The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Leaving Shen Fuyue's courtyard, Lu Yuan felt a sudden sense of relief.

Shen Fuyue's attitude was clear: unless the Wu Gu Hui and the Shen family went to war, and unless the Wu Gu Hui could defeat him, no one could touch Lu Yuan.

This is a family effort to fight against the Wu Gu Hui.

Lu Yuan never expected that Shen Fuyue would go to such lengths for him.

After all, he was just a son-in-law who was not yet married into the family.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan was also deeply moved. Since his parents passed away, he had not felt this kind of love and care from his elders for a long time.

With a protective old man like Shen Fuyue, Lu Yuan suddenly felt that being a son-in-law of the Shen family didn't seem so bad.

"Young master, you should get some rest."

A little further from the lake, beside a bamboo grove, stands a large house, the residence of the fourth son.

The fourth branch of the family only has Shen Humeng as its sole heir. Shen Humeng was raised in the first branch of the family since childhood and never lived here. Moreover, she is now focusing on her pregnancy and is even less likely to live here.

Although Shen Fuyue supported Lu Yuan, it is easy to dodge a spear in the open but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. In order to prevent Wu Gu Hui from plotting against him, Shen Fuyue kept Lu Yuan and asked him to stay at the Shen family's house that night.

Given Lu Yuan's mental perception and detection abilities, even a Grandmaster would find it difficult to launch a sneak attack on him.

However, he couldn't explain it to Shen Fuyue, and he didn't want to disappoint his father-in-law's good intentions, so he simply stayed at Shen's house.

The huge house was rather deserted, with only Lu Yuan living there besides the servants.

But since I was already there, I decided to make the best of it, quickly washed up, and went to bed.

The next morning, as soon as Lu Yuan opened his eyes, the door opened and two young maids came in to help him get dressed and wash up.

Lu Yuan was taken aback. What era is this? Why are they still into these things?

That makes sense, though. No matter the era, people are always divided into different classes. Perhaps that's just how it is in the elite society.

But Lu Yuan was really not used to it, so he dismissed the two maids, got up, dressed, washed up, and left the bedroom.

Two maids, different from the ones before, waited outside the door, leading and serving Lu Yuan to the dining room for breakfast.

"Is this breakfast?"

Looking at the table full of various foods, both the selection of ingredients and the cooking techniques are top-notch.

Lu Yuan looked surprised again; it was too extravagant.

After finishing breakfast, Lu Yuan, having nothing to do, went straight to the training room to practice.

Although he has been promoted to intermediate-level general, this is far from enough. The reason why Zhu Fuyuan and Wu Guhui have become trouble and threats to Lu Yuan is ultimately because he is too weak.

As long as you are strong enough, you will not fear any enemy!

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yuan silently circulated his cultivation technique, absorbing energy from the depths of the universe bit by bit as the sun slowly rose, and began to construct the fifth star core.

I stayed at the Shen family's house with peace of mind, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.

In late May, Lu Yuan received news from the team that Jin Xinxin had recovered from her injury.

"Finally, we can go back."

Although things were peaceful, Lu Yuan was feeling a bit stifled from being cooped up at the Shen family's house for the past few days.

That afternoon, after greeting Shen Fuyue, he took a helicopter directly back to the Star Dou Squad base.

"Seven Killings".

"Are you alright?"

Upon seeing Lu Yuan return, the group that had been surrounding Jin Xinxin, along with Jin Xinxin herself, quickly came over, their eyes filled with worry as they looked at Lu Yuan.

Besides Shen Qiubing, Tang Guangming and the others also knew about the charity gala.

Not to mention that they already had some family background and were well-informed, even some ordinary martial artists already knew about it.

The fact that the president of the Wugu Association was beaten up in front of all the major families was so explosive and sensational that it spread throughout the martial arts circles of Chongming Base City in just two or three days, and everyone knew about it.

Lu Yuan is now quite a celebrity.

"Look at me, aren't I doing great now?"

Lu Yuan smiled and turned around as if to show off.

Although his face remained calm, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart at everyone's concern.

"It's good that you're alright."

"But we can't be careless; we still need to be careful!"

Everyone nodded, but they were still filled with worry.

Just because things are fine now doesn't mean they will be fine in the future. After all, that's the Wugu Gathering.

"Tianfu is right."

Shen Qiubing looked at Lu Yuan, her nervousness evident, and couldn't help but give him some advice.

"Although Grandpa has already warned them not to touch you, they can still do things behind the scenes, even if they don't do it openly. They are capable of anything, so you must be careful."

Don't worry.

Looking at the nervous Shen Qiubing, Lu Yuan said calmly.

A soft sigh escaped his lips.

Shen Qiubing clearly still cares about him, so why does she deliberately distance herself? Is it because of Shen Humeng?

Lu Yuan suddenly didn't want to think about it anymore, nor did he want to say anything.

Whether it was a misunderstanding or not is no longer important; the fact remains that he and Shen Humeng are about to get married.

After this incident, especially given Shen Fuyue's attitude, Lu Yuan's ties with the Shen family have become even stronger. He wants to annul the engagement, but he doesn't know how to bring it up.

They chatted for a few more minutes, mostly offering words of comfort but offering no real help. Then everyone dispersed to continue their own cultivation.

Lu Yuan did not immediately begin his cultivation; instead, he returned to his room first.

"Hole".

Lie down on the bed and call out.

Whoosh!

A dark shadow shot out from a small hole in the corner of the wall and landed directly on Lu Yuan, spinning around excitedly and rubbing against Lu Yuan's clothes.

As a demon beast, Dongdong was now fully grown, but it still looked about the same size as a big black rat.

Of course, appearances can be deceiving, and this is even more true for monsters.

As a Shadow Rat, Dongdong is not only extremely fast, but also quite powerful. Lu Yuan estimated that Dongdong could easily defeat an ordinary intermediate-level martial artist at this moment.

Even against a high-level martial artist above the seventh meridian level, as long as they are not a general, it can escape even if it can't win due to its speed.

Of course, Lu Yuan didn't really need Dongdong's combat power. Compared to his battle beasts, he basically kept Dongdong as a pet.

As a pet, Dongdong is adorable and affectionate. Not only its owner, Lu Yuan, but everyone at the base, including the members of the Beidou team, loves it.

She has already become the darling of the Star Dou Squad base!

"Here you are, Dongdong, I'll give you something delicious."

After teasing it for a while, Lu Yuan took out the strange fruit from his spatial ring.

Even if it's a pet, it's always better if it's stronger.

Although the kiwi fruit was precious, Lu Yuan did not tame any other demonic beasts. Besides, he didn't buy it with his own money, so he wouldn't feel bad if he wasted it.

Sniff sniff!

The little black nose sniffed it, initially a bit wary, but the next moment, its little eyes widened, suddenly filled with excitement, even impatience.

Clearly, as a demon beast, Dongdong instinctively knew the value of this fruit.

The next moment, before Lu Yuan could say anything more, Dongdong used its two tiny front paws to protect the kiwi fruit and began to gnaw on it.

Although the hole was not large, the fruit was only about the size of a baby's fist, and it was eaten up in no time, without wasting a single drop of juice.

Uh~!

After finishing eating, he let out a big, loud burp.

Dongdong seemed to be drunk, swaying back and forth on Lu Yuan, then buried his head in Lu Yuan's arms and stopped moving.

"Asleep?"

Looking at the even breathing in the hole, Lu Yuan knew there was nothing to worry about.

"Go to sleep."

Place the hole on the bed and gently stroke it.

It's estimated that it will need to sleep for a few days to fully absorb the energy of the kiwifruit, thereby activating the so-called ancient bloodline.
