My Money Will Sooner or Later Be Squandered by You

Before long, it was time for the academy's Duo Combat Tournament.

Shen Yifeng, who had never participated before, was forced to join because of Gu Yuena's arrival.

For the past two days, the academy had been abuzz with talk of "childhood betrothal."

Shen Yifeng was strikingly beautiful, while Gu Yuena was devastatingly gorgeous.

The two looked like a perfect match together, but Shen Yifeng did not see it that way.

In private, Gu Yuena was nothing like the rumors described.

"Gu Yuena!"

"You again? I thought you'd learned to behave, but you climbed into my bed again."

Shen Yifeng shot Gu Yuena a glare.

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

Gu Yuena made up an excuse to brush it off.

In her eyes, Shen Yifeng getting angry was like a wife throwing a little tantrum.

Compared to how he had barely paid attention to her before, the fact that he could now lose his temper at her was already quite good.

She was doing pretty well.

After the tournament ended, she had another big surprise for Shen Yifeng.

Once Shen Yifeng saw it for real, he would definitely like it.

It was a little thoughtful gesture from Gu Yuena.

"You're afraid of the dark? What a load of nonsense."

Shen Yifeng had no way to deal with Gu Yuena.

His cultivation had hit a slight bottleneck these past few days. If he could absorb Rainbow Power, he might be able to break through to level two.

Even now, he had only encountered rainbows six times in Nuoding City.

Rainbows were far too difficult to come across.

If he really ran into another rainbow so soon, then he truly had absurdly good luck.

"It's perfectly normal for girls to be afraid of the dark. Also, Yifeng..."

Gu Yuena changed her tone, her voice softening as though she were asking him for a favor.

"What is it? Go ahead."

Shen Yifeng got dressed and put on his shoes.

"I want to eat the huge serving of stir-fried beef in Nuoding City. Can we go after drawing lots this morning?"

Gu Yuena felt embarrassed because she had no money.

Yesterday, when she passed that restaurant, the smell alone had made her drool.

So she could only ask her wife to spend money on her for now. Once she had money, she could spend it on her wife instead.

"With that huge appetite of yours, how am I supposed to fill you up?"

Shen Yifeng decisively refused. He only had five hundred Silver Soul Coins left, and he needed to save them to buy things later.

"Yifeng, just this once. And I checked—the rice is unlimited and free."

"You already looked into it?"

"Of course! So let's go eat."

Shen Yifeng reluctantly agreed.

Sooner or later, Gu Yuena would eat through all his money.

Who could possibly withstand a dragon's appetite?

Forget it, forget it.

Money could be earned again. If he did not agree, this Lustful Dragon Fish would keep pestering him.

"Yifeng, you're the best."

Gu Yuena bounced with joy.

Hehe, my wife is so nice.

Although he had lost his memories, deep down, he still treated her well.

The two left the dormitory and arrived at Notting Academy's plaza.

Quite a few students were already standing in rows.

Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena stood together.

"This academy's Duo Combat Tournament will be divided into group matches, elimination rounds, and the finals."

"There will be four groups: Group A, Group B, Group C, and Group D."

"Come forward now and draw lots to see which group you are in."

Ye Hao, the teacher presiding over the event, called out.

"Yifeng, wait here. I'll draw for us myself."

"When the time comes, I'll carry you to easy wins!"

Gu Yuena smiled as she walked toward the lot-drawing area.

A red box sat before her, with a hole large enough to fit an arm through.

She reached inside and pulled out a slip of paper. Opening it, she saw that it read Group A.

Group A? Not bad.

Either way, it would not stop her from showing off with her wife.

Returning to Shen Yifeng, Gu Yuena said, "Group A. Yifeng, I'll lead you from Group A to victory."

"All you know is how to show off. Even if I found someone else, I could still win the championship."

"That won't do."

How could her wife assist someone else?

Wouldn't that just benefit others?

Before long,

the drawing ended, and every team had learned which group they would be competing in.

Tang San and Xiao Wu drew Group B.

They were determined to claim victory in this tournament.

They were both Soul Grandmasters, so winning would not be difficult.

His Martial Soul paired with Xiao Wu's Martial Soul was virtually unbeatable within the academy.

In last year's Duo Combat Tournament, which had been a competition among Soul Masters, he and Xiao Wu had likewise won the championship.

This time would be no different.

Even Shen Yifeng's participation could not change any of the facts.

"Tang San, I told you to ask Shen Yifeng for his opinion. What did he say?"

Yu Xiaogang, a flat-headed man dressed in a black robe, walked up to Tang San and Xiao Wu.

He had gone out to take care of some matters over the past two days and had only just returned.

"Teacher, Shen Yifeng refused. He also said that all of your theoretical knowledge was stolen."

Tang San recounted everything that had happened that night.

Yu Xiaogang froze after hearing it.

"That Shen Yifeng really dares to spout anything. My Ten Core Competitiveness Theories of Martial Souls are entirely my own."

Tang San also felt that Yu Xiaogang was right.

After the drawing ended, Ye Hao told everyone to get ready. The matches would begin that afternoon.

At noon, Gu Yuena dragged Shen Yifeng to the restaurant and immediately ordered a huge serving of stir-fried beef.

Gu Yuena turned around to get rice, taking a bowl bigger than her face and piling it into a full little mountain.

Shen Yifeng looked at the ordinary small bowl in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Was she serious? That one bowl was worth three of his.

"Eat slowly. No one's going to steal it from you."

"Got it, got it."

Gu Yuena's cheeks were stuffed full, and she answered indistinctly without slowing down her chopsticks in the slightest.

Shen Yifeng had only eaten half a bowl of rice when Gu Yuena finished her first bowl, stood up, and went to get a second.

A third bowl.

A fourth bowl.

The customers at the neighboring tables stared in shock and whispered among themselves.

Shen Yifeng covered his face and pretended not to know her.

Only after her eighth bowl of rice was gone and every last piece of beef had been eaten did Gu Yuena finally put down her chopsticks and rub her stomach.

"I'm about half full."

"Half full?" Shen Yifeng's eyes widened. "If you keep eating, my wallet will be empty."

"Then I won't eat anymore."

Gu Yuena obediently nodded, though her eyes still drifted toward the kitchen. She had not eaten enough, and there were still so many dishes on the menu that she had never tried. She could only wait until next time.

She also felt somewhat embarrassed about always spending her wife's money.

She was the Silver Dragon King. She could not take it for granted.

This was all proof of her wife's love for her, and she could not let her wife down.

After paying the bill, Shen Yifeng looked painfully at the little over three hundred Silver Soul Coins he had left.

At this rate, it would not last half a month.

"Once I have money, I'll treat you to a grand feast."

Gu Yuena patted her chest and promised.

"Forget it. I don't believe you."

That afternoon, the competition officially began.

Group A's matches were held on Field One.

Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena's first opponents were two level-twenty-one Soul Grandmasters, one an assault-type and the other an agility-attack-type.

The assault-type Soul Master's Martial Soul was the Earth Platform Gorilla.

The agility-attack-type Soul Master's Martial Soul was the Wind Chasing Leopard.

"Are you ready?" the referee asked.

The two nodded.

"The match begins!"
