The Return Of The God Level Assassin

WHEN Luo Yan heard what Shen Ji Yun said, he immediately lay back on the bed and acted all weak and in pain. Although his HP wasnʼt decreasing anymore, a third of it was already gone. So looking pale and weak wasnʼt that hard. He noticed that the two was still not moving. He looked at the two.

”Why are you two still standing there?” he asked, confused. ”We should be in character before the crown prince come in,” he reminded them.

Duan Yu raised one of his brows. [Itʼs because you got into character so quickly.] Even so, he still sat beside the bed and planned to properly dress the elfʼs wound. But he just raised his hand and his wrist was immediately gripped hard by someone. He raised his head and saw YUN frowning down at him.

”What are you doing?” YUN asked in a tone that if he didnʼt give a satisfying answer, he would not hesitate to break his wrist.

Duan Yu was not afraid. He even smiled at YUN. ”Going into character. So could I have my hand back?”

Shen Ji Yun let go of Urielʼs hand, almost as if throwing it away. Then he turned to the rabbit lying on the bed. When he lay on the bed earlier, Shen Ji Yun was momentarily stunned. Because the rabbit looked so weak that he almost thought that he was indeed in pain. Shen Ji Yun felt like his chest was being squeezed looking at the rabbit like that. He didnʼt really like seeing Luo Yan like that. Even if it was all pretend.

”Iʼll be around the room,” he said, then disappeared on the spot.

Luo Yanʼs eyes slightly widened when he saw that. He suddenly remembered those s he read during his first life that included dark guard characters. They appeared and disappeared at a drop of a hat, moving almost as fast as the wind, they could even do light work – a technique that could make them walk in the air. Shen Ji Yun probably had the same skills. Man, seeing it first hand was kind of cool.

His thoughts were interrupted when he felt his wounded arm being held. He glanced at Uriel.

”Before you snap at me, Iʼm just dressing your wound properly,” he said.

Luo Yan blinked his big peach blossom eyes at him. ”Why would I snap at you?” he asked innocently.

Duan Yu felt some kind of violation looking at the elfʼs innocent face. Because he truly couldnʼt believe that Noctis was as innocent as he wanted to portray himself to be. If they were not in VR but in reality, he could probably read him better. Because he would be able to see what was truly hidden in those big eyes. After all, VR couldnʼt really capture every emotion hidden in oneʼs eyes.

”Just saying,” he said, taking out a medicine cream from the satchel hanging on the belt of his robe. He spread it on Noctisʼ wound. ”Your captain seemed to be overprotective of you. If you suddenly complain that Iʼm bullying you, your captain might stab me.”

Duan Yu said that fully aware that YUN could hear him. Because as he said earlier, heʼd be around in the room. Heʼs probably hiding right now at some hidden corner, watching their every move.

Luo Yan felt like there was some kind of hidden meaning behind Urielʼs words. He didnʼt like thinking of the possibility that whatever that meaning was, it reflected negatively on Shen Ji Yunʼs character. So, he looked innocently at him.

”Itʼs because Iʼm too pretty. Of course, Brother YUN would want to protect me. Wouldnʼt you do the same?”

Duan Yu almost gagged when he heard that. This was probably the first time he met someone who could brazenly tell another person how ʼprettyʼ they were. And itʼs a guy no less.

”Are you always this narcissistic?” he asked, finishing bandaging Noctisʼ wound.

Noctis smiled sweetly at him. ”But Iʼm only telling the truth though.”

Duan Yu wanted to reply back. But then the door opened and in came the crown prince. So he had no choice but to fall into his role as the haughty and arrogant godly doctor. He stood up and slightly bowed towards the prince.

Luo Yan lying on the bed almost raised one of his brows. Who would have thought this Uriel could act so well?

”Your Highness told me that I didnʼt need to do anything until we got back to the capital. And yet here I am, tending to some lowly courtesan, no less,” he said.

”This prince apologize. Your efforts will surely be compensated,” the crown prince only said. ”This prince wants to thank you for successfully saving my uncle. What caused his collapsed?”

”Itʼs poison. The same type of poison I found from this womanʼs wound.”

Luo Yan almost wanted to glance at Uriel. He already suspected that he and the old prince was poisoned. But when did this guy checked the type of poison slathered on that dagger that stabbed him?

The crown prince frowned. ”The same type?”

”Yes. A poison thatʼs unique only to the country of Wei,” Uriel answered.

The crown prince frown became even deeper. ”Are you sure?”

Uriel snorted as if insulted. ”Of course Iʼm sure. Surely Your Highness is not doubting my ability?”

The prince didnʼt answer and just fell into deep thought.

Luo Yan also became curious. The country of Wei? If itʼs the name of the country where this town was located, Uriel wouldnʼt phrase it that way. So, it was the name of another country? His guess? Itʼs most likely an enemy country.

The prince then glanced at the courtesan lying weakly on the bed. ”How is she?”

”Alive and good enough to be interrogated.”

When Luo Yan heard Uriel said that, he almost cursed. Damn this guy. Wasnʼt he too much into his role? Then he would just have to outdo his performance.

He tried to sit up on the bed, he acted all weak. Then he purposely fell from the bed, collapsing on the floor. He acted like he was persevering to kneel down in front of the crown prince. Tears like drop of pearls were already falling from his peach blossom eyes.

”Y-Your Highness, please, forgive t-this slave!”
