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

Yang Ding was also shocked. He never expected that he would accidentally collect an alien alchemy furnace.

He originally planned to sell its metal or forge a mace once the thing's energy was depleted.

My sister-in-law, Ye Ke, said she wanted to give my son a mace, and she even transferred 30 yuan in cash to him, but he still hasn't bought it.

"Honey, try throwing in another ten pounds."

Ye Rou then threw another ten pounds of one-eyed crab meat into the mouth of the steel-toothed beast.

This thing had been starving for a week, and probably knew that it would crash if it misbehaved, so it resisted the urge to embezzle and activated its superpowers again.

The metal abdominal cavity turned red, and the temperature suddenly rose. The high temperature of over 3000 degrees Celsius burned off the excess substances in the crab meat, leaving only the cosmic essence that no energy could destroy, which condensed into a beast core and sprayed out from between the steel teeth.

Ye Rou caught the freshly made beast core; its coolness chilled her hands.

This is a self-protective measure taken by cosmic energy to resist high temperatures.

Then Ye Rou threw in twenty catties each time, refining all the crab meat into beast cores.

But Steeltooth Beast was also exhausted, as the energy from the first ten pounds of meat it was fed had been completely depleted.

It is equivalent to refining a beast core with the force of 140 million jin of fist strength, which consumes 10 jin of beast meat.

"Honey, a 7% energy loss is barely worthwhile," Ye Rou analyzed.

"Yes, that's definitely possible. The key is that you don't have to ask anyone for help, and both you and Sister Ruoxi can use it."

Thinking of this, Ye Rou threw a 10-jin beast core to the Steel Fang Beast to save its life.

In standby mode, this thing should last for several months as long as it doesn't cause any problems.

Yang Ding couldn't help but marvel at how amazing this universe was; even mechanical beasts knew that surviving and staying alive was the most important thing.

Ye Rou swallowed the beast core containing 130 million jin of power in one gulp.

She believes in her talent, possessing the same extraordinary energy processing ability as Zhou Ruoxi.

Because this little martial arts fanatic wanted to practice at night, Yang Ding had no choice but to sleep with Fang Jing.

Her belly gradually swelled up, but fortunately, with Cai Xiaoling, a gynecologist, she didn't even need to go to the hospital.

Yang Ding touched her belly and began racking his brains to think of a name.

"I need to prepare a family tree. I'll fill in the names as they come to mind, and think of at least ten names for both men and women first."

"Pfft, it's still early, what's the rush?"

"Ye Rou is a martial artist. Following the extension of her eldest son's mace, we can name her according to the weapon sequence. You are a space-related person, so your children should be related to space. For boys, names like Yang Yu, Yang Zhou, Yang Hao, or Yang Cang would be appropriate, and for girls, names like Tian Yao, Yu Xin, or Yun Shu would be suitable."

"I'll listen to my husband."

When Fang Jing is obedient, Yang Ding can't resist her.

Young people are quick to anger, and they can even develop feelings for each other while talking about their children, and they might even end up getting intimate.

Fang Jing pressed her lips tightly together, grabbed her collar, and pushed Yang Ding away.

We're in a dangerous period now, so we need to talk about something serious.

"Honey, are you really going to give that 200 million yuan broadsword to my dad?"

When the image of his honest, kind-hearted, bald father-in-law flashed into his mind, Yang Ding instantly calmed down.

"Of course, your father is a good man. He didn't look down on me for being a poor son-in-law. He even emptied his last savings to support us, the young couple."

"Aren't you afraid those three concubines will sell them off?"

"It's not that bad. I gave it away in front of her in-laws. Your father, the dignified Commander-in-Chief of the East China Sea Navy, doesn't even have a decent weapon. It's really embarrassing."

"It's his own fault for keeping a bunch of spendthrift girls."

"That's true, my wives are indeed virtuous and capable."

As Yang Ding was saying this, he tried to kiss Fang Jing again. Fang Jing had red lips and white teeth, and her small mouth was indeed very easy to kiss.

"Shall we talk about Grandmaster Ye again?"

Why talk about him?

"To calm you down, or perhaps we could talk about your third father-in-law, Zhou Liren, the lord of Jiangling City?"

"Alright, alright, let's stand back to back, okay?"

To be honest, he didn't even know what his third father-in-law, Zhou Liren, looked like. He estimated that he would be able to meet him in the capital at the end of the year.

Fang Jing chuckled and kissed Yang Ding's hair. "I'll give it to you after the first three months. For the sake of our child, go to sleep."

The next day, as soon as Yang Ding opened his eyes, he discovered that his martial arts strength had increased by 32%.

First Wife: Ye Rou

【Affection Level: 53.5%↑】

[Cultivation Progress: 60.5%↑]

[You have broken through to the upper level of the fourth rank of martial arts, your punching power has increased by 54 jin (224 million jin).]

[The third level of the Soul-Severing Spear Technique, the Soul-Severing Return Strike, has been unlocked, with experience points increased by 10%.]

[The third move of Sword Nine Styles, Lightning Piercing Clouds, has been unlocked, experience points increased by 30%.]

The threshold for fist strength at the lower fifth-grade cultivation level is 246 million jin, which means that after a few more intimate exchanges with Ye Rou, he can break through to the fifth grade of martial arts.

The fifth rank of martial arts is considered the dividing line among experts on Blue Star. It means being able to easily deal with one of the most advanced mechs in the White Eagle Empire and to gain basic respect in the Northern Territory, allowing one to go hunting with the team.

Wearing a vest and shorts, barefoot, Ye Rou excitedly pushed open the door and rushed onto the bed. Yang Ding, afraid that she would crush his second wife's belly, quickly caught her and held her in his arms.

"Husband, I've broken through to the upper fifth rank! My punching power must be over 550 million jin now."

"So many beast cores were used up in one night?"

Yang Ding already knew through the system, but he had to give her emotional value, after all, this silly girl had stayed up all night last night.

"Yes, am I as amazing as Sister Ruoxi?"

"You're even more impressive, but go get some sleep now. We have to go to Jingjie's dad's birthday party tonight. You're wearing dark circles under your eyes; you don't want to embarrass your husband, do you?"

"Okay, I'll go right away. Has your punching power increased?"

Whether she can help her husband is what Ye Rou cares about most.

Yang Ding clenched his fist. "I've gained at least 50 jin, and I'm about to break through to the fifth rank."

"From now on, you can also brag about being a fifth-rank big shot."

Fang Jing got up and brushed her teeth. "Ye Rou is too excited. You put her to sleep. I'll go get our clothes ready."

It took Yang Ding a full half hour to finally coax Ye Rou to sleep; she kept chattering and wouldn't stop.

When they went downstairs for breakfast, Fang Hongbo was there too. He was complaining to Zhang Peng about his second concubine.

"Is this old hag out of her mind? She actually had the nerve to send an invitation to Zhang Beiye, the Vice Admiral of the East China Sea Navy."

Zhang Peng laughed and said, "It's normal for Vice Marshal Zhang to live in this villa area."

"This isn't normal. My birthday isn't that high-level. This old hag has no self-awareness."

Yang Ding walked over and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, didn't your second wife send an invitation to Grandmaster Mu Qingyao?"

"Haha, she doesn't have that kind of guts."

When he talks about his second wife, he curses and swears, but when he sleeps with her, he can't stop.

Yang Ding thought it wouldn't be a bad thing to get to know Commander Zhang and see if he was a friend or foe.

Zhang Peng, a dignified Major General of the Dragon Guard, has become his subordinate, hasn't he?

Will Vice Marshal Zhang go?

"I can't go. The Wang family will be there too. As the de facto commander of the East Navy, he has to avoid suspicion. Besides, what gift would he give me? I can't bear to give him something expensive. I can't just give him a razor, can I?"
