Valkyrie Flavor Tasting Guide

"That's an interesting point." Eden became interested. "So, what kind of palace do you like the most...?"

Lu Mo did not answer directly.

Instead, it's the fingertips gently tapping in the air.

A slight abuse of power.

A melodious and elegant tune, unlike anything Eden had ever heard before, gradually began to play.

The melody, sometimes like flowing water over mountains, sometimes like pearls falling on a jade plate, constructed in her mind a magnificent picture of the landscape of China that she had never seen before.

"This is……"

“The voice I remember.” Lu Mo withdrew his hand. “My playing skills aren’t great, but my memory is pretty good.”

Although the style was completely different from the music she was familiar with, the core of the art was the same. Eden was undoubtedly the best listener; she could easily hear the most sincere emotions behind those unfamiliar combinations of notes.

as well as…

“Your music is very interesting.” She swirled the wine in her glass, the red liquid tracing a graceful arc on the glass. “The technique, the emotion, and the artistic conception are all impeccable.”

"But my friend, even if you are recreating music from your memory, you still put your emotions into it."

"Behind those melodies, I also heard something else...

Her voice was soft, with a touch of intoxicating languor.

She reached out and gently tapped Lu Mo's chin with her delicately painted fingertips.

She did not reject Lu Mo's feelings for her.

At the same time, he very subtly expressed Lu Mo's thoughts.

"That's a very strong possessive desire to own beautiful things."

"Excuse me for making a bold guess, but are you using music to woo me?"

Lu Mo didn't speak, but simply let her slightly cool fingertips gently caress his chin.

“I admit, your approach has indeed piqued my interest.”

"but……"

She looked at him, her deep, wine-like eyes holding a lingering smile.

"If that's all, I won't let you succeed so easily."

"is it?"

"Then it seems... I have no choice but to offend you."

The moment the words left his mouth, Lu Mo did not hesitate for a moment.

He suddenly stood up from the high stool, reached out, and grabbed Eden's slender waist.

He pulled her straight from her seat and into his arms without saying a word.

"Eh?!"

The surprise in Eden's eyes was genuine.

Lu Mo's actions were far too audacious.

Before she could react at all.

A warm, slightly domineering softness pressed heavily against her lips.

The unfamiliar yet not unpleasant touch, and... the faint scent of alcohol on the man made her lose her composure for a few seconds.

this……!

My...first kiss...?!

Logically, she should have instinctively wanted to struggle and resist.

But for some reason, her body seemed to have lost all its strength, and she collapsed into his arms.

"now what?"

Not satisfied, he gently licked the lips that he had kissed until they were red.

"Does this count as a success?"

Hearing Lu Mo's voice, Eden was able to snap out of his daze.

She reached out and placed her hand on Lu Mo's chest, gently pushing him away and creating some distance between them.

There was not much resistance during the process.

"...You really are..."

She felt no anger as she had expected, but rather a mixture of amusement and helplessness.

"A complete scoundrel who doesn't listen to reason at all."

This was the first time she had ever experienced such blatant thuggish behavior.

“I don’t think ordinary methods are effective against a high-profile star like you.”

"It would be more meaningful to leave you with unforgettable memories."

"Is that so?" The helpless smile on Eden's face suddenly disappeared.

Instead, a chilling killing intent filled the air.

She drew her weapon and pressed the cold muzzle against Lu Mo's heart.

"Have you ever thought..." Her voice turned less friendly, "...that thugs usually don't end up well?"

"Oh?" Lu Mo looked down at the gun barrel pressed against his chest and laughed even more heartily.

"Really? Then Miss Eden, why don't you fire the shot?"

Instead of retreating, he took another step forward, allowing the cold muzzle of the gun to sink even deeper into his chest.

“To be honest, Miss Eden, I also looked at other people’s information before coming here.”

"Although after looking around, everyone in Paradise is a nice woman, according to my personal preferences, Miss Eden is indeed my ideal type."

"To die by the gun of a beauty like you might not be such a bad experience."

Eden looked at the man in front of him who was not only unafraid but also pressed the gun to his heart, and a smile couldn't help but show in his feignedly cold eyes.

She shook her head helplessly. "I've met quite a few people who pursued me. Some sent flowers, some wrote poems, all sorts of people."

"But you are still the first person who amuses me like this."

"Then..." Lu Mo's face still wore that nonchalant smile, "Should I feel honored?"

"Honored?" Eden scoffed. "You seem to be oversimplifying things."

She didn't immediately put the gun away, but instead used the cold barrel to lightly tap his chest.

There's a saying: "One may be spared the death penalty, but cannot escape punishment."

"My first kiss wasn't something cheap, no matter what."

"You have to offer me something else in return, right?"

"Compensation?" Lu Mo laughed as he watched her somewhat clumsy attempt at bargaining. "Of course, no problem."

"but……"

He suddenly reached out and pulled her, gun and all, into his arms, holding her tightly.

"The compensation is me."

“If you don’t mind, Miss Eden,” his voice whispered close to her ear, like the most dangerous whisper, “now, I’m going to get serious.”

First, switch the camera to Kiana, who is monitoring Lu Mo.

Kiana looked at the screen, thoughtfully touching her chin.

"Sigh..." she sighed deeply.

"What's wrong?" Theresa, who was also observing, asked with some confusion, "Are you jealous because the captain is hooking up with someone again?"

"Jealous? Why would I be jealous?" Kiana shrugged matter-of-factly. "Isn't this normal?"

She pointed to the two figures on the screen.

"Look, Aunt Flo."

"If we're talking about the deepest feelings, it's definitely between him and me. After all, we've been together from the very beginning."

"If we're talking about his ideal partner, it would definitely be Beatrice. After all... well, you know how it is with Aunt Flo, I won't say anything more."

"But if we're talking about the best compatibility under serious circumstances, then it has to be Eden."

"Why?" Theresa was still somewhat puzzled.

“Because they’re the same kind of people,” Kiana explained. “They both know how to enjoy life and can immerse themselves in something. Look how naturally they talk.”

Kiana suddenly felt guilty at this point.

Although it was Lu Mo who took the initiative...

However, Lu Mo's original persona is somewhat gone.

"Eden may not be as good as us when it comes to romance. But in everyday interactions, she is probably the one he gets along with the best."

Of course, I'm referring to the romantic and poetic aspects.

The situation is different when it comes to daily necessities like rice, oil, and salt.

“So,” she sighed again, looking at the two figures on the screen who had already started kissing. There was no jealousy in her tone, but rather a hint of understanding.

"It's only natural that he could take her down so easily."

Kiana sighed because...

There's no good show to watch anymore.

She really wanted to see Eden being slept with by Lu Mo again and again.

Let's switch the camera back.

Eden, who had broken free from Lu Mo's embrace, began groping around inside the bar.

Before long, the bar was filled with different colored liquors.

“Mr. Lu Mo,” she picked up an empty wine glass and poured a glass of golden liquid into it, “I admit that what you did just now did make me… a little tempted.”

"But... I'm not the kind of woman who can be easily won over by a kiss."

"If you want me to be yours, fine."

"Let's finish these first."

Lu Mo looked at the wine that almost filled the entire table and fell silent.

...Oh no, I can't handle one drink!

Eden was somewhat surprised to see his troubled expression.

"What? Scared?" Her voice couldn't help but carry a hint of teasing. "It's not too late to back out now."

Lu Mo picked up the glass of wine in front of him, looked at the swirling liquid in the glass, and then looked at the beauty in front of him who was eagerly waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

Then he laughed.

"It's just drinking, isn't it?"

He downed the strong liquor in his glass in one gulp.

"If this is the price I pay to have you..."

He picked up a new bottle of wine and refilled it for himself and for her.

"—Then even if I get drunk and die here tonight, it will be worth it."

Chapter 257 A Date with Eden in Front of Ellie

Several days later, on a quiet afternoon in Paradise, a place rarely visited by people.

Lu Mo was comfortably resting his head on Eden's lap, his eyes closed, enjoying an experience that would drive countless people in the previous civilization crazy.
