Chapter 279: Coming into Alex's Worlds
The new populace has also started mingling together, so there is really nothing I can do there now."
Seeing both of them decided, Vesa grinned, her finger moved weaving a rune, which then glowed and covered all of them.
As they disappeared, what remained was just empty space filled with numerous debris and the lifeless husks of countless leviathans.
Alex and MingYue next found themselves in his room. MingYue looked at everything with interest; her first focus was on the VR headset.
It\'s the one that Alex modified with an immersive experience to recreate scenes from novels like a movie. MingYue had asked for this before, but since he hadn\'t had the time to create another one, he followed up on her wish.
"We are not in a hurry, right? I want to try it."
"Sure, don\'t forget to change your clothing to follow my world\'s fashion."
"Don\'t worry, now, shoo, go. I believe you need to prepare an ID for me," MingYue replied with a smirk.
She was now wearing an artifact from the Xueqi family\'s vault, allowing the clothes to change to anything she wanted. As she had watched many movies from Alex\'s world, she knew the fashion sense here.
Leaving alone, MingYue didn\'t directly use the VR headset; instead, she went to the window looking outside.
Since they were at SGE now, MingYue could only see a beautiful garden and the forest. But the atmosphere told her she was in a different world now as there was barely any qi in the air, with only mana existing.
The only reason qi even existed here was because Alex practiced cultivation in this place.
Looking around, she noticed a table filled with many scientific instruments and a wall filled with many photos.
The photos mostly consisted of his mother and sister. Only one had a complete picture of them: Alex\'s father, Edward, smiling and carrying Alex as a child on his shoulder.
On the side was Luca carrying Emily. The picture was filled with smiles, making MingYue let out a deep sigh.
It was a family she wanted to have in the past but never got. Meanwhile, Alex had it, but it was broken.
She took the photo, her finger tracing the smiling faces.
"Which one is worse, hoping to get one and never getting it or having one and losing it?"
"I don\'t think you can compare it like that, Queen; both are bad scenarios that people don\'t want to face."
"You don\'t follow Alex?" MingYue asked without looking back.
"No, I just want to look at the area before going back to Edonia.
There are many things I need to maintain. Right now, the place is in the middle of a civil war."
"Not surprising. Do you need my help?" MingYue asked.
With the main pillar of power gone, the royals wanting more influence would certainly try to fight to fill the empty slot.
She could already guess that Pericia didn\'t mince words and said the place was now under Alex\'s control.
This would certainly raise a conflict since barely anyone knew Alex. Only Elvira would take her side.
With the incident, they suddenly found themselves in a strange location, and Thalia\'s disappearance, chaos, and panic were just a matter of time.
"Don\'t worry, Queen. As I said, I am Edonia\'s world spirit. As long as I am there, they wouldn\'t be able to do anything.
What about the BaiYue sect? If you want, I could also accommodate them here."
"Not now. Let them stay there. After we finish with Alex\'s matter, we will go to the central region and take over the whole place.
I believe there should be no one able to face us with modern weapons and people from that realm. Just maintain them."
Vesa grinned, as she already had her own plan to gain their loyalty. Alex might disagree if he knew, but for Vesa, it was the most efficient.
She was sure that as long as Alex saw the final result, he wouldn\'t blame her later on.
They might be forced in the beginning, but when they enjoy prosperity, none of them will regret it.
But first, there were many things she needed to put in place, like abolishing the class system. Alex had told her once very clearly that he didn\'t want slavery.
If they needed labor, they should create automatons or golems, basically, anything that is not sentient to put to work.
Vesa\'s body then disappeared, turning into a fog, returning to MingYue\'s body.
She could feel Vesa attaching herself to the deepest place of her inner world, a place where her soul is linked to Alex.
Then a thought came to her mind, "Since Alucard is in Alex\'s soul, and we are connected, doesn\'t this mean Alucard could go to mine too?" Read additional stories on m-vl-em-py-r
The idea made her frown, as she didn\'t like having an old geezer who could invade her privacy anytime.
At the very least, with Alex, the rules were clear; they could share if they wanted. If not, each of them had their own privacy.
MingYue closed her eyes and then focused on her inner world.
Compared to Alex\'s, hers was a serene lake with a frozen island in the middle. The lake was filled with many ice lotuses floating calmly.
She then dove deeper inside the lake, going to the connection. She could see something like a huge egg in the center, with a silhouette of Vesa\'s body inside.
She spread her senses, but to her surprise, she couldn\'t find any trace of Alucard.
"Vesa, where is Alucard?"
"I don\'t know, Queen. He may be hiding somewhere in the King\'s consciousness.
Or maybe he had already left the King without him knowing. But based on my knowledge of him, it\'s probably both," Vesa\'s voice reverberated in the world.
MingYue looked around once more, her gaze going down, and she saw the transparent surface she was standing on.
