"HEY, what sad--!" Dusk was not able to finish what he was saying because Shen Ji Yun suddenly drag the other away. He did it so fast that the dragon didn’t even have time to complain.
Of course, Shen Ji Yun only did that because Luo Yan told him to. Well, not exactly ’told’ him. It was more like the other gestured for him to take Dusk away. By gesture he meant Luo Yan moving his hand behind in a shooing manner.
It was actually quite amazing that he understood what the other was trying to say by just seeing that simple movement. He could only attribute it to the fact that he had always been attentive to his rabbit’s every action. That now he could even understand what the other wanted to say without him even saying anything.
Or maybe, at that moment, the wavelengths of their brain just happened to match each other. After all, he could also understand that it would be harder for them to smoothen things out if Dusk refuted the things that Luo Yan had told the kitsune. Which that dragon would definitely do.
Considering how the kitsune seemed to have some sort of grudge against Dusk, it would be better if the other could somehow sympathize with the dragon’s so-called sad story. That way, there’s no need for them to fight with the demon fox tribe. Especially since Eclipse seemed to be experiencing something that was related to the foxes. As evidence of him currently being surrounded by that blue light and was floating on top of the palm of a statue that looked like Kagetsuki.
He was sure that Luo Yan had his plans. The best way he could support him was not let anyone get in his way.
"What the hell? Why did you suddenly pull me here?" Dusk said, finally able to pull away from Shen Ji Yun. "I want to make sure that that moon elf is not going to say nonsense!"
The two of them were now at a distance away from Luo Yan and that NPC. Shen Ji Yun looked at the two. This distance was perfect. It was far enough that Dusk wouldn’t be able to hear whatever story Luo Yan would tell the kitsune. But near enough that he could quickly rush over there if that female NPC did something she shouldn’t. Like attacking Luo Yan or flirting with him.
He glanced at the dragon and took out a high-grade Mana fruit. "If you can remain here for five minutes without making a fuss, you can have as many of this Mana fruit as you wanted."
Dusk’s beast-like eyes stared at the plump red fruit on Shen Ji Yun’s hand. It even looked like he would salivate at any moment. "Hmp! Bribing this king, you have a lot of nerve."
But even though he said that, he still grabbed the Mana fruit, bit a huge bite on it, and then stayed in place. For some reason, Shen Ji Yun was suddenly reminded of that younger brother gnome of Luo Yan. Really, how the two acted was almost identical.
On the other side...
"Why did the Sir Qilin take the dragon there?" Shirayuki asked, the confusion in her voice was very obvious.
Luo Yan was a bit amused hearing the other call Shen Ji Yun ’sir’ while just directly referring to Dusk as ’dragon’. One could see that she didn’t have the least bit of respect for the other.
Before answering, he kept the sad expression on his face. "It’s because what I will tell you next might just make him sad. So, my friend, being so understanding, had to pull him away so he wouldn’t hear us."
"Is it related to how you found him in that cave?" she asked, seemingly convinced by the act Luo Yan had put up.
"Yes. I discovered that that place where the cave was located was actually under the control of the rare plant called the Eternal Lotus. I don’t know if you have heard of it. But it’s something that could stop the time in a certain radius of its surrounding. It just so happened that the cave was near the lake where it was located. You asked how Eclipse looked like he had only hatched from his beast egg, well, it’s because of that. Because of the effect of the Eternal Lotus, it stopped its hatching and was frozen in time. The same could be said for the dragon.
"That’s why when I took his beast egg out of that cave, time went back to normal for the egg and it managed to be safely hatched. When I went back again to that place together with my friend, the qilin, we destroyed the Eternal Lotus and time also went back to normal for that place. Of course, the dragon was also awoken from his ’slumber’ because of that.
"He was not in his right mind when he was unfrozen in time. He was covered in fatal wounds and bleeding all over. His mind was probably muddled by too much that he just wanted to lash out to everything that’s surrounding him. If you had seen him at that moment, it would impossible not to feel pity. Then if that wasn’t enough, when we managed to calm him down, we discovered that he had lost all his memories. contemporary romance
"I have to give him a name since he couldn’t give us his. Oh, poor Dusk." Luo Yan squeezed out a few tears to make his acting more believable. "I know that you had a history with him and it seems pretty bad at that. But I hope you could spare him just this time. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be angry. I’m just saying that getting your revenge on someone that doesn’t even remember what they did wrong wouldn’t be as satisfactory. Don’t you think so?"
Based on the expression on Shirayuki’s face right now, Luo Yan could see that he was slowly getting through her. "For the sake of Eclipse, who’s now undergoing an important change in his life, would we all have a temporary truce?"
That was probably the last key. Finally, the female kitsune reluctantly nodded. "But only temporarily."
Luo Yan inwardly let out a sigh of relief. Really, sometimes acting could be really exhausting.
