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

The Jinglong Empire's internet is controlled by satellite, and its IT department is located in the capital city, so Murong Yan can do whatever she wants.

Yang Ding led his wives into the military barracks apartment.

"I guess so, but you should still make sure no one finds out when you use it in the future."

"Okay, honey."

The four wives responded in unison, including Ye Ke.

She just hated Yang Ding for being a scoundrel, but he never messed up when it came to serious matters.

The group was immediately noticed as they entered the elevator.

The people here are all unshaven and smelly, so how come there are a few fair-skinned young men who smell so good?

Mu Qingyao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. She pushed up her black-rimmed glasses and turned to look at the tall man on her right.

"Look at your mother! Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out."

The tall man was a sixth-rank lower-level cultivator and a lieutenant-level soldier, who completely disregarded these young men.

"What are you looking at? You dare to grow this big? Can't I even look at you?"

"Never mind, whatever, you're so beautiful."

Yang Ding pulled Mu Qingyao into his arms and, in front of more than twenty burly men, gave her a long, passionate kiss.

The burly men swallowed hard, and one of them, enraged, clenched his fist, which was the size of a sandbag.

"Damn it, kill him! This is provocation!"

"Young man, which city-state are you from?"

Yang Ding remained calm. "Jiangling City."

"What level of cultivation?"

"My mere S-rank is nothing to brag about."

"You, an S-rank, dare to come to District 34? Who gave you the guts?"

"Bringing such a beautiful woman to the North? Aren't you afraid she'll be stolen?"

"He's probably from a wealthy family; they have a lot of money."

"There are only four or five wealthy families in Jiangling City. What's your surname, kid?"

"Yang!"

The burly men looked at each other, a little uneasy.

Jiangling City did indeed produce a Yang Ding. That brat not only married the Queen but also became the Regent of the Jinglong Empire. He shouldn't have come to this godforsaken place.

Do you know Yang Ding?

"I don't know him. He's two years behind me. If I could get on his good side, I'd go to the capital to become a member of the Imperial Guard. Who would come here to be a soldier? It's freezing cold, and we can't even get a hot meal."

"That's true."

Yang Ding and his group exited the elevator on the 24th floor.

Although each section has 30 floors, it is very wide horizontally, with hundreds of rooms on each floor.

The smallest is 20 square meters, and the largest is 100 square meters.

The average cultivation level in District 34 is Martial Arts Grade 6 and Supernatural Ability Grade SS. They are top experts in any city-state, but on the front line, they are only lower-middle-ranking soldiers. Their income is needed to support their families, buy cultivation resources for themselves, and cope with daily life, so they try to save money on rent.

Some 20-square-meter dormitories have four double beds and house seven or eight experts, since they usually spend most of their time hunting outside the city.

Room 2402 is located very far back; it takes more than 20 minutes to walk there from the elevator.

The access control screen was unusually old, as if it were covered with a layer of dust, at least ten or twenty years old.

Human technology made rapid progress before the great catastrophe. Although there was not much progress in the next 20 years, the quality was still excellent.

Yang Ding rang the doorbell.

"Who is it?" a man's voice came from inside.

"Your brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law? What brother-in-law?"

Ye Rou asked softly, "Honey, did we go to the wrong door?"

With a clang, the security door opened, and Qin Xiangyu, along with 30 core members of the Poison Sting gang, knelt on the ground.

Yang Ding and his wives quickly went inside and closed the door.

Mu Qingyao snapped her fingers at the green plants on the balcony, instantly creating a green soundproofing layer.

"Rise, all of you. From now on, there's no need for formalities in the Northern Territory. Just get to the point."

"Yes, Regent."

The thirty core members were all illegitimate children of the five major families in Jiangling City.

Although Yang Ding doesn't like this structure, there isn't time to modify it yet.

Yang Ding scanned them, "Any descendants of Zhao Lie?"

The five members were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they knelt down again.

"Regent, spare us! We are..."

"What's their relationship with Zhao Lie?"

"I am the illegitimate son of Zhao Lie's five sons."

"I am the illegitimate daughter of Zhao Liesan's illegitimate son."

"I am the illegitimate son of Zhao Lie's sixteenth daughter."

The complicated relationship left Yang scratching his head. "Do you know anything about the Zhao family?"

"Know!"

"What is your relationship with Zhao Lie?"

"We came to the North to serve as soldiers when we were adults, and we've hardly ever seen him. Our main contact with him was to secretly pass on inside information about Stinger."

"Are you all married?"

Qin Xiangyu quickly replied, "I already have a wife and children."

"Now I'm giving you a choice. If you choose to continue serving, your future will be bright. If you don't quit and hold a grudge, then you and your family will suffer a terrible fate. Answer me in three days."

Qin Xiangyu quickly waved her hand, "You should leave now. Remember what the Regent said, or don't blame me for not showing any mercy later."

After the five descendants of the Zhao family left.

Qin Xiangyu began to introduce the remaining twenty-five core members to Yang Ding. The lowest cultivation level among them was at the upper fifth rank, and the highest was actually SSS level, several ranks higher than Qin Xiangyu.

However, since the Stinger organization is absolutely controlled by Zhou Liren, all of these things must obey the orders of Zhou's illegitimate children.

"From now on, you can report directly to me when you are in the North. Do they know where I live?" Yang Ding asked.

"I know."

Who are the people in North City?

Five key members stepped forward and reported to Yang Ding on the latest situation of the Xiong family in Northern Border City.

"Your Majesty, I am the third wife of Xiong Lao Er's grandson. I have heard that they have recently been secretly colluding with the Giant Bear Empire."

"Where are we at?"

"It is said that two Grandmasters of the Xiong family are going to marry two female Grandmasters of the Giant Bear Empire."

"Is the female grandmaster of the Giant Bear Empire unmarried?"

"They're married, but for grandmasters, there are no restrictions on such matters, and their husbands dare not object."

In the past, it was always the children of grandmasters who married each other, but now it's happening directly between male and female grandmasters who are over a hundred years old.

They were really going all out to resist Yang Ding.

The supplies for nearly 30 million soldiers in the North are all stored in North City, where many of their families also live.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Xiong family indirectly controlled most of the Jinglong Empire's army.

"No wonder those two old dogs in the royal city didn't make a sound last time; they had already planned their escape route."

"The two grandmasters of the Giant Bear Empire are one specializing in space and the other in water. Both of them are martial arts masters, which is probably aimed at the Regent."

"Didn't Empress Malena object?"

"I don't know about that. Theoretically, this kind of marriage would pose a huge threat to her throne."

"Okay, I got it. You should go back now and make sure no one finds out. Under no circumstances should you reveal my whereabouts."

"yes!"

After saying this, the female assassin fled. She was Jiang Zhongtian's youngest illegitimate daughter.
