As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

"Why worry about so much? Your most important thing right now is to focus on growing up. Leave all the other troublesome things to me!"

Hearing Kiana's words, Chenyuan waved his hand casually, then leaped onto her shoulder. A playful smile played on his lips as he teased, "You should just be a carefree paramecium!"

"Ugh~" Kiana was displeased upon hearing this. Her cheeks puffed up instantly, making her look like a cute little squirrel. She glared angrily at Chen Yuan, her cherry lips pouting so high they could practically hang a kettle on them! "You dare to look down on me like that! Humph, you just wait and see!"

Before she could finish speaking, Kiana swiftly grabbed Chenyuan, who was still firmly perched on her shoulder. Then, she dashed upstairs like the wind.

Rita and Himeko, who were downstairs, witnessed this sudden scene. They looked at each other, not knowing how to react for a moment.

"What a lovely girl~" Rita paused slightly, then a faint smile appeared on her lips; Himeko, on the other hand, crossed her arms and watched Kiana's departing figure with great interest. "What is that idiot up to now?"

Meanwhile, Kiana ran all the way and quickly arrived at the door of her room on the second floor. Without hesitation, she pushed open the door and strode inside.

Upon entering the room, Kiana went straight to the bedside and gently placed the Dust of Eternity in her hand on the soft bed.

Chen Yuan, who had been suddenly brought here, was still completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on. Sitting blankly on the bed, blinking, he looked at Kiana with a puzzled expression and couldn't help but ask, "Kiana, why did you drag me into your room without saying a word? What do you want?"

"Who told you to call me a paramecium!" Kiana's eyebrows furrowed, her pretty face showing obvious displeasure. She put her hands on her hips, her large, bright blue eyes glaring angrily at Chen Yuan.

"I'm not a paramecium! How dare you talk to me like that? Humph, I'll teach you a lesson today!" Kiana gritted her teeth, her cheeks puffed out slightly with anger, making her look extremely cute.

However, she had no time to care whether her appearance was pitiful or not; all she wanted was to teach Chen Yuan a lesson. "You just wait!"

Chen Yuan looked at Kiana, who was serious and furious, and couldn't help but find it a little funny. He raised an eyebrow and deliberately feigned a puzzled expression.

"Take a look at the color? I say, Miss Kiana, are you really so hungry that you're not thinking straight? Why are you saying things that don't make any sense?"

As he spoke, he shook his head in a mocking manner, seemingly quite helpless about Kiana's reaction. Seeing that Chen Yuan not only showed no remorse but also mocked her, Kiana's anger intensified.

She suddenly stood up, pointed at Chen Yuan, and shouted, "You've gone too far! You were the one who started this, and now you're trying to argue your way out of this!"

After saying that, she angrily tossed her head and turned to sit down on the edge of the bed. Even though she had her back to Chen Yuan, her displeasure was still evident on her face.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I promise I'll never say such things again, okay?" Chen Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw Kiana's persistent and unyielding attitude.

"Hey Kiana, why are you so fixated on this question? Do you really want to turn into a tiny paramecium? Hahahaha..."

However, faced with Chen Yuan's mockery and teasing, Kiana didn't laugh along or get angry as she had before. She simply snorted and forcefully pouted.

"Hmph, I don't want to be some kind of paramecium!" Kiana said loudly, her tone full of resentment. "Maybe I was ignorant before, and I didn't know what I really wanted."

"But things are different now! I've made up my mind to become a powerful Valkyrie who can protect Mei and that awful old man!"

"I'm going to let everyone know that I, Kiana, am not someone to be trifled with! Anyone who dares to underestimate me will be taught a lesson!"

Upon hearing Kiana's impassioned words, Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback, and the smile on his face instantly froze. He stared wide-eyed at Kiana in disbelief.

'Is this...is this still the same mischievous little girl I know? How come she suddenly seems like a completely different person? Could she have been possessed by some strange thing?' Thinking of this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but shiver, and a few beads of cold sweat even appeared on her forehead.

"She was probably provoked by Bianca and the others," Chen Yuan murmured to himself, recalling Kiana's usual noisy and boisterous manner.

This girl, who always clamors to become the strongest Valkyrie, is now acting strangely due to the sudden arrival of the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny. If I were in Kiana's position, I probably wouldn't be able to resist having some different feelings as well.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan gently shook his head, then slowly transformed back into a normal human. He slowly walked to Kiana's side and sat down, then reached out and carefully pulled Kiana into his warm embrace.

"I understand your deep desire to be strong, but my dear, the path to growth is never a solitary one," Chen Yuan said softly, gently stroking Kiana's hair.

"You need to learn to accept those around you who care about you and are willing to help you. Sometimes, relying on others appropriately is not a bad thing."

Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Kiana slightly raised her head, her eyes sparkling with a unique light. She bit her lip, seemingly wanting to refute something, but in the end she only weakly said, "But..." Her voice carried a hint of grievance and resentment.

"But what is it?" Chen Yuan smiled slightly, looking at Kiana encouragingly, waiting for her to continue.

Kiana hesitated for a moment before finally mustering her courage to speak, "I really don't want everyone to worry about me, and I don't want to be a burden to everyone because of my weakness!"

“This isn’t a burden, it’s trust.” After hearing this, Chen Yuan gently patted Kiana’s head. “When you’re willing to share your troubles with your friends, the bond between you will become stronger. Only in this way can you have more strength in the challenges ahead.”

"Hey! Wait a minute, what are you thinking about!" Hearing this, Kiana shook her cute little head violently, as if trying to shake off all the strange thoughts in her mind. Then she forcefully broke free from Chenyuan's warm embrace, and with a light jump, landed steadily on the ground.

Kiana stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Chen Yuan, and said loudly, "I'm not in an emo mood! And how can you so casually take advantage of me! That's too much!"

Faced with Kiana's accusation, Chen Yuan was momentarily speechless. He scratched his head, thinking to himself, "This is going to be difficult to explain."

Clearing her throat, she replied with feigned composure, "Um... well, it's probably because I take care of Theresa and the others so much that my movements have become a bit more natural. But I really just wanted to comfort you, I absolutely didn't mean to take advantage of you!"

However, Kiana clearly didn't believe Chen Yuan's explanation. She gave a light snort and said coquettishly, "Hmph, I think you're just saying one thing and meaning another. You're clearly just trying to take advantage of me! Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

Although she was sharp-tongued, a faint blush rose on Kiana's pretty face, clearly indicating that she wasn't as angry as she appeared.

Immediately afterward, Kiana seemed to suddenly remember something, frowned, and asked, "By the way, what did you mean by what you just said? What does becoming stronger have to do with relying on others? Explain it to me clearly!"

"This is a very important matter. You know, growth is a long and unknown journey for everyone, especially for someone like you."

"Becoming stronger isn't just for yourself; it's more about protecting those you hold dear and cherish in your heart," Chen Yuan said earnestly.

Kiana lowered her head slightly after hearing this, pondering Chen Yuan's words thoughtfully. After a short while, she responded softly, "Hmm... what you said... does seem to make a tiny bit of a point."

Seeing this, Chen Yuan smiled and continued to comfort Kiana, "I understand very well that you have always had your own clear goals and direction, and you are also very clear about what kind of person you want to become."

"However, on the road to pursuing dreams, you will inevitably encounter various difficulties and obstacles. Only by knowing how to rely on the strength of those close to you when appropriate can you reach your desired destination more quickly."
