Chapter 448 The Pendant
"If Queen doesn't want to attack it, then the other way will be going through the other door. There is a connection that links King, Queen, and me. I can send Queen there."
MingYue rolled her eyes. "Why didn't you tell me this before?"
"Well… Queen didn't ask, and doing this will also have some side effects.
Right now, Queen and King's souls have transformed into one of vampires and also started changing into progenitors.
This puts your soul in a unique situation; it's its own individual but, at the same time, part of a set.
So if you go deep inside there, parts of your soul that become progenitors will start melding into the King. As for the effect, I don't know for sure.
In the first place, Queen's soul situation is unique and never heard of. This is the fruit of my old master's long research."
MingYue sighed, "Forget it, let's do it later. For now, I will try this pendant first."
A Crimson aura then started appearing on her finger. MingYue then infused it into the dragon and phoenix pendant.
The moment this happened, Alex's eyes opened. They locked eyes while the dragon and phoenix amulet started moving as if it were lifelike; it then let out a roar.
Many pieces of information started pouring into Alex and MingYue's minds. Both of them stood in a trance. It took five minutes before their eyes returned to clarity.
MingYue pulled her head back, her eyes flickering with shock, "What do you think? How true is this?"
"99% true. Do you think my father and your parents would act this long without making sure of it?"
MingYue clenched her fist as she started feeling conflicted. On one hand, now she understood the reason for her parents' actions, and if she were in their position, she would probably do the same. But as their daughter, she still couldn't forgive them.
"How noble of them to do all that, sacrificing their own family for the good of the world!" MingYue said with a voice filled with indignation.
Alex, despite his state, suddenly felt a huge urge to comfort MingYue. He took a step forward, then hugged her.
MingYue put her head on his shoulder, tears starting to drip from her eyes…
"You know the real reason. It's not something noble like that. In the end, they did it for you.
If it happens, the result will be catastrophic. This planet will meet its end.
We have seen it, MingYue. No life survives in the void of space."
"So what? Still doesn't justify them! They could have told me about it, but no, they chose not to.
They preferred hiding it while making me bear the burden of the whole clan."
"With that scenario, you kept practicing to become stronger without knowing the danger this world is facing. And honestly, even with our strength now, MingYue, can we even do anything?"
"Then what are they doing? A suicide mission, then leave this information to us in case they failed, so we can prepare for the future?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"They didn't know we are progenitors. Even without this, that danger is something we need to face. But at the very least, this information confirms things for us."
MingYue's tears started dropping more, as right now, she didn't give a damn about it. Somehow, putting her head on Alex's chest and hearing his heartbeat made her emotions flow out.
"Do you know how lonely I was at that time? How lonely was my brother?
Don't you feel it, too, Alex? In the past, despite your family, you still felt isolated from your peers, and you found all the lessons boring.
You even challenged yourself with that prank to create a core using your school grades."
"Yes, you are right, MingYue. I am not justifying what they did."
MingYue then pulled her head forward and started hitting him in the chest, "And then there is you, Alex! Why are you being like this now?
Why? When I need you to be understanding, you lose your emotion instead?
Just how much does the world hate me to give me so much misfortune?"
"MingYue, you are—"Alex's voice trailed off as MingYue put her finger in front of his lips, shutting him up.
"Just shut up for now. You will just make me more agitated. Could you let me be emotional just this once?
Should I have lived all my life as a cold-blooded cultivator who killed her way to immortality?
Alex, I never asked for this. I never wanted this. But somehow, I was born with it.
Many are jealous of the talent I was born with. But for me, it's not a gift. It's a curse. Even using my world's standards, kids should still have time to play, but me?
No, I had to cultivate nonstop while looking at them, laughing and playing around, making me feel jealous. And then, when we grew older, all of them had the audacity to point their fingers at me, telling me I was fortunate? Blessed? Gifted?
FUCK THEM! Fuck This World!"
MingYue's tears started falling even more. She knew she wasn't making sense now and was only throwing a tantrum, but she needed it!
How could she not when she found out her loneliness and despair were planned by her parents?
It may have been a matter of choosing the lesser evil, but for her, it was something she found very evil. Didn't she have a choice in the matter?
"MingYue…" Alex called her name as she pushed her face once more to his chest, hugging her tightly. His heart throbbed every time he saw a tear drop from her eyes.
A thought appeared in his mind. "Whoever made her cry should pay for it."
Despite, in this case, it being his own father and MingYue's parents, Alex still felt the same. He wanted to give them a piece of his mind.
"You can vent however you want with me, MingYue…
But what do you want to do now? Will you tell them about this?"
