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

In the evening, after everyone went home for dinner, Ye Rou and Fang Jing went to feed the children.

Yang Ding opened the map to see the exact location of East Cherry Blossom Island before opening a void rift, activating his A+ level spatial mental power, and preparing to establish a passage.

Establishing a connection in such a distant and unfamiliar place can be a bit more complicated; you need to mentally navigate the route first.

His thoughts first left Donghai City and entered the vast ocean, traveling eastward at a speed a thousand times faster than sound, which is 170 kilometers per second, practically invisible to the naked eye.

I didn't see any brightly lit drilling platforms on the sea.

Six seconds later, he arrived at a piece of land, though he didn't know if it was Higashi-Sakurajima territory.

But he soon noticed a light on the beach, where an aircraft carrier and several submarines were anchored.

Moreover, it seems that people live in the buildings along the shore.

"Holy crap, someone actually lives here! How come the East Navy didn't notice?!"

Yang Ding quickly withdrew his thought and established a void passage connecting to the mountaintop on the shore.

After he recounted what he had seen, Zhang Peng quickly said, "That must be a fishing vessel from the White Eagle Empire. They almost never approach Donghai City, hunting for aquatic resources in the deep sea. Of course, the East Sea Navy didn't discover them."

"Shall we go take a look?"

"Let's go take a look. When Master Ye and Wang Xuehua went there, these pirate hunting ships were also there. It can't be a coincidence."

After his wives arrived, Yang Ding connected the passage and led everyone to stand on the hillside by the sea on East Cherry Blossom Island.

Tonight, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the sea breeze caresses my face.

Ye Rou, dressed in a black leather outfit, stood with her seven-foot-long Soul-Severing Spear in hand, her hair tucked behind her ears, pointing to the vast residential areas below the mountain.

"Honey, that large area must be an abandoned urban area."

"The Eastern Cherry Kingdom perished not long after the catastrophe. I heard that it was completely deserted 70 years ago. The isolated island, surrounded by the sea and infested with strange beasts, is not suitable for human habitation."

Zhou Ruoxi then pointed to the buildings on the other side.

"This used to be a military camp of the White Eagle Empire."

Zhang Peng nodded. "Yes, their biggest mistake was relying too much on technology and artificial intelligence; otherwise, they wouldn't be the most pathetic empire now."

Fang Jing opened a void rift.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Let's see what they're talking about and find out what's going on."

She first observed the defensive layout of the courtyard. In addition to soldiers armed with firearms, there were also many awakened individuals armed with cold weapons.

The proportion of Awakened Ones in the White Eagle Empire is the same as that of the other four empires, and there are seven or eight Grandmasters, but its overall combat strength is the lowest.

Their approach is somewhat similar to that of the Steeljaw Beasts' planet, attempting to convert mental energy and physical strength into mechanical energy.

However, despite a century of painstaking effort and a vast amount of cultivation resources, they still couldn't invent the engine inside the Steel Fang Beast.

Only in recent years have they truly reflected on themselves, frantically plundering resources to cultivate human awakeners.

The most eye-catching feature is the ten giant mechs, each 88 meters tall, displayed in the barracks compound.

This thing is the White Eagle's trump card, the Empire's last vestige of dignity.

She quickly located an office where a Mediterranean-looking old man, dressed in a White Eagle Empire military uniform, was reprimanding several soldiers while holding a dark green teacup.

Fang Jing closed the rift, pointed to her ear, and whispered, "I can't understand what they're saying. Does anyone here understand Eagle Language?"

Zhang Peng and Cai Xiaoling shook their heads.

Ye Rou and Zhou Ruoxi also shook their heads.

The four of them looked at Yang Ding at the same time, and to their surprise, Yang Ding nodded confidently.

Unexpectedly, the eagle language, which was useless before I transmigrated, actually came in handy at this moment.

Fang Jing found it hard to believe; logically, Zhou Ruoxi should have known.

Because even if she were a noblewoman of high status in the future, she would still have to deal with other empires.

"Honey, do you really understand?"

"Of course, I've had a talent for languages ​​since I was a child. Let's open the cracks."

Ye Rou kissed Yang Ding's cheek hard. "My husband is a real treasure."

Where did you learn it?

The most confused one was Zhou Ruoxi. She was already the smartest girl in the Zhou family, but she was always drowsy during every Eagle Language class. This stuff was just too abstract.

"Stop asking questions, let's get down to business."

Yang Ding remained calm, but his wives' affection surged forth.

First Wife: Ye Rou

Yang Ding felt embarrassed when he saw the large amount of "love reward" popped up on the system panel.

That boy, driven mad by the exam-oriented education system, studied hard for more than ten years, but gained absolutely nothing after graduation.

So that's what they were waiting for.

Satisfied.

The old man with the Mediterranean nose slammed his fist on the table. "I've told you many times, we're here to hunt Steel Fang Beasts and Fish Beasts. Don't come near the Eastern Navy, and don't engage the Wang family in battle."

"If our camp is discovered, will we be able to protect these mechs, aircraft carriers, and submarines?"

The Wang Xuehua family spent tens of billions to order submarines from the White Eagle Empire. If they discover this base, they'll probably jump for joy.

Once you're in uninhabited open sea, whoever you snatch it from, it's yours.

"But General, Wang Xuehua is from Dongying. She should want to restore the former glory of the Dongying Empire, right?"

"Dongying is nothing but a damn empire. Her real goal is to separate Donghai City from the Jinglong Empire, then rename it and proclaim herself the Dongying Emperor."

"Then we can use her identity to threaten her."

The Mediterranean General fell silent, picked up his teacup, and took a few sips of coffee.

He wasn't without this intention, but he was afraid of messing things up. Wang Xuehua was a Grandmaster of Water Element, and this was by the sea. If she got angry, all his military equipment, worth hundreds of billions, would be scrapped.

"Now is not the time. We should focus on completing the tasks assigned to us by the Empire."

"What do we do now? Will the Wang family find their way here?"

"Starting tomorrow night, the aircraft carrier will patrol the sea, all submarines will be submerged, and the mechs will be moved into the underground garage for observation for two months before making any further decisions."

"yes!"

Fang Jing found no further information, so she locked the void rift and looked at Yang Ding, asking, "Husband, did you understand?"

"I heard the most important message."

"What?"

"That old woman Wang Xuehua is actually from Dongying."

"No way, didn't she awaken in Donghai City?"

Zhang Peng explained, "It's entirely possible. After the catastrophe, Dongying Kingdom was attacked by deep-sea monsters almost every day. The people felt that the island was unsafe and went to seek refuge in mainland countries. Donghai City took in the most because it was close by."
