Chapter 164: Chapter 82: The Valkyrie is a Loli! Luck Value +100
"Land of the Blooming White Rose?"
Su Xuan murmured, then withdrew from the space within the Soul Necklace. He had no reason to refuse the request from the Valkyrie’s remnant soul.
The temptation of that Super Rare [Valkyrie] Trait was simply too great!
"Since the withering of the White Rose has been stopped, let’s head back."
"Okay."
...
In the blink of an eye, Su Xuan and the others were back in Yerman’s castle.
It was now eight o’clock at night. The sky was inky black, and Sunset City was completely silent.
"It’s getting late, so I’ll be leaving now. Good night."
After seeing Natasha and the others to their rooms, Su Xuan prepared to leave.
Just as Su Xuan was about to go, Natasha gently grabbed his wrist, a soft light glowing in her eyes.
After a brief hesitation, she said softly, "The effects of the withering have left me a little unsettled. Could you... tuck me in before you go?"
A flicker of understanding passed through Su Xuan’s eyes. He naturally understood the meaning behind Natasha’s words. He was more than happy to accept such a clear invitation.
"The only story I know is Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf."
"That’s the only story I want to hear~"
"..."
Su Xuan followed Natasha into the room, and the door shut tightly behind them.
Outside the door, Roxia looked utterly confused. She turned to her aunt, Rosaline, and asked doubtfully, "Are they really going to tell stories?"
"Mhm."
Rosaline replied curtly and walked quickly to the reception room across the hall.
Roxia didn’t dare to overthink it and went straight back to her own room to rest.
About two hours later, after Su Xuan had finished his "story," a fully satisfied Natasha had passed out.
"We should go."
Su Xuan said as he walked out of the room, speaking to Rosaline in the reception room.
"Right."
Rosaline put down her book and stood up, ready to follow Su Xuan.
But when Rosaline noticed Su Xuan wasn’t opening a Teleportation Array back to the Guild, a flicker of doubt crossed her mind.
However, she rarely questioned Su Xuan’s actions, choosing to follow him quietly and trust his decisions.
Before that, however, Rosaline reminded him, "You should wash your face first. It’s covered in lipstick marks."
"!!?"
「Scene change.」 Su Xuan and Rosaline stepped into the Land of the Blooming White Rose.
The so-called Land of the Blooming White Rose was located in a valley near Sunset City.
The valley was deep and silent, filled with the ceaseless chirping of insects. It was pitch-black—so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
Su Xuan immediately cast a Lighting Technique, illuminating their surroundings.
When they reached the center of the valley, Su Xuan found a statue of a Valkyrie. However, the statue was now dilapidated, with only parts of its form still vaguely recognizable.
The upper half of the statue had collapsed and was covered in overgrown weeds.
"This is the place?"
Su Xuan asked with a hint of confusion.
In this so-called Land of the Blooming White Rose, he couldn’t see even a single White Rose...
As he was pondering this, the voice of the White Rose Valkyrie echoed in his mind. "This is it. Wait a moment."
"Oh."
Su Xuan responded, his gaze sweeping the area. He wondered why the Valkyrie’s remnant soul wanted to come here, going so far as to leave the protection of the Soul Necklace just to do so.
Before he could finish the thought, a brilliant light suddenly flashed from the center of his brow.
Bathed in this ray of white light, the surroundings underwent an earth-shattering transformation in an instant!
The once-barren valley instantly burst with vibrant life!
White Roses appeared out of thin air, blooming one after another right before Su Xuan’s eyes!
In just one minute, the empty valley was covered in white Roses. The collapsed statue was also surrounded by them, and atop its broken surface, a single white Rose, three to four meters wide, was quietly blooming, splendid and mysterious.
"..."
Su Xuan watched everything in astonishment. ’I didn’t expect the scene to change so quickly.’
One moment it was an empty valley, the next it was submerged in an ocean of White Roses. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
As the Roses bloomed, a faint white glimmer emerged from between Su Xuan’s brows and drifted gently toward the large white Rose on the statue.
This wisp of light seemed to accelerate the Rose’s blooming process. As the petals unfurled one by one, Su Xuan was amazed to see a small, delicate figure curled up inside the bud.
"Is that...?"
Su Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at the petite figure inside the White Rose.
At the same time, a notification message appeared in his vision.

"She’s the White Rose Valkyrie?!"
Su Xuan looked astonished. ’The White Rose Valkyrie is actually a loli?’
Under Su Xuan’s shocked gaze, the White Rose Valkyrie slowly opened her eyes. Her grayish-white pupils had a unique shape, like a blooming flower. Her skin was not that of an ordinary human, but fair as jade and bright as the moon, emitting a mysterious and elegant luster. It looked more like the petals of a White Rose than a normal woman’s skin.
What concerned Su Xuan even more was the armor the White Rose Valkyrie wore. It was constructed from White Rose Petals. It looked fragile, yet possessed an ineffable and exquisite subtlety. Each petal seemed to have a life of its own, bestowing the White Rose Valkyrie with immense Divine Power.
"Young man,"
The White Rose Valkyrie slowly stood up. Then, the voice of a tsundere-like girl—fast-paced and clear—rang out. "Thank you for bringing me here this time. I’ll forgive you for barging into the Soul Space time and again."
"..."
Su Xuan looked thoughtful. ’So she’s a tsundere!’
’The tsundere trope is so outdated...’
Moreover, the White Rose Valkyrie before him was completely different from what Su Xuan had expected. He had imagined she would be a cool, dignified, and mature "onee-san" type, but he never thought she’d turn out to be a tsundere loli.
This unexpected contrast made Su Xuan wonder: ’Are the Valkyries ranked by height?’
"Did you come here to do something?"
Su Xuan asked the White Rose Valkyrie.
"Is what I’m going to do any business of a mortal like you?" the White Rose Valkyrie shot Su Xuan a glance before turning her gaze to the collapsed statue.
"Fine, don’t tell me."
Su Xuan shrugged. He wasn’t that curious about the White Rose Valkyrie’s business anyway.
The White Rose Valkyrie stared at the collapsed statue for a long time, as if reminiscing. Then, she let out a deep breath, turned her serious gaze to Su Xuan, and said, "The duty of protecting the White Rose can only be entrusted to you now. I can’t even fend for myself, so I can no longer protect this place."
"Also, I know what you did to my White Rose! The moment I descended, I sensed a filthy stench coming from it! You dirty, disgusting brute!"
"!"
Su Xuan knew deep down that the one standing before him now was not the remnant soul of the White Rose Valkyrie.
It was the real, flesh-and-blood White Rose Valkyrie!
’Did the Valkyrie’s remnant soul use its mark to allow the White Rose Valkyrie to temporarily descend upon the Magic Continent?’
"Oh." Su Xuan rubbed the tip of his nose and agreed.
"Hmph, smart move," the White Rose Valkyrie said coldly. "You’ve done a great service by stopping the White Rose’s withering. I won’t treat you poorly."
As she spoke, she flicked her finger, and a wisp of pure white light shot into the center of Su Xuan’s brow. "This is the reward you deserve."
[You have received the blessing of the White Rose Valkyrie: Your Luck Value has increased by 100!] ƒгeewёbnovel.com
’+100 Luck Value?!’
Su Xuan’s eyes widened instantly. That was an astonishing increase!
While Su Xuan was still stunned, the White Rose Valkyrie’s body began to turn translucent, about to vanish completely. But before she disappeared, she issued one last warning, "Watch your size! No, wait...!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she dissolved into motes of light and vanished before Su Xuan’s eyes.
’Size? Did she mean to say I should watch my limits and sense of propriety?’
Su Xuan frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected the White Rose Valkyrie to be so... concise.
[The Wish of the Valkyrie’s Remnant Soul (Complete)!]
[Reward Gained—Super Rare Trait ’Valkyrie’!]
"Hiss~"
Su Xuan drew in a sharp breath, his eyes twinkling with delight.
Now that he held two Super Rare Traits, [Immortal Fire] and [Valkyrie], the probability of recruiting a Mythical-grade Adventurer had undoubtedly increased dramatically!
"Rosaline, it’s time to go home."
Su Xuan quickly activated the Teleportation Array, preparing to return to the Guild.
But Rosaline was still staring at the gradually vanishing white Rose, her expression focused.
"Rosaline?" Su Xuan was a bit puzzled. ’Does the little Skeleton have something on her mind?’
"It’s nothing," Rosaline said softly, then followed Su Xuan into the Teleportation Array, vanishing in an instant.
After a flash of white light, the two of them returned to the Guild.
Su Xuan washed up quickly, then fell into a sweet sleep.
But when he entered the Dream Realm, just as he was preparing to "discipline" the Elf Queen again, he found a message she had left for him.
[This Queen is feeling a bit unwell. We will meet again tomorrow, little one.]
"?"
Su Xuan rubbed his chin, pondering the Elf Queen’s discomfort. ’It seems my wicked thoughts had quite an effect on her.’
With time on his hands, Su Xuan took out the five precious leaves from the Elf Mother Tree. Each leaf could increase his unallocated Attributes by 30 points, for a total boost of 150 points. Furthermore, these leaves were a personal blessing from the Elf Mother Tree, usable only by him; he couldn’t give them to Ivsha or the others.
’I should try eating one first.’
Su Xuan carefully picked up a leaf from the Elf Mother Tree and placed it in his mouth. Instantly, a fresh flavor filled his mouth, and it felt as if a stream of Life Force was coursing through his body, making him feel more comfortable and refreshed than ever before.
