Chapter 640 - WREAK HAVOC
Chapter 640 – WREAK HAVOC
LUO YAN opened his eyes and what he first saw was the wide blue ocean. He was back at the deck of the small ship the moment he logged in.
Before logging into the game, he told his father and brothers that they could have a movie night later and that he would make the popcorn himself. It's to make up for not being able to agree to his father's suggestion of going to a family outing.
When his father praised Shen Ji Yun for helping him in doing this task, he actually saw the reactions of his brothers. Even though the two didn't speak, he could immediately tell what they were thinking. They were definitely badmouthing Shen Ji Yun in their minds.
He was suddenly glad that he had that talk with the two before. At least, because of the promise they made, no matter how much they were dissatisfied with Shen Ji Yun, they wouldn't outrightly say it. Especially in front of their father.
But now, he was starting to worry about his father's reaction once, you know, he and Shen Ji Yun confirmed their relationship.. His father seemed to really think of Shen Ji Yun as a good and kind boy. Which he was, mind you. It's just that, based on his father's protectiveness of him, that good impression would definitely end up in the gutter.
As he thought, he really should do some early 'vaccination' for his father. That way, the other's anger towards Shen Ji Yun wouldn't be that big. Fingers-crossed, that would really be the case.
Luo Yan's train of thought was suddenly interrupted when he felt someone hugging his arm. He looked down and saw Eclipse smiling at him.
"You're here, Mashter. Eclipse and Captain have been waiting for you."
Luo Yan was a bit surprised that Shen Ji Yun was already here. "Where's our Captain?"
"He's inside. Eclipse is going to call him."
Before he could react, the little boy had already run inside. Luo Yan could only helplessly shake his head. It didn't take long before Eclipse came back with Shen Ji Yun.
"Sorry, I was unable to call you beforehand. I kind of automatically fell asleep the moment I hit the bed," he apologized when the two walked to where he was standing. "Brother Ji Yun was right. I was already feeling tired without noticing it."
A small smile appeared on Shen Ji Yun's lips. "It's okay. I'm just glad that you had a good rest."
"Aww… Captain is so thoughtful. You must really care about my Mashter," Eclipse said with hands on both cheeks while looking at Shen Ji Yun with stars in his eyes.
The small arc on the corner of Shen Ji Yun's lips disappeared and his cheeks suddenly felt a bit warm. Although it's been a week already since Eclipse was finally able to transform to his humanoid form, he still couldn't get used to this constant teasing. Especially when it was mostly about his relationship with Luo Yan.
Last night, when he logged back into the game and saw Eclipse alone on the deck, he thought of asking the other about something. Their conversation went like this;
"Ahm, Eclipse can I ask you something?"
"What is it Captain? You can ask Eclipse anything. Eclipse will definitely answer you as best as he could!"
"You- do you always tease your master about, ahm, our relationship? You know, just like what you did earlier?"
"Hmm… does Captain mean when Eclipse said that you're like a married couple?"
"Y-yes, that one."
"Eclipse does. But Eclipse was not teasing Mashter though. Eclipse is only saying the truth."
After hearing that answer, Shen Ji Yun only had one thought in his mind – that Luo Yan didn't mind being paired up with him. If so, didn't that mean that he might have a high chance of succeeding if he confessed? But then, his negative side quickly took over and broke his fantasy.
What if Luo Yan was just so used to Eclipse's ramblings that he no longer took it to heart? He had a feeling that that might be most likely the case. So, he shouldn't feel complacent. He should still do his best and strive to gain the other's love.
But the fact that Luo Yan didn't become angry when Eclipse talked about marriage between them, it still felt nice. Like his heart just turned into a soft cotton and a light feather was tickling it.
Seeing that Shen Ji Yun wasn't too embarrassed by what Eclipse said and only showed a slight blush, Luo Yan actively changed the topic and asked, "How did it go last night?"
Shen Ji Yun was blank for a second. Because he thought Luo Yan was asking about his conversation with Eclipse. Good thing that the gears in his brain worked fast and he understood what the other was asking.
"It went well. We managed to plant all the Mana bombs on the marked places on the map," he answered. "We only need to activate it once we recovered the body."
"Eclipse has a question! Whose body are we retrieving exactly?" the little boy asked in curiosity.
Before Luo Yan could think of whether to tell the truth to Eclipse, another voice suddenly spoke;
"I also want to know the answer to that."
Luo Yan turned to the source and saw Dusk, who just jumped to the deck from out of nowhere. He smiled and said very naturally, "Someone unimportant. We made a deal with him in exchange for all the information he had on Achaeus. You don't have to worry about him."
Dusk only stared at him deeply, as if observing if he was telling the truth or not. But at the end, he still didn't say anything.
Luo Yan raised one of his brows because of such a reaction. It seemed like after that incident yesterday, the other's temperament a 180. This was the same temperament he had from the memories that Lhoris had shown them. Did that mean that his memories were close to returning? Or maybe the mental shock he received yesterday was just that severe.
But surprisingly enough, he looked much more stable in comparison to before.
He no longer worried about that and said to the three, "Shall we go and wreak havoc on those dark mages' island?"
