Chapter 486 - POINT OF NO RETURN (1/2)

JUST as Luo Yan had guessed, a certain someone's vinegar jar really did almost turn over.

Shen Ji Yun didn't have any reaction when Luo Yan and that dragon started fighting.  He was simply admiring his rabbit's great battle sense.  But after the Duke of Hearts announced that the fight at the Winter area was over, the crease on his forehead just became deeper and deeper.

First it was that flying heart.  What was that about?  It's almost like giving a flying kiss or something.  Shouldn't that be considered as harassment?  What was the game devs thinking?  Maybe he should talk to Brother Zhao so he could modify that shameless duke.

Then right after, that annoying dragon started acting weird around Luo Yan.  He couldn't understand the other's action.  It didn't help that Su Yuqi said something at that moment that made him frown even further.

= a few minutes ago =

”Why was he acting like that?” Bai Ze asked, curious as to why this calm and collected dude was suddenly being such an awkward mess.

”Maybe because he's awestruck by Luo Yan's beauty,” Su Yuqi said in that indifferent tone of hers.  But the next thing she said had a tinge of playfulness.  ”Wouldn't it be interesting if he turned out to have a secret crush on Luo Yan?”

Four pairs of eyes turned to her direction, each with varying degrees of emotions.

Yu Jiao had a complicated gaze while Bai Ze looked shocked, as if he couldn't believe that that would truly be the case.  Surprisingly enough, Luo Ren and Shen Ji Yun both looked at her coldly.  Su Yuqi found that quite amusing.

”Please refrain from saying confusing things involving my brother,” Luo Ren said, his voice icy.

Su Yuqi wasn't really affected by that and just leaned back comfortably on his chair.  ”Of course.  You must know I'm only joking.  But even if what I said turned out to be the truth, I don't see anything wrong with that.  Or does this elder brother think that Luo Yan doesn't deserve to be admired, males or females otherwise?”

Luo Ren narrowed his eyes at the pink-haired little girl with fluttering butterfly wings behind her back.  She looked like some harmless fairy.  But even with that outer appearance, he could feel that at this moment that could hardly applied to her.  Especially with that sly glint in her eyes.

That look certainly matched his real appearance.  But with her current game avatar, it just made her look scarier.  Because a child would never have such an expression.

[Xiao Jin, ah, you sure do know how to pick them.] – he could only think at that moment.

But he didn't back down and just continued staring coldly at the girl.  Su Yuqi did the same.

The ones who felt uncomfortable by this sudden situation were Bai Ze and Yu Jiao.  Whom both quickly tried to smoothen out the situation.

”Brother Ren, Su Yuqi didn't mean anything by that.  She simply has a very, very, sharp tongue.  Offending people is kind of a habit of hers,” Bai Ze said.

Su Yuqi glanced sideways at Bai Ze.  ”Oh, really?  I'd rather think I'm just honest.  If you're offended by my honesty, then that could only mean that you're guilty in some way or the other.”

”Su Yuqi-!”

”What?  I'm not referring to your cousin.”  Su Yuqi smirked at Bai Ze.  ”I'm talking about you.  Since you so often get 'offended' by what I said.”
