Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"Yes. No matter how good you are now, you will not be capable of entering it."

Alex put his hand on his chin, tapping it as he thought about it. "Then you want to go inside? But I don't have control over that area, and who knows what the system and Alucard put there as protective measures."

"If it's any use, this thing would never have happened to you."

"Not necessarily. What happened was directly caused by Byakhee. He just amplified it. Depending on what measures were put in place, what he did could bypass it."

"That is possible, but that just means I need to fight my way in. Don't forget, our souls are linked. Worst comes to worst. I can always escape through the backdoor."

"But MingYue, you are now in soul form. If you enter that deep, it will mean our souls will mix up."

MingYue's eyes flickered for a moment. She began hesitating. What Alex meant was he would know her deepest secrets, her emotions, thoughts, past, and everything else.

It's like showing herself bare to him, but at the same time, the same thing could be said for Alex. As she entered that deep, she would be able to see everything about him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Until they met, despite having their souls connected, they always kept to their own space, never invading the other's place. They only knew what the other wanted them to know.

For example, sending thoughts and memories of their choosing.

"I will find some other way to regain my emotions; you don't need to do this, MingYue."

"I-I…" MingYue wanted to respond, but she hesitated. She began thinking about the repercussions of what she was about to do. But after some more thought, she wondered, what is the risk?

Other than shame, in the end, both of them were bonded for eternity until one of them completely died. A thing that is very hard to achieve.

Her eyes turned determined as her lips curled into a smile. "You haven't seen many sides of me, Alex. If you find out how despicable and hypocritical I was, will you still feel the same about me?

I am a cruel, cold, and selfish woman, and you are bound to me without your choice.

I still remember you saying I was beautiful in the past, but that is only my outward appearance. What cultivator is not a beauty?"

"If you mean, will I change how I feel about you or not, then I don't think it will. First of all, I will clarify that the moment I saw you, I said you were beautiful, but the word in my head was not that."

"What is it then? And why did you never tell me?"

"The me at that time felt too shy to say it; it also felt too inappropriate, but basically, the word was you are the one.

The moment I saw you at that time, I knew you were someone I wanted to spend my whole life with. Someone that I wanted as my one and only woman."

"Why? Don't tell me bullshit like love at first sight; we both know you don't believe that.

You are someone who uses your logic in every single one of your decisions, or at the very least, the major ones.

Even before you lost your emotions, you were someone like that."

"Many things, but to sum it up, my type has always been someone who can carve their own path no matter what kind of hurdle they face. I just knew you were that type."

MingYue squinted her eyes, making sure Alex wasn't lying, but then she realized the current Alex would have no reason to lie. He didn't even feel an ounce of shyness.

"Fine then, I will find out myself. But let's make a deal first; no matter what you and I learn, we will not mention it unless one of us talks about it first."

"Agreed," Alex replied quickly.

"Just wait here then."

MingYue's body then dived into the ocean, going deeper. Alex looked at her disappearing back, feeling something tugging within him.

Alex let out a sigh, then sat cross-legged. He decided to focus on finding a way to break through to the next realm.

The moment MingYue started interacting with the deepest thoughts of his soul, what she thought and felt would be sent to his mind without him doing anything.

He could also go to MingYue's inner world, but the current Alex felt it wasn't necessary.

MingYue started swimming deeper into Alex's consciousness. The sea started changing into something that felt more like space.

She started seeing many spheres floating around like fireflies.

Curious, she touched one of them. Her expression changed as it turned out it was Alex's memory. The moment she touched it, she felt like she was Alex—all his thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensations, everything she felt.

The one she touched before was a random memory of Alex's time in college. At that time, he was eating a meal alone in a cafe.

Seeing the many memories floating around, MingYue started feeling curious about what was hidden inside them, but she shook her head as she knew that wasn't her main task.

She moved even deeper. Her surroundings started to change as if she were flying through thunderclouds. Lightning crackled in the sky, and the surroundings reminded MingYue of the energy that Alex picked apart from the Dragarian soul.

"So this is like a protective barrier before going deeper?" MingYue wondered in her mind.

At first, the thunder just crackled randomly, but soon enough, it started moving as if it had a will.

Crackle! Crackle!

The lightning shot toward MingYue. She quickly reacted, spreading her progenitor's presence.

As the progenitor is now part of Alex's soul, doing this allowed her to be recognized as if she were Alex's soul.

She then looked around the area, wondering where the core of the system that linked both of them was, but she couldn't see anything.

"The protection is still here. Did Byakhee really just do a one-moment thing and then be done with it? But that doesn't make sense."
