Ye Yu immediately noticed something unusual about Qi Yuan.
He instinctively thought there might still be an expert nearby preparing an ambush, so he turned around at once, wrapped an arm around her waist, and placed her behind him.
The entire sequence flowed smoothly, filled with a strong protective instinct.
But when Ye Yu turned and saw who had arrived, his expression instantly became extremely awkward.
Cui Yanshui stood suspended in the air, looking at the two of them with a cold gaze.
Though she said nothing, the pressure she exuded was even greater.
The calm before a volcanic eruption.
At this moment, Qi Yuan no longer had the confidence she showed when facing Dong Susu.
Instead, she felt like someone who had secretly taken another person’s clothes while they were not at home.
Under that calm gaze, Qi Yuan felt uncomfortable all over and hurriedly explained in a low voice, "Actually... this is a misunderstanding. The senior and I, we... we have nothing going on!"
Ye Yu covered his face with one hand.
An explanation is a disguise, and a disguise is the truth.
With that tone and such a pale explanation, it was basically shouting guilt.
Just as Ye Yu was about to add something, Cui Yanshui spoke in a low voice, "Come. We’re going home."
Three simple words, impossible to discern any emotion.
Ye Yu frowned slightly.
There was a principle between partners—if you were weak, she would be strong; if you were strong, she would be weak.
There was no absolute balance. Only the strong remained strong.
Thus, if a man wanted to take charge, he had to establish his authority from the very beginning.
For example—right now.
Ye Yu placed his hands on his hips, about to boldly declare, "I’m not going—"
When suddenly, a powerful force pushed him from behind, causing him to stumble forward.
"Senior, didn’t you hear Sister Cui calling you? Hurry and go!"
Ye Yu was completely stunned.
Wait—Qi Yuan, why are you being so obedient?
And you’re calling her Sister Cui?
When did you two become so close? How did I not know?
Seeing that Ye Yu remained where he was, full of shock and unwilling to move—
Qi Yuan grew anxious and immediately used a divine technique to send him directly to Cui Yanshui’s side.
That level of service was truly unmatched.
Now standing beside Cui Yanshui, Ye Yu turned back in disbelief to look at Qi Yuan, then glanced at his wife.
His eyes were full of confusion.
Before he could think further, Cui Yanshui, who was leading the way ahead, said calmly, "There’s no need for you two to sneak around like this. Don’t worry. After fifty years—no, after a hundred years—I will allow you to be together openly."
Hearing this, Ye Yu was instantly displeased.
"Who’s sneaking around? We’re completely innocent. There’s nothing between us. We only met by chance, and a lot just happened!"
Cui Yanshui let out a cold laugh and said nothing further.
Innocent?
Judging from that girl Qi Yuan’s behavior, there was no way they were innocent.
Hmph. Such an inexperienced mind.
I said a hundred years, and you really plan to wait a hundred years, not even daring to visit Ye Yu at the Cui family or Xuanji Hall once.
Aren’t you afraid I might be deceiving you?
But perhaps that was for the best.
A simple mind brings more happiness—no need to worry about complicated matters.
That was good.
A trace of sorrow flashed through Cui Yanshui’s eyes.
Ye Yu, however, did not think that far ahead and quickly began explaining what had just happened.
When Cui Yanshui heard that the Hidden Sea Divine Alliance had already sent people to capture Ye Yu, she suddenly stopped.
A terrifying wave of divine power erupted from her body.
"Lowly ants... dare to lay a hand on you?"
At that moment, Ye Yu felt an overwhelming killing intent unlike anything before.
Only then did he truly feel how much Cui Yanshui cared about him.
This seemed to be the first time she had genuinely become angry.
For him.
Ye Yu felt deeply moved and was about to say it was fine—
But in the next instant, his body shifted.
With a single hand seal from Cui Yanshui, space tore open, and the two of them instantly arrived at the Cui family.
Immediately after, a massive bronze bell atop the main peak rang out.
All members of the Cui family immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed toward the main peak.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, more than thirty branches of the Cui family had gathered.
Cui Yanshui spoke only a single sentence, yet it completed the entire pre-war mobilization.
"The Hidden Sea Divine Alliance has provoked the dignity of the Cui family. Their crime warrants death. Today, we depart. If we do not annihilate the Divine Alliance, we shall not return!"
A short sentence—but enough to make the remaining thirty-plus members of the God Clan willingly go to war against an entire Divine Alliance for her.
Such cohesion within a great family—perhaps even Cui Baisheng had never achieved it in his lifetime.
Watching the Cui family members depart in great force—
Ye Yu originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Cui Yanshui.
"To lay a hand on you is to strike the face of the Cui family. This is a matter of life and death. The Cui family will avenge it. Stay here and wait. Within ten days, I will give you an answer."
After saying this, Cui Yanshui left with the family branches, not giving Ye Yu any chance to say more.
Seeing this, Ye Yu quickly returned to Xuanji Hall to call for reinforcements.
After all, the Cui family only had a few dozen members left.
To face a Divine Alliance with nearly a thousand members—it was no different from courting death.
Ye Yu believed it was necessary to help preserve a few seeds for his wife’s family.
Thus, the people of Xuanji Hall had to step in.
When Shi Tiange and Ye Zhendong heard that Ye Yu had been attacked, they were immediately enraged.
"The Hidden Sea Divine Alliance—do they really think I can no longer lift a blade?"
Shi Tiange immediately summoned two hundred elite members of the God Clan, preparing to join the Cui family and flatten the Hidden Sea Divine Alliance together.
However, there was one condition.
Ye Yu was not allowed to go.
There was no helping it.
Even though Ye Yu could now cultivate, in Shi Tiange’s eyes, he was still the child who needed protection.
A war against a Divine Alliance would inevitably be brutal.
She feared she would not have the capacity to protect him if something went wrong.
Thus, leaving him at home from the beginning was the best choice.
Ye Yu immediately protested and revealed that he had already entered the Golden God Realm.
Shi Tiange was surprised, but did not change her decision.
"Either we go and you stay, or you go alone to the Hidden Sea Divine Alliance and I do nothing. Choose."
Rationally, Ye Yu knew the first option was correct.
Shi Tiange was a veteran Divine Monarch Realm expert. Combined with two hundred elite members of Xuanji Hall, they would have decisive influence on the battle.
Left with no choice, Ye Yu could only remain in Xuanji Hall and wait for news.
Ye Zhendong, who also did not go, smiled and said, "With your wife going to war, it’s not bad for us to guard the home. The woman handles the outside, the man handles the inside."
Ye Yu rolled his eyes and said nothing.
