Heavenly Dao Child Chapter 457

Ryuu was giddy as his suggestion bore fruit, as he saw many eager to participate in the new craze that he introduced.

'We Immortals are by very definition like Gods and Goddess in the eyes of common people, especially people from my previous world but at the same time we do not have time to look and learn from the so-called ants' life, what I introduced was not a way of life in a village but a popular culture in my previous life, substituting wars with song duels, yup life would have been more pleasantly peaceful.'

Ryuu suddenly gained a frown as he whispered, "No this won't do, and as only a handful is participating it would be better if more did."

His eyes then fell on Severing Saber as he spoke in a whisper, "Psst, big brother Severing Saber here."

Severing Saber looked towards Ryuu who beckoned him, and as such with a confused look on his face he approached him.

Meanwhile, Zywia frowned seeing the identical smirk that Ryuu was sharing with Severing Saber as she whispered to True-Spear, "Ryuu is plotting something see that smirk on his face."

True-Spear looked at the direction as he spoke, "You are absolutely right that damnable smirk and look on their faces they really are planning something, but what?"

Their speculations came to an end as Severing Saber shouted out at the top of his voice, "Welcome every participant, welcome and to remind you this is the last call for participants after this no one will be allowed to participate no matter what they want to."

He looked around seeing only three groups of six each forming as such with a smirk he unleashed his trump card.

"No more than ten may form a group and to make it even spicier, I had a chat with young Ryuu and have managed to wrestle an agreement from him, the winning team will receive pills personally made by him, I hope you all do remember the 'Stone Heart Pill' don't you?"

A stunned silence followed as one of them shouted out, "What are you saying this is the last shout? This uncle has yet to show his skills."

"Screw you all I will eat you for breakfast."

"Ai ai, so much enthusiasm really it brings joy and energize this old bones, but remember no more than ten."

No sooner did her say at least sixteen teams of each containing ten formed as Severing Saber's smile increased even further as he looked at the audience, "Now now no need to look so glum just because you cannot play an instrument or sing or dance that does not mean that you cannot participate in it, you can always bet on it, if you land the winning bet, you get to share fifty-one per cent of the total betting items, for second place twenty-five per cent, and for the third place you get the twelve per cent."

Ryuu let out a small laugh before his smile vanished as he heard a growl from his side making him seat ramrod before he heard the sound of grinding teeth.

"I hope this is not your idea of fun, Ryuu it was a simple celebration and you devolved it into a gambling event."

Ryuu quickly gathered his courage as he faced Frost Flames, "Actually it was Severing Saber's idea, and he said it would make it even more enjoyable so I agreed."

Frost Flame's eyes narrowed as she spoke, "I hope you are not participating in this disgusting gambling habit."

Ryuu quickly shook his head as he spoke, "of course not love, I will not unless you want me to bet on Sister Zywia."

Frost Flame's eyes fell on smiling Zywia which made her smile as well before she spoke, "I believe Sister Zywia would appreciate it if you would simply cheer her up without betting on her."

Ryuu nodded as he spoke with a smile, "You are right though I really hope she wins."

Frost Flames nodded as she replied back, "Me too."

While inwardly Ryuu let out a sigh of relief, 'It is good that he did not pay any heed to our discussion, I think she would have been enraged if she knew that brother was splitting the profit in half with me.'

Ryuu quickly spotted a food as h willed it near him, tearing a piece of bread he dipped into it before eating it as an explosion of flavours took place inside his mouth he m.o.a.ned inwardly.

'Damn it was good maybe nowhere near my teacher's cooking but damn it is good, the bread is made like a pita bread of my last world and the dip is like hummus but infinitely tastier.'

"Love please try this bread with this dipping, it is delicious."

Frost Flames tried to food offered by Ryuu, her eyes sparkled as she spoke, "Delicious, this is really remarkable, what are they made off."

"The bread I believe is 'Thousand Thunder Wheat' and the dipping is from 'Carnivorous Cowpeas', they are delicious, are they not?"

Frost Flames nodded her head as she spoke, "Yes they are.", her eyes then suddenly fell on Ryuu as he deadpanned seeing him eating another piece of food with an elated look on his face.

"Ryuu others are staring, please do not eat too much."

"Well others are eating as well and it would be an insult to everyone who worked so hard to prepare the feast for us, as such I have decided to eat every type of food and drink everything drinkable that they had prepared, it is the least we could do for their sincere hard work."

The words said by Ryuu would have to affect greatly if she did not find him feasting on some bird meat with gusto.

"Do you love eating, Ryuu?"

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, "I am Gourmet Connoisseur, I love eating food after all who doesn't like eating good food."

Frost Flames giggled before she spoke with a soft sigh, "Then I will have to disappoint you my love but I am not good at cooking, in fact, I cannot cook to save my life."

Ryuu simply waved her off as he spoke, "There is no need to worry I also am the same, I might like to eat but I am not good at cooking, here try this if I am not wrong it is 'Six-legged Fire lamb' meat, it is an adequately spiced up and tasty."

Frost Flames bit into the juicy piece of meat as the explosive taste of the meat hit her full force, as the spices were not too mild neither scorching hot really did justice to the meat.

"Wow just wow, I never knew there were so many talented chefs amongst us, I never knew."

"So am I wrong, in trying to taste every one of them?"

Frost Flames shook her head before she spoke with a sad look on her face, "But, so much food I do not think we can eat everything even if we take small bites out of everything."

"Meh, the event will consume sometime so it will be alright if we take slow."

Frost Flames shook her head as she spoke, "I do not think so, no matter how much time passes it would not be possible."

They were silent for a moment as the first two groups faced each other, comparing with the memories of his previous life it was kind of bland but he was sure that as time would pass the competitors would learn from their mistakes and would become better.

"If you are a connoisseur then you might have eaten in lots of good places, any place worth mentioning."

A nostalgic smile appeared on Ryuu's face as he spoke, "Yes, there have been a few places that I had really enjoyed but till now the best I have tasted is in the 'Ten Thousand Year banquet', it was heavenly though you will have to wait Ten thousand years for the next one to happen."

A curious look passed through her as Frost Flames spoke, "Ten Thousand years banquet I have heard of it, my master had visited it last time."

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, "Yes it is a sight to see many strong cultivators each greater than the next, in that place cultivators like Dao fathers are dime a dozen, a rather humbling experience."

"I see"

Ryuu was silent for a moment before he spoke again, "The second place or rather a person whose food I love the most is my teacher's wife's cooking, how many times I ended in the hospital due to overeating that I lost count of it."

Frost Flames giggled at his words before she spoke, "I have told you before but I will tell you again, I so wish to meet your teacher and his family now, they are so nice, the more I hear the more I am intrigued to meet them."

Ryuu nodded as he spoke with a nostalgic smile as he spoke, "Of course they are."

A couple of hours later the party came to an end as some of them were elated while some disgruntled about their loss, while the couple for whom the celebration was looked content especially Frost Flames who had enjoyed the performances to her heart's contents, Ryuu was not far behind for him even though the performances were magical it lacked something but it was soon overshadowed by the profit he had received from Severing Saber.

'Damn that old man is super nice, he has all the makings of a conman but damn does he know how to make a profit.'

Even though it might not be even worth mentioning when placed against the various resources he usually has access to back in Ayindril, but still, he loved when managed to earn something with his own two hands, even if the means are slightly twisted.

"Where are we going Frost Flames?"

Frost Flames simply smiled as she dragged Ryuu by his hands towards a certain location, the location was a cave a good few distances away from the camp.

As Frost Flames dragged Ryuu inside the cosy cave his heart was hammering he was not born yesterday and with the looks, she was giving him he knew he was getting lucky tonight.

Frost Flames dragged him inside the cave before pushing him down on the soft ground, before laying on him.

'I see so that is where she disappeared in between the feast for a few minutes.'

Meanwhile, both True-Spear and Zywia gawked towards Su-Min who had just finished bragging about Frost Flames' plan and her part in it.

True-Spear did the only thing he could think of as he jumped up with anger as shouted with righteous anger, "That little shit trying to defile …"

~bang~

That was the only thing he could say before Zywia's Zither came down hard on his head, as she stood up gracefully as she spoke in a serious tone, "Su-Min take us to them now, if you don't all will be lost, that idiot has forgotten something vital and if they sleep today then chances of them getting together will become zero, his family would kill her."

The listeners which included others from Ryuu's group gulped as Su-Min quickly escorted them towards the cave.

'Ryuu you idiot rushing things so fast, that is not good, my idiot has yet to propose me, has yet to get permission for courting me and you are already going to sleep with her, unforgivable if I cannot become intimate with my lover then you will not as well.'

Back with the two lovers, Ryuu trailed a kiss down Frost Flames' neck as she let out a small m.o.a.n from her lips, but Ryuu was not done one of his hands gently caressed her back sending shivers down her spine, while his other hand cupped her b.r.e.a.s.t massaging it a bit roughly.

He could spell the arousal off of her which turned him even more, the n.i.p.p.l.es under his hand were erect, and then he bit her shoulder drawing a whimper of pleasure, while he felt her hand trailing down to his genitals.

********

[Safe part from here on]

********

An angered filled face suddenly appeared in his mind as the l.u.s.t vaporized as he quickly let go of Frost Flames who groaned as she spoke in a seductive tone, "Please do not tease me Ryuu."

Ryuu sat up straight as Frost Flames fell on his side, while he covered his face with his hands as he spoke in a muffled tone, "Sorry sorry I am so sorry."

Gone was the feeling of l.u.s.t and love from her eyes as it was soon filled with equal parts of concern, anger and frustration as she spoke out, "Ryuu what happened?"

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "I am sorry but I cannot do it, I am not ready for it."

A scowl slowly formed on Frost Flames face as she heard Ryuu's words, 'What is wrong with him? Where did the confident Ryuu disappear?'

"Is something wrong with me?"

"No there is nothing wrong with you, it is me."

A pit formed on Frost Flames' stomach as she spoke in a quivering tone, "Do you… do you have someone else you love?"

"No no."

"Then fiancée."

"No love it is not because of them, but I gave myself into l.u.s.t and forgot something very vital."

As Ryuu fidgeted before speaking, "Well you see the sutra that I use for cultivating.", as Frost Flames gave a nod of encouragement he pressed forward, "Well according to it, having s.e.x.u.a.l relation before I reach the Celestial Realm is bad, very bad for me, I would suffer from some severe side effects that might make me wish I were dead so I am a sorry."

Ryuu then did something that he never thought he would do Ryuu lowered his head in front of Frost Flames.

A tense silence descended between them before Frost Flames spoke in a serious one, "Ryuu please raise your head."

As he did so Frost Flames cupped his face before placing a quick chaste kiss on his lips as she spoke, "There is no need to fret about it, I should be the one to blame for hurrying everything, and as for having s.e.x.u.a.l relation with me, again there is no need for you to worry, I forced your hands without thinking about the consequences, so cheer up there is no need for you to feel so gloom, it is a matter of time that we can break into the next realm."

Ryuu only gave a small nod but before he could speak a large shout came from outside, "Brother Ryuu stop it, the think about your family what would they think."

Ryuu's brow twitched as Frost Flames spoke with a sigh, "Let us tidy ourselves up before we face them."

True-Spear looked at the cave entrance as he spoke with a frown, "Damn it they are not stepping outside.", he then opened his mouth wide as he bellowed out loud, "Sister what would master th…", whatever he was about to say was stopped courtesy of Frost Flames' shoes that found its way directly into his mouth.

As an enraged Frost Flames step outside she glared towards True-Spear before speaking with a huff, "I love you brother but sometimes you are such an idiot, I was spending some time alone not only did you barge in like a bull on a china shop, now you are preventing my cuddle time with my Ryuu go die in a ditch."

Ryuu looked towards True-Spear as with a look akin to pity as he thought, 'Good brother, you are such a good brother, I know that Frost Flames was annoyed at me but you provided the perfect outlet for her anger and frustrations, I promise after everything is over I will do something nice for your sacrifice.'
