The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 254
Advertisement
Yang Dao stopped preaching and went inside the kitchen to learn about the apple pie recipe under the surprised and awed gazes of the people. He learned how to balance spiciness with sweetness and taught the chef a dish from Liro.
He taught the chef how to make moon cakes using different ingredients. The chef was happy and he thanked him repeatedly. Yang Dao was all smiles, he asked Laohu Bai to pay the bill. Although the chef denied he said, "It is fine. Please do not make me indebted."
Hearing this the owner did not hesitate more and accepted the rays. Laohu Bai saw the little girl Jenna was favored by Yang Dao and she secretly gave her a wisp of earth element. The girl will definitely be a genius elemental in the future.
Just as the two people were about to walk out, Old Minister Orion said, "Lord, please wait."
Yang Dao asked, "What is it, Old Sir? Can I do something for you?" he respected the man for his age.
Laohu Bai stood behind him silently. Surprisingly, she would only guide Yang Dao when they were alone. In front of the people, she would act like a servant, always guarding and serving him.
Orion said, "Lord, your words glorify me. This humble one would like to extend the invitation of the queen. We would be obliged to have you in the palace." his voice was low and his back was bent.
Yang Dao thought for a bit and said, "Very well. I shall visit the palace."
Orion's eyes flashed with excitement. He replied, "Please." and made the gesture for him to be ahead.
The boy nodded and walked forward with Laohu Bai half a step behind him. Orion followed two steps behind them. Yang Dao asked, "Baibai, can we find the records in the palace?"
The records in his mouth were the books Laohu Bai said will teach him about the light and the dark. Hearing his question the white-haired girl nodded. Yang Dao nodded and they walked out of the Inn.
...
After coming out they saw a contingent of the soldiers standing on both sides of the entrance. Yang Dao stopped walking and his gaze scoured over the soldiers, he was very vigilant since the unexpected hug.
Orion walked over behind him and said, "Lord, these are the solider of the light. They are my personal guards." his voice carried a tint of pride. Although it was low but was still noticed by Yang Dao. He nodded. They were just about to take a step forward when the soldiers all nodded. They all spoke up, "We have seen the Emissary of heavens."

Yang Dao smiled but the corner of his mouth was twitching slightly. Laohu Bai smiled as well, but her smile was the one of gloating. If not for the sake of the boy glaring at her sideways along with his image she would have laughed out loud. Yang Dao waved his hand and lifted the soldiers. He said, "You people are soldiers and I am a soldier as well, do not kneel in front of anyone except your parents. You carry the hope and lives of the citizens on your shoulders. You shall be respected."
After this, Orion then led him to the carriage standing in the distance. It was a four-wheeled carriage, pulled by four white horses, the carriage was decorated with white and golden engravings. It looked very elegant. Orion personally took the initiative to open the door for him.
Yang Dao got up followed by Laohu Bai. Orion was the last person to climb up. The carriage was very luxuriously decorated and it had soft fur covering the seats. They sat and the carriage moved forward surrounded by the soldiers. Yang Dao gazed outside the window saw a lot of people outside on the street. They all looked at the carriage with reverence in their eyes.
He sat silently, lost in deep thought. Laohu Bai was similar to him. She also sat beside him with her eyes closed. Orion gazed at the two of them at first he wanted to engage in conversation but he did not have any guts to disturb the two people.
Suddenly Yang Dao leaned onto Laohu Bai's shoulders and closed his eyes. The girl opened her eyes and smiled. She gazed at Orion and said, "Do not disturb him until he wakes up."
Orion was shocked because Laohu Bai did not move her lips when she talked. The man hurriedly nodded. Laohu Bai made a barrier around Yang Dao just to be safe. The boy had fallen into a state of epiphany. He was thinking about what the people in this place expected from him and gradually he started to see through the people and the mysteries of the laws.
Laohu Bai had earlier thought that he might need some tutors or hermits teaching to help him but it did not seem necessary at the moment. Yang Dao was unlike the other Dao Child who came here in the past. He had a clean mindset that he was a normal human and he did not know anything. He never thought that he knew everything about something.

The biggest difference between him and his predecessors was that the boy had a firm belief in the sense of balance and his instincts. This was the reason why he was able to look into the mysterious laws of the heavens.
As Yang Dao was indulged in his epiphany the convoy entered the royal palace. Usually, the carriage would have stopped at the gates of the palace. After Laohu Bai's instruction, Orion stepped out and told people not to be loud. He had quickly sent a foot soldier ahead to report the situation to the queen, who was now waiting for the people at the palace gate in person.
This was the magnitude of Yang Dao's status as the Emissary of the heavens. Orion did not get back inside the carriage and rode a horse with the Guards. He was afraid that he might disturb the Lord. He spotted the Queen standing at the Palace and controlled his horse to move faster.
He got off quickly and said, "My Liege, the emissary of heavens has gained enlightenment. His companion told me not to disturb him."
The Queen of the light kingdom was very beautiful. She can complete with Kylie Dew in terms of appearance. She heard these words and said, "This emissary is stronger than his predecessors. We must win him over. Let the carriage go directly in front of the entrance of the palace." with that said she moved her gaze back to the carriage.
Yang Dao was unaware of what a few people were thinking about. He was immersed in a world of his own. Laohu Bai sat with him guarding him and the surroundings. A couple of hours had passed, Laohu Bai did not know how long the state of epiphany will last. She gently made Yang Dao lay down on the soft seats and silently got out of the carriage.
She spotted Orion and a pretty lady standing outside the carriage and said in her cold voice, "Is the queen still here?"
The woman standing ahead of Orion said, "I am the queen. I do not know how to address, My Lady." although she was the queen, she was aware that the woman in front of her can erase the whole palace in a wink. They had also seen the records of the heavens. Instead of the emissary of heavens, the more frightening existence was the white-haired attendant.
The white tiger incarnations were also gender fluid. If the Dao Child was male, it would incarnate as a female, but if the Dao Child was a female the white will come along as a hunky male.
Laohu Bai gazed at the queen and asked, "My name is only for the Child of Chronicles to use. You may call be Lady Bai."
The queen was not displeased with her behavior and nodded with a smile. Laohu Bai continued, "Young Master is meditating, no one should approach him. Also, prepare some good food for him. He gets hungry after he wakes up from his practice."
The Queen nodded and dispatched her handmaiden immediately. Laohu Bai asked, "What is your name? You are quite young to be the queen."
"Lady Bai, my name is Glow. The predecessor has returned to the source untimely and for that reason, I was crowned on the throne." replied the queen.
She looked to be in her early twenties. Also, returning to the source in her mouth meant dead. Laohu Bai nodded and said, "We will converse once the Young Master wakes up. You can go back to rest and work."
...
It was only after a day when the carriage door opened again, Laohu Bai, who was sitting on a chair in a distance stood up and walked over. She looked at the boy stepping out of the carriage, her next step was in the air but it froze. She spotted the change in Yang Dao.
His eyes were half black and half white as if a Dao Symbol replacing his pupil. Laohu Bai shivered and mumbled, "Dao, reached the realm of perfection in the laws, on his own and in a short time. Maybe he can really solve the trouble here."

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.

Since the death of his mother, and disappearance of his father, Deku sees no reason why they shouldn't go check it out. What will they find as the explore the haunted halls of UA? Monsters? Magic? A curse in which they can't escape? It's perfectly possible. At least, that's what they think. ......and they just might be right. (I've had this idea for a while now, and I think it's cool!

This is a parody of the show My Hero Academia)
