Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 40 - 40: MingHao's Decision

They couldn't fight back since the chains binding them were made with a special formation that prevented them from using any Qi.

MingHao started walking slowly toward them; when he got close, he froze again.

Seeing his cousins' expressions filled with fear, tears, and snot, his heart began to falter.

They started begging him to spare them.

"Don't kill us, please. No matter what, we are still family."

"Yeah, we will sign a slave contract. Just spare us."

"We will be more useful to you if you let us live."

MingHao turned his gaze to his sister, but MingYue didn't move, only sternly glaring at him.

He sighed, knowing that meant his sister wouldn't compromise.

In MingYue's eyes, they were just useless; they had too much ego, to the point they couldn't even use their brains correctly.

Even with a slave contract, the normal commoner was more useful than they were.

Their best use now was to give her little brother real-life experience.

Seeing MingHao still hesitate, MingYue spoke again with a stern tone, "MingHao!"

MingHao's body shook again; he then looked at the surroundings.

ZanLu just nodded, giving some encouragement to go for it, but the rest of the commoners only watched with glee, as if they were watching a show.

Some even looked at his cousin with hatred.

He could see no one would ask to spare his cousin.

"MingHao, do you forget we played together before? Spare me!"

"If you let me live, I could warm your bed at night; we are far cousins, so that should be alright," said one of the attractive women in the group.

The memories of the past started surfacing in his mind; in the past, although they hadn't played often, he had a good relationship with them since they always praised him to the sky.

But after his mother's actions, everything changed.

They always bullied him every chance they got.

Remembering the cursing words made his grip on the sword tighten.

The words that hurt him the most were how they cursed his family.

And now that their lives were in his hands, they started begging like crazy.

MingHao then realized how ugly their hearts were.

Then a melodious voice reached his ear, "Brat, not everyone is like that.

There are many types of people in this world; some are trash like them, and some aren't.

But that's not really important.

Are you a saint? You're a cultivator.

I'm not telling you to kill everyone on your path, but those that pose a threat, kill them without mercy."

MingHao knew his sister was right; the path of cultivation was harsh.

His uncle had also told him this many times before.

MingHao closed his eyes and moved his qi to shut his ears.

But another voice carried by Qi reached his ears, "Do that, then this is pointless.

You might as well spare them and stay here.

You can treat them however you like then.

I won't judge you."

He opened his eyes again; this time, his amber eyes flickered with determination.

Staying here and lazing around with his cousin as his slave?

That might sound appealing to some people, but not for MingHao.

He wanted to get stronger and help his sister and family.

When they had attacked the mansion before, they had

She then turned her gaze to ZanLu.

"Keep the city on lockdown, then prepare the people to go with us."

"Yes, miss, anything else?" ZanLu asked.

"How about the one I asked you to prepare?

Is it ready?"

ZanLu nodded.

"Everything is prepared; we are just waiting for your order to start."
