Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

She may have been a cultivator and warrior who killed without a second thought, but a sentient baby, and one that had an appearance almost like a human at that, there was no way she could kill it just to satisfy her curiosity.

And MingYue knew that if Alex had his emotions, there was no way he would even consider doing it.

The best he could do was put the baby through many scans and then think about letting her grow so he could see her growth and learn from it.

"Yes, but isn't it because she is a baby that she won't remember what happened?"

"You…" MingYue was at a loss for words. She didn't know how to answer Alex's question.

Vesa listened to everything from the side. For her, it didn't matter at all. So what if it was a baby? She had seen Alucard do something worse.

A specimen was just a specimen. But she didn't voice her opinion.

"King, Queen, I will not take sides in this matter, but with the current temperature, if this shield breaks, the child will die. So either you bring her up first, then strengthen the shield, or make a decision fast." Continue reading stories on empire

"Let's bring her up first, then," Alex replied, his fingers dancing in the air, creating a rune around the shield. Then, part of the ice around them started getting absorbed by the rune.

A new shield appeared, covering the baby. It shimmered with a green hue. The old shield completely disappeared, and water started pouring, filling the inside of the shield to the brim.

"Let's bring her up first, then," Alex replied; his finger started dancing in the air, creating a rune around the shield. Then, part of the ice around them started getting absorbed by the rune.

A new shield appeared, covering the baby, glimmering with a green hue. The old shield completely disappeared. Water then started pouring, filling the sphere to the brim.

The baby's cry disappeared as her face returned to calmness. She then returned to sleep.

On the island shore in the middle of the lake, the sphere floated in the air, while Vesa was nowhere to be seen, leaving only Alex and MingYue. She was flying to the cavern entrance to look for the Qi vein, and she was planning to move it to Edonia if possible.

Meanwhile, with the baby covered inside Alex's rune formation, he got more information.

"Interesting, despite her face looking like a human, she still needs to breathe water."

Based on Alex's observation, the lungs were not perfected yet and were still growing. It would probably take more growth before they could breathe in the air.

"How about the milk, then? I see the others of her species look more like monsters. How can it breastfeed?"

"She doesn't drink milk; somehow, she eats things like a clam. She drinks the water, absorbs all nutrients, plankton, even Qi, then absorbs it for her growth."

"So, you just need to keep her inside this sphere, and she'll grow by herself?"

"Technically, yes."

MingYue then realized she also felt curious about the baby, but that was not the point now. "Alex, don't tell me you still think of dissecting her."

Seeing Alex stay silent, MingYue added, "You cannot stay like this; sooner or later, you will do something you will regret forever."

"I still have my considerations on that, MingYue."

"No, you will not even consider dissecting a baby as an option if you have your emotions."

"But the exchange is worth it. We need to break through to a new realm before going to the void, MingYue."

"How does she help with our cultivation?"

"I've told you before, we need to unite our power under one essence."

"Yes, and we are stuck between vampire and human, but choosing only one is not an option because it will change our foundation once more."

Alex gave a nod. "Then see her, she is proof two species can completely fuse together perfectly. If we can dissect how the essence entangles together, that will be the key to our answer."

"Didn't you say you already have a method?"

"Yes, but that is more on enhancing our human essence to be the same level as the vampire. To do that, we will need human progenitor essence. It's not something we can do now."

Despite Alex's initial interest in evolution, when he observed the baby inside the rune, he realized both were linked. When creatures evolve, their essence also evolves.

Another thought then surfaced in Alex's mind. "Wait, there's one more thing—the dungeon. If we can find out how they evolve monsters and change them from the essence, then it will be useful."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Make both equally strong, then fuse them. Then what will the result be?"

"Based on the characteristics we know so far, a more emotional vampire. Humans are emotional creatures.

In my opinion, this is not really a benefit. Sometimes, our emotions can trigger a burst of power, but it's not consistent and very random. As for vampires, they are immortal and strong, but they are too arrogant."

This was not just based on what Vesa had told Alex; his experience with the Sovereign was also the same. Despite Alex having their lives in his hands, they still dared to take the Qi crystal for themselves.

It wasn't like they had any use for it.

Alex hadn't given them a method for cultivation. They could try to learn from the natives here, but based on their personality that looked down on other species, he doubted they would do this.

"Hmm… that will make us more flexible, but I don't think our personality changed despite becoming a progenitor and fully transforming into a vampire."

"No, that is different, MingYue. Both coexist. The only thing Alucard does is make sure the vampire essence doesn't consume our human one. We still need to fuse it ourselves.

At first, I thought of using our human essence to be the dominant one, but now I'm starting to think about just fusing it completely if it's possible."

"But the cost isn't worth it, Alex. You'll regret it forever if you experiment on the baby. It will cost you your humanity."
