The Return of the God Level Assassin

ON the magnificent stage, the audience was held spellbound by the exquisite dance unfolding before them. Bathed in a soft glow, the 'girl' moved with a grace that seemed to defy gravity, perfectly attuned to the enchanting melodies of the guqin ensemble and the lilting bamboo flutes.

'Her' long, ebony hair cascaded down 'her' back, catching the light and adding a touch of allure to her every movement. Her eyes, a mesmerizing shade of blue speckled with gold, shimmered with a captivating intensity that held the onlookers in thrall.

As 'she' swayed and twirled, 'her' crimson attire spun around 'her' like a vibrant whirlwind. The fabric responded to 'her' every motion, caressing 'her' form and accentuating the elegance of 'her' dance.

The audience, unable to tear their gaze away, marveled at 'her' ethereal beauty. Whispers of admiration spread throughout the stadium, as each observer recognized the extraordinary presence the 'girl' possessed.

The spectators found themselves drawn into 'her' performance, unable to resist the allure of 'her' fluid movements. A sense of awe filled the air, mingling with a profound appreciation for 'her' artistry.

'Her' dance, like poetry in motion, evoked a profound sense of tranquility and longing within the hearts of those watching. The audience couldn't help but be captivated by 'her' effortless grace and the seamless harmony 'she' created with the music.

As the performance reached its climax, a collective breath was held, as if time stood still. The room erupted in thunderous applause; the sound echoing through the hall as a testament to the profound impact the girl's dance had made.

It was not only the players in their private boxes who were in an uproar, those watching the live broadcast could also not calm down.

[WOW! Isn't that too pretty? Who is this performer? Is it a celebrity I don't know about?]

[That's the goddess of Yuexing Pavilion!]

[You're right! I only saw her during the opening of Yuexing Pavilion so I almost forgot how she looked like.]

[How can you forget such a goddess???]

[But seriously, whoever programmed her should receive a raise. That's one heck of a pretty NPC.]

[Is this the first time that Arcadia Cup let an NPC to perform during the opening ceremony? Didn't they usually hire celebrites?]

[Yuexing Pavilion is already like a staple in the game even though it had only opened a few months ago. It's not surprising that they made the NPCs from there to perform here.]

[Oh right, the NPCs playing the guqin and the flute, as well as the back-up dancers, seemed to be all from Yuexing Pavilion. I was so engrossed by Goddess Yuexing's performance that all my attention was on her.]

[Hey, that's a good name, Goddess Yuexing.]

[She should perform with Goddess Liuli! That would be such a sight.]

[That's not a bad idea! Will Goddess Liuli also perform like she did last year?]

At the same time, inside the private box where team Celestials was. Not all the members of the team were there, since it was a pretty big team. Only the main players, as well as the reserved players, were there. Except for Song Liuli, who was currently preparing for her performance. Yes, she would also perform later on.

"Is that girl really an NPC from Yuexing Pavilion?" Qiu Ming asked when he heard some of the players from their team saying that.

"Yes, Brother Qiu," confirmed by one of the team members there. "She also danced during the opening of the Yuexing Pavilion."

"Wait- then Brother Yu and Sister Lili also saw this NPC perform in real time?" Qiu Ming asked, turning towards Duan Yu, who was sitting beside him. He remembered that the two were the only ones who went on the opening of the Yuexing Pavilion.

Duan Yu gave Qiu Ming, the youngest member of team Celestials main players, a sideway glance. When he saw how the other's eyes shimmered as he stared at the 'female NPC', he had to pour cold water on this kid's enthusiasm before it escalated further into something out of control.

"That's a special NPC who rarely appears in Yuexing Pavilion," he said in a lazy tone. "Even if you go there every day, you won't be able to see her."

Qiu Ming was obviously disappointed after hearing that. "Aww... why? The game should take advantage of her popularity and make a backstory about her. Wait- could we request the king to have her as a reward if we win again this year?"

"Stop with your nonsense," Zhong Hui said in his usual grave tone.

Qiu Ming pouted. "Brother Min, look, Brother Hui is bullying me again."

Li Xu Min chuckled and just ruffled Qiu Ming's hair. Then, he looked at the stage again where the female NPC was. He couldn't stop the feeling that the other looked somehow familiar.

Similar conversations occurred in boxes of different teams. But most of them were just expressing their admiration for the beautiful NPC.

The only one that probably had a different atmosphere compared to the others was the private box of team Yunyue.

After the performance, Bai Ze, Su Yuqi, and Luo Jin looked at the fake Luo Yan at the same time. But the one sitting there was a young boy with fox ears instead of a moon elf.

Eclipse smiled at them, totally unaffected. "Did you see? Master is so amazing!"

"Did none of you know about this?" Bai Ze asked, looking at the stage once again where his cousin was.

Luo Jin shook his head. "I have no idea."

"Just when did he have time to even rehearse this?" Bai Ze said in amazement. "No, rather, how did he even end up performing here?"

"More important than that, is Luo Yan really that good at dancing?" Su Yuqi asked with interest.

"No, Master has a skill that lets him dance prettily!" Eclipse said, not hesitating to reveal his master's secret.

Shen Ji Yun ignored all the surrounding conversation. All his attention was focused on the elf on the stage. He truly wanted to just jump down and pull the other to his arms, give him one hell of a kiss and show to everyone that he was his boyfriend.contemporary romance
