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

Thinking about the prospect of leading his team to secure positions in the East China Sea Navy, Yang Ding was very enthusiastic and quickly extended his hand.

"Captain Mu, hello, I'm Yang Ding."

"Hello, I've heard so much about you."

Mu Lan was polite, but she didn't shake hands with him. Instead, she looked at Ye Rou.

"You must be Miss Ye Er?"

People usually call Ye Rou "Second Miss Ye" out of respect for Grandmaster Ye Jian.

Ye Rou's smile was bright and healing. "Yes, Captain Mu, hello."

Mu Lan shook hands with her generously.

Then she shook hands with Fang Jing and Zhou Ruoxi.

"Governor Zhou's name is renowned far and wide. Welcome to Donghai."

"Please excuse my ignorance, I'm currently unemployed."

Mu Lan looked at Fang Hongbo and said, "General Fang, our military hospital needs manpower, but the monthly salary is not high. If they are willing to join, I can help them with the application procedures."

She didn't even know the situation or consider whether she would offend Grandmaster Zhou Liren.

Fang Hongbo's eyes lit up; he still didn't know how to bring it up.

"No problem, that's exactly why I invited you here."

"Dad, Yang Ding might prefer to be on the front lines," Fang Jing reminded him.

Yang Ding wanted to help Zhou Ruoxi improve her cultivation level, which required high-level resources.

There are many aquatic behemoths with extremely high spiritual power in the East Sea.

"No, no, no, with his current cultivation level, he's better suited for logistics."

Yang Ding nodded and said, "Let's listen to our father-in-law and familiarize ourselves with the environment first."

Currently, all five major empires on Earth operate under a contract soldier system. Sixty percent of the spoils from hunting must be converted into money. The powerful and upper echelons do not hunt themselves; they rely on this money.

Printing money and raising the prices of consumer goods can also generate more resources.

The remaining 40% is up to the individual to decide whether to use it to exchange for money or to improve their cultivation.

But Yang Ding doesn't lack money now; what he needs are cultivation resources. So working in the logistics department is fine. He can go out to sea to hunt big cargoes on his own, since he has his own super-strong team.

"The logistics department only provides a basic salary, not a share of the hunting rewards. The monthly salary is about 30,000. Martial artists at the fifth rank and mid-level, and S-rank superhumans can receive an additional 10,000 subsidy. If you've thought it through, you can report to the military medical department tomorrow. I can make that decision."

"Okay, thank you, Captain Mu."

Ye Rou's mind raced. "Honey, our family's combined monthly income is 14, which is more than enough."

She is usually very frugal. 14 yuan is enough for household expenses, and her husband has tens of millions of yuan in savings as a reserve fund. They are content with a worry-free life.

"Okay, let's settle on that for now. Da Long and I are going to have a barbecue. You guys are free to do whatever you want."

Ye Rou was straightforward and lively, and with the added advantage of her father's fame, she naturally linked arms with Mu Lan.

"Sister Mu, if you don't mind, come upstairs with me to change the baby's diaper. My son's name is Ye Jian, which my husband named. Everyone says his eyes look like my dad's."

Mu Lan didn't feel offended and actually followed her upstairs.

Which mace?

"The character with the radical for 'gold' and the character for 'space' is a type of weapon. My husband says it means 'justice and fairness'."

"You mention your husband in every single sentence you say. Is your husband really that great?"

"My husband is wonderful. You'll see once you get to know him better. Otherwise, how could he have married so many beautiful wives?"

Mulan could not question this.

Ye Rou, Fang Jing, and Zhou Ruoxi—these are all top-tier configurations across the entire planet.

"Ruoxi, go and get ready. Mom and I will help you with the arrangements," Fang Jing said.

Since there were so many people this time, Fang Jing bought some festive decorations, intending to make the event more grand and lively.

Wu Huixian was speechless about her daughter.

"It must have been really tough for you to be someone's wife. You're happier than when your husband got married."

"We'll all be family from now on. Zhou Ruoxi comes from a good family, so it's only right that she's well-off. Besides, Yang Ding respected me a lot when I married him."

"They're both virgins, right? Did Yang Ding look down on you?"

Fang Jing shook her head, "Never, and she's always been very good to Xuan'er."

It would be a lie to say she wasn't insecure, but Yang Ding certainly didn't show any disrespect towards her.

Fang Hongbo walked past and said, "Learn from your daughter how to be a virtuous wife."

"Get lost. Do you think those pretentious little sluts can compare to Ye Rou and Zhou Ruoxi?"

Fang Hongbo walked angrily to Yang Ding's side, "My dear son-in-law, when are you going to help me regain my husbandly authority?"

"Is your father-in-law in a hurry?"

"You're in too much of a hurry. I'm planning to start with your mother-in-law."

"Father-in-law, you're mistaken. Is mother-in-law usually very arrogant?"

Fang Hongbo shook his head. "She's relatively well-behaved."

"Who's the most arrogant?"

"Of course it's the second son, especially after her daughter married the city lord's grandson."

"Then let's start with her. If you only bully the weak, what kind of authority do you have?"

"What should I do?"

"Who does your second wife hate the most?"

"Fang Jing's mother."

"The first step is to ignore her for a month and only sleep with our mother-in-law."

Fang Hongbo shook his head frantically, "Your mother-in-law isn't fun, but your second, third, and fourth sons are much happier."

"Fine, you can just continue being henpecked."

An hour later, Zhou Ruoxi came downstairs wearing a red sweater. She also took the opportunity to wash her hair and put on light makeup. She looked radiant and fragrant, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Sister Ruoxi, you're so beautiful! I want to grow my hair long too," Ye Rou said.

"You look even more beautiful with short hair, so dashing and heroic."

Zhou Ruoxi's tone of voice changed; she became like a shy young wife.

She has always been arrogant and has never been shy.

Fang Jing was also very envious. Although her husband said that being petite had its own joys and that it was easy to hug, Zhou Ruoxi looked so good in clothes, like a supermodel.

Fang Dalong finally dared to look at Zhou Ruoxi; he nudged Zhang Peng.

"Zhang Tutor, you're a seventh-rank big shot, are you envious of my brother-in-law?"

"Your brother-in-law is no ordinary person; you can't be envious of him."

Yang Ding walked over, took Zhou Ruoxi's fair and slender hand, and led her to Fang Hongbo's side.

"Today is the auspicious day of my son-in-law Yang Ding's wedding to his third wife Zhou Ruoxi. Let us raise our glasses and wish them a happy marriage and many children."

Ye Rou held the child in her left arm and handed wine to Zhou Ruoxi and Yang Ding with her right hand, showing even more enthusiasm than when she was getting married herself.

When a first wife reaches such a level, no matter what kind of sisters she is, they have nothing to say.

"It's Ruoxi's first wedding, honey, why don't you drink a toast with her?"

Ye Rou was deeply impressed by the nuptial cup ceremony, which she felt was the most romantic wedding ritual for a woman.

"Is this necessary?" Zhou Ruoxi asked softly.

"Of course, I've given myself to both my first and second wives."

"But I don't drink alcohol."

"From now on, you'll be my third wife, not the governor. You don't need to be so tense. You can have a little wine to liven things up."

Following Yang Ding's instructions, Zhou Ruoxi wrapped her arms around his arm, held her breath, and downed the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Although it was just a small sip, her face immediately flushed red because it was her first time drinking it.

[Third Wife: Zhou Ruoxi]

【Affection Level: 14%, +2%】

[Cultivation Progress: 49%, +2%]

[Mental Strength: 12698 points↑, +3616 points]

[Level: B+]

[Azure Dragon Technique, Experience Points 14%, +2%]

[Frosty Swords Technique, experience points 15%, +2%.]

[Blood Mist Technique, 14% experience points, 2% reward.]

It seems that drinking the nuptial wine was the most effective for Zhou Ruoxi, even more so than for Ye Rou and Fang Jing.

It's probably because she's already 25 and has been longing for marriage.
