The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 168
Advertisement
After the award ceremony, Yang Dao was again surrounded by the reporters asking him a variety of questions, such as how will he donate the money, if he would like to go professional in racing, what are his interests and what are his business aspirations.
The boy replied to all of them and after one question each he told them that Feng Yun has been waiting for him. With that indirect threat, the people all let him go. They were content that Yang Doa answered to them. Even though it was a concise answer, but his smile was enough compensation.
...
Yang Dao carried a crystal trophy and came to the hall reserved for his VIP guests and pit crew. The people all cheered for him, they popped open some champagne bottle and were about to shower it on him when they felt a cold gaze locked on their back, and they all froze.
Laohu Bai walked forward and hugged Yang Dao tightly. She said, "Congratulations."
Yang Dao replied, "Thank you." the people all came over to thank him. They were all happy when Mika walked over followed by her grandfather.
The atmosphere turned somber. Mika was a beautiful girl, she had been prideful her whole life and this sudden apologizing in front of everyone made her a bit flustered. Still, she clenched her teeth and was about to bow down when Yang Dao said, "Shut down all the recording devices if this is leaked. You will deal with The Phoenix group."
His words deterred a few reporters who were still recording with their mobile phones. Mika was hesitant because she did not want the world to make a joke about her. Now that the boy she lost to made a move on her behalf, how could she hesitate?

The girl knelt on the ground and said, "I apologize. I was wrong in my belief. You were right, if speed is not controlled it will lead to death. I am very sorry for my behavior. Please forgive me." as she said all this, tears formed in her eyes.
Tears of regret. Yang Dao took a step forward and helped her up. He said with a smile, "You are a very good racer, Mika. You have the heart and the mind to reach the pinnacle of this profession but what stopped you was the blind chase of speed. Now that is gone, you can start anew."
He noticed that the girl was not looking in his eyes, alas the confidence was shaken. Yang Dao held her hand and asked her grandfather if he can take her out for a bit.
Feng Yun and the others did not stop him despite feeling some heat in their hearts. Yang Dao was loved by all of the women here. How can they not be jealous if he just went out of the party they held for him?
...
A boy wearing a black and white jumpsuit dragged a girl wearing a red jumpsuit behind him. The two people came to where Quinn was parked. He had taken the keys from Feng Yun earlier before coming out.
He opened the door and said, "Mika, sit inside." his soft voice made the girl feel a flutter in her heart.
She nodded meekly and sat in the passenger seat. Yang Dao had asked Dillon to make sure that no staff was on the track, lest they met some accident. He sat in the driver's seat and started the car. He drove it through the building and came to the track.
He said, "Why do you not look at me?" the car was already moving on the track.

Mika shook her head and said, "I lost to you. I wronged you yesterday. I am ashamed to look in your eyes." her voice was filled with remorse.
The boy hummed and kept driving at a fast speed. He said, "You make mistakes but cannot admit them?"
Mika said quickly, "No, I admit that I made a mistake. I am guilty." Yang Dao hummed and continued to drive.
Subconsciously the girl gazed at how he was controlling the car. Then her head raised a bit and glanced outside the window. A true driver and racing fanatic can never ignore the urge to look at the fast-changing scenery when they were moving.
Yang Dao said, "You have only done half the work. When you have the guts to correct your mistakes. Only then can you be guilt-free. It is not sure when that will happen but every journey begins with one step forward. Am I right?"
His calm and soft demeanor resonated with the girls, shaken heart. She looked at his side profile. Yang Dao smiled slightly as he kept driving. Then he said, "That is good. Also, I never mentioned it before but you are beautiful, and it was nice to race with you."
Mika froze when Yang Dao complimented her. She did not hear a single word afterward if you ask her. His focused gaze as he drove the vehicle, seemed to make her heartbeat accelerate.
Yang Dao spoke for a long time before he turned to look at her. He was stunned to see her charming flushed face. Their eye matched and Yang Dao made a drift on the track without turning his head to look at the track.
The car did slow down a bit, Mika unconsciously raised her hand, placed it on Yang Dao's lap, making him jerk his foot and almost crushing the accelerator. Thankfully they entered the straight and Yang Dao still had some sense of sanity left.
Despite being sober he could not take his eyes off of Mika. The two gradually leaned over until their lips touched. The boy pressed the breaks hard and moved the stirring. The car spun like a disc on the asphalt as the two people were busy kissing each other.
The first time did Yang Dao took initiative for a real kiss and the reason was an impulse.
...
In the party hall, Laohu Bai said, "Sister Yun, why are you looking at the track?"
Feng Yun stood on the balcony and was gazing at the car standing on the track. The car was as big as a mole in normal people's eyes but she could see that Yang Dao was kissing Mika. She said, "Nothing much. Ask eldest to give Young Master the 'men talk' they do when a guy grows up."

The Essence of Cultivation
After experiencing five years of an adventurer's life, Arcanist Sylar Wershin now spends his days catching up on developments in Essence Studies and teasing apart the functions of arcane trinkets and artifacts discovered by him and his companions throughout their time travelling the realms of Resham. An unexpected accident during the study of his latest subject of intrigue, however, displaces him across the Planes beyond what any known spell is capable of achieving. Now finding himself lost in a realm rich in previously-limited Transcendental Essences, however, does he truly even want to return back to his old world? If nothing else, plagiarising - ahem, learning new spell structures by observing the local mages should prove entertaining. Sure, there were new dangers in this foreign world, but they wouldn't be anything a fancy bit of spellwork couldn't solve. Though, he would appreciate it greatly if someone could explain to him just what this 'cultivation' business was, why the local Mages were all muscle-brained freaks obsessed with immortality, and why they all seemed to lack any appreciation for the finer details of Essence manipulation. That would be nice.

Being unable to even take his own life, Damien struggles to get past each day, looking for something to live for. With every passing day, Damien becomes more solemn and impassive. Three months later, Damien has almost given up, but to his surprise something unexpected happens. He is given the chance of a lifetime; to take part in a study focused on researching the effects of VR games on quadriplegic patients. Authors Note: If you find that the dialogue from the prologue to chapter 5 seem to be not that smooth, I apologize for that, it was my first time writing a fanfic so the dialogue was not in a format that is ideal. However, due to reader comments and some research I will try to attempt to improve the dialogue from chapter 6 and onwards. I may or may not come back to edit the first few chapters since I would have to rewrite most of it and I would rather spend that time writing out more of the story.
