Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Alex and Mingyue looked at each other and then took a seat.

The reason they stood was to ensure they could escape quickly in case something happened or they were ambushed.

But right now, they couldn't feel anyone's presence nor any malicious intent from Kageyasha.

There was a possibility they just failed to detect them because of their shadow abilities, but based on the situation so far, Alex found this possibility slim.

If Kageyasha wanted to ambush and capture them, he would have already done so the moment Kurone left.

There was no reason for him to talk in circles like this.

"Let me put this simply. I have a way to bring all of you inside the Silver Snake territory without anyone finding out.

But for this, I need your help with a problem your father failed to solve."

"I need more details."

Alex was curious about what kind of problem his father couldn't find a solution for.

Even when he was stranded in another world with limited resources, he still found a way.

The only thing Alex thought of was that his father might have had a way, but it took too long, and he was in a hurry.

After all, Edward's goal was to go through the rift into that dangerous zone.

He needed to enter at a specific time or be prepared to wait a few more years.

"This is related to Kurone and the ancient monster that once roamed free in this area.

When her mother was pregnant with her, she accidentally found one of the remains and got possessed.

At first, nothing changed, so she didn't report it to me…"

Kageyasha's face turned grim. What happened next was still clear in his mind.

His strong and kind wife, the one he knew, was no more.

Her personality underwent a huge change; she became irritated easily and far more cruel.

A single mistake could result in someone getting killed.

At first, Kageyasha thought it was just because of pregnancy, but the more he saw, the more worried he became.

It only became worse to the point that only he could stay beside her.

After some time, her personality completely transformed, and it also started changing her body.

Her black fur began falling off, and her skin turned rough.

At this point, he finally realized that something must have happened.

"I thought this was the act of some despicable human or another beast clan.

But after a lot of research and fighting, I realized it's not.

She is possessed by some kind of parasitic creature, one that doesn't belong to this world.

I looked for a cure everywhere, even tried exchanging with the Guardian, but the best I got was putting her under a coma."

Kageyasha then created a formation to supply his wife's body with the necessary nutrients and resources.

This allowed Kurone to grow healthily in her womb until birth.

"So you want me to look for a way to cure your wife?" Alex asked in disbelief.

Not because he found the emperor's story fake, but more so because no one could cure it—not even his father.

Kageyasha's eyes turned sad, and then he shook his head.

"No, it's already too late for her.

When she gave birth, something else happened.

I don't want to talk about it in detail, but she didn't make it.

The problem is something else—when she gave birth, it wasn't only Kurone that came out."

Kageyasha then stood up.

"Follow me."

He activated some kind of formation in the room.

The next moment, Alex and Mingyue found themselves inside a basement.

In front of them, they could see a luxurious room separated by glass.

Inside, a young woman with the exact same appearance as Kurone could be seen.

"What is wrong with her?"

Alex concluded she was Kurone's twin, but the question was, he couldn't see anything wrong with the woman.

She was now sitting cross-legged, cultivating silently on the ground.

"See this."

Kageyasha flicked his finger, and the formation activated once more.

A huge beast then appeared.

It was a two-headed lion the size of a two-story bus.

The woman inside opened her eyes. What happened next baffled Alex and Mingyue.

She walked on all fours with crazed eyes and tore the beast apart.

She then proceeded to eat it until not even the bones were left.

Everything happened so fast.

The most surprising thing was her level of strength.

'Alex, is she stronger than Clara?'

'With that speed and shadow innate ability, yes.

Also, did you see her hand transform when she attacked?'

'Mhm… it was like her hand turned into a sword at that time.'

'It seems Kurone was born normal, while her twin was affected by the parasite.'

"I'm sorry to ask this, but Kageyasha, do you have your wife's remains?"

"No, she was cremated to ashes. Nothing is left.

Until now, we don't know what is affecting her, and we believe this didn't happen on purpose.

We had no other choice."

Based on Kageyasha's words, Alex speculated that when his wife gave birth, the parasite went feral.

They did something to subdue her, and in the end, the parasite decided to escape, infusing itself with the twins.

Since she was still a baby without any personality, the parasite easily fused with her, completely taking over the body.

'Either the parasite didn't have a personality to begin with, or it was erased when it possessed her body.'

"As you can see, she acts like this no matter who enters, and her strength is also another problem."

"Has she been like this since she was a baby?"

"Since her mother passed away, I hired two wet nurses.

In Kurone's case, there were no problems, but with her…

Kurosora…

She bit the wet nurse, eating her chest, and almost killed her in the process.

Afterward, her diet only consisted of meat, but that still isn't the biggest problem…

Her intelligence doesn't grow.

Everything outside of fighting and secret techniques, she cannot learn at all."

"You mean she can't communicate? In that case, how were you able to teach her?"
