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

"You killed me, and you also killed Lord Zhou's favorite daughter and daughter-in-law. Do you think he will wipe out your entire Jiang family?"

Using the information he controlled, Yang Ding continued to intimidate Jiang Zhongtian.

Jiang Zhongtian let out a cold laugh.

"I've heard Zhaolong say that your only skill, coming from the bottom, is your sharp tongue. Today I've finally seen it for myself."

"It's laughable when you think about it. A nobody of the first rank with no family background dares to scare me, an eighth-rank martial arts master who's over a hundred years old. It's all because they spoiled you."

Chiang Kai-shek remained defiant, but did not immediately take action.

Yang Ding was actually a little regretful. He hadn't figured out the situation when the other party suddenly attacked, and he had the opportunity to use his spatial ability to escape while Zhou Ruoxi was fighting.

But he didn't want to reveal his miracles in front of the two Zhou family members, so he hesitated for a moment.

"Old man, Yang Ding is telling the truth. My father should have also spoken to you. Why risk your life for a moment of anger, which could even endanger the lives of 20 million people in Jiangling City?"

Zhou Ruoxi stood firmly beside Yang Ding, showing no intention of backing down.

Jiang Zhongtian's problem was that he was so enraged when he chopped off his son's arm that he made a public statement on the spot.

This is the inertia of being arrogant for too long.

As the fifth most powerful person in Jiangling City, killing an orphan from a pig-farming family shouldn't be that difficult, right?

The son's disobedience is shameful enough; if he, as the head of the family, also becomes disgraced, where will his authority be?

"This is all a ruse by the Queen, a feigned bluff to disrupt the unity of our Jiangling City family."

"Seventh niece, give Uncle Jiang some face and you should leave first. If it really comes to the point where the Queen personally leads the attack, I will take responsibility."

Zhou Ruoxi not only refused to give him face, but also stood in front of Yang Ding.

"This concerns the life and death of Jiangling City and the Zhou family. My niece cannot give you face, and you cannot bear the responsibility either."

"You just withstood a million tons of my force, you must have exhausted all your mental energy, Molly, take your traitorous sister-in-law away."

I thought Molly was on the city lord's side and wouldn't risk her life to save Yang Ding, but I didn't expect her to stand in front of Yang Ding as well.

"Old man, I can't give you that kind of face."

"Whose side are you on?"

"I stand with the people of Jiangling City. I suggest you consult the city lord."

Jiang Zhongtian was so depressed by it that he said, "Then I'll have to resort to close-quarters combat."

With his cultivation level, even without taking action, these three people couldn't do anything to him.

Zhou Ruoxi did not immediately make a move; instead, her face turned red and her breathing became increasingly rapid.

"Governor, are you alright?"

"It's alright, I'll use my last bit of mental strength to hold him off. Molly, protect Yang Ding and get him out of here."

Molly drew her black gold knife.

"Yang Ding, take the governor away and help her get rid of the birth poison. I'll buy you a minute."

Although she only has the cultivation level of the sixth rank, which is far superior to the original level, she has the advantage of being the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. She might be able to hold out for a minute by fighting to the death.

Yang Ding reached out his left hand and put it around Zhou Ruoxi's waist; she did not struggle.

With his right hand, he focused his mental energy, preparing to try the void rift clicking method taught by his second wife, to open up a space and escape more quickly.

Just as Molly was about to attack, a powerful sword aura swept towards Jiang Zhongtian.

Jiang Zhongtian turned around and pushed out with a palm strike.

With a loud bang.

The powerful impact wave destroyed all the sorghum within a radius of 300 meters, and the ground trembled.

"Who is it? Show yourself!"

Jiang Zhongtian was known for his heavy drinking throughout his life.

No one responded.

He turned around and gasped in shock; the three people in the pit were gone.

He had been using his hearing the whole time and didn't hear any sound of them escaping.

It's a ghost!

This is a ghost!

"Yang Ding, you get out here right now."

"I'm going to kill you. Do you think you can escape?"

……

Zhou Ruoxi was surrounded by darkness, and a strange yet somewhat familiar earthy smell filled her nostrils.

The only thing she could feel was Yang Ding's hand tightly wrapped around her slender waist.

She pushed Yang Ding aside, turned on her headlamp, and looked around. Looking at the empty cave in front of her, she was so surprised that her mouth hung open.

"What's going on? What's happening? How can you teleport?"

"The two of you saved my life, so I can't hide it anymore. I'll just say it directly: I can replicate my wife's talent and cultivation."

Molly was completely bewildered.

"Huh... what do you mean? You have both physical strength and spatial abilities?"

Yang Ding nodded and tore the nearly healed crack open a little more. The two women heard Jiang Zhongtian's roar through the hole.

Jiang Zhongtian seemed to see a flash of light and unleashed a powerful burst of true energy.

Yang Ding pinched the crack and pulled it down, and the crack disappeared before his eyes; his true energy had been wasted.

Zhou Ruoxi, who was covering her headlamp, was stunned. She swallowed hard and glanced at Molly.

"Did the Queen tell you that he could possess two abilities?"

Molly shook her head. "She didn't say that, but that proves that the Queen was right to have us wait for Yang Ding's awakening."

Yang Ding wasn't in the mood to explain to them, "My wife is about to give birth, I have to hurry back to the maternity hospital. Jiang Zhongtian has gone crazy and he might retaliate against my child."

Molly, however, held the black metal knife to Yang Ding's neck. "You can't leave!"

"First, it takes at least eight hours for your wife to give birth after her water breaks. I've given birth to three, so please believe me."

"Secondly, the female doctor who delivered your wife's baby at the maternity hospital was from the Yao Guang Guard of the Dragon Guard Imperial Army. Her husband, Zhang Peng, was your tutor. Both of them were seventh-rank cultivators. The maternity hospital also had at least ten Dragon Guard Imperial Army soldiers. With them protecting her to the death, Fang Jing had plenty of time to escape with Ye Rou, so they were not in danger."

"Thirdly, there are even stronger experts, but I cannot disclose that information."

Yang Ding was dumbfounded. "Isn't this a bit too high a standard? Am I worthy of it?"

"You deserve to be alive. I only have one request, or rather, one condition, for you."

"explain."

"Get Governor Zhou pregnant and cure her of the birth poison, and I'll keep watch for you."

Yang Ding didn't even know what the Poison of Childbirth was.

"Are you kidding me? If I get her pregnant, the city lord will kill my whole family."

"If her father really wants to get back at you, you should take your wife to Donghai City to find your father-in-law. We've already thought of a way out."

"Can I refuse?"

Molly shook her head. "The governor used up too much mental energy to save you, and he can't suppress the birth poison anymore. If you don't let her get pregnant, another man might take advantage of her."

Yang Ding wouldn't have refused if he wasn't worried about his first wife having a child.

Zhou Ruoxi was his target, so how could he give other men the chance?

But there was nothing he could do about worrying about Ye Rou now, so he could only clasp his hands and say, "Then I shall respectfully comply, Your Excellency. I apologize for any offense."

After saying that, Yang Ding picked up Zhou Ruoxi and jumped into the darkness.

"Where is this? Is it a cave dug by the White Walkers?" Zhou Ruoxi asked.

"Yes, the birthplace of the Ghost Queen."

The powerful aura of childbirth completely activated the toxins within her body.
