Xiao Chenyu Kneels and Apologizes, Wife, You Smell So Good

Xiao Chenyu rolled several times before climbing to his feet, still somewhat dazed.

His father had put a great deal of force into that slap.

What had he done to make his father this furious?

"Father, why did you hit me?"

Xiao Chenyu looked utterly aggrieved.

"You still have the nerve to ask? Have you been bullying people at the academy again?"

Xiao Jingteng was beside himself with rage.

"Father, I only wanted to eat his Soul Beast meat. He wouldn't give it to me, so I just wanted to scare him a little."

Xiao Chenyu explained.

"Scare him?"

"Your old man nearly died! There were two experts just now who were far beyond Soul Kings, possibly even Title Douluo-level. It was all because of you."

Seeing that his son still had not grasped the severity of the situation, Xiao Jingteng was furious.

What a useless fool. He was good for nothing.

Even now, he still could not figure it out. All those years of eating had been for nothing.

Every day, he did nothing but cause trouble for him.

Seeing Xiao Jingteng's expression, Xiao Chenyu was truly frightened. No matter how foolish he was, he could imagine how serious the matter was.

"Father, is what you said true?"

"How could Shen Yifeng possibly have such a powerful backing?"

Xiao Chenyu found it unbelievable.

If he truly had such important figures behind him, why would he stay at Notting Academy?

"How would I know? Go apologize to him right now and bring one hundred Gold Soul Coins."

"If he refuses to forgive you, then you and I can just wait for my death."

Xiao Jingteng sat in his chair, his face already filled with despair and helplessness.

That aura had pressed down on him until he could barely breathe.

What kind of person could possess such an aura?

"I'll handle it right away."

Ignoring the pain in his face, Xiao Chenyu rushed out in a panic.

At dusk, Shen Yifeng had just finished contemplating the Rainbow Body and was returning to the dormitory with Gu Yuena.

Just as they reached the bottom of the dormitory building, a figure suddenly rushed out.

"Brother Shen!"

Shen Yifeng frowned and instinctively prepared to summon his Martial Soul.

He thought Xiao Chenyu had brought people to retaliate.

But the next second—

Xiao Chenyu dropped to both knees with a thud and kowtowed to them.

"Brother Shen, I was wrong! I failed to recognize greatness when I saw it. Please be magnanimous and don't lower yourself to my level!"

He wept bitterly. Clear handprints still covered his face, and he held up a heavy money pouch.

"These are one hundred Gold Soul Coins that I prepared as an apology. Please accept them, Brother Shen!"

Shen Yifeng: "???"

What was going on?

Anyone unaware of the situation would think he was some tyrant who had driven the guy to this.

He had not done anything, yet Xiao Chenyu had knelt down on his own.

The students passing by stopped and gathered around to watch.

"Isn't that Xiao Chenyu? Why is he kneeling before Shen Yifeng?"

"My god, did the sun rise in the west? Xiao Chenyu actually knelt down to apologize?"

"He was so arrogant this morning. How did he end up like this by evening?"

Whispers rose one after another.

Xiao Chenyu lowered his head even further, his whole body trembling.

The moment he thought of the Title Douluo experts his father had mentioned, he was scared out of his wits.

Forget kneeling and apologizing—even if he were asked to become Shen Yifeng's lackey, he would agree.

Gu Yuena stood to the side with her arms crossed, a barely noticeable smile curling her lips.

So now you know fear?

You dared to snatch my wife's meat in public. You really were tired of living.

Shen Yifeng looked at the kneeling Xiao Chenyu, then at Gu Yuena's innocent-looking face.

He understood instantly.

It was probably Di Tian and the others.

"Get up."

"Since you've admitted your mistake, I won't make things difficult for you."

Shen Yifeng's tone was calm.

"Thank you, Brother Shen! Thank you, Brother Shen!"

Xiao Chenyu hurriedly climbed to his feet and held the money pouch out before Shen Yifeng.

"You must accept this money. If you don't, I won't be able to eat or sleep in peace."

Shen Yifeng took the pouch and weighed it in his hand.

"Don't bully anyone at the academy again."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll remember that! I'll never dare do it again!" Xiao Chenyu nodded repeatedly. "If anyone dares bully you, I'll be the first to beat them up!"

How could he dare? If he went around bullying people again, the Xiao Clan would be finished, and he would become the Xiao Clan's sinner.

"Get lost."

"Ah! Yes, sir!"

Xiao Chenyu felt as though he had been granted a pardon and ran off without looking back.

The watching students were dumbstruck.

The two returned to the dormitory.

Shen Yifeng tossed the money pouch onto the table.

"Don't you think this is strange?"

"What's strange?"

Shen Yifeng feigned confusion.

"Did someone go scare Xiao Chenyu? No one else would dare do something like that."

"Who knows?"

Gu Yuena secretly felt delighted.

It was good as long as her wife did not know. She wanted to be her wife's protector now and keep her safe.

Still, although Shen Yifeng had tested the Rainbow Body during the day—

Even without obtaining Soul Rings, he could use the corresponding abilities.

After Shen Yifeng obtained two Soul Rings, the Rainbow Body could use two abilities.

Those two abilities had also greatly boosted Shen Yifeng's combat strength.

An auxiliary Martial Soul could not defend against its own weaknesses.

His wife needed her protection.

That was what it meant to be a "Dragon Knight."

But she wanted to be another kind of Dragon Knight.

Sadly, that was impossible for now.

"Anyway, we have an extra hundred Gold Soul Coins. The long break is coming up soon, so we can visit Heaven Dou City. For example, we could go to the Great Soul Arena and work together in a few matches."

Shen Yifeng rubbed at the sweat all over his body again.

"I'm going to take a shower first. If you want to bathe too, wait until I'm done."

A... shower!

Gu Yuena froze, beginning to imagine herself splashing around in the bath with her wife.

Hehe...

Shen Yifeng paid no attention to Gu Yuena. He took a change of clothes and entered the bathroom.

The sound of rushing water drifted out.

Gu Yuena sat on the edge of the bed, unable to sit still.

Her ear unconsciously moved toward the bathroom door before she abruptly drew back, her face slightly hot.

She really wanted to rush inside, but Yifeng would hate her if she did that.

Hold it in. Even my confession was rejected. I absolutely can't make another mistake.

I'll pretend to be asleep first and lower Yifeng's guard. He definitely won't meditate at night.

Not long after, Shen Yifeng emerged while towel-drying his hair.

His bathrobe was loosely tied around his waist. Droplets from his hair slid down his neck and disappeared beneath his collar.

He said nothing. He merely glanced at Gu Yuena lying on the bed, then fell directly onto the bed and pulled the blanket over himself.

Less than a minute later, steady breathing filled the room.

Gu Yuena lay on the bed listening to his breathing. She immediately sat up quietly and looked toward Shen Yifeng in the moonlight streaming through the window.

The window had not been fully shut, and a night breeze blew in.

Shen Yifeng's shirt lifted in the wind, revealing the firm lines of his abdomen and faint abs.

Gu Yuena's face instantly flushed red, her heart pounding like a drum.

She hurriedly covered her mouth, nearly crying out.

Yet her eyes remained fixed on him, unable to look away.

She swallowed and cautiously stretched out her hand, wanting to touch him just once.

Just as her fingertips were about to reach him—

Shen Yifeng turned over, presenting his back to her.

Gu Yuena jerked her hand back in fright and crouched beside the bed, not even daring to breathe.

Only after a long while, once she was sure Shen Yifeng had not awakened, did she let out a sigh of relief.

She did not think about anything else. Slowly, she climbed onto the bed and slipped beneath Shen Yifeng's blanket.

She did not dare hold him as tightly as before and only lightly grasped the hem of his clothes.

Her nose was filled with Shen Yifeng's faint body wash scent, along with a barely perceptible rainbow aura.

Gu Yuena buried her face against his back, the corners of her lips secretly lifting.

It was fine. There was still plenty of time.

One day, she would hold him openly as they slept.

"Hehe, wife, you smell so good."
