The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 1170: YUNYUE VS FENGHUANG (V)

UPON reading Luo Yanʼs reply, Shen Ji Yunʼs mind instantly conjured an image of a young Luo Yan with golden ringlets, dressed in a dress. A strikingly beautiful girl took shape in his imagination. The sudden, overwhelming desire to see Luo Yan as a child filled him—not because the idea of him as a little girl intrigued him, but because he simply longed to see the child version of Luo Yan. The thought of him wearing a dress was merely an amusing and delightful bonus.

Shen Ji Yun reread Luo Yanʼs reply, noting how unbothered the other seemed about revealing the role he had to play. Realizing there was no reason for him to feel embarrassed either, he felt a sense of calm wash over him. It seemed he wasnʼt the only one who came to this conclusion, as both Bai Ze and Luo Jin finally shared the roles assigned to them as well.

White Marsh: [Iʼm playing the role of... Comtesse de Valenbourg, an old hag who loves to complain about everything around her. Sheʼs traveling on the Orient Express for a vacation and is accompanied by a companion, one of those ladies-in-waiting types. Thatʼs the basic summary.]

AmazingYoungMasterJin: [My role is... Madame Violet Duval, a renowned... courtesan who once moved seamlessly through the circles of French high society. Having recently retired, she is now treating herself to a well-deserved journey aboard the Orient Express, a reward for all the years she dedicated to her profession.]

Shen Ji Yun nearly burst into laughter as he read Bai Zeʼs reply. The thought of him playing the role of an annoying old woman was downright hilarious. But when he saw Luo Jinʼs response, the laughter he was about to release got stuck in his throat.

A courtesan? Under normal circumstances, that would have made things even funnier. But with the role Shen Ji Yun was playing, coupled with one of his individual missions, the amusement faded, and he found himself momentarily frozen.

What if the role Luo Jin was playing turned out to be the secret lover of his character? The thought alone made Shen Ji Yunʼs skin crawl, a cold shiver running down his back as he grimaced.

White Marsh: [Thank you, Xiao Jin. Your reply made me feel a bit better.]

AmazingYoungMasterJin: [...Shut up.]

Morganite: [Itʼs definitely better to be a pretty woman than an old hag.]

In essence, Su Yuqi was pointing out that Luo Jin had a more favorable role than Bai Ze, so there was no reason for him to feel embarrassed.

White Marsh: [Hey, Su Yuqi, could you be a little less obvious about your bias toward Xiao Jin?]

Morganite: [Itʼs not bias towards Ah Jin—Iʼm just naturally against you.]

White Marsh: [You---]

AmazingYoungMasterJin: [Whatʼs your role, Yuqi?]

Luo Jin likely sensed that the bickering between the two would drag on, so he quickly changed the topic. If he hadnʼt stepped in, Shen Ji Yun would have done it himself.

Morganite: [Iʼm playing the role of a male attendant responsible for the third train car.]

White Marsh: [Tsk.]

It was obvious from his reaction how disappointed he was that Su Yuqi hadnʼt been assigned a more embarrassing role.

Noctis: [Brother Ji Yun? How about you?]

Reading Luo Yanʼs message, Shen Ji Yun sighed. Itʼs finally his turn to answer.

YUN: [Iʼm a playboy duke.]

A brief silence fell on the team channel. Shen Ji Yun couldnʼt shake the feeling that the others were most likely laughing right now.

Noctis: [A playboy, huh?]

Luo Yan was the first to respond, and although Shen Ji Yun couldnʼt hear his voice, he was certain it was laced with amusement.

White Marsh: [Ji Yun, can you play this role without going out of character?]

YUN: [Donʼt worry about me, I will try my best to play it as best as I could. You should also do the same.]

Morganite: [Iʼm sure Bai Ze would have no problem playing a nagging old woman. With their similarities and all. ¬‿¬)

White Marsh: [Hey, attendant, I just checked. Iʼm in the third train car. You better follow all my orders or I will have to report you to the train manager.]

Sensing that the conversation was drifting off course, Shen Ji Yun intervened, much like Luo Jin had earlier, and steered it back on track before it could veer further from the main topic.

YUN: [Please state your individual missions.]

White Marsh: [Mine is nothing much. Just donʼt go out of character and make sure to complain every 10 minutes.]

That was similar to his individual missions, except for the part about finding the lover, Shen Ji Yun thought.

AmazingYoungMasterJin: [If Iʼm in a room full of people, I need to make sure everyone looks at me at least once—not because I did something foolish, but because of my beauty. And also, I must be careful not to become Jack the Ripperʼs target, considering my former profession.]

Shen Ji Yun nodded. It made sense, given that Jack the Ripper was infamous for targeting prostitutes during his killing spree in Whitechapel.

Morganite: [Mine is simple: just make sure I do my job as an attendant properly and donʼt give anyone the chance to complain about my service.]

Noctis: [I have to find out the secret of the lady who adopted me and make sure she also not suspect Iʼm not the real ʼMaryʼ.]

Seeing as everyone had already responded, itʼs now Shen Ji Yunʼs turn. He sighed once again. Should he be thankful that they were not in the same cabin? Because if they were, he was sure that they would definitely laugh at him after this.

YUN: [I have to flirt with a woman every 15 minutes. At the same time, I also needed to search for my secret lover.]

Just like when he responded earlier, an awkward pause appeared on the team channel. Once again, it was Luo Yan who first sent a reply.

Noctis: [Flirting with other women, and even having a secret lover. You sure are busy, Brother Ji Yun.]
