A courtyard known as the Love Holy Land.

"Di Tian, you did well."

"Thank you for your praise, my lord. For the Soul Beasts, and to win over our lady, everything we do is worth it."

Di Tian and Gu Yuena exchanged a look before immediately setting off.

Gu Yuena held the key in her hand. Its cold touch seeped into her palm, but her heart was blazing hot.

She slipped the key into her pocket and hurried back to the restaurant without stopping.

By then, all the dishes she had ordered had arrived.

"Hurry up and eat. The food's getting cold."

Shen Yifeng picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of vegetables.

Gu Yuena quickly sat down. Looking at the table full of dishes, she felt delighted.

My wife actually waited for me to return before touching her chopsticks. She must care more and more about me. Looks like my strategy is already working. If I try a little harder, I'll win her over soon.

She picked up her chopsticks and began eating in big mouthfuls, the corners of her lips unconsciously lifting.

Seeing her foolish grin, Shen Yifeng did not need to think to know that she was fantasizing about some nonsense again.

He shook his head and quietly ate.

Before long, the two had finished their meal.

Shen Yifeng stood up to gather their things.

"Let's go. We'll find an inn to put down our luggage first, then take a look at the Great Soul Arena."

"No need to find an inn."

Gu Yuena gave a mysterious smile, pulled out a brass key from her pocket, and waved it before Shen Yifeng.

"I already prepared one."

Shen Yifeng froze for a moment, somewhat surprised.

"When did you find it? How did I not know?"

"I asked someone to find it before we came."

Gu Yuena gave a vague explanation.

"It's close to the Great Soul Arena, and the environment is nice too. It's much more comfortable than an inn."

She would never admit that Di Tian and the others had rented it in advance, much less that it was some Love Holy Land.

If she said it, Yifeng would definitely start overthinking again.

"Fine."

Shen Yifeng did not ask further.

He had roughly guessed what was going on.

Gu Yuena eagerly walked ahead to lead the way.

She was already imagining herself spending every day and night with Yifeng in the courtyard of the Love Holy Land, their feelings rapidly deepening until they naturally ended up together.

Just thinking about it made her happy.

The two passed through several bustling streets and arrived at a quiet alley.

At the end of the alley stood a courtyard.

Two begonia trees were planted by the entrance, giving the place a serene and elegant air.

Gu Yuena opened the gate and led Shen Yifeng inside.

The courtyard was paved with bluestone slabs and filled with all kinds of flowers and plants. There was even a small pond in the middle, with several koi swimming inside.

"What do you think? Not bad, right?"

Gu Yuena looked at Shen Yifeng proudly.

"It'll do."

Shen Yifeng nodded.

The surroundings were indeed far better than he had expected. It seemed Di Tian and the others had put some thought into this.

"Our room is over there."

Gu Yuena pointed toward the east-side wing.

"Not our room—yours. Mine is in the west-side wing."

Shen Yifeng corrected her.

"But this is how we lived at the academy, isn't it?"

"At the academy, the dorm had two beds. There are two rooms here, so why would we still stay together?"

Shen Yifeng decisively rejected Gu Yuena's suggestion.

The place they had found really was quite nice.

At that moment, Di Tian, who was eavesdropping outside, immediately slapped his thigh in regret.

"I was careless. If I'd known, I would've moved all the beds into one room."

He had forgotten that this was not the Notting Academy dormitory.

With no memories, their lady would definitely not agree to stay in the same room.

Normally, at night, their lord could still sneak into their lady's bed, but now they could only be forced to sleep apart.

"Yifeng, I'm afraid of the dark at night."

Gu Yuena poked at her fingers.

Wife, you can't reject me. I'll be sad. I'm still your husband.

"You think I'd believe that?"

Shen Yifeng rolled his eyes at Gu Yuena.

"I'll put my things away, then we'll go to the Great Soul Arena. Put away those little schemes of yours."

He turned and entered the west-side wing.

Gu Yuena watched Shen Yifeng's back, feeling terribly dissatisfied.

No, I have to think of something. I can't sleep in separate rooms from my wife for two whole months just because of this.

At the very least, I need to come up with something—like encountering some unexpected attack that damages my room.

"My lord, I'm outside."

Di Tian's voice came from beyond the courtyard.

Gu Yuena glanced at Shen Yifeng, who was still tidying up in his room.

"Yifeng, I'll wait for you outside."

Gu Yuena called out, taking the perfect chance to leave the courtyard without arousing her wife's suspicions.

When she went outside, she found Di Tian standing beside the wall.

"Di Tian, you've been following us the whole time?"

"Yes. I was afraid you might run into trouble, my lord, so I kept following you."

"So, do you have an idea now?"

Gu Yuena asked Di Tian.

"I do. I'll find the middle-aged man who rented the house to us earlier. After you leave, my lord, I'll personally have him come up with some excuse to damage your room for some reason—"

Di Tian had already thought up a solution.

For their lady and their lord, a little hardship was worth it.

As long as they could get together, this was nothing.

Gu Yuena's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

"That's a good idea! We'll do that."

At that moment, Shen Yifeng's footsteps sounded from inside the courtyard.

"My lord, I'll be leaving first. Wait for my message tonight."

After saying that, Di Tian flashed away and instantly vanished into the alley.

The next second, Shen Yifeng came out.

"Let's go."

"Okay!"

Gu Yuena immediately moved close to him and said excitedly,

"Yifeng, let's crush the Great Soul Arena today."

"The Heaven Dou City Spirit Arena operates differently from the matches we had at the academy. Let's go. I'll tell you the rules on the way."

Meanwhile, outside the gates of Heaven Dou City.

Master Yu Xiaogang had also brought Tang San to Heaven Dou City for a look around.

Xiao Wu had found an excuse to leave, saying she would catch up with Tang San later.

"Teacher, what are we doing here?"

Tang San was confused.

"I'm taking you to the Great Soul Arena for some training. It's also so you can gain enough real combat experience to fight Gu Yuena and Shen Yifeng."

"Are you willing to let Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena stay above you?"

"Don't forget—you're the third genius with Twin Martial Souls in the past ten thousand years."

Yu Xiaogang would not let Tang San return to Holy Soul Village. Besides, Tang Hao had long since left, so there was no issue with Tang San returning to live there normally.

But Gu Yuena's arrival made him greatly want to understand her Martial Soul.

"I'm not willing to be beneath them, but my Clear Sky Hammer can't be exposed either."

"Little San, that is precisely why I brought you here. Mastering the use of your hidden weapons and Blue Silver Grass is the top priority."

Yu Xiaogang had already planned out the special training for the next two months, including the later use of hidden weapons.

Among everyone he knew, Tang San's hidden weapons were absolutely among the strongest.

If Tang San mastered them proficiently, he would surely make a stunning debut.

With Yu Xiaogang's encouragement, Tang San was filled with confidence.

"Let's go. We're heading to the Soul Fighting Arena."

At that moment, inside the Soul Fighting Arena.

Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena had already arrived and been told the general rules.

They came to the service counter to register.

"May I ask what name you two would like to give your team?"
