The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

Chapter 166 - UNEXPECTED HAPPENING



LUO YAN felt like he's in paradise.  In front of him was a long table filled with different kinds of cakes – there's a chocolate matcha pound cake, a raspberry pink velvet cake, a carrot cake, a chiffon cake, an angel food cake, an opera cake, a fruit cake, and many other more.  

When he asked Shen Ji Yun where he wanted to eat, he thought they would be going to some restaurant serving traditional food.  He never expected that Shen Ji Yun would say that they should go to a cake buffet restaurant.  And thus, they were here, lining up in front of a buffet table, holding a tray.

Luo Yan knew that Shen Ji Yun picked this place not because he suddenly had a craving for sweets.  Every time they had VR meals, Shen Ji Yun never ate sweets.  So it's not weird to assume that he picked this place because of him.

He actually wanted to let Shen Ji Yun picked another place when he realized that his choice was solely based on his preference.  But then he saw the cakes and his brain was just filled with them and how they would taste.  He totally forgot what he was supposed to do.  Before he knew it, he was already lining up at the buffet table.

He'd actually been wanting to eat at this cake buffet restaurant for a while now.  But he'd been busy grinding levels, he didn't have the time to go around the city and do some food tripping.  Now that he's here, how could he just miss it?

He filled his tray with one of each kind of his favorite cakes until there were no space left.  He ended up with six slices.  He still felt that it's not enough.  Oh well, he could still come back later for more.  This was a buffet after all.  It would be such a waste if he wouldn't come for seconds.

"I already asked an NPC to give us a private room," Shen Ji Yun said who was just behind Luo Yan.

Luo Yan looked back at him and was about to answer when he saw the one pitiful slice of cake that was on his tray.  "You're only going to get one?"

Shen Ji Yun nodded.  "Yes."

Luo Yan sighed.  [See?  This guy definitely picked this place because of me.]  "Let's just go and eat," he could only say.

An NPC led them to a private room at the second floor.  Luo Yan sat down and put the tray on the table.  Shen Ji Yun did the same.  

Luo Yan excitedly picked the slice of chocolate matcha pound cake and put it in front of him.  He then pulled down the fabric covering the lower half of his face.  He picked the fork and started eating.  The moment the cake entered his mouth, he felt like he just tasted a piece of heaven.

"Oh, right, Brother Ji Yun, I'll buy you another meal.  It won't count unless both of us are enjoying ourselves," he didn't forget to say.  Because in this scenario, it's obvious that he's the only one enjoying himself.

"But I am enjoying myself," Shen Ji Yun said.  And he really was.  Just watching Luo Yan with that look of bliss on his face as he ate his cake was truly a joy.  "Though I won't decline another meal."

"Next time we'll go somewhere you prefer," Luo Yan said finishing the cake he's eating.

The corner of Shen Ji Yun's lips curved in an arc when he heard that.  Even his cold blue eyes softened.  "Okay."

Because Luo Yan was staring at Shen Ji Yun, he saw that slight change in his expression despite the black mask still covering the lower half of his face.  It just made the blue of his eyes pop out even more, making it appear much bluer than it usually was.

"Brother Ji Yun is mixed blood, right?" he suddenly thought of asking.

With that question, he just realized how little he knew about Shen Ji Yun.  The only personal information he knew about him was that he's a 20-year-old student at T University whose uncle was the president and CEO of Moonlight Media.  Oh, and that he currently lived with that uncle.

"Yes, my mother is British."

As he mentioned his mother, Luo Yan noticed the sadness that suddenly lingered in his blue eyes.  Although he's curious why he would have that kind of expression when his mother was mentioned, he'd rather remove it than think of an answer why it appeared.

"Then your mother must be extremely beautiful," he said.

Shen Ji Yun looked at him amusedly.  "Why do you think so?"

"How else could Brother Ji Yun be so handsome?" he answered with a cheeky grin.

Shen Ji Yun was speechless for a second and then he chuckled.  He only stopped when Luo Yan suddenly reached out to him and pulled down the mask covering the lower half of his face.        

"What's that for?" he asked, a bit stunned.

"Revenge for earlier," Luo Yan answered.  "And maybe I also want to see your smile."

That was not a maybe.  He definitely preferred Shen Ji Yun smiling than with sadness on his face.

Shen Ji Yun suddenly felt his face heating up.  He looked away so the rabbit wouldn't see him blushing.  Because right now, he was sure he definitely was.  He cleared his throat and decided to just change the subject.

"Have you input Mana on your beast egg?"

Hearing Shen Ji Yun mentioning that, Luo Yan suddenly remembered that he still hadn't done that.  "No, I actually still haven't."

He took this opportunity to take out the beast incubator from his Items Tab.  He poured his Mana into it.  After he had done that, something unexpected happened.  

The incubator suddenly released a bright light.  When it dissipated, the incubator was gone and only the big white egg was in front of Luo Yan.

[Wait- is my Little Ancestor going to hatch right now?]

But that thought was immediately disproved because instead of cracking, the outer white shell of the egg suddenly started to peel instead.  It slowly started to fall off, one small piece to another, until the white outer layer was gone.  And the only thing left was a pure black egg.
