The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

LUO YAN picked up the dropped item.  He was kind of excited.  Because aside from dungeon bosses that automatically gave players rewards as long as you defeated them, but this was the first time that a monster/NPC that they had defeated dropped an item. 

Ordinary monsters only often dropped crystal coins.  Which he didn't really need.  Considering the amount of crystal coins his father gave him initially.  Not to mention, his income from Yuexing Pavilion.  So, he was really excited for this item.

The item was a black ear cuff.  It looked very ordinary.  The color was just plain black and it didn't have any gems on it.  The only thing that was probably different about it was the glyphs carved on it.  Even that would be unnoticeable if he didn't stare at it intensely.  Also, if Eclipse didn't see it, it might have totally gone unnoticed.   

He put it inside his Items Tab so he could appraise it. 

Null Ring

-          Can negate any status ailments caused by a weapon.  It consumes Mana whenever it's used.  The greater the status ailments, the more Mana it needed.  If the player lacked Mana and it was activated, it could cause a severe backlash. 

Luo Yan read the description and his first thought was, 'isn't this an ear cuff, why call it a ring?'.  Just kidding.  It really didn't matter what it's called.  The important thing was whether it would be useful or not.  And just based on that description, it definitely would.

This Null Ring was most likely the item that helped the Dark Saint earlier to negate the effect of his daggers.  He was just wondering earlier how he could take this item from the other.  Who would have thought that it would directly fell on his lap like this?

He took it out from his Items Tab and gave it to Shen Ji Yun for the other to check.  Shen Ji Yun took it and after checking, he gave it back to Luo Yan.

"You should keep it," he said.

Although Luo Yan was already expecting that the other would give it to him, he still felt happy because of it.  "Is it really okay for me to have it?"

Shen Ji Yun nodded.  "Yes.  It would be much more useful for you."

Luo Yan smiled like a flower.  "Thank you, Brother Ji Yun!"  He was about to put it on his left ear when he thought of something.  He turned to Shen Ji Yun and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Ji Yun, can you put it on me?  I'm afraid I might miss it if I do it myself."

Shen Ji Yun was temporarily surprised by this but he still took the ear cuff that was on Luo Yan's palm.  How could he refuse when his rabbit looking at him like that and asking him in that tone of voice? 

He cleared his throat and put a few strands of Luo Yan's hair behind his ear.  Then, he gently clipped the cuff on the other's auricle.  As he did so, he couldn't help but marvel on how soft it was to the touch.

He readily let go once his thoughts started to go to a completely different direction. 

Luo Yan glanced at Shen Ji Yun and saw the other's ear tip turning red.  Every time he saw it, he couldn't help but want to pinch it.  He even found the other's awkward expression really cute.  He smiled inwardly.  He really had it hard for this adorable cinnamon roll.

"Aww… Mashter and Captain are so sweet.  Eclipse feel like he's going to have diabetes," the little boy said suddenly while holding both his cheeks as if he was very happy eating unnecessary sugar.

Shen Ji Yun only felt shy and a bit happy.  He still really couldn't get used to Eclipse's teasing.  But deep inside, he was cheering and wanted to applaud Eclipse for being so smart.  The little Ji Yun in his heart was jumping and shouting, 'yes, go and tease us more!'.  It's really quite embarrassing to say the least.

Luo Yan only shook his head with a helpless smile.  "Come on, let's go to your village and tell your aunt the good news," he said to Eclipse while gently tapping the little boy's forehead.

Eclipse's attention seemed to be quickly transferred to his aunt the moment he heard what Luo Yan said.  "Yes!  Let's go, Mashter!  Aunt will definitely be happy after hearing the news."

Luo Yan then glanced to the still silent Dusk.  He had a feeling that the other was still immersed on what the Dark Saint said about his father.  "Let's go, Dusk?" he asked.

The other only nodded.

And so, the four of them left Achaeus and teleported to the demon fox's village.

----------

"Is- is it really true?  Is the Dark Saint really gone?" Shirayuki asked with trembling voice.

When they arrived at the village, Luo Yan went with Eclipse to tell Shirayuki about the news.  On the other hand, Shen Ji Yun decided to wait with Dusk outside.   

"It's true Aunt Yuki!  The four of us worked together to defeat that evil mage!  You should have seen how pathetic he looked at the very end.  Oh, right, Eclipse actually saved that memory, does Aunt Yuki want to see it?"

Shirayuki, who was already on the verge of tears, couldn't help but chuckle.  So, it looked like she was crying and laughing at the same time. 

"Yes, let me see it later," she said while looking at his nephew tenderly. 

"Maybe we should let everyone in the village watch it.  Everyone will definitely be happy."

"Okay, let's not get too excited," Luo Yan said before Eclipse decided to show the clip to everyone in Arcadia.

This time, Shirayuki no longer held back her laughter.  It was a very free laughter as if a lot of burden had been lifted from her shoulders.  "I've always dreamt of the day when the Dark Saint dies.  I just didn't expect that I would be laughing like this once that time came."  He looked at Eclipse and stroke the other's head gently.  "Thank you for being such a treasure."

Eclipse only smiled brightly as a reply.
