The Return Of The God Level Assassin

ECLIPSE suddenly walked towards Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun, pulling the two to where Dusk and Shirayuki were standing. "Let’s all huddle and show our family spirit!"

Luo Yan raised one of his brows in amusement. "So, we’re also part of the family?"

Eclipse turned to him and looked as if he just said something stupid. "Of course, Mashter! This handsome dragon is Eclipse’s Uncle, this pretty kitsune is Eclipse’s aunt, and you and Captain are Eclipse’s second parents!" He then put his hands on his cheeks, acting like a flower. "Doesn’t Eclipse look like Mashter and Captain’s child?"

Luo Yan laughed and turned to Shen Ji Yun whose face had already became as red as a ripe tomato. "What do you think Brother Ji Yun? Does Eclipse really look like our child?"

Although Shen Ji Yun knew that this was just Eclipse’s usual antics and Luo Yan’s usual teasing, his heart still couldn’t help but skip a beat. His face was so hot that it felt like steam would come out at the top of his head any second now. And in his mind, all he could think of was; [Yan Yan and I have a child! Does that mean we’re already married?]

So, in his frenzied state, he just blurted out, "Yes."

This was so unexpected for Luo Yan that even he blushed. He looked at Shen Ji Yun who seemed like he was in la la land or something. Somehow, he already kind of had an idea what the other was thinking.

It was definitely along the lines of ’waaa... Yan Yan said we have a child!’ or ’isn’t this equivalent to Yan Yan admitting that we’re a couple?’. He might be wrong but he had a strong feeling that he probably wasn’t.

Because of that, Luo Yan’s embarrassment finally subsided. He looked at Shen Ji Yun, his eyes almost overflowing with his current feelings. Too bad, the other was too busy imagining things that he missed it.

[Ah, really, how could someone be so adorable?]

Then, Eclipse spoke, "See? Even Captain agrees."

"Oh my, I didn’t know that the both of you are a couple," Shirayuki proceeded on commenting, looking very surprised.

"Yes, they only had to get married and it would be official," Eclipse said in a proud tone. As if he was the president of their fan club or something.

Shirayuki smiled. "Then, please, don’t forget to invite me."

"Aunt Yuki, of course, you’ll be invited." Eclipse raised his head towards Luo Yan. "Right, Mashter?"

Luo Yan didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. This conversation was escalating too fast. Maybe in just a minute, they would talk about him and Shen Ji Yun having babies. He gazed down at Eclipse and pinched the other’s cheek. It was all this little guy’s fault.

"Let’s just go and huddle," he said, changing the subject.

If they kept on talking about this, he glanced secretly at Shen Ji Yun whose face was even redder and whose eyes looked like they would turn into spinning spirals at any second, the other might just turn into a pool of mess. With his brain not functioning properly for a couple of minutes.

And Luo Yan was right.

Right now, Shen Ji Yun’s brain was on overdrive. He couldn’t think properly and all the word ’marriage’ just kept on echoing inside his head. Because of that, it created a lot of images in his mind. All of which were related to weddings.

Like the wedding and reception venue, the wedding suits they should wear, the food that should be served, and the guests that should be invited. It even went as far as choosing the perfect place for their honeymoon.

This ’delusion’ only stopped when he was pulled by Eclipse to huddle with everyone. After a few seconds of that, he finally managed to calm himself.

Now that his brain was back to functioning normally, he suddenly realized just how embarrassing his thoughts were. If he could, he really wanted to facepalm right now. Just how could he go from point A to point Z, skipping everything in between, after only hearing talks about ’their child’, ’being a couple’, and ’wedding’.

How shameful. If he didn’t know any better, he might have suspected that he had already gone mad. Or maybe he already was. Just madly in love.

Shen Ji Yun took a deep breath and made sure that he was at least acting like a normal human.

"I’m going to prepare lunch," Shirayuki said. "You should all stay and have lunch here."

"I’ll help you," Luo Yan said, maybe without him around, it would help Shen Ji Yun to calm down. He turned to Eclipse. "Come on, you’re also helping," he added.

So, he could make sure that this little guy wouldn’t go off and say things that might rile up Shen Ji Yun. Which Eclipse would definitely do, no doubt.

Before the little boy could complain, Luo Yan had already pulled him to follow Shirayuki.

And so, the only ones left outside was Shen Ji Yun and Dusk.

"It’s good that your face no longer looks like a cooked shrimp," Dusk commented after a while.

Shen Ji Yun glanced at the other, his face already back to being expressionless. "I refuse to comment on that."

He’s still feeling embarrassed though, being seen like that by the others. He wondered what Luo Yan was thinking then. Or maybe his rabbit didn’t mind at all because he was already used to his idiotic antics.

"Then, let me change the subject," Dusk blatantly said. "Let’s have the same contract as what the moon elf and Eclipse have."

Hearing that, Shen Ji Yun’s mind suddenly cleared up. He turned to the black dragon, a little bit unbelieving. "Are you certain of that decision?"

It was because of the natural characteristic of dragons. They’re a prideful bunch. Visiting the valley of dragons and interacting with them only proved that.

Although he was already planning to talk to Dusk about having a master-pet contract with him, he was already expecting for the other to decline. He was actually preparing a speech so he could convince him. But who would have thought that the dragon would actually take the initiative regarding this matter?

He could just readily agree. But he didn’t want that. He wanted to make sure first that Dusk was doing this on his own initiative.

"Yes," Dusk answered without any hesitation. "Considering how you and the moon elf are always together. Doing this would be the best way to ensure that I could remain close to Eclipse as much as possible." He looked at Shen Ji Yun and raised one of his brows in a playful manner that was not so like him. "Surely, you wouldn’t reject such a good proposal?"

Of course, Shen Ji Yun wouldn’t. Aside from the fact that this was what Luo Yan wanted to happen since day one, he also personally felt that it would be good if Dusk became a permanent member of their team. And seeing as how the other was very determined, there’s really no reason for him to reject this offer.

So, the two finally formed a contract. And Dusk officially became a member of Team Yunyue.
