Chapter 314: Shen Que Protects His Wife and Publicly Addresses Wu Yue's Heartache

From the moment these ghosts started chirping, Shen Que had been suppressing his irritation to focus his attacks. But when Luo Shen appeared and immediately called Wu Yue "sweetheart," he finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Seriously, even if you're a woman, you can't just call his wife "baby" right off the bat!!

He hasn’t even called her that yet!!

Just as Shen Que finished his ultimate move, he exchanged a glance with Jiang Huaizhi and signaled him to hold aggro for a while.

Shen Que stayed at a moderate distance from the boss, continuing his attacks while listening in.

He recognized that the spirit deity Wu Yue had summoned, Luo Shen, was the same SSS-level ghost they had encountered in the Fox Spirit dungeon.

The same female ghost who had been all over his wife in the elevator!!

Seriously, even as a ghost, how can you have as little sense of boundaries as the Jiang family when it comes to other people’s wives?!

Luo Shen frowned as she scrutinized Wu Yue head to toe, inspecting her thoroughly.

"This won’t do. If not for your bloodline keeping you alive, you would’ve died countless times already. Your body is physically drained!"

Wu Yue waved it off casually. "Right now, the most important thing is figuring out how to add a Spirit Contractor’s seal to this spirit doll. Otherwise, once the Spirit Summoning Talisman’s time runs out, you’ll have to return to the Order Realm."

Since the Pinnacle War, Luo Shen had been trapped in the Order Realm and had no clear understanding of what had happened during that battle.

Luo Shen looked puzzled. "Baby, don’t you know the Spirit Contractor’s seal?

What’s going on? That lazy woman Lu Ling didn’t even teach you this?! What the hell has she been doing all day?

She didn’t come to get me, fine, but she didn’t even properly teach you?! No matter how rich the Jiang family is, you can’t just abandon the Spirit Contractors’ skills!!"

Wu Yue stared at Luo Shen, opening her mouth but unable to speak.

Shen Que turned and called out to Jie Chen, "Cover me. I’ll be back soon."

Jie Chen replied, "No problem."

Shen Que quickly moved to Wu Yue’s side and looked at Luo Shen.

"During the Pinnacle War back then, her mother was lost, their family legacy was lost, and she was separated from them by accident, left to fend for herself as an orphan for fifteen years.

She was only recently found by the Jiang family. Don’t interrogate her like this—she’s already in poor health, mentally unwell, and she’s suffering enough as it is."

Luo Shen stood frozen for a long time after hearing Shen Que’s words.

Suddenly,

she lowered her head and whispered:

"Yes, I remember now.

Because I wanted to protect Lu Ling, the doll I was possessing shattered.

A supreme ghost deity stabbed through my skull, and ever since then, my memory’s been spotty."

Wu Yue looked as if she had been hit like a truck, her pupils instantly clouded over.

Jiang Yuhua watched Wu Yue’s stats skyrocketing, his heart in his throat.

"Damn it, the barely stabilized data! Baby Sis's psychic energy is spiking again!

The ghost spirit that couldn’t be summoned all this time just had to appear now, and of all the dangerous missions, it had to be during the most critical moment of the critical battle!"

Jian Suiyu, "Send Shen Que a message immediately—tell him to knock Wu Yue unconscious."

Jiang Mubai, "Would he really lay a hand on Baby Sis?"

Jian Suiyu snapped, "Does Shen Que actually want to marry Wu Yue in a spirit marriage? Is he so out of his mind that he’d rather die than live properly?

If Wu Yue really collapses from her psychic energy spiking because of Luo Shen’s appearance, do you honestly think he wouldn’t slaughter Luo Shen, Jiang Huaizhi, and Jiang Qian without hesitation?!"

Before Jiang Yuhua could even signal, Shen Que noticed Wu Yue’s psychic energy surging uncontrollably. Without hesitation, he delivered a sharp blow to the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious.

Jiang Qian gasped, "Shen Que, what the hell was that?!"

Shen Que held Wu Yue in his arms, his gaze icy. "Do the Jiangs even care about their daughter anymore?

If not, I’ll leave with Blaze and take her right now, and you’ll never find her again in this lifetime."

Jiang Qian, "What do you mean? Of course we want her!"

Shen Que, "Then haven’t you noticed she’s on the verge of breaking down because of her mother?

Ever since she learned about the Climax War and her origins, she’s become a completely different person. She’s always trapped in her thoughts, training relentlessly, terrified of stopping even for a second.

She was injured in the castle and the arctic, yet she hid it from everyone and kept pushing forward without pause.

She’s convinced she’s indebted to all of you—like every kindness she receives is only because she’s Lu Ling and Jiang Cheng’s daughter. She’s paralyzed by it!

Think about it, Jiang family—when has she ever asked for your help as herself? The secretariat, the Daoist order, the Jiang fortune—has she ever taken a single cent?

The one time she asked for your help was to retrieve my parents’ ashes. And even after going to such lengths, she still hesitated for so long before accepting my confession.

Why?

Because her parents were torn from her, because of her crippling guilt—she doesn’t dare enjoy her own life.

She was once so firm in walking her own path, but now she’s driving herself to the edge!

But do any of you know what she endured all these years?

How much suffering she endured? Wasn’t she fighting alone for 15 years too?

She had just barely convinced herself to open up, to accept everyone’s help, and now she’s been pushed back into isolation!"

Shen Que glared darkly at Luo Shen. "If you weren’t her ghost, I’d cut you down where you stand."

Luo Shen stared at him in surprise, then it clicked.

"You’re that kid who appeared in the Order Realm with Baby Sis back then.

No wonder a human could enter the Order Realm—you were with her for the final stage of the Breeder’s Trial.

So you’re… Baby Sis’s husband?

Not bad, kid. You’re handsome, and you know how to protect your wife. My Baby Sis has good taste!"

Back in the day, Luo Shen had been the ultimate matchmaker for Lu Ling and Jiang Cheng’s love story—their biggest cheerleader.

After all these years, she's still as powerful as ever.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Que, who had been ranting about destroying everything, went completely blank for a second at Luo Shen's words.

Shen Que blinked, "I take back what I just said."

Damn, you're actually making sense. Keep that up and maybe I'll let you live.

Luo Shen said, "You go deal with the Boss first, I'll handle the kid."

Seeing Shen Que's nervous expression, she rolled her eyes hard,

"Relax kid, I'm more worried than you are! Do you think you're the only one who cares?

If that woman Lu Ling knew her daughter was suffering so much because of her, it would destroy her."

Luo Shen didn't elaborate further, ending the conversation there.

She began treating Wu Yue. As a thousand-year-old Luo Shen with SSS-level healing abilities, the moment she unleashed her full healing power, everyone present immediately sensed the massive healing wave.

Even just the healing spillover from treating Wu Yue was more than enough for everyone's injuries.

Jiang Qian simply stopped healing, picked up his weapon, and charged forward to join the fight and help burn the boss down.

Finally,

As the Boss's health was depleted and it collapsed with an earth-shaking boom,

Luo Shen faded from view, and Wu Yue slowly opened her eyes.
