Chapter 920: Ruler of Esports 34

At this moment, Qiqi was thinking to herself—

That “Heart-Wrenching Egg” is definitely streaming right now.

If her own Li Bai didn’t stand out this match, and instead Tang Wan’s Sun Shangxiang stole all the spotlight, wouldn’t her viewers start drifting away?

That was unacceptable.

If her popularity dropped, her income would follow.

With that thought, Qiqi’s expression sharpened slightly. She focused more intently, silently deciding—this round, I have to carry.

…

Meanwhile, the enemy jungler Sun Wukong had already begun targeting Tang Wan.

Sun Wukong was a terrifying burst assassin. In the late game, a single staff strike could delete a squishy target instantly.

Fortunately, Fan Tong’s support play was impeccable. He constantly checked bushes and controlled vision, keeping Tang Wan relatively safe.

Still—

Trouble came quickly.

Sun Wukong appeared out of nowhere and slammed Taiyi with a heavy strike. At the same time, Kai activated his ultimate and charged forward, blade dragging behind him.

“Tong Tong, fall back!” Tang Wan reacted instantly, rolling toward the river.

Taiyi repositioned just in time, sticking close to her and retreating together toward the tower.

It wasn’t cowardice—

Kai in ultimate form could shred a marksman in seconds.

But the enemy pressed forward aggressively.

With full health, Kai flashed forward, raising his blade to finish Sun Shangxiang.

At that critical moment, Taiyi stepped in front of her without hesitation, using his body to block the damage. His second skill detonated, stunning Kai in place.

Tang Wan seized the opening.

She rolled sideways toward the wall and fired.

A clean burst of damage landed.

The stun ended—Kai swung again at Taiyi—

But before he could finish him, the combined damage from Taiyi and Sun Shangxiang took him down first.

Kai fell.

However, Sun Wukong immediately followed up.

A single strike—

Taiyi dropped.

The next second, Sun Wukong turned toward Tang Wan.

Her first skill was still on cooldown—she had no immediate escape.

But thanks to Taiyi’s earlier protection, her health wasn’t critically low. Even after taking the hit, a thin sliver of HP remained.

Just enough.

Her cooldown refreshed.

With perfect timing, she rolled again—

And fired.

Sun Wukong, already low from the skirmish, was instantly taken down.

At the same moment, Taiyi revived on the spot.

…

The livestream exploded.

“Holy—this play!”
“That Kai died so miserably!”
“What kind of fairy romance is this? A support sacrificing himself like that?!”
“Taiyi blocking damage was INSANE!”
“66666!”

…

Tang Wan let out a small breath of relief and returned to base.

At this moment, Fan Tong’s voice carried a faint smile. “Wan Wan, how was my support?”

“Extremely good,” Tang Wan replied without hesitation, her tone genuine. “Tongtong, your support is amazing.”

“How about I just play support for you from now on?” he said casually.

Tang Wan paused.

“…Aren’t you usually the carry?” she couldn’t help asking.

“You can’t stay by your side all the time if I’m the carry,” Fan Tong replied immediately, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Even in-game—

He wanted to stay close and protect her.

Tang Wan’s cheeks warmed slightly.

It felt like he intended to stick with her constantly.

After a brief pause, she lowered her voice. “Oh… okay.”
