The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Although pitiful, it is still a demon beast!

Lu Yuan's face darkened, and he prepared to crush the newborn rat.

squeak~

The baby mice, anxiously searching for milk, touched Lu Yuan's fingers and immediately began to suckle vigorously.

The soft, squishy texture instantly melted Lu Yuan's hardened heart.

"never mind."

The infant is innocent. Lu Yuan sighed, picked up the little mouse, and stuffed it into his clothes.

Newborn mice cannot survive without the care of adult mice.

After that, Lu Yuan stopped thinking about anything else and continued running towards Dongzhenwei City.

Lu Yuan is now heading in the direction from which the rat swarm is coming. The monsters along the way have long been frightened and driven away to other places by the rat swarm.

So unlike before, even several hours later when he arrived at Dongzhenwei City, he did not encounter a single demonic beast.

"We've finally arrived."

Looking at the imposing city ahead, which resembled a steel fortress, Lu Yuan couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.

But then, my heart jumped again, wondering how Shen Qiubing and the others were doing.

Lu Yuan didn't think too much about it and quickly walked to the city gate.

The vehicle and supplies were lost, but he carried some important documents with him, and the Qiming watch on his wrist was enough to identify him.

After a rigorous and proper inspection, they were allowed to enter the city.

Unlike base cities, citadels are used for defense, and in addition to housing a large number of weapons like fortresses, they also serve as troop depots.

Originally, there were no residential areas in the city, let alone commercial areas.

However, with human development and a rapid increase in population, the Acropolis had to make changes.

Houses were built on some previously unimportant vacant lots, and later, when the houses were demolished, tall buildings were erected in their place.

More and more people are living there, and more and more houses are being built.

This made the already small acropolis even more crowded.

Lu Yuan didn't feel uncomfortable about this at all; on the contrary, he felt a kind of indescribable warmth and familiarity.

After all, he grew up in that kind of environment.

But he had no time to reminisce. He asked the guards at the gate for directions to the Starry Sky Club's base, flagged down a motorcycle on the road, and headed straight there.

The acropolis was crowded and the roads were narrow, so motorcycles were more convenient than cars.

The motorcycle skillfully navigated through the crowded streets and alleys, scraping against roadside stalls a few times, but without apologizing, it simply roared past. More than an hour later, it finally stopped in front of an old building.

Although Lu Yuan had never been to Dongzhen before, he was familiar with Weicheng. After more than an hour, he suspected that the driver had taken a detour.

But he didn't have time to argue. After paying, Lu Yuan strode into the building.

This is the Star Hall's base in Dongzhen Weicheng.

As one of the seven major martial arts groups in Chongming Base City, the Star Hall also has a presence in not only the base city, but also in the three major defensive cities.

"Has the Nandou team arrived yet?!"

Rushing to the front desk on the first floor, Lu Yuan asked anxiously.

"May I ask who you are?"

The receptionist, whose face was covered in freckles, cautiously sized up Lu Yuan but did not answer immediately.

Lu Yuan didn't have time to say anything more and directly brought the Qiming watch over.

"So it's Mr. Lu Yuan."

After verifying her identity, the receptionist immediately put on a warm smile and continued to answer.

"Your teammates arrived a few hours ago and are currently resting on the third floor. Please come up this way..."

"Very good!"

Lu Yuan was filled with excitement and rushed towards the elevator following the directions given by the receptionist.

I pressed the elevator buttons a few times, but then I thought, "Forget it, the elevator is too slow." So I just headed for the nearby staircase.

I ran all the way to the third floor before realizing I'd forgotten to ask the receptionist which room it was.

"Damn it! I'm not waiting anymore! I'm going back to find them!"

"Old Jin, be patient! They might be on their way here. If we turn back now, we might miss them!"

"Old Tang, shut the hell up! I don't have your patience. All I know is that my brother's life or death is unknown outside the city, and I can't just sit here peacefully!"

……

Fortunately, as soon as I went upstairs, I heard an argument coming from one of the rooms.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lu Yuan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly walked over.

"Old Jin, watch your damn mouth! You're in a hurry, but do you think I'm not?! I'm fucking..."

Tang Guangming was furious, but halfway through his sentence, he noticed that Jin Xinxin had stopped talking back and was suddenly grinning at him.

Tang Guangming was taken aback. Jin Xinxin loved to curse, but did she also love to be cursed? Was she a combination of top and bottom?

"brother!"

Just then, Jin Xinxin let out an excited shout and rushed out.

Not only Jin Xinxin, but everyone else also stood up excitedly.

Tang Guangming then came to his senses, turned his head and looked at the scene. His eyes widened instantly, and his face was full of excitement.

"Damn it! We're finally here."

"Sorry everyone, I'm late."

Lu Yuan looked at everyone, smiled, and said something.

Shen Qiubing, Jin Xinxin, Song Pandun, Tang Guangming, and Gao Shu were all there, and at this moment, the heavy weight in his heart was finally lifted.

"Ahem, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back safe and sound."

Jin Xinxin, who originally wanted to give Lu Yuan a big hug, suddenly felt a little awkward when she got there. She coughed twice and withdrew her hand.

Just then, a figure rushed up and threw himself into Lu Yuan's arms, hugging him tightly.

It's Shen Qiubing.

"I'm fine."

A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips as he gently patted Shen Qiubing's shoulder.

Shen Qiubing didn't speak, she just kept crying.

She was scared.

Now that Lu Yuan has finally arrived safely, my tense mood suddenly relaxes, and I can no longer control myself.

"Where is she?"

A moment later, Shen Qiubing snapped out of her daze, looked up at Lu Yuan, her eyes filled with worry.

"Yeah! Where's the employer?"

The others then realized what was happening, and their eyes dimmed.

Only Lu Yuan returned; could it be that the employer died on the way?

"Don't worry, she's not dead. Her father dragged her back."

Guessing what everyone was thinking, Lu Yuan smiled and said something.

"That scared me to death."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiubing breathed a sigh of relief.

"His father?"

The others also let out a soft sigh, followed by a frown.

Where did this dad come from?

Only Shen Qiubing knew who this "father" was.

For a moment her thoughts were in disarray, but when she calmed down, she realized that she was still holding Lu Yuan tightly. Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention, she quietly let go and stood aside.

"That's her father."

Lu Yuan nodded, and then recounted the whole story.

Of course, we skipped the scene of his passionate kiss with Shen Humeng, since Shen Qiubing was still there. Also, the matter of being mistaken for a "wild man" was unrelated to the mission and wasn't mentioned.

"She's actually Officer Shen!?"

After hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, everyone looked surprised.

After all, everyone was selected from the special operations team, and they had all had contact with Shen Humeng before, so they were acquaintances.

Then, he couldn't help but look at Shen Qiubing.

Shen Humeng kept it a secret from them, but as aunt and niece, Shen Qiubing couldn't possibly be completely unaware.

Shen Qiubing turned her face away, avoiding eye contact with the others, clearly feeling somewhat guilty.

"Oh."

She had known all along, so everyone laughed and didn't pursue the matter further.

"How will this mission be accounted for?"

Just then, Gao Shu spoke up.
