Chapter 535 - ULTIMATE ATTACK
"WHAT favor?"
Luo Yan slowly glanced at Shen Ji Yun who just asked that question with a cold voice. As expected, the other was frowning heavily. Even his expression was like dripping black ink.
He smiled. Even though inside him there was a miniature version of himself beating up that jerk Uriel. He had almost forgotten about that 'favor'. Really, if he was so keen on reminding him about that thing, he should just tell him what kind of favor he wanted. Then, this thing would be done and over with.
But no, he had to act all mysterious and put off telling him what kind of favor he planned to extract from him. And now, he suddenly reminded him about that favor just before he teleported away from here. Which was obviously done on purpose. Probably just so he could agitate Shen Ji Yun.
The other had been with them on that one quest during the birthday of the king of Arcadia. With that guy's insight, he would definitely notice that Shen Ji Yun put a lot of special care on him. Uriel most likely wanted to take revenge on Shen Ji Yun for refusing his offer of dinner.
Knowing Shen Ji Yun's bad habit of thinking too much, there's probably already a lot of dog-blood drama going through his head right now. Maybe he was thinking that Uriel was blackmailing him or something. Which wasn't really far-off from the truth. Anyway, if he didn't explain things properly, this guy might just go directly to team Celestials headquarters and beat the crap out of Uriel.
They just avoided a misunderstanding. It wouldn't do good if Shen Ji Yun suddenly beat a member of Celestials. Even if the other rightfully deserved it.
Since he had a big heart, Luo Yan had no choice but to explain things to Shen Ji Yun in a way that wouldn't put Uriel in a bad light so as to avoid such a situation. Who told him to be so kind and generous?
He cleared his throat and said, "It's nothing serious, Brother Ji Yun. Remember, Uriel was there with us when the king of Arcadia gave me the Yuexing Pavilion? Well, I asked him if he could not divulge that secret to people. He agreed but under one condition. I have to do him a favor. And I agreed."
Bai Ze, who was just silently listening to the two, suddenly remembered that time when Luo Yan asked him if he could get him a special pass so he could teleport to Celestials' headquarters to talk to Uriel. He had almost forgotten about that.
Now that he thought about it, that time was really before the pavilion opened. It turned out that his cousin went there just so he could prevent Uriel from telling anyone that he was the owner of Yuexing Pavilion. Seeing as no rumors appearing after such a long time, it seemed like Uriel kept his end of the bargain.
But the real question here was what kind of favor would he ask of Luo Yan. If it was something that would put his cousin in a disadvantage position, not to mention him, others from their team would definitely not let that happen. He glanced at Shen Ji Yun and shook his head helplessly. Especially this guy.
Before Luo Yan could explain further, Shen Ji Yun's expression had become even colder. "He's blackmailing you?"
Just like what Luo Yan thought earlier, Shen Ji Yun really had a lot of things going through his mind when he heard of the word 'favor'. Most of it were pretty negative.
He had almost forgotten that Uriel was with them during that birthday quest. All of his memories during that time were just full of Luo Yan. Him wearing that red dress. Him dancing. And also that time at the prison. He just automatically erased the extra – which in this case was Uriel – from those memories.
He was kind of regretting that now. If he didn't, then he could probably offer some help for Luo Yan. He probably wouldn't have to go along Uriel's scheme.
"No, no, I don't really think it's blackmailing. That guy, Uriel, is smart. If he knows what's good for him, he definitely won't force me to do something skeevy," Luo Yan said, reassuring him.
When Luo Yan saw that Shen Ji Yun still had that dark expression, he decided to just do his ultimate attack.
"With Brother Ji Yun around, how dare that Uriel make any disgusting demands. After all, Brother Ji Yun is so amazing!" He then hugged the other's arm and leaned on his shoulder. Then he raised his head and blinked his big pretty blue eyes at him. "Right?"
Shen Ji Yun only felt his heart speeding up. Then a blush crept over his cheeks to the tip of his ears. He quickly looked away, afraid that Luo Yan would see his thoughts in this close distance. Besides, looking at that beautiful face was just forcing him to have a heart attack.
"Hmm," he could only say.
Seeing the other's blushing face, Luo Yan smiled. Ah, Shen Ji Yun was really so fun to tease.
Bai Ze once again felt that he was unknowingly fed dog food. No, this time, it was directly thrown at his face. Did these two actually forgot that he's still here? Was his presence really that negligible?
Looking at the two, why did it feel like his cousin was the one doing the chasing and Shen Ji Yun was the one acting as the shy maiden? Never mind. It's probably better to just leave the two to their own world.
With that, he quietly teleported out of there.
"Just tell me once Uriel made his demand. I'll make sure to be there with you," Shen Ji Yun said.
"Okay." Luo Yan let go of the other's arm and returned to his normal sitting position. And then he noticed that Bai Ze was no longer there in the main hall with them. "Where's Brother Ze?"
[The big lion just left. He probably doesn't want to disturb Mashter and Captain's flirting session.]
Hearing what Eclipse said, Luo Yan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. Bai Ze definitely saw what he did just now. And a slight red tint appeared on both his cheeks.
