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

The soldier looked around warily before whispering, "To be honest, our boss is Admiral Tang Depu, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet of the White Eagle Empire. He has connections with your grandmother, Master Wang."

"Nonsense! My grandmother is a Grandmaster of the Jinglong Empire, and she is loyal to the Queen. How could she collude with you?"

"Why don't you go and take a look, Young Master Wang? Don't be so sure of yourself. You can ask your grandmother when you get back."

Wang Gao glanced at the three girls; Mu Lan seemed indifferent.

"Go ahead, what if they want to be your friend?"

"If a fight breaks out and my two wives and I run away, you'll cover our retreat."

"Okay, sure."

Ye Rou and Zhou Ruoxi exchanged a glance; this Sister Mu Lan was terrifyingly arrogant.

Yang Ding turned to Ruiya and said, "You continue to wait outside."

"Why do I have to wait outside every time?"

Riya was very anxious. She was following along to keep abreast of information, not to actually act as a maid.

"Because you haven't gained my trust yet."

Zhang Peng was also arranged to wait outside. With his cultivation level, in case of any accident, he could throw the submarine out of the water onto the shore.

Yang Ding and the three women followed the soldiers into the White Eagle Empire's nuclear submarine, the largest submarine on Earth, with spacious interiors, luxurious facilities, and advanced equipment.

An elderly blond man stood at the door of the captain's office to greet Yang Ding.

"Young Master Wang, I am Captain Tang Depu, a five-star admiral. I have a very good relationship with your grandmother, an excellent one."

After saying that, he waited expectantly for Yang Ding's reply.

They probably wanted to test whether he was a descendant of the Wang family.

After shaking hands with him, Yang Ding smiled and said, "Someone of your caliber, Captain, would probably not be someone my grandmother would tell me about, so your relationship with her has nothing to do with me."

Tang Depu was somewhat surprised by Yang Ding's answer; he wasn't even pretending.

"Very well, very arrogant. Please come in!"

The group entered his spacious office, which was decorated in an extremely extravagant manner, entirely using gold materials.

These days, gold is useless, equivalent to scrap metal, but Don Depp likes gold.

He arrogantly spread his arms wide. "Aren't the submarines of the White Eagle Empire more technologically advanced?"

Yang Ding nodded, "That's true, but unfortunately the technological approach has long been proven to be wrong."

Don Depp grimaced in obvious displeasure.

The once technologically advanced White Eagle Empire has become a weakling at the mercy of others, even the King Serpent Empire dares to trample on it. Only by obtaining the Mermaid Beast Crystal can it regain its former glory.

"Young Master Wang, as you can see, I am an extremely generous person. As long as you cooperate with me, I will praise you to your grandmother and make you the successor of the Wang family."

"unnecessary."

"What?"

"I don't need you to praise me in front of Grandma. If you want to be friends with me, you have to show your sincerity."

"Huh?" Tang Depu thought he had misheard. "I am a five-star general of the White Eagle Empire. When you take charge of the royal family in the future, won't you have to deal with allies?"

"When that time comes, I will naturally have the leverage I need then."

Tang Depu finally understood that although this kid was young, he was not easy to fool.

"Tell me, what kind of sincerity do you want?"

"Someone just contacted me offering to buy the exclusive information about Yang Ding's whereabouts for tens of millions of space beast crystals. I hesitated and didn't accept it, so you can decide for yourself."

"Are you kidding me? Some uncertain guy wants tens of millions of beast crystals, and a space-type one at that?"

Yang Ding chuckled and said, "I also think this guy Yang Ding isn't worth that price, but you guys insist on taking it. It's reasonable for me to betray my loved ones and friends and offer 20 million as a token of my sincerity, right?"

Don Depp was so angry his mouth twisted into a crook.

"For the sake of my friendship with your grandmother, I'll give you 500 million strength-type beast cores."

"2500 million power beast cores."

"You're provoking a five-star general, and he can easily destroy you," Don Depp roared, slamming his fist on the table.

"You can give up on being friends with me."

"Ten million, that's the most I can give."

"3000 million, that's the lowest I can go. General Tang Depu, I'm reminding you again, you can give up on being friends with me."

Tang Depu was no longer as amiable as before, and dared not raise the price any further.

He regretted not agreeing to the price of 20 million earlier.

"If I give you this price, can you guarantee I'll have exclusive access to all information about Yang Ding?"

"Of course, I'll tell you where I'm going and who I'm going with as soon as possible."

"How come I've never heard your grandmother mention you, her grandson? There are over a hundred grandsons in the Wang family."

"My father is He Hongxiang, and my grandfather is He Lianting. You can go and find out more about them."

General Tang Depu silently watched Yang Ding. He didn't quite believe in this guy, but he didn't want to lose this opportunity.

He had been sailing in the East China Sea for over twenty years and had never seen a mermaid.

Ye Rou's palms were sweating with nervousness, afraid that Tang Depu would not fall for her trick. He was asking for thirty million right off the bat, which was no faster than hunting.

My husband's way of making money is definitely unconventional.

With 3000 million power-type beast crystals, corresponding to 300 million jin of strength, Ye Rou's cultivation can increase by 50%, and Yang Ding can also break through to the lower fifth rank.

"Honey, look how stingy he is. He probably can't come up with that many beast crystals. Let's hurry up, it's almost dawn."

Ye Rou quickly offered her assistance.

Zhou Ruoxi urged, "Yes, a space-type beast crystal worth ten million will eventually rise to thirty million in market value."

Yang Ding stood up. "Captain Tang Depu, thank you for inviting us to visit. Let's make friends again when there's a good opportunity in the future."

Don Depp suddenly stood up. "Who said I can't produce it?"

He crawled under the table, opened the safe, and took out three Rank 6 Beast Cores. "Each one is worth ten million. It's not that I can't afford it, but I'm afraid you'll renege on the debt if I give it to you."

Yang Ding was secretly delighted. The more money he collected, the more ruthless he would be when dealing with the Wang family.

"I will report Yang Ding's information truthfully, but if you misjudge him, don't blame me."

Tang Depu didn't understand the significance of those words and handed the beast core to Yang Ding.

"Okay, no problem."

Yang Ding took the beast crystal and calmly inspected the goods. "Hmm, the sincerity is indeed quite good. From now on, you, General Tang Depu, will be my dearest friend and family."

Tang Depu's expression finally softened. "Closer than your brother-in-law Yang?"

"Absolutely."

"Hehe, alright, I'm all set and waiting for good news. Once I catch Yang Ding, I'll immediately give you a beast core worth 2000 million."

He felt that a greedy person was easier to control.

Yang Ding left the White Eagle Kingdom's submarine with three women and returned to the Jinglong submarine with Ruiya and Zhang Peng.

There were markings inside the Jinglong, and Ruiya immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Is that a submarine from the East China Sea Navy?"
