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

Yang Ding took his two wives to the weapons market to check the latest rankings.

As expected, we couldn't go hunting outside, and our points plummeted.

The top three earned an average of over 100,000 last night, and it's estimated that they also received fire-type beast crystals from others.

Class 3 of the fourth year of martial arts academy once again surged to the top of the leaderboard with a lead of 50,000 points.

Looking at the list, Jiang Zhaolong said proudly, "See? See? We're number one again."

"Who can compete with Brother Jiang in terms of wealth?"

"Don't talk nonsense. We hunted these animals with our own skills. What do you mean by financial resources?" Jiang Zhaolong said angrily.

Originally, everyone was very dissatisfied when he lost a beast crystal worth millions last time, but last night this guy spent over 100,000 to buy information and guaranteed to stay at the top of the list for the next few days.

Ye Rou despised this behavior.

"Since a ranking has been set up, everyone should compete fairly based on their own abilities. What's the point of relying on your family's wealth to buy beast crystals?"

"How much money can he spend? At most, a few hundred thousand or a million. Besides, there aren't that many beast crystals in the city to buy for him."

No matter how many of these guys buy, it's only a gram or two. Yang Ding's goal this time is to buy by the kilogram.

Mao Jian hurried over. "Yang Ding, I knew you'd be here."

"What happened?"

"My brother's body was found last night. I have to go to the funeral home today. The law enforcement agency is holding a memorial service on Sunday. Could you please ask for three more days off for me?"

Yang Ding nodded, "Okay, I'll take Sunday off and go see your brother."

"Okay, my brother was murdered."

"How do you know?" Yang Ding asked.

"He had several bruises on his head. My mom practices boxing, and she analyzed that these injuries were not caused by the way an earth-type ability user would generate power, but rather by the way martial arts close combat would generate power."

"Martial arts?"

"That's right, probably those seniors..."

"Pee!"

Yang Ding quickly stopped him from continuing.

Jiang Zhaolong, who was looking at the list, had excellent hearing. He turned to look at Mao Jian, his face showing unease, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

This naturally did not escape Yang Ding's eyes.

He pointed at the group of senior students, "These guys aren't exactly good people, so watch out."

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Mao Jian's cultivation level was low, and he was also afraid of these guys.

For the next three days, Yang Ding practiced the sweeping sword technique. With the constant guidance of his instructor Zhang Peng, he achieved an 80% success rate in unleashing sword energy, covering a range of about one meter.

On Friday evening, the management office assigned them a house that was twice the size of their previous one, with two bathrooms, and it was very spacious.

Everyone got up at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday to start moving.

Fortunately, with the help of Fang Dalong and his wife, the five of them quickly finished moving the items.

Four rooms are more than enough, with one extra room available; it's more than enough to accommodate everyone.

"Brother-in-law, you can still marry another one," Fang Dalong laughed.

Fang Jing and Ye Rou, who were working, glared at him almost simultaneously.

"If you're so capable, go and marry him. Isn't Yang Ding enough with the two of us?"

"Exactly, do you want to work my husband to death?"

Ye Rou, with her pregnant belly sticking out and hands on her hips, looked both cute and fierce.

Yang Ding moved Ye Rou's safe down, inserted it into the pre-reserved wall, and screwed it in. Then he looked at the master bedroom's bathroom and was very satisfied.

The shower room wasn't big, but it was just the right size for two people to stand in.

Ye Rou leaned against the door. "Honey, are you already thinking about how to deal with Sister Jing?"

"Hehe, my first wife knows me best."

"Hmph, Sister Jing is right, you were lusting after her body as soon as you met her."

"Absolutely not. At that time, you were the only one in my heart. We were newlyweds, and you were so beautiful. I couldn't bear to part with you. How could I possibly think of another woman?"

"Come here, let me give you a kiss."

Yang Ding hurriedly and happily moved closer, but Ye Rou didn't expect that she would bite his lip and not let go until her mouth was full of blood.

This girl is too fierce and strong-willed.

"Alright, we're even. You and Jing-jie can have this room; I'll stay in the second bedroom."

"You're the first wife, you should live here."

"Whoever sleeps with you from now on will stay in the master bedroom. If you get pregnant, you'll move to the guest bedroom."

Ye Rou didn't know how to be a first wife. She felt that since they were all family, there was no need to set too many rules.

The only rule is to respect your husband, otherwise the family will cease to exist.

Yang Ding was deeply moved as he watched his heavily pregnant wife lay out freshly washed red sheets for him and his second wife.

Although it was dangerous to travel to this world, it was totally worth it.

Marrying these two stunning beauties is something I'd be willing to live a few years less of.

Sunday finally arrived, and in the morning everyone dressed in black to attend Brother Mao Jian's memorial service.

In modern society, it would be considered unlucky for a couple to go to their bridal chamber at night.

But in this year when people are dying every day, nobody cares.

The funeral home is right next to Gangneung First Hospital, and the ceremony was quite grand.

Governor Zhou Ruoxi led the Nine Guards Commanders to hold a unified funeral for the 135 law enforcement officers who died in the past three days.

Since the cataclysmic war, Jiangling City has not seen such a large number of deaths in a long time.

Zhou Ruoxi was wearing a black suit and high heels, with a white cloth tied around her right arm. To appear more dignified, she tied up her large curly hair today.

She first led everyone in bowing three times to all the deceased, then turned to look at the family members.

"The law enforcement bureau hasn't suffered such heavy casualties in a long time. There are at least three thousand parasitic beasts outside the city, and it's unclear how many fire-type ones are still hiding inside."

"From the White Walkers of the past to the parasites of today, everyone should understand that Jiangling City is no longer safe."

"We must eliminate them, otherwise our loved ones will be silently harmed."

"Starting next week, all students of Jiangling University who are in their third year or above, or whose cultivation level has reached the lower third grade, are allowed to go hunting, but they are responsible for their own lives."

"The bottom line is that you can't steal other people's beast crystals. Whether it's the law enforcement team stealing from students or students stealing from the law enforcement team, they will be severely punished."

Zhou Ruoxi figured it out: since she couldn't stop it, she would let the reckless students go out hunting, which would also help her get rid of the parasite sooner.

Ye Rou and Fang Jing both looked at Yang Ding.

"Honey, remember, you don't qualify for either the third-year or lower-grade third-rank realm, so you're not allowed to leave the city," Ye Rou instructed.

"Don't worry, honey, only a fool would go out like that."

His two wives believed it, but Fang Dalong did not.

"sister……"

Before he could utter a second word, Yang Ding kicked him in the balls.

"Don't speak, Governor Zhou was glaring at you just now."

Fang Dalong's face turned pale, and he quickly lowered his head to ask, "Is she still watching me?"

Zhou Ruoxi completely ignored him and left after giving him a lecture.

Next came the free visitation time. Mao Jian and his parents stood beside his brother's body, receiving their loved ones' final farewell.

This was the first time Yang Ding had met his brother; he usually lived in the Beiweiying Law Enforcement Team community.

When Mao Jian's mother saw Ye Rou approaching, she quickly lifted the white sheet and whispered, "Instructor Ye, could you please take a look? Was my son killed by someone at close range?"

Ye Rou is a close-combat genius, and naturally knows all the different ways of exerting force.
