AFTER grinding for the whole afternoon with Eclipse, Luo Yan finally reached level 83. His little fox also leveled up to 27. He tested the new skill that Eclipse obtained – Mirror Image. With this skill, Eclipse could really transform into anything within the allowed range. And while he was transformed, he could gain the abilities of the things he transformed into. But he could only utilize half of the power of those abilities. It would only last for 10 seconds and the cool down before Eclipse could use it again was 5 minutes. 

 It's a good thing that the cool down wasn't as long as his 'Shadow Walk' skill. This 'Mirror Image' was a pretty good skill. It would definitely be helpful in a fight, as long as one used it right. 

Luo Jin was with them earlier. But halfway through, he left after receiving a message from Su Yuqi. Seriously, that kid was wondering if there was something wrong with their older brother, but he, himself, seemed to not notice that there was also something wrong with him. It's like Su Yuqi just have to snap her fingers and his younger brother would come running to her. Luo Jin wouldn't admit it, but he was definitely whipped.

[Mashter, could I have a Mana fruit?] – Eclipse asked, jumping to his shoulder.

Luo Yan glanced sideways at the little fox licking his own paw. [Aren't you afraid of getting fat? You already look chubby, you know?]

Eclipse widened his sapphire blue eyes and seemed like he was wounded by what he said. [Mashter, how could you call your lovely Eclipse fat? Eclipse is just growing! I could already feel that I would grow another tail soon.]

Luo Yan raised one of his brows. [Really? How long do you think it would take for you to have nine tails?]

[Hmm… Eclipse is not sure. It could depend on Eclipse's level as a whole. But sometimes, a sudden extreme increased in power could also make Eclipse grow a tail.]

That's actually understandable. No wonder when Eclipse hatched from the egg, he already had three-tails. It was because he absorbed a lot of Mana from that Mana pod he received as a reward from the King of Arcadia. In normal cases, Eclipse should be born with only one tail. 

[How big would you be once you have nine-tails?] – he asked.

[Maybe as big as a horse? Eclipse could carry Mashter then.] – the little fox said happily.

Luo Yan chuckled seeing his pet so excited at the prospect of carrying him on his back. [I'm waiting for that then.]

[By the way, Mashter, could Eclipse also transform into a humanoid form?]

Luo Yan was a bit surprised by the little fox's question. He didn't expect that he would still remember that. He did do some research about that. But all the results pointed to the fact that only those that belonged to the Legendary race have the ability to transform into a humanoid form. How could he completely dash away the hope of his adorable little fox?

[I'm still looking into it.] – he just said.

Actually, he already thought of a possible way. An Alchemist could simply make a pill that could make pets transform into a humanoid form. But in this game, there's probably only one person who could do that – Bian Que. He was thinking of how he could propose that idea to him. Considering how much the other loved money, he had no doubt that he would agree.

Although getting a pet was still not something that popular in the game, once players could see that the pet they acquired could transform into a humanoid form, it would definitely blow up in popularity. And being the one who made the pill for that, Bian Que would surely get a lot of profit from it. Maybe he was already thinking of doing that. But it wouldn't hurt to talk to him about it either.

And since they were already in some kind of business partnership, it wouldn't be too hard to contact him. The only problem was he knew him as an NPC, not a player. 

The specialized tea that Bian Que would supply to the pavilion had already arrived days ago. Luo Yan wasn't sure if he would still attend the official public opening of the pavilion today. If he did, then Luo Yan would talk to him and find a way to convey what he wanted to say without revealing that he wasn't a real NPC.

[Don't worry, Mashter. Eclipse is not in a hurry.] – Eclipse said. 

Luo Yan smiled and ruffled the fluffy head of the little fox. 

----------

Xu Ru blocked the attack of an incoming player. Then he pulled out the sword from his cane and stabbed the player who just attacked him. His attack was too fast to see, hence that player immediately died. Of course, not died 'died', just game 'died'. But he hadn't taken a breath yet and another player immediately attacked him right after.

"Shit. What the hell are your problems?" he annoyingly shouted after blocking another attack. Then glared at the ten players surrounding him.

"Haven't you seen the announcement on the World Chat? There's someone who put a bounty on your head," one said.

"Whoever kills you would receive 100,000 crystal coins," another added. "How could we poor people pass that up?"

Xu Ru's pupils dilated. A bounty on his head? It's a common thing that rich players do when someone pissed them off. If the target person was not in the four major cities of Arcadia, then anyone could attack them. 100,000 crystal coins could be converted to 10,000 RMB which was already a lot of money to some people. 

So, who the hell did he piss off to receive such a bounty?

He didn't have time to think more because all ten players suddenly attacked him all at the same time.

He gritted his teeth, let out a string of curses, then teleported out of there.

On a hill overlooking the whole incident, a boy and a girl who looked like they were six or seven years were watching the whole thing. The boy had black hair and ruby red eyes. While the girl had short bubblegum pink hair and a pair of butterfly wings behind her back. Yes, the two were Luo Jin and Su Yuqi.

Luo Jin let out a burst of laughter. "That was hilarious. Putting a bounty on his head is really a good idea."

"Of course. This is the best way to retaliate without him knowing that the one behind the whole thing was our team," Su Yuqi said indifferently.

This was their team's revenge on Alucard for what he did to Luo Yan during the opening of Yuexing Pavilion. And since it was a team effort, the crystal coins that they used came out of the team's treasury. The bounty would expire after a month – the longest expiration date for a bounty in Arcadia. Which was enough punishment for that vampire.

Luo Jin stared at Su Yuqi's indifferent profile. She might look like she didn't care. But this action of hers showed that behind this whole indifferent exterior was someone who cared a lot for their friends. 

"You really are the best, you know?" Then he caught himself. Realizing how embarrassing his statement was just now. He suddenly felt his whole face heating up. "N-no, I mean, just, it's- what I want to say is you're the best in planning things like this."

Then he realized how stupid that sounded. And he just wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Until he heard Su Yuqi laughing. He raised his head and saw her eyes bent into crescents. When she was not smiling, she almost looked like a beautiful doll. But when she did, she was just simply shining.

"Thank you for the compliment," she said, still with an amused smile on her face.

And Luo Jin just couldn't take his eyes off of her.
