Chapter 239 Clearing the Wilderness (2)

At the SX championship celebration banquet a year later, Duan Ye once again made a surprising move.

In front of everyone, he knelt on one knee, took out a simple yet dazzling diamond ring, and looked up at Ji Wanqing, who was both surprised and delighted.

"Ji Wanqing," his voice trembled slightly with nervousness, but his eyes were incredibly firm, "I've already achieved the best in the e-sports world. Now, all I need is you. Will you marry me?"

There are no fancy words, only the simplest sincerity.

Ji Wanqing looked at him, and memories of their time together flashed before her eyes, from his silent support in the live broadcast room to his earth-shattering confession on the world stage, and then to their gentle companionship in the mundane details of daily life.

Tears blurred her vision, but she nodded forcefully, her voice choked yet clear.

"good!"

Duan Ye put the ring on her finger, stood up and hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear amidst the cheers and blessings of the crowd.

"My sunny days are finally mine forever."

From then on, a warm little sun forever lived in the world of the aloof jungle king.

-

Life after marriage was simple yet warm.

Ji Wanqing did not completely leave the live streaming industry; she simply stopped working as hard as before as she had as she had as she had as a union boss.

She reduced the frequency of her live streams, devoting more time to her family, self-improvement, and enjoying time alone with Duan Ye.

For her, live streaming has transformed from a means of making a living into a window to share her life with old friends, a way to relax and have fun.

Duan Ye remains active in the professional arena, still the fearsome jungler who strikes terror into the hearts of his opponents. Even when he's not playing on the field, he's still a figure feared by countless people as a coach.

But no matter how busy he is with training and competitions, he always puts his family first.

Their home was no longer just a place used for live streaming by Ji Wanqing, but a warm and spacious residence filled with their shared memories.

Two top-of-the-line computers were placed side by side in the study. One was used by Duan Ye to play games with Ji Wanqing when he was at home, and the other was used by Ji Wanqing to broadcast live occasionally.

One Friday evening, Duan Ye had an internal review meeting, and Ji Wanqing, having nothing to do, thought that she hadn't chatted with her fans in a long time, so she impulsively started a live stream.

Honey! You finally remembered the password!

[Missing person returns!]

What are we playing today? Want to duo queue with Zaishen?

The live chat was instantly flooded with comments from longtime fans who had rushed to the scene.

"Good evening everyone," Ji Wanqing greeted with a smile. "He has something to do with the team tonight, so I'll just play by myself. It's been a while since I played ranked, so I'm a bit rusty. Please don't laugh at me."

She logged into the game and chose to fill in for solo queue.

I wasn't very lucky; when I went in, there was only one jungler left.

Ji Wanqing's jungling skills are considered good among streamers, but there is still a gap between her and the top players, especially since she hasn't practiced for a long time and is rusty.

"Ah... jungling," she wrinkled her nose in annoyance, "I'll do my best, but don't blame me if I mess up."

She chose a jungler that was relatively strong in the current version, but had a high skill ceiling.

After the game started, the early stages were relatively stable. She carefully farmed the jungle and tried to gank, but she didn't make any outstanding plays, nor did she make any significant contributions.

However, as the game progressed into the mid-game, the opposing jungler was clearly a skilled player, controlling the tempo of the game and frequently invading her jungle, counter-jungling, and controlling dragons, leaving her feeling suffocated.

Ji Wanqing's teammates started to get a little impatient.

Dark Sovereign (Everyone): [Our jungler is a girl, right? If you don't know how to play, don't take her position.]

Spear of Revenge (All): [Wandering around jungling? The enemy jungler has ganked bot lane several times already?]

Aatrox (team chat): [Can't you see the ping? Is the jungle your backyard?]

Some haters and casual viewers in the live stream also started stirring up trouble.

[As expected, women are just not suited to jungling.]

[If you're not going to broadcast anymore, just retire peacefully and stop causing trouble for others.]

The quality has dropped so much; it's an eyesore.

Ji Wanqing pursed her lips, maneuvering her hero to evade the enemy's pursuit. Her face was a little pale, but she still tried her best to keep her tone calm.

"My bad, my bad, this was my fault. I haven't played in a long time and I'm really rusty. Everyone, stay calm, we can still win."

Just then, the study door was gently pushed open.

Duan Ye returned after finishing his reconnaissance.

As soon as he walked behind Ji Wanqing, he saw the scrolling taunting comments on the screen, her slightly furrowed brows, and her underdeveloped and struggling jungler hero in the game.

His gaze instantly darkened.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice, his hand naturally resting on the back of her chair.

Ji Wanqing sighed, feeling a little aggrieved, "I was assigned the jungle role and got completely destroyed, and I got yelled at."

Duan Ye didn't say anything, but leaned down, one hand on the edge of the table, and the other hand covering Ji Wanqing's hand holding the mouse.

"Get up, I will do it."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a reassuring power.

Ji Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then obediently stood up and gave him her seat.

Duan Ye sat down, adjusted his chair and keyboard, and stretched his fingers. His eyes instantly sharpened, as if he had switched from a stay-at-home husband to an FMVP on the field.

【？？？】

[Is the God of Childhood here?]

[Holy crap! A substitution on the spot?!]

[The show's about to begin, hahaha!]

At this point, the game had been going on for more than 20 minutes. Duan Ye, who was taking over as jungler, was almost a full item behind the enemy jungler in terms of economy, putting the team at a disadvantage overall.

But his face remained expressionless. He quickly glanced at the equipment and levels of both sides, his mind racing as he began to re-plan his strategy.

He abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to fight the opponent in the jungle. Instead, he used extremely tricky vision and route selection to avoid the opponent's sharp edge, and frantically plundered lane resources and side lane tower plates. At the same time, he accurately predicted the opponent's jungler's next move and commanded his teammates to carry out a successful counter-gank. They not only killed the opponent's overly aggressive support, but also took the opportunity to secure a key dragon that had just spawned, thus stabilizing the situation slightly.

That's an amazing mindset!

Clearing the jungle is as easy as breathing!

[You could tell the difference from the moment Zai Shen appeared!]

In the next few minutes, Duan Ye demonstrated to everyone what professional-level jungle dominance looks like.

His every appearance was perfectly timed, and every skill he unleashed was deadly.

He took advantage of his opponents' eagerness to expand their advantage, set up a series of traps, and fought several team fights where he was outnumbered but outgunned. Through his superb skills and god-like awareness, he gradually turned the tide of the early game and made up for his huge disadvantage.

In a crucial team fight around the Dragon pit, he controlled a hero who was initially underdeveloped. He infiltrated behind the Dragon pit and, at a critical moment when the enemy team had gathered and used up most of their skills, he flashed in and unleashed a smooth combo, instantly killing the enemy's core carry. He also used his invulnerability to avoid fatal crowd control and disrupted the enemy's entire formation.

Teammates followed up with damage, resulting in a beautiful 1-for-5 exchange, and then secured the Baron!

[Penta Kill! Penta Kill!]

[Aaaaaaah! Pentakill! Zai Shen is awesome!]

[What did I just witness?! A comeback from a 3,000-point economic deficit to achieve a pentakill?!]

Is this really the same hero?!

The gap between professional and ordinary players...
