The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]-Chapter 775 WITH OPEN ARMS

Chapter 775 WITH OPEN ARMS

　　LUO YAN opened his eyes and saw the white ancient palace of team Yunyue. After eating dinner, he logged into the game because their team had a meeting tonight. He logged out in a different location yesterday, so, he had to teleport the moment he entered the game.

He hadn’t yet taken a step when he heard a very energetic voice from the side calling him.

”Mashter!” 

He barely had time to look where the voice came from when he saw a flash of black rushing towards him like a canon ball. Then, he felt his arm being hugged. He looked down and saw a 12, 13-year-old boy. 

He had black hair and the most beautiful sapphire blue eyes. A pair of fox ears were on top of his head and six tails could be seen on his back. The most eye-catching was the blue gem on his forehead.

Luo Yan smiled helplessly. “Eclipse, didn’t I tell you not to rush at me like that? One day, I might just really fall on my back and hit my head.”

The boy pouted. “Of course, Eclipse wouldn’t let Mashter to fall. If you lose your balance, Eclipse will definitely pull you back as fast as Eclipse could.”

Luo Yan chuckled. Even the other had grown in height, Eclipse was still talking like a four-year-old. Referring to himself by his name and even lisping whenever he called him ‘mashter’. Granted, it wasn’t that long when Eclipse had another transformation.

Just a week ago, while grinding levels, the Elementum on the other’s forehead suddenly glowed. Eclipse was surrounded by light and once it subsided, another tail was added on his back. But that was not the only change. His humanoid form had also matured, from a seven-year-old to a 12-year-old. 

But it’s only his outer appearance that did. He still acted the same way he did when he was still just a little fox. Which Luo Yan totally had no problems with. It would probably be only a bit weird once Eclipse finally had his ninth tail. Because by then, this kid would probably have the appearance of an adult.

He actually couldn’t imagine an adult version of this kid still talking the same way. That would be… quite a sight to see.

Luo Yan only rubbed Eclipse’s head. “Yes, yes. You will catch me if I fall.”

”No, Mashter, Eclipse will only pull you back. The only one who should catch you once you fall is Captain,” the kid said with a serious expression, as if teaching Luo Yan.

Luo Yan raised one of his brows. “Where did you learn such a thing?”

Eclipse pushed up his chest and raised his chin, showing that he was very proud of what he was about to say. “From Sister Cat.”

Luo Yan’s expression collapsed a bit after hearing that answer. This ‘Cat’ the other was referring to was none other than Catnip. The girl his cousin had a crush on. 

After that ball the Duke of Hearts held, Eclipse and Catnip met again so the latter could give the former a fan-art she made. He wasn’t there with Eclipse when the two met. But he would guess that they got on rather well. Because after that, the two met from time to time and after each meeting, Eclipse would learn something not so useful. And most of the time, it had something to do with romance.

Now, whenever he had a chance, this kid would say something cheesy that would connect Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun in some way. Considering that Catnip was well-known for drawing fan-arts of him and Shen Ji Yun, he wouldn’t put it past her to instill some ideas on Eclipse. Ideas involving him and Shen Ji Yun. 

Since this kid already had a very solid belief about them, someone empowering it would only make him a max level shipper. And that’s truly how Eclipse had been for the past few days. Every chance he got, he would say something that paired him up with his favorite captain. 

Not that Luo Yan minded. But still. What Eclipse said was worth rolling his eyes over. Like just now. The other was practically telling him that he could only fall for Shen Ji Yun. If he hadn’t already fallen for the guy, he would be really annoyed by such a statement.

Luo Yan simply flicked Eclipse’s forehead as ‘revenge’. 

The other quickly held his forehead and said in the most grievous tone, “Mashter, how can you hurt Eclipse? Do you not love Eclipse anymore?”

”Stop and let’s just go inside.”

Eclipse acted as if he was hurt. “Mashter, you’ve changed.”

This time, Luo Yan did roll his eyes. “If you think so, then this master of yours could only stay silent.”

Eclipse only pouted. “Mashter is such a bully.”

Then, the other ran ahead. But not to the direction of the palace. “Where are you going?” 

Eclipse stopped temporarily and answered, “Eclipse is going to play with Uncle Dusk and the red lizard!”

Then, he continued on running.

Luo Yan could only shake his head. It had been more than a month since Rowan – the red dragon – joined their team as Bai Ze’s pet. But Eclipse still hadn’t taken a liking towards the other. As evidence of the kid still referring to him as a red lizard.

On the other hand, Dusk’s relationship with Rowan had only been getting better and better. Well, at least in Dusk’s standard of better. 

He was about to continue walking when he heard his name called.

”Yan Yan!”

Luo Yan turned back and saw Shen Ji Yun. The other appeared expressionless, but if one looked closely, they could see the tiny bit or arc at the corner of his lips. 

He stayed where he was and waited for the other to reach him.

When the other arrived before him, Luo Yan remembered his talk with Eclipse. He didn’t know what came over him. But he just found himself asking;

”Brother Ji Yun, if I fall, would you catch me?”

”Of course,” Shen Ji Yun said without hesitation. “With open arms.”

Somehow, that answer put a smile on Luo Yan’s face.
