Chapter 445 - 180: Tussle in the Office, Qi Siyu’s Bootlicker_2
This rare high-ground tower must be personally savored. I have to see how it differs from the others...
As Li Yuan moved his mouth away, intent on tasting the flavor of the high-ground tower himself...
Qi Siyu’s body suddenly trembled, turning crimson in an instant, her entire body burning hot. Her mind had been muddled and confused, utterly routed by Li Yuan’s outstanding solo skills, but now, it suddenly regained a sliver of clarity...
"Li Yuan, stop it, don’t..." Qi Siyu called out softly.
On the verge of defeat in this 1v1 solo game, she wanted to make one last effort. She desperately mobilized her other heroes and minions, even using the broken equipment left in the bushes to block Li Yuan.
Li Yuan paid her no mind, refusing to let up his fiery assault and continuing to unleash powerful skills on Qi Siyu’s high-ground tower. He understood the principle all too well: one must press their advantage and never let a cornered enemy go. How could he possibly retreat halfway when victory was in sight, when he was about to seize the final crystal and claim another win?
A 1v1 solo game was exactly like this: there was only advancing, no retreating. The battle would only end when one side’s crystal was broken and the ultimate victory was won.
Soon, a majestic, snow-white tower that soared into the clouds was forcefully breached by Li Yuan. A flag of victory was planted at its peak.
Now that his forces were free, he immediately split them. With one hand, he continued to control Han Tiaotiao, advancing on the other high-ground tower. With his other hand, he piloted his ace hero, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong. Wielding the As You Wish Jingu Bang, he bypassed the high-ground tower, vaulted over the endless jungle wilderness, and went straight for the final crystal, attempting to recapture the fabled Fairyland, Shuilian Cave.
"Demoness, taste my staff!" Li Yuan roared, unleashing his Ace Skill, Monkey Three Sticks, and instantly broke through her layers of defenses to arrive before the final crystal.
When the Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong arrived before the entrance of her Shuilian Cave, Qi Siyu was completely stunned. She didn’t even bother defending the last high-ground tower, instead scrambling to concentrate her remaining forces to protect her crystal.
Once the crystal was breached, the solo game would be a total loss.
"Li Yuan, wait, I’m not ready yet!"
"This is the office, and the door isn’t closed! Someone could walk in! We can’t do this here!"
"Li Yuan, I was just teasing you, playing a joke! Quick, take your hands away!"
Seeing that she was about to lose the solo game, Qi Siyu quickly began to plead, trying to disrupt Li Yuan’s battlefield decisions.
I’m about to conquer the crystal, and now you’re telling me you were just teasing? That this was all a joke, just a practice match? Who tricks someone like that? Li Yuan was speechless.
Li Yuan coughed lightly. "Ahem, Ms. Qi, less talk, more focus!"
We’re in the middle of a fierce solo battle. What kind of hero backs down now?
Qi Siyu was truly panicking now. She could feel her crystal being constantly attacked. From her childhood through graduate school and up to this very moment, this was the first time a member of the opposite sex had ever advanced upon her crystal.
"Li Yuan, I’m begging you, please stop!" Qi Siyu’s voice was already laced with tears. She was genuinely frightened, her beautiful face drained of color, a stark contrast to her earlier bold and sexy demeanor.
She had really just wanted the thrill of teasing him, to test the mettle of this famous campus playboy, this rich, talented, second-generation heir. Who knew she’d end up in so far over her head?
Li Yuan also sensed something was wrong. Qi Siyu’s crystal felt as if no one else had ever attacked it before. The Shuilian Cave was very tight; it seemed a thin membrane was blocking the Monkey King, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven...
He had felt this same sensation recently with Xia Zhijin, Bai Weixi, and Zhong Tingyue.
A jolt went through Li Yuan’s mind as a terrifying possibility bloomed. He immediately stopped his assault.
"Ms. Qi," he asked in disbelief, "you... you’ve never been in a serious relationship before?"
He had assumed a sexy, mature instructor like her, one who dared to provoke him, would be worldly and experienced. Who knew it was all a facade? How could her appearance and reality be so different?
Seeing that Li Yuan had stopped, Qi Siyu breathed a sigh of relief. Her cheeks were flushed as she stared at him, her voice holding a strange quiver.
"I... I was in a relationship once. It lasted less than two months before we broke up," Qi Siyu explained, slightly embarrassed.
"We only held hands and kissed a few times. We never went that far."
How strange, Li Yuan thought. With Qi Siyu’s looks and figure, there should have been no shortage of men pursuing her. She’s truly exceptionally gifted, even more outstanding than Wang Jierong, and far prettier. She could easily be considered campus belle-level.
Moreover, Qi Siyu seemed to be about twenty-four or twenty-five. Apparently, she had stayed on to work at the university right after graduating with her master’s degree, serving as an instructor for his cohort of freshmen.
On the first day of college, at the freshman assembly, he had noticed this sexy, mature instructor. At the time, however, he hadn’t thought much of it, as all his attention was on Xia Zhijin, that sweet and adorable treasure of a girl.
But in the dorm and while playing basketball with Liu Jia, Ren Jun, Yu Shihao, and the other guys, he had often heard them talk about Qi Siyu. Whenever the guys mentioned her, they were like heroes spotting a red or blue buff. Their eyes would light up, and they would practically drool, looking as if they couldn’t wait to claim this ultimate buff and its immense power-up for themselves.
