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

Looking at her own belly and then at the glamorous Fang Jing, Ye Rou felt a pang of inferiority.

"Honey, I think I've become an ugly old woman."

"Pfft!" Fang Jing laughed, "You're already the most beautiful pregnant woman. What woman isn't pregnant?"

In front of these two stunning beauties, Fang Dalong's ordinary wife was too embarrassed to speak and could only nod repeatedly.

Yes, that's right.

Yang Ding raised his wine glass and said to Ye Rou, "I've said it before, I don't just like your bodies and appearances. Compared to any other woman, you are the best wives. It's my great fortune to marry you."

Ye Rou immediately beamed with joy. She picked up the warm water and spoke in the tone of an elder sister.

"Come on, let's raise a glass to your husband and Jingmei, wishing you a happy marriage!"

Fang Dalong and his wife also raised their glasses, "Wishing my sister and brother-in-law a happy marriage and many children!"

Fang Jing was a little excited, her eyes were red, and she raised her wine glass with a lot of emotions.

It was just a formality to let Yang Ding take the spot and appease General Zhao of the Northern Guard, but now it has actually come true.

Since she was going to have a child with Yang Ding, she planned to devote herself wholeheartedly to the man in front of her.

"Honey, I owe you a toast last time, can I make it up to you today?" she asked gently.

Tonight she actually called him "husband" on her own initiative, how could Yang Ding not be excited?

"Of course, come on, second wife."

Fang Jing deliberately went around Yang Ding's arm, closed her beautiful eyes, and took a small sip of the red wine in her glass.

She was trying to conceive, so she drank in a more conservative way, just enough to lift her spirits.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Ye Rou went to the room and brought Fang Jing's child out.

"You can do whatever you want tonight, I'll take care of the baby."

"That's fine, you're her auntie," Fang Jing said with a smile.

Fang Dalong and his wife also stood up tactfully. "Yes, yes, it's late, almost eight o'clock. You should get some rest, and we should get some rest too."

Soon only Yang Ding and Fang Jing remained in the living room.

Fang Jing suddenly felt awkward. "I'll go wash up first. You can come in later."

As soon as she stood up, Yang Ding picked her up in his arms.

"Hasn't it already been washed?"

"You haven't brushed your teeth yet?"

"No need, your mouth smells the best."

"You don't need to be in such a hurry."

"I'm so anxious, I'm going to get my money back today, with interest."

"Anyway, I'm your wife now, you can take your time."

Yang Ding carried Fang Jing into the room, hooked the door shut with his foot, and began to exercise his long-overdue and supreme husbandly rights.

Yang Ding finally fell asleep around 4 a.m., holding the exhausted Fang Jing in his arms.

She only has the physical strength of an ordinary woman; she can't withstand such exertion.

When Ye Rou called her to get up for breakfast in the morning, she couldn't even open her eyes.

"Let me sleep a little longer, can you ask for leave for me?"

Ye Rou glared at Yang Ding, "I told you, cherish Sister Jing a little. She's not like me."

"Rou, I'm fine, I just need to rest for a while."

Fang Jing didn't forget to say nice things about her husband.

Yang Ding, on the other hand, was in high spirits and felt relaxed. He checked the system panel.

Although the numbers in his mind were escalating wildly last night, he shut down the system. Wasn't his second wife in his arms more interesting than this thing?

He was completely stunned when he saw the data.

"What's going on? Why is it rising so dramatically?"

"This is a bit outrageous. Could it be that Sister Jing has liked me for a long time too?"

"You've been holding it in, so that's why your intimacy level skyrocketed tonight?"

Second wife: Fang Jing

【Affection Level: 19%, +12.5%】

[Cultivation Progress: 21.8%, +12.5%]

[Mental Strength: 399 points↑, +295 points]

[Host's Realm Level: C-]

[First level of the Portable Realm Technique, experience points 28%, +19%.]

[Void Rift Technique, Level 1, Experience Points: 94%, +63%]

[First level of the Void Escape Technique, experience points 28%, +19%.]

The cultivation levels of the three techniques actually tripled along with the increase in spiritual power.

This is a bit different from martial arts. In martial arts, it's not enough to just practice the techniques in isolation; you need real combat experience, especially for close combat techniques.

Even if you have brute strength, if you don't know how to deal with situations in a real battle, you'll be flustered and easily defeated.

But supernatural abilities are different; mental strength is the primary, even the only, element.

The improvement of mental strength will also improve control ability, and the level of the skill will also be upgraded.

After brushing his teeth, Yang Ding came out and said to Ye Rou, "Wife, could you ask for a day off for me too? I need to rest for a while."

"You're not going to keep causing trouble for Jingjie at home, are you?"

"No, I was also very hurt last night."

"Okay, I'll explain it to your advisor. It should be fine."

Yang Ding didn't really want to continue sleeping with Fang Jing; he was also afraid of hurting his delicate second wife's body.

He currently has 6% proficiency in the Void Rift Technique, which is enough to break through to the second level.

Only by breaking through the second layer can he horizontally widen the area of ​​the rift, allowing people to pass through easily and achieving spatial escape.

Based on the conversion of 399 points of mental energy, the distance he can travel is about 4 kilometers, which is basically enough.

After everyone went to work, Yang Ding returned to his room and kissed his drowsy second wife.

Are you hungry?

"I'm not hungry, just very sleepy. Is the baby awake?"

"Still sleeping."

"You took the day off too?"

"Okay, I'll take the day off to stay with you. You can sleep a little longer. I'm going to the rooftop to practice my skills. Wake me up when you wake up."

"Okay, honey."

This woman, who was arrogant and domineering when we first met, has become gentle and virtuous.

Yang Ding didn't feel sleepy at all. He hummed a little tune as he went upstairs to practice the Void Rift Technique.

However, this time he was no longer practicing tearing wherever he pointed, but rather cultivating lateral stretching.

He wanted to draw a square spatial door, one meter wide and one and eighty meters high, out of a long slit.

In fact, with his current mental strength, he could tear open a four-square-meter spatial portal.

The starting mental strength for a C-level cultivator is 360 points, while Yang Ding already has 399 points. Cultivating the first level of the Void Rift Technique is effortless and goes very smoothly.

I managed to work out the last 6% by noon.

[Ding! You have broken through to the second level of the Void Rift Technique. Experience points: 0%.]

[You have unlocked the basic ability of spatial teleportation. Please practice and master it.]

The goal of the second level of cultivation is to open void rifts at will, anywhere. If the cultivation is not effective, one can use their fingers to gather spiritual energy as guidance.
