Bang!
"Ye-Wu-Di!"
Ding! Congratulations, Host has received 999 points of negative emotion from Hyuga Hiashi!
The moment Hyuga Hiashi finally realized that Ye Wudi was feeding dog food to his youngest daughter right before his eyes, he was utterly livid.
Without a word, he tore apart the unfortunate house servant standing in front of him with a single punch.
Open the door?
To hell with opening doors!
His precious youngest daughter, the future of the entire Hyuga clan, was being treated like this?
Unforgivable. Absolutely intolerable!
"You little brat, you've got some guts! It was bad enough you eloped with Hinata, but now you're even feeding dog food to Hanabi too?"
"Do you not understand? A wife is to be cherished. A sister-in-law is to be spoiled!"
"I'll say this once. If you can't give me a proper explanation today, don't even think about walking out the Hyuga compound!"
Boom!
Before everyone's eyes, in his righteous fury, Hyuga Hiashi activated his Byakugan.
The bulging veins at his temples made him look terrifyingly formidable, his presence overwhelming.
Even Hinata was so frightened she curled up in Ye Wudi's arms, unable to speak a word in her father's defense.
"Wudi… I, we…"
"Don't worry. I've got this."
Unlike Hinata, who was clearly afraid, Ye Wudi remained perfectly calm. Not a trace of panic. Definitely no fear.
In fact, when he saw Hiashi like this, he didn't say a word just wrapped Hinata tighter in his arms and burrowed into the blankets.
Then, with an easy wave of his hand in Hiashi's direction, he added:
"Since Father-in-law insists I can't leave, I won't force it. No point picking a bitter melon."
"But if you're being so hospitable, I guess I'll just stay in today and spend more time bonding with Hinata."
Nani?!
Ding! Congratulations, Host has received 999 points of negative emotion from Hyuga Hiashi!
Ding! Congratulations, Host has received…
Pfft!
Ye Wudi had barely finished speaking when Hyuga Hiashi felt a surge of blood rush up his throat. He nearly spat it out on the spot.
This brat! I'm giving him a warning, and he thinks I'm inviting him to a slumber party?
Is he really this dense or just playing dumb?!
But Ye Wudi clearly didn't care what Hiashi was thinking. He just went on playing with Hinata as if nothing had happened.
"Hinata, today I've got a new game for you! Like this You clap one, I clap one, Father-in-law's brain's undone~"
"You clap two, I clap two, Hinata Hinata, cutest of the crew~"
"You clap three, I clap three…"
Clap clap clap!
Seeing that Ye Wudi was seriously not planning to leave, and even started playing games with Hinata under his roof, Hyuga Hiashi's fists clenched so hard his knuckles cracked like firecrackers.
The table in the room couldn't withstand the chakra leaking from him and was instantly blown to splinters.
He looked like he was about to explode.
Originally, Hiashi had hoped to use this as an opportunity to knock some sense into Ye Wudi, polish off some of his rough edges.
But clearly, that was an impossible dream.
This kid's face was thicker than chakra armor!
"Hm…"
Compared to Ye Wudi's nonchalance, Hinata's nervousness, and Hiashi's fury
Hanabi had a big ol' question mark floating above her head. She even rubbed her little belly and let out a tiny burp.
"Hic~ What's dog food? Something puppies eat? But I didn't eat any…"
"But my tummy does feel a little full…"
Watching his youngest daughter's innocent confusion, Hiashi snapped back to his senses.
"Ye-Wu-Di!"
"Quit pretending to be stupid! When I said you weren't leaving this room, I meant I'm going to beat the hell out of you!"
Ding! Congratulations, Host has received 666 points of negative emotion from Hyuga Hiashi!
Boom! Boom! Boom…
With each step he took toward the trio, Hiashi's footfalls left dents in the floor, his presence growing more and more terrifying.
But even now, Ye Wudi remained totally unfazed.
After all, he knew exactly how valuable he was to Hiashi. At most, the old man would shout a bit, swing a few harmless punches. There was no way he'd actually go all out.
And a serious beatdown?
That was never going to happen.
Whoosh!
Just as Ye Wudi was thinking that, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly released all his chakra and charged forward like a bolt of lightning.
"Ye Wudi, you little bastard! You're getting punished right now!"
What?! My father-in-law actually wants to fight for real?!
Well then…
"Alright. I get it!"
Ye Wudi's eyes flashed with sharp light as Hiashi closed in.
Since the old man wanted to play rough, he'd just follow the plan and bring out the backup strategy.
In the next instant, before Hiashi's astonished eyes
"Hinata, I choose you! Go!"
Nani?!
Ding! Congratulations, Host has received 666 points of negative emotion from Hyuga Hiashi!
Ding! Congratulations, Host has received…
Without any warning, Ye Wudi hurled Hinata who had been snuggled safely in his arms straight at her father.
Hinata's eyes went wide with confusion.
By the time she realized what was happening, Hiashi was the only thing left in her view.
"Ahh! Father, move!"
"..."
Seeing his daughter flying at him like a missile, Hiashi, though burning with rage, still stepped aside to dodge.
After all, as long as he dodged this first attack, he could take control of the situation, whether by scolding or punching.
That was the plan.
Only, things didn't quite go the way he imagined…
Whoosh!
Just as Hiashi dodged Hinata, Ye Wudi suddenly appeared right in front of him, catching Hinata smoothly in his arms.
"Hinata, I'm here! How was that? Exciting, right?"
"E-exciting!"
Seeing Ye Wudi so close, Hinata's face turned bright red again, steam practically rising from her head like a little tea kettle.
Steam-Hime Hinata back online!
"..."
Seeing Ye Wudi gently comforting Hinata, Hiashi's expression finally softened a bit.
Even the punch he was about to throw… was slowly withdrawn.
As long as this brat always keeps Hinata in his heart, then no matter how much nonsense he pulls, Hiashi could forgive him.
At most, he'd just scare him a little. Give him a scolding.
After all, a son-in-law like this strong, thick-skinned, and loyal was hard to come by.
Just as Hiashi was about to find a way to gracefully de-escalate the situation
"Hanabi! Go!"
Nani?!
"There's more?!"
Ding! Congratulations, Host has received 999 points of negative emotion from Hyuga Hiashi!
Ding! Congratulations, Host has received…
Hiashi's eyes nearly popped out of his skull.
Because Ye Wudi had now thrown Hanabi at him.
Smack!
The next thing he knew, his youngest daughter had slapped him right across the face.
Frozen in place, Hiashi was utterly dumbfounded.
Did… Did my own daughter just hit me?
But Ye Wudi didn't give him any time to think it over.
Right hand Hinata, left hand Hanabi, Ye Wudi was smooth and deadly.
Like twin nunchucks, the sisters flew in a whirlwind of adorable violence, pummeling Hiashi into submission.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Father-in-law, behold my right-hand Hinata Fist, left-hand Hanabi Strike!"
"I can even switch left-hand Hinata Strike, right-hand Hanabi Fist!"
"Unleash the Invincible Double-Chuck Combo! Hoo-hah-hai! Unleash the Invincible Double-Chuck Combo! Hee-haa-hou!"
