Heavenly Dao Child
/ Heavenly Dao Child 93 Estelle and Percy
'I am so lucky compare to this people if I had been stuck in place like this I would never have made past the Houtian realm even in my fifties.' he idly wondered.
He looked at the village people working in the fields as he went passed by, who just raised their heads and gossiped upon seeing him, as he strolled into the village he found they were mostly made of mud with thatched roof but having a mountain range nearby painted a picturesque scene under the early morning sunshine.
Most of the people currently he could see were adults as he had yet to see any children or teenagers, but he would sometimes catch glimpses of children spying on him from their houses.
It was not the first time he had been to a village during their travel they went passed by many but they never camped near one, much less spend time near one for an unknown period of time. Ryuu had stayed in various villages when his mother and his aunt were on a run with him, although he was never allowed to step outside their house as such he could not say how the houses were in those places.
He was bored he had nothing to do except practice he stifled a yawn as he made his way towards a large Banyan tree and sat under its shade.
The cool mountain breeze made him doze off a little.
He woke abruptly as he found his two escorts standing stoically in a guarding manner, then he felt something on his cheeks, he raised one of his hands to see he was drooling he hastily used his handkerchief to wipe the drool as his face turned red with embarrassment, he secretly hoped no one saw him in such a shameful position.
He stood up as he looked up and from the position of the Bluish Sun he understood his nap was almost an hour long, he looked towards his escorts as he spoke, "Did anything happen while I was taking a nap?"
Aika just shook her head negatively as she answered, "Nothing your highness, well except for the fact that almost all of the children present in this village and a few adults are spying on us from inside that house.", as she turned her face towards a house indicating the place where the so called spies had their hideout, as Ryuu turned his attention towards the house.
A loud 'eep' followed by she saw us came to his ears, soon any windows or doors were shut, Ryuu sweat dropped at that.
Ryuu sighed, "Well let us go back, and then you may return to your duties while I practice my swordsmanship.
As they made their way back towards their camp, a little girl a few years younger than Ryuu came running in as she tripped and felled near Ryuu.
A concerned voice came from behind the child, "Estelle are you alright?"
A boy about the same age as Ryuu came running towards them, as Ryuu went forward to help the child stand up.
Suddenly two middle aged people who looked like older versions of them quickly came forward as they kneeled in front of him as they begged him, "Please Lord Cultivator, Immortal Hero please spare our child, if she has done anything to displease please take your anger on us please do not harm her."
Ryuu was stunned upon hearing such pleading from them, but the parents taking his silence started begging and pleading more as tears streamed from the mothers eyes the father know towed at him begging for mercy.
Their son was also startled as he spoke out, "Mother Father what are doing? Why are..."
The father hurriedly stood up as he quickly clasped his hands on his mouth, as he spoke in a furious tone, "Shut up Percy", while dragged his son making him kneel in front of Ryuu forcibly.
The man stated speaking, "Please have...…", but was stopped when Ryuu raised his hand to stop him from speaking.
Ryuu: "I do not know what kind of cultivator you have met before but I do not have any ill will towards your village, as for your daughter she has scraped her knee and hurt herself, here let me help her."
Ryuu took out a small vial from his storage ring and he poured a single drop from the vial on top of the cut on the child's knee, which closed instantly in front of everyone's eyes.
Ryuu asked the child, "Are you alright now?"
The child looked up with her big eyes full with amazement as she answered, "umu, thank you big brother."
Ryuu copied his sisters as he gave a kind smile as he tousled her hair before saying, "Now run along to your parents, they are worried for you."
The child went to her parents who hugged her tightly fearing that she would simply disappear if they let her out of their grasp.
The father of the girl kneeled in front of Ryuu as he spoke, "Thank you, your Lordship for sparing my daughter's life and healing her."
Ryuu just dismissed the entire matter off handedly as he spoke, "Please there is no reason, for you to say thanks I just happened to have a vial of healing liquid as such I helped, and your village as done nothing wrong to me so why should I harm any of you let alone a small child.", with that piece spoken he quickly made his way back along with his escorts.
Leaving the relieve parents to fuss over their children, as he disappeared from view he glance back to look at many people who were already spectating quickly came forward as the surrounded the family, Ryuu could hear due to his advanced hearing owing to him being a cultivator, how they were stating that the family was lucky to survive a disaster causing him to frown.
Ryuu would never admit to anyone but a small part of him was jealous, here in front of him were two people who threw their pride and honor kneeled in front of him begging for their child, readily offering their very lives in exchange for her whereas his own wanted to kill him, but then he mentally kicked himself as he thought, 'Since when did my mother try to kill me she even gave her life for me and those people from that rotten clan have no relation to me what so ever.'
