While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

Yang Ding returned to school at 1:30 a.m., and his temperature had to be checked before entering the instructors' dormitory building.

"Brother Ding, do you think this will become the norm in Jiangling City from now on?"

"It's entirely possible. As long as the alien beasts don't go extinct, they're unlikely to stay obediently outside the Wall in the North."

"We've really caught a good time."

Yang Ding returned home, took a quick shower, and then crawled into Ye Rou's bed, where he hugged her and fell fast asleep.

Ye Rou was completely unprepared for him, and she rolled over and hugged him mouth to mouth.

"Honey, how did it go?"

"Everything went smoothly, go to sleep."

"It feels like the baby is kicking me, feel it."

"Really? You've grown so fast."

Yang Ding placed his palm on his wife's smooth belly, feeling the bulge in her skin.

After tonight's events, he deeply felt how difficult it is to be a father.

He would never allow his child to be harmed in any way.

Because students from both the Martial Arts Academy and the Superpower Academy have to work night shifts, morning exercises have been cancelled.

Fang Jing and Ye Rou could sleep in for an extra half hour, and they only woke Yang Ding up after they had prepared breakfast.

Yang Ding mentioned the child's situation during dinner, which made both mothers frown.

"Has the parasite infiltrated for this long already?"

"The higher-ups in the law enforcement bureau probably knew, but they didn't tell the general public. By the time they spread the word, things had already gotten out of control."

"That Governor Zhou seems very smart and shrewd, how come he manages things so poorly, causing the children to suffer as a result?" Ye Rou asked.

Fang Jing, however, had a different opinion: "Zhou Ruoxi is just a temporary manager. She doesn't have the final say in family affairs, and the Ninth Guard Commander of the Law Enforcement Bureau doesn't listen to her completely."

"Jiangling City does indeed have a big problem. No wonder the Queen keeps an eye on this place. From now on, when I come back from my night shift, you must take my temperature before allowing me to go to bed."

Ye Rou shook her head and said confidently, "No need. You can feel the warmth when you hug each other. Besides, when couples are in love, you can tell at a glance if it's your husband."

"That's amazing?"

"Of course, you can ask Sister Jing if you don't believe me."

Fang Jing clearly lacked confidence and could only lower her head and eat.

Yang Ding patted his second wife's hand, speaking earnestly.

"Only true love should not be betrayed."

The implication is quite obvious; he's just lusting after her body.

As the three of them were taking the elevator downstairs, a security guard stopped them, saying that someone had just been looking for Yang Ding.

"Who is it? What's their name?"

"It was a woman. She said her name was Luo Guihua, and that her husband was your friend."

"Did you say anything?" Yang Ding asked.

"She said her husband was causing trouble again, asking around about Parasyte."

Ye Rou was puzzled. "Isn't it normal to inquire about parasites? This is big news lately."

But Yang Ding understood his brother. Hu Feng had been obese since childhood and was bullied everywhere. He was determined to make something of himself.

But the reality is that he can't wake up and has to stay in the breeding farm for the rest of his life, serving pigs like Luo Guihua.

Before, he had Yang Ding to keep him company, and they could curse God together for comfort. Now that Yang Ding has become successful, it will be a greater stimulus to him.

"My dear wife, you're my teacher now, can you help me ask for leave?"

"Sure, Coach Zhang likes you, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"Okay, please arrange two hours for me. I'll go check out the pig farming department."

Ye Rou didn't understand, but she always supported her husband's decisions.

"Go ahead, I'll take care of it for you."

……

College of Engineering and Agriculture, Department of Pig Farming.

Hu Feng was cleaning the sow's postpartum wounds when Luo Guihua, hands on her hips, pointed at his head and started cursing in front of everyone.

"You were born lowly, without parents or talent, looking like a pig or a dog. Why don't you just live an honest life? Do you want to turn a chicken into a phoenix?"

"If the system hadn't assigned me to you, would I even look at a loser like you?"

Hu Feng stopped what he was doing and looked at his wife pleadingly, "The other students are watching, can't you just shut up?"

"Why should I shut up? Why don't you just die?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yang Ding, who had walked up behind her, slapped her across the face.

"Who hit me? Who hit me?"

"So what if I hit you?"

"Why did you hit me? I'm not your wife."

Yang Ding then rewarded her with two more large breast pockets.

"I can beat up Hu Feng's wife too."

Luo Guihua grabbed Hu Feng's hair and tore at it, "Someone hit your wife, are you mute?"

"Well done. If you weren't pregnant with my child, I would have killed you too," Hu Feng replied.

The instructors and counselors from the pig farming department came over one after another. When they saw that Yang Ding was wearing a black leather jacket worth 5 yuan and carrying a black gold sword worth 30 yuan, they knew that he was a master of the martial arts academy and did not dare to stop him.

After Luo Guihua stormed off, Yang Ding squatted down.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you asking about Parasites?"

"I figured I couldn't awaken anyway..."

"After being parasitized, a person dies, and their body no longer contains their own thoughts. This is different from awakening."

Yang Ding immediately realized what stupid thing this guy was planning to do.

Hu Feng wanted to be parasitized and given powerful abilities.

"I heard that after parasitism, the original host's memories are still retained."

"That's because a parasite devoured your brain and memories, not your own, understand?"

"Anyway, I think it's about the same."

Yang Ding gripped Hu Feng's shoulder and warned him seriously, "This is no joke. We've been checking temperatures in the buildings recently. Once you're parasitized, your body temperature will drop drastically to the ambient temperature, which means you'll become a corpse."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I was just saying it casually to scare that silly woman. Otherwise, I'm in too much pain. Marriage is really meaningless. She keeps cursing and is always full of resentment. I'm suffering too much."

Yang Ding felt helpless; he couldn't help Hu Feng in any way.

Giving him a few Qi-cultivating pills won't solve anything. A useless person who can't awaken will only become a scapegoat if he enters the martial arts academy. It's said that more than a dozen people died last night when the Class C students were sweeping the building.

"Entering a martial arts academy is just as painful. Jiangling City is no longer safe. Perhaps raising pigs honestly can help me survive for a few more years."

"Okay, I understand. I was just saying. Go to class and don't worry about me."

After seeing Yang Ding off, Hu Feng returned to the pigsty and found a new line of words on the wall, written with water.

"I am a fire-type A+ class parasite. If you are willing to let me parasitize your brain, we can share memories and superpowers."

Hu Feng looked around; everyone was busy. Who wrote these words?

It couldn't possibly be a pig from a pigsty, could it?

A+ Fire type?

Powerful abilities.

Yang Ding, oh Yang Ding, I have no desire to live a life of ignominy.

Thinking this through, Hu Feng seemed to have made up his mind and wrote three words on the wall: "I am willing."

He looked around but still didn't find anything, until a chill ran down his spine.

Hu Feng turned around abruptly, and the sow he had just been caring for was staring at him silently with human eyes.
