The Return Of The God Level Assassin

LUO YAN lifted up the small black fox. The feel of its fur was so soft that he had to resist the strong urge to squeeze it. He lifted it up until both of their eyes were in the same level.

[Did you just speak?] – he asked inside his mind, because he was sure that this fox just spoke to him the same way. If ever he was right and he spoke to it in a normal way, then that would only look like he was having a one-sided conversation. Which he didn’t want to show to anyone.

[Yesh, Mashter.]

[How can you communicate this way?]

[Becaushe Mashter and I have a connection.]

Luo Yan frowned a little. Not because of what it said, no, he could accept that connection. Since, technically, in this virtual world, both of them were just made up of codes and data. Thus it wouldn’t be that hard to have them be able to communicate through their minds. What’s bothering him was its way of speaking. He wasn’t sure if it’s just acting all cute or if it’s just its natural way of speaking.

[How come you have a lisp?] – he couldn’t help asking.

[Becaushe I’m shtill a baby.]

Well, that kind of made sense. [Does that mean it will disappear once you grow?]

[Of coursh! Not only that, I’ll be powerful enough to protect you, Mashter.]

It said, puffing up its chest in a proud way. The corner of Luo Yan’s lips twitched a little when he saw that little action. How come this little thing act so life like? But he guessed that’s better than it being like just an ordinary pet.

[Are all pets like you, being able to communicate with their master through their minds?] – he couldn’t help but ask.

The little thing in his hands seemed affronted by that question. [Mashter how could you think that? Of coursh not everyone ish like me! Only powerful beasts have this ability.]

[So does that mean you’re powerful?]

[Of coursh I am. It’s because Mashter fed me with so much Mana that I wash able to mutate from being just an ordinary fox demon spirit.]

A fox demon spirit? [Then wouldn’t that mean you’re originally just an ordinary beast?]

The fox demon blinked it big sapphire blue eyes at him. Then it became watery and were suddenly filled with grievance. [Ish Mashter hating on me? Are you going to abandon me? How could you, after all the tymshs we spent together?]

The corner of Luo Yan’s eyes twitched. Was this little thing trying to guilt trip him? He couldn’t help but feel that this little fox might be as black-belly as he was. Could it be, because of his Mana, he transferred some of his traits to this fox?

[Okay, stop with the drama. As you said, I spent a lot of Mana on you. How could I just abandon you?]

The little fox gave him a toothy grin. [I knew it. Mashter is still the besh for me.]

"Yan Yan, is everything okay?" Shen Ji Yun suddenly asked, cutting off the conversation between Luo Yan and the fox.

Luo Jin sharply turned towards Shen Ji Yun when he heard what the other called his second brother. Just when did this expressionless jerk start to call Luo Yan that?

Luo Yan hugged the fox to himself. "Yes, the both of us were just having a conversation."

"Whoa. You could communicate with each other?" Bai Ze said in amazement. "Can I hug it too? I also want to try talking to it?"

The fox suddenly drilled itself into Luo Yan’s arms. [Mashter, I don’t want to be held by that big lion. But...] It glanced at Shen Ji Yun. [I don’t mind if itsh the other big brother with blue eyesh.]

So this little thing also knew how to discriminate. [How come?]

[Becaushe he’s handshome. We would look good together becaushe I’m sho cute.]

Luo Yan coughed a bit so he could prevent himself from laughing. So, it’s because this fox was a face control.

[Look, look, Mashter, he’sh shtaring at me!] The little fox burrowed its head on his chest. [He probably thinksh I’m so adorable and want me to be hish own pet.]

Finally, Luo Yan couldn’t help letting out a small laugh. He petted its head. [Okay, don’t make trouble.]

He raised his head and saw that Shen Ji Yun was really looking at the fox. He’s probably thinking right now how this fox suited him. After all, he once told him that he’s a fox in a rabbit’s clothing.

He then turned to his cousin and looked apologetic. "I’m sorry, Brother Ze. It’s a bit shy and I think I’m the only one who could communicate with it."

[Mashter, thatsh not what I shaid!]

[Yes, yes, I know.] – he said to the fox, a but perfunctorily.

Bai Ze appeared disappointed for a second. But he immediately regained his energy and said, "That’s okay."

And now, seeing the cute little fox, he’s even more determined to find himself his own pet.

"What kind of fox is it?" Su Yuqi asked.

"I think you should make a contract with it. So you could view its information," Shen Ji Yun suggested.

[The handshome brother ish right, Mashter. We should immediately form a contract. What will you do if shomeone tried to take me from you by forsh?]

Luo Yan looked down at the fox he’s holding. [How do we form a contract?]

[Shince Mashter didn’t defeat me and got me as an egg, we have to do something more fomal.]

Luo Yan suddenly remembered what happened when he fought that ugly tree in his Origin Village. When it was on its last blood, an option appeared where he could train the tree as his pet. He guessed that if he agreed back then, then he and that tree would automatically form a contract. But since, the situation was different with this little fox, the way to form a contract would also be different.

[Which is?] – he asked.

[It’s very shimple, Mashter. You jush have to input Mana on this orb above on my forehead.]

He looked at the orb and touched it. [What is this anyway?]

[Itsh a shign that I’m shpecial.] – the fox said quite proudly.

Luo Yan shook his head helplessly and just input his Mana on the dark blue orb. It shone and then a black complicated symbol suddenly appeared below him. After that, a notification screen appeared in front of Luo Yan.

[Do you want to form a contract with the demon fox spirit you are holding?]

Of course he didn’t hesitate to click ’yes’.

The complicated symbol shone brighter until it completely disappeared. Then another screen popped up in front of Luo Yan.

[Congratulations, dear player on getting your very own pet! Please, go and check your Status Window to see some relevant information about it.]

He then proceeded on opening his Status Window. He immediately noticed the new tab – Pet Status. He didn’t hesitate to click on it.

Void Kitsune

- One of the strongest variation of the fox demon spirit family. With the power of the void, it could cause blights, drain life, summon creatures from the darkness, slip into shadows to vanish, and drain light from areas. Of course its abilities all depended on the number of tails it has.

- A kitsune could have as much as nine tails. The more tails it possessed, the more powerful it is. One could increase the number of its tails by either levelling it up or making it ingest a lot of Mana.

Current Level: 1

Type: SSR

Luo Yan read everything carefully. A void kitsune, huh? That’s the first time he heard about that. But looking at the list of abilities it could have, this fox was definitely perfect for him. Then he glanced at the ’SSR’. Could this mean super super rare?

He ignored that for now and looked once again at the fox. [You’re really amazing, huh?]

The little fox puffed his chest again in a proud manner. [Of coursh I am. But Mashter, you should at leash name me. I don’t want to continue being namelessh.]

[Are you a boy or a girl?]

[I’m a boy like Mashter.]

He raised the fox and announced, "Then from today on, you will be known as Eclipse!"
