The Return Of The God Level Assassin

LUO YAN lifted up the small black fox. The feel of its fur was so soft that he had to resist the strong urge to squeeze it. He lifted it up until both of their eyes were in the same level.

[Did you just speak?] – he asked inside his mind, because he was sure that this fox just spoke to him the same way. If ever he was right and he spoke to it in a normal way, then that would only look like he was having a one-sided conversation. Which he didnʼt want to show to anyone.

[Yesh, Mashter.]

[How can you communicate this way?]

[Becaushe Mashter and I have a connection.]

Luo Yan frowned a little. Not because of what it said, no, he could accept that connection. Since, technically, in this virtual world, both of them were just made up of codes and data. Thus it wouldnʼt be that hard to have them be able to communicate through their minds. Whatʼs bothering him was its way of speaking. He wasnʼt sure if itʼs just acting all cute or if itʼs just its natural way of speaking.

[How come you have a lisp?] – he couldnʼt help asking.

[Becaushe Iʼm shtill a baby.]

Well, that kind of made sense. [Does that mean it will disappear once you grow?]

[Of coursh! Not only that, Iʼll be powerful enough to protect you, Mashter.]

It said, puffing up its chest in a proud way. The corner of Luo Yanʼs lips twitched a little when he saw that little action. How come this little thing act so life like? But he guessed thatʼs better than it being like just an ordinary pet.

[Are all pets like you, being able to communicate with their master through their minds?] – he couldnʼt help but ask.

The little thing in his hands seemed affronted by that question. [Mashter how could you think that? Of coursh not everyone ish like me! Only powerful beasts have this ability.]

[So does that mean youʼre powerful?]

[Of coursh I am. Itʼs because Mashter fed me with so much Mana that I wash able to mutate from being just an ordinary fox demon spirit.]

A fox demon spirit? [Then wouldnʼt that mean youʼre originally just an ordinary beast?]

The fox demon blinked it big sapphire blue eyes at him. Then it became watery and were suddenly filled with grievance. [Ish Mashter hating on me? Are you going to abandon me? How could you, after all the tymshs we spent together?]

The corner of Luo Yanʼs eyes twitched. Was this little thing trying to guilt trip him? He couldnʼt help but feel that this little fox might be as black-belly as he was. Could it be, because of his Mana, he transferred some of his traits to this fox?

[Okay, stop with the drama. As you said, I spent a lot of Mana on you. How could I just abandon you?]

The little fox gave him a toothy grin. [I knew it. Mashter is still the besh for me.]

”Yan Yan, is everything okay?” Shen Ji Yun suddenly asked, cutting off the conversation between Luo Yan and the fox.

Luo Jin sharply turned towards Shen Ji Yun when he heard what the other called his second brother. Just when did this expressionless jerk start to call Luo Yan that?

Luo Yan hugged the fox to himself. ”Yes, the both of us were just having a conversation.”

”Whoa. You could communicate with each other?” Bai Ze said in amazement. ”Can I hug it too? I also want to try talking to it?”

The fox suddenly drilled itself into Luo Yanʼs arms. [Mashter, I donʼt want to be held by that big lion. But…] It glanced at Shen Ji Yun. [I donʼt mind if itsh the other big brother with blue eyesh.]

So this little thing also knew how to discriminate. [How come?]

[Becaushe heʼs handshome. We would look good together becaushe Iʼm sho cute.]

Luo Yan coughed a bit so he could prevent himself from laughing. So, itʼs because this fox was a face control.

[Look, look, Mashter, heʼsh shtaring at me!] The little fox burrowed its head on his chest. [He probably thinksh Iʼm so adorable and want me to be hish own pet.]

Finally, Luo Yan couldnʼt help letting out a small laugh. He petted its head. [Okay, donʼt make trouble.]

He raised his head and saw that Shen Ji Yun was really looking at the fox. Heʼs probably thinking right now how this fox suited him. After all, he once told him that heʼs a fox in a rabbitʼs clothing.

He then turned to his cousin and looked apologetic. ”Iʼm sorry, Brother Ze. Itʼs a bit shy and I think Iʼm the only one who could communicate with it.”

[Mashter, thatsh not what I shaid!]

[Yes, yes, I know.] – he said to the fox, a but perfunctorily.

Bai Ze appeared disappointed for a second. But he immediately regained his energy and said, ”Thatʼs okay.”

And now, seeing the cute little fox, heʼs even more determined to find himself his own pet.

”What kind of fox is it?” Su Yuqi asked.

”I think you should make a contract with it. So you could view its information,” Shen Ji Yun suggested.

[The handshome brother ish right, Mashter. We should immediately form a contract. What will you do if shomeone tried to take me from you by forsh?]

Luo Yan looked down at the fox heʼs holding. [How do we form a contract?]

[Shince Mashter didnʼt defeat me and got me as an egg, we have to do something more fomal.]

Luo Yan suddenly remembered what happened when he fought that ugly tree in his Origin Village. When it was on its last blood, an option appeared where he could train the tree as his pet. He guessed that if he agreed back then, then he and that tree would automatically form a contract. But since, the situation was different with this little fox, the way to form a contract would also be different.

[Which is?] – he asked.

[Itʼs very shimple, Mashter. You jush have to input Mana on this orb above on my forehead.]

He looked at the orb and touched it. [What is this anyway?]

[Itsh a shign that Iʼm shpecial.] – the fox said quite proudly.

Luo Yan shook his head helplessly and just input his Mana on the dark blue orb. It shone and then a black complicated symbol suddenly appeared below him. After that, a notification screen appeared in front of Luo Yan.

[Do you want to form a contract with the demon fox spirit you are holding?]

Of course he didnʼt hesitate to click ʼyesʼ.

The complicated symbol shone brighter until it completely disappeared. Then another screen popped up in front of Luo Yan.

[Congratulations, dear player on getting your very own pet! Please, go and check your Status Window to see some relevant information about it.]

He then proceeded on opening his Status Window. He immediately noticed the new tab – Pet Status. He didnʼt hesitate to click on it.

Void Kitsune

- One of the strongest variation of the fox demon spirit family. With the power of the void, it could cause blights, drain life, summon creatures from the darkness, slip into shadows to vanish, and drain light from areas. Of course its abilities all depended on the number of tails it has.

- A kitsune could have as much as nine tails. The more tails it possessed, the more powerful it is. One could increase the number of its tails by either levelling it up or making it ingest a lot of Mana.

Current Level: 1

Type: SSR

Luo Yan read everything carefully. A void kitsune, huh? Thatʼs the first time he heard about that. But looking at the list of abilities it could have, this fox was definitely perfect for him. Then he glanced at the ʼSSRʼ. Could this mean super super rare?

He ignored that for now and looked once again at the fox. [Youʼre really amazing, huh?]

The little fox puffed his chest again in a proud manner. [Of coursh I am. But Mashter, you should at leash name me. I donʼt want to continue being namelessh.]

[Are you a boy or a girl?]

[Iʼm a boy like Mashter.]

He raised the fox and announced, ”Then from today on, you will be known as Eclipse!”
