Chapter 932: WHAT'S BENEATH

SHEN JI YUN cleared his throat and said in a rather passionate manner, well, at least passionate for him, "Of course! I won't even let them get near me. Besides, I don't think there would be people out there who would be interested in me in that way."

Luo Yan almost laughed because of that last sentence. "Seriously, Brother Ji Yun? Have you seen yourself in the mirror?"

Shen Ji Yun scratched his cheek, seemingly shy by what Luo Yan was implying. "Are you saying I'm handsome?"

Luo Yan pinched Shen Ji Yun's chin and smiled playfully. "And are you fishing for compliments?"

A shy smile crossed Shen Ji Yun's lips. "Maybe?"

"Then, you got one," Luo Yan said, shaking the other's chin as if he was a child. "You are the most handsome man in the whole wide world. At least in my eyes, that is. Wouldn't that be enough for any bees and butterflies to flutter around you and show you their appreciation?"

"Maybe. But that would only be a passing fancy," Shen Ji Yun said with a shrug. "They wouldn't really like me for me. They might like my outer appearance, but once they saw what's beneath, I don't they would feel the same."

"Then, that's their lost," Luo Yan said. "And what kind of 'beneath' are we talking exactly? Was it about your personality and beautiful soul? Or were you talking about all the muscles underneath the clothes you're wearing?"

He said that last part while looking at Shen Ji Yun provocatively from head to toe, as if he was undressing the other. Sure enough, Shen Ji Yun's whole face turned red. Which only made him chuckle.

"Oh, Brother Ji Yun, you're adorable."

Shen Ji Yun pinched the other's cheek as if taking revenge. "You really shouldn't tease me too much."

Luo Yan only hugged Shen Ji Yun's waist. "And what are you going to do about it?"

Before Shen Ji Yun could answer, an intruding voice suddenly spoke.

"Master, Captain, are you done yet?"

Both Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun turned to the very familiar voice and saw Eclipse sitting on the side, looking up at them. The two instinctively stepped back from each other.

"Since when have you been here?" Luo Yan asked, pulling Eclipse up.

"Hmm, Eclipse doesn't know. Master and Captain had been talking for so long that Eclipse no longer looked at the time. But don't worry, Eclipse is a good boy, he didn't eavesdrop," Eclipse said, pushing his chest out as if he's very proud of what he just said.

Luo Yan ruffled the boy's hair. "Yes, Eclipse is a good boy."

He glanced at Shen Ji Yun and smiled as if saying to the other that this situation was very laugh worthy. Shen Ji Yun smiled back as a respond, obviously agreeing.

"Shall we go back to headquarters?" Luo Yan asked. "I think we'd still be in time for the meeting."

Their team actually had a meeting tonight. Mostly to talk about the upcoming Arcadia Cup. The preliminaries for the Cup would start just after Winter vacation. It would be a month-long event that would determine the top 16 teams. Which would then fight in a tournament until the two best teams were determined. And then, the two would fight for the championship.

Luo Yan was glad that the preliminaries would happen during the Winter vacation. That's probably Moonlight Media's consideration since most of the players participating were students.

Despite the strict prerequisites, many teams would still be able to participate. That's why many team battles would happen simultaneously on the same day. The fact that it could last for a month showed just how many teams would participate.

Yunyue had been training as a team for quite a while now, clearing dungeons and other stuffs. But if Luo Yan was being honest, their team was definitely not yet ready for the Arcadia Cup.

If it was just the preliminaries, then they would probably be fine. Their team was strong enough individually to win those matches. Getting to the top 16 would be a bit tough, but they could probably pull through. Especially with the help of two dragons and a void kitsune.

But getting to the finals would definitely be… very, very hard.

Unless, they improved their team work.

That's actually what their team was currently sorely lacking right now. He and Luo Jin were just new additions to the team. And while Shen Ji Yun, Bai Ze, and Su Yuqi were team mates for quite a long time, it's been a while since they fought together.

Another problem was Arcadia Cup was not just a simple 5 vs 5 game. It's not like they would all just be on a ring and fight with one another. Arcadia Cup battles were divided into three categories – tower defense, battle arena, and wargame. The teams that would face each other would be randomly assigned what kind of category they would fight in.

These three all had one thing in common – strategy. They all needed good strategies to win. And strategies needed team work.

"Yes, let's go," Shen Ji Yun said in response to what Luo Yan said.

The three then teleported to their team's headquarters.

Arriving at their destination, a sudden thought occurred to Luo Yan.

"By the way, Brother Ji Yun, how come Dusk never appeared automatically near you whenever you logged in to game?"

Pets in the game had that kind of setting. So, it was weird that it didn't happen with Shen Ji Yun and Dusk. He had already noticed that long before but he always forgot asking about it.

"Ah, that. I changed the setting, so it would be that way," Shen Ji Yun answered.

Luo Yan stopped walking and turned to Shen Ji Yun. "There's a setting like that?"

"Wait- master, are you thinking of cutting off our connection?" Eclipse suddenly interrupted. The kid obviously took their conversation in that way. "Does master not love Eclipse anymore?" he added as if he was about to cry.

Although Luo Yan knew that this kid was definitely just doing his usual acting, he decided to humor him. As always.
