Are we that familiar?

Ye Rou didn't want to develop real feelings for Yang Ding, and she handled their marital relationship in a rigid and formal way, as if she were doing a business transaction.

But Yang Ding wanted to win her heart, and he had to do so, both in terms of his affection for his wife and the system's level of affection.

"It's still early. Let's take a walk after we finish eating to digest, and then we can come back and run our errands."

Ye Rou was slightly taken aback. Yang Ding wanted to date her.

"Shouldn't you use your walk time for cultivation? You've received the true energy I've transmitted; you need to learn how to circulate it throughout your body's meridians to strengthen your muscles, bones, and skin. You don't have much time left, Mr. Yang."

"I promise I'll pass the monthly exam. I don't think I'm bad at aptitude; I just lack an opportunity to activate it, and that opportunity is you."

Ye Rou was speechless. Cultivation was never that easy.

"What if all you say is nice things, but it still doesn't get approved?"

"Even if we have to raise pigs in the future, you don't need to feel guilty. Ye Rou has already done more than enough for Yang Ding."

Ye Rou had no choice but to nod. "Alright, you're an adult, and you're about to become a father. This is something you have to do on your own. I can't force you."

After dinner, Yang Ding quickly washed the dishes, and Ye Rou put on a shirt, planning to go for a walk outside.

After the two entered the elevator, they leaned against a corner, and soon many instructors and their spouses came in.

"Instructor Ye, go for a walk."

"Yes, Instructor Sun, Instructor Hu."

Where are you planning to go shopping?

"I'm taking my husband to visit the maternity and children's hospital, and while we're at it, we'll register the baby for a bed."

"Instructor Ye is already preparing to be a mother so quickly."

"Once you're married, you just follow the steps."

Everyone was envious of Yang Ding. Ye Rou not only had excellent qualities, but also had a straightforward personality. She wouldn't cause trouble or make things difficult for anyone; she was definitely a good wife.

Previously, there were at least a hundred unmarried male instructors in this building who pursued her and her sister, but they all refused to date them.

Now, the system malfunctioned and suddenly paired her up with an ordinary person.

Ye Rou smiled and brushed off each colleague who came in, while Yang Ding took the opportunity to hold her hand.

She didn't dare to make any big movements and struggled a few times, but Yang Ding not only didn't let go, but also took advantage of the situation and intertwined his fingers with hers.

A warm current struck Ye Rou's girlish heart; for a girl, this feeling was no less than a first kiss or losing her virginity.

A prompt also appeared on the system panel.

【Affection Level: 4.9%↑, +0.4%】

[Cultivation Progress: 5.1%↑, +0.4%]

The security guards downstairs were stunned to see Yang Ding and Ye Rou walking out of the elevator hand in hand.

If an ordinary pig farmer can quickly subdue a beauty like Instructor Ye, then they should be able to do the same. Why did the system match these two together?

Ye Rou was already a celebrity at Jiangling University. All the teachers and students on campus knew her, and wherever she went, she was the center of attention and discussion.

"Either let go of my hand, or we go out for a walk. I'm embarrassed by people staring at me."

"Let's go out and check the weapons."

"The weapons market is also full of teachers and students from the school."

"You're my wife, can't I even hold your hand?"

Yang Ding held on even tighter; those little hands were so smooth and tender, it felt incredibly comfortable. Why wouldn't he enjoy it?

Why shouldn't I show off having a wife like this?

Ye Rou couldn't resist his insistence and had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, I'd like to give you a weapon too."

When they arrived at the mall entrance, Ye Rou tried to shake off Yang Ding's hand.

Yang Ding went even further, directly putting his arm around her slender waist and swaggering in under the envious gazes of everyone.

Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you for living off a woman?

"They laugh at me for being a kept man, but I laugh at them for not being able to afford it."

"Pfft! You're so shameless."

Ye Rou had no choice but to let him hug her if he wanted to. She would just do her job as a wife and fulfill her duties as a wife.

As long as the two are still husband and wife, her body belongs to Yang Ding, so what does it matter if they hold hands or hug?

The weapons market is directly operated by the empire and is the most upscale commercial venue in the university town. It not only sells various high-level weapons, but also various cultivation pills and common cultivation techniques.

For those with good talent, the university provides sufficient training resources.

Those who aren't naturally gifted have to rely on their families to spend money on them; their parents' hard-earned money has to be poured into this shopping mall.

Those who have neither talent nor money should honestly join the law enforcement team and do grassroots work after graduation.

Ye Rou is the goddess of the boys in the martial arts academy; wherever she goes, she becomes the center of attention.

"Mr. Yang, look at the way those senior brothers are looking at you. They wish they could tear you apart. Aren't you ashamed?"

"What are you feeling guilty about? If anyone dares to touch me, my wife will kill him first."

"I can give birth to my third child in a year and a half. By then, you won't have even graduated. How will you protect yourself?"

"Don't worry, I won't be afraid of them anymore in a year and a half."

Ye Rou was helpless; Yang Ding had no idea about the difficulty of cultivation.

She'll have no choice but to entrust her confident husband to her best friend.

Ye Rou led Yang Ding to the sword and knife counter.

"Since you've just awakened, I suggest you use a sword or knife, preferably with a shield for both offense and defense."

The lower-level martial artists in the enforcement team have limited cultivation levels and are mostly skilled in melee weapons, which are easy to master.

If one's own physical strength is insufficient, a shield can be used to compensate.

But Yang Ding shook his head and turned to look at the store's prized possession, the "Iron Blood Gun," which was displayed independently in the center of the mall.

"You don't want to use a gun too, do you?"

"My wife uses a gun, so naturally I should use a gun too."

"Shots are hard to master, and high-end guns are very expensive, while ordinary guns are easy to break."

Yang Ding walked step by step toward the Iron Blood Spear, looking at the gleaming spearhead and the silver-gray shaft that was a full two meters long.

He seemed to instantly connect with the gun, his eyes gleaming with longing.

"Honey, how much did this gun cost?"

Five million.

"Holy crap, five million?"

Yang Ding could no longer walk.

"Yes, you can get a loan, but the down payment is two million, and with interest, it will come to six or seven million in the end."

"Why is it so expensive?"

"This is an alien weapon, rare in number. It is a pair with my Soul-Severing Spear. It can shrink to two feet in length and has a mother-and-child spearhead, making it infinitely versatile. As long as the user is strong enough, it is almost indestructible. The technology on Earth cannot currently produce it."

"Forget it, it's not interesting."

Ye Rou also breathed a sigh of relief. Without being able to go to the northern frontier and without interest-free benefits, using such advanced weapons was pointless; she wouldn't make any money back at all.

She bought the Soul-Severing Spear for only 3.5 million, and still has a loan of over 1 million to pay off.

My sister's Ironblood Bow still has a loan of seven or eight hundred thousand yuan, which is simply not enough to support so many expensive weapons.

Xiang Bin and his son Xiang Tianyou were also there selecting weapons when they heard their conversation and burst into laughter.

"Instructor Ye is so generous to her husband. How could an ordinary martial artist who can't awaken his powers possibly wield that gun?"

"Instructor Xiang, we're just here to take a look," Ye Rou replied coldly.

Xiang Tianyou and Yang Ding were high school classmates, but in different classes. Recently, Yang Ding has become very famous among their classmates; everyone knows him.

He glanced at his incredibly ugly wife beside him, then at the stunning beauty beside Yang Ding, and was consumed by jealousy.

"Hey Yang Ding, you've got a taste for being a kept man, huh? Instructor Ye is a girl, do you think it's easy for her to earn money? How dare you ask for a five million Ironblood Gun?"

Yang Ding knew that after tonight, his cultivation level would catch up with, or even surpass, his tutor, not to mention his silly son, so he was not afraid at all.

"Are we that close? It's none of your business what we, husband and wife, are talking about."

"You fucking..."

Xiang Tianyou was a prominent figure in high school, and after awakening, he became even more arrogant, completely disregarding Yang Ding and Hu Feng's group.
