The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]-Chapter 889: A CHANGE IN DYNAMICS
Chapter 889: A CHANGE IN DYNAMICS
AFTER tearing the special teleportation scroll, Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun were quickly transferred to team Celestia’s headquarters. The floating island with a building that was a reminisce of a Greek pantheon was still as impressive as Luo Yan remembered.
“Have you been here before, Brother Ji Yun?” he asked.
“No. I don’t really interact with other teams.”

“That’s a very Brother Ji Yun-like answer.”
“Is- is it bad?” Shen Ji Yun suddenly asked worriedly. “That I am this way?”
Luo Yan chuckled and then looked at the other with fondness. “Of course not. It’s part of who you are. Why would I think it’s bad when it’s one of the reason why I fell for you?”
Shen Ji Yun blushed up to his ears. It’s obvious how much he liked that answer because happiness started radiating from him.
“You’re here,” suddenly said by a very familiar voice in front of them. “Very prompt.”
Luo Yan turned his gaze forward and saw a man with golden brown hair and a pair of light blue eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses. It was Uriel, the sly fox that who was the reason why he and Shen Ji Yun were here today.
“It’s very nice of you to come, Captain YUN,” Uriel said to Shen Ji Yun. “Although there’s really no need for you to accompany Noctis. I mean, he’s not a child who couldn’t do anything by himself.”
Shen Ji Yun didn’t respond and just gave the other a cold glance.
“Hey, that’s discrimination against children, you know? Do you think there are no independent children in this world?” Luo Yan said indignantly. “Besides, my captain is only worried that you might scam me into doing something extreme that’s why he accompanied me.”
Uriel chuckled. “You’re still as entertaining as ever.”
“So, what will you have me do?” Luo Yan asked, changing the topic, referring to that favor he owed the other.
“Let’s go inside and talk about it.”
After saying that, Uriel turned around and walked towards the building. Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun followed behind. As they walked, they passed by a number of players, all having different shades of golden hair and wearing white robe, suits, or togas. They all greeted Uriel with respect while giving him and Shen Ji Yun a curious glance.
They continued to walk until Uriel stopped in front of a mahogany door. The other opened it and gestured for them to come in. Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun followed inside. The inside appeared to be an office. And there, sitting on a couch was a young woman.
She had long flowing golden hair and a pair of sky blue eyes surrounded by long golden lashes. Her skin was like porcelain glistening with the light inside the room. With her white toga dress, she seemed to be the reincarnation of Aphrodite herself.
Luo Yan immediately knew who the other was. Song Liuli – someone who was considered by many as the top goddess in the game because of her beauty. He had only seen her pictures online, both the in-game one and how she looked like in real life.
The two didn’t have much difference. Except for the color of hair and eyes, she looked exactly the same. Which meant that she didn’t enhance her features when she made her avatar. She was simply that pretty in real life.
[Not as pretty as me though.] – the ever self-loving Luo Yan said to himself.
He glanced at Shen Ji Yun, the other didn’t have any expression on his face even after seeing Song Liuli. See, even Shen Ji Yun must have the same opinion as him.
Song Liuli stood up and gave them a gentle smile. “It’s nice to finally meet the champion of this year’s Rookie Carnival. You’re really as beautiful as the rumor says.”
Luo Yan smiled back. “Not as beautiful as the one considered by many as goddess.”
The two exchanged smiles and pleasantries but anyone with discerning eyes could see that they were measuring each other from head to toe.
Duan Yu, of course, could see it. He only chuckled at their almost childish antic. But seeing the two standing close together like this, it was definitely a visual explosion that many audience would like. He was even more convinced that his decision was not wrong.
Shen Ji Yun, on the other hand, was not as discerning as Duan Yu. When he heard Luo Yan complimenting that woman so naturally, his brows furrowed and his heart felt sour. Before he could think properly, he already stood in front of Luo Yan.
Song Liuli misunderstood this and thought that YUN was actually trying to get her attention. Although she had never imagined that the other was actually such a person, how else could she explain his action?
She was about to greet the other when YUN turned to Duan Yu and asked in a frigid voice that was probably much colder than North Pole;
“Does she really need to be here?”
Song Liuli suddenly felt like a vein on her forehead just popped. Such blatant disregard, this was probably the first time she experienced this. But it was a good thing that her self-confidence was already at its very peak that nothing could probably shake it by now. Well, except Duan Yu. But that would never happen. So…
Luo Yan looked at Shen Ji Yun and secretly smiled. The vinegar jar in this guy’s heart was probably toppled over because of him giving compliments to Song Liuli. He pulled the other’s sleeve and whispered to him;
“Don’t worry, Brother Ji Yun. I won’t be tempted by her. How could I be when I already have you?”
Duan Yu noticed how the cold atmosphere around YUN quickly dissipated after Noctis whispered something to him. Like a frozen flower that was now blooming in Spring. He looked between YUN and Noctis.
He had witnessed the dynamics between the two when they went to that dungeon during the King’s birthday festival. But why did he have a feeling that that dynamic greatly changed in the span that he hadn’t seen the two together?
