24 A little of fluffiness (1/2)
”SHIT!”
”Right now that I was almost asleep,” Nero grunted when he heard the knocking sound at the door.
”The breakfast is ready. Come eat with us.” Nero could hear Xun Lan calling him in a very cheerful tone. But he was not in a good mood. If normal people can be in a bad mood for waking up early, vampires can get worse because they hate mornings even more.
”Breakfast!? DOUBLE SHIT!!” Nero couldn't believe he was being prevented from sleeping to eat. He does not eat typical food. ”Will they serve me a glass of blood? Oh yes, nobody knows what a vampire is.”
”If you want, I can come in there to help you out of bed...Maybe help you get dressed...I don't mind...” Xun Lan started speaking clearly, but soon the tone dropped and ended up whispering. She was trying to be bold, but she was still a little shy.
”Really? Can it get any worse?” Nero was starting to panic. He could handle bloody scenes well, but he didn't know what to do with Xun Lan's advances.
In fact, Nero knew how to solve the problem for good. ”Tearing her throat, separating her head from the body! Muahahahahahaha!” He kept thinking like that every time he saw Xun Lan giving him flirty looks.
Nero loved to tear throats. That is definitely not a good habit, and Sarah was encouraging him to stop that kind of thinking whenever he doesn't know what to do. She wouldn't let him kill Xun Lan just because she fell in love with him.
”Does your silence mean yes?” Xun Lan was already very nervous about being saying these things in the corridor. Still, when Nero didn't answer, she thought he was also shy. So she prepared to take that first step for them and reached for the door handle.
”Aaah!” Xun Lan was already immersed in thoughts of what kinds of things she and Nero would do and did not notice when he abruptly opened the door and almost reached for something else.
”I will not have breakfast. I ate at the Dai Family's house, and I am satisfied now.” Nero spoke in a serious tone, so he quickly closed the door before being harassed by that stupid girl.
”Aww, he must be timid. I prefer it that way because when he is mine, I will have no problem keeping him away from other women.” Xun Lan sighed and turned to leave, but she was happy that Nero seemed shy. She didn't think for a moment that he was not attracted to her, who was such a beautiful young woman.
”Wait! What does he mean? Did he eat at the Dai Family house? He didn't go there to kill? But did he snack after killing more than half of them?” Xun Lan stopped thinking about romantic fantasies when she remembered what Nero said then left with many doubts in mind.
”If it were your Little Fox, you would be very pleased to accept her help, right?” Sarah asked in a sarcastic tone.
”It depends on whether you would be angry or not.” Nero was sincere because he didn't want to lie. Since the first time he saw Marie, he would love to eat her as breakfast or anytime.
”Yes! I would be angry!” It didn't take Sarah even half a second to make her point clear.
”So, what am I going to do while you have no physical body? Even you must be tired of watching what I do in the bath.” Nero knew that Sarah watched him in the bath even though she didn't admit it.
”I do not know what you're talking about! Just focus on getting strong and stay away from those ears!!” Sarah was embarrassed to be discovered so easily, but she was stubborn and would never admit it.
”But, I'm not even thinking about any ears!!” He was also stubborn and would not admit that he thought much about Marie's fluffy ears.
So Nero and Sarah were silent. Ten minutes later Nero chose to go to the damn breakfast just to get out of that tense atmosphere.

”Aren't you going with your sister?” Xun He asked his son because he worried about Xun Feng staying in Abun and regretting not having had good adventures with Xun Lan in the Black Sword Sect.
Xiong Zhelan planned to take two people as a disciple. He was sure that Xun Lan and Dai Zhi would be the right choice, but now he didn't want to have anything to do with the Dai Family to avoid having problems with Nero.
So he had to choose someone else or just stay with Xun Lan. He understood that Nero thinks well of the Xun Family even though they were not great friends. And he also became very close friends with Xun He, so taking the Xun siblings wouldn't be too bad even if Xun Feng wasn't very talented.
”I already made up my mind, dad. I am fine here, and I have no ambition to become super strong or live great adventures. Just living here with you is good enough for me.” Xun Feng made his point clear.
Xun Feng liked the simple things in life. He was a cultivator to help protect his family, but he had no big ambitions, so he was happy to live in a small land like Abun. He also knew that his sister would be fine without him with the protection of Xiong Zhelan, so it was better to continue here with his father.
”I understand. If that's how you want it, I promise that I won't talk about it anymore. It's not like I hate my son to want to send him away.” Xun He wanted the best for his children, but if Xun Feng will be happier here with him, it's okay. He is glad to have his son by his side.
”Ah, Nero! Good Morning.” Xiong Zhelan was the first to notice Nero entering the door as he had the sense of a Martial Warrior.
”I'm not hungry. I just came here to find out what time we will be leaving.” Nero went straight to the point. They had already decided everything the day before about the journey. They thought it would be better to leave the city in the morning to be able to camp in a place in the mountains that Xiong Zhelan knew.
”Ah, yes. We will finish breakfast and next prepare to go.” Xiong Zhelan wanted to give Xun Lan a good breakfast and time to say goodbye to her father and family before they left.
