The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL] Chapter 547

THE Gatekeeper gave them a wooden box after he calmed down.  No- it's probably more accurate to say that it was not just him who needed to calm down, Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun also needed to as well.

Even though they only had that small conversation and the other didn't really tell him anything about his past, Luo Yan still felt like both of them had become much closer than before.  It's like they didn't need words and their hearts still managed to communicate with one another.

It was a weird conjecture.  But Luo Yan still liked it.  Because it showed that the two of them understood each other on an almost spiritual level.  How could he not be happy about that?  If you and the partner you had chosen could have this level of understanding, you wouldn't only feel happiness but a different kind of contentment as well.

It's like realizing, 'ah, I'm really glad this is the person I have fallen for'.

Then the Gatekeeper suddenly spoke, cutting off Luo Yan's thoughts.  "Inside this box is an item that Finnea had left.  I think- I think she would be happy if the two of you received it." 

Luo Yan quickly fell back to the role of a caring junior.  "Is it really alright for us to take it?"

"Yes.  Just think of it as a sign of gratitude from our whole family."

After the Gatekeeper said that, Luo Yan no longer questioned him and just accepted the box.  Because no matter what he said, he would still have to accept this box anyway.  After all, it's probably their reward for this hidden task.

"Thank you once again for giving me this final closure," the Gatekeeper added.

Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun then said goodbye to the Gatekeeper, expressing their regret that they couldn't join them for lunch because they still needed to go somewhere.  After that, they left the wooden cabin.

"Finally, I thought the two of you had no plans to leave that place," Dusk complained the moment they walked a couple of steps away from the cabin.

[Uncle black lizard, you need to be more compassionate.  How could you find an auntie for Eclipse if you don't have a beautiful heart?  Even another uncle would probably not want to be your partner.] – the little fox said in a righteous manner.

Dusk flared up again.  "Who wants to look for an aunt for you?  And what uncle?  This king is a male!"

[Tsk… tsk… tsk… uncle black lizard should also not discriminate against genders.  Don't you know that the king of Arcadia promotes free love?  Just look at Eclipse's Mashter and Captain, aren't they the most perfect couple?]

The miniature version of the dragon was obviously surprised by this statement.  Luo Yan, who could hear the whole conversation between the two, quickly spoke before Dusk could do so and say something that would make Shen Ji Yun understand the context of what the two were talking about. 

"Dusk, can you bring Eclipse somewhere to play for a while?  I just have something to say to Brother Ji Yun."  After he said that, the dragon obviously wanted to refuse.  So, he could only add, "Please?"

Of course, he didn't forget to blink his big blue eyes while giving the dragon an expectant look.  The dragon looked conflicted.  But at the end, he still agreed, albeit complaining in the process.

"This king will only do this once!"

Dusk flew from Shen Ji Yun's shoulder and his talons grabbed Eclipse's fluffy back before flying away with the little fox who did not forget to call out to his master before being taken away.  Luo Yan only waved his hand towards the little fox who looked like he was about to cry.

He wasn't worried that Dusk would hurt Eclipse.  Although the other was surly, unreasonably violent was not part of his character settings.  As evidence, even though he was obviously very reluctant to agree to Luo Yan's request, he still did so and he even grabbed Eclipse in a gentle manner where the other wouldn't feel pain.

After the two left, Luo Yan finally turned to Shen Ji Yun.  "Should we open our rewards?"

"Please," Shen Ji Yun said in a gesture telling the other that he should be the one to do it.

Luo Yan didn't disappoint him and simply opened the box.

What's inside were a pair of earrings.  It was that type of long earring that had something dangling at the end.  The thread in which it connected the hook and the ornament that was dangling at the end looked like a thin silvery line of moonlight.  It was so thin that it looked like it was not even there.  The ornament, on the other hand, looked like a beautiful full moon.  Which was also giving out a captivating silvery sheen. 

It was beautiful and all but there was only one set of earrings and there were two of them.  What, did they have to split the earrings and each would have one?  Wasn't this a bit overwhelming for a reward of a hidden task that was also a chain task? 

Just thinking of all the things they had to do just so they could finish that task and only receiving a pair of earrings as a reward, Luo Yan couldn't help but feel annoyed.  Knowing Shen Ji Yun, he would definitely just give this reward to him.  Anyway, it's better to check the function of this earrings first.  He told that to Shen Ji Yun before the other could suggest that he should just have the earrings.

He put it in his Items Tab and checked its description.

Moonlight Earrings

– A pair of earrings blessed by the moon goddess.  It's a special type of communication device that would allow two people who were wearing one of each pair communicate with each other no matter how far they were from one another.  It could even give them a signal if one of them were in danger. 

– According to legends, this pair of earrings are forged by the moon goddess herself for her and her lover.  If you have a partner, don't hesitate to give them the other half of this wonderful earrings.

Wasn't this what people would call – couple earrings?
