Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 221: Preparations

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry," Alice replied groggily, not knowing what to say.

Alex is not worried about Alice finding out about his ability; she already signed the contract. As long as Alex is stronger than her, he holds her life.

He feels bad doing this but cannot trust someone he just met.

Alex took out a bottle of spice water. "Have a drink to calm your mind," he said.

"Aetheris essence?" Alice mumbled. She has a different view than Alex.

Even though Felidaen knows Aetheris Essence is excreted by Aetheric Dragons, they don't feel any disgust towards it. All they see is all-purpose water, like an elixir, a precious material that many use.

"How did you get this?" Alice asked as she didn't hesitate to take a gulp.

"I found it in the dungeon. Well, I have more information about where that came from. If you want, I can give you some."

"It's a waste using it like this. If you trust me, can you give me all the water? I can then turn this into many products depending on what you want."

"Sure, but what kind of thing can you make? A weapon or healing potion? We already have those here."

"I will compile a list and give it to you later."

"Alright, so why are you here?"

"Oh yeah, before that, just what were you doing before? You exploded! How can you still be alive?" Alice asked.

"I was doing some experiments, and as for how I'm still alive, let's just say I am hard to kill."

"I already signed your weird agreement, can't you tell me?"

"Why should I? The agreement only ensures we don't backstab each other. And why do you feel interested?"

"How could I not? How about an exchange? I am really curious about how you can do that."

"Right now, nothing interests me, maybe later when I think of something."

"Nothing interests you? I don't believe that."

"There is something, but you won't be able to answer it."

"Try me," Alice replied confidently.

As someone second only to Freya, she believes she knows everything Alex wants to know.

"The goal. The dark hunter moves for the giant tree. It's the ifrit race's goal. Why do they want it?"

Alice turned silent; she also didn't know the answer to this.

Seeing her expression, Alex let out a chuckle. "See, I told you, you won't know. I am sure your mother knows something, but she just doesn't want to tell anyone else."

Alice then sighed in defeat, she also felt curious about this. She wanted to ask her mother, but with how angry she was before, she doesn't dare to ask this.

"You are right, I also feel curious about this."

"So why are you looking for me?"

"I have some questions about those dungeons. Is it another realm? Similar to mine? Or is it another planet?"

Alice has this suspicion since she has an understanding of how her secret realm works. It's very different from how dungeons work.

Alex then told her the information he knew, he doesn't tell all the details but enough for her to understand the big picture.

"That explains many things. So what is your plan now? Based on the deal, I will help you. I believe your immediate goal would be to rescue your father?"

"Yes. But I have something to take care of first, you should prepare yourself meanwhile. Get used to how we live here, and try to learn our weapons too."

Alice looked at Alex for a moment, then asked, "Where will you go? Don't you need my help?"

"Nope, don't worry, I won't leave you stranded here. You should understand that."

"Yeah," Alice replied. She knew the chance of that was slim, but she just wanted to make sure.

"If you have no more questions, I want to take a break."

Alex then took out two phones from his storage ring. He has many brand-new one stocked as they were purchased for Bai Yue Sect, but MingYue hasn't distributed them yet.

"Take that for you and William."

"A phone, huh? I have read about this."

"Well, there are manuals in the box, so I am sure you can learn how to use it by yourself."

They then exchanged some more small talk as Alex told her what she should do when he was gone.

Meanwhile, back in the Cultivation world, MingYue just finished taking a shower. She sat in front of a mirror and then used qi to dry her hair.

As she combed through her hair, a voice reverberated in her mind.

'You seem in a good mood, MingYue.'

'Who wouldn't? I just succeeded in getting a whole new clan under my sect. They also have many techniques that I can use.'

'That is not what I mean. You should look at yourself in the mirror. I don't know what you did, but you are smiling all the time before the shower.' Lin Hua said in her mind.

MingYue just smirked and didn't answer. Lately, she feels comfortable talking with Alex, since he is the only one she can talk to without hiding something.

Looking at her own reflection, she started thinking, 'I should start making some preparations.'

First, MingYue needs to make sure the Fang clan has no problem settling here. She has allocated a whole building for them to stay.

But if they need anything, Ming Yue thinks of giving the role to Ming Hua. He is the only person she trusts more than her own uncle.

'Well, worst comes to worst the secret realm is under Vesa's observation, I am sure nothing will go wrong. Thankfully, Vesa has made a deal with QingWa Xian.'

When MingYue fought with YangFei, Vesa completely overwhelmed Qing with her presence alone.

Since she didn't dare to fight back, Vesa made a deal for her to follow them in exchange for Vesa giving a new body to her husband.

Even though Yang Fei and Greed are still alive, the agreement she made was only to destroy Blue Lotus Village, and the village is gone now. So she doesn't have any more obligations toward them.
