Chapter 636: Shen Que Cheats to Quickly Conquer

Chapter 636 Shen Que's OP Fast-Forward Strategy

Even after Shen Que finished his shower, Wu Yue still hadn't shown up. Although Shen Que knew very well that Wu Yue's personality was best summarized as:

"If you can't solve the problem, eliminate the person causing it."

The thought of Wu Yue wanting to kill him still infuriated him.

If Wu Yue really came, he would definitely pin her down in the bathtub and take her right then and there.

This woman was truly heartless—no matter how much she liked him, she dared to think of anything!

His lips curled into a cold, vicious smirk. So she wanted to kill him, huh? Didn't want to pursue him, huh...

With a stern face, Shen Que walked out of the bathroom, changed into his newly bought combat suit, glanced out the window at the Order's pitch-black night, and nimbly leaped onto the windowsill, merging into the darkness.

...

Wu Yue ultimately abandoned her world-shaking scheme. If the male lead could be killed by a mere supporting female character like her, then he wouldn't be called the dragon-level protagonist!

As the night deepened, Wu Yue patted her stomach, planning to find something to eat.

She went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and stared blankly at the completely empty refrigerator.

Wu Yue looked puzzled. "Have I been living on nothing but air all this time?"

No sooner had she spoken than a gust of northwestern wind actually blew from behind.

Before Wu Yue could turn around warily, she was yanked into an embrace from behind.

Feeling her heart rate skyrocket and the unexpectedly familiar, domineering presence, Wu Yue surreptitiously reached into her uniform's inner pocket for her comm device.

The person behind her moved faster than she did, slipping a hand into her inner pocket, pulling out the comm device, and deliberately grazing her in the process.

Wu Yue instantly whirled around to kick him.

Shen Que didn’t even try to block it, letting the kick land squarely on his chest.

He grabbed Wu Yue’s ankle with one hand, pulling her back in front of him, wrapping an arm around her waist as he leaned in close.

Shen Que said, "I told you to come find me. Why didn’t you?"

Considering the gap in their abilities, her only means of calling for help had been confiscated by Shen Que, and she had just slapped him across the face.

She knew how to pick her battles. "I was afraid you’d hit me."

Even though she felt her memory was full of holes, she had, after all, been married to him for two lifetimes—and she was carrying his child, for heaven's sake!

Shen Que chuckled softly, seizing the nape of Wu Yue’s neck. "I won’t hit you."

Just as he leaned closer, Wu Yue’s eyes turned sharp, evil energy coiling around her hands as she struck without hesitation toward his pressure points.

Taking a hard punch to the neck, Shen Que tilted his head slightly, a bruise forming on his pale, alabaster skin.

Wu Yue, "..." Seriously, he never blocks, ahhh!

After being hit in the neck, Shen Que’s pupils constricted instantly.

Pure bliss—his wife was hitting him again.

Noticing Wu Yue’s guarded expression, Shen Que shifted gears, a flicker of hurt flashing in his eyes.

He glanced coldly at Wu Yue and asked, "Do you hate me that much?"

Wu Yue nodded, "Yes, please keep your distance from me."

Shen Que, shamelessly resorting to emotional blackmail, plowed on with the drama, only thinking of himself.

"Wu Yue, I came here for you and ended up in this wretched, half-existence.

But you? You ignore me, you're cold to me, even violent."

He gave her a deep look, his lips twisted into a self-mocking smile, stepped onto the windowsill, spread his silver wings, and vanished into the night.

Wu Yue watched Shen Que's retreating figure with a troubled look, her heart in turmoil.

"You see, the male lead's feelings for you are genuine."

"He's deeply hurt."

"Go comfort him, or if the female lead comforts him instead, the plot will drift further off course."

Seeing Wu Yue still hanging her head and pretending to be dead, the system doubled down,

"It's not like you dislike him. You're carrying his child. You're inextricably linked—you can't truly sever ties."

"Wu Yue: We're from different races, standing on opposite sides of two worlds. There's no future for us. Better a clean break now than prolonged pain."

"Fine, if that's what you've decided, go find Lu Xiu and terminate the pregnancy. Then focus on your script as a strong, independent female lead."

Wu Yue gritted her teeth but didn't move. The system urged her:

"Hurry up, why are you being so wishy-washy?"

Wu Yue snapped, "So what if I'm wishy-washy? It's none of your business!!"

"Aren't you the one who wants me out of your consciousness ASAP? I'm busy too, my schedule is packed.

Finish your tasks quickly so we can go our separate ways sooner."

Wu Yue was upset from head to toe. Shen Que made her unhappy, and this system made her unhappy too!!

After a long while,

"Wu Yue: How far has the relationship between the male lead and the female lead progressed?"

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she heard a soft chuckle right by her ear. She tried to place the sound and felt it somewhat resembled Shen Que's.

"No progress. The male lead belongs entirely to you, pure in both body and mind from beginning to end."

Wu Yue found it unbelievable,

"Wu Yue: That sounds like treatment reserved for the female lead."

"You are the female lead, the one and only female lead. It's because of his deep love for you that Shen Que is the male lead. Otherwise, he would have died long ago."

Suddenly, Wu Yue's mind buzzed, and countless images flashed by too quickly for her to grasp.

Without exception, every image was of Shen Que.

Compared to his cold and detached self now, the him in her memories was far more vivid—radiant, dazzling, sparkling, and brilliant.

His gaze was filled with affection, warm and brimming with laughter, so intensely fervent it seemed as though he wanted to drown her.

So, she and Shen Que had truly and deeply loved each other. At their first reunion, her heart recognized him faster than her eyes did.

"Now, are you willing to win him over?"

"Wu Yue: ...I don't make the first move."

"Send him a message now, and he'll come to you immediately."

Wu Yue hesitated again,

"What are you worried about?"

"Wu Yue: ...I don’t think he’s a decent person. Alone together, I’m afraid he might get handsy—I can’t fight him off."

The man was a total perv. In all three times they’d met, his hands seemed all over her, never leaving her body.

And those hands were like suction cups, always wandering and clingy, never staying in a proper place!!

"Pfft," Another laugh. Wu Yue wondered if she was hearing things.

That laughter—it sounded exactly like Shen Que’s voice!!

"Then just send him a message to make him feel better, alright?"

Wu Yue took out her communicator and clicked on Shen Que’s profile. He had already changed her avatar to a solid black image.

The moment Shen Que changed his avatar, Wu Yue immediately overthought it.

"Wu Yue: He changed his avatar. Is he mad at me? Then I don’t need to comfort him, right?"

"He’s just pissed at you. It takes two to make it work. You’re always running away, so it’s natural for him to feel hurt.

In your past life, you kept rejecting him, and he was so heartbroken that it ended in tragedy."

Wu Yue thought about it and felt that made sense. She sighed sincerely:

"Wu Yue: Gotta say, even though your system skills aren’t great, your emotional analysis is pretty spot-on."

...

Shen Que sat on the sofa, unable to hold back a smile.

He waited for what felt like ages until Wu Yue finally dragged her feet and sent a message:

"Top Order Officer Wu Yue: Sorry, I went too far. Are you okay?"

"Celestial Order Official Noah: I’m not okay. It really hurts."

"Top Order Officer Wu Yue: ...Someone like you shouldn’t be that bad."

"Celestial Order Official Noah: Nah, my heart hurts."

Sensing Wu Yue’s pounding heart, Shen Que’s lips curled into a smile, his eyes crinkling with joy.

His slender fingers flew across the screen, pressing his advantage and giving Wu Yue no time to hesitate or retreat.

"Celestial Order Official Noah: Come find me at 9970, and it won’t hurt anymore."

"Celestial Order Official Noah: I miss you, wife."

...

After reading Shen Que's message three times, Wu Yue tossed her communicator aside abruptly, her face flushed, a smile tugging uncontrollably at her lips, her heart racing wildly.

"Ding-ding"—the communicator pinged again. Wu Yue glanced at it.

"Celestial Order Official Noah: Look outside the window."

Thinking it was Shen Que again, she felt her heart tighten for a moment, only to see a drone carrying several meal boxes.

The mechanical arm lowered the boxes, and the drone flew away. The aroma of the food wafted toward Wu Yue, teasing her empty stomach. She opened one of the boxes and took a deep breath.

Whoa, what is this?! It smells so amazing!! She had been starving all day!

"Celestial Order Official Noah: Eat up and get to bed early."

"Celestial Order Official Noah: Goodnight, babe."
