The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"I don't know, we'll see," Han Cheng said calmly.

"Little Orange, do you know why I'm doing this? It's because I'm worried that if I don't take the initiative, this happiness will be taken away by someone else. So I try my best to be proactive, hoping... you won't feel disgusted..." Xu Xiaomeng said softly.

"I wouldn't hate you, but I'm not sure if I can make you happy," Han Cheng said calmly. "Having a dream doesn't mean you have a future. I'm afraid I'll let you down in the future."

“It’s okay, I’m not afraid. The happiness I’m talking about isn’t something you’re going to give me. As long as you’re with me, that’s enough.” Xu Xiaomeng said, gently hugging Han Cheng from behind. “I like you that I forget myself.”

"That's going too far, Meng. Not only did you get physical, but you also used English to be sentimental..." Han Cheng said.

Xu Xiaomeng did not speak.

"h**ea-good-dream, sweet." Han Cheng endured the excruciating pain of numbness and said these words, immediately feeling as if his lifespan had been reduced by several hours.

"Okay, An'an." Xu Xiaomeng smiled, but didn't let go of her hand.

"Um, it's getting really hot like this..." Han Cheng muttered, "You should probably let go..."

"No!" came Xu Xiaomeng's resolute refusal.

-

The next day, Han Cheng was awakened by the heat.

When Han Cheng opened his eyes, he found Xu Xiaomeng hugging him tightly. He was glad that his back was to her, otherwise it would have been very awkward.

"Phew, aren't you hot? And is this really okay..." Han Cheng muttered as he released Xu Xiaomeng's hand and gently pushed it away, afraid of waking her up, before finally having a chance to leave to go to the bathroom.

Last night was truly agonizing and torturous for Han Cheng. He couldn't sleep well at all, and he wasn't used to it at all. Moreover, someone was so proactive, even though they weren't planning to do anything, Han Cheng still felt lingering fear.

After quickly washing up, Han Cheng went to check on Fatty and Sun Hou's room and found that the two of them had already gotten up and were playing games there—well, let's just call it training.

"Hey, Little Orange, you're up early." The fat man greeted him.

"You guys get up even earlier," Han Cheng said with a smile.

"Hehe, how did you feel last night, Little Orange?" Sun Wukong asked with a wicked grin.

"What do you mean 'how is it'? It's all painful, how could it possibly be joyful?" Han Cheng scoffed. "It's so crowded I don't even have a place to sleep..."

"Oh, I see. It seems you didn't do anything..." Sun Wukong muttered.

"Pah, what are you thinking..."

When Han Cheng returned to the room, Xu Xiaomeng was already awake and changing her clothes, which immediately made Han Cheng feel awkward...

"Phew, thank goodness I didn't see it clearly!" Han Cheng quickly turned around. He had only seen a patch of white before. Both of them reacted quickly, so Han Cheng felt that he had managed to maintain his image as a gentleman.

"Ahem, Xiao Chengzi, you didn't see anything, did you?" Xu Xiaomeng coughed lightly.

"No way, I didn't even have time to see clearly before I instinctively turned away," Han Cheng said casually.

"Pfft, hahaha, do you want to see it clearly?" Xu Xiaomeng laughed.

"No, I was just saying that to make you believe I didn't see anything..."

……

After a few awkward minutes, Han Cheng and Xu Xiaomeng changed their clothes and went to meet up with Fatty Sun Hou. They planned to have a meal first. As for Ye Bing, Han Cheng thought they should eat first and then meet up with them.

There wasn't much going on today. Along the way, Han Cheng and his group were recognized by a few passersby who said they were fans of Han Cheng and insisted on getting a couple of autographs...

Although Han Cheng was somewhat helpless, everyone else enjoyed it quite a bit, since everyone knows that being admired is a very good feeling.

"Haha, we're not that famous yet, but quite a few people already know us. If we win the Summer Championship, won't we become even more famous?" Sun Hou laughed.

"That's for sure. After winning the championship, our team will become incredibly popular. At that point, we won't have to worry about funding anymore. Naturally, many sponsors will come to us and profit from our star power," Han Cheng said calmly.

"That would be great! Not only would we get a lot of sponsorship money, but we would also become more famous because of these sponsorships," Xu Xiaomeng said with a smile.

“Yes, it’s a win-win situation,” Han Cheng replied.

After everyone had solved their food and clothing problems, they met up with Ye Bing and continued their journey for the day. Of course, today was also the last day, and they had to intensify their training tomorrow. The day after tomorrow was the day of the final battle, and Han Cheng was excited just thinking about it.

So, everyone tried to have a good time that day. Han Cheng decided to go home first, as it would be too late to leave tomorrow. He mainly didn't want to sleep in the same bed with Xu Xiaomeng again.

So, after playing until the afternoon, everyone prepared to go home.

Everyone is naturally taking the competition the day after tomorrow very seriously. Even if they have to play less or relax less, they can't afford to take the competition lightly, because it's the finals and they can't miss it.

Except for Song Ziyi, everyone else had gathered. They chose to walk again. Although the last time they walked there was quite tiring, no one wanted to refuse exercise, especially Fatty and Sun Hou, who insisted on walking back.

The fat guy, in order to lose weight, has lost quite a bit of weight since joining this e-sports game. The high-intensity matches and training every day, coupled with his control over his diet, have helped him lose weight.

As for Sun Wukong, since the fat man said he was leaving, how could he admit defeat?

"Fatty, Monkey, are you tired?" Han Cheng asked casually. Among these people, Han Cheng and Ye Bing were the most physically fit, and they weren't tired at all after walking such a long distance.

But it's hard to say about Fatty and Sun Wukong.

"Not tired!" the fat man replied.

"I felt absolutely nothing!" Sun Wukong shouted.

At this moment, Xu Xiaomeng couldn't help but chuckle. Although she was quite tired, she kept holding onto Han Cheng, letting him support her. Hehe, she wasn't too tired. But Fatty and Sun Hou were clearly exhausted, yet they remained expressionless, all for one thing: showing off...

"Being too proud is a recipe for suffering," Han Cheng muttered.

"Should I save face or risk my life? That dog over there?" Xu Xiaomeng suddenly thought of a line from A Ke.

"Hahaha, dog..." Han Cheng chuckled, after all, this catgirl's enemy was dogs.
