The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao walked along with Sushi, discussing trivia. Ryu Jinshi was at a loss watching the two people. The man was at a loss because of these guys. However, he realized why the young man in front of him was so desired by everyone around him. 

The reason was very simple, Yang Dao would adjust according to the people and still be the best. For example, In front of the elders of the spirit council, who idolized him, he would be an idol, guiding them patiently and calmly fulfilling his duties. While on the other hand, he would be a gently caretaker in front of the common masses. Just like when he named the little girl. 

At the moment, when he just silently listened to everything that Sushi said with a faint smile on his face, was enough to define that Yang Dao has begun to merge with the great dao. Everything comes from the Dao and leads back to it. 

After walking under the giant trees for a few minutes, they reached their destination. Sushi flicked her wings and flew up along the trunk of the tree.. Yang Dao followed her lead, and so did Ryu Jinshi. 

The girl entered a nest hanging down from a branch. Yang Dao slightly peeked inside and saw Sushi beckoning him. As he entered inside he said, "Where is your family Sushi?" 

The girl smiled and said, "Mom, Dad. Master has come." 

The nests may sound like a nest, but they were as big as a villa in some high society area. Following her voice, a couple walked out from inside. They both seemed to be in their middle age, but Yang Dao was smarter to know that they aged a lot more than this. The couple had a bearing similar to Sushi. 

They came to stand in front of Yang Dao and knelt on the ground. They said, "We greet the lord." 

Yang Dao waved his hand, and a gust picked them up. He said, "Please do not embarrass me. You are the parents of Sushi and that makes you my people. Do not kneel." 

The two still bowed to him and then bowed to Ryu Jinshi. The dragon had issued a mental command not to kneel. If they knelt to him, will that not make his status equal to Yang Dao? What a sin would that be? 

The two people asked Yang Dao to sit on a stool made up of dried leaves. The furniture was made of dried branches and sticks passing through dry leaves. In the territory of Sylphs, the weather was always spring, so they never needed different arrangements. 

Yang Dao sat on the stool observing the minimalist style of the house. Sushi's mother asked, "Lord, is Ushi good in serving you. She has been a naughty child if she makes any mistakes. I apologize." 

Yang Dao was surprised by her humbleness. He expected them to be humble but straight apologizing was not on the charts. He hurriedly replied, "Elder, she is very good to me and has helped me a lot. I just hope that I am good to her." 

Sushi smiled and stuck out her tongue to Yang Dao, making the latter smile. Her father glared at her. It was a sin to tease the LORD. Yang Dao shook his head at the situation. after exchanging pleasantries, he told them about his future expedition and that he will be leaving from the last stop itself and not coming back. 

He asked whether Sushi would like to stay in this realm among her people or will be following him back. The girl chose the latter without any hesitation. The family of three became emotional a bit, but they were happy and grateful that their daughter was following the emissary of heaven. 

After the farewell, Yang Dao came to the center of the region near the tree where the elders resided. He was told by Ryu that there was a teleportation formation that can make him teleport to the other regions. 

The distance between the places did not matter anymore. Yang Dao was happy to hear this news. He selected the land of undines to be his next stop. The elders, Sissas and Ihniff came to send him off. The boy gave them his advice about the path of life and death and hinted that the two paths can be merged instead of separating them. 

As for the rest of the comprehension, he left it over to the people. Ryu Jinshi placed his palm on the tree trunk. Suddenly, the trunk lit up. Ryu Jinshi had circulated the source energy of the water element to select and confirm the destination for them. 

The elders were surprised as they never knew that this tree was the gate to other spirit lands, however, they did understand that only the heavenly emissary can access this portal, and thus it was forbidden for anyone to approach this place except the eldest of the region. 

Ryu Jinshi said, "Master, the land of Undines is underwater. Please take this pearl and keep it inside your mouth. This will allow you to breathe and travel there as if on land." then he gave Yang Dao a blue pearl. 

The boy placed it inside his mouth. Ryu Jinshi also gave one to Sushi, who followed them and the three people walked inside the shining portal. The blinding light inside the channel made Yang Dao close his eyes. Ryu Jinshi held the two people by their shoulders gently as the light vanished. 

Yang Dao opened his eyes and found himself in a world of blue. 

All around him he saw various fishes and sea plants. It was as if the world was constantly swaying. Under his feet was yellow sand. He moved his hand and found no restraint of the water. The boy looked up and found the yellow ball hanging high in the sky. A smile surfaced on his face. He always dreamed to go underwater diving as a child and today he could experience all this. 

He thought, 'The world under the water. It surely is beautiful.' 

Ryu Jinshi spoke up, "Master, you can transmit your thoughts to communicate if you wish to." 

Yang Dao nodded and tried to communicate mentally, "Where are we?" 

Ryu Jinshi was about to reply when they sensed huge movement in the surroundings. Yang Dao saw people surrounding them, or fishes surrounding them. At first glance, he thought humans were riding fishes, but then he focused and saw that these people were half humans and half fish. They all looked beautiful to him. Sea-green eyes, varying hair color, sharp features. The scales on their body were so beautiful. 

Two people swam forward and placed their right hand over their heart-formed into a fist. They bowed their heads and said, "We have seen the emissary of heavens."

Yang Dao nodded with a smile. He thought, 'Thank God, these guys cannot kneel.' 

He was toxic here, the people did not have knees, and he was thankful that they did not prostrate themselves in front of him. Bad Dao child. 

Well, after the introduction, he found out that the two in front of him were the elders of the Undine. The rest of the people were the guardians of the Heaven Reef. They were not aware that it was a portal, but since no trespassing was allowed, they posted some guards around the area. This was to keep the mundane creatures at bay. 

Yang Dao was led out and he was surprised to see the surrounding scenery. This was not what he expected. The corals were as big as buildings in the human world and they were used as the housing infrastructure. Since water had no roads, the people had marked some waterways for convenient traffic. The mode of transportation? Sea horses and fishes. 

Yang Dao was fascinated by this and he had an urge to paint. However, the boy calmed his mind and said, "Where can we discuss the rules and ceremonies you guys perform. I would like to know about what are your views on Life and Death."

The undine elders bowed their heads, and they said, "Lord please come along with us." 

Yang Dao was sure of one thing. These fish-men were different from the Sylphs. So he became even more curious about this. They led him over, and on the way, he noticed some guards patrolling the area holding tridents in their hands. Yang Dao did not understand what was going on. He had an impression that the spirit world was a peaceful place, but that did not seem to be true at this moment. 

Sushi was sticking closer to Yang Dao. After all, she was not used to such scenes and was slightly uncomfortable. Yang Dao asked the elder in front, "Elders, may I ask you what is going on with these people holding spears?" 

The two elders in the front stopped, and the man replied, "Lord, these are the Undine Guards. They patrol the area as for the reason this is happening, I will tell you inside the Parliament." 

Yang Dao was shocked to hear the words Parliament, but he was curious as well. Thus, he nodded and followed the people.
