The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Shen Humeng's mother died early, and Shen Fuyue was busy with cultivation, so Shen Humeng was practically raised by his older brother, Shen Qiubing's father.

Although she is Shen Qiubing's aunt, Shen Humeng is only four years older than Shen Qiubing. The two grew up together and have an extremely close relationship.

As a result, Shen Qiubing's personality became more and more like Shen Humeng's, and the two became inseparable.

During the final test, she was trapped in a simulated scenario. Lu Yuan rescued her from danger. There were some things that Shen Qiubing was too ashamed to say to Shen Fuyue, but she had no reservations with Shen Humeng.

In other words, Shen Humeng knew exactly what Lu Yuan did to Shen Qiubing in the simulation!

In Shen Humeng's view, Lu Yuan was not replenishing his energy at all, nor was he replenishing his energy in that way; he was clearly taking advantage of Shen Qiubing.

This is why Shen Humeng has always harbored hostility towards Lu Yuancai.

Especially after her elder brother and sister-in-law passed away, she felt an even greater sense of responsibility towards Shen Qiubing, and she couldn't tolerate anyone bullying Shen Qiubing in the slightest, let alone something like that.

However, to Shen Humeng's surprise, Shen Qiubing was extremely protective of Lu Yuan, to the point that she couldn't directly attack him.

Otherwise, there would have been no need for Zhou Buyi; Shen Humeng would have killed Lu Yuan long ago.

"You should know that fence-sitters never end well!"

Shen Humeng's face was gloomy, and she looked at Lu Yuan with icy eyes.

Shen Humeng's initiative to meet with Lu Yuan to discuss taking sides was also for Shen Qiubing's sake. Otherwise, even if Shen Qiubing protected her, she wouldn't be able to take action against Lu Yuan and would absolutely not want to have any contact with him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan was so ungrateful.

"It's not about sitting on the fence, it's about being neutral."

Lu Yuan raised his head slightly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

Becoming a professional martial artist was never his original intention, and now that he has come to this point, there is nothing he can do about it, but he is unwilling to get involved in any more conflicts.

Especially regarding the position of the head of the Starry Sky Hall, such a storm vortex could easily destroy him if he is not careful.

Having finally dealt with Zhou Buyi, Lu Yuan really didn't want to live in such fear and anxiety anymore.

"ridiculous."

Shen Humeng glanced at Lu Yuan with disdain, too lazy to say anything more to him.

"The Shen family supports the Master. Since you've allied yourself with the Shen family, you must also stand on the Master's side!"

"To clarify, I am not affiliated with the Shen family. At most, we were cooperating before."

Lu Yuan gave a soft snort, his expression growing increasingly serious.

"If cooperating with the Shen family means taking sides, then I'm willing to sever ties with them!"

"What do you take the Shen family for? Someone you can summon and dismiss at will? If you're not a friend of the Shen family, then you're their enemy!"

"So what if we're enemies!"

Lu Yuan stood up abruptly, his imposing manner no less than that of Shen Humeng.

But in reality, he regretted saying those words as soon as they left his mouth. What was he thinking, becoming the enemy of the Shen family? Had he been kicked in the head by a donkey?!

Shen Fuyue is a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm; killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant. In fact, Shen Fuyue wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the Shen family has a large number of warriors, any one of whom would be far beyond Lu Yuan's capabilities.

To put it bluntly, does he even deserve to be an enemy of the Shen family?

But Shen Humeng was aggressive and just wanted to prove herself. In fact, it was just a matter of speaking in the heat of the moment, and Lu Yuan blurted it out.

Now that the words have been spoken, what can he do? Words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back.

Lu Yuan secretly regretted his words; trouble came from his mouth!

It's because I've been having such a smooth run lately, especially with my skills improving so quickly, that I've become a bit arrogant and that's why I spoke without thinking.

"Since you want to be the enemy of the Shen family, then I'll grant your wish."

Shen Humeng was not angry at all; instead, she smiled.

Lu Yuan actually took advantage of Shen Qiubing, and Shen Humeng had long wanted to kill him!

Now that Lu Yuan had said this, Shen Humeng couldn't have been happier.

Oops!

Let's do it!

Seeing Shen Humeng's posture, especially the pure killing intent in her eyes, Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't expect that Shen Humeng would turn on him so suddenly and immediately harbor murderous intent towards him.

Although he didn't understand Shen Humeng's idea, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment. Lu Yuan immediately tensed up and prepared to fight desperately.

Shen Humeng is a mid-level warrior, and he should be no match for him, especially since this is the Shen family. Lu Yuan did not seek victory; his mind raced, and he was thinking as if he were fleeing.

"aunt!"

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Shen Qiubing hurriedly stepped forward and stood between the two.

Or to be more precise, he stood in front of Lu Yuan, watching Shen Humeng warily.

Seeing Shen Qiubing's subconscious action, Shen Humeng frowned, her gaze towards Lu Yuan becoming increasingly gloomy.

His fist clenched so tightly it cracked, but after a moment, he loosened it.

She didn't want to hurt Shen Qiubing, either physically or emotionally.

"Bingbing is protecting you, so I won't kill you today. But have you thought this through? Since you've made an enemy of the Shen family, you won't survive."

After Shen Humeng finished speaking in a cold voice, she did not leave immediately, but sat down to the side.

Lu Yuan hadn't left yet, so she stayed by his side to keep an eye on him, lest Lu Yuan take advantage of Shen Qiubing again.

"Actually, I don't want to be enemies with the Shen family; I just don't want to take sides."

"Taking advantage of the situation to get off the donkey," Lu Yuan explained.

But Shen Humeng didn't say anything, only smiled coldly.

Things in this world don't always go the way you want them to. No one cares what you think; they only care about what you do.

Just as Shen Humeng said before, if Lu Yuan does not make a clear statement, he will be regarded as an enemy by both sides, and then he will die even more miserably and faster!

"Alright, let's talk about this later. After all, the Nandou Squad hasn't been officially established yet, and people aren't paying much attention to you."

Not wanting to put Lu Yuan in a difficult position, Shen Qiubing offered some words of comfort, and then, also to change the subject, smiled and said...

"Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you on being selected for the Star Dou Squad yet."

"It's nothing, there's nothing to congratulate you on."

Lu Yuan said it casually, not out of hypocrisy, but because he really didn't care too much about being selected for the Star Dou Squad.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiubing's expression darkened, and she sighed with a bitter smile.

"You didn't take the Star Dou Squad seriously, so others who want to join can't."

"Um?"

Lu Yuan was taken aback, noticing Shen Qiubing's disappointment.

"Do you want to join the Star Dou Squad?"

"In the entire special operations team, besides you, probably no one would want to do this! But unfortunately, I'm not qualified anymore."

"Not qualified yet? What do you mean?"

"Hmph! If Bingbing hadn't been injured, her martial meridians damaged and her grade plummeted, she would have already been selected for the Star Dou Squad!"

Shen Humeng spoke up from the side, her tone angry, but when she glanced at Shen Qiubing, her face showed heartache.

You are injured.

Lu Yuan was taken aback; this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

But on second thought, it makes sense.

Judging from Sun Baoyu and the others' reactions, Shen Qiubing is quite powerful in the special operations team. This is not simply due to her family background, but rather her hard-earned strength!

However, comparing someone in late autumn to someone with a first-grade martial lineage, even though they are already an eighth-grade martial artist, is unreasonable.

If her martial meridians were damaged and her grade dropped due to injury, then that makes sense.

Let me take a look.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Yuan extended his hand to Shen Qiubing and said something.
