Chapter 457 Chopped Up and Tossed in the Fridge

Chapter 457 Chopped Up and Tossed in the Fridge

After a week of non-stop work, the Alliance has initially restored order. World City has reopened, and its residents could move around freely again.

Meanwhile, the commercial district in World City and Central City was back in business.

As soon as Wu Yue woke up, Shen Que immediately swooped in, "Honey, time to get up. We're going to try on wedding dresses and buy rings today."

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Wu Yue was hurried by Shen Que to finish breakfast. It was clear that Shen Que had been itching for World City's trade to reopen.

Shen Que took Wu Yue to the Victoria Wedding Dress Shop, where Jiang Yuhua had previously tried on dresses. The entire shop had been booked out exclusively for her.

Chun Ya, Jiang Yuhua, and Xiya were already waiting there and immediately greeted Wu Yue upon seeing her.

Wu Yue turned to look at Shen Que, who quickly said, "I didn’t contact them. I asked Jian Suiyu to do it."

Chun Ya blinked, "Don’t worry, Shen Que is a real gentleman."

Wu Yue, "..." She was just a little touched that Shen Que had arranged everything in advance.

Considering this was only an engagement, Wu Yue chose a white gown and a formal dress. With the help of the staff, Chun Ya, and Xiya, she put on the dress and pulled open the fitting room curtain. Shen Que, waiting outside, immediately stepped closer.

Seeing Wu Yue in a white gown walking slowly toward him under Victoria’s enormous crystal chandelier, Shen Que felt dazzled, as if floating on clouds.

He had called her "honey" so many times, and now she was finally wearing a wedding gown for him, truly about to become his wife.

Wu Yue looked up at him nervously, "Do I look good?"

Shen Que’s eyes reddened, and he couldn’t help but wrap his arm around Wu Yue’s waist, leaning down to kiss her, "You look beautiful, absolutely stunning. You’re the most beautiful in the world."

Wu Yue lowered her head shyly, smiling, as Shen Que leaned in and kissed her cheek.

Jiang Yuhua coughed from behind, "Keep it PG, guys!"

Chun Ya nodded, "We overworked grinders can’t handle you two being all lovey-dovey like this."

Wu Yue pushed Shen Que away bashfully, but he enveloped her hand and pulled her into his embrace, completely ignoring their teasing.

What did it matter? She was his wife, and he would kiss her if he wanted to.

Xiya sighed, "I think Captain Shen is totally into Yue Yue. Being together every day is like sending a lamb into a wolf’s den."

Wu Xiuli, who had just finished her tasks and arrived a step later, teased, "Absolutely. I bet he’s been smitten since the World Boss battle. Back then, the way he looked at her was already clingy and disgustingly lovesick."

Wu Yue, too embarrassed by the comments, pushed Shen Que away and turned back into the fitting room to change into another dress.

Shen Que, "..." He had only asked Jian Suiyu to find someone to accompany Wu Yue to try on wedding dresses. Why did he bring a whole army?!

Shen Que stood outside the door, feeling as if the air had grown thin and suffocating.

He moved to the side, keeping his distance from all of his wife’s girlfriends.

Wu Xiuli suddenly asked, "Shen Que, do you plan to integrate Blaze’s members into the Alliance?"

Shen Que, "Yes. The higher-ups of Blaze all have their own important responsibilities. Blaze’s overall structure no longer fits the major trends of the Alliance’s development. At this point, disbanding and streamlining is the best way out for Blaze’s ordinary members."

Wu Xiuli, "Then have you asked Wu Chong where he wants to go in the future?"

Shen Que: "He said he wants to go to the Military Department."

Wu Xiuli turned in surprise: "The Military Department? With that physique of his?"

Shen Que: "Earlier, the Military Department and the Secretariat were competing, with warriors and mages like fire and water. The first thing the new alliance did was break down the barriers between warriors and mages.

The Military Department now needs a large number of mages for support. Wu Chong's abilities are particularly suited for group battles against mutant beasts, so going to the Military Department is indeed the best path for him."

Wu Chong's earlier combat style, combining witchcraft with firearms, was actually arranged by Wu Xiuli, including the cooperation between Desert Rose and the White Tiger Army, which was part of her foresight.

Wu Xiuli recognized the limitations of warriors and mages fighting independently and had a long-term vision, making her true general material. So she immediately understood that what Shen Que said was correct.

If it weren't for protecting Wu Chong, Wu Xiuli wouldn't have remained outside mainstream power all these years. It was this great sacrifice that allowed Wu Chong to grow rapidly in a short time.

Wu Xiuli's gaze shifted thoughtfully: "Which team is he joining?"

Shen Que: "The Western Division, alongside Li Yiran. One is an SSS-level warrior, the other an SSS-level mage. Together, they can perfectly replace the White Tiger's role.

The alliance will soon hold the S4 Commendation Ceremony, at which all corresponding transfer orders and recruitment notices for talents will be issued, alongside promotional events for team and individual invitation matches."

Shen Que originally wanted to stay by Wu Yue's side and not concern himself with anything else, but after realizing the Order Master's possible intentions, he immediately contacted the White Tiger and Zhou Qianfeng.

Even while staying with Wu Yue, he could still handle many matters.

Wu Xiuli fell silent, lost in thought.

Shen Que glanced at Wu Xiuli. Honestly, everyone knew why Wu Chong was suddenly striving to go to the Military Department and for whom, but he didn’t want to get involved.

His wife hadn’t given him any instructions, and he didn’t quite understand the situation between those two, so Shen Que simply kept his mouth shut.

Not long after, Wu Yue emerged wearing a silver, shimmering, high-slit, strapless evening gown.

Under the reflection of the crystal chandelier, she was sparkling brilliantly. As Shen Que approached, the silver light from Wu Yue’s dress and his silver-white hair complemented each other.

Everyone exchanged glances, smiled, and tactfully excused themselves, giving the two complete privacy.

Wu Yue felt a bit embarrassed under Shen Que’s intense gaze: "Do you want to try on a suit too?"

Shen Que immediately nodded: "Yes."

Shen Que selected two suits that matched Wu Yue’s gown. He led her into the fitting room and had her sit while he changed.

After putting on a silver suit, Shen Que walked over to Wu Yue, knelt on one knee, and extended his hand. As soon as she placed her hand in his, he pressed a devout kiss to it.

Moved by Shen Que’s serious manner, Wu Yue leaned forward and kissed his hair.

Shen Que looked up, visibly touched, both their eyes slightly reddened. He pulled Wu Yue into an embrace.

"Wife, I love you."

Wu Yue wrapped her arms around Shen Que’s neck: "I love you too."

Shen Que, happy, carefully kissed her neck, being careful not to ruin her makeup.

Shen Que winked at Wu Yue: "They’ve all returned to the Blaze base to help set up the proposal venue. Should I help you change?"

Wu Yue: "...But we’re out in public."

Shen Que: "I know. I won’t do anything improper."

The moment these five words came out of Shen Que's mouth, Wu Yue knew he must be up to something!

But seeing how happy Shen Que looked right now, Wu Yue crooked her finger at him. Shen Que immediately leaned in, wrapped his arms around her from behind, and took a photo of the two of them with his phone.

After taking the photo, Shen Que could finally relax and nuzzle against Wu Yue's cheek.

Wu Yue kept leaning back from Shen Que's kisses and pushed him, "Don't ruin my dress."

Shen Que, "I'll just kiss you once."

Wu Yue, "..." Every time he says that, his hands never stop!

After canoodling in the fitting room for a while, Shen Que finally let go of Wu Yue. They changed out of the selected outfits, and Shen Que took Wu Yue to the shopping street.

Seeing how excited Shen Que was, ready to splurge on her and max out his credit card without hesitation,

Wu Yue couldn't resist playfully teasing him. She affectionately linked arms with Shen Que and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Gege~ If we’re out like this, wouldn’t your wife mind?"

Shen Que’s expression instantly went completely blank. He turned to look at her in confusion. At that moment, there were no other customers in the store, and all the staff’s eyes instantly snapped toward them.

Shen Que blinked repeatedly, his face quickly flushing red as he realized Wu Yue was initiating a completely new kind of roleplay.

Watching Wu Yue wink at him, deliberately teasing him and enjoying his flustered reaction,

Shen Que simply pulled her close, lowered his head, and told her:

"Oh, don’t worry about it.

I’ve already killed her, dismembered her, and stuffed her in the fridge."

Wu Yue, "..." You psychopath!

Everyone in the store immediately looked away.
