Chapter 232 - Tag? Hide & Seek?
Yang Dao and Laohu Bai drove back to the sapphire residency. They came over chatting and smiling. Lisa opened the door. She greeted the two people and went to prepare tea for them. The two leopards went to the balcony and sat down to meditate. They have become very eager to improve after Sushi trained them with a new method.
Yang Dao changed his clothes while Laohu Bai went to Feng Yun\'s room to change her clothes as well. She found Feng Yun sleeping and shook her head. She walked over and said, "Sister Yun, wake up please."
Feng Yun woke up after a few more efforts and said, "XiaoBai, I have been sleeping a lot these days."
Laohu Bai said, "That is until you regain your balance. I guess you are close now. Are you not?"
Feng Yun nodded and said, "This imbalance led me to kiss, Dao. Thankfully somehow managed to delay it or might have committed a disaster." her calm words made Laohu Bai\'s pupil dilate to pinpoints.
The white tiger clenched her teeth and said, "Do you know what could have happened by your actions? Have you forgotten the records in the Dao Palace? Have you forgotten why Azure Dragon and Black Turtle were born as males in this place? How can you do that, Vermillion Phoenix?" she was speaking with their heavenly names.
Feng Yun wanted to retort but she could not. She knew what she did wrong. She said, "I apologize White Tiger. It will not happen again."
Laohu Bai shook her head and said, "We are all equal so you don\'t apologize to me but, for the sake of that young boy who is trying his best, please don\'t do that again. That boy is different from other Dao Childs in the past. He is unlike anyone I have read about in the records. So please get a hold of yourself."
With that said she did not bother to wait for her reply and walked to the cloakroom. Feng Yun sat on the bed with guilt flashing in her eyes.
...
Yang Dao sat out on the balcony on the recliner with a cup of tea in his hand. He asked, "Lisa, how are your studies?"
The girl replied, "It is all fine, young master. Though, calculus is a bit irksome at times." she pouted as she said this.
Yang Dao laughed and said, "I know, but you will be fine after you get a hang of it." the two talked for a bit when Laohu Bai and Feng Yun came over. The three people chatted as they drank tea. Laohu Bai told Feng Yun about how the boy defeated a whole squad on his own. Lisa beside them had a flicker in her eyes.
She was a fan of Yang Dao ever since she had spent time with him. Lisa said that she needed to buy some groceries for the house and left.
Laohu Bai said, "Dao, how about we take a short flight now?"
Yang Dao asked, "Yes, yes... Let us go." Then he jumped off the recliner. Two azure wings formed on his back. Feng Yun stood up and said, "Your wings are very pretty."
Two vermillion wings sprouted from her back as well. They were similar to Yang Dao\'s filled with feathers like a bird. Laohu Bai also had similar wings but her wings were white. Yang Dao asked, "So, will Elder Atsuji have black wings and Mr. Ryu will have Azure wings?"
The two girls chuckled. Laohu Bai said, "When you learn the laws, you do not need to grow wings on your back. Also, the Second brother bends air current to fly, he says that wings are superficial."
Yang Dao grimaced, "I will bend wind too." then he flickered his wings and flew away. Feng Yun and Laohu Bai smiled as they followed him. Laohu Bai had cast a barrier around the boy before he flew away or the world would have thought of him as an alien.
The boy had flown earlier but it was not for a very long duration so this time he flew faster and higher. When he had flown earlier the source energy in his body was not much. But this time he has been storing it for a long flight.
When they were above the clouds, Yang Dao said, "Can we play tag?"
His suggestion surprised the two. They did not ever think that they could play tag in the air. They nodded and said simultaneously, "You are it."
Then they flew away in different directions. Yang Dao smirked and chased. The two people held back their speed because they were cautious about the boy pushing himself too much and using up all his source energy.
However, just after ten seconds, they found that Yang Dao was faster than their expectations. Suddenly the wind in their surroundings moved and their speed slowed down. Yang Dao just bent a current to interfere with them.
The boy did not give Laohu bai any time and patted her back as he said, "You are it." and flew away. Laohu Bai said, "You cheated, Dao." with a pout.
Yang Doa, however, did not stop and with a sharp turn, he vanished in the clouds leaving behind his laughter. Feng Yun became Laohu Bai\'s target. As the three played tag the Dao Child learned more about bending the currents and riding them.
They forgot the time and suddenly Yang Dao stopped in the air. He said, "Baibai, Sister Yun, shall we go back? I ran out of source energy." he was now bending the current to keep himself in the sky.
The two nodded and descended slowly. Feng Yun guided them back to the Sapphire residency. She had the bird\'s eye. Their laughter attracted Lisa, who was working in the kitchen. She came over and asked, "Madam, I thought you all had gone out when I came back."
Feng Yun said, "No, Lisa we were just playing Hide and Seek." as she smiled the two people chuckled. Lisa was aware of the elementalists and that her employers are all elementalists. Lisa said, "Young Master, Sasha, and Kiya called. They asked if they can come over?"
Yang Dao nodded after some thought and then went to call them over.
