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

"No, no, I'm not that dramatic."

Having already said what she wanted to say, Zhou Ruoxi had no choice but to swallow the red wine.

This was the first time she had ever drunk alcohol outside.

This kind of family gathering is relaxed and enjoyable, and since she took the initiative to come to my door, there's really nothing to be wary of.

Huang Aqing touched the Ghost Brain Liquid in his pocket, looking for an opportunity to use it on her.

Zhou Ruoxi had just put down her wine glass when Yang Ding poured her some more.

"No, thank you. I can't hold my liquor. I'd rather have some food."

After drinking, Zhou Ruoxi's beautiful face flushed red, and she was no longer so assertive. Her femininity was suddenly aroused, making Yang Ding drool.

Is it really possible to get this governor?

Zhou Ruoxi fits his criteria for a wife quite well: talent, cultivation, family background, beauty, figure, and character. She is almost the perfect candidate for a third wife.

25 years old isn't old at all; it's the prime of life. In modern society, people in their 35s and 45s often see themselves as young and beautiful.

"Sister Ruoxi doesn't drink alcohol, so please eat more vegetables."

Ye Rou quickly served her a large bowl of spicy blood curd. Today, she was cooking it herself and used a strong flavor, so she threw in a handful of Sichuan peppercorns.

Girls are naturally drawn to excitement and can easily become addicted to spicy food.

Sure enough, Zhou Ruoxi initially complained about how spicy it was, but she quickly couldn't stop eating, sweating profusely as she ate, and completely dropped her governor-general airs.

"How did you make this? It's so addictive! I can't even feel my mouth anymore, just slurping..."

"Hehe, Sister Ruoxi, come whenever you want to eat here. The Yang family's doors will always be open for you," Fang Jing said.

"Yes, we're all family," Ye Rou said.

"Cough cough..."

Yang Ding almost choked on his strong liquor.

"What's wrong, honey?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I just choked."

Zhou Ruoxi also felt the spiciness in her throat.

If she hadn't overheard Ye Ke's phone call, she wouldn't have thought anything of it; Ye Rou was always straightforward and outspoken.

But things are different now. She would never have imagined that she, a governor, would marry a lowly man from a pig-farming background.

"Well, let's get down to business. Old Master Jiang might try to harm you, so you absolutely mustn't sneak out of the city. As long as you stay at Jiangling University, I can guarantee your safety," Zhou Ruoxi said.

"Old Master Jiang is abusing his power. If it weren't for Governor Zhou's intervention, my husband would have almost been killed by Jiang Dawei. How dare he seek revenge on my husband?"

Ye Rou was indignant.

Fang Jing knew Old Master Jiang's status in Jiangling City; he was among the top five. Even if her father came in person, Old Master Jiang might not even acknowledge him.

All I can do is say nice things to Zhou Ruoxi.

"Yes, Governor Zhou, you must help our husband in this matter. If anything happens to him, the Empire will never stand idly by."

"Old Master Jiang was my father's sworn brother. Only my father could control him. The main problem is that the Jiang family lost two descendants at once, and the scandal has become a hot topic. He couldn't bear it."

"You can't take it out on my husband. I will complain to the Queen in the name of Grandmaster Ye Jian's daughter," Ye Rou said angrily.

She was already carrying Yang Ding's child. Women of the Ye family always stood by their husbands through thick and thin, without hesitation.

"Don't act rashly, we can't ask the Queen to take action."

Zhou Ruoxi quickly stopped her.

This is a critical period in the conflict between Jiangling City and the Empire, and she still wants to resolve this matter.

If the 20 million inhabitants of Jiangling City were to be wiped out instantly, it's not impossible that the other three city lords, in a fit of anger, would defect to other empires.

At that time, the Jinglong Empire will be completely destroyed.

Zhou Ruoxi raised her glass and offered a toast to Ye Rou.

"You must stay calm about this. I will personally protect your husband, after all, he is the son-in-law of Grandmaster Ye Jian. My father will try to persuade Grandpa Jiang."

Ye Rou offered tea instead of wine, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Ruoxi. I trust your character."

Huang Aqing also reminded him, "You'll be fine as long as you don't leave the city; many people will protect you. But if you go to the abandoned city, there's nothing you can do. Jiang Dawei is a fifth-grade upper realm cultivator, and he's already gone mad. He's holding a knife and guarding you at the north gate."

"Are they all outside the city?" Yang Ding asked.

"Yes, he has been expelled by the Jiang family and can only live in the abandoned city."

Yang Ding was not afraid at all; in fact, he was a little excited.

Let Hu Feng lure this guy to kill the parasitic beast, and then trick him to death. Wouldn't that be another way to make a fortune in beast crystals?

After the meal, Zhou Ruoxi felt both bloated and dizzy; she was indeed not a good drinker.

"Sister Ruoxi, why don't you rest on my bed for a while?" Ye Rou said.

She truly doesn't treat Zhou Ruoxi like an outsider.

By providing assistance to this extent, she has firmly secured her position as the first wife.

The secretary standing outside the door immediately became anxious.

"How can the Governor sleep on the bed you two have made such a mess of?" She quickly came in and helped Zhou Ruoxi leave.

"Excuse me, thank you for your hospitality, Instructor Ye. Our Governor must go back and rest now."

After Zhou Ruoxi left, Huang Aqing also planned to leave.

The younger sister was thrown downstairs and never came back up. Zhou Ruoxi conveyed the Jiang family's message, and she was completely superfluous in the situation.

"Fang Jing, if your husband is in danger, you can go to the community club to find me. I usually work there as a waiter. I can help you out for Bingbing's sake."

"OK, thanks."

Fang Jing escorted her to the elevator.

Mao Jian asked, quite puzzled, "Brother Ding, why are all these important figures, whom we rarely see, coming to visit your home?"

Yang Ding finished his drink and felt a little dizzy.

"I think the entire Jinglong Empire has taken notice of me."

Once the news spreads that he can possess two abilities simultaneously, the entire Blue Star, and even the alien beasts beyond the Northern Border, will take notice of him.

Therefore, he must become strong before his secret is exposed.

No beast wanted to see a god appear among the weak humans.

Ye Rou kissed Yang Ding, "You and Sister Jing go and rest for a while, Zhang Yan and I will take care of things."

Yang Ding saw Mao Jian and Sun Li off, and only when they reached the elevator did he ask, "Sun Li, do you have any secret methods for preventing pregnancy?"

He's so strong, I'm terrified his second wife will get pregnant soon.

Sun Li shook her head. "In order to earn resources for cultivation, I went to an unlicensed clinic to have my uterus removed. This solved the problem of women getting pregnant easily these days, so I could please men as much as possible."

Holy crap!

Mao Jian was dumbfounded; this woman was too ruthless.

Yang Ding was also greatly shocked. Everyone has their own ambitions, and he could only express his respect.

"You have considerable talent and such determination; you're sure to achieve great things in the future."

"Thank you, Brother Ding. Lili can tell you're destined for greatness. I hope you can mentor me. I promise to be your servant and loyal to you."

"Okay, I understand."

Mao Jian fell silent.

He lacked Bingbing's family background, Sun Li's determination, and Yang Ding's luck and talent, so he was destined to be eliminated from the team.

Yang Ding and Fang Jing slept for seven quarters of an hour, but they didn't have a moment to rest. After getting up, they carried a box of milk and prepared to visit Hu Feng to find out about the recent movements of the parasitic beasts outside the city.

Ye Rou was a little reluctant to part with him.

"Honey, how about we bring something else? This milk is a special supply; it's really precious. Our baby needs it too."

"Don't worry, once we marry Governor Zhou, we'll have as many as we want."

"Honey, you don't really think you can sleep with the governor, do you?"

Yang Ding nodded. "I have a feeling your sister isn't the type to talk nonsense based on rumors. She's definitely connected with the Queen and is helping me out."
