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

After receiving a substantial benefit, the pain on Wang Xuehua's face vanished.

She can marry many husbands.

She can have dozens of children a year.

With a wave of her hand, the frozen White Eagle military base thawed, and of the three thousand White Eagle soldiers who had been frozen, only a few died, while most of them came back to life.

She didn't want to make enemies of other empires before dealing with the mermaid beast.

"Tell me as soon as you see Alexander Khan, otherwise you'll have to pay for his most advanced nuclear submarine next time I come."

Tang Depu was a little unconvinced, "The traffic cop only issues one ticket, why are you doing this again?"

"The East Sea and East Cherry Blossom are both my territory; I can come and go as I please."

Wang Xuehua landed on the aircraft carrier deck, waved her hand, and the 12-ton aircraft carrier sped across the sea, heading straight for Donghai City.

Normally, this aircraft carrier's top speed is only 60 kilometers per hour, but at this moment, with the engines not even running, under the control of the Grandmaster of Water Systems, the speed exceeds 300 kilometers per hour.

Strictly speaking, this is not the aircraft carrier moving on the water, but rather the seawater carrying the aircraft carrier forward.

Several crew members on deck were not prepared and were blown into the water by the sea breeze.

Tang Depu only started cursing after Wang Xuehua left with the aircraft carrier.

"Fuck you, this old woman is treating us like pigs to be slaughtered."

"General, our aircraft carriers have all been stolen. What will we use to transport mechs in the future? Should we report this to the Empire and have them send a Grandmaster to come and punish us?"

Tang Depu thought for a moment.

"No rush. I feel that this is all a conspiracy by that Queen Jinglong. She definitely wants to get rid of Wang Xuehua. Let's wait until Princess Murong's coming-of-age ceremony before making a decision."

"What if your feeling is wrong?"

"I'm a five-star general, I can't be wrong."

His subordinate looked at him with disdain. "They've already extorted the aircraft carrier, and they're still bragging about it."

……

The ruins of Zhongshan Royal City.

Yang Ding, holding his third wife Zhou Ruoxi's hand and wearing a headlamp, wandered around, searching for traces of the mermaid beast.

Unlike the lively atmosphere last time, this time there were only the couple and two water-elemental Yao Guang Guards in the entire seabed, creating a very oppressive and chilly atmosphere.

Zhou Ruoxi, who had experienced many trials and tribulations, still felt her scalp tingle and clung tightly to Yang Ding's hand.

She would occasionally look back, as if something was watching her.

The deep sea is teeming with high-level hunters like the Human-Headed Dragon, Bubble Beast, and One-Eyed Crab, as well as the King of the East Sea Dragon, which we've never encountered before. You could be attacked if you're not careful.

Yang Ding put his arm around his third wife's waist to comfort her.

He remained calm, knowing that if they encountered danger, the mermaid beast would most likely come to their rescue, saving him the trouble of searching everywhere in this godforsaken place.

Inside the portable space, Ye Rou and Mu Lan, wearing oxygen masks, were chatting enthusiastically.

"Sister Mulan, how old are you this year?"

"Hmm...20."

She understated her age by 100 years.

"You're only 20 and you're already so well-developed. Have you ever been in a relationship?"

"These days, who cares about dating? I want to get married, and I can find anyone I want."

"That's true, so you're still a virgin."

Mu Lan's eyes darted around, and she immediately became alert.

This girl is going to repeat the same old tune again.

"Why do you talk like an old woman, always talking about trivial things like men and women?"

"Women realize how good men are once they get married, so of course they'll get together and talk about men."

Mu Lan took off her mask and said to Ye Rou in an annoyed tone, "What do you want to do? Do you have to force me to marry your husband?"

Ye Rou scratched her head. "Are you sure you want to hear what's on my mind?"

"Of course, otherwise you'd be chattering away all day long, you'd be really clueless, and I don't know what you're like Master Ye in any way."

"Then I'll tell you, you can't get angry, and you can't hit me."

Ye Rou is indeed about to unleash her ultimate move.

"Spit it out!"

"Hehe, are you Grandmaster Mu Qingyao? The reason you haven't married yet is because you're waiting for my husband. Was all of this arranged by the Queen?"

"The three of us were all chosen by the Queen, so I guess you're the fourth one."

Mu Lan glared at Ye Rou, looking like she was about to explode.

But in the end, she held back.

Because Ye Rou guessed every single one of her sentences correctly.

She just felt she had been cheated and couldn't bring herself to do it.

The empire's youngest and most beautiful Grandmaster, the Supreme General of Yaoguang Guard, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Navy, is about to marry a young man from a pig-farming background.

And you can only be the fourth oldest, can you even imagine that?

How could she possibly face the other grandmasters? She'd be laughed at!

"You're the fourth one, your whole family are the fourth ones."

Ye Rou chuckled to ease the tension, "No, my sister is also a martial artist, so it shouldn't be her turn."

"That's not necessarily true."

Ye Rou didn't take those four words to heart and continued to pester him.

"My husband's advice is actually more rational. If you marry him and truly love him, he will possess at least S+, or even SS+ level abilities. If you are injured in the fight with Wang Xuehua, he can save your life."

"Those injured by Wang Xuehua will either die or be crippled. Even if they are saved, they probably won't be able to cultivate. What's the point of living then?"

"You can't think like that. You still have your children and family to keep you company. My husband is the one who makes the decisions in my family. He would never mistreat you."

"family?"

These words warmed Mu Lan's heart.

She had long forgotten what family meant.

One hundred years ago, the Great Catastrophe began, and her parents were eaten by alien beasts.

Unlike other single women, Mu Qingyao has no problem with men. She does want to find someone she likes to marry and have children. The feeling of being alone for a hundred years is something that ordinary people cannot understand.

"Yes, we are all your family. We will fight side by side and never abandon each other. This is the ideal solution."

Mu Lan was actually persuaded by Ye Rou's persistent pleading.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Ye Rou was so happy she couldn't stop smiling; she had found another wife for her husband.

"Okay, then you should think about it quickly. Wang Xuehua has lost so many husbands and could go berserk at any time. You can give birth every seven days. If you ask your husband to work harder, you might be able to give birth to two or even three before the final battle."

"..."

While the two girls were chatting, Yang Ding sneezed a few times in the water, and his left eyelid kept twitching.

A left-leaning sign indicates wealth, while a right-leaning sign indicates disaster. Could something good be about to happen?

Just as I finished muttering that, my right eyelid started twitching.

He put his arm around Zhou Ruoxi and walked through the Zhongshan Royal City Scenic Area, where they saw a dense cluster of high-rise buildings. This place must have been a modern city in the past.

Yao Guangwei Shuiyi, who was scouting ahead, suddenly turned off her searchlight and pointed anxiously at two red dots high up.

The two red dots seemed to be moving, getting bigger and closer, and the lighting effect was getting better and better.

This is a giant snake or dragon, hundreds of meters long, coiled around a residential building that is thirty or forty stories high.

"Could it be a dragon from the East China Sea?"

"No wonder no sea monsters attacked us tonight; they were all scared away."

Yang Ding thought to himself, "Holy crap!"

It is said that the spiritual power of the East Sea Flood Dragon far exceeds that of the SSSSS level, equivalent to the cultivation level of a grandmaster.

Even Wang Xuehua would avoid it when she saw it; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the underwater overlord of the East China Sea.

Suddenly, the two red dots accelerated and sped toward Yang Ding.

Two Yao Guang Guards, Shui Lan and Shui Yi, immediately stood in front of Yang Dingsheng, their left hands forming an ice shield two meters in diameter and their right hands forming an ice spear three meters long, ready to protect their master.

Yang Ding also opened a void rift behind him, ready to run away at any time. He wanted to wait for the merman beast to make a move.

If the mermaid beast doesn't intervene, it might be doomed.

"Come out quickly, come out quickly..."
