The Return Of The God Level Assassin

SHEN JI YUN would have blushed by now after hearing such a compliment from Luo Yan. But coincidentally, he saw two small red hearts appearing on his peripheral vision. He was startled at first. But then he noticed that the hearts would appear every time he blinked. He quickly connected it to the glasses he was wearing. And seeing how Luo Yan looked like he was holding in his laughter, he knew that he must looked really ridiculous right now.

This was probably Luo Yan being black-bellied again and retaliating against him for making him wear a rabbit ear headband. He shook his head. It didnʼt matter if these glasses made him look like a fool or something. If it could make his rabbit laugh, then he didnʼt care.

The corner of his lips curved up. He didnʼt even notice how pampering and spoiling his smile was. ”Thank you. I also think Yan Yan is very cute.”

Luo Yan was a bit disappointed that he didnʼt see Shen Ji Yun blushing and panicking. He didnʼt even complain about the glasses. Even though he was plenty sure that the other had seen those small red hearts floating on both sides of his face. But instead, he just smiled at him. That kind of smile as if silently telling him that he could do anything and he would simply accommodate him.

[Youʼll spoiled me rotten, you know?]

But he didnʼt say that aloud and instead frowned. ”Brother Ji Yun, calling a man cute is not right. Iʼd rather you call me handsome.”

Shen Ji Yun looked at Luo Yanʼs face full of indignation. Even when frowning, he still looked cute. Especially because of the white rabbit ears on top of his head. But he still said seriously, ”Yan Yan is very handsome.”

Even though he knew he was just being perfunctory, Luo Yan was still satisfied.

”Shall we start asking the NPCs manning the stalls around before we enter the castle area?” he asked.

”Letʼs do that,” Shen Ji Yun agreed.

With that, the two of them started going around the stalls. The first one was a stall selling crepes. Of course, Luo Yan had to buy one for himself. The stall lets you customized any flavors you want. So, he picked coconut spread, fresh berries, whipped cream and powdered sugar. He also personally picked one for Shen Ji Yun. And since he knew the other didnʼt have a sweet tooth, he chose mango slices with goat cheese, almond, and basil.

He bit into the crepe he bought. The sweetness immediately spread in his mouth. It was so good he had to bite one more time. Once satisfied, he finally asked the NPC what they needed to ask.

”Excuse me, do you know a moon elf named Lhoris? He had been working here until a little more than a week ago.”

The male NPC selling crepes stopped and then thought for a while before shaking his head. ”Iʼm sorry dear guests but I donʼt know anyone by that name.”

”Itʼs okay,” he said.

They walked away from the stall. As they did, Luo Yan bit down again on the crepe he was holding.

”Well, thatʼs a no go. At least the crepe is delicious.” He glanced at Shen Ji Yun and he found that the other already ate a third of the crepe he chose for him. ”Do you like the flavors I picked for you, Brother Ji Yun?”

”Yes, itʼs good,” Shen Ji Yun answered without hesitation. How could it not be good when Luo Yan chose it for him himself? ”Want to try some?” he added, handing him his crepe.

Luo Yan looked down at the crepe handed to him and then at the guy who seemed oblivious with his own action. He probably didnʼt even think that much when he offered it to him. He just simply wanted him to taste the food heʼs eating. He wasnʼt even aware that his simple action was almost similar to flirting. It just showed how comfortable he was with him.

He just smiled, leaned down, and bit on the crepe. The sweet and salty flavor slowly melted in his mouth. It was certainly something even someone who didnʼt like sweets would love.

He raised his head and looked at Shen Ji Yun. Then he licked the whipped cream left on his lips. ”Delicious.”

Shen Ji Yun froze for a moment, his gaze almost glued on that pink tongue. A lot of things that he probably shouldnʼt be thinking suddenly flashed in his mind. Realizing what he was just doing, his whole face quickly turned red. He shook his head sharply and did his best to get those messy things out of his head.

He took back the crepe. And then he just realized that Luo Yan just took a bite on a food that he was eating. If this was real life, wouldnʼt this be like one of those things he read online – the famous ʼindirect kissʼ?

”Brother Ji Yun?”

With Luo Yanʼs call, Shen Ji Yun finally came back to his senses. ”Letʼs go to the next one.”

He quickly moved forward so that Luo Yan wouldnʼt see his embarrassment.

Luo Yan stared at Shen Ji Yunʼs back and chuckled. Because even if the other tried to hide it, he had already seen how his face flushed red earlier. His teasing heart was finally satisfied by that reaction. He happily followed Shen Ji Yun.

They went around, going from one stall to another. Eating all kinds of food. Sharing it with one another. But at the end, they still hadnʼt found any important information related to Lhoris.

The only thing Luo Yan was satisfied with was all the delicious food he had eaten. Because this was the virtual world, no matter how much he had eaten, he still didnʼt feel full. That meant that he could still eat a lot more food later.

”Going to a virtual amusement park certainly has its own perks,” he commented. ”At least here I could eat all the food I wanted.”

Shen Ji Yun quickly caught something from what Luo Yan said. That he had been to an amusement park. Which was not really surprising. But considering his accident, it had probably been long ago. He probably no longer remembered it. So, of course, his experience here would be better in his cognition.

”When was the last time you went to an amusement park?” he thought of asking.

”Almost two months ago,” Luo Yan answered nonchalantly. ”It was a date.”

Shen Ji Yun suddenly stopped walking. ”A date?”
