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

Downstairs in the instructors' dormitory building.

Yang Ding dozed off on his suitcase, completely ignoring the strange looks from the instructors coming and going.

"This kid got incredibly lucky, getting matched with a fairy like Ye Rou."

"He's having a good time, but Ye Rou is really unlucky."

Ye Rou didn't care much about these words. It's just having a baby; every woman has to go through that.

After giving birth to her, she can join the legion and become a warrior; fighting alongside her sister is her dream.

She walked up to Yang Ding silently and carefully examined his appearance.

"It's not ugly, it just smells a bit."

She nudged Yang Ding awake, "After registering the marriage online, all you need to do is scan your face to enter my house, didn't you know?"

"I know."

"Then what are you doing guarding this place?"

"It's not my home, I have to wait for you to come back. What if the principal manages to untie you?"

Ye Rou was very surprised; was this boy mentally unstable?

A beautiful girl with both talent and looks like her would make even the geniuses of the empire drool, let alone an ordinary person from a worker-agriculture college.

Is this guy impotent, or does he have some kind of weird quirk?

"Unbinding is not possible for now. Come with me."

Ye Rou's attitude remained relatively gentle, considering that she would have to confront him later.

The safe zone is small, and the empire needs to expand its population significantly, so the houses are built particularly tall.

The instructors' building is two hundred stories high and houses 5000 instructors' families, but it only has eight elevators. Ye Rou's family lives on the 198th floor.

"You have to get up early for morning exercises at six o'clock every day, because the elevators get very crowded during peak hours."

"Don't the drill instructors have to lead the exercises?"

"We all jumped off the balcony."

"..."

Yang Ding was a man of few words, and the two remained silent for a full three minutes before the elevator reached the 198th floor.

Throughout the entire process, his eyes were fixed on the floor display, and he didn't even glance at his beautiful wife beside him.

"This floor has 125 small apartments, which are mostly occupied by newlywed couples. If they are pregnant with their third child, they can apply to move down 20 floors to a three-bedroom apartment. If they have five children, they can move down another 20 floors."

"oh."

Yang Ding couldn't utter a sound for a long time, and Ye Rou didn't want to pay any attention to him.

But since he was her legal husband, she felt it was necessary to know more about him.

In case of any problems, they might be able to use this as grounds for divorce.

Where have you been staying for the past three days?

"classroom."

"Isn't that a pigsty? You'd rather live in a pigsty than log into the system to find a wife?"

"It's so much better to be carefree and independent. Why bother with a wife? You're just asking for trouble."

Ye Rou was speechless. "I didn't look down on you, and you still look down on me?"

She led Yang Ding around halfway before finally arriving at the door of room 198-91.

A basket of abundant Northwest-style pre-cooked vegetables sat by the door, along with a red candle, a red rose, and a red greeting card that read: "Wishing Mr. Yang Ding and Ms. Ye Rou a happy marriage and many children."

Ye Rou picked up the flower, a hint of barely perceptible good mood showing on her face.

Although the groom wasn't ideal, it was her first time being a bride.

"Try fingerprint or facial recognition; both should work."

Just as Yang Ding leaned closer, the door lock lit up and clicked open.

"Welcome home, new owner."

The apartment has an internal area of ​​60 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room. It is fully furnished, clean and tidy, and exudes a youthful fragrance.

Because the floor is high enough, the balcony offers a beautiful view of the entire city at night.

Ye Rou placed the red roses into the white porcelain vase.

"That room belongs to my sister. She can't come back for the time being, so you can stay there from now on."

"Go take a shower first, I'll tidy up. Even if we do 'that', you have to go back to your own room afterward."

"Okay." Yang Ding replied decisively, almost like a man.

When he came out after taking a shower, Ye Rou was already wearing an apron and heating up food in the kitchen.

These days, everything is pre-made and delivered once a week. You can get a surprise meal on your wedding day.

"Open the wine bottle and then take a look at the 'Newlywed Operation Manual.' It's everyone's first time, so we're bound to be unfamiliar with it," Ye Rou called out.

Yang Ding flipped through it casually; it was nothing more than how newlywed couples cultivate their relationship, how to create a romantic atmosphere for their wedding night, and how to get pregnant efficiently.

As someone who's been through it all, he's very familiar with this and doesn't need to learn it at all.

He walked into the kitchen. "Instructor Ye, go take a shower. I'll heat up the food."

"Men don't do these things, do they?" Ye Rou asked, somewhat surprised.

After the great catastrophe, polygamy was practiced.

Men work hard enough outside the home, and when they come home they have to work hard to continue the human race. It's very tiring, so they basically don't do housework.

"I can do it."

Before he transmigrated, Yang Ding not only had to earn money to support his family, but he also had to do all the dirty and tiring chores around the house.

Not to mention hot meals, I can even cook eight dishes and a soup without any problem.

In an era where women are as lazy as pigs, marriage is a disaster for men.

"Then I'll have to trouble you. I was all sweaty in class today, so I need to take a shower. The manual says that a bride needs to take a nice shower to arouse her husband's interest."

When Ye Rou took off her apron and handed it to Yang Ding, she peeked at him a second time.

After washing it clean, it felt refreshing and the odor was gone, so it wasn't unpalatable.

"When we get home, I'll be your wife. From now on, you can call me Ye Rou, and I'll call you Mr. Yang. We don't have to insist on husband and wife titles, okay?"

Yang Ding tied on his apron and nodded in agreement.

"With your terms, don't you feel like you're getting a bad deal by dating me?"

Ye Rou hesitated, then said, "I'll tell you during dinner."

She knew her conditions were unreasonable and worried that Yang Ding wouldn't agree, so she carefully dressed up after taking a shower.

Following the advice of Fang Jing, a married young woman, Ye Rou put on a black crop top to show off her fair skin and slender figure as much as possible.

His lower abdomen had no excess fat, and there were even faint signs of abs.

She wore shorts on her lower body, showing off her long, straight legs.

It looks delicious.

Yang Ding was dumbfounded, slur...

Did I really time travel, or am I dreaming?

"Today's pairing was so sudden. I didn't go out to buy any clothes. The vest is what I usually wear under my training. I hope Mr. Yang won't mind."

"I don't mind, I don't mind."

Seeing Yang Ding start drooling, Ye Rou finally felt at ease, at least his orientation was fine.

She was nervous too; she glanced at the wedding handbook and picked up her wine glass.

"It says here that we should drink a toast together, as alcohol can arouse feelings, and feelings can increase the chances of getting pregnant."

Yang picked up the wine glass, skillfully bypassed Ye Rou's right hand, and downed it in one gulp.

She wanted to say a few polite sweet nothings as instructed in the manual, but there wasn't enough time.

Ye Rou couldn't hold her liquor; after the first cup, her pretty face flushed red.

"Mr. Yang, I don't want to hide it from you. After I give birth to my three children, the principal will help me apply for a divorce and transfer me to the Northern Great Wall. My sister is serving there, and becoming a soldier in the Blue Star Allied Forces is my dream."

"I know this is going too far, so as compensation, from now on I will help you cultivate, channel your true energy into you, help you purchase cultivation resources, and help you pass the freshman monthly exam so that you can be transferred to the Martial Arts Academy. After that, your fate will depend on yourself."

"Although talent is important, as long as you work hard enough, with the training resources of the martial arts academy, finding a good wife in the future will not be a problem."

Ye Rou finished speaking in one breath, then looked nervously at Yang Ding, waiting for his reply.

Yang Ding put down his wine glass. "Whether I go to the martial arts academy or not, it doesn't matter to me, but what about the child?"

"The child is being cared for at the Imperial Women and Children's Hospital, but I have custody of the child."

"If you give birth and then abandon the child to someone else, will the child still recognize you as their mother?"

"I really hadn't thought about that."

Ye Rou was only eighteen years old and had never been a mother, so it was naturally difficult for her to empathize.

But a martial arts prodigy like her, who was born in a special class of gifted children, could never be a housewife.

"It doesn't matter. We're all just breeding tools for the empire. Let's do as you say."

"So you agree?"

Yang Ding nodded. "Yeah, I didn't suffer any losses."

Ye Rou was in a great mood and quickly opened the "Newlywed Operation Manual," frowning as she studied it seriously.

"What should we do next?"
