Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

As all the piles were separated, Alex looked dazedly at the red energy.

Even after all the separation, this only counted as a few. He felt this wasn't even part of the main soul.

"MingYue, what do you think I should tell my mom and sister outside?" Alex asked as he didn't know what to say.

With the loss of his emotions, his ability to empathize was also reduced.

He could think about their reactions, but choosing the right words to not hurt them was something he needed to really consider.

It wasn't just about their emotion; he needed to make sure they didn't do anything reckless.

"Is that your father's remaining soul?" MingYue asked while pointing at it.

"Yes and no, it's more like part of him he discarded. He is still out there, living out from his body as a soul.

I suspected he hid some clue in the ring, but if this is true, I don't understand why he hid it, except he have more enemies.

This means this lizard king is not the real problem. I wonder if it's the one Byakhee mentioned."

"Did you have any idea why they were here?"

"Byakhee's real self is the one overseeing the outer gate, or who knows, he created it. So, his looking at this planet is not weird.

I think it's more about the other being. Byakhee should have found out what this being did, and it piqued his interest.

As for the matter itself, it's probably related to the pendant you got from your parents.

There is also Reina's mother. Her missing should be related to that. I suspect she is now with your parents. As for my father's real soul, I doubt it's with them.

He was always the type to send someone to do something while he himself did the riskier part without anyone knowing."

Alex then stood up, his fingers moving, manipulating the rune formation. It then spun and closed up, creating something like a sphere.

Leaving behind only the green particles outside.

"You still haven't answered, MingYue. What should I say?" he asked while grasping the sphere.

The rune required continuous infusion of life force to make sure everything inside stayed intact. The cost was not cheap, but it was far better than letting it all dissipate.

"You know how bad I am with personal interactions like this, but if it were me, I would just tell the truth: your father is not here."

"Based on the body's situation, my father's soul should have left a while ago. He also doesn't have any plan to return."

"How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Just see this body's situation," Alex said while pointing toward the lightning in the sky. Even after he captured the Dragari king, the inner world still stayed intact.

"Even without a soul, this inner world somehow still stands. I still don't know how my father did this, but this is why I am sure he did this to make a prison for the Dragari king's soul.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If he really tried to possess me, something would be triggered.

My father also destroyed the organ that gave him his ability. He made sure to do it so thoroughly that it cannot be regenerated."

"Your father seems like a very capable man."

"He is. The problem is, if I tell Mom and Emily like what you say, I am sure they will go after him directly."

"They don't even know where he is; where would they go?"

Alex's eyes turned to the sphere in his hand. "My father bestowed all his memories to my mother. I am sure she has an inkling of where he went.

I guess it's in the frontline area, the other side of the portal.

That reminds me, have you seen a woman outside? She is Feng Xue's descendant."

"No, I never thought her family situation was this complicated. How about the ShangXi Temple and the coalition? Do they have something to do with this?"

"Almost certainly, yes. It seems someone planned something for a long time, and this someone is probably that being.

I suspect the Shangxi Temple abbot is one of my father's comrades. He probably created both opposing forces to create this situation."

"In that case, does that mean the Shangxi Temple is on our side?"

"Not necessarily. Don't forget our goal is to take over this world. It's different from what they want to achieve, and who knows if we disrupt their plan instead." Alex paused for a moment.

It wasn't just a possibility; he believed his army had already disrupted the plan. The question was, did it disrupt in a good way? Or in a bad way?

"Vesa, analyze the Dragari king's memory and give me the rundown later," Alex said while throwing the sphere toward Vesa.

"Yes, King." Vesa then opened her mouth and ate it whole.

"MingYue, you should take this. I already have some insight into reaching the next realm. We need to become stronger as fast as possible."

Alex split the life force pile into two and then gave half to MingYue.

MingYue began absorbing it, closing her eyes. New information started pouring over her as Vesa gave her Alex's insight.

Looking at her, Alex thought, 'I have no emotion, but I still find myself attracted to her. Is this because we are linked by the progenitor's soul?

Or is emotion different from someone's heart?'

Many thoughts and considerations came to Alex's mind. In the past, he would categorize attraction, like, and love all as emotions, but now it seemed it wasn't necessarily true.

MingYue opened her eyes. She had many questions about his insight, but feeling his glare made her questions dissipate.

She was now in her soul form; the glare felt like he saw her naked, making her blush.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"As you know, I like you, MingYue, but in my state, I am emotionless."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I am emotionless, but I can still say for sure that I like you. I wonder why."
