The Urban Dao Child - Chapter 520: Dominance.

Yin returned after a few minutes and after bidding farewell to her father, she left the place with Tato in tow. The boy who was following her earlier was nowhere to be seen. Her father did fulfill his promise.  While the girl with white hair set out on an adventure.

…

Yang Dao sat inside his room in the ship was focused on cultivating. His spirit essence was climbing steadily. The boy had lost count of how many hours he has been sitting in cultivation. Elder Jing Shui had been paying attention to his condition constantly. She asked Yue Jing who stood in front of her, “Jing’er, how long does he sit in cultivation for?”

Yue Jing shook her head and said, “I have no idea master. Senior Sister Alisha told me that he could spend a whole week in cultivation and he will not wake up until his goal has been met.”

Elder Jing Shui said, “No wonder this guy has such a cultivation realm at such a young age.”

Yue Jing nodded and then she said, “Athena, you do not need to think so much. It is not your fault and Yang Dao is not someone who will judge you over something that is not your fault. Your family just wanted to show that their son-in-law is not a nobody. However, they could have told him about this earlier.”

Elder Jing sighed and said, “These big families always think that what they are doing is correct. This is the side-effect of power.”

Yue Jing and Athena nodded at this. Athena herself agreed with this and she was not happy with her parents doing this she was aware that this idea did not belong to her parents, it belonged to the elders of the family. The people wanted to put on a charade. Yang Dao did not say much to her and this was the reason she was so nervous.

She took his silence to be his anger. Well, it was human nature to interpret things such as silence as sadness or repulsion. She wanted to talk to him but the guy did not give her a chance. As soon as they got inside the ship the boy entered the cultivation room and sat down to elevate his realm.

…

It took twenty days for the ship to arrive at the Olympus Overlord domain system. Yang Dao has been sitting inside his room cultivating and his realm has broken through twice. He was now at the middle stages of the seventh level of the spirit formation realm. Elder Jing came over to wake him up.

She was glad that he was only consolidated his realm and not amidst a breakthrough or it could have harmed him. Yang Dao opened his eyes and let out a deep breath. He stood up and calmly opened the door of his room. He asked, “Have we arrived?”

The lady nodded and said, “We are here, the ship has already entered the atmosphere of the domain planet, we will be reaching their spaceport soon. Are you ready?”

Yang Dao nodded with calm eyes. He took out his sword and tied it to his waist and walked out slowly. His height has improved a little because of the cultivation. His aura has become more profound and noble as well. As he came to the hatch door, he found Yue Jing and Athena standing there already. The boy gazed at the two of them and said, “What made you two look so haggard?”

Yue Jing said, “No sleep because Athena was freaking out that you are angry with her.”

Athena looked at Yue Jing with a gawking expression and said, “Senior Sister…” as a blush appeared on her face.

The boy said, “Why would I be angry with you? It is not your fault that this happened. The bigger the families the more dramatic they become. I am not narrow-minded to implicate someone else for something that was not under their control. Do not worry. Let us go. Your family is waiting.”

He walked forward, took hold of her jade wrist, and jumped down the hatch door. His action surprised everyone. He was not yet strong enough to fly on his own without the help of an artifact. They were still at a height that could turn them into minced meat. Athena looked at his calm gaze as they fell through the void and her heart came to a rest.

Yang Dao took out his flying sword and stepped on the blunt side of the blade with Athena standing in behind him. The boy was still a head shorter than the girl yet she sensed that his small stature was something she could rely upon completely. Yue Jing and Elder Jing Shui followed them at a small distance.

As they descended, the scenery became clearer and a lot of people could be seen standing at the spaceport, gazing at the sky, Yang Dao asked, “They are your family members?”

Athena nodded and said, “I will be by your side.”

Yang Dao smiled and after a few moments, they landed. However, the two did not move ahead to greet until Elder Jing Shui landed softly on the ground. She said, “Dao, come forward.”

The boy came to stand beside her. Elder Jing gazed at a man and a woman standing in the crowd and they stepped forward. The lady said, “Dao, they are Athena’s parents. Troy Olympus, and his wife, Shalina Carter.”

Yang Dao bowed to the two of them and said, “Yang Dao greets elders.”

The couple nodded and the lady said, “Elder Jing, the child is just like you said he was.” making the sect elder smile and nod faintly.

Yang Dao asked, “May I ask if someone from Yue Overlord has arrived here as well?”

Troy nodded and said, “Two groups arrived from Yue Overlord, one of them is Yue Jiren, and the other is Madam Yue Yun. They seem to be waiting for you.”

Yang Dao nodded calmly, as he was not that surprised, but the three ladies immediately became restless. They gazed at the boy, who said, “Can I trouble the elders to bring me to my Uncle Yue Jiren first?”

Troy nodded and said, “I was going to ask you if you would like to meet them right away or after you have rested. Now it has been cleared up, follow me. I will introduce you to the rest of the family at the feast tonight.”

The boy nodded and followed him silently. Yue Jing said, “Athena, can you take me to where the other group is staying?”

Athena nodded stiffly and after asking a few people she led Yue Jing to meet Yue Yun. Elder Jing Shui followed Yang Dao because she wanted to protect his safety, after all, she would never trust a guy who could undermine his daughter to such an extent.

…

On the way, a lot of gazes judged Yang Dao, checking his temperament and bearing, however, when they found him walking unaffected with all the luxury and vanity spread through the corridors. The boy may be young but he was not ignorant. His family was small but it was not like he had never seen artificial luxury.

Shalina asked, “Dao, what do you think of our home?”

The boy replied, “It is good.”

His faint reaction made them think that he was trying to hold back on his compliments. An elder chuckled and said, “Child you can praise us without holding back. After all, this house is made with a lot of effort from our ancestors.”

The boy shook his head and said, “My mother has taught me, nature is the true luxury. I agree with her, so rather than gold bricks, I enjoy blooming fresh flowers, elder.”

The old man was surprised and then he nodded. Troy said, “This is where Yue Jiren is staying.”

Yang Dao nodded and said, “Can I talk to him alone?”

Troy nodded and said, “I will have a maid wait for you outside, then you can ask her anything you may need. Do not hesitate.”

The boy nodded and said, “Thank you. Elder Jing, you can come inside.”

Yang Dao knocked on the door and after hearing a come in, he walked inside. Elder Jing Shui followed him inside silently.

…

Yue Jiren was sitting with his legs crossed in a lotus position when he sensed someone knocking on the door. The man called them in and opened his eyes, he was surprised to see when he found the young jade boy walking toward him.

Yang Dao smiled and said, “Did you miss me so much that you flew all the way here, Uncle?”

Yue Jiren smiled and said, “You can say so. I also have a surprise planned for you.”

The boy said, “Hahahaha, great people think alike, I have a present for you too.”

Yue Jiren said, “Since I am the elder, let me give you mine first.”

Yang Dao nodded with a smile. The man said, “I came here to propose Yue Ming’s marriage to the Olympus family’s Athena. How about it? Do you like it?”

He wanted Yang Dao to lose his decorum, however, the boy started laughing and said, “You surely jest uncle, Athena is already betrothed to me. I came here to make the engagement recognized. You see, Elder Jing is here to bear witness on my side.”

His tone was light but he stated them dominantly and made Yue Jiren fall silent for a bit.
