The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

Just when the opposing side thought that Lü Bu would die a miserable death at their hands, Lü Bu suddenly activated his Swift Step.

"Oh no, I didn't expect his Swift Step to be healed already." Qin Li thought to himself that something was wrong. He originally thought that Lu Bu's Swift Step would not be healed so quickly, but he did not expect it to be healed already.

Lu Bu's speed suddenly increased by several percentage points, and he chased after the low-health Taiyi Zhenren, hacking away. At the same time, his first skill also hit Marco Polo. Marco Polo looked at his health and was surprised that Lu Bu's first skill could hurt so much.

"From this moment on, I alone will rule the battlefield!"

Han Cheng killed Taiyi Zhenren directly, completely ignoring that Taiyi Zhenren had already activated his ultimate move. Marco Polo realized that it would be foolish to fight Lu Bu who was using Swift Step at this time, so he quickly reminded Taiyi Zhenren to leave.

However, Taiyi Zhenren had just revived and hadn't even had a chance to use his second skill to teleport to Marco Polo when he was killed by Lu Bu. Marco Polo, seeing that Lu Bu's Swiftness was about to expire, went to cause trouble for Lu Bu, only to find that Genghis Khan had already stolen the crystal. This was a complete diversionary tactic, which Qin Li had anticipated, but he didn't expect Genghis Khan to push the tower so quickly, and that he was completely carrying the tower on his back, without paying attention to whether there were minions.

"This guy only knows how to hit me..." Xu Xiaomeng looked displeased and glared angrily at Han Cheng, but Han Cheng didn't seem to notice.

"Go, Fatty! Go!" Sun Wukong cheered for Fatty without regard for his image.

The fat man silently buried himself in pushing the tower. Dian Wei was about to respawn, and Marco Polo had already arrived.

Marco Polo used his second skill to dash over, and then used his first skill to fire a burst of bullets. Genghis Khan dodged a lot of damage with his movement skills, but the crystal still had one bar of health left. It would take a few more seconds to destroy it, and during this time, Marco Polo could easily kill Genghis Khan.

Han Cheng silently watched Genghis Khan fighting Marco Polo. He was already low on health, and rushing over wouldn't be of much use. Even if he farmed the jungle to heal, he might not be able to make it in time. His ultimate skill still had more than ten seconds left, so he couldn't provide any support. Now, he could only rely on Fatty himself.

With the minion wave gone, the crystal directly attacked the fat man. With the help of Marco Polo, Genghis Khan's health was down to only one bar. Although the crystal also didn't have much health, it was enough for the fat man to fire two arrows. And now the crystal had already fired a cannon!

"It's over, we've lost, we're going to be wiped out in one fell swoop." Sun Wukong thought to himself, if Fatty dies, without the core damage dealer, there's no way to fight against the fierce Dian Wei on the other side, not to mention there's also Taiyi Zhenren as a support.

However, after that shot, the fat Genghis Khan didn't fall down; instead, he became transparent—that was the passive skill of the Famous Blade Master, [Dark Curtain!].

In that single second, the fat man shattered the crystal!

"Phew, a narrow victory." Han Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fatty, your swordsmanship is really impressive!" Sun Wukong said.

"That's right, who is Fatty?" Fatty said with a smug look on his face.

"Very good, your teamwork is excellent." Qin Li said, "Especially Han Cheng, your critical strike against Lu Bu was very strong. I've heard of this playstyle before, but it's a bit different from yours, not as violent."

"Brother Li, you flatter me. I think we only won because you guys let us win," Han Cheng said.

“You didn’t hold back; you did a good job,” Ye Bing said.

"Little Orange, come here to me," Xu Xiaomeng said with a beaming smile.

"Huh?" Han Cheng asked.

"Don't speak, come here!" Xu Xiaomeng simply waved her hand.

"Okay... fine..." Han Cheng said helplessly, "but you're not allowed to pinch me, squeeze me, or hit me!"

"Do you think I only came to you for this? What kind of person do you take me for, a violent maniac?" Xu Xiaomeng said helplessly.

"Then what do you want to do?"

“Speaking of Xiao Chengzi, cough cough, let’s go outside to talk!” Xu Xiaomeng said.

"Why do you want to go out?" Han Cheng asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, we're going to talk about things that aren't convenient for everyone to hear..."

"Is there something that's not convenient for everyone to hear?"

"Little Orange, I'm asking you one last time, are you going or not?" Xu Xiaomeng said, enunciating each word clearly.

“How can I not go? I have to go…” Han Cheng finally succumbed to Xu Xiaomeng’s tyranny once again.

"Then everyone continue chatting, we need to go outside and discuss something..." Xu Xiaomeng smiled slightly at everyone.

Outside the TOL club.

"Little Orange, you were quite hostile towards me in the game just now, weren't you?" Xu Xiaomeng asked.

"I... I didn't mean to target you. Even if I kill you, it's necessary for the game..." Han Cheng said weakly.

“Stop, I know, Xiao Chengzi, I’m usually good to you, I always scold you, hit you, and threaten you all the time…” Xu Xiaomeng said, “I knew you were thinking of getting revenge on me in the game just now…”

"What do you mean? You've always been very good to me, and even if you've hit me, scolded me, or threatened me, I've never cared..." Han Cheng said.

"Really? Okay then. The reason I'm telling you all this today is because I saw a friend's post on social media. It was about a boy and a girl who were in a relationship. The boy always put in so much effort, but the girl didn't appreciate it and often humiliated him, constantly putting him down. Eventually, they broke up, and the girl didn't think much of it. But then she met another boy and started dating him. This boy wasn't like the first one, always so devoted and attentive. Instead, he frequently argued with her and sometimes even hit her. The girl started missing her first boyfriend, but she knew he would never come back." Xu Xiaomeng talked for a long time, but Han Cheng remained unresponsive.

"What does this post have to do with how you usually hit me, scold me, and threaten me?" Han Cheng asked.

"Didn't you notice how sad this story is? I was almost moved to tears. And didn't you notice how similar the boy and girl at the beginning of the story are to us?" Xu Xiaomeng said.

“Not only is it not sad, it’s also unlike us,” Han Cheng said. “First of all, this story is so overused, we’ve heard it all too many times. Secondly, we’re not like them. First, we’re not lovers; second, you didn’t treat me like that; third, you didn’t end up with that kind of guy later.”

"Uh... Boss, can you not go into such detail?" Xu Xiaomeng was clearly speechless. "What I mean is, through this story, I understand that I must treat you well in the future, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when I really lose you."

"I never imagined our goddess Xiaomeng could be so sentimental. Since you said you'd treat me well from now on, how about sending me a big red envelope first? Don't say a word if it's less than a hundred!"

"All you ever think about is money, money, money! Are you obsessed with money?" Xu Xiaomeng said, raising her claws, but then realized that doing so seemed wrong, so she lowered her claws again.

(Ahem, at the end, Xu Xiaomeng told a story. This can't be considered padding the word count, though. Some readers requested some romance, so the author had to use this story to bring the male and female leads closer. Otherwise, pushing them directly would be too... abrupt...)
