Chapter 613: Shen Que and Wu Chong Go Undercover

Chapter 613 Shen Que and Wu Chong Infiltrate

Wu Yue returned to her room and stared blankly out the window. In the Order Chief's realm, even every cloud was precisely placed in a fixed position by data.

This entire place was virtual, a fake world.

It was like the terminal of a game server, where all instance monsters converged when the instance closed.

Wu Yue remembered that the first time she received a resonant signal from Lu Xiu was after the [Intimate Lover] instance.

Her choice of a mechanical body enhancement allowed Lu Xiu to successfully implant a chip in her body.

Before entering the instance, Wu Yue had thought that if this instance was humanity's first strike against the Order Chief's realm, then the Order Chief's realm couldn't possibly have no countermeasures or retaliation.

If the earlier speculations about the Order Chief sharing the same origin of power as her were true, then the retaliation would most likely be aimed at her.

Sure enough,

The Order Chief's last trump card was directed at the child,

This time, it was still the child.

Her mother had exhausted her abilities and could no longer bear children, so Lu Xiu targeted her. He wanted Wu Yue to enter the Order Chief's realm while pregnant.

Birthing a descendant of the Spirit Contractors within the Order Chief's realm, gathering all the evil energy, Lu Xiu would obtain all the child's abilities and reverse the situation instantly.

At the same time, under the impact of such immense power, Wu Yue would die along with the unborn child, forever perishing in the Order Chief's realm. Lu Xiu would completely break the connection of their shared power source and never again believe in her.

Her parents, so many children, years of relentless work, humanity finally ending the apocalypse for good.

The sword of Damocles that had always hung over her head, which hadn't fallen during the Deification Project, was finally falling this time.

It was from that moment on that Wu Yue, using her upcoming menstrual period as an excuse, frequently got intimate with Shen Que.

Coupled with her subsequent capture by the Dark Order and their heightened emotions after surviving the ordeal, they became even more unrestrained.

Even though Shen Que later consciously practiced contraception, the new life had already begun.

Wu Yue laughed mockingly. He must hate her, loathe her. She had schemed against him repeatedly, deceived him, kept him in the dark, doing the same despicable things as the Royal Court.

So, he simply didn't want this child.

Luna seemed bright, passionate, and full of life, unlike her, who seemed always about to fade away.

It was right for him to forget her, to stop loving her. Being with her only brought endless trouble and danger, with no end in sight.

Forget it,

He had long said not to wait for him, that they were over. Why wouldn't she believe it?

Just forget it!

Wu Yue lowered her head, covering her face with a bitter smile. Why wouldn't she believe it?

She had to see him show love to someone else right before her eyes, making herself suffer so much before she could finally give up.

As soon as Wu Yue entered the Order Chief's realm, Lu Xiu immediately removed her Psychic Core to prevent her from using [Mental Allure] and the shared evil energy to seduce and influence him.

Wu Yue was completely isolated and confined. Initially, even Luo Shen and Dylan were barred from approaching her.

Lu Xiu feared that Wu Yue, in her pregnant state, might undergo unpredictable changes in her abilities, feared that she might tap into even greater hidden potential, and even more feared that the ghosts and gods might fall under her influence and help her escape.

Until recently, due to being locked away with no sunlight, the child's constant drain on her energy, and her increasingly deteriorating mental and physical state, she began to frequently think about killing herself.

Just as Lu Xiu had said, Wu Yue had attempted to jump off buildings many times.

Lu Xiu absolutely would not allow any harm to come to the child in Wu Yue’s womb. He had her windows boarded up. Wu Yue, in agony, resorted to smashing her head against the wall, and the situation escalated to a bloody, tense showdown.

Wu Yue was in such excruciating pain that, even without the support of her spiritual power or evil energy, Lu Xiu was repeatedly affected by her suffering.

He grew unbearably irritable, unable to think clearly. Influenced by Wu Yue’s emotions, he had no choice but to send Luo Shen and Dylan to talk some sense into her.

When Luo Shen saw Wu Yue, emaciated and hugely pregnant, her mind went blank, and she broke down in tears.

She gently stroked Wu Yue’s hair, saying, "Sweetheart, you've been through so much.

Sweetheart, if your mother knew you were in such a state, she would be utterly heartbroken."

Wu Yue, half-conscious and disoriented, looked at Luo Shen with confusion and said with a smile, "Sister, you’re so beautiful."

Luo Shen burst out crying right then, her heart aching unbearably. Her precious girl should have been the beloved, doted-on daughter of the Jiang family, a proud Spirit Contractor with unparalleled abilities.

But now, she was imprisoned here, living a fate worse than death.

…

Shen Que rushed back to his residence, slammed the door and went berserk, smashing everything in the room that could be broken.

With each item he destroyed, Wu Chong nervously scrambled to catch them and carefully set them aside.

Once his hands were full and he was even balancing a stool with his foot, he confirmed that the room’s surveillance signals were jammed—all Lu Xiu’s men could hear were the pre-recorded AI-generated fake audio.

In a hushed, frantic voice, Wu Chong pleaded, "Brother!! Please calm down!!

I’ve been pretending to be a woman, acting all girly and disgusting, and even I’m not as worked up as you!! What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

Shen Que’s face was cold as ice. "Did you hear what Wu Yue said? She said she can let go, that we're through, that she and I are done! She’s carrying my child and telling me it’s over!!

The Jiang family didn’t promise it would be like this when they cut their deal with me! Wu Yue’s mother assured me that Wu Yue knew about this and would never leave me—that’s the only reason I agreed to it!

And what happened? She’s pregnant with my child, jumping off buildings, jabbing a sword into her belly!! She might as well have cut me into pieces!

If I had known she was pregnant, if I had known at all, I would never have let her come here alone!!

No wonder that bastard Zhou Qianfeng kept stopping me from touching her—he must have known as soon as she entered the treatment pod!!

Those bastards kept it from me all along! They knew damn well that if I found out, I would never have cooperated with them!!

Seeing her so thin, with such a big belly… Yesterday, that bastard Lu Xiu deliberately made my wife dress like that just to humiliate her!!

From start to finish, I didn’t dare look at her once. One glance and I’d want to die—I couldn’t have kept playing along for even a minute. I still can’t breathe!!

She’s pregnant, her belly is so big, and Lu Xiu still hit her... How could he lay a hand on her..."

She’s so thin, and with such a big belly—how could she go through that kind of pain...

Shen Que’s eyes were red with heartache, his pain unbearable, his entire body trembling like he was living through hell.

Wu Chong replied, "...When I saw Yue Yue with such a big pregnant belly, I was totally stunned too."

No, this undercover mission hits you with a shock right off the bat—the intel discrepancy is way too huge!! It’s pushing his mental fortitude to the absolute limit!!

If they hadn’t already prepared a hundred different scenarios and prepared for the worst-case scenario before coming, they wouldn’t have been able to get through even the first act.

Wu Chong, "Shen Que, you have to stay calm. Lu Xiu still doesn’t trust us. He’s definitely going to make us interact with Yue Yue frequently from now on. If we show the slightest sign of acting strange, he’ll immediately hide Yue Yue away."

"We have to keep our cool, lay the groundwork for the rescue operation, so when the main forces move in from all sides, we can strike with precision in one move."

Shen Que’s mind kept flashing back to Wu Yue sitting alone with her head bowed in the banquet hall. He shook his head slowly, "I’ve waited six months. I followed everyone’s arrangements, did everything they told me to do."

"But now that I’ve ascended to godhood and returned to power in the Order Realm, Lu Xiu can’t just touch me as he pleases."

"From this moment on, how this game plays out will be up to me."

"I've had enough. My wife’s belly grows bigger every day. I can’t let her suffer like this any longer."

"Watching my wife, pregnant with my child, being put through this—I’m nothing but trash. Everything I’ve done in this life is complete bullshit!"

Wu Chong grabbed his head, "General Shen Que!! You’re my commanding officer now!! I’m here to support your mission!!"

"You’re the leader—you can’t just drop everything and lose it! Calm down, damn it!!"

Shen Que’s face was grim, "I need to see my wife alone."

Wu Chong’s anxious heart felt like it was about to have a heart attack, "Sir, have you forgotten why we’re even here?"

"We’re the vanguard!! We’re supposed to help them clear the way!!"

Shen Que glanced sideways, his eyes icy,

"A general in the field is not bound by orders from afar. Besides, given my relationship with Wu Yue, there’s no way Lu Xiu would ever trust me."

"He won’t trust me, but he might try to use you. Rather than waste time playing his games, we should take risks and adapt as we go."

"We can’t keep fighting with the same old strategy. If we just endure passively, he’ll keep deliberately humiliating and torturing Wu Yue. No… this won’t do…"

"Wu Chong, from now on, you do exactly as I say."
