The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL] Chapter 293

SHEN JI YUN stared at Luo Yan's smile. He felt like it was even brighter than the sun itself. With the moon shining above and illuminating them, Lou Yan's white skin looked more luminous. His long white hair was like silk threads that appeared too soft to the touch. His pair of blue eyes dusted with gold were bent into crescents. The long white eyelashes were like butterfly wings fanning his cheeks. 

There was only one thought in Shen Ji Yun's mind right at this moment – how could someone be so beautiful?

It's not just his physical appearance. Luo Yan's beauty radiates from within. Like a bright light that couldn't be extinguished. Whenever he went, he was like a small beacon. Even if you put him in a large group of crowds, he would definitely be the first one to be noticed. 

Shen Ji Yun couldn't help but start to worry. Luo Yan's horizon would just expand more and more as he experienced more things in life and as he met more people. Those people would surely find how good he was. Then they would fall in love with him. How could they not, when Luo Yan was so smart, beautiful, and charming? He could already foresee more and more rivals for him in the future.

Just thinking about it was already giving him a headache. 

But he cheered himself up. He just had to work hard then. He believed that he could stand side by side with Luo Yan without appearing inferior. He had never really given any thoughts about his looks. But people often said that he was handsome, so, he must be. He believed that he was also quite intelligent. He was also confident of his strength. Although he couldn't exactly say the same thing about his charm and personality, his looks might be able to make up for that. Right?

He shook his head. His thoughts were veering off to a completely different direction again. 

He raised his hand to cover his mouth and pretend to cough. "I have no doubt that you will," he said, replying to what Luo Yan last said.

[Captain is right, Mashter. You'd definitely win in this whatever carnival.] – Eclipse seconded.

Luo Yan chuckled and ruffled the little fox's furry head. [Thank you for your confidence.] 

[Captain also has a lot of confidence in Mashter. He might even have more confidence in you than Eclipse.] 

And… of course, this little guy wouldn't miss the opportunity to endorse his favorite captain. He almost rolled his eyes but quickly stopped himself.

Despite his pet's obvious bias behavior, he did get something right. That Shen Ji Yun did have a lot of confidence in him. Overwhelmingly so. A part of it was probably influenced by his feelings for him. And so, just like his father and brothers, he had a tendency to view him with rose-tinted glasses.

He didn't really know how to feel about that. But there's one thing he was sure of. He didn't hate it as much as he thought.

"Then I'll do my best not to disappoint you, Captain," he just said, grinning mischievously at Shen Ji Yun.

After he said that, a strong gust of wind blew in their direction. Luo Yan complained a bit inside. This almost real-life weather could be really annoying. He was about to fix his hair disheveled by the wind but someone already did that for him.

Shen Ji Yun stretched out his hand and tucked a strand of unruly hair behind Luo Yan's ear. "You can never disappoint me," he said, staring straight into the other's eyes.

Luo Yan was startled and unconsciously stepped back. He laughed dryly to hide his gaffe just now. And then said, "S-shall we go back now? I don't think we could find anything else here."

He turned around, his back facing him. He held his chest. He felt his heart skipped a beat just now. Seriously, this hidden Casanova. This unconscious flirting was truly lethal.

Shen Ji Yun didn't notice Luo Yan's awkwardness and nodded. "Where would you go next?"

Luo Yan already calmed himself. "To Goldcrest City. Then I'll log out."

He would log back in again once it was time to meet the number one Alchemist. If he didn't go out of his room, his father and brothers might suspect that he was lying about finishing his assignments.

Shen Ji Yun was about to ask if he would log in again later when he remembered that Luo Yan was going to meet that Alchemist later. He was very tempted to ask if he could be there during their meeting, but he stopped himself. He would just appear like a paranoid, obsessive, clingy bastard if he did. And he never wanted Luo Yan to think of him that way. 

So, he endured and curbed whatever it was that he really wanted to say. 

"How about Brother Ji Yun?" Luo Yan asked.

"I'll go to our headquarters." Shen Ji Yun glanced down at the still sleeping dragon. "I have to take Little Black back."

Luo Yan chuckled when he heard what he called Dusk. "He'll be livid if he heard you calling him that."

Shen Ji Yun snorted. "Let him. I don't really care much."

[Eclipse is sure that overgrown lizard is not Captain's opponent.] – Eclipse followed.

"Then, shall we separate here?" Luo Yan asked.

Shen Ji Yun was very reluctant to answer. Once they separated here, they might only meet again once the National Holiday started. But there's really no reason for him to ask Luo Yan to keep him company a while longer. So, he could only nod.

Luo Yan smiled and waved him goodbye before teleporting out of there with his pet fox.

Shen Ji Yun depressingly looked down at the sleeping dragon he was carrying. "Well, let's take you to your temporary home, Little Black."

Then he also teleported out of there.

———-

Luo Yan went out of his room after he logged out of the game. He learned from one of the maids that his father and older brother were both in the study. He looked at the clock and saw that it was just after three in the afternoon. So, he decided to go to the kitchen and made snacks for the two.
