Chapter 34: Li Cheng Says Even Dogs Wouldn't Play the Romance Route

Amidst a stretch of Gray Mist, Liuli stared at Li Cheng; although the expression on her face did not change, every inch of skin on her whole body was stretched tight.

Even her toes unconsciously curled up.

How does he know I want to commit suicide?

Which side's Force is he from? The Abyss, or the Church?

Why did he appear here? Countless possibilities flashed through her mind; Liuli's breathing sped up slightly, and a few drops of cold sweat emerged on her forehead.

With a single simple sentence, Li Cheng made this Dragon Daughter who was used to big scenes sweat profusely.

And this was only just the beginning.

Li Cheng crossed his legs, propped his chin on his hand, and looked at Liuli with interest.

After playing Liuli's route countless times, he knew very well what kind of Contradiction lay hidden in the depths of this Dragon Daughter's heart.

She had lost all her Relatives, shouldered all the hopes of the Storm Royal Family, yet she herself was being eroded by the Abyss.

Even so, she could not reveal the slightest flaw; she had to maintain the Royal Family's Dignity at all times, otherwise she would be destroyed by the omnipresent Abyss, otherwise she could not command the subjects in the storm.

Persisting for 45 years under such circumstances, Liuli's heart was already riddled with holes.

On one hand, she was resilient, Elegant, confident, proud, believing that she alone could handle everything well.

On the other hand, she was Confused, fragile, sensitive, longing for a shoulder to rely on, longing for someone to guide her direction forward.

Two completely different inner selves appeared on one woman; it seemed inconceivable, and actually was indeed inconceivable.

Who knows how the Game Producer came up with such a Defying Heaven Persona.

But still have to say, very charming.

And very angsty.

As a High Player, Li Cheng knew too well how to make Liuli develop a favorable impression of himself.

Simply put, this Storm Queen with a personality defect needed not only a Lover, a friend, but even more a father.

He propped his chin, smiled warmly, and began his performance: "Giving up on life is not a good option."

"Heh."

Liuli crossed her legs, straightened her Waist, and folded her pair of jade hands on her Thighs.

As a superior, she hated Li Cheng's preaching Tone.

In her view, everything this man did today was dancing in a minefield.

If he couldn't give her a reasonable Explanation, then Liuli didn't mind letting this Dragon Clan member who popped out of nowhere stay here forever.

She had this confidence.

"Mr. Li Cheng, you are a bit too confident. I don't know where you heard this information, but Obviously, that's just boring rumors."

"Is that so?" Li Cheng still smiled very warmly: "Then what is the End Dagger in your hand for?"

Hearing these words, Liuli's Pupil suddenly contracted, and the expression on her face finally changed.

Damn it... why does he even know about the End Dagger?

Why does he know everything about me?

Wavering emerged in her Pupil.

The End Dagger was a Weapon she had seized from the Abyss; it was said to be a divine artifact that could kill even gods who lack the Conceptual Power of death.

This matter, like her intention to commit suicide, was known by absolutely no one.

Seeing the Dragon Daughter's wavering, Li Cheng repeated: "No matter what, giving up on life is not a good option."

"Hah..." Liuli took a Deep Breath.

Her heart was pounding; she really wanted to directly explode and blow the head off this Bastard who only knows how to Recite.

But a thought rose in her heart.

If... this man really has a Method to Deal With the Curse in her body? After gritting her teeth a few times, Liuli suddenly laughed: "I don't know where you got this information, but these things have nothing to do with you, so be Direct — what exactly do you Want?"

Indeed, once her thoughts were pierced through, she would want to seize back the initiative in the conversation... Li Cheng revealed a Warm smile: "Do you know, Liuli, right now you are just like a Little Girl."

"What do you mean?"

"Clearly wanting a Gift, yet unwilling to ask directly. Clearly longing for a Method of salvation, yet unwilling to plead to me." Li Cheng narrowed his eyes: "You're even unwilling to call me Fa—"

The next instant, a strong wind Interrupted his words.

Liuli rushed to In Front of him, one hand braced on the sofa beside him, the other hand already transformed into a Dragon Claw, pressed against his throat.

His features were reflected in those bizarre Dragon Pupils; a swollen full snowball rubbed against his chest.

The distance between the two was only a few centimeters; Li Cheng could even smell her Warm breath.

But what lingered between the two was not Sweet Words, but icy threats.

"Don't put on such an Appearance of understanding me."

"Heh." Li Cheng still smiled warmly, using a Finger to push away her Dragon Claw: "You are just This Way — sensitive, uneasy, Dare Not face your own heart; the Curse makes you very painful, right? Painful to the point of wanting release."

"I already said, don't act like you understand me!" Liuli raised her Dragon Claw again; a Terrible Ability gathered between her claws: "You don't understand anything at all."

I understand perfectly, after all I repeatedly Save/Load just to achieve your route's Perfect Ending, busy for dozens of hours front and back, only to end up with nothing...

Li Cheng shook his head: "Guess why I participated in the gladiatorial fight?"

Liuli frowned; she couldn't figure out why this man suddenly switched topics.

"Because I'm the same as you." Li Cheng looked at her expressionlessly, reached into Lilith's bra and took out the Dragon Transformation Stone.

The Abyss Curse contained within it, others couldn't sense, but Liuli, as a fellow Dragon, naturally could feel it.

It was a Curse Power similar to the one on her.

Her Pupil slowly dilated, and the expression on her face grew increasingly Complex.

"I am also a cursed Dragon." Li Cheng smiled Warmly: "The Curse I suffer is the Curse of bitter battle; I must constantly walk the line between life and death, only thus can I maintain clarity."

"Otherwise, I would Lose Control, triggering a Dragon Calamity."

"So, I understand you. I understand you better than anyone else in this world."

Liuli listened to those words in a daze, her raised dragon claw slowly lowering.

She truly hadn't expected Li Cheng to tell her such a truth. All the unreasonable parts now had an explanation.

Why a member of the Dragon Clan would come to engage in a duel.

Why Li Cheng, during combat, didn't dodge at all, willing to let the enemy pierce through his chest.

Why his appearance when fighting was so eerie and terrifying.

So it turned out, he was the same as her, a cursed dragon too!

Then, how long had he endured?

10 years, 20 years, or 30 years? "Over 100 years." Li Cheng's voice suddenly resounded.

"100... years?" Liuli looked at him in disbelief.

"Have you heard of the Dragon Calamity in Tal Simwick Territory?" Li Cheng smiled bitterly.

"You mean that Tal Simwick Territory which was eroded by the Abyss and has already disappeared from the map?"

"That's right. That was the beginning of my curse. I lost everything there — my father, mother, wife, children... everything, all left behind on that day."

Li Cheng's words were completely made up on the spot.

The game did indeed have the event of the Dragon Calamity in Tal Simwick Territory.

But the mastermind behind all this had long since been eaten by the Abyssal Dragon.

He said this merely to increase the credibility of his words.

"You also lost everything..." Liuli thought of herself.

She thought of all the grievances, all the pain, all the loneliness she had suffered over these 45 years.

So there really was someone in this world who could empathize with her.

A thin layer of mist surfaced in her eyes; she blinked, suppressing the urge to cry.

"Now, I think I have the qualification to understand you. What do you say?" Li Cheng gazed into Liuli's vertical pupils, revealing a bright, sunny smile.

Liuli pursed her lips, didn't speak, but her mood grew increasingly complex.

45 years of curse was already this painful, let alone 100 years.

The loneliness of losing loved ones was that unbearable, let alone personally killing everyone she cared about.

Yet after experiencing all this, Li Cheng could still show such a bright smile.

For a moment, Liuli didn't even know what expression she should make.

And Li Cheng suddenly fiercely embraced her waist, pulling her into his arms: "I'll save you, Liuli."

This sudden scene stunned Liuli.

She lay on Li Cheng's chest, suddenly feeling a sense of absurdity.

I actually... am lying on a man? The dignity of a Queen made her want to push Li Cheng away immediately.

But after meeting a kindred spirit, her heart yearning for warmth made her a little reluctant to let go of this moment's tenderness.

Just as she was conflicted, suddenly a heat flow surged out from inside her body.

The curse on her body seemed unable to be suppressed, spilling out; scorching hot breath filled her nasal cavity, emitting a pleasant muffled groan.

A pair of dragon horns faintly appeared atop her head, and dragon scales also surfaced on her body.

The Abyss Curse inside her body had actually lost control.

How could it happen at this time...

Liuli only felt her whole body powerless, unable to even speak; her hands pushed against Li Cheng's chest, wanting to escape from his embrace.

Unexpectedly, Li Cheng held her even tighter: "If you want to cry, just cry. From today on, you're not alone anymore."

Liuli opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but had no strength at all, only able to say haltingly: "No, don't... let go, let go..."

"Don't let go? Don't worry, I won't." Li Cheng held her very tight.

"Tight, no..."

"Not tight enough? Okay, no problem." Li Cheng held her very tight.

"I... can't take it..."

"You're enjoying it? Okay, got it." Li Cheng froze for a second, then held her even tighter.

"You... you bas... tard... I'll kill you..." Liuli squeezed out a complete sentence with all her strength.

"What did you say? I couldn't hear." Li Cheng indicated he hadn't heard, and held her even tighter.

Right at this moment, the intense curse reached its peak, and Liuli could no longer control herself, letting out a delicate moan.

The corner of Li Cheng's mouth slowly curved upward.

The development of events was exactly identical to what he had thought.

That's right, that series of rhetoric just now was all groundwork, the purpose being just to let Li Cheng hug Liuli once.

With the help of the curse on the Dragon Transformation Stone, how could Liuli's beautiful body, which had guarded itself like jade for 45 years, possibly withstand Li Cheng's hormones at such close range?

Under this interference, Liuli would display her most lewd posture! Simultaneously, that curse power would also fully erupt.

And coincidentally, the Dragon's Source Essence granted Li Cheng an ability identical to the Abyssal Dragon —

【You can absorb the pollution on cursed Dragon Clan members, enhancing your own strength.】

This whole body of curse on Liuli would become bait for Li Cheng to transform into a dragon, awaiting his tasting.

Oh no, should say awaiting his purification.

All conditions were now gathered; it was precisely the moment for the Evil Path Speedrun.

Do side quests to grind goodwill, stay by Liuli's side, taste sweet romance on one hand while accompanying her to remove the curse, then get rewards afterwards?

How could that compare to the thrill of piercing through her defenses in one strike, then ruthlessly establishing a relationship, crazily circling behind to ram her?

Love Line? Hesitant and coy,

Erotic Line, simple and crude! Big Boss expressed that he had had enough of those tedious formalities.
