The Return of the God Level Assassin

Chapter 444 absolutely cute

"BROTHER!"

Hearing that call, Luo Ren turned towards the direction of where the voice was coming from. Then he saw a white-haired elf running towards him.

The other was wearing a silvery-white robe over a black costume that almost looked like some kind of ninja outfit. But it didn’t appear tacky at all. In fact, it suited the white-haired elf quite well. As if it was a crime if he were to wear an ordinary outfit. He was a great beauty. But even so, no one would doubt that he was a young man. He simply had that kind of face that could easily transcend genders.

But the thing that caught people’s attention most was his pair of blue eyes dusted in gold. Long white eyelashes surrounded his eyes. Their shape was like blooming peach blossoms. Wait- peach blossom?

Luo Ren stared at the white-haired elf and was stunned to notice that he looked very similar to someone.

His deceased mother.

Suddenly, he felt like he was suddenly thrown back into time. The time when his mother was still alive. Being the oldest of their brothers, his memories of their mother were the clearest. Even if he closed his eyes, he could still remember her smiling face. The way she frowns, what she looked like when she’s sad or when she’s happy, just everything.

And his mother’s face just now overlapped with this white-haired elf’s.

Luo Yan finally arrived in front of Luo Ren. And he just now only realized that his older brother was looking at him in a daze. If he was not mistaken, he could even see a faint sadness in his eyes.

He raised his hand and waved it in front of his brother’s face. "Brother?"

Hearing the familiar call, that’s when Luo Ren finally realized that the one in front of him was not his mother or someone else.

"Yan Yan?"

"Did Brother not recognize me?" Luo Yan asked in a joking tone.

Luo Ren cleared his emotions. He didn’t want Luo Yan to be affected by the melancholy that suddenly suffocated him. After calming himself, he smiled the best way he could.

"A little bit. It’s because Yan Yan is so pretty."

Which was true. Now that he looked at Luo Yan properly, if he now turned his hair and eye color to the original black, this was probably how his brother would have looked like if he didn’t suffer from a coma for seven years.

Now, he was kind of thankful that Luo Yan didn’t immediately turned into this look. Because if he did, then there’s probably already more than a dozen bees and butterflies swarming around him right now.

As evidence, even now that Luo Yan still looked a bit childish, there’s already an annoying wolf-dog that’s trying to surround him. What more if he looked like this in reality?

Luo Yan, on the other hand, felt the underlying emotion that Luo Ren was trying to hide behind his smile. Even if he didn’t ask, he already had a guess on what triggered it.

There’s no doubt that it was because of his game avatar.

It’s not a secret that he looked similar to their deceased mother. It’s probably not that noticeable in reality because of his still immature face and figure. But in this game avatar, it showed the mature version of himself or what he would look like the moment he passed his growth phase. And the similarities between his appearance and their mother was even more highlighted.

But since Luo Ren seemed to not want to give him unnecessary worry, Luo Yan chose not to delve into it more.

"Have you been waiting long?" he just chose to ask.

"No, I also just got here."

Then Luo Ren’s gaze landed on the little black fox lying on his brother’s shoulder. Three fluffy tails were swishing behind its back and he was looking at him curiously. Yes, he really could find a trace of cleverness in those blue eyes. As if the little fox could understand everything that’s happening around it.

He stared at the little fox for a few seconds more. The little fox suddenly covered his face with his front paws. Almost as if he was feeling shy after being stared at for so long.

He raised one of his brows. Does this fox have some sort of awareness? Then he remembered the – what do you call them? – ah, NPCs, that he interacted so far. Almost all of them seemed very spiritual.

This game was truly an amazing feat in human technology. Everything in this holographic world felt very real. It perfectly engaged a person’s five senses. Making them feel like everything they were experiencing was real. Not only that, the design of the game itself – from the sceneries to the NPCs and to the plants and other beasts were all magical.

It was no exaggeration to say that entering the game almost felt like going into a different world. Who in their life did not dream of once going to an adventure to another world? It’s especially true for the younger generations who were filled with great imaginations.

It’s no wonder this game was so loved by many. He was now certain that investing in the company that made this game wouldn’t be a loss at all. In fact, they would probably gain a lot from it.

[Mashter, your brother is staring at Eclipse! Does he think Eclipse is the cutest fox in the world?]

Luo Yan looked at his older brother who was indeed staring at Eclipse. But he could also see that the other was definitely thinking about something and he just happened to look at the direction of Eclipse.

[Do you want me to ask him?]

The little fox nodded shyly.

"Brother, my pet is asking if you think he’s cute," he told his brother.

Luo Ren was a bit startled by the question. If his brother was talking about a pet, then it could only be the little fox on his shoulder. "Can you communicate with this fox?"

Luo Yan nodded. "Because we’re bound with a contract, the two of us could speak with each other through our minds."

How fascinating. That was the first thought in Luo Ren’s mind. He remembered that he still hadn’t answered his brother’s question. So, he bent down and only stopped when his eyes and the fox’s eyes were on the same level.

"Yes, I think you’re absolutely cute."
