where Han Qianzhang is, I have no idea. You can search together with her.
After she wakes up, you may leave. The door is over there. I won’t see you out.”
Ye Yu made a polite gesture and effectively showed Han Gu the door.
After asking which room Han Yuexi was in, Han Gu immediately flicked his sleeve and left.
But at the doorway, he paused again and turned to look at Ye Yu.
“You brat, your character isn’t bad, but you are not a suitable match. If—”
Before he could finish, Ye Yu waved him off.
“You’re right. I’m not a suitable match. I know that very well.
In the future, I will draw a clear line between myself and Han Yuexi. We’ll go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other.
The words ‘Daoist partner’ will never appear in my life.”
Those words struck directly at Han Gu’s heart.
The old man immediately left in satisfaction.
Before departing, he even tidied up his hair.
Hah. A repressed old man.
Ye Yu curled his lips slightly, then began considering how to eliminate Heng Xuanzhen’s inner demon.
Bone Ji probably had experience with that.
After all, she had gone through something similar before.
Perhaps asking her would yield a new idea.
With that thought, Ye Yu rose to find Bone Ji.
Just then, a figure suddenly shot in through the window!
What the—
Ye Yu whipped his head around and saw that it was Han Yuexi!
There’s a front door. Why on earth are you coming through the window?
Before Ye Yu could ask, Han Yuexi was already smiling.
“It really is you. I sensed your aura just now, so I came.
Oh, right—where are your horns?”
Ye Yu’s expression instantly turned strange.
The current Han Yuexi was extremely approachable—almost innocent and carefree.
Completely different from before.
It was as if she had returned to how she was when they first met.
So this... is Han Yuexi’s humanity?
It seemed the nursery rhyme of light had been correct—humanity and divinity alternated.
To steady her, Ye Yu spoke softly, “My horns are gone. They were inconvenient, so I threw them away.”
“What nonsense are you saying? How can you just throw away the horns of the Demon Race? They’re a symbol of your identity!”
Humanity-side Han Yuexi was not reserved at all. She immediately pressed Ye Yu down into a seat and began rummaging through his hair with her hands.
Clearly, she suspected he had hidden the horns.
“Alright, alright, stop looking. They’re really gone now!”
Ye Yu directly grabbed her hands to stop her from moving.
Honestly, you keep ruffling my hair like that—it tickles.
What he did not notice was that Han Gu, who had supposedly left, had returned and was now standing outside the door.
The reason was simple.
He had not found Han Yuexi in the room Ye Yu had mentioned, so he came back to ask what was going on.
But before he could push the door open—
He heard voices inside.
“What a pity. They used to be so big and so black!”
“What’s there to pity? Do you have to keep rubbing them all the time?”
“Why not? I thought they felt pretty good!”
Hearing this, Han Gu’s blood pressure skyrocketed.
His head buzzed instantly.
He instinctively wanted to push the door open—but feared seeing something inappropriate.
So he could only cough angrily and shout sternly, “Ye Yu, come out here!”
Ye Yu was puzzled.
Why did he come back at this time?
Meanwhile, Han Yuexi immediately hid behind Ye Yu, only her eyes peeking out.
“How is my father here?”
