Chapter 173 - PLAYERS (ON THE PLAZA) REACTION (2/2)
”That makes sense.”
Luo Yan was a bit creeped out when he heard all that. After all the 'NPC' they were talking about was him. He was actually contemplating whether he should show at the video or not. He truly didn't want to dance again. But because all of his employees were NPCs, none of them could show the 'mystery' that he wanted. So in the end, he had no choice but to step up.
He used that healing dance he swore he would never use. But that's the extent of it. He made sure that his appearance in video would be as short as possible. The design of the robe he wore was gender fluid. Because he didn't want to wear something so glaringly feminine. He also had to apply temporary black dye to his hair. Because his avatar's white hair was just simply too eye-catching. Of course, he also had to cover most of his face.
But based on the conversation he just heard, it seemed like that didn't really do much at all. Even if he only appeared for like 20 seconds and with half of his face covered up, his presence was still the most striking. He sighed. Sometimes, his beauty could be really troublesome.
”It's going to be launched on 21st this month, right?”
Luo Yan heard that question from one of the group of male players talking earlier.
”Are we going to the opening?”
”Of course we're going! I have to be the first customer of that black-haired elf,” the guy who had been making dirty jokes and had been showing the most interest towards the elf said.
”You're really digging that NPC, huh?”
”I kind of understand him. If you see a beautiful girl covering her face, you just have the urge to remove it.”
”What veil? I'd rather remove her clothes,” that one guy said again, his tone full of perverted insinuation.
Luo Yan felt like a vein in his forehead just popped when he heard that. He was about to say something to shut the guy up, but the said guy spoke again.
”I couldn't wait to fondle all that soft skin under that complicated robe—”
The guy wasn't able to finish what he's saying because a broad sword was suddenly pointed at the side of his neck. Based on the guy's stiff body and wide eyes, he was obviously shocked.
Even Luo Yan was surprised. Because the person who pointed the person was none other than Shen Ji Yun. He didn't notice when he stood up from his chair. Heck, he didn't even see him move at all!
”W-what the hell are you doing?” the guy seemed to finally regain the use of his tongue and shouted. He actually wanted to say more. But the dark expression of the man in front of him, as well as the coldness in his eyes, prevented him from doing that. He couldn't even move. Because if he did, he had no doubt that the sword would cut his neck!
”I'm challenging you to the Arena,” Shen Ji Yun said with almost no emotion in his voice. But anyone who heard him would definitely feel a semblance of fear. ”Either agree or die here now.”
