Sternritter Calendar

Some time after Xiao Lingxi left, Xia Qingyue turned back, this time she was wearing a blue and white dress.

Jean: The blue suits you more than red… Anyway, thanks for the soup, it was delicious.

Xia Qingyue: Mm… The Xiao Sect people will arrive this afternoon. The leader is the youngest son of the Xiao Sect's master, called Xiao Kuangyun.

I heard master say that this Xiao Kuangyun's profound strength cultivation can only be considered average among the younger generation of the Xiao Sect, and his reputation abroad is extremely poor. However, he is excessively spoiled because he's the youngest son. There's no one in Floating Cloud City that dares to provoke him. It's best to try to avoid meeting him face to face.

Jean: *Sigh* That will be hard… Thanks for telling me, Qingyue.

He looked at his watch and saw it was the 11:23.

[Later]

The Xiao Clan was completely clean due to the news of the incoming Xiao Sect.

Xiao Yunhai, the Clan Master, immediately checked if everything was in order when at the 16:00, someone called him.

?: Clan Master! They… they've arrived!! Xiao Sect's people have arrived… That loftiness… it's definitely the Xiao Sect!

Xiao Yunhai: Quick! Immediately notify everyone to be ready. I definitely won't forgive anyone who messes up and offends the noble guests! Fellow elders, follow me out to meet them at once!

Then he and the elders hastily walked to the main entrance and found 4 people walking towards them.

The one leading the other 3 people was a young man around 20 years with luxurious clothing, a normal build, and mediocre features. His face contained a trace of sallowness, his appearance that of an excessive hedonist.

However, even such an ordinary face was full of wild arrogance and haughtiness. His hands were behind his back, his eyes looking upwards, not even glancing at the occasional passerby.

Xiao Yunhai: *Deep breath* Excuse me, are you four the noble guests from the Xiao Sect?

The man leading the group stepped forward and lazily said.

?: That's right, this noble one is the Xiao Sect's Xiao Kuangyun.

Xiao Yunhai: It turned out to be four noble guests, that's great! We have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. Your humble servant is Floating Cloud City's Xiao Clan's current clan master. The five behind me are the Xiao Clan's five esteemed elders. For four noble guests to come out all this way for our Xiao Clan, we are extremely grateful and humbled.

Xiao Kuangyun: There's no need to continue with the nonsense. Lead the way!

Xiao Yunhai: Yes, yes! Please follow me.

Then Xiao Yunhai guided the guests inside the Xiao Clan whole asking some questions to the other people.

Xiao Yunhai: I'm afraid I don't recognize this senior…

A man replied coldly, as if he was a corpse.

?: Xiao Moshan.

After that, Xiao Yunhai didn't speak anymore.

[Night]

Jean and Xia Qingyue were in the bedroom that was brightened from some candles, Jean was drinking tea while Xia Qingyue talked.

Xia Qingyue: I saw the Xiao Sect's Xiao Kuangyun today.

Jean: What about him?

Xia Qingyue: He is like his name. (An: Kuangyun = Wild/Violent cloud)

Jean took another sip and held his eyes closed, his watch vibrated and he laid down his cup of tea before watching his watch without hiding anything from Xia Qingyue, who looked at him in curiosity.

[00:00]

[29/9/1994]

[Z: "Zombie"]

She watched him press some buttons while talking.

Jean: Did he see you?

Xia Qingyue: Yes, why?

Jean: I think he is planning something to take you with him, I know his type of people…

"Zombie: Ability: Whoever get touched from your blood will turn into a zombie, obeying to any single order you give, depending on the power of the target, the blood required also changes, it could also be need to put the blood in the heart and spread throughout the entire body, making them have reddish skin.

They can also speak, even if in fragments, however, their blood doesn't have the same ability of yours, the fresher the corpse, the better it is, you can also make their personality vanish in the process.

You can also heal yourself or the others by using the flesh of the dead people to replace their own with yours and vice versa, the flesh used will turn into the one with the same properties of your own flesh, you can also endure and heal yourself of any fatal injury.

Effects: Nothing notable. People who were alive and got zombified will turn back to normal once midnight passes, while people who were already dead will stay as a zombie forever and obey to you."

Jean: *Whistle* Well, Qingyue, communicate with your master about this subject, we don't know what he might try.

Xia Qingyue: I understand.

Jean glanced back at Xia Qingyue and said with a smile.

Jean: Relax a bit, you don't need to be every single moment like that, you need to let out your emotions sometimes, it will be harmful for you if you contain them too much.

Xia Qingyue closed her eyes and Jean waited for her answer, before he saw her standing up and going in the bed without even saying a word, making Jean sigh. Like always, he laid down the watch on the table and got to sleep since at the 3:00 he will need to work again.

[Morning]

Today was the Xiao Clan's busiest day. The entrance was already densely crowded with every sort of people.

Everyone waited until 9:00, in front of a platform set up in the main courtyard before dawn.

The last one to arrive was Jean, holding hands with Xia Qingyue, who seemed to have opened her heart a but for him, and holding hands with her and sleeping together was already a big step with an Ice Queen type of girl, now the next step was hugging and then kissing, but the last one will be hard to do it now.

(An: I don't care what you say, this is the most true version of Xia Qingyue's current personality for me, even if now she is a bit near to MC, whatever you may have read in other ATG fanfics with her falling in love like a drug addicted girl or getting jealous just in 3 words, that's pure bullshit in front of my eyes.)

Xia Qingyue looked really elegant about how she was walking and her posture, her elegance attracted everyone's attention, then there was Jean…

He looked tired as f.u.c.k, he used his free hand to cover his mouth for a yawn while black bags appeared under his eyes, his hair was a mess, he looked like he survived 10 hours of s.e.x from a horny s.u.c.c.u.b.u.s…

Wait what?

Everyone's eyes turned angry when they thought about that and were glaring daggers at him, but Jean didn't give a f.u.c.k about them.

When the couple reached Xiao Lie, he observed the two of them before he chuckled.

Xiao Lie: Che'er, you're still too young. You're only half grown, and your body is still developing. Concerning these matters between men and women, you should control yourself as much as possible or else it may harm your body.

Jean: Hmm? Yeah… Yeah… I'll control myself the next time. *Yawn* So… Ouch!

His sleepy face was gone after Xia Qingyue pinched his hand, he turned around with a frown before he got shocked.

Was that a small tinge of red? Oh f.u.c.k… We are going on the Kuudere path, aren't we?

When he was thinking about that possibility, his other hand got pinched from Xiao Lingxi, making him frown again.

Jean: What the hell? Is there a competition to see how many times you can pinch me?

Xiao Lingxi: Hmph!

Jean sighed and looked back at the platform.

?: Young Master Xiao has arrived!

Everyone turned towards the source of the sound, finding Xiao Kuangyun guided from Xiao Yunhai toward the platform, before he sat on the seat of the honored guest

Jean: And that's how I thought that my expectations for someone couldn't fall lower… I was really wrong.

Xiao Lingxi: One hundred of him can't compare with Little Che!

Then she remembered she was supposed to be angry for Jean and turned her head away while letting out a *Hmph!*.
