Chapter 630: Lu Xiu Loses His Temper Over Lost Signal Channels

Chapter 630 Lu Xiu, Frantic Over Lost Signal Channels

As Wu Yue packed her things, her heart felt heavy and choked up.

Her thoughts were all jumbled up—she didn’t know what she was thinking, or if she was thinking at all.

It wasn’t until Wu Chong knocked twice, urging her to hurry, that Wu Yue finally stumbled to the door looking lost.

Wu Chong immediately stepped in with an anxious expression. "Yue Yue, let’s go quickly. We don’t want to run into her and have Lamia get the wrong idea."

Wu Yue exhaled deeply and nodded. "Mm."

From start to finish, until Wu Yue stepped into the elevator, Shen Que didn’t even glance her way, much less stand up.

Following Wu Chong to 9960, Wu Yue had just stepped out of the elevator when she saw another elevator carrying a decked-out Lamia ascending upward.

In that brief moment their eyes met, Lamia flashed her a smug, scornful smirk, her gaze lingering on the floor where the elevator finally stopped—9970.

Wu Yue’s gaze went blank; the heart that had just begun to beat again now felt bleak and sorrowful.

What had she been fooling herself about? How could she have thought Shen Que was still head over heels for her?

How laughable she was—he was already moving on, yet she still couldn’t move on.

She was carrying his child, and he had taken care of her out of affection but within bounds. Shen Que had made his stance clear, yet she had still read too much into it.

Work... yes, it was just work. Shen Que had said it was work, but she insisted on believing it was an excuse to get closer to her.

That was why Shen Que had asked her to move out—to completely sever her illusions.

How pathetic she was, wanting to have her cake and eat it too, pretending to cut ties while secretly holding onto hope.

And now, with his proper new lover showing up, she... she couldn’t help but goddamn fume. Why the hell did it have to be a snake, of all things?!

She had taught him so well—if he had found a decent girl, she would have gritted her teeth and blessed them through her tears. But instead, he went and settled for a wicked woman!

What was the point of having such beautiful eyes if he couldn’t see clearly? If he's not using them, he should donate them to someone who did!

Wu Chong cautiously observed Wu Yue, who kept her head lowered. Sensing her emotions had reached a boiling point, he launched into his rehearsed speech:

"Yue Yue, you don’t need to worry too much. Shen Que is doing all this willingly.

To rescue you from the Order Realm as soon as possible and win over the Top Order Officer, Shen Que is willingly selling his charms."

Wu Yue turned her head abruptly. "What did you say?"

Seeing that Wu Yue had taken the bait, Wu Chong continued, "Yesterday, when you came back upset, Shen Que was really worried. But he didn’t dare approach you directly, afraid you’d explode and cut ties with him completely.

But he’s also in a hurry. You know how outnumbered and vulnerable we are right now, with Lu Xiu watching us closely. To get you out of the Order Realm quickly, Shen Que decided to win over Lamia by using his looks.

Shen Que can tell you don’t want to be with him anymore, but he said as long as you’re happy and living well, he’s willing to do anything—even if it means sacrificing himself."

Noticing Wu Yue remained silent with her head down, Wu Chong sighed:

"Shen Que is just like Xiu Li back then—making all the arrangements and taking care of everything for you. But he respects your choices and won’t force his will on you.

He said that, more than love, what you need now is to find yourself again. He’ll quietly stand by you and unconditionally support every decision you make.

Even if it means doing something against his own will, as long as it brings you happiness, he’d consider it sweet."

Wu Chong spoke, squinting sideways at his communicator to make sure his lines were delivered correctly.

Wu Chong peeked at Wu Yue, acting nonchalant as he started moving her things. "I only have one room here. From now on, you take the main bedroom, and I'll sleep on the sofa.

Shen Que might have to... ~~entertain clients~~ from now on—no, I mean continue his work.

It's not good for your health to stay in that smoke-filled and chaotic environment while you're pregnant."

Seeing Wu Yue still motionless with her head down, Wu Chong feigned comfort,

"Yue Yue, you really don't need to worry. This is all Shen Que—"

Wu Yue suddenly looked up, walked over to Wu Chong, snatched his ID badge, and dragged him to the elevator. Her face was cold.

"Scan the elevator for me. I'm going to 9970."

Wu Chong nervously said, "Yue Yue, Shen Que told me not to tell you about this. If you go now, I'll definitely—"

Wu Yue snapped, "I said scan the elevator!! If Shen Que dares to do anything to you, he'll have to deal with me!!"

Wu Chong immediately replied, "You got it!"

With a "beep," he scanned for the 9970 elevator and watched as Wu Yue stormed into it, with murder in her eyes.

Wu Chong continued being a troublemaker from behind. "Talk things out properly! Try to convince Shen Que—this line of work isn't good for his health!"

As soon as Wu Yue left, Wu Chong didn't even bother moving her luggage anymore.

No point wasting the effort. Even if these two didn't make progress in their relationship this time, that asshole Shen Que would definitely find some excuse to bring Wu Yue back.

...

***

Lamia arrived at 9970, stepping into Shen Que’s room with seductive grace and flashing him a coquettish glance.

She thought the mighty Seraph was so devoted, acting all lovey-dovey at the banquet, only to accept her friend request right after.

She had just sent him a few photos and teased him a little, and he invited her over.

Lamia smiled with satisfaction, deliberately stringing him along:

"Lamia: I heard Miss Wu Yue lives with you. Won't it be awkward if she sees me?"

"Noah: She moved out."

Seeing his response, Lamia was utterly pleased and smug. Men are all the same—she loved the thrill of taking another woman's man.

Lamia swayed her hips as she walked toward Shen Que. Shen Que watched her step into the room with a cold, grim expression.

This bitch is polluting the room. He'd have to thoroughly disinfect it before Wu Yue moved back in.

Lamia seductively tried to lean into Shen Que’s embrace, but he effortlessly sidestepped her.

Shen Que kept his distance. "Order Officer Lamia, I asked you here because I want you to side with me in impeaching Lu Xiu."

Lamia looked at him with a bewitching gaze and stated bluntly,

"Getting me to help is simple. I want to be your bedmate."

Shen Que shook his head. "Impossible." Lamia smiled with smug satisfaction. "Lord Seraph, you know exactly what I want. Since you invited me here, why play dumb?"

"Western gods and demons are inherently lustful. You already have two women; adding me won't make a difference, isn't that right?"

As she spoke, Lamia slowly approached Shen Que, her infatuated gaze fixed on his face, smiling with a seductive charm.

Shen Que slowly turned his head to look at Lamia. The moment their eyes met, Lamia's eyes lit up with excitement.

...

Wu Yue stepped into the elevator, which was originally heading directly to the 9970th floor, but it slowly stopped at the 9936th floor.

Seeing Lu Xiu's figure appear outside the elevator, a look of disgust flashed in Wu Yue's eyes.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Lu Xiu stood outside, smirking nastily at Wu Yue.

"Sister, are you going to see Lord Seraph?

Unfortunately, I just saw Lamia heading to see him too. If you go now, I’m afraid you’ll interrupt their... enjoyment."

Wu Yue remained silent, ignoring Lu Xiu and jabbing at the elevator’s close-door button.

Lu Xiu blocked the elevator door, preventing Wu Yue from leaving.

"Sister, why do you think Shen Que would still want to be with you now?

Look at yourself—how can you compare to the stunningly beautiful Lamia? He’s just putting up a front, pretending to be devoted. I could say the same things too.

But so what? He says one thing and does another.

He claims he’s never changed his heart, yet he turns around and makes plans with another woman.

What is there left about such a man that’s worth holding onto?"

Wu Yue frowned fiercely and shoved him back. "Get out of the way! With that filthy mouth of yours, even if you weren’t stirring up trouble, people would still think you’ve been poisoned dumb."

Lu Xiu snatched Wu Yue’s shoulder.

"Wu Yue, stay away from Shen Que, or I’ll make you experience.

What it feels like to deceive your lover over and over, to betray him, abandon him, and lose him—how painful it is!

The more you love him, the more I’ll torment your love.

I want you to see clearly how fragile love is.

How quickly hearts change!"

Wu Yue shoved Lu Xiu away hard, revealing an icy, piercing smile.

"Lu Xiu, you should also know something.

Before you make threats, you should have the strength to back them up. Only then will your words be convincing.

Otherwise, all talk and no action just makes you look like a useless piece of trash.

Lu Xiu, the way you’re driven to desperation, acting vicious and ruthless yet utterly powerless—it’s just pathetic."

Wu Yue jabbed the elevator’s close-door button. Through the slowly closing doors, her expression was dark and twisted.

"Let me guess what has you so worked up that you’re trying to gaslight me, brainwash me, break me to your will, getting me to abandon my own will and choose self-sacrifice.

Could it be that, after an entire day, you still have not a single lead about how Shen Que and the others established a communication channel with humans?"

Seeing Lu Xiu looked like he'd seen a ghost, Wu Yue sneered.

At the same time, the elevator ascended, heading toward the 9970th floor.
