Heavenly Dao Child

Ryuu felt his stomach do flip flop, but then a certain person's face floated in front of his eyes, that made him grimace inwardly, 'I hope That Woman does not find out, who am I kidding she will definitely find and kill her, but should I move forward with this relation... screw it if I spend my life with what-ifs I will never get anything done.'

Meanwhile back with Zywia and her group, they had managed to copy Ryuu as they had managed to bore deep into the ground in a similar manner, they had managed to settle down a good few kilometers away from the duo.

Su-Min frowned at that as she spoke, "I do not understand why did you purposefully make us to leave those two alone?"

Zywia gained a small smile as she spoke, "Well I hope those two can find love for each other by spending some time alone, I was getting frustrated upon seeing them hover around each other like that, I hope that they can find love in each other."

Su-Min blinked at her before she stood up towering over Zywia as she pointed towards her with her hands shaking, "WHAT!!!! How could you? I know you for so long, you were supposed to help me capture Ryuu, how could you do that to me."

Zywia snapped back at her as she spoke, "Oh shut up, if you had wanted so much to pursue relationship with him, then you should have tried a bit harder."

Su-Min pouted as she gained a dejected look on her face as she spoke, "Aww, he was such a nice catch, not to mention I know him for so much longer than Frost Flames."

Frozen Ocean deadpanned at her as she spoke, "You met him a few minutes before Frost Flames did, so please stop making such outlandish claims."

"Meh semantics, but really I missed a great catch."

Zywia snorted at that as she spoke, "You are lucky that you are saying that in front of me if it was in front of his family, even if you were joking you would not have lived to see the next day."

True-Spear frowned as he spoke with slight hint of anxiousness in his voice, "Zywia, do you thing they would accept his relation with my sister?"

Zywia frowned at that as she spoke, "I do not know whether they would accept their relation or not, if they do not want to then it would difficult, extremely so for them to be together."

True-Spear grimaced at that as Zywia continued, "Our families are Ancient, our ancestors are so old that even some of the present DaoFathers were toddlers when our ancestors were height of power."

Others looked at her with wide eyed awe and she was right in a way that her own mother and father is Ancient and are old enough that many of the present DaoFathers were mere child when they were at a rise, and Ryuu's teachers they were even older.

'I hope Ryuu can have a stable relation though I fear he mind end up outstripping her as time passes and who knows if their relation might survive as the gap between them widen even more and more.'

Frozen Ocean looked down for a moment as she spoke with a soft sigh, "I do not know Ryuu's family's names but I know that his older sisters are scarily strong and is referred to and treated as Empresses."

Both True-Spear and Su-Min paid undivided attention towards Frozen Ocean as Su-Min spoke, "So he is some form of Royalty?"

Frozen Ocean snorted at that as she spoke, "Royalty please they are The Royalty, they are the very definition of Royalty ruling over a vast part of the Universe, in fact my sect is under their protection, I might have never met them but definitely seen them from afar."

"You are right they are Royalty with enough strength and pull that they can even make DaoFather's disappear if they manage to anger them."

Both Su-Min and True-Spear's eyes widen, as Frozen Ocean nodded in agreement as she spoke, "There are many stories about them, some good, some bad and some outright cruel, like I have heard once a cultivator tried to ensnare them as his slaves, only for them to incur their wrath as a result they burned the entire planet that the cultivator resided to ash."

As both the listeners' face gained a look of fear, Zywia searched her memories trying to remember such incident but failed spectacularly making her shrug inwardly at that, 'Well I do not know about that, but I have seen the aftermath of their small tussle, a simply parry took out an entire planet.'

True-Spear looked confused at that as he spoke, "But, how? How does someone be allowed to wield such powers at their beck and call, would the seniors not get angry, for someone who are so much their junior to act as such."

Both Zywia and Frozen Ocean looked at him with disbelief for a moment before Zywia spoke with a sigh, "How strong do you think they are?"

True-Spear frowned at that as he spoke, "Well if they are Ryuu's big sisters then they should be around maybe a Celestial just like your brother."

Zywia shook her head with a small smile on her face as she spoke, "No you are wrong, the age difference between them and Ryuu is ginormous, in fact they are of my parents generation, our family had alliance with his because my parents were their friends, and Ryuu he is even younger than not only me but everyone of you."

As True-Spear gawked at her, while smile full of enlightenment formed on Su-Min as she spoke, "That means according to their relationship, in a way Ryuu's elder sisters are like your aunt right?"

As Zywia nodded Su-Min's grin widened as she spoke, "Does that not make Ryuu your 'uncle'?"

Zywia's face went blank before she mirrored Su-Min's smile as she spoke, "You are right Su-Min, why have I missed this oh I am going to so pester and tease him, now."

She then turned to look at True-Spear whose face was marred by a frown, as she spoke with a sigh, "Do you remember the list of names of those, who had managed to reach and conquer the 14th floor, that Ryuu always says he would surpass."

True-Spear nodded at that as he spoke, "Well I have not seen that but Ryuu mentioned it before once."

Zywia continued, "Those names belong to my parents and some of their friends which included Ryuu's sisters."

True-Spear suddenly felt helpless upon hearing that, 'Will I be really able to court Zywia, she is not a braggart nor is she someone who would lie like that if what she is telling is true I do not have anything that might look in her parent's eyes.'

As he thought about it, he leaned back with his hand supporting him only for his hand to slip as he fell back, the others would have laughed at his misfortune if not for the ground beneath him to cave in as he disappeared into the darkness as Zywia screamed out his name outloud.

The snow covered ground exploded as Ryuu followed by Frost Flames stepped out of their hiding place, "No matter what I cannot help but marvel at the scenery of this place covered under a blanket of snow."

"So true Ryuu."

The glanced at each other as Frost Flames spoke with a smile, "Shall we search for them."

Before Ryuu could respond the ground once again exploded a few distance away as a group of four emerged from it, "Let us greet them."

"And from what you have said they might have quite the adventure to tell."

Ryuu nodded at that, during their stay inside their little hole they might be in an emotional coaster ride, but that did not mean that Ryuu did not keep an eye on others, as his array indicated that they were on the move, sometimes up, sometimes down, then sideways it looked as if they had exploring something.

The ground exploded as the group of four emerged from beneath the snow, as True-Spear spoke with a huge grin on his face, "Guess what I found."

Both Frost Flmaes and Ryuu looked at each other before they spoke in unison, "Treasure?"

True-Spear's grin widen as he spoke, "Even better, the gateway to the other level."

Ryuu's eyes sparkled at that as he spoke, "Really?"

True-Spear nodded as Ryuu exclaimed with large grin on his face, "Then what are we waiting for, let us return to camp and then we can move to our new destination."

With that decision in mind the group moved swiftly towards their base, with fire of anticipation and excitement burning brightly within their heart, Zywia glanced at the duo as a slightly smile graced her lips, 'This is wonderful now I will not be the only one who has to face music after they stepped out of this place.'

As soon as they reached base they were approached by none other than Amnon who spoke with a stern look on his face, "We have a serious problem."

Ryuu frowned at that as he spoke, "What is it brother?"

"A few hours ago Elmer took some of his men and left the base, brother DarkThorne followed after them with intent to keep an eye on them, it was then the blizzard struck and according to him, they tried to rescue their brethren and got caught."

Ryuu rubbed the bridge of his nose as he spoke, "Wonderful just wonderful, that idiot seemed to have performed rather spectacularly.", before a look of concern bled onto his face as he spoke, "Is brother DarkThorne alright?"

Amnon nodded as he spoke with a sigh, "Well he is suffering from frostbite otherwise he is fine."

Ryuu bit his lips as he spoke, "It seems we have to abandon the base and move as fast as possible, who knows if they have managed to pry our secrets off of them by now, pass the words along we are leaving, and leaving fast."
