The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao and the others only woke up from the cultivation when the sun broke out in the sky. Shakti was the first one to speak, "We need to hurry. The prime disciples should be on time to report at the Square." 

Yang Dao pouted and without caring about other people, he said, "You ungrateful bunch, I am hungry, unlike you all. I will not move until I get food. Humph, made me sit here all night long and now you want to leave in the name of the exam. Senior Sister Alisha, see off the guests who wish to leave, I am having my dinner." 

Alisha gave everyone a wary smile, the others did not expect this boy to throw a tantrum. They were surprised at this behavior of his, usually, he is very wise. Daina said, "I am also hungry. You adults are really uncaring. Even if we can survive on spirit energy now, it does not mean we do not feel hunger. We are children and we crave food." 

Yang Dao nodded heavily and said, "Come, Daina, we will eat in the kitchen, let these 'prime disciples' go out first. You do not worry, I will have my Master speak out, let me see who dares to bully us." 

With that said, he stood up from the ground and walked ahead, Daina stood up and followed him. She was two heads taller than Yang Dao, watching the two walk away, Shakti broke out in a smile and said, "Athena, you have a competition coming at you." 

Athena froze for a moment and when her brain registered what was Shakti trying to convey, she blushed slightly and said, "They are kids, Senior sister, what are you talking about." 

Shakti shook her head as she stood up and said, "Daina might be a child but Yang Dao is a millennium genius, he has his childish side, but his intellect does not lose to that of an old person. Despite all this, remember, he is still a child." 

She was hinting that the boy was at a fickle age, if she did not catch hold of him now, then he will be snatched away. Athena flushed even more profusely. Getting a lady curious was the first step, Yang Dao achieved that at the first meeting in the sect joining exams, whether it was his astounding skill or his temperament, he was standing out of the crowd. 

Then he all of a sudden betting her to marry at the alchemist assessment. She was surprised but that was it, till now. When Daina was leaving with Yang Dao, she sensed a little unease in her heart, Shakti just pointed it out and made the wart bigger. The other people all went inside the palace and Athena followed. 

...

Yang Dao was sitting at the table gorging away at the food at a fast pace. Diana looked at him with eyes wide open and asked, "You know, they will not take it away from you? What is the hurry?"

Yang Dao glanced at her and did not speak but kept eating. He was famished. Yue Jing came over to the two of them with a big tray of dumplings. She saw that Yang Dao was swallowing away the dumplings as if they were air and said, "Dao, chew properly. Or I will tell grandma." 

The boy glared at her and slowed down. He did not wish to be reprimanded by his elders for not eating in proper manners. Yue Jing placed a glass of water beside him after she served the dumplings to everyone. The others also came in at this moment and they all began to eat in silence. 

...

They all came out of the palace and Yang Dao took out his flying sword and was about to jump on it when Athena said, "We can ride my flying beast." 

The boy stopped and put away his sword. Daniel asked, "Dao, why do you not use the beast given to you by your master?" 

The boy said, "I want to get a beast companion for myself. It will take some time to get a strong one so I use a flying sword. It is convenient." 

The rest of the people nodded. They were no one to judge him about this. It was his choice on what mode of transportation he would choose. Athena took out a pouch from her space ring and then opened the mouth of the pouch. 

An ice blue bird flew out of the pouch and all of a sudden it expanded in size. As big as a freight truck. Yang Dao called out, "Oh, this is a pretty bird." 

Everyone looked at him like a fool, this beast was called Luan, the origins were said to be similar to the phoenix. While the phoenix commanded fire this beast commanded water and ice. The blue wings were graceful as if carved in ice, it had eyes like balls of glass with a blue pupil staring down at the people. The crown of the bird had a few feathers sticking out. 

Athena said, "This is Shing. I will ask him to have us all climb, be careful this one is very moody." 

Daina pointed her finger in front and said, "You should've said that earlier." 

Athena looked ahead and found Yang Dao standing in front of the beast. Her expressions changed, she said, "Shing do not harm him. Dao, you slowly come back." 

Yang Dao seemed to have turned deaf and gazed at the beast in front of him with a smile on his face, he said, "You know, I have a friend back at home, they say he is a flame sparrow. You remind me of him. Would you like to be friends?" 

The luan bent its neck to look at Yang Dao and the people all took a stance to take action. The beast was a creature in the nascent realm. However, the next scene shocked them to the cores of their soul and even doubt their existences. 

The luan bend down and rubbed his beak with Yang Dao's face. The boy chuckled and said, "You tickle me." His chuckle echoed in the cloud palace. 

Now one expected him to conquer this beast so easily. They wanted to dissect him and see if he was a beast himself. Athena asked, "Dao, how did you do it?" 

Yang Dao rubbed the Luan's beak and asked, "Did what? Shing can talk you know? Did you all not hear?" 

Yang Dao can communicate with the thoughts of the beasts. The others did not know about this. The bird took a hold of the boy's collar and flicked him over. Yang Dao chuckled as he flew in the air and landed on the softback. He said, "Do not waste time, come on." 

The people sluggishly got onto the bird's back with graceful jumps. Yang Dao said, "Let's go, Shing, full speed ahead." 

Shing let out a loud tweet and with a flick of his wings, the winds picked up the pace as they flew up in the sky. The speed was very fast. Yang Dao waved his hand and the wind resistance over their bodies disappeared. Athena sat behind him with a dejected expression and said, "Dao, Shing is mine, you are not allowed to poach him like this. If you dug my corner then I will not talk to you." 

She was a girl as well, the boy chuckled and said, "You are mine, so what is yours is mine and what is mine is yours." 

Athena was frozen and then she said, "Who is yours, you hooligan. You are a child, yet you talk like this, the next time I see your grandma I will complain." 

The boy shrugged his shoulders and said, "The more you complain the more you agree. You can be my guest. I can take you to visit my grandma. Okay, she will be happy to see her granddaughter-in-law being a big beauty." 

The other people pretended to not hear them. Athena was left speechless by his shameless actions, She did not know but this cheeky brat was so shameless. She said, "I will tell young master Yue Ming. What will you do then?" 

Yang Dao said, "Simple, beat him till he admits he is not worthy of you. Also, do not tempt me, I will do it in public. It takes a lot of effort to hold myself back when I see his cheeky face dancing in front of me. He treated my big sister so brashly, he will pay the price." 

Yue Jing was touched by his words and said, "Dao, restraint." 

The boy replied with a scoff, "If not for restraint, that day when you visited my accommodation for the first time, his message was enough to have him mope on the floor." 

Yue Jing smiled and shook her head. The boy suddenly said, "All of you lay low a bit, we are about to land." 

Then he said, "Shing, let us make a dashing entry." 

And screams rang out in the void, followed by a burst of laughter. The luan climbed the sky at a high speed and then it stopped flapping the wings and the whole creature fell out of the sky. Shing used its wings to spin its body randomly as he fell down straight. 

Athena said loudly, "SHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG." 

However, Yang Dao said, "Come on, sissy." 

Just when they were a few hundred feet away from the ground, Shing opened its wings wide and with a few flaps the speed reduced and the bird landed in the ground. The square in front of the sovereign palace was filled with people and they all were shocked at the scene in front of them.. A faint bird fell out of the sky, with a few teenagers on the back crying and wailing while a little boy was laughing happily.
