Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System-Chapter 629: A Ruse
After Kael and the rest of the cultivators left, Saryx’s expression changed.
He didn’t look like the arrogant dragon prince anymore.
The huge wyvern that had carried him earlier landed, then let out a human voice.
"Stop."
The voice wasn’t loud, but with that single word, every wyvern froze and ended their attack.
A sharp tearing sound followed.
The wyvern’s hide split open along its belly, like a seam being cut.
Metallic clicks and shifting parts sounded from inside.
Alex stepped out.
At the same time, the prince beside him begin to change.
In a few breaths, he has completely transformed into a black beauty.
Mingyue stood there with relieved expression.
One after another, the other wyverns landed. Their backs opened in the same way, and more figures climbed out.
Alice emerged first, followed by the other felidaen who had been hidden inside.
The felidaen who had escaped for their life moments ago frozen in disbelief.
The situation has changed far beyond their imagination.
Alice lifted her hand.
"It’s me, I’m sorry I’m late."
An older felidaen pushed through the line, his complexion pale and thin.
His eyes widened as he recognized her.
He fall into his knee than start sobbing.
"Princess Alice... We’re glad you’re here.
After the others disappeared, we were on our own.
We thought the worse have happened."
Alice’s gaze turned complicated.
She already know her family were missing, it’s like they just disappeared.
Behind her, Alex was looking at the opened shell of the wyvern, his eyes reviewing their performance..
If we could secure a real wyvern, this would be even easier," Alex said.
"It’s fine, what matter is everything progress as planed." Mingyue replied.
Alex smiled.
Because from the start, this had all been a ruse.
Alex and Mingyue had planned it carefully, down to the timing, and even the way the "prince" spoke.
They wanted to break the relationship between the Dragon Federation and the Human Empire.
And for that, they decided this is the best method.
A human general interfere with internal politics of the dragon federation.
With their pride no dragon will accept this.
Unfortunately finding a good target from the dragon federation and human empire is not easy.
That’s till they found a old footage of Saryx’s battles in the universe tube.
His arrogance, his way of fight, and his personality quickly make them realize he’s a good target.
While dragons were loners who seldom left their own territory, Saryx was different.
He wanted to prove his worth, so he often traveled across the universe, searching for strong foes to challenge.
Despite that, he was still one of the Overlord’s most beloved sons.
Yet all his life, he only chased his own desires and threw everything else aside, which made him the perfect target.
Mingyue spent a lot of time learning how he fought, then used her space ability to recreate his lightning attacks.
In reality, it was all projectiles Alex had prepared beforehand.
Every time a blast went off, it didn’t just release lightning and destruction.
It also released subtle space energy.
Anyone who should have been turned into ash was pulled away a heartbeat before the flames reached them.
They had also captured some human cultivators during the chaos, planning to interrogate them later.
Alex hoped he could get good information from them.
Mingyue raised her hand.
Space shifted in front of her palm.
A thin crack of darkness opened, then widened into a doorway.
Many Felidaeans stumbled out.
Some were bleeding. Some were only covered in dust. But they were alive.
Their eyes darted around, confused.
"Am I... dead?"
Another Felidaeans grabbed him by the shoulder, breathing hard. "No. We’re alive."
Their last memory was being hunted by human cultivators, then getting hit by an explosion from a rampaging wyvern.
The other Felidaeans quickly ran to them, their eyes filled with tears and gratitude.
Alice’s throat tightened.
She clenched her fist tightly while smiling at her people.
Alex and Mingyue looked at them, then decided to give them some privacy.
They called out to Vesa, then moved to Edonia.
On Edonia, inside a beautifully decorated garden, Alex and Mingyue appeared.
Moon’s eyes lit up the moment she saw them.
"Mom, Dad, finally you’re back."
Moon ran straight into them.
Alex caught her first, lifting her off the ground.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and squeezed tight.
Mingyue smiled than start patting her head..
"You ate properly?" Mingyue asked.
Moon nodded fast. "I did. Patricia never forget to remind me."
Alex tapped Moon’s forehead lightly.
"Are you being good?"
"I listened... Most of the time."
Alex chuckled, but his arms tightened around her.
Moon pulled back to look at them both.
"You took so long."
Mingyue’s gaze softened.
"We had many things to do."
Moon pouted. "You always say that."
Alex looked at Mingyue, then at Moon again. "Next week we will have a day specially for you."
Moon’s finally smiled, while keep hugging alex, not wanting to let go.
Then a clear throat sounded from the side.
Petricia stood near the garden, she stepped forward and lowered herself respectfully.
"Princess how about we play again, today I heard the kitchen is trying new cake recipe."
Moon’s head snapped up. "A new cake? Is it sweet?"
The word sweet make MIngYue look toward petricia.
petricia gave a small nod.
"Yes. Do you want to check it?"
Moon looked up at Mingyue and Alex.
Alex nodded. "Go. Don’t make a problem."
Mingyue added, "Tell the kitchen to bring some for us."
"Of course queen, I will deliver it shortly with other refreshment."
After they left, the garden turned silent again.
Alex snapped his fingers, and a holographic display of the universe appeared in front of them.
Three star systems were marked, each showing a percentage between 50% and 89%.
"Vesa, have you confirmed his location?"
Vesa appeared in the air.
"I haven’t found him yet, my king. Those places are dangerous, so I need to search carefully."
Right now, Alex and Mingyue’s next step was to find the real prince.
They needed to capture him to prepare for the next step of the plan.
