LUO JIN was immediately angered by the other's statement. All his hair stood up like a porcupine. He was about to pull out his gun and shot the other, but Su Yuqi was much faster than him.

She sneered. "Just you? Do you think you have this ability?"

Luo Jin saw the vampiric bastard's face stiffening. The anger he felt because of the other's disrespectful comment had already subsided. 

Then, Su Yuqi snapped her fingers and Alucard's whole body froze up as if stunned by something. It was clear that Su Yuqi must have been the one responsible. 

Xu Ru narrowed his eyes at the pink-haired pixie. The moment he felt his whole body frozen, unable to move, he knew that it was this girl's fault. But he didn't show any panic. 

Everyone knew how much the Duke of Hearts hated it whenever his property was destroyed by others. That's why no players dared to fight in his territory. Because not only would they incur the wrath of the duke in doing so, the other would also bear a grudge against them. 

Being in the duke's blacklist meant that they could no longer do tasks involving the other. Any decent Arcadia player knew how much lost that would be for them. Tasks that had something to do with the four dukes always gave the best rewards. Not to mention, the events being hosted by the four. 

So, as much as possible, players always tried their best not to offend one of the four dukes. That's why Xu Ru was confident that this girl would not start a fight here. At most, she probably would just leave with the gnome after paralyzing him like this. 

"How do you know that I don't if you don't even try?" he said with the same frivolous tone.

"Sometimes, things don't need to be tried to know that it's trash," Su Yuqi said with a meaningful smile, as if saying to the other, 'yes, that's right, I just called you trash'.

No matter how good Xu Ru's temper was, he would be angered to death by such a comment. And since he wasn't really good-tempered, just imagine how much anger was boiling up inside him right now.

"You really are asking for a beating," he said through gritted teeth.

The annoying pixie sneered. Even though the other was so much smaller in stature, it appeared like she was looking down on him just by the way she raised her chin. "As if you have that ability."

Then, out of nowhere, a teleportation scroll appeared in her hand. Xu Ru suddenly had a bad feeling. Sure enough, the next moment the scroll was thrown to his direction. Before he could even react, he was already being sucked into a vacuum. Then, the image of the two annoying brats completely disappeared from his vision. 

Luo Jin was a bit taken aback by this sudden turn of events. One moment the two were still bickering, the next, the vampiric bastard had already disappeared. He glanced at Su Yuqi. This girl was decisive enough.

"Where did you send him to?" he asked, curious.

"The Endless Maze," Su Yuqi answered with a shrug.

Luo Jin raised a brow. The Endless Maze was still in the territory of the Duke of Hearts. It's just that, once someone teleported there, they weren't allowed to teleport out. They couldn't even fly out. The only way to leave was to find the right exit. 

But that's easier said than done. The exit to the Endless Maze changed every 24 hours. So, even if Alucard had managed to leave that place before, it didn't necessarily mean that he would be able to easily leave now.

Really, this girl. He shook his head with a helpless smile. But if she didn't do at least this much, then, she would no longer be the Su Yuqi he knew.

"I just gave him something productive to do tonight instead of hanging around here, annoying people," Su Yuqi added. Then, she glanced at Luo Jin with a playful smirk. "Aren't I kind?"

If it's any other person here, their first reaction would probably be, 'if you're kind, then, there's no longer any bad people in the world'. But the one here was Luo Jin. So, his reaction was the total opposite.

Upon seeing Su Yuqi's smile, his heart gave a weird thump. As if it was jumping up and down. He couldn't understand the emotion that was slowly filling his heart right now. Or maybe he already knew, he was just too stubborn to admit it. 

The girl tilted her head when she saw Luo Jin in a daze while staring at her. "What's wrong?"

Luo Jin seemed to be awakened by that call. He shook his head. "Nothing."

"Do you want to go back inside?" Su Yuqi asked. They were already gone long enough. Maybe the others were already looking for them.

"Nah, I'd rather be here," Luo Jin said. [With you.] – he added in his heart. 

"You know, I actually thought you would watch your brother all night, trying to separate him from Shen Ji Yun with all your might," Su Yuqi with an obvious teasing tone.

Luo Jin blushed in embarrassment. Because it felt like the other just told him that he's such a bro-con. "I- I'm not doing that anymore. If Yan wants to spend time with that guy, there's really nothing I could do."

Su Yuqi raised one of her delicate brows. "You've matured, Luo Jin. Good for you."

Luo Jin blushed again, but this time, it's more because of shyness. Then, he didn't know what came over him, but he just blurted out, "You, you can call me Ah Jin. Can I call you Yuqi?"

Su Yuqi seemed to be taken aback by his question. Then, she suddenly flicked his forehead. "It's still too early for you to call me that." She smiled and added, "Ah Jin."

At that moment, seeing her smile and hearing her call him by his nickname, Luo Jin could finally name the emotion he's feeling for the other.

Love.
