The Return of the God Level Assassin Chapter 399 trembling little fox

LUO YAN was startled when he heard that. He subconsciously turned to Shen Ji Yun who also turned to him. They could see in each other’s eyes that they heard the sa thing.

So, the Gakeeper really issued a side quest? The trigger should be because they found out the relationship between the black dragon and that female kitsune – Kagetsuki. He suddenly felt a headache. They hadn’t even finished this hidden task and another side quest suddenly appeared.

He had a feeling that this hidden task along with that side quest wouldn’t be finished today. He and his family would go to Chengdu tomorrow. After that, it would be the preliminaries for the Rookie Carnival. So, if they weren’t able to end this hidden task today, then they could only continue it after the prelims of the Rookie Carnival. Which would be a week from now.

Knowing Shen Ji Yun, he certainly wouldn’t complain even if this dragged on until next week. After all, it could only an that he could spend more ti with him. He stopped. Why did he automatically assu that Shen Ji Yun would be more than glad to drag this task out just so he could spend more ti with him?

He shook his head. It seed that his old disease of being too narcissistic was acting up again.

Luo Yan was about to say sothing to Shen Ji Yun when a little black ball suddenly jumped to his arms. If he was not already sitting, he might have fallen on his back. He carefully held Eclipse especially after he felt his little body trembling.

[Mashter... that- that w-woman. Was she- she--] – Eclipse didn’t finish what he was saying and just buried his head on his master’s arms. [Mashter, Eclipse can’t think properly. Eclipse doesn’t know why.]

Luo Yan wasn’t able to react at first. And then she thought of the mories they just saw earlier. Of course, he imdiately understood that the female kitsune nad Kagetsuki was most likely Eclipse’s mother. And that male kitsune with eight white tails was most probably his father.

He didn’t think much at first. Because that was just an NPC’s backstory. No matter how tragic, it was just sothing that ca out of the ga developers’ big brain hole. But he actually forgot that this tragic backstory included his adorable pet.

Although Eclipse was just a level higher than an NPC, he was still a virtual pet. But he so smart, cute, and full of different emotions. Luo Yan couldn’t help but simply be attached. So, now, thinking of that mory that they just saw, this little fox would definitely feel sad and uncomfortable. After all, he just witnessed the scene of his parents dying like that.

He patted Eclipse back gently. [Don’t be scared, master is here.]

Eclipse raised his head from Luo Yan’s arms, his sapphire blue eyes were wet with unshed tears. [Mashter, she- was she my- my--]

[Yes.] – Luo Yan said knowing what the little guy wanted to ask.

Eclipse buried his head on his master’s arms once again. [Then, she- was she no longer here?]

Luo Yan hugged the little fox. [No matter where she was, I’m sure she was looking after you. Not only her but also your father. And I’m certain that they would be very proud seeing that their little prince turned out to be such a strong and mighty kitsune. Very worthy of being the son of the demon fox tribe’s leader.]

Eclipse didn’t speak and only hugged Luo Yan. But his small body had already stopped trembling. A sign that he had already cald down.

Luo Yan continued patting Eclipse’s back. Then he put his attention on Lhoris who had been in a daze since his mory started playing on the wall like so kind of movie. The black talisman had already turned to ashes. A sign that that was the end of his mory about Kagetsuki.

He regretted it a bit. Maybe he shouldn’t have used that crystal ball. Then the story about Eclipse’s parents wouldn’t be revealed in that manner. But things had already happened so there’s no use crying over spilled milk.

"Did Mr. Lhoris already know about Eclipse’s identity? That’s why you reacted that way when you saw the gem on his forehead earlier?" he asked.

He had a guess that the blue gem might be the symbol of being the leader of the demon fox tribe. When Kagetsuki decided to give birth to Eclipse ahead of ti, that blue gem probably passed down from her to the little fox inside the egg. Maybe that was what allowed her keep Eclipse alive despite her already dwindling life force.

But that was all her conjecture. It wouldn’t prove anything unless they found out the cause of that massacre. And the fastest way to do that was to restore Dusk’s mories. The next best ting was to get all the mories that Lhoris had about the black dragon.

Lhoris seed to be trying to get out of his daze. When he did, he answered, "Yes. I thought he was just an ordinary fox at first. But when I saw the blue gem on his forehead, I had a feeling that he might be related to the female kitsune that was friends with the black dragon. That he might even be the one inside the beast egg that Kagetsuki had entrusted to the dragon."

And this guy probably felt scared thinking that Eclipse was the godson of the black dragon and therefore would lead the dragon here much faster. But probably after hearing Luo Yan said that Eclipse was his ’pet’ and that the black dragon was now under their care, Lhoris finally managed to calm down himself.

"Please, tell us about the other mories that you have," Luo Yan said.

He really didn’t want to use the crystal ball again to ’watch’ the mory of Dusk. It would be better to just hear all about it from Lhoris.

The moon elf nodded. But before he could hear what he was about to say, the little fox in his arms suddenly tugged on his clothes.

[Mashter, Eclipse just realized that the black lizard is actually my godfather. Eclipse is very unwilling.]

Luo Yan looked down and saw Eclipse’s face that was scrunched up, as if he had eaten sothing extrely sour and bitter at the sa ti. Seeing that and hearing what he said, Luo Yan had to suppress his laughter.

If Eclipse could now talk like this, then at least that ant that his sadness had already subsided. That’s good. He didn’t want to see him trembling from sadness again.

He patted his head gently. [I’m sure Dusk shared the sa sentint.]

Eclipse’s cheeks bulged. [Does he even dare to complain? Eclipse is so cute. It’s his blessing to have a godson as adorable as . Besides, my m-mo- my mother told him to take care of and he agreed. So, he better not show any dislike!]

Luo Yan chuckled. Because what Eclipse said was very contradictory. But he decided to just indulge him. [Yes, yes, Eclipse is right.]

Then he raised his head and listened to Lhoris.
