Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

MingYue felt that if this had been the case, Alex should have recovered his emotions. Even though it was a shock, he was not a normal human.

His soul was a progenitor, and this meant his mental capacity and health were far above normal humans.

Although they were still transforming now and barely filled a few percent, they still had the quality of progenitor. She herself could feel it.

MingYue knew she would already have gone head-on to the rift if not because of her current mental capacity.

She really wanted to hear from her own parents about the reason they left her.

Even though the reasoning was for her own safety, MingYue still couldn't accept it.

How hard is it for them to just tell her about it? Why do they need to go all the way like this? Do they not believe her?

So many questions were on her mind that made her emotions unstable.

But this didn't last long as she moved back, her instinct screamed of danger.

The thunder rumbled, gathering into one spot, then turning into something that looked humanoid.

MingYue frowned. Despite the being not having any eyes, she could tell it was studying her now, probably observing whether it should attack her or not.

Crackle!

Without warning, the being shot out toward MingYue. She condensed her progenitor's aura into an ice sword.

MingYue dodged the attack. She then raised her hand to throw a counterattack, but halfway she stopped.

The momentary gap was used by the being. It threw a kick right at MingYue's torso, but just inches away, it clashed with an invisible energy barrier. The shockwave from the clash propelled MingYue back.

She seized the opportunity, creating wings, and then escaped further. As she expected, the moment she moved out of the thunder area, the being dissipated.

"What should I do now? Can I hurt it without hurting Alex?" MingYue mumbled in confusion.

She was sure the thunder being was a part of Alex's soul; if she hurt it in any way, it would impact Alex. Unfortunately, thinking wasn't her strong suit. She preferred fighting head-on rather than plotting behind the scenes.

While she stood in a daze, one of the memory particles accidentally touched her.

"Man, everything just falls into his lap. If I had his life, I'd never have to worry about anything."

"So what? He's so clueless? Honestly, it's like he's begging to be taken advantage of."

"I know, right? Just imagine what we could get if we kept him wrapped around our fingers."

"Yeah, Alex is so stupid. He's got all the connections. If I were in his shoes, I'd be way ahead by now. Why even bother befriending us?"

The memory then disappeared. It was short, but it gave MingYue more understanding of Alex's past.

The one she saw was from the moment when Alex was in middle school. He hid under the teacher's desk while listening to his friends' conversation.

MingYue grasped her chest as she could feel what Alex felt at that moment—betrayal, one of the first he had. It was like someone stabbed her heart and twisted it.

The betrayal may have seemed innocent and could even be called very normal. People getting close to those who are rich and trying to exploit their kindness. But for the oblivious Alex at that moment, who grew up in a family filled with love and trust, this hit him hard.

He always grew up seeing how tightly knit the Suzaku guild was. This made Alex always want to have something similar, but unfortunately, reality came.

There was a reason the Suzaku guild was close; they all met in their most vulnerable state, helping and supporting each other through life-and-death situations. Without this, just how many can really build an unbreakable bond?

Alex quickly reached the conclusion, almost zero. That was why he gave up trying to make one.

"Never thought he could feel lonely like that."

MingYue then looked around. Driven by curiosity, her finger moved, touching another shard of memory.

But this one was not what she expected. Her cheeks turned red as she shook her head.

"Pervert."

MingYue then turned her gaze back to the lightning cloud.

"Will the dragon and phoenix pendant have some effect on Alex and me?

Rather than taking risks like this, I might as well try it."

Outside, MingYue opened her eyes. She quickly met with Alex's face, which still had his eyes closed. MingYue didn't make a move in case it broke Alex's concentration.

While their foreheads were still touching, she took out the pendant. 'Based on what Aunt said, the dragon pendant is for Alex, and the phoenix is for me. But does it need our blood to activate it?'

Vesa, who was guarding their bodies, realized MingYue's confusion.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Queen, I think the pendant has two prerequisites to be activated: first, the presence of the owner nearby or maybe needing physical touch, and second, infusing their qi into it.

But since qi is basically just energy, I think you can use progenitor aura on both pendants; it should serve as your and the King's signature."

"How sure are you about this, Vesa?"

"I am sure. I have seen the King's father's memory.

Based on the method he used, what I say is at least 90% correct.

And Queen, it's not like you lose anything; worst come to worst, just wake the King up."

"He seems to be deep in thought. Let's avoid it if we can.

One more thing, Vesa. That lightning being, do you know what it is?"

"Based on the information I have now, it should be some kind of protective measure of the King's soul."

"Then how can I bypass it? You should know a safe way to do this, right?"

"If Queen means how I linked both of your souls in the past, then that will be a different circumstance.

At that time, both King and Queen were still normal humans. Right now, both of you are progenitors."

"So there is no other way?"
