Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

The result surprised him since he didn't expect it to be this easy. But even after this, the spider queen was not fazed. Instead, her lips curled into a grin.

The blood, rather than liquid, was more like slime and one that was alive. It quickly reconnected with the Queen's shoulder while the hand itself shot out toward MingHao.

The claw grew longer and sharp, coming toward his neck.

With his current position, MingHao could not dodge. He braced himself, preparing to face the poison that would soon enter his body.

But just before it could reach him, a shield flew like a boomerang, blocking her attack. The Queen turned her gaze upward, and this time, she shot out another web that turned into something like a shield.

BAM!

A sword clashed with the shield. XueFang's puppet landed on it and jumped toward the Queen spider's body.

"Xue Fang?" MingHao called out. He then felt something pulling him from behind.

Only now that they were close could he feel her presence. He didn't understand how she could find him since the fog had also sharply reduced their detection ability.

"Yes, let's run for now. We cannot defeat her."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing her regeneration ability, MingHao felt the same. Even if they could win, it would probably take a lot from them.

Two more damaged puppets appeared, running toward the spider queen. Then, a loud boom reverberated in the area.

Seeing this, MingHao also shot out a few Qi blasts.

"BASTARD!!! You think I will let you leave that easily!?" the spider queen roared in anger.

The cavern then started to shake; the ground cracked, and dust and dirt fell from the ceiling.

"Is it because of our attack?" MingHao asked.

"No, the explosion is concentrated on the spider queen; it shouldn't hit any foundation for the cavern. This is the Queen's doing."

"XueFang, careful." MingHao pulled her to the side as part of the ceiling fell to where she had stood before. Enjoy new adventures from empire

This confused MingHao, as she should have been able to detect this. 'Is she exhausted? But she could find me before.'

Unfortunately, before he could ask further, the ground cracked open, and the whole cavern collapsed on itself. Black fog then came out from the rubble and started gathering in the sky, transforming into the spider queen in her humanoid form.

Her eyes glanced coldly at the rubble, then toward DaYing city. "It seems they will be released soon. This place is not safe for me."

A pair of bird wings then came out from her back, and she flew far away from the area.

Meanwhile, inside the rubble, a small safe spot was created. MingHao used his qi, turning it into a solid sphere.

Xue Fang then took out a small puppet, its height barely reaching her knee. She then started giving them orders.

"MingHao, focus your qi in that direction," she said while pointing toward a specific area.

The small puppet moved agilely; they started taking out some tools and materials, creating a makeshift pillar.

It didn't take long for the space to get stabilized. Xue Fang then ordered them to start building a tunnel outside.

MingHao took out a portable light and a chair.

"I never knew you had that kind of puppet."

"Because I never had the need to use them. In the past, I used them often to help with the construction work in the Village.

At first, they were as big as adult males, but I made them smaller since this made it easier for them to build in small spaces."

"No wonder, then."

Construction workers usually had large figures so they could carry more stuff, but this was not a problem since storage rings existed. The puppets were also equipped in a way that allowed them to fly, turning them into very efficient builders.

If Alex knew about them, he would copy their mechanisms and mass-produce them. It's not that he couldn't make one himself; he just never looked into it.

"What do you plan next?" Xue Fang asked.

Even though she ordered them to make a tunnel outside, there was a possibility the spider queen was waiting for them.

"How about you make the tunnel directly to the crater?"

"That is possible, but won't it be riskier? I am sure whatever is inside is stronger than that spider queen.

Even though there is a possibility those people finished them, what if they didn't?

When we go out, we could face a dangerous situation."

"…"

"But if you insist, I don't mind going. Just remember, the puppets I have left now are useless ones."

"Wait, how many puppets do you have left? I mean, these so-called useless ones."

"Hmm… 28, not more than that."

"That should be enough, then. I have that secret weapon our sect created with me. It only needs three operators."

"Is the weapon that good?"

"I don't know how well it performs, but I heard it was created to fight against the immortal."

"How could that be in your hand, then?"

"Well…"

"You stole it?" Xue Fang asked while rolling her eyes.

"Not stealing, it's just borrowing. In the end, everything is owned by my sister anyway."

"But I am sure your sister didn't give it to you. I heard about that weapon; it's still in the experimental stage, and I don't know how to operate it."

"Don't worry, I have the manual with me. I'm sure you can learn it quickly, Xue Fang."

"Let's do that later, then. I want to ask you something first, MingHao."

"Sure, what do you want to know?"

"I just want confirmation: what are we now?"

MingHao's cheeks turned red as he started to remember what happened between them. He hadn't thought about it much, but one thing was clear to him: he would never leave her alone.

"I don't know what the right word is, but you are someone important to me. As long I live I will never allow something bad happen to you."

Xue Fang's lips curled into a smile. "That's enough for now."
