Chapter 249 - Huh? For Real?

Laohu Bai held Yang Dao's hand and led him to the huge stone arch standing in the distance. Yang Dao asked, "Hey, is it because you are the master, that these pillars have the white tiger carved on them?" 

The white-haired girl nodded and said, "Same for everyone else. They have similar pillars for the sacred realms they govern." 

Yang Dao nodded and looked at the pillars with more focus. The pillars seemed to give off a little glow of the like and dark. He nodded and said, "They contain profoundness of the light and dark law."

Laohu Bai nodded and said, "These arches are more than just a mere gateway, Dao. Can you guess the other purpose?" she asked him quizzically. The two people stood in front of the magnificent arch holding hands. 

Yang Dao looked carefully at the two arches. He suddenly said, "Is it also guarding the entrance?"

Laohu Bai revealed a stunning smile and nodded as she spoke, "Yes, the door is sentient, anyone who tries to barge in the sacred realm must face off with the spirit of the gateway." 

Yang Dao was surprised and asked, "Who can attack the sacred realms?" this place was supposedly only accessible to the four heavenly spirit beasts and the Dao Child. He did not understand who might have the strength to attack here.

Laohu Bai shook her head and led the boy forward. The two people crossed the arch and the scene did not change much. However, Yang Dao spotted a few trees here and there. He turned back to find the huge archway missing. He asked, "So where are we?" 

Laohu Bai said, "We are on the clearing between the kingdom of the light king and the kingdom of the dark king." 

The boy pursed his lips and asked, "Details and history please?" 

Laohu Bai chuckled and said, "This world has two main regions, The kingdom of light, and the kingdom of the dark. The place where we are standing is called the twilight mountain. We are standing at the summit. So now we can start the journey. You can decide which kingdom you would like to go to first." 

Yang Dao crossed his hands and asked, "So what is the purpose of my visit to the respective kingdoms?" his tone was thoughtful. 

"To learn about the laws of light and dark." replied, Laohu Bai. 

The boy nodded and said, "How do I do that?"

He had no idea how Laohu Bai planned on letting him learn about the laws. The white-haired girl replied, "By reading the books in the respective kingdoms. Also, you can find a teacher in these places to help you out." 

Yang Dao shook his head, "I don't find this idea very plausible. But since you have said so, I will try. If not then I will try another approach on this okay?" 

Laohu Bai nodded, and asked, "Where do you wish to go then?" 

The boy gazed around and said, "A place where they have good food? Please." making the girl chuckle. She nodded and took him down the mountain. The two people were flying down like specters. 

Yang Dao found that the twilight peak was really desolate, let alone humans even beasts were missing. Yang Dao asked Laohu Bai a lot of things regarding the two kingdoms but the girl just smiled at him. 

They had just gotten down the mountain and the boy said, "Baibai if the food is not good, I will... I will ask the white tiger to come back." 

Laohu Bai could not help but laugh out loudly. The boy who was worried about her disappearance just a few moments ago was now threatening to exchange her if the food is not good. What else can she do other than laughing? The two people were walking along a mud trail when he spotted a big sailor ship sailing in the sky. His eyes opened wide and he pointed at the ship flying across the vast blue skies. 

Yang Dao asked, "How is that sailer ship traveling through the air?"

Laohu Bai smiled and said, "How about we take a ride on it?" 

The boy nodded like a chicken pecking grains. Laohu Bai was about to move forward and said, "Well, a change of clothes is required." She waved her hands and a pair of garments appeared in her hands. 

They were both same but a white pullover shirt with silver embroidery on the sleeves, black lower seemingly made of cotton with gold embroidery on the thigh area, and was tight at the bottom. Yang Dao was so excited to get on the sailor ship that he snatched a pair and ran behind a tree. Laohu Bai was smiling as she shook her head. She also changed her clothes behind another tree. 

Yang Dao came out and found that the girl was dressed but her set had a long skirt and not a lower. He wore his white sneakers. Laohu Bai said, "Let us go?" 

Yang Dao did not bother to answer by words but actions, he directly jumped up and a gust blew behind him. On his back, two big blue glowing wings appeared and he flew to the boat. Laohu Bai jumped up and followed him. She said, "Dao, calm your mind. Too much excitement, is not a good thing." 

The boy shivered and woke up. He said, "Sorry, I was really just excited right now. How can they make that thing fly in the air? I will not lose it again." 

Laohu Bai nodded as the two people flew forward. Soon they caught up with the ship. The magnificence that Yang Dao saw from below was nothing compared to this. He could never imagine such a thing. 

The people on the ship who saw Yang Dao flying in the sky with his wings were shocked. An elder in the crowd shouted, "The Emissary of heavens." and he knelt down. Followed by him, the rest were shocked and they also knelt down.

Yang Dao looked at Laohu Bai, who said, "The Dao Child is called the emissary of heavens." 

The boy said in exasperation, "Are you for real, Baibai?"
