The Urban Dao Child.

The boy sat down next to the leopard humming a gentle tune. Let alone the guards even the classmates have never known the boy to hum or sing. Tonight was the first time they have heard such a thing. 

Suddenly the Leopard raised her head and glanced in a direction in the mountains. Yang Dao asked, "Do you feel anything?"

He immediately spread out his perception but could not find anything. He said, "Sushi, wake up." At this moment he was wearing a fur coat. Sushi was resting in the fluffy collar. He spoke using the spiritual bond. 

It was similar to the bond he had with Feng Yun and the others. Yet this tiny sylph had taught him a spell and then the two people were capable of talking through thoughts. Sushi revealed her tiny head out of the fluffy collar and asked drowsily, "Master, what happened?"

The boy said, "Can you go in the direction this leopard is looking and report the situation?" 

The sylph nodded and said, "Okay master." then with a whoosh, the girl vanished from his sight. Yang Dao was her master so he could see her moving through the skies, she turned into a streamer.

The boy said to the leopard in a low voice, "Well calm down, we will know if something is wrong, soon. Okay?"

The leopard growled. Soon, the sylph said, "Master, there are three people carrying weapons. They look similar to the hunters. Also, they seem to be looking for the leopard next to you. I can see two little cubs as well." 

Yang Dao\'s heart tightened. He said, "Can you hold these people off. I will arrive in a few minutes?" as he talked he had already rushed inside the house.

The tiny girl said, "Okay master. But please be quick."

Yang Dao did not answer her and came to his room. he took out the gun from his luggage and put it on the underarm holster. He came back to the backyard and found the leopard missing. He asked Eric, "Where did she go?"

The guard was confused and pointed his finger in a certain direction. Yang Dao yelled, "SHIT."

He said, "Come with me and take your guns we have to face some hunters in the mountains." With that said he rushed out like the wind. Mina Orlenko panicked and was about to stop him when Sasha said, "Don\'t worry. He will be fine. Did you not see him taming that leopard? Dao is elusive, we humans cannot understand him." 

The people shook their heads and a few guards ran after Yang Dao. The boy at this moment was running on the mountainous track with no problem. Suddenly he heard bike engines revving behind him. Eric and four more guards rod two bikes. Eric said young master get on.

The people rode over in the direction where Yang Dao pointed them to. Suddenly the boy pinched on Eric\'s shoulder and said, "Stop the bikes. We travel on foot. The sound of the engine will alert these poachers. 

Smoke Leopard was one of the rarely sighted animals. Although the jewel nation did not support hunting, they did not impose any strict bans on it either. This had led to scenes where people would go hunting and then they would get away with a slight fine. 

Yang Dao disliked harming nature, thus hunting was a crime to him, after all, human hunters would not eat a predator, then why would they hunt? For the carcass of the exotic animals that will get the money. This was criminal and sinful. 

Equipped with a gun anyone can kill an animal from a distance if you sneak up. Even the tigers in the jungle would go close to the deer it was hunting. This act of sneaking up and killing was just a cowardly act of people to call themselves brave and get fake recognition. If you want to be worthy, go stand in front of the beast and try to duke it out with them. 

The human body is weaponless, yet the damage it does to the world is the greatest. The six people walked on the sloping hill slowly, and soon they heard human activity. Some curses were raining out. 

"The fuck, where did this storm came in?" a grumpy voice sounded.

"The dust is getting in my eyes." said another one. 

Yang Dao and the rest came to the side and saw a weird scene. Three people were trapped in a dust cloud. The boy spotted the leopard standing in front of an open Murrow, he could sense two little cubs behind her as well, peeking at the whole scene with curiosity in their eyes. 

The boy took out his gun and the rest of the guards did the same. They slowly walked forward to the dust cloud. Yang Dao said, "Sushi, let it stop." 

"Yes, Master." the tiny girl flashed from the other side and came to his side. She dived in the soft furry collar and sighed in comfort. 

The boy did not pay any attention to her. The dust cloud settled down. The guards did not wait for any instructions and directly controlled the three offenders. The people protested but it was all in vain. Yang Dao said to Eric, send them back to where they came from. Thankfully we arrived in time."

Eric nodded and went up to his people to make the arrangements. Yang Dao came to the Murrow. The leopard had smelled the boy\'s arrival so she lowered down her guard slightly. Yang Dao patted her back after he crouched down. He said, "Don\'t worry, I will arrange for some people to patrol the mountains. There will be no hunters in the future." 

To him protecting the animals was as valuable a task as protecting the people. Humans were meant to maintain the balance of the world. So, they should guard the order in the wild to keep it safe and clear of human interference. To let the wild stay the wild. 

Then he sat down at the side of the leopard and gazed at the moon like two little cubs actively played around him and eventually they started to interact with Yang Dao as well. The boy was lost in his thoughts as he gazed at the moon.
