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

The Queen's personal female guards had prepared wine and food. Yang Ding sat in the main seat, flanked by Murong Yan and Mu Qingyao.

Although Ye Ke was also dressed in a bright red wedding gown, she sat quietly in the farthest place.

She was indeed the sixth in line, and the only one who had never consummated her marriage with her husband.

Ye Rou knew her sister's personality; forcing her wouldn't work, so she sensibly tried to attract her sister's attention.

She picked up the wine jug and poured wine for the bride.

"Sister Jing, Sister Ruoxi, let's three older sisters toast our three younger sisters."

"Okay, we're pregnant, so let's just have a small sip," Zhou Ruoxi asked.

"Yes, from now on we're a family. We'll revolve around my husband, live and die together, and lead humanity into the universe." Fang Jing nodded.

The six wives respected and loved each other, were as close as sisters, and lived in harmony.

A smart woman knows what's important and her place in the family; she won't throw tantrums or act crazy, which makes things much easier for her husband.

Murong Yan smiled and said, "Elder sister, why don't you lead us in toasting my husband again?"

Ye Rou almost choked. "Your Majesty, you and Master Mu don't need to call me 'Big Sister,' do you?"

"At home, we should naturally respect the Yang family's rules, but in public, we should address each other by our official titles, how about that?" Murong Yan asked with a smile.

Her attitude was sincere, so Ye Rou had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.

She was the youngest of these sisters, a solid 19 years old, and unexpectedly became the eldest sister.

"Alright, as Your Majesty would like to do. Sisters, please stand up."

Ye Rou and her five younger sisters stood up at the same time, respectfully holding their wine glasses, and shouted in unison, "Wishing my husband a happy marriage, good health, and endless revelry every night."

Ye Ke really couldn't bring herself to say the toast. What did she mean by "nightly revelry"? Her sister had been corrupted by Yang Ding.

Yang Ding also picked up his wine glass and stood up, saying, "I will always be the best, so that every wife can live like a god."

"Thank you, honey. You've worked so hard!"

All six wives raised their glasses at the same time and downed them in one gulp.

Ye Rou couldn't help but laugh out loud. This house was so lively, and she had even become the eldest sister.

"whee!"

Just as the wives were amused by her, Liuli walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty the Regent, Your Majesty the Queen, and the General, something has happened in the East Sea."

"What is it?" Mu Qingyao asked quickly.

"Wang Xuehua announced to the world that she has officially broken away from the Jinglong Empire today and established the Dongying Empire in Donghai City, proclaiming herself the Great Ying Emperor and renaming the Donghai Law Enforcement Bureau the Dongying Army."

"The Great Sakura Emperor?"

Yang Ding was shocked by the name; he really was an uncultured guy.

"Yes."

"Did she attack the East Navy?" Mu Qingyao asked.

"She said that out of respect for Master Mu, the East Sea Navy could continue to be stationed there, but any future entry into East Sea City would require formal approval."

Yang Ding didn't expect Wang Xuehua to act so quickly; she probably made up her mind as soon as she received the news of Zhao Lie's execution.

"Send her a notice that the King will personally visit her tomorrow."

"yes!"

After Liuli left, Mu Qingyao felt a little uneasy.

"The generals of the Eastern Navy are all in the royal city. Wang Xuehua alone can wipe out a million Eastern Navy soldiers. I will go and guard the city now."

"Tonight is your wedding night, Fang Jing and I will go. We can hold out until tomorrow," Zhou Ruoxi said.

With the support of Mu Qingyao and Yang Dingmu's wood-elemental abilities, she and Fang Jing have been cultivating very quickly these past few days, and have already reached the SSSSS level.

Even if they can't win, they can at least escape with the East Navy.

Fang Jing nodded quickly, "Yes, honey, if she really attacks, I can use my spatial teleportation to return to the royal city and notify you at any time."

"Hmm, that works too. Your cultivation levels are indeed high enough to stand on your own." Yang Ding nodded.

Mu Qingyao took out her token and handed it to Zhou Ruoxi.

"I appoint you and Fang Jing as acting commanders-in-chief of the East Navy. Activate spatial teleportation and have Zhang Beiye bring the ten generals back with you."

"it is good."

Zhou Ruoxi and Fang Jing immediately returned to their room to pack their luggage, while Yao Guangwei went to notify Zhang Beiye to assemble his troops.

If the East Sea Navy is attacked, those strange beasts in the East Sea will come ashore and eat ordinary people.

Yang, holding a wine glass, opened a spatial portal leading directly to Dongying Wharf, 5000 kilometers away, and sent a notification to Alexander Khan and General Tang Depu.

"You will land on the north side of Donghai City. If Wang Xuehua attacks the Donghai Navy, you will go to the Donghai Financial Center and wipe out her family."

"Okay, leave it to me. Can I launch a nuclear missile?" Don Depp asked.

"No way. There are 30 million people in the East China Sea. If you launch a nuclear missile, I'll twist your head off."

Don Depp nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I understand, I understand perfectly. We'll set off now and should arrive at our destination before dark."

After closing the spatial portal, Yang Ding raised his glass. "Let's continue."

Ye Ke asked in a low voice, "Zhou Ruoxi and Fang Jing don't have any fighting skills, so should I go with them to protect them?"

"But you are a member of the Northern Legion, and you are today's bride."

"I'm just your sixth wife in name only. I'm not going to consummate our marriage tonight."

"No need, Sister Ruoxi and Sister Jing's cultivation levels are more than enough to protect themselves."

Ye Ke had no choice but to keep quiet.

Zhang Beiye was drinking baijiu and eating fifth-tier beast meat sent from the Northern Territory with ten of his generals when he heard the news, and his face turned green.

"Holy crap, Wang Xuehua has become empress."

Fang Hongbo looked completely bewildered. "What kind of 'Emperor' is she calling herself?"

"Great Sakura Emperor!"

"???"

Zhang Beiye picked up his wine bowl. "Drink this cup and return to Donghai City immediately. The commander-in-chief is getting married today and it is not advisable for her to go back. We must help her defend the city, otherwise the 30 million people of Donghai City will suffer."

"yes!"

Zhou Ruoxi and Fang Jing, carrying small suitcases, met up with the East Navy generals and boarded the ship directly to the barracks.

With their commander gone, the million soldiers in the barracks were chatting idly.

Fang Hongbo returned to the Fifth District barracks and roared, "Notify all captains to come to my office for a meeting."

"yes!"

"Notify all lieutenants to assemble fully armed and await further orders."

"Yes."

The soldiers were a little panicked, not knowing what was happening.

Fang Jing and Zhou Ruoxi, at home, activated a spatial channel to monitor the Donghai Financial Center and the Donghai Law Enforcement Bureau.

The Donghai Financial Center now displays a huge sign for the Dongying Imperial Palace.

The sign for the East Sea Law Enforcement Bureau has been changed to the East Sakura Empire Headquarters.

"The East China Sea Law Enforcement Bureau is different from Jiangling; at least 10,000 to 20,000 of them are experts of the fifth or sixth rank or above."

"Then why not go to the Northern Territory or the Eastern Navy? They wouldn't allow this, would they?" Fang Jing asked.

"They're hiding their strength. We got our information through Poison Sting. These people should all be citizens or descendants of the Eastern Cherry Kingdom."

"It seems the plan to restore the nation has been brewing for a long time."

"certainly."

As soon as Zhou Ruoxi finished speaking, Fang Jing pointed to the rooftop of the Donghai Financial Center.

"Look, look! Wang Xuehua is putting on her imperial robes. Those dozens of people standing there are probably her descendants or confidants."
