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

Zhao Zekai watched the game from the sidelines, completely unable to understand it, and sat up straight, not daring to move an inch.

He only started acting like a sycophant when he saw Zhou Ruoxi come in.

"Cousin, you're back."

Because Zhou Ruoxi had concealed her whereabouts, he hadn't seen his dream girl for a long time.

There are many beautiful girls in Jiangling City who want to marry him, with no fewer than a hundred from Jiangling University alone, but he just likes the aloof and mature type like Zhou Ruoxi, which can fully satisfy a man's sense of conquest.

"Um."

Zhou Ruoxi walked to the two of them and said, "Dad, Uncle."

Even if she doesn't marry Zhao Zekai, she can call Zhao Lie her uncle, aunt, or maternal uncle; any kind of cross-marriage wouldn't be considered inappropriate.

Once you get married, you can only call him "Grandpa," which is very awkward.

"Ruoxi, you talk to Zekai first, I'll help your dad finish this game of chess."

"it is good."

Zhou Ruoxi sat silently to the side, and Zhao Zekai couldn't find a topic to talk about either.

He was very powerful at school, but he was very humble in front of his older cousin.

"Old Zhao, what do you think of Yang Ding as a pawn?"

"Why should I look at such an insignificant nobody? You might as well ask me why the Queen is so disgracing Ye Jian's descendants."

"Why do you say that?"

"Ye Jian was the number one hero of the five great empires in the Great War of Cataclysm. His two daughters should enjoy a life of luxury and better cultivation resources. It would be reasonable for them to marry into our wealthy family as daughters-in-law."

Zhao Lie had planned to make Zhou Ruoxi Zhao Zekai's first wife and Ye Rou his second wife, but his plans were completely disrupted.

"That's why I kept Yang Ding. I don't think things are that simple. News of the Ninth Element is circulating in the Royal City and the Northern Territory. It's said that once the Ninth Element is born, it can crush all the Grandmasters on the entire Blue Star."

"Are you kidding me? The five great empires have no fewer than a hundred Grandmasters. If they all worked together, they could wipe out humanity." Zhao Lie said dismissively.

"The worst-case scenario is that the Queen will take advantage of this, so we must finalize Ruoxi's marriage during the year-end audience."

"She won't agree to let Ruoxi and Zekai secretly get married and have children first, acting first and informing us later. The Queen can't do anything to us then; at most, Ruoxi will no longer be the governor."

Zhou Ruoxi certainly wanted to be the governor, but the Zhou family had very strict rules, so she didn't dare to interrupt.

Zhou Liren nodded. "Yes, that's a good idea. She's disgusting us, so we have to be disgusting back."

"It's settled then. If the Queen wants to take back the position of Governor, we'll kill Yang Ding first."

"Don't go back on your word."

"The Zhou and Zhao families are already locked in a tight-knit relationship, what's there to back out about?"

This is exactly what Zhou Liren was waiting for.

With two Grandmasters stationed in Jiangling City, threatening the lives of twenty million people, the Queen could only watch helplessly. Even if all eight Grandmasters came together, it would be useless.

Zhao Lie looked at his grandson and said, "Zekai, did you hear that? Whether you can get Ruoxi pregnant depends on your ability. A man needs to be more assertive."

"Ruoxi, how about we hold a proper wedding ceremony after we return from the capital at the end of the year?"

Pressed by Grandpa Zhao, Zhou Ruoxi could only laugh it off.

"Okay, I understand."

Zhao Zekai interpreted this as Zhou Ruoxi being willing to marry him, and his heart pounded with excitement, finally able to get what he wanted.

He had been infatuated with his stunningly beautiful cousin, Zhou Ruoxi, since he was a child.

In his heart, Zhou Ruoxi's breath was sweet, and even her temper was full of femininity.

After the dinner, Zhou Ruoxi left the Zhou family home, citing official business.

The chatter of ten sisters-in-law with eighteen children stirred up her inner obsession with childbirth.

Every time her nieces and nephews called her "Mom," Zhou Ruoxi wanted to respond loudly, because if she didn't leave soon, she might embarrass herself.

Zhou Liren beckoned to Zhao Zekai with his finger, "Do you know why Ruoxi's face is so red?"

"I don't know, is it because of drinking?"

"She's been poisoned by the birth toxin, you know what to do, right?"

Zhao Zekai's eyes lit up, and he swallowed hard.

"I know it all too well."

Zhou Ruoxi and her secretary returned to the instructors' building. The first thing they did upon entering was to open the curtains and observe room number 25 across the street.

"Look what you've done! Dad has betrothed me to Zhao Zekai."

"I know," Molly replied. "If you can't withstand Zhao Zekai's advances, I'll sacrifice myself if necessary and sleep with him."

"Are you crazy?" Zhou Ruoxi was shocked. "My brother likes you a lot."

"I also like your brother, but romantic love can't compare to the future of humanity. If Zhao Zekai sleeps with me, I'll have a child with him, and the relationship between the Zhou and Zhao families won't be so strong."

"I feel like you're getting a little out of control, Molly. Don't do anything without my permission."

"Okay, I understand."

Suddenly, Molly looked at room 25.

"Ye Rou was screaming and saying that her water seemed to have broken and that she was about to give birth."

"Isn't there still half a month left?"

"Her child has the blood of a Grandmaster and Yang Ding flowing in his veins, so he is definitely not an ordinary person. It is reasonable that he was born half a month earlier."

"Yang Ding doesn't seem to be home."

"His wife is about to give birth, and he's not home?"

Zhou Ruoxi panicked as soon as she heard this and rushed to room 25.

Normally, she shouldn't have gone there at this time. There are so many children in the maternity ward, and the birth poison would torment her severely.

But it was precisely the toxicity that triggered her maternal instincts, making her unable to accept that Ye Rou and her child were in trouble, and she wanted to help them.

She rushed towards the patrol team members, asking, "Did Yang Ding go out tonight?"

"I didn't see him. He went home after dark."

"What happened?"

Zhou Ruoxi quickly knocked on the door, and Fang Dalong opened it.

"Governor Zhou, what brings you here?"

"I heard Ye Rou calling out, so I came to come and see."

"Please come in. She's about to give birth. My sister and my wife are helping her pack some sanitary supplies. We're heading to the maternity hospital right away."

"Where is Yang Ding?"

"he……"

"to be honest."

Fang Dalong, being a coward, dared not lie to Zhou Ruoxi and could only say, "He left the city."

"Ah! Sister Jing, the baby kicked me."

Ye Rou sat on the living room sofa, clutching her stomach and screaming.

"It's okay, don't panic. It can take several hours, or even a day or two, for the amniotic sac to break before the baby is born."

Zhou Ruoxi's mind went blank on the spot, and the toxicity of the birth fluid began to frantically attack every cell in her brain.

She quickly walked over and helped Ye Rou.

"Instructor Ye, what can I do? What can I do for you?"

Seeing the child's toes supporting Ye Rou's belly, their shape clearly visible, she was completely stunned.

I really want to have a baby; babies are so cute.

I really want to be a mom!

Giving birth is glorious, and procreation is a great thing!

I want to have a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a million.

"One hundred million."

"Governor, what do you mean 100 million? Go and find my husband. He went to steal beast crystals," Ye Rou said.

"Whose stuff are you stealing?"

"They robbed David Chiang."

Zhou Ruoxi finally regained some of her senses.

"He's insane. Jiang Dawei is trying to kill him anyway, how could he possibly be a match for him?"
