The Urban Dao Child.

Chapter 448 - Outing.

Time has passed like a fleeting gust of wind. Yang Dao has grown up to be an attractive boy. He was now ten years old. He was a head taller than his peer and had long hair. Yu Mulan did not let him cut his hair and said, that he looks very handsome. 

He surrendered to the grandma. Yang Dao has grown into a boy loved by his family. However, Yue Ling had always been strict with him. She did not want her son to be like those frivolous young masters of the family. So, his virtues and discipline were all instilled in him ever since he was able to speak and that investment had begun to show. 

The people around him will all have smiles on their faces. Today he was going to visit the place that was under the command of his mother. He wore a blue hanfu gown and his hair was tied in a top knot while leaving a portion loose. The boy walked through the corridor and came to his parent's room. 

Yue Yun was still his protector but she will not follow him everywhere inside the palace. Yang Dao knocked on the door and said, "Mum." 

Yue Ling replied in her soft voice, "Come in, how many times I have told you not to knock. This is your room as well." 

Yang Dao walked inside and said, "That was when I was a child. Now I have my own room." 

Yue Ling shook her head, it was her wish that her child became sophisticated and now that he did that, she wanted him to not be so constricted. The boy watched as her eyes flashed with some remorse. After all, Yang Dao was way ahead of his peer, that was why her teachings made him grow up sooner as well. 

The boy watched his mother get upset and walked over to her side. Yue Ling was sitting in front of her dressing table, combing her hair slowly. He hugged her from behind and placed his chin over her shoulder and said, "Do not be sad. I will try not to be so constrained with you from now." 

Yue Ling chuckled and said, "Sometimes I think if you are the baby or I am." 

Yang Dao chuckled and did not say anything. The lady got ready, she took a check of her son's attire, fixed a few strands of loose hair, and then they walked out. Yang Dao was half her height but his charm was twice that of hers. They walked outside the palace holding hands. On the way the servants greeted them. 

Yang Dao asked, "Mum, how do we go that far? Did they not say that planetary travel is not easy and time-consuming?"

Yue Ling said, "Did you forget that there are teleportation channels?" 

The boy tilted his head and said, "I have read about them but I do not know if they can make such a long-distance transmission." 

Yue Ling smiled and said, "Teleportation channels are split into different categories. The one we will be using is called the greater teleportation channel. The details of that sort of channel are kept secret from the public. Come." 

Yang Dao walked behind her and asked, "Why do they keep it a secret?" 

Yue Ling shook her head and said, "All in good time, Dao." 

The boy pouted and said, "You all always say that." 

Yue Yun stood waiting in front of a big stone archway. There were a lot of guards surrounding the place. The old lady bowed slightly to the two people. She said, "Young Miss, we can go." 

Yue Ling nodded and said to a guy at the side, "Start the teleportation." 

The man nodded and took out a stone from a pouch tied to his waist and placed it inside the groove on the stone arch. Yue Yang came to stand beside Yang Dao and placed her hand on his shoulder. She said, "Ready, Dao?" 

The boy nodded and said, "Yes. I am excited." 

His exaggerated nod was enough to tell them that he was seriously excited. In the past ten years, he had not gone out of the palace. The boy did not even wander around the home planet of his family. This outing was a gift he asked from everyone on his tenth birthday a few days ago. he did not take the treasure and just asked for them to take him out. 

He said, "I feel like a caged bird inside the palace. "

The family felt guilty when he said this. In the end, Yang Lang allowed him to take a trip. He also said that Yang Dao can freely move around on the home planet. That made the boy happy. 

After the man at the side pushed the stone inside the slot the archway lit up with a dim glow. A curtain of light raised up blocking the view on the other side. Yue Ling and Yue Yang held one hand of the boy each and then they walked through the curtain of light. 

...

Yang Dao felt his body being squeezed to the limit and then he sensed himself flying through a long patch of space. The next moment he opened his eyes to see a similar structure as he saw back at home. Yue Yun held the wobbly Yang Dao from his shoulders and said, "This is a standard dizziness people feel when they teleport." 

The boy nodded and said, "I know. So, where are we going?"

Yue Ling said, "This place is a vocational spot. The region here is under my command. Today, Wang Family is holding a birthday banquet for the Mistress of the family. They have called over a lot of guests, all rich and powerful, so I had to check the arrangements. Cannot have the family business stained by some mistakes no?" 

Yang Dao nodded and said, "I will follow you. I want to see what sort of creature are the rich and powerful." 

Yue Ling chuckled and said, "You picked up that line from your grandma." 

Yang Dao stuck out his tongue and the trio moved. This place managed by Yue Ling was called Paradise Scape. This place was taken to a city, spread for ninety square miles. You can find hotels, casinos, resorts and a lot of many things. They had a lot of places unique in their own manner. Yang Dao curiously looked around and he found the place to be filled with crowds of energetic people. 

Yue Yun pointed out some good joints and hangout places in the region. She also told them their key characteristics. The boy was curious as a cat and kept nodding and nodding slowly. As he was lost in the city they reached a big building. This building was like a high tower, the highest building in the whole region. 

The Sky Gazing Tower. This place was the office of Yue Ling. She managed this region from here. The entire city was built around this tower in circles. In front of this tower was the square that allowed everyone to teleport to the various spots in the region in case of a dispute. The tower looked like a spear. 

The trio came to the top floor of the tower using a levitation platform at the base of the building. Twenty percent of the tower's body was occupied by this levitating platform. A slender shaft with a spearhead at the end. This was the standard design of the tower. 

Yang Dao was very excited. Yue Ling told him that they will leave to attend the banquet after she finishes a few important things. The boy made a quick circle around the circular top floor. The windows were all floor to ceiling, providing him with a complete view of the region. 

Yue Yun walked behind him and smile when she heard his exclamation on spotting an interesting-looking building and answered all the questions he would ask while pointing at someplace. She did not know but despite his poised behavior the boy will come to act his age when he encounters something new. 

Yue Ling finished her work in half an hour and the trio decided to visit the Wang Family Mistress and give them face. Yue Ling gestured to the boy with her hand and he shook his head. Yang Dao said, "Aunt Mailin gave me a spirit sword on my birthday. I can now fly on my own." 

Yue Ling was aware of his gift, she said, "Are you sure you can handle it?" with a concerned gaze. Yang Dao raised his chin and said, "I have been practicing in secret with Cousin Tingting." 

Yang Ting Ting was his cousin and she was naughty so the two people would use flying swords in secret and practice. Yue Ling sighed and looked at the old lady beside her who nodded with a smile on her face. She allowed the boy to use his sword. Yang Dao jumped up in cheer and took out his flying sword from a space ring on his finger. 

The sword was three feet long and slender. It had an azure tint to itself.. The boy channeled his spirit energy inside the sword and flew off with the two people.
