Chapter 645: Shen Que’s Harsh Words Push Luo Shen and Dylan Toward Lu Xiu

Chapter 645 Shen Que Deliberately Uses Harsh Words to Turn Luo Shen and Dylan Toward Lu Xiu

Luo Shen and Dylan had just emerged from the Eight Cold Hells when Zhou Chuan brought them to see Lu Xiu. Luo Shen wore an expression of fierce determination; she'd rather die than surrender.

"I refuse to see that little punk! If he has any guts, he can just kill me!"

Dylan said, "...You just got out. Don’t you want to know how Yue Yue is doing?"

At those words... Luo Shen’s face twisted with grudging acceptance. "Fine, I’ll grudgingly see him once, but that doesn’t mean I’m bowing to his tyranny!"

Dylan nodded, "Right, you didn’t lower your head. Your crown's still on straight."

Shen Qingci and Su Mo completed their mission and returned to 9970. With these two keeping Wu Yue company, Wu Chong seized the first chance to stir up trouble for Luo Shen and Dylan.

Dressed to the nines, he walked up to Luo Shen and gave her a smug, contemptuous smile.

"Lady Luo Shen, I hope you found your stay in the Eight Cold Hells... to your liking?"

Seeing this "Luna" made Luo Shen’s blood boil. That fake-innocent white lotus act was right up there with Freya’s!

Noticing that Luna was still a Top Order Official, Luo Shen cursed inwardly:

That good-for-nothing Lu Xiu can’t get anything done! All this time and he still hasn’t managed to kill a flying rat and a firebird!

Total waste of space! All those years raising him were wasted!

Luo Shen turned her face away proudly, acting as though Luna didn’t exist.

Whether in the human world, where she was a ghost immortal nurtured by a century-old, prosperous aristocratic family,

Or in the Order Realm, where she was Lu Ling’s close confidante and practically a mother to Lu Xiu—if she didn’t feel like acknowledging someone, who would dare disrespect her?

Seeing that Luo Shen ignored him, Wu Chong gave her mental props. This sister, fresh out of hell and still so defiant, was clearly impulsive and easy to manipulate!

Wu Chong tagged along shamelessly with Luo Shen and Dylan into the elevator, putting on airs.

"Lady Luo Shen and Lord Dylan might not know yet—Noah is now a Celestial Order Official."

Luo Shen instantly flew into a rage. "You mean that two-timing, heartless ex has taken Ling Ling’s position as a Celestial Order Official?!"

Dylan’s ears were ringing from Luo Shen’s outburst. He tried to calm her, "Be realistic. With Shen Que’s abilities, it makes sense that he—"

Luo Shen viciously clapped a hand over Dylan’s mouth. "Shut up, or I’ll slap you."

Dylan, "..."

Wu Chong chuckled. "Not only is Noah a Celestial Order Official now, he even took Miss Wu Yue."

Luo Shen and Dylan both turned pale. "What did you say?"

Wu Chong smiled. "I said, Noah hates Miss Wu Yue deeply now. He took her from Order Chief specifically to—"

He enunciated each word slowly, "—make Miss Wu Yue suffer, unable to live or die."

Watching Luo Shen and Dylan’s expressions darken to the extreme, Wu Chong let out a spiteful laugh using Luna’s face, then got off the elevator at floor 9970 and left.

Luo Shen was about to charge after Luna and tear her mouth to shreds, but Dylan stopped her. "Let’s see Lu Xiu first. We can't trust what that woman says."

...

They arrived at Order Chief’s office.

Lu Xiu looked up to see Luo Shen and Dylan both with gloomy expressions, his expression unreadable.

"I hope the punishment of the Eight Cold Hells will make you always remember your place, so you don’t overstep again—"

Before Lu Xiu could finish, Luo Shen rushed over and yanked him by the collar.

"Lu Xiu! How could you let Yue Yue fall into the hands of that scumbag Shen Que!!"

Lu Xiu, caught off guard and dragged by the collar, was about to erupt in anger, but upon hearing Luo Shen’s words, his expression turned thoughtful.

"How do you know?"

Luo Shen fumed, "That little bitch Luna told us! She said Yue Yue was taken away by Shen Que, and Shen Que hates her so much he wants to torment her!"

Dylan held Luo Shen back and looked at Lu Xiu. "What did Shen Que do to Yue Yue?"

Lu Xiu replied, "He shoved his hand into my sister Wu Yue’s shoulder. My sister bled a lot."

There was one thing Lu Xiu didn’t mention—Shen Que had also taken Wu Yue to get a haircut so ugly it’s an outrage.

Luo Shen let out a sharp, shrill scream. "What did you say? Shoved his hand into her shoulder?! You mean he ripped open the skin and muscle of her shoulder and dug his bare hand into the wound, stirring it around?!"

Lu Xiu nodded. "Yes."

Both Luo Shen and Dylan instantly began breathing rapidly, their faces turning ashen.

Luo Shen said, "I need to see Yue Yue immediately."

Lu Xiu responded, "9970 is completely Shen Que’s turf now. The moment I go, he’ll appear. Even I can’t see Yue Yue anymore."

Luo Shen was furious. "Use your authority to demote him! Send your men after him! Do it yourself! What are you waiting for? Didn’t you say you love Yue Yue?"

Lu Xiu, "..." Wasn’t it you who told me to get lost as soon as you saw me?

Women—so fickle!

As the atmosphere in the office grew tense, Luo Shen glared at Lu Xiu irritably.

"If you hadn’t always tried to force Yue Yue, things wouldn’t have come to this."

Lu Xiu smiled bitterly. "I know I was wrong. The priority now is to get my sister out of danger. The human world has sent two more artificial gods, both of whom have had it out with my sister before, and they’re Chu Cixie’s people. My sister is in real danger now. Can you two figure out a way to see her and get her away from Shen Que’s influence?"

As Dylan listened to Lu Xiu, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. But seeing Luo Shen’s determined enthusiasm as she agreed loudly with Lu Xiu and began loudly making plans, Dylan chimed in, "Yeah, alright."

In any case, they’d have to see Yue Yue first before deciding anything.

Luo Shen and Dylan took the elevator to 9970. As soon as they stepped out, they bumped right into Shen Que and Wu Chong.

Both of them were playing their parts perfectly, all duty and flawless acting.

Shen Que's face was cold and expressionless, "What do you want?"

Luo Shen angrily walked up to Shen Que, "I want to see Yue Yue!"

Shen Que scoffed, "What? Lu Xiu doesn't have the guts to confront me openly and directly, so he sent you?"

His gaze scornfully fell on Dylan, "Was the previous injury not enough, or was the punishment of the Eight Cold Hells too light? Didn't it make you remember?"

Dylan looked grave, "Shen Que, Yue Yue has done nothing wrong to you. Revenge has its master; the one who forced her was Lu Xiu. If you seek revenge, go after him."

"All this time, no matter how many times Lu Xiu erased her memories, she never developed any feelings for him. Her heart has always belonged to you."

"Since you have someone new by your side now, part on good terms. Let Yue Yue go."

Shen Que tilted his head, his expression cold, "She's carrying my child; that's how she wronged me."

Luo Shen found Shen Que utterly unreasonable, "If she weren't carrying your child, would she have come here all by herself?"

"Would you only be satisfied if Lu Xiu forced her to carry his child instead?!"

"Is that the only way she can be a perfect victim in your eyes?"

Anger flashed in Shen Que's eyes. His cold, vicious stare fixed on Luo Shen, and the Heavenly Fire igniting around him made Dylan instantly shield Luo Shen protectively.

Shen Que glared menacingly at Dylan, "Take this woman and get out, or I'll kill you both like I did the wolf-dog and snake demons!"

"Then no one would dare come before me, relying on Lu Ling's connection to bother me with point fingers and chatter nonsense."

"Get this straight: if it weren't for Wu Yue trying to save her parents, would I be where I am today with her?!"

"I haven't even come after you yet, and you dare to act so entitled with me?"

With that, Shen Que turned and walked into the room without looking back.

Leaving only Luo Shen and Dylan standing there, their expressions grim, stiff, and frozen.
