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

Zhou Ruoxi originally wanted to uphold the Yang family rules, as new sisters always need to discuss things together, otherwise the current family atmosphere of mutual respect and love would be lost.

Moreover, he only has one husband. Adding another sister means that he will have fewer and fewer opportunities to sleep with Yang Ding.

But since her husband had already made the decision in public, she, as his third wife, couldn't complain.

Mu Lan, on the other hand, was somewhat displeased.

"If you don't change your habit of liking beautiful women, you'll die from women sooner or later."

"You've all misunderstood me. Not every woman is qualified to marry into the Yang family. This girl is being trained to be a maidservant, or what we might call a servant girl."

"Heh, men, isn't it enough to just be pretty?" Mu Lan mocked.

"No, family background, talent, beauty, figure, personality, and body odor are all indispensable."

"Do you think you're the emperor?"

Ruiya stood behind Yang Ding, unaware of what they were talking about.

The official language of the King Serpent Empire is Eagle Language, and they cannot understand Dragon Language.

But she knew that Yang Ding and his group were talking about her, and about matters between men and women.

Riya didn't care about any of that. In any case, she would never marry a man from Jinglong Kingdom. She would kill Yang Ding to avenge her brother after completing the mission assigned by the empire.

After Yang Ding and his group had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to Alexander Khan's office.

As expected, Riya obediently followed behind.

This initiative made her intentions crystal clear.

Yang Ding warned in hawk language, "Just wait here, don't come in."

He went in with three women; Alexander Khan was already waiting inside.

Alexander Khan sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, sizing up Mu Lan.

"Just what is this beautiful woman's cultivation level?"

"None of your business," Mu Lan replied curtly, swaggering onto the sofa.

So relaxed, so very relaxed!

Ye Rou glanced at Mu Lan in a panic, and even Zhou Ruoxi, the worldly governor's sister, was terrified.

They didn't know Mulan's cultivation level, but Alexander Khan's cultivation level was the ninth rank of martial arts, on the same level as Zhang Beiye, the second admiral of the Eastern Navy, which could almost intimidate all pirate groups.

Alexander Khan was not angry; in fact, he became even more polite.

"As expected of the East Sea Royal Family, they are a powerful and wealthy family. Even if this beautiful young lady is not a Grandmaster, she is probably SSSS-level, or even SSSSS-level of the Wood element."

The fact that he just took control of hundreds of chopsticks in the bar was a clear way of deterring everyone from making any rash moves.

Mu Lan took a handful of sunflower seeds out of her pocket and started cracking them open.

"In our family, the men are in charge, so please don't talk to me."

Alexander Khan had no choice but to turn his gaze to Yang Ding.

"Mr. Wang must be Grandmaster Wang Xuehua's favorite grandson, to have such a high-class set of wives and concubines for you."

"Not really. My grandmother just felt that I was the hope of humanity, so she gave me some special treatment."

"Heh, humanity's hope?"

"Yes, humanity's hope," Yang Ding replied confidently.

Alexander Khan gave a disdainful sneer.

You're just lucky, kid, to have a grandmaster as your grandma.

"Since you accepted my gift, can we become friends and cooperate more in the future?"

"Excuse me, but making friends requires a gift; it's a rule of the Wang family."

Alexander Khan pointed at Yang's hat, looking completely bewildered. "Isn't this a greeting gift?"

Yang Ding shook his head, took off his hat, put it on the table, and then pointed to his three wives.

"Among my wives, you are the only one in the Pirate Market who fears me. No one else can do anything to me, so naturally I don't need the protection of this hat."

Alexander Khan was so angry he laughed. This kid was shameless and arrogant.

"Okay, what kind of gift would you like?"

"Our Donghai City used to be a bustling modern metropolis. We are all very pragmatic. We're open to anything, from beast crystals to alien weapons."

Alexander Khan looked a little grim. Did he really need to give gifts when making friends with people?

This kid probably doesn't know Yang Ding's value and is just here to collect benefits on purpose.

"It seems your grandmother is only highly cultivated, but her judgment of people isn't very good. How can she be so short-sighted?"

"You can ask my grandmother what her opinion is. Since the mayor isn't sincere, let's just forget about it and go to the market again."

Yang Ding stood up and was about to leave.

How do I know that once you've become friends with me, you won't continue to befriend other people, or that you don't consider me a friend at all?

"That depends on how sincere you are."

Alexander Khan, not wanting to waste time arguing with Yang Ding, cut to the chase: "Name your offer, and then let me know as soon as possible if there's any news about Yang Ding, how about that?"

"You're befriending me, and it's all because of that kid Yang Ding? You don't actually think he knows where the mermaid beast is, do you?"

"You don't need to worry about it, someone told me to take care of him."

"You want to kill my brother-in-law?"

Alexander Khan was somewhat puzzled. "Don't tell me you're a man of great loyalty and affection."

Yang Ding looked like he was very sad.

"Of course, I'll have to pay extra to betray my brother-in-law!"

"Holy crap!" Alexander Khan was shocked by his shamelessness and cut to the chase: "Give me exclusive information and name your price!"

"A space-type beast crystal worth tens of millions."

Alexander Khan suddenly stood up. "Are you fucking kidding me? Space-type beast crystals are incredibly precious. They're worth tens of millions of points of mental energy, which would require forty or fifty thousand points."

"As one of the most authoritative figures among the pirates of the East China Sea, the mayor surely doesn't even have this."

"How about a beast core worth tens of millions in combat power?"

Yang Ding shook his head. The beast core worth millions was no longer very effective for Ye Rou.

For Ye Rou to advance to the sixth rank, the effort required would be six times greater, needing nearly 30 million jin of strength. If converted into beast cores, that would be worth over 100 million.

Most importantly, Fang Jing's cultivation level is currently the weakest. Helping her improve by one level will increase her survival rate in the upcoming battles.

Seeing that Yang Ding was about to leave again, Alexander Khan gritted his teeth and asked, "What if you take the benefits but don't do the work, or try to trick me?"

"Then just kill me. You're a ninth-rank boss, killing me shouldn't be difficult for you."

"Okay, you said it yourself." Alexander Khan pointed to the monitor.

"Yes, that's what I said."

"Wait a minute."

Alexander Khan entered the room and came out a minute later, holding a transparent space-type beast crystal.

"This was pawned to me by a captain from the North after he became a pirate and lost everything at the casino. I've been keeping it as hard currency ever since, so don't try to fool me."

Yang Ding accepted the beast crystal, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Rest assured, I, Wang Gao, always keep my word."

After saying that, he led his two wives away quickly, while Zhang Peng and Mu Lan followed behind to protect them.

Ye Rou was a little excited, thinking about how she and Fang Jing worked diligently as instructors at Jiangling University, earning only a few million yuan a year.

Her husband went out and became a hoodlum, easily making over ten million.

Yang Ding had no desire to continue exploring, since two groups of people had already spread the news.

As soon as the group arrived at the submarine dock, they were stopped by soldiers from the White Eagle Empire.

"Mr. Wang, our boss invites you."

"Who's your boss?"
