Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

The bangle was colored in gold, but he could recognize the inscription on it; it had the same effect as the one he wore.

"Will you let me go if I return her to you?"

"What a stupid question. You should know the answer," the woman said as she took out two daggers from her pocket.

Without waiting for Alex to answer, she appeared in front of him and started attacking. Compared to Aurora's movemts, the woman's movemts were very fast and unpredictable.

Her arm and shoulder looked like they were going for a stab, but instead, it turned into a slash.

Alex dodged, but it wasn't completely perfect; the dagger slashed, creating a vertical line on his cheek. But the wound only lasted for a momt before it started healing.

Unfortunately, the healing process was not smooth since the dagger was coated with paralytic poison, slowing down the regeration.

Alex had just landed on the g, but his instincts still screamed danger. He used his hammer, pointing it downward, th made it longer, pushing his body back inside the room.

BAM! BAM!

Two whips made of wood came out from the ceiling, hitting with strgth toward the place Alex had just stood.

'She can control plants?'

Alex quickly assessed the situation a him, th realized a fleck of gold dust suring the plant part on the ceiling. Average eyes wouldn't be able to see it since the dust was a very small amount, but for his progitor eyes, it was clear as day.

'Vesa, tell me about the Fairy race's power.'

[Fairy race has a variety of powers. Some of them have an innate ability to talk with plants and animals. While an exceptional few can talk with both.]

[Other than this innate ability, they are also capable of creating fairy dust. This dust has differt effects that are unique to each individual; as they hance their strgth, the fairy dust can have more than one effect. So, king, be careful. There can be more effects from the dust.]

'Anything more I need to worry about?' Alex asked as his eyes sharply eyed the woman.

[If she is a royal fairy, th there are more things to worry about, but based on information so far, she is just a normal fairy.]

Alex wanted to ask more about the royal fairy, but he knew now was not the time.

His mind th started repeating what happed before. He concluded that wh the woman attacked him, she also st her dust toward the ceiling. She would th be able to control any plant covered by dust.

Flames started gathering again on his hammer as he pointed it forward. "Come close to me, th I will burn this place."

Seeing the flame keep getting hotter, the woman didn't dare to recklessly attack. "Let's talk."

The woman was not worried about her sister's fate; she believed Amu wouldn't choose someone bloodthirsty as his voy.

If he really wanted to go violt, he wouldn't bother sding anyone; his strgth alone would be more than ough to d all conflict, but it would result in many casualties. Alex doesn't use her sister's life to threat her.

"And now you want to talk. Sure. Sd them away first," Alex pointed at the group behind the woman.

The woman hesitated at first; she was not sure she could defeat Alex if it was one-on-one. But she couldn't risk the palace being burned; it would attract atttion from her mother and Aimu.

Ev now, she was sure Aimu didn't suspect that the fairy race was involved.

"You all go, focus on extinguishing the fire in the moat."

"But, Que, if I leave you now and something happs, the king will hold me responsible," the geral said with hesitation.

He had se heads flying because someone looked down at the king's new woman; he didn't dare to think what the king would do if something happed to them.

The woman turned her eyes coldly toward the geral, "Do I need to repeat it again? Go do as you're ordered."

The geral still felt worried, but in the d, he decided to relt. He put his fist over his chest, making the usual gesture, th left the area with all the soldiers.

With them gone, the woman asked, "Everyone already left. Can you drop your hammer now?"

"Sure, you drop your dagger first, and don't use your fa…" Alex's voice trailed off, his eyebrows raised since Vesa st him an influx of information.

Vesa had just finished interrogating the man he had captured. Knowing it would be useful for Alex at the momt, Vesa didn't think twice to pour the information directly into his brain.

Alex th learned the real objective of the fairy. Seeing Alex's change of expression, the woman thought he already lost his patice.

She threw her dagger toward the g and th raised both hands. "Enough?"

The hammer in Alex's hand th disappeared. Seeing this, the woman thought it was an opportunity; she is the type that doesn't believe someone easily.

She wanted to negotiate, but she preferred doing it wh she had the upper hand.

She dashed forward while spreading her fairy dust a the hallway. Many sharp branches started to form, moving toward Alex like sharp projectiles.

"So, you already started, Alice," Alex said, watching everything calmly.

As he expected, the momt he said her name, Alice stopped her attack. Before, it was clear he didn't know anything about her; otherwise, he would have already called her by her real name to negotiate.

Other than her sister, everyone in the palace didn't know her as Alice. She th started considering how Alex knew; the only answer she could come up with was that he had somehow gott the information from her sister.

Her black eyes flickered with rage. "What have you done to my sister?"

Alice still didn't know where Alex had put her sister, but she speculated he somehow had a pocket dimsion to put them. Her mother also had a similar thing, so she didn't find it weird.
