The Return of the God Level Assassin

1114  BACK IN THE GAME

BEFORE Luo Yan could even open his eyes, a rushing ball of fluff had already attacked him. He looked down and saw Eclipse's fox form. If he hadn't regained control of his balance as quickly as he did, he might have been thrown off.

Because Eclipse had now become bigger. Previously, in his fox form, he was only as large as a Siberian husky. Now, he was the size of the largest lion in the jungle. Additionally, his tails had increased from six to seven.

This transformation occurred because Eclipse underwent another 'evolution' last week. He didn't witness it firsthand, as he was prohibited from logging into Arcadia for a week due to the college entrance exam. Despite his attempts to convince his father and brothers that logging in for a few hours wouldn't impact his study time, they remained adamant. Shen Ji Yun also shared their opinion, which didn't really help. In fact, it only made the situation worse.

Because that guy, the one who's supposed to be his boyfriend, actually asked Brother Zhao to ban his account for a week. So, yeah, even if he tried to log in secretly, he couldn't.

Shen Ji Yun should be thankful that he loved him enough to not be seriously angry about that.

Anyway, because of those series of events, he wasn't there to witness Eclipse's growth. Fortunately, they could still communicate through the app. Had he not seen Eclipse's transformed appearance beforehand and was only seeing it now, he would have been in for a huge shock.

It's not just because he's now as big as a lion, but more because of...

Eclipse suddenly transformed into his humanoid form. Previously, the boy barely reached his waist, but now he was nearly as tall as him. He no longer appeared to be 12 or 13 years old, but rather 16 or 17.

Yes, the shock factor was because of this.

It was like a parent watching their young son grow into an adult overnight. That's how surprised Luo Yan was when Eclipse first showed his new form to him.

And now that they were almost the same height, being hugged like this felt just a tiny bit awkward. Mainly because he was still not used to Eclipse being this big. It's like he was being hugged by a stranger, rather than Eclipse.

"Master, I miss you!"

Another change was that Eclipse no longer referred to himself in the third person. Reflecting on how much Eclipse had grown since hatching from an egg, Luo Yan felt a bit emotional. He returned his hug and gently patted his back.

"Our Eclipse is all grown-up now."

"Not really. I'm still Master's little Eclipse."

Luo Yan chuckled when he heard that. But before he could properly say a response, he felt something encircling his waist, and then he was suddenly pulled back. He didn't even have time to react because of how fast it happened.

He instinctively looked up and saw a familiar, handsome profile. "Brother Ji Yun?"

Shen Ji Yun looked down at him, his expression more serious than before. He must have realized that there's no reason for him to have that expression. He sighed and let go of Luo Yan. "I'm sorry, my body just moved on its own."

Luo Yan tilted his head and quickly understood what the other meant.

"Ah! Captain, are you jealous of me?" Eclipse suddenly exclaimed, which was exactly what Luo Yan was thinking. Eclipse seemed a little bit too happy at that thought. He raised his chin and chest, showing just how proud he was. "I understand, Captain. If I'm you, I will also be jealous of myself. After all, I'm this handsome."

"Ah! Captain, are you jealous of me?" Eclipse suddenly exclaimed, which was exactly what Luo Yan was thinking. Eclipse seemed a little bit too happy at that thought. He raised his chin and chest, showing just how proud he was. "I understand, Captain. If I'm you, I will also be jealous of myself. After all, I'm this handsome."

Luo Yan laughed out loud when he heard that. "Where did you learn that?"

Shen Ji Yun resisted the urge to turn to Luo Yan and say, "From you." As a good boyfriend, he didn't need to reveal his occasional narcissistic tendencies. Besides, loving oneself was never a bad thing.

But Eclipse seemed to not mind exposing his master, though.

The boy patted his chest and said rather proudly, "From Master, of course! I learned to love myself from Master." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The smile on Luo Yan's face froze, and then he scratched his cheek and cleared his throat, as if to hide his embarrassment. "Okay, that's a good attitude."

"Anyway, I'll leave the two of you since you probably haven't seen each other for a while and I don't really want to be a third-wheel." Eclipse started walking, but before long, he looked back again. "Ah, right! Congrats on finishing that important exam, Master. I know you'll definitely get a perfect score!"

Luo Yan laughed. "Thank you."

And with that, Eclipse turned once again into his fox form and left.

"That kid, when did he become so cheeky?" Luo Yan said with an amused tone. Then he turned to Shen Ji Yun. "Do you also think that I show too much self-love?"

For a peaceful relationship, Shen Ji Yun decided to be neutral. "I think you show just enough. Just like any other normal person would."

Luo Yan nodded. "Right? There's no way my little self-love is that different from others."

Shen Ji Yun didn't really want to continue on with this topic. So, to take Luo Yan's attention from it, he simply hugged the other.

"I miss you."

Sure enough, Luo Yan's attention was diverted. The other hugged him back.

"I miss you too." Then, as if remembering something, he let go of Shen Ji Yun and playfully pinched his cheek. "I still haven't forgotten how you banned me from playing for a week."

Shen Ji Yun smiled helplessly, allowing Luo Yan to pinch him as much as he wanted. "I'm sorry. I was just thinking of you. If I overstepped your boundaries, you can punish me as you see fit."

"You..." Luo Yan pinched both of the other's cheeks. "How can I punish you when you're this handsome and lovable?"

With both cheeks being pinched, Shen Ji Yun couldn't speak without sounding comical. So, he simply lowered his head, silently asking for a kiss. Luo Yan seemed to understand, and he raised his head to give him one.
