Chapter 612: I’m Starting to Ship You Two

Chapter 612 I'm Even Starting to Root for You Two

With a "pierce," Dylan turned and shielded Wu Yue, the sword thrusting through his back. Wu Yue's pupils instantly went blank with shock.

Her eyes glazed over as she looked toward Noah, filled with utter defeat and despair.

Noah coldly sheathed his sword and looked coldly toward Lu Xiu. "How does the Order Realm deal with Ghosts and Gods who dare to challenge authority?"

Lu Xiu replied, "They are cast into the Eight Cold Hells to suffer the branding punishment."

Noah withdrew his gaze, his voice cold. "Then why not send someone to do it now? Or should I just kill him directly?"

Lu Xiu hesitated for a moment, considering that if all the Ghosts and Gods around Wu Yue were to die, her mental state might collapse completely, leaving no leverage to control her, and she might resort to a final, desperate act.

He ordered, "Dylan has defied Lord Seraph. Cast him into the Eight Cold Hells."

"Yes."

Luna walked worriedly toward Noah and gently touched his cheek. "Are you hurt?"

Noah held her hand and shook his head. "Let's go."

The two walked away arm in arm. As they passed Wu Yue, her entire being was enveloped in eerie stillness, not a sound to be heard.

After a while, she slowly stood up and walked toward the building's elevator.

As she entered the elevator, Zhou Chuan froze at the sight of Wu Yue and averted his gaze.

This sister used to be so spirited and confident when she tackled dungeons, but now it seemed all her vitality had been drained. Her face was numb and broken, devoid of any liveliness, yet she was still pregnant...

Lu Xiu really is a piece of work...

And he wasn’t any better... enabling a monster.

Thinking about Noah and Luna partying every night... that scumbag ex-husband was even worse!!

Wu Yue spoke softly, "Please press the button for me."

Zhou Chuan replied, "Okay, where are you going?"

Wu Yue said, "I'm going back to my room."

Zhou Chuan swiped the elevator to the 9920th floor for Wu Yue and watched as she stepped out and walked toward her room.

Watching... watching... he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Just before the elevator doors closed, Zhou Chuan slammed the door-open button and rushed out. He saw Wu Yue standing by the window on the 9920th floor of the Order Building.

In the night of the Order Realm, the air was completely still. Wu Yue turned to look at him. "Please pass a message to Luo Shen and Dylan for me: stop resisting and follow Lu Xiu's orders."

As soon as she finished speaking, in Zhou Chuan’s widened pupils, Wu Yue jumped down the elevator shaft.

"Someone, quick!! Wu Yue jumped!!"

Noah and Luna had just stepped out of the Order Building arm in arm when they heard Zhou Chuan's voice. Both stopped abruptly.

Luna looked worried. "Is Miss Wu Yue going to be okay?"

Noah shook his head, "Don't bother, someone'll naturally come to save her. Let's go."

Even as he said this, his body was already leaning toward the door.

Luna grabbed Noah, "Noah, Miss Wu Yue is, after all, pregnant with your child. Just abandoning her like this..."

Noah’s expression darkened, his face gloomy, and his gaze toward Luna was filled with a bone-chilling murderous aura and overwhelming anger,

"You’re still hung up on it, aren’t you? You care that I’ve been with someone else before. Even though I’ve always told you I’ve forgotten, that now there’s only you in my heart, you still have doubts about me."

Luna subtly shot him a look,

"It’s not like that. I’m just afraid Miss Wu Yue might die from jumping from such a height."

Stick to the script, man! We’ve acted this far—you’ve got to hold on, ah ah ah!

Noah hissed through gritted teeth, "Couldn’t care less if she dies."

Seeing Noah’s expression, Luna spoke cautiously, "Noah, I won’t say it again. Don’t be angry."

Lu Xiu listened without a flicker of reaction to their conversation, then instantly appeared at the base of the Order Building, catching Wu Yue with ease.

Lu Xiu sneered, "Sis, how many times have you jumped now and still haven’t given up?

If you think you can kill the child in your belly, forget about it. I can’t wait for the birth of that child.

No matter what, even if you die, I won’t let anything happen to the child in your womb."

As Siren appeared, Wu Yue was escorted back to her room. As she passed by Luna and Noah, Luna looked at her with concern, while Noah’s gaze didn't so much as glance at Wu Yue.

....

Early the next morning,

Wu Yue was made to join Lu Xiu, Noah, and Luna for breakfast.

As soon as Wu Yue sat down, Lu Xiu looked at Luna, "Miss Luna, I never did hear about the love story between you and Lord Seraph that was mentioned earlier."

Luna glanced shyly at Noah, "I’m afraid if I talk about it, Noah might get mad."

Lu Xiu, "Lord Seraph surely can’t be that petty, can he?"

Noah, "If he wants to hear it, tell him."

Luna, "Actually, I met Noah by chance while capturing mutant beasts in the wild. At the time, I was almost in danger, and Noah saved me.

Noah seemed very downcast then, a complete mess. We briefly accompanied each other on our journey.

Later, I joined the Alliance Military, and coincidentally became Noah’s subordinate. Noah helped me a lot and taught me many things. As we worked together and spent time together, feelings gradually developed between us.

Later, during a solo mission, I was ambushed by vampire bandits and almost violated. Luckily, Noah showed up just in time to save me.

But unfortunately, by then, I had been infected with the vampire virus for too long, and even the antidote had lost its effect.

If Noah hadn’t implanted an SSS+ queen ant Psychic Core in my mind at the critical moment, I wouldn’t have survived.

Noah always shows up to save me at the most crucial times. To me, he’s truly like a god.

After that, Noah left the military for me. To not be treated like freaks, we eventually found a way to the Order Realm by beating a dungeon run."

Lu Xiu feigned surprise, "An SSS+ queen ant Psychic Core—Yue Yue, wasn’t that your kill?"

"To think Lord Seraph actually gave it to Miss Luna—his new lover."

Wu Yue said nothing.

Luna cautiously looked up at Wu Yue, "Miss Wu Yue, Noah and I didn't meet until after you'd left the human world."

Wu Yue nodded, her tone indifferent, "You're well-suited for each other."

Luna said, "...Thank you."

The atmosphere grew uncomfortably quiet as everyone quietly continued their meal.

Lu Xiu, "Yue Yue, now that I look at it, Miss Luna really does resemble you a bit."

Wu Yue put down her knife and fork and looked at Lu Xiu, "Lu Xiu, don’t say such things. It makes you sound pathetic."

Lu Xiu gasped, "What did you say!"

Wu Yue, "Everyone is born unique. No one resembles anyone else. Don’t deliberately make such provocative comments to create drama and pit women against each other. Don’t drag uninvolved people into the conflict."

Lu Xiu sneered maliciously, "The lover who swore undying loyalty to you has changed his heart just like that. Doesn't that bother you? Doesn't it hurt?

And he even found a stand-in to rub in your face. Doesn’t it disgust you?

Do you know they spend every night together—"

Wu Yue interrupted him calmly, "There are plenty of men in the world, but there is only one me.

Nobody is like me. I'm one of a kind."

Wuyue stood up, "I'm done eating. I'm leaving."

Luxiu called out to her, "Since you've regained your clarity, let's put our engagement on the agenda."

Wuyue glanced at him, "Though I can't understand why you're so fixated on a ghost marriage, I won't marry you. Not in a million years. You can kill me, but I will never marry someone I don't love."

Luxiu sneered, "They've already changed their heart and abandoned you, flaunting their affection right before your eyes. What act of deep, tragic love are you putting on now?"

Wuyue found Luxiu truly amusing. She turned to face him directly.

"Regarding my past relationship, I ask myself, did I do my best? I did, and I have no regrets. I poured all my love into that relationship, and I've already grieved over it. It ends here.

In matters of the heart, one must be able to let go as well as hold on.

But Luxiu, whoever I end things with is none of your business. I could remain single for the rest of my life, but I will never agree to marry you. Don't you just want my child and not care about my life?

Well, then, I don't want the child either. Go ahead and take it from me.

Luxiu, if you're a man, be ruthless. Otherwise, I'll look down on you."

With that, Wuyue turned and left.

Luxiu's gaze followed Wuyue's retreating figure, unable to regain his composure for a long time.

So cruel... This woman is always so cruel to him...

Even now, her resolve hasn't been broken!

She's all alone, and he wants to see how long she can hold out!!

Noah caught Luxiu's intense, dark, and obsessed gaze fixed on Wuyue. His eyes narrowed dangerously.

He forced himself to look away from the direction Wuyue had left, but the red bloodshot eyes betrayed his already deranged mind.
