Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Fengxue cannot hear what MingYue thinks, but she can feel her mood.

"MingYue, don\'t blame me. Your mood is so turbulent that I can sense it without even trying.

If this were the outside world, the sky would already be filled with dark clouds and a heavy downpour. How could I not notice?"

"Then use an umbrella and play dumb. Can\'t you even do that!?"

MingYue cursed in her mind, rendering FengXue speechless. She was just worried about her.

"Alright, I\'m sorry. I won\'t say anything more about this. But let me tell you one last thing.

As cultivators, we live a long time and spend all our time cultivating. This makes us often hold our emotions back, thinking we can just deal with them later.

But you\'re forgetting something. Death can come anytime, even with all our secret skills and artifacts. And when it does, the regret you feel isn\'t because you didn\'t try harder, but because you didn\'t spend more time with the people around you."

Fengxue then fell silent. Mingyue used her slender finger to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes. She drank some more soda and then took a deep breath to calm down.

From how FengXue said it, Mingyue was sure she spoke from her own experience; the reason she wanted a body was probably related to it, too.

Her mind then started thinking that if she could go back in time, she would probably become more forceful in trying to get a reaction from her mom and dad or at least tell them how she felt.

Now that she thought about it, she realized she had never told anyone about this, nor did she have anyone to tell about it.

Who could she tell? Her brother? Uncle?

If not for the incident, she wouldn\'t feel that close to them, but even now, the nature of their relationship made her need to appear strong in front of them.

Friend? Ironically, in her sect, the one she interacted with the most was LinHua, and she pushed her Into a void crack.

In the end, only Alex came to mind.

\'Our lives are interlinked anyway; we either spend eternity together or die together, we might as well try to get close,\' she thought to herself. Alex also already knew about her family problems, so she wouldn\'t need to explain much.

"Alex, are you busy?"

Alex had just finished from the dungeon.

He had checked their loot; luckily, before he fought Zarnak, he had already taken all the resources he had provided. Otherwise, he would have lost it all to the flames.

The unique materials he got were a unique type of ore and wood. He had already obtained some information about it, but he still needed to check the details later on.

Emily, as she expected, got a mana crystal from the chest, but it was just medium quality. Alex let her keep it for the guild\'s resources.

They then both went their separate ways.

Emily was mentally tired from what she had experienced and wanted some time alone for the day and to reset. Tomorrow, she needs to start managing the guild. She had already called everyone, and the facility was ready now.

When MingYue called him, he was sitting on the terrace, planning what to do with the goblin kids.

"Nope, did something happen?" Alex asked.

"Well, nothing much. I just returned back home."

Hearing her low voice, he realized MingYue was probably in a bad mood. He felt happy she looked for him. Alex didn\'t hesitate to use his ability to think about the best way to react to her.

He concluded that MingYue probably felt bad about her family and wanted someone to talk to but didn\'t know how to start.

He then tried to think of a way to start a conversation related to that topic, narrowing it down to three options: first, ask her directly some questions related to her family; second, ask about the progress in the secret realm; third, talk about his own family.

After more thought, he scratched the third option.

Alex loves his family, but in contrast, MingYue\'s relationship with her family is complicated now. Even if her parents really had a reason to do all that, it still doesn\'t change the fact they betrayed her.

Alex knew if he were in that position, he would also hate them to the bone,. What kind of reason can justify their actions?

Then a possibility came to his mind; what if their parents knew that nothing would happen to her because they put some life-saving method that she didn\'t know about?

If this is true, that is possible, but Alex stopped this train of thought since this is not what he needs now.

He then thought about the second option; this would make MingYue forget the problem since the talk would probably move to how they should develop the sect. But this would be a problem for Alex since it\'s rare for him to have a chance to learn more about her personal life.

Then, only one option was left, and Alex thought this should be the best one.

If Emily knew how much energy her brother used to talk to MingYue, she would laugh her ass off and say, "Bro, just tell her what you have in mind. Are you planning to keep doing that every time you talk?" But she was not there.

Alex then asked MingYue directly, "Do you feel bad about what happened?"

"Mhm…" MingYue replied. She then paused for a moment before she continued, "I just don\'t get it. Why would they do all this?"
