Centennial Deluge Sweeps Through Star Dou Great Forest

The ferocious beasts were at a loss.

Where were they supposed to find a rainbow?

"Rumble!"

A booming clap of thunder drew the five people's attention.

"That direction is... Star Dou Great Forest."

Di Tian narrowed his eyes.

"It's going to rain. It seems like a downpour too. That's rare."

Xiong Jun rubbed his eyes.

They normally never saw such torrential rain.

"Isn't this perfect? Once the rain passes, if a rainbow appears, I can take Yifeng there."

What a stroke of luck. It had started raining at just the right time.

Bi Ji's eyes lit up. "No, this is a Centennial Deluge, one that only comes once in a hundred years. The last one was a century ago. Even the clouds overhead are different from ordinary rain clouds."

"A Centennial Deluge?" Gu Yuena frowned. "Then how long will it last?"

"A week. The last one also lasted a week. After that Centennial Deluge, the rainbow was especially beautiful and lasted for an entire day."

Bi Ji remembered that time with great clarity.

For human villages, a Centennial Deluge was a disaster. For Star Dou Great Forest, however, it was a feast.

Some plants flourished under the mad watering of the downpour. Even a Lone Bamboo that was only ten years old could grow incomparably thick and sturdy.

"Then we'll set out in a week."

"You four should keep a low profile in Nuoding City. Don't let the Dragon Queen notice anything suspicious."

Gu Yuena warned Xiong Jun, "Especially you, Xiong Jun. Keep yourself in check. If the Dragon Queen discovers anything, I'll make you a mount."

"Rest assured, my liege. Last time was an accident."

Xiong Jun repeatedly promised her.

Last time really had been a pure accident. How could he have run into his liege and the Dragon Queen so coincidentally?

Come to think of it, becoming the Dragon Queen's mount did not seem all that humiliating.

After their conversation ended,

Gu Yuena parted ways with the four of them.

When she returned to Notting Academy, she found Shen Yifeng still diligently meditating and cultivating.

Hearing her arrive,

Shen Yifeng opened his eyes. "Gu Yuena, don't casually do this sort of thing again."

"Huh? I thought you liked it."

Gu Yuena's heart quietly shattered.

Why did he not like it?

Had she misunderstood?

Shen Yifeng did not like this kind of romantic formalism.

"You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you."

"Anyway, go rest. I'm meditating tonight, so don't make any noise."

Shen Yifeng truly could not figure out what Gu Yuena had been doing all this for.

In any case, she just needed to behave herself. She could not possibly start causing trouble again at night.

Gu Yuena did not dare say anything and obediently nodded.

She stood where she was, watching Shen Yifeng close his eyes and resume meditating.

Yet she secretly muttered to herself, My wife is so cute when he's in a little mood.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that Shen Yifeng did not pay her any further attention, Gu Yuena did not disturb him. Instead, she climbed onto the second bed, which had never been used.

The next day, news that a Centennial Deluge had erupted in Star Dou Great Forest spread throughout Nuoding City.

Notices were posted at the city gates, forbidding hunters from entering Star Dou Great Forest.

The academy also held a special meeting to remind all students that they were not allowed to leave on their own to hunt Soul Beasts in the near future.

When Gu Yuena heard the news, she secretly rejoiced.

The longer the downpour lasted, the more beautiful the rainbow afterward would be.

When the time came, Yifeng would definitely agree to her little request.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day.

Shen Yifeng ended his meditation in the dormitory and rubbed his stomach.

After meditating continuously for three days, his Soul Power had increased quite a bit, but he was also terribly hungry.

"Hungry?"

Gu Yuena immediately leaned over.

"I'll take you to eat Braised Pork Knuckle! It's on me today!"

Shen Yifeng shook his head.

"I'm sick of eating that lately."

"Then what do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."

Gu Yuena hurriedly asked.

"I want Sub-Dragon Meat."

Shen Yifeng spoke calmly.

Gu Yuena froze.

Sub-Dragon Meat was extremely expensive. Even a single piece of leg meat cost a considerable sum.

But that was fine. She had money.

"Alright! Wait here, I'll go buy some for you."

After saying that, Gu Yuena turned and ran outside.

Once she reached the academy gates, she immediately contacted Di Tian.

"Di Tian, take your money and look in the nearby towns."

"I want it fresh. The faster, the better."

Di Tian, who was working at the Mine, received the order and immediately threw down his tools before racing toward Star Dou Great Forest.

Seeing this, Xiong Jun hurriedly followed him.

"Di Tian, wait for me! I'm coming with you. I'll buy some too. We can have a late-night meal and drink some wine tonight."

The two moved incredibly fast. In less than half an hour, they had bought two portions of braised stir-fried meat, along with leg meat.

"My liege, we bought it."

Di Tian handed the Sub-Dragon Meat to Gu Yuena.

It was all for their mistress. As long as their liege won their mistress over, the Soul Beast clan would have a new future.

Xiong Jun did not care about any of that. He had just bought his own portion along with Di Tian's, so he would be eating well tonight.

"Well done."

Carrying the meat, Gu Yuena returned to the dormitory. Wife, I bought the Soul Beast meat. I'll be right there.

After Gu Yuena left,

Xiong Jun chuckled. "Come on, Di Tian. Let's go to the tavern and have a good drink. Bi Ji and Zi Ji aren't around anyway."

"Let's go."

Di Tian also intended to relax for once.

At Notting Academy, Gu Yuena pulled Shen Yifeng to the cafeteria.

"I got the Sub-Dragon Meat, Yifeng. Hurry and try it."

Gu Yuena said excitedly.

"You really got it?"

"Of course. You like eating it, so I got it for you. In a few days, I'll take you to see a rainbow."

If his wife liked it, she was happy.

Shen Yifeng began eating with great gusto.

At that moment, Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were seated nearby, were eating cafeteria food.

It was not bad, but compared to Sub-Dragon Meat, it was far inferior.

"It smells so good."

Xiao Wu helplessly drooled.

It smelled especially delicious just looking at it.

She really wanted to eat Sub-Dragon Meat. Why was Gu Yuena treating Shen Yifeng so well?

She had clearly rejected him in front of so many people, yet she still treated Shen Yifeng like this.

"Xiao Wu, is Sub-Dragon Meat expensive?"

Tang San had not yet learned how much Sub-Dragon Meat cost.

"Of course it's expensive. Sub-Dragon Soul Beasts are already rare, which makes Sub-Dragon Meat especially costly."

Xiao Wu could only look on longingly. There was no way for her to eat it.

"I'm so satisfied."

Shen Yifeng rubbed his stomach.

"Aren't you eating?"

Shen Yifeng noticed that Gu Yuena had been watching him with a smile the whole time, with no intention of picking up her chopsticks.

"I'm not eating."

Hehe, just watching you eat is already enough to satisfy me, wife.

So Shen Yifeng's requests were so modest. She could completely fulfill this much; all that remained was to wait for the downpour to end five days later.

After eating and drinking their fill, they returned to the dormitory. Shen Yifeng could not even be bothered to meditate and simply climbed under the covers before falling asleep.

Now it was Gu Yuena's turn.

Five days later, the week-long downpour finally ended.

Di Tian looked in the direction of Star Dou Great Forest. A rainbow had appeared above the forest, breathtakingly beautiful.

"It really appeared."

Without caring about anything else, he immediately contacted Gu Yuena.

Upon receiving the message, Gu Yuena rushed to Shen Yifeng without stopping.

"Yifeng, I'll take you to see a rainbow."

"A rainbow? Where is there a rainbow?"

Shen Yifeng looked out the window. The sky was clear, without the slightest trace of a rainbow.

"Don't worry about that. I'll just take you there."
