Chapter 446: Shen Que Refuses to Go to the Military Department

Chapter 446 Shen Que Refuses to Join the Military Affairs Department

Walking once again down the corridor where Zhou Qianfeng had once taken him away, Shen Que found himself accompanied not by Vlad but by the newly appointed Alliance President.

The Alliance President, "Have you truly decided to renounce your right to inherit the royal court?"

Shen Que, "Yes."

The Alliance President chuckled, "Wu Yue has the backing of the Jiang family, the Secretariat, and the Daoist sect."

Shen Que, "If it weren't for Wu Yue catching it in time, no matter how many people there were, everyone would’ve been done for."

The Alliance President shot him a sidelong glance, "I've reviewed the royal court's development overview over the years, compiled and submitted by Shen Qingci, including all the matters you participated in handling.

Shen Que, as a descendant of the royal family, you were raised with the finest training from childhood. Your own abilities far surpass what you’ve shown in the royal court.

I’ve heard that the majority of Blaze’s members were recruited during your missions outside. Recently, Blaze members have provided support to both the Military Affairs Department and the Secretariat.

Many of them possess untapped strengths, indicating that you recognized these qualities when recruiting them.

By loaning out all of Blaze to the Alliance, you’re building a pipeline for talent, allowing these members, who may not be the strongest in combat, to have their abilities noticed by those in power. In a time when the Alliance urgently needs talent, they can be recruited as exceptional individuals.

However, this means Blaze will inevitably face dissolution.

All of Blaze’s top members are tied up with other responsibilities. If you give up your right to inherit the royal court now, what are your plans for the future?"

Shen Que replied bluntly, "I’ll just stay with Wu Yue."

The Alliance President, "...Have you considered joining the Military Affairs Department?"

Shen Que said resolutely, "No."

The Alliance President, "I can help you directly transform Blaze into the Blaze Legion."

Shen Que continued to refuse, "No need."

The Alliance President was at a loss for words, "Shen Que, a man ought to have his own ambitions!"

Shen Que gave an example, "Wu Yue’s father is the same way."

The Alliance President gritted his teeth, "Jiang Cheng at least established Sirius! He also maintains the Daoist Sword Tomb!"

Shen Que, "I also established Blaze, the Alliance’s top team."

The Alliance President sighed deeply. Zhou Qianfeng stepped out from the side, "This kid is a rebel through and through and has a fierce temper."

The Alliance President massaged his forehead, "He didn’t act like this in front of Wu Yue just now."

Zhou Qianfeng, "In his eyes now, we’re the villains trying to separate him from Wu Yue. He’s already labeled us as class enemies."

Shen Que looked at the Alliance President and Zhou Qianfeng before him; it was clear they had something to say to him.

Just as Shen Que turned to glance toward his residence, Wu Yue, wearing a coat over her shoulders, stood at the doorway, smiling and waving at him. Shen Que’s previously guarded posture instantly softened.

Zhou Qianfeng was completely fed up, "Shen Que, can’t you have a bit more ambition? You’ve gone soft in the head over this relationship!

With your abilities, if this were before the apocalypse, you’d undoubtedly be the crown prince. Not to mention, your strength is now unrivaled—you’re the Alliance’s strongest fighter.

...Have you ever considered that you might not necessarily end up with Wu Yue forever?"

"Life is so long, you're still so young!"

"When your love for Wu Yue is exhausted, and you lose the right to inherit the Royal Court and Blaze, won't you leave any way out for yourself?"

Shen Que looked in Wu Yue's direction without looking away, "Did Wu Yue ask you to come?"

Zhou Qianfeng shook his head, "After Wu Yue discovered your intentions, she asked me to give you a rational analysis.

As for the Alliance President, he was coming this way anyway, and he respects talent."

Shen Que squinted slowly, "What does Wu Yue mean?"

Zhou Qianfeng, "Wu Yue said that there is no mentor guiding you at critical moments. She doesn't want you to lose your life goals because of your love for her, nor does she want you to regret becoming resentful partners in the future.

Throughout your relationship, no one has considered things from your perspective; everyone has instinctively helped her.

So, she hopes that this time, someone will see things from your perspective and think for you.

Analyze the choices and decisions you are making now from a rational perspective, without the love factor.

Ultimately, the choice is still in your hands; no one has the right to decide someone else's life."

Shen Que looked at Bai Hu and Zhou Qianfeng, "Thank you, Alliance President and Secretary-General, for your concern. I need to talk to Wu Yue first.

Sorry, excuse me."

Shen Que walked toward Wu Yue without hesitation. He directly swept her into the house, pinned her to the bed, and asked her seriously:

"Wu Yue, I just want to ask you one thing: how do you want me to choose?"

Wu Yue looked up at Shen Que, the two so close their breaths mingling.

Wu Yue, "I want you to go to the Military Division."

Shen Que gritted his teeth, "I'm not satisfied with this answer. Say it again."

Wu Yue said helplessly, "Shen Que, we both know that with the rise of the second generation of Alliance leaders, completing dungeons has become increasingly easier. The golden era of rapidly rising through dungeons to gain resources has passed.

Teams were born to fight in dungeons. If a small group of people monopolizes the resources from dungeons, the squeeze on survival space will create a vicious cycle where mid-to-lower-level team members and new teams can never break through. Team transformation is imperative.

Desert Rose collaborates with bounty hunters and the White Tiger Army, Falcon has its military-industrial chain and trade with Vera Town, Sirius has the Jiang family's financial backing, Shadow has merged with the royal court.

Blaze has grown so much through your nonstop work and sacrifices, solidifying its position as the Alliance's top team. You are willing to build a platform for your team members to advance for a better future.

But what about you? Shen Que, you gave up your right to inherit the royal court. Are you even going to abandon Blaze, the team you built with your blood and sweat?"

Shen Que sneered, "Wu Yue, cut the crap. No matter where the members of Blaze go, as long as they return in the future, Blaze’s doors will always be open to them.

Then let me ask you, what do you plan to do after you save your mother?"

Wu Yue, "..." Whoa, that really caught her off guard.

He pinched her cheek, "You’ve been so spoiled by me that you expect clothes handed to you and open your mouth for food. I even have to bring water to your lips.

Don’t think I don’t know—as soon as your parents return, you’ll start coasting, just like you do now, lying around!"

Wu Yue blinked rapidly, "..." How did he know that?

Hold on!

"As the proud daughter of the Jiang family, with both her parents back, she's got brains, skills, and money, does she still need to hustle?

Absolutely not!

Wu Yue shot back, "I have the capital."

Shen Que sneered, "Like I don't have any? I may not inherit the Wangting, but I have other businesses in my name.

Shen Qingci is no fool. A struggling Wangting is still a giant compared to others, and my cut is enough to last me a lifetime.

Your father stayed home for fifteen years, yet everyone still pinned their hopes on him, didn’t they?"

Wu Yue immediately realized: This guy’s no pushover!! He has money and power now!! He doesn’t need fame or achievements to prove himself!!

Wu Yue began racking her brain. So, what is the only weakness that could possibly get to Shen Que?

Wu Yue suddenly stalled... perhaps, maybe, it’s just her.

Noticing the subtle shift in Wu Yue’s expression, Shen Que scoffed, "The only thing I want now is you. Don’t give me any of that empty nonsense—you think you can fool me?

If you want me to go to the military department, marry me right now. Let’s get the license, and you’ll stay by my side forever, forget about your rescue missions. Then I’ll agree.

If you’re willing, I’d go not just to the military, but even to outer space in a heartbeat."

Wu Yue, "..." He’s now using her own tactics against her, standing in her shoes and throwing her past behavior of ditching him right back at her!!

Seeing Wu Yue go quiet, Shen Que unzipped her dress and slipped his hand inside.

"Wu Yue, if you dare pull this again, just see what I do to you."

Wu Yue’s face flushed instantly. Shen Que grabbed her ankle and yanked her back.

Shen Que, furious, kept biting her. "You still want me to join the military? By the time your parents return, I’ll be so busy I won’t even get to see you.

You can’t even cook. Who knows, some random dog might sweet-talk you away then."

Wu Yue whined delicately, "Shen Que, be gentler, you’re hurting me!"

Shen Que immediately loosened his grip, gently massaging the spot where he had hurt Wu Yue.

Wu Yue pouted, "I just don’t want you to regret it later."

Shen Que kissed her. "I know. I’ll never regret it."

Wu Yue dug her fingers into Shen Que’s lower back. "And what ‘random dog’? I’m not so fickle."

Shen Que instantly let out a sharp gasp, clutching Wu Yue’s hand to keep her from leaving.

"Wife, I was wrong."

As their breaths grew heavier, Shen Que and Wu Yue gazed at each other without a word, drawing closer until their lips met in an inseparable kiss.

…

Shen Que, "Wife, dig into me again."

Wu Yue, "No."

Shen Que, "Then I’ll get started."

Wu Yue angrily twisted him hard several times.

Twist him to death! Twist this damn creep to death!

Shen Que, "Babe, you're making me feel so good."

Wu Yue's face flushed red, "Don't say things that sound so wrong!"

....

Shen Que, "Babe, if you dislike me for not having any status, I'll go wherever you want me to go."

Wu Yue, "I don't dislike you."

Shen Que, "Are you afraid I won't be able to support you?"

Wu Yue hugged Shen Que's head as he leaned in, "I have money, I don't need you to support me."

Shen Que began unbuttoning his shirt, "Then you support me. I'll strip naked and serve you every day. I've got no shame."

Shen Que picked Wu Yue up in one swift motion, pressing his whole body against hers.

Shen Que looked at her, "Tell me honestly, do you really want me to go to the military?"

Wu Yue shyly averted her eyes, "No, I just want you to stay with me and not go anywhere. But I feel like thinking this way is wrong."

Shen Que instantly, his lips curved into a smile, his murmured sweet nothings lost in a deep kiss, "I think thinking this way is fucking perfect. It's going to make me die of pleasure."
