The Return Of The God Level Assassin

SHEN JI YUN glanced at Luo Yan who was happily whistling a tune as they walked away from the valley of dragons. He looked like someone who just won the lottery. Well, with the things he asked of the archdemon, that was almost the case.

Why, you asked? Letʼs go back a few minutes ago when they were still at the top of the tower.

=====

The face of the archdemon visibly darkened after Luo Yan said those words. Looking at his face, Shen Ji Yun could tell that the other probably didnʼt like what Luo Yan was trying to insinuate – that he didnʼt love Alina that much. For an NPC programmed to only care about one person, saying something like that was certainly a taboo.

This kind of situation suddenly reminded him of his mother. Giving all your heart to one person to the point that it could no longer accommodate anyone else. Not yourself nor others. Thatʼs why when his father died, it broke his mother apart. Even now, she still remained as a broken version of her former self.

Shen Ji Yun was there to witness her motherʼs destruction. It was a pretty traumatic experience for a child his age. If not for his uncle, maybe he would be unable to heal those emotional and psychological wounds.

He vowed to himself back then that he wouldnʼt be like his mother. He wouldnʼt give everything to just one person. He wouldnʼt let be himself be destroyed by the emotion called ʼloveʼ. But after experiencing that emotion himself, he couldnʼt say the same now.

He secretly glanced at Luo Yan. The other was smiling sweetly at the archdemon while his eyes were filled with smugness. He liked this kind of look. Like a proud rabbit with his chin held up high and his hands on his waist.

Just like that, Shen Ji Yun couldnʼt help but feel that if it was Luo Yan, then he wouldnʼt mind giving him his everything. A helpless smile appeared on his handsome face. It turned out that thereʼs more of his mother in him than he thought.

”What do you want?”

The archdemonʼs voice interrupted Shen Ji Yunʼs thoughts. He turned to Luo Yan, waiting for the otherʼs answer. Because he was also curious as to what his rabbit would ask of the archdemon.

”First, when giving back my friendʼs memories, I donʼt want you to show yourself in front of him. Who knows what you would accidentally say? Being someone who doesnʼt care about anyone but your treasured person, you will definitely say something that will hurt him. Iʼm sure a great archdemon such as yourself could do something so simple as not showing your presence while giving him back his memories, right?”

The archdemon didnʼt answer. But his silence was already telling that he was acquiescing.

So, Luo Yan continued.

”Second, I want you to give both of us a treasure that you think is equivalent to the value of your Alina. Of course, that doesnʼt include the reward you will give us for getting your body back.”

Shen Ji Yun glanced at Luo Yan who was obviously ripping off the archdemon for all his worth and he could only shake his head in amusement. Really, seeing this side of his rabbit always brought a smile on his lips.

He turned to the archdemon whose face looked like it would drip ink at any second because of how dark his expression was.

”Thereʼs no treasure that could be of equal value to Alina.”

Luo Yan seemed to have expected that answer because he quickly responded;

”How about a level below that? Since, as your said, thereʼs no treasure that could be of equal value to Alina. Then, weʼre willing to accept something with a lower value. Surely there are some treasures out there that are of lower value to her.”

Even if Luo Yan said ʼlower valueʼ, it would definitely be something of high quality. Because if the archdemon gave something thatʼs not up to standard, itʼs almost like heʼs saying that Alinaʼs value was only that. So, he would definitely give something that would prove that her value was immeasurable.

Shen Ji Yun could tell that Luo Yan was really hellbent on ripping-off this archdemon. This guy definitely pissed off Luo Yan. If not, then his rabbit wouldnʼt be showing his black-bellied side right now.

The archdemon was silent again. But this silence also meant that he was agreeing. In which Luo Yan only smiled again.

”And finally, give us something that could help us destroy Achaeus. A spell or an item is fine. As long as it could help us easily destroy the island.” When there was no objection from the archdemon, Luo Yan continued, ”If you have no objection to the conditions I offered, then, letʼs put it all in a contract. Donʼt worry. We will get your body back before tomorrow ends. So, what do you say? Should we make that contract now?”

The archdemon stared at Luo Yan with narrowed eyes. Before letting out an annoyed sigh. Then, he swished his hand and a piece of parchment appeared in his hand. ”Fine. Letʼs sign a contract. Just make sure that you will indeed deliver my body here by tomorrow. If you fail. I think you already have an idea of what I will do to you and your friends.”

Luo Yan only showed an insincere smile. ”Sure.”

=====

Luo Yan must have noticed his gaze, because he suddenly looked back at him and asked, ”Whatʼs wrong, Brother Ji Yun?”

”Nothing. It just seemed like you thoroughly enjoyed haggling with the archdemon,” Shen Ji Yun only commented. Although what Luo Yan did was more of conning the archdemon instead of haggling with him.

Luo Yan grinned. ”Of course, we go a lot of benefits with just a little effort. Who wouldnʼt be happy with that?”

”I feel like thatʼs not only the reason,” Shen Ji Yun said with a teasing tone.

Luo Yan chuckled. ”Seeing that bastardʼs annoyed face was a definitely a bonus.”

”Well, itʼs certainly funny seeing him trying to rein in his anger.”

”Right?” Luo Yan said. ”Anyway, shall we go to our next destination?”

The corner of Shen Ji Yunʼs lips curved into a small smile. ”Yes, letʼs go to Achaeus.”
