The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL] Chapter 574

BEFORE Shen Ji Yun could make any response, asking the boy what he meant by what he said, Eclipse suddenly spoke again, completely changing the subject.

"Eclipse wants new clothes," the little boy said, puffing up his cheeks while looking down at the simple clothes he was wearing.  "Eclipse wants cute ones!"     

Luo Yan quickly took advantage of Eclipse's transfer of attention.  He immediately spoke first before this little fox said something again that would embarrass him, "I have a full set of costume here for you.  You can try it first and if you don't like it, I can just buy you a new one."

Eclipse turned to him, his eyes almost twinkling.  "Mashter already had clothes prepared for Eclipse?"

Luo Yan stretched out his hand and ruffled the top of the other's soft black hair.  "Of course.  I had to be prepared in case you suddenly transformed into your humanoid form.  I can't have you wearing such simple clothes now, could I?  After all, it wouldn't suit our Eclipse's cuteness."

He was actually waiting for Bian Que to make a potion or a pill that could transform a player's pet into their humanoid form.  That's why he had already bought a costume for Eclipse in preparation.  It was something that would automatically fit Eclipse no matter how big or small he was in his humanoid form.  But who would have thought that this little guy would transform naturally before that famous Alchemist could make a potion or a pill?

The little boy seemed to be really happy by what he heard, as evidence of the five fluffy tails wagging behind him.  "Mashter is really the best!  Eclipse wants to try the clothes Mashter prepared."

Luo Yan opened his Items Tab.  When he saw the costume he brought for Eclipse on one of the grids, he dragged it to the Pet Status Tab.  He clicked it and an option window appeared in front of him, asking if he wanted to equip the costume of his pet.  He picked 'yes'.  Then Eclipse was suddenly surrounded by black smoke.

When the smoke dissipated, what appeared was a boy wearing a puffy teal gray coat over light brown knitted sweater.  The coat was open and had a wide collar.  Its cuffs, as well as its outer pockets, and collars all were in the same color – beige.  Below, he was wearing dark gray shorts with white stripes.  On both sides were brown outer pockets. 

These were paired with a pair of brown leather boots that reached just above his ankle and a pair of white socks just below his knees.  On top of his head was a teal gray newsboy cap.  There were holes on both sides of the cap to accommodate his fox ears.  The same could be said behind his shorts.  That's why his five fluffy tails could still be seen.

Eclipse looked down with excitement.  Then he looked at the back, and then stretched his hand to look at the sleeves.  "Does Eclipse look cute?"

"Yes, very," Luo Yan said, smiling.  He really had good taste in clothes.

"Eclipse looks wonderful," Shirayuki added.

The little boy then turned to Shen Ji Yun who was the only one who hadn't given his opinion.  "Captain, what do you think?"

"Good," Shen Ji Yun said absent-mindedly, his mind was still on what this little fox had said earlier.   

Eclipse pouted.  "Why does Eclipse feel Captain is being perfunctory?"

"You know your captain always looks like that.  He might appear perfunctory but he meant what he said," Luo Yan said. 

Although that was the case sometimes, but this time, he was sure Shen Ji Yun was indeed being perfunctory.  He hadn't even look at Eclipse and instead just kept on giving him secret glances.  Knowing the other, Luo Yan was sure that he was definitely still thinking about what Eclipse had said earlier.

"Why don't you ask your aunt to take you to a room with a full-length mirror so you can look at the costume yourself?" he added to take away Eclipse's attention from Shen Ji Yun.

That seemed to be effective, because the little boy turned to Shirayuki and said, "Can we, Aunt Yuki?"

Shirayuki smiled.  "Of course."

Then the female kitsune stood up.  She bent down and held Eclipse.  Then the two went to wherever room in this house that had a mirror.

"Brother Ji Yun, I think we should log out after they return," Luo Yan said.  Aside from wanting to take Shen Ji Yun's thoughts away from what the other was obviously thinking right now, he also really had to log out right soon since it's almost lunch time.  "Let's log in again, maybe, later at one o'clock.  What do you think?" 

"Okay, let's do that," Shen Ji Yun answered.

Luo Yan was about to let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Shen Ji Yun was no longer thinking about the nonsense that Eclipse said, but as he was about to do so, he suddenly heard the other's question;

"Why did Eclipse say those things earlier?  Was he just teasing?"

Instead of a sigh of relief, just a helpless sigh escaped Luo Yan's lips.  He turned to Shen Ji Yun.  The other looked a bit shy and also genuinely confuse.  He knew whatever he said, Shen Ji Yun would believe him readily.  But he didn't want to do that.  Aside from feeling guilty, it would also be unfair to the other.  After all, he had always preach to him that he shouldn't lie when it came to things like this.

Besides, telling him the truth now would also help Shen Ji Yun be prepared in the future whenever Eclipse would say something similar.  So, he took a deep breath and told the truth.

"Eclipse always kind of pair you with me.  In his mind, the two of us are already a couple.  That's why he said those things.  I- I hope you don't get offended."

Even though Luo Yan knew Shen Ji Yun would definitely not get offended by that, he still felt a bit embarrassed after saying it. 

As expected, Shen Ji Yun readily said, "I won't get offended at all!"

[In fact, I like it very much.] – this last part, he almost blurted out.  Good thing he stopped himself in time.
