The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

Chapter 369 - A FAN GIRL'S PRIDE



BAI ZE stared at the girl who so shamelessly asked that when she was already sitting comfortably beside him, as if she already knew that he wouldn't kick her off the carriage. Of course, Bai Ze wouldn't do that. He's still a gentleman after all. But he still couldn't help but say;

"If I say 'no', would you get off this carriage?"

Catnip appeared like she was seriously considering his question. But at the end, she only gave him that toothy grin and said, "Nope."

Although Bai Ze already knew the answer, he still shook his head. He met this girl, Catnip, during the King of Arcadia's birthday event. They teamed up to clear the mission of the door they ended up in. It was a bit of like an escape room where one couldn't leave until they solve all the mysteries inside. 

He was actually a bit hesitant to team up with her at that time. He wasn't familiar with her after all. What if she just turned out to be a pig team mate? It would be better if he just did the task alone. But somehow, when he was looked at by those eager cat-like eyes, he found himself unable to refuse. So, the two teamed up to clear the door. But as it turned out, the one who became the pig teammate was him and not her. 

Bai Ze had never been really good at puzzle solving and he had never really been a fan of the mystery genre in any medium of entertainment. And it just so happened that the door they were in wanted them to solve a serial murder mystery. Knowing that, he already knew that he would suffer a lot moving forward. But who would have thought that Catnip would solve everything for him?

She analyzed everything smoothly and methodically. Even when they were faced with a lot of gory scene such as dismembered bodies, her concentration didn't break. She didn't even squirm like most girls should after seeing such things. Instead, she just glanced at with interest and then proceeded on looking for clues. Her stomach was definitely much stronger than his, that's for sure. Because unlike her, he couldn't even count the times he almost vomited.

He still held quite a grudge for that. Of course, it's directed at those programmers who thought it was a good idea to design such a thing. Seriously, he wondered just how much of a brain hole the employees working under Uncle Yi Mu had. 

During the events that happened in that door, Bai Ze got along pretty well with Catnip. She was fun to be with, full of sense of humor and positivity. And most of all, she didn't dislike him for being a pig team mate who could barely help her. If it was Su Yuqi he was with, she would definitely not waste any time to insult his intelligence. But with Catnip, she just laughed and told him that he could simply be the 'brawn' in their team while she acted as the 'brain'.

And the two of them managed to finish that task with their strange cooperation.

Bai Ze had not seen Catnip after that. He actually tried several times to contact her, but at the end, he always chickened out. He didn't understand why. He just felt really awkward. So, at the end, he just chose not to do it.

That's why he was really surprised suddenly seeing her here. But not only that, he could also feel an unknown kind of happiness bubbling up inside him after seeing her again. Then once again, he felt that awkward feeling. He shook his head and just threw it at the back of his head.

"Are you here to play?" he just asked instead.

"You could say that," Xia Li only said.

How could she say that she was here because she saw those photos of YUN and Noctis on the forum? When she saw those pictures, she didn't waste time and quickly logged into the game. She didn't even hesitate to teleport to Alryne City to go to Tropical Land. It was a rare time for her to gather materials. Of course, she wouldn't dare miss it. 

A lot of her followers in her Weibo had been waiting for new fan-arts of the NightCloud CP. But she just didn't have any inspiration to draw one as of late. How could she when there's barely any news about the two? She couldn't possibly go and stalk them at every turn, right? Although she was really tempted a couple of times. But she still had her own pride as a fangirl. It's one of her rules to not disturb the life of the people she's stanning. 

That's why seeing that forum post was like heaven sent. It's like it was telling her to come and gather materials. Of course, she wouldn't disturb YUN and Noctis' date. She would just silently observe from afar. At a distance where the two wouldn't even notice her presence. She even brought different items to help her observe at a distance without disturbing the two.

She was absolutely ready to be fed dog food this afternoon!

But who would have thought that as soon as she entered Tropical Land she would meet White Marsh? It was truly unexpected. But maybe it's another sign from heaven helping her to search for her targets. 

White Marsh was a member of Yunyue – the same team as YUN and Noctis. Although those photos in the forum didn't show anyone besides the two, maybe they were here with the other members of their team. So, she didn't hesitate to jump into the carriage White Marsh was driving in the hopes that he could led them to the two. 

"Are you here on your own?"

White Marsh's question pulled her from her daydreaming. She nodded. "I just thought it's a good day to play at an amusement park."

Bai Ze looked at the girl beside her weirdly. What was so fun playing by yourself? Then an idea suddenly popped out in his mind. 

"If you're alone, then want to join us?" he asked, scratching his nose. 

Us? Xia Li glanced at the carriage compartment behind. She was guessing since earlier who might be the people inside. Could it be it was YUN and Noctis? She turned to White Marsh, her eyes shining. "May I ask who are you with?"

Bai Ze was not looking at her, so he didn't see the expectations in those cat-like eyes. "Oh, just two of my team mates."

Xia Li's eyes shone even brighter hearing that. She was thinking how she would inquire if the people inside were YUN and Noctis without appearing too weird. But before he could do that, White Marsh spoke again. 

"We're searching for our Captain and another team member. But we could have some fun while we do that. So, if you don't mind, wanna hang out with us?"

The cat ears on top of Xia Li's head drooped down when she heard the first part of what White Marsh said. But then thinking that they were here to look for YUN and Noctis as well, her ears quickly perked up again.

So, she smiled very happily and said, "Okay!"
