Valkyrie Flavor Tasting Guide

"However, tragically, she mistook this summons for... that of her great ancestor, the Crimson Kite Immortal."

"She never expected this..."

Kiana's voice paused again here, offering the final, fatal "truth" to this absurd and melodramatic "historical drama."

"What truly summoned her here..."

"From beginning to end, it was just that—wanting to find a vessel with the same blood as oneself..."

"The Demon God Chi You".

After listening to Kiana's various illogical and serious-sounding nonsense, everyone else unanimously revealed even more malicious smiles.

As he spoke, Lu Mo took a step and walked step by step to Fu Hua, who had been keeping a straight face and trying her best to make herself "invisible" since the beginning.

Then, under the latter's conflicted and silent gaze, he suddenly reached out and lightly pinched that spot where Fu Hua never guarded against him.

"ah!"

The sudden attack made Fu Hua's body tremble violently, and a captivating blush instantly appeared on her cool and beautiful face.

"you……!"

"Don't be nervous," Lu Mo said with a "kind" and "amiable" smile that was actually quite malicious. "I'm just checking on the growth of my offspring."

Lu Mo's expression was a classic "My dear grandson, I'm your ancestor."

"...Huh?" Upon hearing this, Fu Hua's expression froze completely in an instant.

"What," Lu Mo smiled slyly, "since in this script I am the Demon God Chi You, no, the Honkai Beast Chi You."

"And you, as the Red Kite, have inherited my bloodline."

“Then, logically and emotionally,” he said, his voice carrying the air of an elder, “shouldn’t you also call me ‘Grandpa’?”

"Pfft..."

Upon hearing this deliberately misleading and malicious way of addressing people, Kiana, who was standing to the side, could no longer suppress her laughter and was the first to burst out laughing.

"Oh dear, Captain," her face was full of amusement and amusement, "isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that?"

"Oh?"

“After all…” she said, deliberately reaching out and gently patting the class monitor’s shoulder, who was already on the verge of “going berserk,” as if offering comfort.

"Our class monitor is not some naive little girl outside of the script."

"She has lived for a full fifty thousand years."

I thought Kiana was being sarcastic, but then she changed the subject.

"You're asking an ancient relic who's tens of thousands of years older than you..."

"I call you, Ancestor."

"This, isn't this...?" Kiana deliberately drew out the word.

"Something does seem off?" Himeko's voice carried an agreement and undisguised schadenfreude. "The title 'Ancestor' sounds a bit too old."

She stood up from the ground and walked to Lu Mo's side, naturally taking his arm with a kind and gentle smile on her face.

"How about we compromise?" Himeko suggested, seemingly out of kindness. "Why don't we just have Fu Hua call you 'Dad'?"

"puff!"

Upon hearing this even more despicable title than "ancestor," Mei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although Bronya and Kiana are probably the ones who call Lu Mo that the most.

Just moments before Fu Hua's pretty face, which was almost bleeding from embarrassment, was about to be completely covered by a cold expression.

A childish voice-over, filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, suddenly rang out in everyone's minds.

"Hey! I called him 'Dad' first, okay?!"

That's just a little knowledge.

"Although I'm also very annoyed, that bastard always likes to take advantage of me..." Xiao Shi's voice was indignant, it was unclear whether that was really what bothered her, or if it was because calling him that meant she would have to call Fu Hua "Mom," "But when I think about how this stubborn old fogey can also use that title..."

Her voice paused abruptly here, then turned to joy.

"It does seem more interesting."

This unwavering defection became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Fu Hua's expression became incredibly interesting in an instant.

Even Xiao Shi betrayed him?

She looked at the man in front of her who was grinning mischievously and waiting for her "response," and then at her "good sisters" who had completely transformed into "spectators" beside her.

Finally, under the expectant gazes of several people, he slowly lowered his head to indicate his compromise.

"I see."

Her voice was barely audible, carrying an extreme sense of shyness and resignation.

"Next time...when we get to bed..."

"I'll...I'll call it for you again, that'll do..."

This is her current bottom line, which is why she has separated Chi Yuan from the group.

As they spoke, the group had already passed through the remains of the Honkai Beasts and arrived at an ancient and solemn stone platform.

They skipped the intermediate steps entirely.

After all, neither the person involved nor Lu Mo, who played the game back then, were particularly unhappy about this, were they?

On the stone platform, a giant golden sword, exuding an aura of antiquity and holiness, lay silently upside down.

Indeed, it is the ninth divine key—the Xuanyuan Sword.

Of course, everyone knows the setting of Xuan-Yuan Sword, so I won't go into details.

Without any hesitation, Lu Mo gripped the cold yet powerful hilt of the sword with both hands.

With a slight hum, he easily pulled the divine weapon, which had been dormant for a thousand years (actually less than ten years), from the stone platform.

Although the Xuanyuan Sword was indeed unsuitable for him, that was fine.

The instant the divine sword left the ground, an ancient and sorrowful black energy, as if it had come to life, surged out from the empty scabbard and slowly condensed in mid-air into a graceful, majestic, and beautiful black figure.

Very good, the storyline and performance are completely different from back then.

She had a cascade of long, black hair, and her stunningly beautiful face carried a natural air of aloofness and arrogance.

She ignored the man holding the Xuanyuan Sword, who was looking at her with amusement.

Her gaze went straight past him and landed on Fu Hua, whose cheeks were flushed and who had been nagging about seniority since earlier.

"Red Kite".

Hei Jilin's voice was soft, yet it carried a complex and indescribable gentleness that had endured a thousand years of vicissitudes.

Even if she is even less like the original Hei Ji Lin than she was back then, it cannot be denied that she is still very charming.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

She slowly walked up to the beautiful "fairy" who was standing still, reached out her hand, and gently brushed away the non-existent dust from her shoulder.

Compared to the last time I appeared, the atmosphere now is more conducive to reminiscing.

"It seems..." A half-smile curved her lips as she uttered a few teasing words typical of an old friend, "a lot of interesting things have happened outside while I was asleep."

Her gaze lingered on Lu Mo for a moment without being noticed, before returning to Fu Hua.

"Back then, you seemed so wooden that even I had to admire your stubbornness, but now your expressions are so vivid." She said softly, her tone filled with barely concealed curiosity, "And..."

Her gaze turned to Lu Mo again.

"I never thought that even someone like you would have a man."

Although they all shared the sentiment of "How can I have a home when the Xiongnu have not yet been destroyed"—of course, there were no Xiongnu in Ji Lin's time.

"Not only that..." Ji Lin's tone changed slightly, seemingly with a hint of resentment, yet also with a hint of something else, "It seems you're planning to make me his woman too?"

Her voice paused deliberately here.

"It's unimaginable."

She shook her head, her face revealing a tender yet unfathomable expression.

"It's been thousands of years..."

"You've changed so much!"

Upon hearing Hei Jilin's teasing remark, a rare look of embarrassment appeared on Fu Hua's usually aloof face.

She subconsciously looked away, not daring to look into the other person's dark eyes that seemed to see through everything at that moment.

It's still a bit difficult to face this situation.

“Ji Lin, I…” She wanted to say something to explain, but she didn’t know where to begin, and in the end, she could only let out a barely audible “I’m sorry.”

After all, no matter what the process was, she ultimately intended to personally send her dear friend, who had been gone for a thousand years, into the arms of a man who was incomparably beautiful to her.

However, Hei Jilin was not angry. She simply and slowly reached out her hand, and with her equally cold fingertips, gently touched Fu Hua's tightly pursed lips, stopping her from saying anything more.

"No need to say anything, Chi Yuan."

A gentle yet knowing smile appeared on Hei Jilin's face.

Before you start worrying, there are some things I need to tell you.

She paused, seemingly organizing her thoughts.

"There was a very lively child who called herself Kiana. When she woke me up, she had already told me a lot of things."

Clearly, Ji Lin wasn't referring to the Kiana who was present.

"Besides, the me now is not the same as the her from before."

"Because of some, well, special reasons, my criteria for choosing a husband are quite different from those for my own."

In layman's terms, his tastes changed after he turned evil.

"more importantly……"

She directly took the arm of the beautiful "fairy" beside her, who was still somewhat at a loss, as if comforting a child who had done something wrong.

But more often than not, they're like monkeys among friends.

"I trust your judgment, Red Kite."

"Since he is the kind of man who can make you willingly submit."

"There must be something extraordinary about him."

Clearly, Ji Lin had no complaints about Lu Mo.

In terms of initial favorability, she is higher than Cheng Lixue and Shiyu Qiluo.

"So..." Ji Lin's face held a gentle smile that said "I forgive you," the smile of a close friend.

Even if you tricked me like this, I don't mind.

Hearing Hei Jilin's gentle yet understanding words, Fu Hua's anxious heart finally calmed down.

“Alright,” Hei Jilin said, looking at her relieved expression and marveling at how serious she still was. “Now that we’ve finished discussing the important matters, it’s your turn, young man.”

"Are you the man who has my old friend completely infatuated with you?"

"Hello, I am Lu Mo." Lu Mo did not flinch in the slightest because of her intense gaze; he still wore that calm and composed smile on his face.

“I know your name.” Hei Jilin interrupted him, her voice carrying a hint of innate arrogance, a tone that Jilin would never have had before. “I also learned about your deeds from that noisy white-haired girl, or rather, I know them even better than they do.”

She looked him up and down, her eyes seemingly filled with a critical glint.

"Although there are some interesting things about you."

"But just based on these things, you want me, like them, to bow down to you..."

"That's a gross underestimation of me."

After all, Ji Lin was an emperor, and his demands couldn't be lowered just because of Fu Hua.

"Oh?" Lu Mo raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this. "Then, in your opinion, what should I do?"
