Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Alex approached her and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, but to his surprise, Olivia moved closer and hugged him as she kept hitting his chest.

Alex sighed, knowing it was his fault. He should have at least called her. To think he let her in pain just because he felt too ashamed made him feel even guiltier.

After calming down, Olivia continued, "When you confessed to me, I was really surprised, Alex. I always thought of you as my little brother.

It's not that I cannot try to think of you like that, but I am afraid, Alex.

What if we have a fight? What if we then hate each other?

I cannot bear the thought of it, Alex. I have heard many stories where couples break up, and then they end up not being able to stay in the same room forever.

I don't want our relationship to be like that. I am really afraid to lose you..."

"I am sorry, Sis. Let's just forget about it, okay? Think of it as just my bad joke," Alex said in a low voice.

Olivia looked upward; her cheeks pouted, and her golden eyes gleamed, reflecting his face. "Are you telling me you ignored me for years over a joke, Alex?"

"That's not what I mean, Sis. I was just being stupid at that time, you know. I was a teenager full of hormones."

"So, confessing to me is stupid?"

"Come on, Sis, don't do this to me." Alex thought to himself, 'I take back my words. It's better facing that sly geezer rather than doing this!'

Olivia turned silent for a moment, then cupped his face and asked, "Do you still want to be with me, Alex?

I have thought about it many times. If you really say yes and promise to never leave me, then I will try to love you more than just my brother."

Alex gulped. If this had happened in the past, he would have jumped happily to cloud nine, but now he didn't.

Instead, he felt complicated and turned his gaze away, making Olivia's heart clench. She didn't need to hear his words to understand his feelings now.

"I see. Do you have another woman you like now? Tell your big sis about her."

Alex still looked away, making Olivia pout. She then pinched his cheeks, pulling them both, making him scream in pain.

"Ouch! Ouch! Sis!"

Olivia released his cheeks, making them return with a plop. Seeing Alex with both cheeks red made her chuckle and smile.

She took the handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eyes.

"Now tell me unless you want me to pull your cheeks again!" Olivia said sternly.

Alex still hesitated. Telling her about MingYue meant he needed to tell her about the cultivation world and Vesa.

But Alex realized, with how much suffering he caused her, the least he could do was tell her about it. If he hid it again, it would hurt Olivia, making her think he didn't believe in her.

"Sis, it's a long story," Alex said. He then took a steak knife from the table and, with one swift motion, made a small slash on his hand.

This made Olivia, who was close to him, scream in panic. "What the hell are you doing!?" Her hand glowed as she wanted to use her abilities to heal him.

But before she could do that, the wound had already healed with a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Alex then started to narrate his story again, this time from the start, where he went to meet with Prof. Faerith, then met up with Vesa, and then the cultivation world.

Alex wanted to stop the story at that point, but Olivia's glare made him continue. When he reached the point where he was going into hunger and hunting for life force, a slap hit him in the face.

The slap was so loud that it reverberated in the air, leaving a red mark on his cheek.

Alex was surprised by what Olivia did; he wanted to complain, but seeing the deep pain flickering in her golden eyes, he shut up. She moved her hand, glowing with golden light, back to the slapped cheek, recovering it to its normal color.

Petricia, who was watching from afar, at first wanted to intervene and take Olivia down since she hurt his king, but seeing Olivia heal him back, she decided to just watch from afar.

"Do you think your life is only yours, Alex? You gamble with your life like that?

There are so many things that can go wrong. Just one, and your life could end there. If your mother knew about this, she would beat you down until you cannot move."

Alex couldn't believe his mother would hit him; she never did that in her entire life. But she also didn't know what Alex did, and he now knew it was better for him to shut up.

But deep in his heart, he still felt nothing was wrong with it. He was sure his decision was right in that situation.

"I know that look. You think you did nothing wrong, right? Maybe the situation called for it, but do you still not see your fault, ALEX?

Doesn't your ability allow you to see every probability? Now tell me the answer!"

Alex frowned. He felt wronged since he still thought he was right.

He kept thinking about what he could have done better at that time, but other than gathering life force from the beginning, he had no other idea.

"Alex, did you really not find the answer? I don't believe it.

The answer is there; you just don't want to say it. Alex, I know you are capable, even when your sister tells me you play games all day at home.

I know you are one of the people I can depend on if something happens. But sometimes, you're dumb to a fault.

How could you forget about the people around you?

Alex, if something happened at that time to you and Emily, who would feel the pain afterward? Tell me!"
