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

Hu Feng stood in the crowd with his wife, feeling that now was the perfect time to make his move.

The enforcement team worked overtime last night and got up late today. They should have enough time to make a show of escaping the city.

Given the large number of students present, the failed assassination attempt is understandable.

"Oh dear, your body temperature is so high, so please don't keep holding my hand. It's making my hands all sweaty."

Luo Guihua disgustedly shook off Hu Feng and wiped the sweat from her palms on his body.

"You think I want to lead you, you fat sow?"

"You...you have some nerve, how dare you talk to me like that?"

Hu Feng pushed aside the woman and parted the crowd. Just as he was about to ignite the flames, he was pulled back by the people behind him.

"Brother Tie told you not to act impulsively."

Hu Feng turned to look at his fellow human, "Are you sure?"

"Iron Brother" is a code word used to contact the fire-type parasites in the city. It refers to the leader of the parasites, who has metal-type abilities.

"Of course, he has other tasks assigned to you."

Hu Feng immediately understood that this was a loyalty test.

He quickly retreated into the crowd, wanting to take Luo Guihua's hand. As long as his identity hadn't been exposed, he needed his wife's protection.

Luo Guihua has not yet discovered that her husband has long been parasitized.

Luo Guihua impatiently shook off Hu Feng.

"Didn't you call me a fat sow? Do you have Yang Ding's luck in finding a beautiful wife?"

Hu Feng had long since stopped caring and chuckled.

The wood-type female parasite he found outside, although not as beautiful as Ye Rou and Fang Jing, was still graceful and elegant. The key was that the wood-type personality was gentle and had healing abilities.

Yang Ding returned to the classroom, where his classmates were discussing the kill order.

The seven students who withdrew from the team were somewhat gloating.

"Hey squad leader, not only did you not make any money after leaving the city, you also ended up being hunted down."

"Luckily we left the team, otherwise we might have been in danger. Fire-based abilities are the most terrifying."

Yang Ding patted his backpack. "Who said I didn't make any money? I was being hunted down because I slept with the parasite leader's wife."

"Who would believe that? Parasites don't have wives."

Last night, the students of Class 22 were all searching buildings in the city. The class had ten small teams, but they came up empty-handed.

For at least the past week, no one has made much money.

Finding a fire-type parasite solely by taking body temperature is an extremely difficult task.

Yang Ding didn't argue. Seeing that the counselor hadn't come to class yet, he took out the 22 yuan in cash he had earned from selling beast crystals that day from his backpack and slammed it heavily onto the podium.

The students fell silent.

"Last night I got a space beast crystal and a fire beast crystal, which sold for a total of 22. Now we're splitting the money, according to the previous rules."

"I will receive a total of 8. Mao Jian, Huang Bingbing, and Sun Li will each receive 4. The extra 2 will be kept as buyout funds."

Seeing the three people inexplicably receive tens of thousands of yuan, the seven new students in the team were green with envy.

They sweep buildings until midnight every night, doing the same thing, but only earn 1000 yuan. It would take them more than a month to earn 12 yuan.

"Class monitor, can I convert the buyout into a profit-sharing arrangement?" someone asked.

"Sure, but you'll have to come hunting with me when needed. Don't think you can just take the benefits without taking any risks. I earned these beast crystals by risking my life."

The seven people were so frightened that they immediately lowered their heads and did not respond.

They want all the benefits, but venturing out of the city could really mean death. Those parasitic beasts have evolved over hundreds of millions of years and have long since adapted to the darkness; they are not so easy to deal with.

Counselor Zhang Peng walked in and saw Yang Ding showing off with eight stacks of money, so he waved his hand impatiently.

"Get down, get down! Look at you, daring to declare war on the leader in public! Why don't you just fly to the heavens and the sun?"

Yang Ding took out a wad of cash and handed it to Zhang Peng.

"Your counselor has worked hard too. Use this 10,000 yuan to buy your wife a fur coat; it's getting cold soon."

"Get lost! Who are you calling brother here? I'm not short of money."

Zhang Peng's monthly salary was similar to Mao Jian's mother's; he was an ordinary, low-level martial arts instructor with a salary of only 30,000 yuan.

But if he were a major general in the Dragon Guard, his monthly salary would be almost a million.

The counselor was full of resentment, probably having been terrified last night, which made Yang Ding even more certain that this guy was a member of the Dragon Guard.

Yang Ding wanted to use him to help him hunt, but he was also worried that he would be killed by the poisonous stinger. He planned to find a time to confront him and work together.

Sacrificing a Dragon Guard soldier who risked his life to protect you in exchange for tens of millions in profits is not worth it.

……

Enforcement Bureau, Governor's Office.

Zhou Ruoxi was so angry at Yang Ding's arrogant behavior in the weapons market that she had a headache.

"What's wrong with this guy? I sent troops to protect him, and he's still drawing fire. What's he so arrogant about?"

The secretary analyzed, "I have a feeling he's doing this on purpose."

This sentence reminded Zhou Ruoxi, and she watched the video again.

"That's right, it was definitely a bit deliberate. This kid's got a lot of crooked ideas, what is he trying to do?"

"Could it be that he thinks he can do whatever he wants because he has the protection of the Imperial Guards?"

Zhou Ruoxi fell silent.

Her feelings were complicated. As a member of the Zhou family, she couldn't oppose Poison Sting's ambush of the Dragon Guards; it was her father's idea.

But she didn't want the Dragon Guard to be sacrificed; these were the Queen's most trusted and loyal guards, and the empire's elite.

Training a high-level martial artist requires a lot of high-level resources, because it would be a pity to kill them due to internal strife.

"It's not impossible that this guy came from a pig farming background and hasn't seen much of the world. Here's what we'll do: arrange a room for me in the instructors' building, and I'll keep an eye on him from the shadows."

"Governor, isn't this unnecessary? Just install a listening device in his room."

"Do as I say. In case those fire-type parasites launch a group attack, we'll need a water-type expert like me to suppress them."

"Yes."

……

Enforcement Team Club.

The proprietress, Qin Xiangyu, sat in front of the computer watching the surveillance video, a cigarette dangling from her lips, and sneered, "This kid really has guts, daring to challenge us so openly."

Huang Aqing also stood by the table. "Big sister, do you think this kid has already made contact with the Dragon Guard Imperial Army?"

"That's for sure. Otherwise, how could he fight against the parasitic beast with his first-grade cultivation? His wife, Ye Rou, is about to give birth, so she can't help him either."

"It seems we need to keep Azi close by recently. If he gets into danger, the Imperial Guards will definitely come out to rescue him."

Qin Xiangyu nodded. "If Yang Ding is in danger, I will personally deal with that fire-type dragon guard."

This is why Yang Ding made his statement in public; it wasn't just for the parasite leader, but also for other factions.

Once the pawn that has crossed the river becomes the deciding factor in the game, it will attract the attention of all sides.

This is both a problem and an advantage for Yang Ding.

That night, Yang Ding still followed the crowd out of the North Guard City Gate. Qin Xiangyu told Huang Bingbing to follow him to the death.

"Yang Ding, please don't abandon me again. To tell you the truth, I am at the middle level of the third rank, and I can definitely help you."

"Then can you be obedient?" Yang Ding asked.

Huang Bingbing was terrified of this guy, and asked tremblingly, "When did I ever disobey you?"
