【“She definitely went to learn this from her mother Shi Tiange.”】

【“Otherwise, there’s no way she could come up with a trick like knocking through the wall to connect two rooms!”】

【“Wait... Aunt Du, are you really this open-minded?”】

【“Not even married yet, and you’re already letting your own daughter be this bold?”】

【“Or is it that you trust my character that much?”】

【Ye Yu’s expression shifted repeatedly as he stood at the doorway, unsure whether he should step in.】

【At that moment, Cui Yanshui spoke first and broke the stalemate.】

【“How long do you plan to stand outside? I’m not concerned about you. I’m worried some divine attendants or maids might see you and start gossiping behind your back—saying your cultivation is lacking and your body is lacking too. That wouldn’t be good for either of our reputations!”】

【Hearing this, Ye Yu didn’t hesitate at all and stepped straight into the room!】

【A man, no matter when or where, absolutely cannot allow others to say he is lacking!】

【Besides, she isn’t even afraid—so why should he be?】

【Thinking this, Ye Yu clasped his hands behind his back, strode up to Cui Yanshui, and asked, “What are you reading?”】

【Cui Yanshui placed the book in front of him and said calmly, “This is the marriage etiquette manual sent by the female officials of the Divine City. It explains how to have a divine child in the shortest time. My mother told me to study it carefully. Do you want to take a look as well?”】

【At that moment, Ye Yu’s entire mind went blank!】

【Damn it, why does something like that exist in the God Realm?】

【Is this really something unmarried people are supposed to read?】

【Outrageous, absolutely outrageous!】

【Ye Yu decisively pushed the book back.】

【“I’ll pass. Our relationship is fake anyway. There’s no point in reading something like that.”】

【Cui Yanshui shook her head. “That’s not quite right. Some things are better understood in advance, so you don’t end up knowing nothing when the time actually comes.”】

【Ye Yu really felt like scratching his head now.】

【“Talking like that... isn’t very appropriate. I’m known for having poor self-control. Aren’t you worried about what might happen late at night, with just a man and a woman?”】

【Cui Yanshui stared at him for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold laugh.】

【“Heh.”】

【“Heh?”】

【“Heh heh?”】

【Sometimes, a single tone particle can carry many different meanings!】

【Ye Yu grew quite irritated. He immediately grabbed Cui Yanshui’s wrist, intending to show her just how serious the consequences of that tone could be!】

【Cui Yanshui, however, showed no intention of resisting. She simply looked at Ye Yu calmly.】

【As if she didn’t care at all!】

【At that moment, a heavy cough sounded from outside the door.】

【Ye Yu and Cui Yanshui turned their heads to look. Cui Baisheng was standing at the doorway, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.】

【Clearly, he was extremely dissatisfied with what he had just seen!】

【So Ye Yu immediately released Cui Yanshui’s wrist and explained on his own, “Uncle, we were just joking around.”】

【After a moment of silence, Cui Baisheng spoke with extreme brevity.】

【“Talk.”】

【Faced with this “invitation,” Ye Yu had no way to refuse and could only follow Cui Baisheng out.】

【Watching their departing figures, Cui Yanshui couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.】

【Honestly, when Ye Yu grabbed her wrist just now, she had been incredibly nervous.】

【She simply didn’t show it to save face!】

【But why did Father come over at this time?】

【According to his usual habits, he should have already been cultivating by now!】

【Cui Yanshui couldn’t figure it out no matter how much she thought about it.】

【Meanwhile, Cui Baisheng brought Ye Yu to the backyard garden of their residence.】

【The two sat on stone stools and once again fell into silence!】

【Their gazes avoided each other—truly a case of “kings not meeting kings!”】

【The starry sky, the moonlight, the blooming flowers!】

【All three were beautiful, but if you added a middle-aged man into the scene, it instantly became far less beautiful!】

【Ye Yu was extremely displeased inside!】

【Didn’t you say we were going to talk? Why are you playing the silent game now that we’re out here?】

【Aunt Du was right—you’re the kind of person who can’t be coaxed into saying a word even with three kicks!】

【Anyway, even if he spoke first, Cui Baisheng would kill the conversation. In that case, he might as well imitate him and stay silent to see what he really wanted!】

【Having made up his mind, Ye Yu sat quietly and admired the moon.】

【The two of them sat like that in the garden for an entire night. Even when the blazing sun rose again, neither of them had said a single word!】

【Ye Yu slowly stood up and stretched his stiff body.】

【This old guy is really trying to make me sit myself to death!】

【Cui Baisheng remained in the same posture and said in a deep voice, “Some things are better left undone before marriage. Once you are formally married, then you may speak of them. Understood?”】

【Some words sound like a question, but in reality, there is no room for negotiation—just like now!】

【When Cui Baisheng spoke, divine power surged around him. It was clear he had no intention of giving Ye Yu any choice!】

【However, Ye Yu didn’t mind at all.】

【After all, this marriage was fake to begin with. That kind of thing was never going to happen anyway!】

【So Ye Yu answered very straightforwardly.】

【“Sure, of course. But Uncle, you didn’t have to go through all this trouble. You could’ve just said it directly when we met. No need to sit here all night.”】

【This frank attitude surprised Cui Baisheng. He waved his hand and said, “Alright. You may go.”】

【Ye Yu didn’t linger and left immediately!】

【After he left, Du Minghui suddenly appeared beside Cui Baisheng and said with a hint of annoyance, “Honestly, why did you have to drag Yu’er to sit here all night? If young people truly like each other, why stop them?”】

【“Stop talking. Help me up—my back hurts!”】

【Cui Baisheng had already been pushed to his limits!】

【For a middle-aged man, back pain was the most unbearable thing.】

【Du Minghui looked at him with disdain but still reached out and pulled him up.】

【He stretched his body slightly and finally felt a bit better.】

【However, his expression did not relax at all.】

【He said in a heavy tone, “That boy isn’t simple. He agreed too quickly—there must be something suspicious going on.”】

【Du Minghui tapped his head lightly.】

【“Both our daughter and Yu’er are already engaged. Whatever they want to do is their business. Instead of worrying about that, you should take better care of your back so you don’t end up lacking when it matters!”】

【Hearing this, Cui Baisheng’s old face flushed red!】

【Meanwhile, on the other side, as Ye Yu was returning, he casually opened the Cloud Nurturing Compass to check on Qi Yuan.】

【To his surprise, the moment it opened, he saw her sitting atop a cloud, staring at a portrait of him.】

【Who gave that to her?】

【Before Ye Yu could ask, he heard a bright voice from ahead.】

【“May I ask... are you Ye Yu, my brother-in-law?”】
