The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao got an idea after guiding Cao with his work. Now that he looked at it, he has never taken the time or effort to find out about his enemies. He has always been working on the information provided to him by the four heavenly spirits.

Thinking about this he stood up from the ground and stretched his body. The children were also done with their work so they came over to his side to play. Yang Dao played a game of tag with them and after eating dinner the children were all tucked in their beds.

Lisa was also doing better after the therapy. She seemed to be more united with her emotions. Yang Dao came inside his room and took out a new computer notebook he had bought and had RALF set it up. He had a plan in his mind and this plan was going to cost him a lot of time and effort.

After taking a bath, the dao child sat down on the chair with the laptop in front of him. Then his fingers started to flicker. It has been a long time since Yang Dao sat behind the keys to code. RALF was his last project and ever since then, the AI itself has been put in charge of the codes.

As Yang Dao began to code, RALF asked, “Master what do you intend to do?”

“You will know soon enough RALF. Do not disturb me.” as he spoke the speed of his clicking and the pace of the codes he produced increased steadily. After an hour the room was filled with unrhythmic clicks and his hands were moving so fast that they left after images.

He began to focus and his sense of time became distorted. However, he was completely vigilant. Sushi would peek out from his head from time to time but looking at his concentrated face she did not say anything and went back to sleep. This tiny doll liked to sleep and fight. Although there were not many fighting opportunities, she did have a lot of time to slack off.

Sleeping was a sort of cultivation method for them. These days since Yang Dao has been busy Sushi has been taking with Amber, the golden crow worn on Yang Dao’s finger. The two gossiped about how they came to this place and their experiences and discussed the spirit energy.

Yang Dao was subconsciously listening to all this but his primary focus was dedicated to the codes in front of him. It has been three days since he has been coding without rest, Lisa and the others did come over to call him out but when they peeked inside the room from the crack and found him immersed in his work they all left.

Sister Tina shook her head with a smile on her face when she saw this. She mumbled, “You never change Dao. Always working hard.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

She asked everyone to not disturb him and wait for him to come out on his own. These three days, Lisa helped with the chores around the orphanage and taught the children in the steed of her master. She was a hit among the children. They loved her mellow voice and were completely obedient to her.

Even the naughty ones were so well behaved when Lisa was around that Sister Tina was surprised. Lisa schooled the boys to be gentle and chivalrous while she taught the girls to be grateful. She also taught the people a few tricks for self-defense and how to handle situations harmful to them.

Sister Tina will have a sweet smile on her face whenever she looked at Lisa. However, she still counseled the girl to not indulge in the children too much because after a few days she will leave this place and the children will feel downhearted. Lisa understood this fact very well lessened her indulgence.

However, the children would still come for her when they needed help with homework or had a conflict. To solve this Lisa told them to be good, she will reward them with candies. She also told them to be the same in her absence.

When Yang Dao came out of his room after a week, he was famished. He walked straight to the kitchen. He found a few buns in the refrigerator and chowed down. But this was not enough to sate his hunger and he began to cook food and eat simultaneously.

A few staff members saw his actions and informed Sister Tina. When the lady arrived she took over the cooking and let the boy eat to his heart’s content. Lisa also came over after finishing her chores in the garden. Yang Dao spoke with his mouth stuffed with noodles, “Get ready we go back to the city.”

Lisa was surprised but nodded to him. He wanted to speak again but heard a soft sound, “Did you forget your manners, Dao”

The boy shivered and shook his head like a rattle. Sister Tina was the one who spoke just now. She saw his reaction and nodded in satisfaction. Lisa could not help but stifle a peal of laughter at this. Yang Dao glared at her but did not comment.

The children heard that Yang Dao was going to take Lisa away and began to gather and rebel against this monarch. This was what they had written on the banner.

Yang Dao did not know whether he should cry or laugh at this. He sighed and said, “You guys, Lisa is really important for me. Please let me take her. I promise to bring her back to meet in the future more often.”

Nina and Tina were the only loyal ones he had left now. The children were adamant about this and did not agree until Sister Tina came in to play. She still held full authority in the orphanage. The children knew they should not anger the matron or she will cry. Lisa coaxed the children and the two people prepared for their trip back home.

Yang Dao was going to enter the sacred realm of fire to master the corresponding laws of nature.. In the meantime, RALF will execute the update and will infiltrate the New Dawn system to learn from it.
