BXBX NOVEL Chapter 159 LUO YANS MUSINGS
But seriously, in what world did Shen Ji Yun see him as a harmless, cute, fluffy white rabbit? Okay, he could agree with ’cute’, but he would never agree with ’harmless’. Despite him being physically a weak chicken, he could still do damage to others if he wanted to. And Shen Ji Yun had seen his black-bellied side. He didn’t bother to hide it from him. Now that he thought about it, he wondered why? Maybe because he already instinctively considered him as a close friend.
It’s a surprise, really. He never thought of revealing his true self to his three roommates in college. Until their graduation, they never knew the real him. He didn’t mind showing it to Luo Jin because his family. Truthfully, he also wouldn’t mind if his father and older brother found out about it. Because he was sure they would still accept him.
Then what about Shen Ji Yun?
The only reason Luo Yan could think of was because he was comfortable around him. Maybe it’s because of Shen Ji Yun’s awkwardness, the way he couldn’t properly express himself so he could only hide in his cold exterior. Luo Yan could relate to that. Because he also struggled socially in his first life. Until he found a way to fit in. To use everything – his appearance, people’s emotion, the environment – to his advantage.
He just shook his head. So, back to the original question; how did Shen Ju Yun see him as a rabbit? He could understand if it was because of his weird fascination with rabbits. Seeing how he always sent rabbit stickers whenever they exchange messages in WeChat. But if that was the case, then why was the other one a qilin and not a rabbit?
Obviously, the rabbit was him and the qilin was Shen Ji Yun. Then he suddenly remembered what happened when the two of them first met during his older brother’s graduation rights. When Shen Ji Yun left, he pinched his cheek and called him ’silly rabbit’. So, did that mean that his first impression of him was that of a ’silly rabbit’ and somehow, even after knowing the real him, it somewhat stayed?
Luo Yan grimaced a little. Although he did act like some silly sweet when they first met, he didn’t expect that the impression he left was so deep that even until now Shen Ji Yun still saw him as that silly sweet rabbit. He didn’t know what to feel after he came up with that conclusion.
Maybe he should ask him about that.
He then appeared inside Yunyue’s headquarters. Instead of going straight to the main hall, he walked out the palace and sat down near the edge of a cliff overlooking the view down the mountain where the headquarters was located. In front of him was the view of a lush green forest.
This was really a good location for a palace like this to be built. In a real estate term, this would be considered a prime location. Did Shen Ji Yun got this because of his identity as the nephew of the president of Moonlight Media? No. That guy was not the type to use his identity to get what he wanted in this game. If it was, then rumors about Yunyue being fallen warriors wouldn’t circulate like that for years. No one probably knew the player YUN’s real identity. Who would want to badmouth the team of the nephew of Moonlight Media’s president? He probably got this location through sheer hard work.
Speaking of location, he still hadn’t decided where to put the Yuexing Pavilion he got as one of the rewards for perfectly clearing the blue door. He hadn’t canvas any location yet. Because after his exam, he grinded levels like some maniac. He spent most of his time in the game trying to level up. Because he knew he wouldn’t have that much time once school started.
Now he’s currently at level 68. He could now enter the third city of Arcadia – Goldcrest. Only players level 61 and above could go there. The first thing he did once he entered the city was buy a new costume that would suit the [Lunam Robe] Shen Ji Yun gave him. It was easy since there were a lot more shop in Goldcrest City.
He had a whole lot of selection. At the end, he bought the [Dark Moon] set. Which was pretty apt for him, if he must say so himself.
He was now wearing a thin, dark purple longtail coat - which almost looked black because of how dark it was – over a black fitted high-necked shirt that almost felt like a second skin. The rib of the shirt could be pulled upward so that it could cover the lower half of his face. Luo Yan found that very convenient. Especially when he didn’t want to be ogled at by other players when he was grinding levels.
The coat he’s wearing was held on together by a wide belt that help showcased his slim waist. The belt had a purple gem at the middle which had a crescent moon symbol. He had black arm guards that had crescent moons etched on them. His slightly loose black trousers were paired with knee-high boots that also had a crescent moon symbol. He finished it all off by wearing the silvery white [Lunam Robe].
He must say that the final image was truly a sight to look at. Of course Luo Yan wouldn’t wear something that would look bad on him. He was just glad that there’s a setting in the costume set-up that allowed the player to set-up the temperature of the clothes they’re wearing. Arcadia followed the seasons of the real world. If it was Summer, he’d definitely be toasted by how many layers he’s wearing right now.
Then Luo Yan suddenly remembered his Little Ancestor. He probably should do his daily input of Mana. He took the egg that was still inside the beast incubator from his Items Tab and started inputting Mana on it. After he’s done, he checked the egg’s status.
Unknown Egg
-Status of Hatching: 91%
-Current Health Meter: Extremely Healthy
-Current Mood Meter: Satisfied
He looked at the status of hatching – 91%. At this rate, this egg would hatch by next week. He raised the incubator and stared at the egg inside. [Just a few more days and I will finally see you, Little Ancestor.]
"Yan Yan," suddenly called by a very familiar voice, cutting off Luo Yan’s musings.
Luo Yan excitedly looked back. He didn’t even notice the bright smile that crossed his face.
"Brother Ji Yun."
