The students had all left by this time. Although there was still plenty of leftover food in the cafeteria, it had been mixed into an unappetizing mess.

Su Yuan didn't mind, though. He took out Chu Lanxi's meal card, ready to treat his "good son" to a feast.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared in Su Yuan's sight: Chen Nuoyi.

The Class Monitor of Class Two was acting suspiciously, with a clear air of stealth, heading towards a cafeteria window not far from Su Yuan.

Seeing Chen Nuoyi, Su Yuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen the esteemed top student of the class during the meal rush.

Without overthinking it, he raised his hand and called out, "Class Monitor, what a coincidence."

Hearing someone call her from behind, the girl's delicate body trembled slightly. She turned around flusteredly, and upon seeing it was Su Yuan, she cleared her throat with forced composure and asked, "Why are you eating so late?"

Su Yuan: "..."

Why is she using my words?

Before Su Yuan could respond, Chen Nuoyi took the initiative to explain, "If you wait until the cafeteria is almost closing, you can get more food for the same price."

Just then, a kind-faced auntie from the serving window said to Chen Nuoyi, "Chen girl, it's all prepared for you. Take it and eat. It's the normal price."

As she spoke, the cafeteria auntie took out a food basin larger than a washbasin and pushed it from the window to Chen Nuoyi.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Chen Nuoyi swiped her meal card and thanked her politely.

Holding the enormous food basin, she looked at a somewhat surprised Su Yuan and said sheepishly, "I'm still growing, so eating more is only human nature. You, you can understand, right...?"

After she finished speaking, a blush crept onto her usually cool and pretty face.

Seeing Su Yuan's continued silence, Chen Nuoyi became a little anxious.

"Su Yuan, please, I beg you, don't tell anyone... I can't help it. I can't afford precious ingredients, so I have to make up for it with a large quantity of cheap food..."

Su Yuan snapped back to reality and said earnestly to the cafeteria auntie, "Please, I must have the same large portion of food. I can eat it!"

Chen Nuoyi was stunned by his words, and a hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Before long, a giant food basin appeared before Su Yuan. He picked it up and tested its weight. Hmm, it was at least twenty jin.

Looking at the fragrant food in the basin, Su Yuan couldn't bother with anything else. He quickly scooped several spoonfuls into his mouth with his spoon, slightly suppressing the hunger in his stomach.

"Class Monitor, we're accomplices now. Shall we eat together?"

Su Yuan looked up and asked the still-dazed girl.

"Okay."

Chen Nuoyi nodded.

At that moment, Su Yuan suddenly realized something. He quickly touched the top of his head, vaguely feeling that it seemed a bit pointier than before.

Fortunately, his hair was thick, so it shouldn't be noticeable.

He hoped it would return to normal in two hours.

The two sat opposite each other at a dining table and, without further words, began to eat voraciously.

Even though Su Yuan could eat a lot and digest it all, his eating speed was not much faster than Chen Nuoyi's!

This shocked Su Yuan. Could it be that Class Monitor, with your honest appearance, is also on performance-enhancing drugs?

While they were eating, a cafeteria auntie suddenly walked over with a tray and placed three servings of food in front of Su Yuan, saying, "You're Su Yuan, right? These were left for you by three teachers before they left."

Su Yuan looked at the three dishes: one Black Horned Bull Bone Soup, one braised Shrimp with Tendons and Strength, and one Crystal Pig Head Meat.

Seeing the bull bone soup, Su Yuan understood. These dishes were clearly left by Zhuge Tie, Li Ziquan, and another teacher who had a favorable impression of him.

The unknown teacher was most likely their homeroom teacher, Yue Lin.

Su Yuan didn't hoard the food. He pushed the three dishes towards Chen Nuoyi and said, "Class Monitor, these are from a few teachers in our class. Let's eat together."

Chen Nuoyi shook her head and said faintly, "These are special dishes the teachers left for you. You should eat them yourself."

Su Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Class Monitor, you wouldn't want people at the School to know about your incredible appetite, would you...?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Nuoyi, who was diligently eating, stiffened. Shock gradually appeared in her clear, cold eyes.

"If you want me to keep this secret, you have to finish these three dishes with me!"

Su Yuan sneered. After saying this, he felt like a true Demon Lord himself.

"Okay... I'll eat them."

Chen Nuoyi lowered her head, like a virtuous young woman cornered by a villain and forced to submit.

But the moment she picked up a piece of crystal pig's head meat and put it in her mouth, her beautiful eyes lit up instantly, sparkling like jewels.

"Delicious!"

After that, she didn't need Su Yuan to urge her. She rapidly devoured the three dishes of delicacies herself.

At first, Su Yuan watched the scene with an indulgent smile, but when he saw Chen Nuoyi's eating speed increasing, his expression changed drastically!

"Leave some for me!"

He quickly joined Chen Nuoyi in a race for the food.

It had to be said that the food specially prepared for Foundation Establishment teachers was extraordinary, containing extremely abundant spiritual energy. If Su Yuan hadn't taken a small blue pill, the medicinal properties in these three dishes would have been lost by more than half.

But now, he could absorb all the nutrients from the food!

At the same time, a "ding-dong" sound echoed in Su Yuan's mind.

[You have discovered the Righteous Path Saintess's secret!]

What? Did I discover something that can be called a secret?

[The Righteous Path Saintess, admired by all and considered a favored child of heaven, is actually worried about household expenses in private, to the point where she can't even afford to eat! Wicked as you are, you keenly seized this opportunity, forcing the Righteous Path Saintess to submit to your lewd power and be compelled to eat this evil food tainted with the aura of the Devilish Dao!]

[Righteous Path Saintess's Corruption +5%]

[Task Progress: Corruption 10% (Cap 20%)]

Still slandering! Still slandering!

Su Yuan was already accustomed to the dog System's defamation; rather, it was... expected!

But this was good too. He was one step closer to completing the "Fallen Saintess" task.

Having witnessed Chen Nuoyi's distress over food twice in a row, Su Yuan had also noticed her dire financial situation.

With only 10% more Corruption needed to completely finish the "Fallen Saintess" task, Su Yuan felt it was necessary to ask Chen Nuoyi about her situation. Perhaps he could gain inspiration for luring this Righteous Path Saintess into corruption.

Judging by Chen Nuoyi's willingness to reveal her lack of money earlier, she probably wouldn't be uncomfortable discussing it.

With that thought, Su Yuan proactively asked:

"Class Monitor, what's been going on with you lately? I remember your family used to be quite wealthy. You were always picked up and dropped off by flying ships, so why now..."

Chen Nuoyi had almost finished eating by this time. She wiped her mouth with a napkin, and her expression returned to its usual cool demeanor. She said lightly:

"It's nothing, really. It's just that my dad's company lost 16.8 billion a while ago, so he doesn't have any living expenses to give me."

"But it's fine. I can go to school and work a part-time job now, and I can still live quite well."
