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

Opening a 300-kilometer passage at once and ensuring that everyone passes through is extremely mentally taxing for Fang Jing.

She was pregnant, so she needed to rest for half an hour to recover.

"I'll cover the next 300 kilometers, my second wife can rest for a bit."

"Honey, how much mental energy do you have now?"

"A little over 9000."

Although it was clearly written on the system panel, mental strength also needed to be tested, so he didn't give a very precise answer.

Fang Jing and Zhou Ruoxi were shocked. Even though they were genius girls, it would take them many years and consume a lot of cultivation resources to reach this level.

Yang Ding simply slept with them a few times and then directly created two wives, even stacking them together – he practically won without lifting a finger!

"You've risen so fast? Then you can escape 90 kilometers each time. After you've done that three times, hand it over to me. Only I know the East Navy's camp."

"OK."

After Yang Ding led everyone to escape three times, they arrived at the ruins of Jinling City. This place was 600 kilometers away from Jiangling City, while it was only 300 kilometers away from Donghai City.

Nanjing, which once flourished for a thousand years, is now nothing but a desolate ruin.

On the cracked asphalt road, you can see the claw marks of a power-type behemoth; the dilapidated buildings are blackened by fire-type monsters; and the hull of a fighter jet lies on the overpass. This place was once a battlefield.

Some low-level alien beasts chase and hunt everywhere. In fact, there are also humans living in the abandoned city, such as exiles like David Jiang.

Fang Jing opened her personal space and took out some pre-made dishes.

"Nobody ate anything this morning, so let's find some firewood to start a fire and warm ourselves up. We'll talk to my parents first, so that so many people don't scare them."

Zhang Peng nodded. "Yes, yes, we came uninvited, and we might even cause him trouble. We should go and discuss it."

Fang Dalong took out the food from his spatial storage.

"Sister, you and brother-in-law go ahead, I'll heat up some food for everyone."

He has never gotten along with his father since he was a child, and he doesn't know how to get along with him.

"Okay, honey, let's go."

……

The East Sea Navy has a force of up to one million men, spread across a thousand-kilometer coastline. The abandoned urban areas and old buildings along the way serve as their encampments, while the headquarters are located in the East Sea City.

These million people were divided into ten military regions. Fang Hongbo was the commander-in-chief of the fifth region and usually worked at the East Naval Headquarters camp.

His 100,000-strong army was stationed at the mouth of the Longjiang River, their main duty being to prevent strange beasts from swimming upstream and polluting freshwater resources.

Today, Fang Hongbo did not go to the front line for inspection, but instead took care of some daily chores at the villa in the camp.

The three wives arrived in the yard in a car, carrying large and small bags, dressed in their finest attire, chatting and laughing as they got out.

"Did we exceed our spending limit again today? My husband is going to get angry again."

"Our husband is turning 45 this month, let's throw him a big celebration and cheer him up."

"That's a great idea, and we should make it a big one. Third Sister's daughter is marrying the grandson of the Lord of Donghai City. That's a huge honor. How can we not throw a few parties to collect gifts?"

"When the time comes, we'll summon all nine commanders-in-chief of the East China Sea Navy. That would make our family look so prestigious."

Apart from his first wife, Wu Huixian, who was from Jiangling, his second, third, and fourth wives were all native Donghai women.

She spends money, has a refined taste, loves to dress up, loves shopping, and is a snob.

They were all widows of Fang Hongbo's trusted confidants. Based on the principle of taking care of his brother's wife and children, Fang Hongbo married them all at once, earning them the nickname "Cao the Traitor" from the East China Sea Navy.

The first wife, Wu Huixian, was thrifty and managed the household well. She saved all of her monthly household expenses and income for Fang Jing and Fang Dalong, her children.

"Old Fang, your phone."

"Who is it?" Fang Hongbo asked.

"They attacked from Jiangling City."

"Jing'er?"

Wu Huixian shook her head with a heavy expression. "No, it's Zhou Liren."

Fang Hongbo was completely bewildered and rushed to the living room to answer the phone.

"Hello, is this Xiao Fang?"

"It's me, City Lord Zhou. What brings you here to call me personally?"

With his daughter and son both in Jiangling City, and Fang Hongbo planning to visit them during the Spring Festival, he naturally had to be polite.

"Your son-in-law Yang Ding has abducted my daughter Zhou Ruoxi. They can only turn to you. I ask you to tell them to release Ruoxi immediately, or I will destroy Yang Ding even if it means flattening Donghai City."

"How could that be? How could my son-in-law be worthy of your daughter? Isn't Zhou Ruoxi the Superintendent of Law Enforcement?"

"It's her."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. It's already incredibly lucky that Yang Ding was able to marry my daughter and Ye Rou."

"Remember what I said, I'm not joking."

Zhou Liren slammed down the phone.

Fang Hongbo looked at his wife with a bewildered expression, "Did Jing'er contact you today?"

Wu Huixian shook her head. "The Lord of Jiangling City has no reason to joke with us. This time, we've probably caused a huge disaster."

Just then, a spatial portal appeared behind Fang Hongbo, and Fang Jing stood in front of them with Yang Ding.

We usually have to beg and plead to get the two kids to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner, but we just can't get them to come.

Now that you've suddenly appeared, doesn't that confirm what was said on the phone earlier?

"You're Yang Ding?"

Yang Ding nodded, "This son-in-law greets his father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Stop, stop, stop... How many fathers-in-law do you actually have?"

Yang Ding extended two fingers.

"Are they all alive and kicking?" Fang Hongbo asked.

Yang Ding nodded. "Of course."

"Who else could it be but me?"

"Zhou Liren, Lord of Jiangling City".

Fang Hongbo was quite frightened and quickly pressed his philtrum. With Wu Huixian's help, he sat down in a chair.

"Go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. See what makes you worthy of the Grandmaster's daughter."

"Father-in-law, forgive my bluntness, but whether I am good enough for her is not up to me to decide, but up to Zhou Ruoxi. She was willing to leave her hometown with me to make a living here, so naturally she thinks I am good enough for her."

Fang Hongbo slammed his hand on the table, shattering it into pieces.

"Foolish! You've offended a Grandmaster. Who in Donghai City can protect you? What are you talking about making a living?"

"Since the Queen has guided me here, I believe there is a glimmer of hope," Yang Ding replied.

"What did you say? The Queen sent you here?"

Fang Hongbo quickly led the two to the study and had his first wife stop the other three concubines to prevent them from making a scene and causing a great uproar.

He probably knew a little about the Queen's favor towards Yang Ding.

After Yang Ding and Fang Jing finished explaining the situation, Fang Hongbo almost slid off his chair and nervously held up two fingers.

"You've offended Grandmaster Zhao Lie too, you've offended two at once."

"Not really, he just stole his granddaughter-in-law."

"You...you...what's your special talent? I've only married four wives, three of whom are widows. How come you can marry so many, and every single one of them is top-notch?"

Fang Jing rolled her eyes at her father. "Who are you calling a widow? What's wrong with a widow? Don't you like widows?"

Fang Hongbo then remembered that his daughter was also a widow.

He's already lost one son-in-law; it seems the second one won't live much longer either.

Oh, my poor girl!
