128: The First Valkyrie

However, as the two massaged, Chen Xuan began a private conversation, intending to teach them the Cultivation Technique he had recently acquired from the System.

Both of them had encountered Chen Xuan very early on, so they naturally understood the Cultivation Techniques he spoke of.

...

After Cultivating, Chen Xuan brought the two girls back to his recently built “Grand Villa.”

All the architecture and decorations here were designed according to his hometown's style, with sofas, coffee tables, chandeliers, tableware, Simmons mattresses, and some special clothing, all readily available.

When the girls in the house learned that this was his hometown's style, they all accepted it happily.

And to be fair, they were very satisfied with most of the things here, but they were particularly resistant to the clothes Chen Xuan gave them!

They would never wear them out normally, not even in a Secret Realm! Only when Chen Xuan was with them would they reluctantly change into them!

But there are exceptions to everything; for example, Zhou Jingyi really liked the sailor uniform Chen Xuan gave her, Zhou Jingqi loved the professional OL outfit Chen Xuan gave her, and Little Zi and Liu Yun adored the... maid outfits Chen Xuan brought out!

However, Little Zi didn't look very good in it, while Liu Yun looked excellent.

“Master is back!”

Seeing Chen Xuan return to the villa, holding a girl in each hand, Little Zi quickly came out to greet him.

At this point, she was no longer underdeveloped due to malnutrition; after Chen Xuan's long-term care, Little Zi had now grown into a graceful young woman.

And although their relationship was said to be master-servant, Chen Xuan had already treated her as family.

Little Zi was currently wearing a cute maid outfit; her light blue dress accentuated her slender waist, and a pair of long, fair legs were faintly visible beneath the skirt. She wore black leather shoes, making her look like a little elf from a Fairy tale.

However, there was one thing Chen Xuan found very regrettable: she had never “grown” in a particular way! No, not in age, but in other specific aspects.

“Little Zi, haven't I told you that you can't fill out this outfit? You can try something else!”

“No, Little Zi, Little Zi just likes this one. Please, Master, grant my wish!”

“Alright, alright, if you like it! Have you fallen behind on your Cultivation these past two days?”

“No, I Cultivate very diligently every day! I'm already at Qi Refining eighth level!” Little Zi said, patting her small chest with a hint of pride.

But she was indeed worthy of pride. After all, she was just a Mortal a few years ago, and to reach such a state in just a few years through her own Cultivation was truly Genius.

“Mm, not bad, not bad. Keep working hard, and you'll reach Foundation Establishment soon!” Chen Xuan smiled and patted the girl's head before entering the house. However, he didn't see the hint of shyness that flashed in the girl's eyes.

Thus, Chen Xuan stayed in the Secret Realm for a few more days, spending quality time with each of his wives, before finally leaving the Secret Realm.

“System, bring up my personal panel!”

“Ding, displaying...”

Host: Chen Xuan

Cultivation: Golden Core Fifth Level (Solid Foundation)

Personal Potential: Divine Spiritual Root (Endless)

Physique: Strongest Cauldron (Developing), Flaw Eye

Cultivation Technique: Tao Te Ching (Preliminary Chapter)

Skills: Shrinking the Earth to an Inch (Beginner), Nine-Layered Wave Slash, various minor skills.

Heaven's Mandate Value: 52000

Current Plunder Target: Zhao Tianming

Items: Profound Ice Orb, valkyrie fragment * 7, one immortal spirit grass, one Aptitude Pill, one Thunderfire Sword, one Qilin Blood Jade, 31 lottery chances, Magical Flashlight, Mysterious Golden Egg... various assets!

“Oh? There are already 7 valkyrie fragments? And I still have 30 lottery chances. Bring up the lottery page! Let me pull out a Goddess of War in one go!” Chen Xuan rubbed his hands excitedly.

“Do you choose ten consecutive draws or...?”

“Ten consecutive draws! I'll draw three times this time!”

“Okay, the lottery interface has been opened!”

“Come out!” Chen Xuan directly pressed the 10-consecutive-draw button.

“Congratulations on obtaining Vermillion Fruit * 1”

“Thank you for your patronage!”

“Congratulations on obtaining valkyrie fragment * 1”

...

The first ten-consecutive-draw only yielded one Vermillion Fruit and one valkyrie fragment.

“What's the use of this Vermillion Fruit?”

“It can slightly increase Cultivation, improve Physique, strengthen the body, help extend lifespan, and also has healing and vitalizing effects.”

“However, the System suggests it's best to save it for the Goddess of War!”

“What, what do you mean?” Chen Xuan tensed up, feeling a bad premonition about spending money.

“Once the Goddess of War appears, the Host will know.”

“Then keep drawing!” Chen Xuan pressed the ten-consecutive-draw button again.

However, this time he wasn't as lucky as before. Out of 20 chances in total, he only drew one valkyrie fragment and five or six Vermillion Fruits.

“Damn it, I'm still missing one fragment! Isn't there supposed to be a guaranteed drop? Shouldn't it give me one more fragment? Is your System bugged?!” Chen Xuan's face turned red.

“Ding, there is no guaranteed drop for ten consecutive draws, so there is no bug!”

“You!” Chen Xuan was speechless. Now he was just one fragment short. It was no longer a question of whether he should wait, but what method to use to get this last fragment!

This item was directly sold in the System Mall for 20,000 per piece, which was enough for 20 draws, very expensive!

But drawing was unstable, and Chen Xuan wasn't sure if he was lucky enough, which gave him a headache.

However, he ultimately chose to draw. He didn't believe that he couldn't draw one fragment out of 20 chances! Even if he didn't get it, he could still get other things, so he wouldn't lose much!

Then Chen Xuan did two more 10-consecutive-draws, and finally got the last fragment.

“Ding, it has been detected that the Host has 10 valkyrie fragments. Do you wish to synthesize them?”

“Of course! Hurry up, do it immediately!”

“Synthesizing, please wait...”

After about a quarter of an hour, a figure suddenly appeared before Chen Xuan.

Her beautiful hair was as black and thick as dark clouds, her eyebrows long like a new moon, her nose bridge high, her lips rosy like cherries, and her skin as fair as snow. She exuded an elegant and dignified aura, like a Fairy from the heavens.

She wore a large crimson Bagua robe, embroidered with mysterious Talismans, fully displaying the Immortal Qi of a celestial being. On her feet were embroidered shoes, and each step seemed to carry Immortal Qi, graceful and at ease.

However, if one looked closely, a hint of dullness could be seen in her eyes.

“This, is this the Goddess of War? Why do I feel like she'd cry for a long time if I punched her?”
