The King fainted on the ground. Yang Dao did not bother much. When he waved his hand, he healed the wound but the man still could not take the exhaustion of times that washed over him. Staying at the top may look all fun and games but maintaining that position requires one to become cruel to the world and crueler to themselves.
The King was on such person. Yang Dao did not even know the man's name yet because the King had never introduced himself. In his eyes, the weak did not deserve to know his name. he landed on the ground and the silent crowd burst into cheers.
HAIL THE LORD, HAIL THE LORD...
Yang Dao's status as the lord was recognized by the citizen after this fight. Not only did the boy defeated the king but he did it fairly and squarely. The moment his arrow poked a hole through the spike and passed over the King's body, injuring him. They all knew that this boy was being merciful to the old man.
That blow could have killed the king but it did not. Yang Dao was clear that despite anything, he was not here to kill the imbalanced but to restore them. Unlike a few of his predecessors, who thought that killing would solve the problem. Shamefully, they did not think that imbalanced was also the point of balance for some and if that point vanished, it will leave even more imbalanced.
Laohu Bai walked over to Yang Dao's side and asked, "How was it? Was the bow okay?"
Yang Dao nodded. He turned around and handed to bow to Laohu Bai as he said, "This weapon can cause serious destruction. Let me complete the task here and then I will familiarize myself with it."
Laohu Bai nodded and took the bow Yang Dao returned to her. He turned around and beckoned Aldeon to himself. The old minister did not delay and rushed over with sparkle in his eyes. Yang Dao said, "Please announce to the crowd to come to the public square tomorrow. And make some medicine for the king to relax."
The old minister nodded. He beckoned for a few soldiers to carry the king back to the infirmary to treat him. Yang Dao and Laohu Bai were also asked to rest in a suite in the palace. The boy had not eaten a grain of food so he was famished. Be glad that he did not raid the kitchen and sophisticated asked the chefs to make him some good spicy meat dishes.
The chefs had heard that this boy was stronger than the king and thus they cooked with the best of their ability. Plus, Yang Dao himself staring at the kitchen as they were cooking, making them all nervous.
The food hunter was a food hunter. He would not discriminate against anything that can be plated and eaten without being tagged bizarre. He will relish it. The two people ate a lot, well actually, Laohu bai's plate would be delivered food by Yang Dao himself as he was eating. he was aware that the lady also did not eat when he was in seclusion. Such affection and care were not to be taken for granted.
Since the familiars were looking out for him, he must also look out for them. This was his duty as their Young Master. At night yang Dao asked for an attendant to bring him a lot of paper and charcoal. The person was confused but he hurriedly bowed and completed the task given to him. Tonight Yang Dao was going to dedicate his time to complete a promise he made to the White Tiger.
He was going to sketch the heavenly beast. But why did he ask for a lot of paper instead of just one sheet or a canvas? Yang Dao believed that the white tiger represented a long accumulation of positive and negative and how they can shape something so magnificent.
Thus, he started to draw lines, one page at a time. Unconsciously his eyes awakened the Dao pupil. They were enabling him to complete this task, with flying colors. At least a computer was needed to do something like this. As the night passed his hands moved and unknowingly the sun rose on the horizon.
The door of his room was knocked on when he put down the last paper in the stack. A content smile was visible on his face. he waved his hand and the door opened. In this world, everything was made of positive and negative blending together and Yang Dao had mastered the laws of Positive and Negative. he can manipulate things in the dark but it was not to the extent of destroying the world or recreating one.
The door opened and Laohu Bai walked in. She said, "Good morning, Dao."
The boy replied with his sunny smile, "Good morning, Baibai." as he rubbed his eyes with his hands. Not realizing that the charcoal had stained his fair face. However, the lines on his face did not make him look funny or fierce but as if blended with him.
Laohu bai froze in her place as she mumbled, "Dao Resonance."
Whenever the Dao Child comprehends a law successfully he will awaken Dao Resonance in his motions. Even if it is just a normal wave of hand it would look as if a part of nature and not something mundane. Laohu Bai knelt on the ground and banged her head on the ground nine times quickly.
Yang Dao was stunned and hurriedly helped her stand up. He asked, "What happened?" his voice was full of concern as he looked at Laohu Bai's red forehead. The tiles on the floor already had cobweb cracks over them.
Laohu Bai felt warm in her heart and said, "You are the unification of the laws of this realm and thus, I had to kowtow. It was my instinct as your familiar."
Yang Dao blew his cold breath on her forehead and said, "Humph, don't talk, I am angry with you." he threw a tantrum.
