Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"Mom, you, Quartz, that kid named Zold, everyone still in the guild, Emily's hunter friend, whom I don't know," Alex replied as he still thought about who else.

"Now, tell me, do you have the right to forbid me and everyone else from protecting those we hold dear? Tell me, Alex?"

Alex turned silent at her question because he knew he didn't have the right to it, and he realized her point now.

"Why didn't you tell me, your mom, Quartz? Why didn't you tell anyone to help?

Don't you, more than anyone else, know how painful it is when your loved one is in danger and you can't do anything about it?

How much pain do those left behind feel?

How much regret do we feel for not being able to do anything until their last moment?" At the end of her words, Olivia's voice cracked.

She then continued, "Did you even think of me as your family, Alex? Did you recognize me?

Like your dad always said, good things should be shared with family, but he also always taught us bad things should always be faced together as a family.

Are you even his son? Didn't he ever tell you that?"

Seeing Alex silent and unable to answer, Olivia continued, "Progenitor, vampire, even if you become a god, I don't care about that, Alex! You will always be my little brother. Engrave that deeply into your mind!

If you have trouble, we face them together as a family!

Even if you are stronger than us at some point, that doesn't mean you can just ignore us. Even small help is still helpful, Alex.

Your father… the leader, always made sure everyone contributed in one way or another. And with your ability, I don't believe you cannot find a way to make us helpful to you!"

Olivia then stood up from her seat and gazed at Alex, "Think about it deeply, Alex. What I really mean to be a family! You cannot just treat us like that!"

Olivia then left, leaving Alex alone in the forest.S

Alex, looking at her disappearing back, called for Petricia.

"Yes, King?"

"Protect her until she arrived back at home."

Petricia nodded, then quickly left. Even though Alex knew despite Olivia was a veteran hunter, her role was always that of a healer.

He sent Petricia just in case something happened.

Alex cleaned up the table, grill, and chairs, putting it all back into his storage ring. He then lay in the grass, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

"Vesa, what do you think? Do you think I am at fault?"

[No comment, King.]

"I asked what you think. Don't you have a personal opinion?"

[In the vampire race, we are individualistic creatures.]

[The concept that Olivia mentioned is completely new to me. But, King, I cannot help but remember the memory of your father and the guild members in the past.]

[This makes me think if the past Progenitor had this kind of family, would he still have been betrayed?]

[The bond between the members of the Suzaku Guild in the past is not something that I can easily comment on.]

[Still, King, don't you also have a similar idea? That is why you made that rule in the Bai Yue sect?]

Alex remembered the rule he made; he wanted the sect members to think of Bai Yue Sect as home, but now that he thought about it, what is home?

Does home mean a location? It's not necessarily that.

For Olivia and Quartz, the Suzaku Guild is their home.

No matter if it's under the bridge, inside hell, or in the most luxurious mansion, the Suzaku Guild will always be their home.

"There are many things I still need to learn, Vesa."

[Of course, King. Even the late Progenitor still needed to learn many things each day despite his long life.]

Alex chuckled, "You are right. Every day, there are always new things to learn. I have become complacent since my ability augmented, arrogantly thinking to do everything with my own hands.

Even if I can really do it, that is irresponsible to the people I love. Who likes to be left behind?"

His gaze then drifted to the sky, where there were no clouds, allowing him to see the stars and moon, with fireflies floating all around him, giving him a good view.

"Vesa, send this view to Mingyue."

Vesa can pour information directly into their brains, allowing them a unique way to exchange information. They can send each other what they see and hear, just like they are there in person.

[Alright, King. Any message for the Queen?]

"No, just send it like that," Alex mumbled.

His eyebrows then raised when he saw a trail of stars moving in the sky. "A comet? People say I can make a wish if I see one, then I wish you all were still alive, Dad, everyone."

Meanwhile, Mingyue was meditating to stabilize her foundation when Alex sent the message.

Seeing it, Mingyue opened her eyes, "That is beautiful," she mumbled with a smile.

"Why did you send me that, Alex?" Mingyue asked, contacting Alex in her mind.

"No reason, I just thought it was beautiful, then I remembered you. Well, don't blame me; your name, Ming Yue, means bright moon in my language, I cannot help it," he said with a chuckle.

"Surprisingly, the moon in your world is not that different from my world, Alex. My uncle told me my mother gave birth to me on a night like this. That's why I am named Mingyue. What about you?"

"My dad told me Alex means a king that protects their people. He wished for me to become one."

Ming Yue chuckled, hearing it, "Is your dad a prophet? You really became one now, a king that needs to revive a whole species."

"Yours is also not that far, Mingyue. Your name means moon, and in my world, the moon is related to vampires," Alex said with a laugh.
