Chapter 340 - ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL
LUO YAN stared at the beautiful beast in front of him and couldn't stop his feet from moving forward. All he could think of was touching and looking at this mythical beast up close.
Shen Ji Yun suddenly felt nervous when he saw Luo Yan walking towards him. He never had an opinion about his beast form before. Because he never used it unless he the situation really called for it. But when he thought of showing this form to Luo Yan earlier when they were thinking of how to go to the Garden of Eden, he suddenly became aware of how unsightly this form was.
It would have been fine if he looked like a purple unicorn. At least, based on most people's aesthetic, unicorns looked good. But no, he really had to be a huge purple mix of a horse and a dragon with matching two horns. The body was that of a horse's body while the head was that of a dragon's, it even had two thin, long mustaches on both sides of its snout. How could that image possibly be attractive?
That's why Shen Ji Yun had been hesitating to show it to Luo Yan. What if his rabbit was turned off once he saw this form? Then the image of this form would be embedded in his brain. So, every time they met, he would think of this form and then turned away from him because he would remember how ugly it was.
Now that he was suddenly aware of how unattractive his avatar's beast form was, he suddenly envied those players from another Legendary race. Like a dragon or a phoenix. Those would probably look cooler in Luo Yan's eyes.
Luo Yan stood beside Shen Ji Yun's beast form. His hands were itching to touch his scales and mane but this form was just so huge. He wasn't even as tall as one of his legs!
[Mashter, Captain looks so cool!] – Eclipse exclaimed. His neck almost looked like it would break because of how much he was looking up. [Eclipse also wants to be as big!]
[I'm sure you would.] – Luo Yan said, pretending that he didn't remember that Eclipse already told him that he could only be as big as a grown horse once he grew all nine tails.
His hands were still itching. Then he remembered Dusk's chibi form. He suddenly wondered if Shen Ji Yun's beast form could shrink. If yes, then he could freely touch his scales and mane.
"Brother Ji Yun, could you shrink your size?" he asked. He was looking down so the other couldn't see the excitement on his face. He wouldn't want him to think he's a pervert or something. "As big as a horse is okay."
But Shen Ji Yun didn't think of it that way. To him, it looked like Luo Yan was refusing to look at him because he thought this form of his was ugly. Add that to the fact that he just asked if he could shrink his beast form and he was sure that the other really didn't like what he looked right now. Maybe he wanted him to lessen his size so the impact of his ugliness would be decreased?
So, even though he was a bit hurt, he still nodded his head. Then slowly, his size receded until he was only as big as a horse.
"Is this okay?" he asked.
Luo Yan's heart was suddenly hit by the adorable talking Qilin. He didn't expect that Shen Ji Yun could still speak in this form. He no longer stopped his urges and jumped to hug his neck. Finally touching his soft dark purple mane and those glistening purple scales.
[Mashter, no fair!] – Eclipse complained and also jumped to Shen Ji Yun's back, finding a comfortable area and lying down on it.
Shen Ji Yun was, of course, taken aback by Luo Yan's sudden action. "Yan Yan?"
But after the shock slowly disappeared, his heart then started beating faster and faster. Because even in this form, he could still feel Luo Yan's softness against his. He was suddenly thankful that he was in this form. Because if he was in his normal avatar, he definitely wouldn't know what to do with his hands.
After he got his fill, Luo Yan let go of Shen Ji Yun's Qilin version's neck. "Sorry, Brother Ji Yun. You just look too adorable. I couldn't help myself."
Adorable? Shen Ji Yun wondered if he heard that right. Because of that, he also managed to quickly calm down. "You think I look adorable? In this form?"
Even though he couldn't see any expression on the Qilin's face, Luo Yan felt that the other must have an unbelieving look right now. "Yes."
After Luo Yan confirmed that, Shen Ji Yun still couldn't believe it. "You- you don't think I look… ugly?"
Ugly? Just where did this guy get that idea? – Luo Yan thought. Did he act in any way that made him think that? Then he remembered his request if he could shrink his size while also not looking at him. Was that it?
He didn't expect Shen Ji Yun to be so sensitive. No, wait. The other had been looking tangled even before he transformed. He thought it was because he was just hesitating to show him his beast form. But now he felt like the reason why he was hesitating was because he thought that his beast form looked ugly.
A helpless smile appeared on his face. "Of course, I don't. I think Brother Ji Yun's beast form is very beautiful. Even Eclipse thinks your cool."
Looking at Luo Yan's expression, Shen Ji Yun knew that the other was not just being perfunctory. He was not just saying that because he wanted him to feel better. But simply because that was what he really thought. He finally felt relieved.
And then his rabbit really had to add something that would make his heart race.
"Besides, no matter what form Brother Ji Yun was in, I will always think you're beautiful."
If his beast form could blush, Shen Ji Yun's dragon head would probably be as red as a tomato right now.
