Chapter 933: 'MATING'

"OF course not! How could I even think of that?" Luo Yan said exaggeratedly. "I have the most adorable fox in the whole of Arcadia, how could I even dare cut off our connection?"

Eclipse seemed to be very pleased by that. "Yes, Eclipse is the most adorable fox in the whole of Arcadia." He pushed out his chest and put both hands on his hips. "It would be master's lost if you don't keep this cuteness by your side."

Luo Yan chuckled. "Yes, yes."

Shen Ji Yun watched the two's banter and couldn't help but smile inwardly. His thoughts were only filled with words like 'cute' and 'adorable'.

"You go on ahead," he said. "I will go and get Dusk."

Based on the signal on Pet Tab that indicated where Dusk was currently, the other was somewhere on this mountain where their headquarters was. Shen Ji Yun knew that Dusk made a cave somewhere in this mountain and was starting to fill it with treasures. Bai Ze's dragon also followed suit and made his own cave.

That's not a problem since this whole mountain was owned by their team. So, they didn't have to worry about trespassers. It's one of the reasons why they bought this mountain when they were planning to build their headquarters. Shen Ji Yun didn't want outsiders to go in and out of the place where their headquarters was, so he decided to just buy the whole mountain.

"Okay," Luo Yan said, then he and Eclipse continued on to the main hall.

Soon, the two of them arrived at their destination and walked inside. Surprisingly, they were the first ones to arrive. And here he thought he and Shen Ji Yun were already running late.

"The others are still not here," he commented as he sat on his usual seat.

Eclipse also sat down beside him. "The lion guy is probably looking for that red lizard. They would probably arrive together with Captain since that red lizard is always following Uncle."

Luo Yan turned to Eclipse with an amused smile on his lips. "You still don't like Rowan?"

"How can Eclipse like him when he's always following Uncle around? He's even interfering with Uncle's love life!"

Luo Yan raised his brow at that last part. "In what way was he interfering?"

"He always asked Uncle to fight him. Because of that, the time in which Uncle could come together with me to the village decreased! Which is equivalent to his time spending with Aunt Yuki also decreasing! Isn't that the same as interfering with Uncle's love life?"

Eclipse sounded so indignant and offended that Luo Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, I don't think Rowan meant to do that."

Eclipse pouted. "Even so. No matter if he was doing it consciously or subconsciously, he was still being a pain in the ass. How could Uncle and Aunt fall in love if he's always there acting like a big light bulb?"

"How about you talk to him about it and tell him your concern?"

That would be a pretty interesting conversation in Luo Yan's opinion.

"Eclipse already did! And that red lizard just laughed at Eclipse! He said that people from different races couldn't mate! Then Eclipse said to him that Master and Captain are both different races and yet they had already mated! So, how could his logic be possible?"

If Luo Yan was drinking something at that moment, he might have choked because of Eclipse's comment about him 'mating' with Shen Ji Yun. If this was reality, he probably would have even choked on his own saliva.

Now, he was kind of thankful that there were only two of them here. If Luo Jin was here and heard that, he would definitely misunderstood Eclipse's words. The other wasn't still too fond of Shen Ji Yun. If he heard that, his dislike for Shen Ji Yun would definitely escalate to the next level. Maybe Luo Jin would even see the other as nothing but a beast.

Luo Yan made his expression calm before saying to Eclipse, "Let's try not to talk to others about mating, hmm?"

Eclipse tilted his head. "Why?"

"Because it's a private matter between couples."

"Ah, Eclipse understands!" the other said as if he suddenly received enlightenment. "If Master is feeling shy about it, then Eclipse won't talk about it to others."

Although that wasn't exactly his point, Luo Yan still nodded. At least with this, he wouldn't find Eclipse going around telling people that he and Shen Ji Yun had already 'mated'.

After quite a while, the door opened and both Luo Jin and Su Yuqi walked inside. Luo Yan couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief. At least the two arrived after his conversation with Eclipse had already ended.

"Are you together?" Luo Yan asked seeing as the two arrived together.

Luo Jin suddenly blushed for no reason. "W-wha-what t-together?"

Luo Yan was a bit startled by the violent reaction. And then he quickly realized why the other was acting this way. He had to bite his inner cheek just to prevent himself from laughing.

"Yes, we just finished a task together. That's why we only arrived now," Su Yuqi said, glancing at Luo Jin with amusement, before walking towards the round table and sitting down on her usual seat.

Luo Jin's face became even redder after realizing that he just misunderstood Luo Yan's question. He stiffly walked to the round table, obviously trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Well, you two are indeed together," Luo Yan said in a teasing tone. "Doing task, that is."

Luo Jin glared at him before sitting down beside Su Yuqi.

"Where's Shen Ji Yun and Brother Ze?" he asked in an obvious attempt to change the topic.

As if on cue, the door opened and four figures entered - Shen Ji Yun and Bai Ze together with their dragons. Rowan had a sulking expression as if he didn't want to be here. But he still followed Bai Ze and sat beside the latter.

"Shall we start the meeting?" Shen Ji Yun asked after he sat down.
