The Return Of The God Level Assassin

INSIDE the red door, let’s back track in time about an hour and a half ago...

Luo Jin was not doing that good at the moment.He was barefooted, the skirt of his freaking dress was almost in tatters, he didn’t even know where Su Yuqi was.The only good thing right now was that the surroundings was dim.The NPCs around wouldn’t suspect his real gender.The only light was coming from the fighting currently happening in the ballroom.

Yes, fighting.

A group of men wearing all black suddenly appeared during the middle of the dance and tried to kill of the prince from Crystal Kingdom.The guards of the prince, in order to protect him, of course, fought back.But that’s not the end of it all.

With all the commotion happening, some kind of tentacle like monster suddenly appeared.Its color was green and its shape was similar to a Venus fly trap, just much, much bigger.Bigger in a sense that it reached the crystal chandelier hanging on the ceiling of the ball room.It was slimy and had appendages attached to its body similar to tentacles.It looked like it came straight out of a hentai anime.

Especially when it started to capture the girls, surrounding them with its tentacles.The slime from the monster’s body acted like some kind of acid, slowly degrading the clothes of the captured girls.Once again, Luo Jin felt like he was watching a scene straight out of some hentai anime.

Just what’s with the bad taste of the person who designed this red door?

Because the monster was too big, when it started to rampage, it destroyed the chandelier on the ceiling.The slime on its body also spread to whatever area was near it.That was the reason why the skirt of his dress was almost destroyed.Because some of its slime accidentally dropped to where he was standing.If he didn’t manage to move fast, it’s not just his skirt but his whole body would be soaked in that monster’s slime.Just thinking about it could give Luo Jin goosebumps.

The monster’s sudden appearance not only stopped the fighting between the men in black and prince’s guards, it also separated him from Su Yuqi.Well, to be fair, they weren’t really standing together in the first place.He was just following her with his eyes.Okay, now that sounded a bit stalker-ish.But it wasn’t like that, okay?

He couldn’t help but remember what happened when they met earlier in front of the palace.

=====

Luo Jin was sure that the tall and willowy young woman standing on a distance from him was Su Yuqi.He was planning to walk towards her when she took her gaze back and walked towards the castle.As if she didn’t see him at all.No, it’s probably more accurate to say that she didn’t recognize him.

Well, how could she?She’d only seen his game avatar which was so far off on how he really looked like in real life.And now, he was wearing a dress, covering the lower part of his face with a fan.Who would equate his current avatar to his gnome avatar?Only his second brother would probably able to recognize him at a glance.

So Luo Jin decided to just follow Su Yuqi.If she didn’t recognize him, then he’d just introduce himself.They’re already team mates anyway, it’s justified for them to team up for the task in this red door as well.The moment he took a step, he almost tripped.

Damn.Why did this character have to wear heels?He’s only masquerading as a girl.The skirt of the dress was already long enough to hide his footwear?So why still wear heels?To make it look authentic?Wouldn’t it look even more suspicious once people notice that he’s not used to walking in heels?

Maybe the character of this avatar was one that was extremely stupid.After all, who would go and cross-dressed as his twin sister just so she could save him from marrying some foreign prince?Really, was there no other option?And it’s not as if his sister would be automatically chosen even if she attended this party herself.

Therefore, Luo Jin could only conclude that the person who wrote the story for this door was probably lacking a good amount of sleep.

He balanced himself and continued to walk forward.

Before Su Yuqi could enter the palace, Luo Jin stretched his hand and held her arm to stop her.She looked back and narrowed her eyes at him, her pretty face filling with displeasure.

"What are you doing?Let go!" she said in the haughtiest tone possible, as if Luo Jin was some beggar who dirtied her clothes.

Luo Jin was taken aback a bit.Because this was the most emotion Su Yuqi had shown, aside from indifference, ever since they met.He suddenly wondered if he recognized the wrong person.And then he remembered the character introduction he had the moment he arrived here.Su Yuqi probably had the same experience.She’s probably playing the role of some haughty noble lady right now.And since, she couldn’t possibly recognize him, her first thought would be that he’s an NPC in this door.

"Su Yuqi, it’s me, Luo Jin," he whispered.

Su Yuqi stared at him for about ten seconds."Luo Jin...?"

Luo Jin put down the fan covering the lower half of his face."It’s me."

She looked at his face, then down at the dress he was wearing, and then back again at his face.After that, something very unlikely happened.Su Yuqi let out a giggle.It was only for a second, but she did.Then her usual indifferent expression returned."Nice dress."

Even though the laughing expression on her face was already gone, the teasing light in her eyes was still there.Which only made Luo Jin much more embarrassed.His face blushing furiously."D-don’t laugh!It’s not as if I want to dress like this."

Su Yuqi’s eyes bent into crescents and a small smile crossed her lips."I know."

Luo Jin stared at Su Yuqi’s pretty face, unable to look away.This was the first time he saw her smile.And what a nice smile it was.He looked away, his face was still as red."Let’s team up," he said directly.

"Okay," Su Yuqi agreed with no hesitation."Who’s going to be the leader then?"

"You do it.You have more experience playing this game anyway."

=====

After they teamed up, they both entered the castle.Based on the role Su Yuqi was playing, there’s no way she would be caught mingling with the illegitimate ’daughter’ of a count.So they had to stand far apart in the ballroom.

Ten minutes after the prince from Crystal Kingdom arrived, the attack from the men in black happened.Then that tentacle monster appeared.And Luo Jin lost sight of Su Yuqi in the middle of all the commotion.

He changed his mind.The person who wrote the story behind this door was not lacking sleep, they clearly had a hole in their brain!

Luo Jin looked around again, trying to dodge people and droplets of slime altogether.

Now where the heck was Su Yuqi?
