Chapter 41

How to Take Advantage of a Vulnerability

After the four finished dinner, Fang Dalong wanted to go to Fang Jing's house to sleep.

"Aren't you going back to your own home?" Fang Jing asked.

"I can go back and check on you tomorrow morning, and spend more time with you."

Unexpectedly, Fang Jing said, "You've finally come back to the city, go and spend time with your wife and kids. Ye Rou and I are together, so don't worry."

Fang Dalong was very reluctant; he wanted to go along and observe.

He was worried that Yang Ding would take advantage of his sister's sadness and distress.

The Fang family actually holds a very high position in the Imperial military, at least in the upper-middle ranks.

My sister is also a rare and valuable talent-type spatial ability user, so she could easily find a high-ranking family member to marry into.

A guy like Yang Ding is not fit to be his brother-in-law at all.

"I called my parents a couple of days ago, and they told me to spend more time with you. They might go back to Jiangling City at the end of the year to see if they can transfer you to Donghai City."

"Oh, so you've become a good boy now, willing to listen to your parents?" Fang Jing asked irritably.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. You don't appreciate my kindness."

Fang Dalong threw down his chopsticks, clearly annoyed, and decided to go home.

But he still didn't forget to warn Yang Ding.

"The latest information from the law enforcement team is that there are definitely ghost kings and queens underground in Jiangling City, and there may be more than one. They must be eradicated, otherwise they will multiply wildly and the entire Jiangling City will be hollowed out."

"You specially recruited freshmen might just be sacrifices and bait. If you want your child to be born with a father, work hard to improve your skills and don't focus all your attention on women."

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Fang."

"Don't try to establish connections randomly."

Fang Dalong felt envious and jealous of Yang Ding. He had gotten the goddess pregnant, so surely his sister couldn't be his too.

Fang Jing laughed awkwardly, "My brother has this stubborn temper. When he comes to my house, he acts like a king, making a mess, and I have to serve him."

The emptiness and pain in her heart could never be filled by her younger brother.

The siblings barely exchanged a few words while together, which was far less interesting than living with Yang Ding and Ye Rou.

The three of them chatted and laughed, sometimes creating a slightly awkward and tempting atmosphere.

Yang Ding had been observing the conversation between the siblings.

Women are emotional creatures; by controlling their emotions, you can control their minds and bodies.

In the era of polygamy, men who wanted to keep their multiple wives obedient had to have the ability to control them.

Yang Ding plans to marry only genius girls, each of whom will be a top-notch expert.

If wives are not on good terms, they could tear the whole building down in a second, and life would be unbearable.

"Your brother is all talk and no action, but he's soft on the inside."

Fang Jing's eyes lit up; it was clear that Yang Ding had hit the nail on the head.

"Really? Don't you two get along?"

"Back at the farm, he said he didn't care whether I lived or died, but he still came looking for me after get off work. Luckily, the building collapsed at that time, otherwise he would have been attacked by the White Walkers too."

Fang Jing appreciated this statement, as it at least showed that Yang Ding acknowledged her closest family member.

The family members she cared about most, besides this child, were her younger brother, Fang Dalong.

The two grew up together in a maternity and children's home and depended on each other for survival.

"Yes, yes, that's the kind of person my brother is. He's very loyal and values ​​relationships. You'll be working together in the law enforcement team from now on, so you should look out for each other."

After the three finished their meal, they took turns carrying the child and walking around the school grounds.

When Fang Jing holds the baby, Yang Ding and his wife Ye Rou hold hands, chatting and laughing, discussing how to name the child.

At this moment, Fang Jing would feel superfluous and feel a bittersweet envy.

This was actually Yang Ding's psychological manipulation of her.

No matter how proud you are, how talented you are, or how well-off your family is, you are still a woman, afraid of loneliness, and in need of a man's care.

As this sense of loss accumulates, Fang Jing develops a latent desire to join.

That would be Yang Ding's chance, if his first wife, Ye Rou, didn't object.

Back home, Ye Rou lay on the bed to rest and asked Yang Ding to help Fang Jing bathe and apply talcum powder to the child.

Physically, there is no difference between people with superpowers and ordinary people. Fang Jing has to work during the day and take care of her child alone at night, which is actually very strenuous.

However, Ye Rou's intention to deliberately help Yang Ding and Fang Jing get together was also very clear.

Normally, a woman wouldn't let her husband spend time alone with her beautiful best friend.

If she really wants to learn how to take care of a child, she can do it herself.

With her own cultivation level, she could fight while pregnant without any problem, let alone such effortless housework.

Fang Jing was so smart that she naturally saw through Ye Rou's intentions.

She couldn't accept it, regardless of their relationship, her longing for her husband, or especially Yang Ding's social status.

But she didn't object, and tacitly agreed to bathe the child with Yang Ding, even feeling a little happy about it.

She also tacitly accepted that her daughter called Yang Ding "Dad," and felt that it would be impolite to deliberately correct her.

"The monthly exams are dangerous right now. You should use this time to practice your skills more. You're a father now, so you can't let Ye Rou become a widow. No matter how strong a woman is in martial arts, she will always need a man emotionally."

"There should be a balance between relaxation and intensity. Practicing continuously won't be very effective. I'm currently practicing for nine hours a day. If I still can't improve, then adding more time won't help."

When Yang Ding said this, he was very calm and showed no fear whatsoever.

This is clearly abnormal; ordinary people would have an extremely high mortality rate if they went down into a cave hundreds of meters deep to fight thousands of White Walkers.

"You don't seem afraid to go down into the cave?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Of all my classmates, I'm the only one who has ever faced a White Walker head-on. These things aren't very strong in defense; they're just fast and sneak up on you with sneaky attacks. I'll break through to the lower first rank soon, and with the Black Gold Sword, killing them will be more than enough."

"You've already broken through to the lower first rank?" Fang Jing exclaimed in surprise.

Her younger brother, Fang Dalong, was of mediocre talent and only broke through to the lower first rank after finishing his first year of university.

Yang Ding nodded. "Eight hundred jin of strength is only required for the lower level of the first rank. I should be about that level. Besides, Ye Rou said that I have a strong ability to comprehend swordsmanship and can easily defeat opponents of higher levels."

"In other words, although I am only at the lower level of the first rank, I have a chance to defeat a martial artist at the middle level of the first rank if I use a sword."

As he spoke, Fang Jing watched him silently, her face full of admiration.

"Your personality is a bit like my husband's."

"Jing-jie, what are you saying? Your husband is a fire-type ability user from a gifted youth program."

"Confidence is essential. It doesn't matter if a man is less gifted; he can make up for it with hard work. But he must be confident so that a woman can feel secure and at ease."
