Chapter 647: Keep Playing the Scumbag

Su Mo reminded him in a timely manner, "...Qingci, killing like this, isn't that too much?"

Thinking back to Shen Qingci's past feat of wanting to kill thousands of pregnant women, with these three people gathered now, how many would be left in the Order Realm?

Shen Qingci, "...When two armies clash, casualties are always hard to avoid."

Shen Que nodded, "I hope the alliance understands the difficulty of our work."

Wu Chong, "Kill, kill, kill!"

Anti-war advocate and peace ambassador, Su Mo, "..." She felt out of place here.

Su Mo tried to smile, "In any case, since Yue Yue finished assembling the unmanned detectors, let's first locate these departments."

Wu Chong operated the drone, while Shen Qingci and Su Mo assisted him in the search.

The stealth drone flew around the outer perimeter of the high-level association building, scanning the terminal area of the instance creation department layer by layer through the external glass.

Shen Que watched for a while but didn't make a breakthrough yet.

He quietly pushed the door open and entered Wu Yue's room, closed it behind him, and saw Wu Yue curled up under the covers.

Shen Que climbed onto the bed, pulled her into his arms.

Wu Yue, still drowsy, was about to struggle but, sensing Shen Que's familiar scent, instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest.

Wu Yue's voice was muffled, with a nasal tone, "Are you done?"

Shen Que murmured 'yes', holding Wu Yue tighter, "Does your head still hurt?"

Wu Yue nodded, "Yes, it's very uncomfortable. I feel sick."

Shen Que kissed Wu Yue's temple, "Sleep a little longer. I'll heal you."

As the healing energy flowed steadily into her temple, Wu Yue gradually felt better and much more comfortable.

She gently touched Shen Que's face, "I'm fine now."

Shen Que, still worried, continued healing her for a while and then told Wu Yue what had just happened with Luo Shen and Dylan.

Shen Que, "You can't see them from now on. Is there anything you want to say to them?"

Wu Yue thought for a moment and shook her head, "What needed to be said, I already asked Zhou Chuan to convey when I jumped off the building."

Hearing the words "jumped off the building," Shen Que felt a chill run down his spine. He held Wu Yue tightly, "Why did you keep jumping off the building again and again?"

Wu Yue, "Only by doing so could I have a few brief seconds to see the outside world and have a chance to escape. When I couldn't even protect myself, I had to prioritize my own safety over the child's life. This child probably also knows I'm a very selfish mother, which is why it tried to end its own life through fetal demise."

Listening to Wu Yue's voice full of desolation and loneliness, Shen Que felt as if his heart were being cut by a knife.

Even though they both knew what the optimal and best choices were... losing this child would become a piercing, bone-deep thorn in Wu Yue's heart forever.

Shen Que whispered solemnly into Wu Yue's ear, "Wife, trust me. I will do everything in my power to protect you both."

Wu Yue held Shen Que's face, gazing into his eyes, "I trust you, honey. Go to work."

Shen Que, "..."

He was fuming, face cold—such a warm and tender atmosphere, and she didn’t even kiss him, just pushing him off to work!!

Seeing Shen Que holding her without a word and unwilling to leave, Wu Yue smirked.

Wu Yue peered at him, "What’s wrong?"

Shen Que turned his face away, "How come you didn't kiss me?"

Wu Yue blinked, "This is a workplace, everyone’s a colleague. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to just make out with you."

Shen Que said angrily, "Why wouldn’t it be appropriate? I’m your husband, you’re my wife, you can kiss me however you want!"

Wu Yue held back a laugh, "General Shen, why do you always blur personal and professional lines?"

Shen Que nodded, "That’s just how I am. When I was a team captain, I wanted to hit on female squad members; as a general, I want to get closer to mission targets. True love is all-powerful—this is an uncontrollable love that could topple cities. What’s the problem?"

Wu Yue burst out laughing, "I really don’t know how you held back at the royal court."

Shen Que’s kiss landed on Wu Yue’s nape, "Couldn’t hold back at all. Went crazy missing you, could only crave you like mad, just like now."

Shen Que kissed her, then pressing Wu Yue onto the bed. Their eyes locked, breaths mingling, as he leaned in for a searing, lingering kiss.

His slender fingers intertwined with Wu Yue’s, their hands clasped tightly together.

Shen Que slid his arm around Wu Yue’s waist and leaned in closer. Wu Yue pushed him shyly, "Shen Que, come on! There are people outside! They’re working, and you’re getting handsy here!"

Shen Que held Wu Yue, kissing her cheeks and the corner of her lips, tracing a path down to her neck.

His voice was hoarse, "I’m not doing anything, just kissing you. Wife, if you’re tired, keep sleeping. I’ll take care of you, I’ll sing you to sleep."

Shen Que’s hand slipped into her pajamas. Wu Yue’s consciousness grew hazy from his kisses. Shen Que drew her hands to the back of his neck, his voice seductive, "Wife, do you still like it that way?"

Wu Yue hooked her arms around his neck, leaned in, and kissed him, "Then you have to behave. After I fall asleep, go attend to your duties."

Shen Que immediately broke into a roguish grin, "You got it, wifey."

With that, he ducked under the covers and leaned in closer.

Shen Que had been inside for quite a while without coming out.

Shen Qingci looked puzzledly at Wu Chong, "Why is Shen Que still so clingy?"

Wu Chong, "...You have no idea, this is actually better now."

Wu Chong lowered his voice and brought Shen Qingci and Su Mo up to speed on the dramatic events that had happened in the seven days since they arrived. The two were so excited they almost wished they had a handful of melon seeds.

...

Su Mo sighed, "No wonder Shen Que is so attached to Yue Yue. They’ve been apart for so long—isn’t this like their flame rekindled?"

Wu Chong nodded, "Exactly, try to understand. Once he has an outburst, work just can't proceed normally."

Su Mo pondered, "If we want Luo Shen and Dylan to fully align with Lu Xiu, we need to administer a strong dose."

Shen Qingci agreed, "Right. From Luo Shen and Dylan's perspective, both sides are wolves, and Wu Yue is surrounded by predators. But as long as we're seen as people sent by the human side, we're just wolves in sheep's clothing—they'll still hold onto hope. To make them truly believe we're real wolves, we have to take drastic measures. Only then can we advance their plotline."

Wu Chong asked, "How do we do that?"

Su Mo replied, "Simple. Just let Shen Que keep up his usual act and stage a performance."

Shen Que happened to step out at that moment, "What do you need me to act out?"

Wu Chong said with schadenfreude, "We need you to keep playing the scumbag."

Shen Que accepted readily, "No problem."

Surprised by how easily Shen Que agreed, the three of them were taken aback.

Shen Que added, "But I’ll decide the script this time."

Wu Chong, recalling Shen Que’s utterly ruthless and inhuman nature, felt a sense of foreboding. He quickly declared his loyalty, "The Alliance is at a critical juncture needing personnel right now. I can fight, I’m useful. Let me live, and I'll owe you one."

Shen Que glanced at Wu Chong, a smile playing on his lips that was three parts aloof, four parts icy, and two parts ruthless. Wu Chong shivered involuntarily.
