Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Then, a realization came to MingYue's mind. "Alex, do you ever consider Byakhee doesn't make you emotionless? He is suppressing your human presence and amplifying the vampire to break the balance.

This makes sense as to why we can't find it. Even after I entered your inner world, there was no clue. It's because he was playing with something outside our ability."

"That is possible, but it doesn't change anything. We need to do something that can trigger my emotions."

'Something huge? But even after we kissed, his emotions barely moved. Doing more is out of the question for me now, and I doubt that will be useful,' MingYue thought.

While he was busy thinking, Alex used the time to observe the baby once more. She was still sleeping peacefully without a care in the world.

He then started infusing lifeforce energy bit by bit into the baby. At a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, the baby's appearance started to change again. The upper part became even more human-like. The biggest change happened in the organs—they matured very quickly. The lungs could now breathe both water and air.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

'Is her adaptation good because of lifeforce?'

Alex had never infused it into a human baby before, so he didn't know, but lifeforce seemed to have a very good effect on the growth phase. He then tried to infuse mana into the baby to see if it was a unique reaction or not.

The result baffled him. The mermaid's heart started transforming; it became translucent blue as it absorbed the mana Alex gave.

At this point, Alex realized the baby was unique. She had the ability to adapt very quickly, even creating new organs on the fly. This made him want to experiment more.

'Before, without air, the baby was gasping for breath, but that was because she didn't have the energy to make any changes. Now, utilizing my life force, she can adapt to many things.'

Curious, he started raising the water temperature. The baby's skin turned red at first but then quickly shed away, regrowing new skin that was more durable against the heat.

Alex's eyes lit up. He started raising the temperature even more, to the point that the water started bubbling and turning into steam.

Hearing the sound, MingYue realized what had happened. She wanted to berate Alex, but seeing the baby still sleeping peacefully while continuing to evolve baffled her.

"As long as the change is gradual enough, the body will keep evolving to face it. The baby doesn't even feel anything. It seems the pain receptors are turned off right now."

This was the only reason Alex could find. Otherwise, there was no way the baby could sleep peacefully.

Alex's finger then painted the air, creating a new rune that he sent to the rune formation. The water started crackling with electricity.

This time, Alex saw another new organ created, absorbing the element.

"Just how does it decide what to absorb or what to defend against?" Alex mumbled in confusion.

"Probably by gauging the benefit—whichever requires more resources to be done. I doubt her body reacts in a complicated way. If it's easier to defend, it will do that; if it's harder, then it will find a way to absorb it. But Alex, stop already. If you keep going, what's the limit? Your curiosity will just grow nonstop."

"But don't you find it fascinating, MingYue? I don't think this is the first creature like this to appear in your world."

"Well, it's the first one to grow with pure lifeforce injected into it."

"Yes, the lifeforce manifests their essence. I've already tested it, and it works."

MingYue gave it some thought and then said, "Let's do it, Alex, enhance our human part. Fusing it may be better, but then what? There are too many factors you will need to ensure for it to be safe."

"You sure?"

"Yes, and with this, you should be able to get your emotions back if the cause really comes from Byakhee."

If it wasn't because of trauma, then he would need to break through Byakhee's influence to strengthen his human essence. Alex had only tested this a bit, so he still couldn't say for sure if it was really Byakhee or not.

"Alright, let's do that then," Alex quickly decided. Read the latest on empire

Trying to fuse could result in a better or worse end, but he was motivated more by curiosity rather than becoming stronger.

Both of them then closed their eyes and started pouring lifeforce energy toward their human essence. The creatures that had died frozen in the lake started turning into green particles.

Most of them were pouring into Alex's body since he had almost spent all his stockpile with everything that had happened. MingYue, on the other hand, still had plenty.

But as both of them were busy doing this, they didn't realize that part of the particles also started flowing toward the baby mermaid. It was to the point that the water turned green like it was a liquified form of life force.

At first, it was only a small amount, but as time passed, the distribution started changing, skewed toward the baby. She took almost 60% of the life force.

Qi, mana, and lifeforce started bursting out from MingYue's body, intertwining together, then disappearing like it had never been there.

It wasn't that it had really gone; MingYue fused it all and then poured it into her golden core. It then started growing at unprecedented speed.

Her soul floated in her inner world, seeing a huge transformation beginning to happen. The frozen world started changing. A lake appeared in the middle, with many lotus flowers made of ice on top of it.

Snow with a pinkish hue fell from the sky, painting the land in exotic colors.

Then, a crimson tree emerged from the land. It then started sprouting flowers that looked like lotuses.

"Mystic Integration Stage," MingYue mumbled, but she didn't stop there.

She started pouring her understanding of the elements into the world.
