Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

The circumstances of his disappearance were already weird; now, adding this information, the enemy waiting for them in the core region was probably something far beyond their imagination.

'I have a life force, and Alex has the army. We also have many people around us.' MingYue thought, trying to calm herself.

The last time she and Alex faced something to get progenitor essence, the whole planet was destroyed. If they fight something on that level now, the possibility is not out of the question.

But there is a huge difference now: this is her home planet. She doesn't want it to be destroyed.

If possible, she wants to assimilate the whole thing to Edonia. MingYue had already asked Vesa about this, and she said it's possible in the future. But for now, taking in everything while keeping their appearance intact will be too much.

On another couch, Emily was seated with Luca. She looked at her mother, "Mom, you are scaring me. Can you tell me what happened? At the very least, Dad's situation."

Luca's lips quivered. She had stayed silent all this time since she still had a hard time accepting reality. Each step her husband took in this world was filled with pain and misery.

Betrayal, pain, starting from scratch were just a few of them. More than everything else, his deep longing to meet her again, to see his children grow up, overwhelmed her so much that she just couldn't accept it.

Why him? Why did the tragedy have to happen to them?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Right now, she completely understood the cause of the incident. Her husband was never disappointed; even with all that situation, he still succeeded in getting to the bottom of it.

As for the reason? She didn't have more words than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A misfortune.

"Emily, promise me you must stay calm. Your father is still alive, but the situation on his side is complicated."

"Yes, I will not do anything reckless. It's not like I can, don't you see the situation we are in?"

The entrance to the core region was protected by a huge gate. It was carved with many protection arrays, and Luca could feel it; there were at least three immortals guarding the area.

Receiving the gift from her husband, her cultivation soared and stabilized at the golden core realm. Based on Vesa's observation, the amount of energy put there was far more than that, but to make sure her foundation was stable, a lot of energy was wasted.

Hence, even if this cultivation bestowing is possible, MingYue still thought it was better to train by themselves. It took longer but was more effective as they were an emerging sect.

But for old sects and family clans, she thought this technique would be precious. For those cultivators that almost died, they could give their cultivation realm to the promising genius, allowing them to start from a higher step. This came with its own problems, but the benefit was worth it.

Luca then told Emily the situation. Her father was now under the control of the final boss at that dungeon, the Dragari King.

Her eyes widened as she felt her world collapse, "What? How can a Dragari do that? That is impossible."

"It's not. It seems this Dragari has a dragon bloodline that is related to souls. Your father did not know this thing killed him and got his soul to enter his body.

He has struggled for a long time and lately lost his ground against him." Luca didn't say further, but she knew the reason for this.

Edward was a man with a strong heart. Not even the most horrendous torture could make him change his mind, but threatening his family? That is a whole different story.

Throughout that time, even though he stayed strong, their comrade fell into the Dragon King's temptation, becoming a traitor.

The truth made Luca feel complicated. At the very least, it's a relief knowing no one betrayed them at the start, but it didn't change the fact that someone did.

This event hit Edward a lot. The Dragon King also often manipulated his dreams.

You may think the Dragon King gave him nightmares, but that was not the case.

Since the start, every day Edward always dreamed about Luca and his kids. He always ended up waking with an incredible sense of longing.

All this combined eroded his mental health until, finally, he began succumbing to his current state. But this didn't mean he did nothing.

Throughout his life on MingYue's planet that he called Blue Jewel, he also made many new acquaintances, and one of them was MingYue's parent, to be exact, her mothers.

It was the time before MingYue was even born. He then created many plans to return without endangering his homeland that had many aftereffects, including turning the time difference of Blue Jewel Planet to be the same as his home one.

Emily's eyes turned glassy, but she tried hard to hold down her tears. She didn't know how much her father suffered, but she could guess it. Her experience as a hunter was not for nothing.

Seeing her face, Luca pulled her to her embrace to comfort her.

At this moment, the door opened. Aria appeared, "We can go now; everything is prepared. It took longer than usual since the situation inside is not good."

"What happened?" MingYue quickly asked. She was one hundred percent sure it was related to Alex.

"There is chaos now, many monsters appeared attacking settlements. I have chosen the closest city to my clan, but afterward, we will need to walk."

"What kind of monsters?"

"I am also not clear on this; they didn't tell me much."

"Do you think it's Alex?" Luca asked.

"Probably, Aunt, but it's not like him to unleash his army like this. I am sure something happened there."

Luca nodded. At this time, she didn't know what to believe or say anymore. There was still one thing that stuck in her mind.

Even with all Edward's memories, his meeting with MingYue's mother was by coincidence.
