Novel Full Chapter 185 - YUNYUE'S 'HATCHING EVENT'
LUO YAN just walked out of the teaching building and he immediately saw his younger brother waiting for him. He ran up towards Luo Jin's direction.
"Hey, no running," Luo Jin quickly scolded when he reached him. "What if you trip or something?"
Luo Yan only smiled.
After Luo Jin watched the advertisement video the day before, he spent hours listening to him nagging after they both logged out of the game. He kind of already expected that. But man, Luo Jin could really go on and on and on if he wanted to. Telling him why he had to appear on the video himself, what if some perverted player recognized that the black-haired elf was the white-haired Noctis? Wouldn't he just receive harassment? Luo Yan almost felt like his ears would bleed.
He knew he meant well and that he's only worried about him. So, he tried his best to explain to him that what he's worrying about wouldn't happen. For one, they're inside the game. He was just not some weak chicken like he was in real life. He could defend himself. And that he would barely appear in that get-up when he's in the pavilion anyway. So really, there's no need to worry. When he still continued nagging him even after he was being so nice, he could only use his secret weapon – his pearl like tears!
He made sure that he looked quite pitiful. Acting like he's Cinderella being bullied by his stepsister. At the end, his ever reliable tears and acting skills still won.
Luo Jin no longer tried to nag him after that. Probably realizing that it had no use anyway. But he'd definitely watch him like a hawk once his pavilion opened.
"Let's go, Ah Jin. I want to go home faster," he said pulling Luo Jin towards the parking lot near the teaching buildings.
Today was finally the day that his Little Ancestor would hatch. He was actually waiting for it to hatch yesterday, he even stayed playing until 10 in the evening waiting for it to happen. But it didn't. So, it definitely must be today. He was so excited just thinking of what kind of beast would hatch from the egg that he barely listened to any of his class today. Well, he never really listened that much. But today, it was even worse. If he wasn't reborn, he definitely wouldn't be able to answer any of the questions his teachers asked him today.
He wondered if it would be some kind of legendary beast? Ah, he really couldn't wait.
"I get it, so don't pull," Luo Jin complained.
He glanced back at Luo Jin and was about to say something when he saw Yu Jiao walking at a distance. Their eyes met and Luo Yan waved at her. She also smiled back. But she quickly took back her gaze and walked even faster. He almost laughed when he saw her reaction.
She probably just wanted to ignore him but she still involuntary smiled back. So, she's now walking fast. Probably in the hopes of people not noticing their small interaction.
Although the three of them had been eating lunch for the past two days, Yu Jiao was still acting very careful around them. It only meant that she still had her guard up against them. But there were moments where she showed a small smile. Which meant that his effort of trying to befriend her was not really in vain.
He believed that, soon, she would truly consider them as her friends.

Once Luo Yan logged in, the first thing he did was to go their team's headquarters and take his Little Ancestor from his room in the palace. He then walked to the main hall.
He asked his other team mates if they wanted to join him in waiting for his beast egg to hatch. He was really not that serious when he sent that message to them yesterday. He was just doing his daily dose of acting cute. Who would have thought that all three of them would say 'yes'. He was only planning to wait with Luo Jin. Now, it became some sort of team event.
Oh well, it never hurt to spend more time with his team mates.
On his way, he bumped into Bai Ze.
"Brother Ze!" he greeted and walked towards him.
"Xiao Yan, I'm not late, right?" Bai Ze asked, probably talking about their team's 'hatching event'.
"No, I just took my Little Ancestor from my room," Luo Yan said raising the big black egg he's holding. "I'm actually also on my way to the main hall." He then noticed Bai Ze's ardent gaze on his Little Ancestor. Remembering how this cousin of his was still looking for his own pet, Luo Yan securely hugged the egg. "Brother Ze, Little Ancestor is mine. You can't have it."
Bai Ze quickly took back his gaze when he heard that and earnestly said, "Xiao Yan, I'm not trying to take your Little Ancestor from you."
"Are you sure? Your gaze definitely says otherwise."
Bai Ze only made a 'ha ha' sound and scratched the back of his head. "Brother is just a bit envious. How could I even dare covet something that belongs to Xiao Yan?"
"Brother Ze still haven't found a pet?" Luo Yan just asked.
Bai Ze let out a long and deep and sigh. "No. I encountered some pretty strong ones. But I just don't feel them."
Luo Yan suddenly remembered that black dragon he found in his Origin Village. Should he tell Bai Ze about it? Maybe he could make it his pet. He looked at his cousin and then immediately changed his mind. He just felt that the dragon didn't fit Bai Ze's avatar. It's more suitable for… yes, who was it more suitable for?
An image of a young man with long dark purple hair, its tips tinted with silver, beast-like eyes, and a pair of golden antler-shaped horns, riding a black dragon just flashed in his mind. Surprisingly, there was no sense of violation in that image. Like a perfect painting.
Yes, the black dragon suited Shen Ji Yun's qilin avatar. Then should he tell him about it?
"Don't worry, Brother Ze. I'm sure you'll find something perfect for you," he just said to Bai Ze.
"Yeah, I hope so too."
The both of them continued walking towards the main hall. When Luo Yan opened the door, the rest of their team were already there. Which surprised him a bit. But he still smiled brightly at them and greeted everyone.
