The Urban Dao Child

...

The next morning Yang Dao woke up and changed into a set of sports shirts and boxers. He put on his running shoes and was ready to go out for a run. He saw that the two leopards were gazing at him with twinkling eyes. He said, "Well, okay, but do not be naughty when you go out."

The leopards nodded humanely. Yang Dao could understand their emotions when they were just normal beasts. He said, "Sushi, wake up. You are the nanny."

Sushi was meditating in his hair. She woke up by his call. She said, "Master, why am I the nanny?"

Yang Dao said, "Because you are older than the two of them. Also, did you name them?"

The little sylph flew around his head and said, "They have names. Their mother gave them one in their own language. The boy is white so she called him Luster, the girl is black so she called her Shadow."

Yang Dao glanced at the two beasts and nodded. He said, "I wonder how the people will react to them." with that said he did not waste any time and came out of the house. Lisa was at this moment busy preparing breakfast for him. The beasts now absorbed the source of energy as their food and they did not like normal food. Just as much as a human meal was enough to sate their taste buds.

One human, two-spirit beasts, and one elemental spirit boarded the elevator and came down to the lobby on the ground floor. The residency had around-the-clock staff. Right now, the people on the night shift were still on duty.

They saw the elevator stopping at their level and all became alert. After all, the residents in the building were rich and powerful. The door opened and they were shocked to see Yang Dao walking out with two big leopards following on both his sides.

The people sucked in cold breaths but Yang Dao said, "Calm down, they are not wild."

The staff was stunned when they thought about the implementations in the simple sentence he just used. The beasts were not wild, did that not mean, Yang Dao was keeping leopards as his pets and that too, such unique-looking ones.

Yang Dao said, "Luster, Shadow, greet everyone."

The two leopards nodded like a human and gazed at the four people in the lobby. They nodded to them as well and Yang Dao took them out for a run around the society, leaving the people in shock. They did not expect the beasts to be so intelligent and well-behaved. The girl behind the reception table said, "Young Master is a proper tycoon. How can he take in usual dogs as his pets? Look at those elegant beasts, how they are so tamed around Young Master. The charm of an idol."

If not for the reason that she was a human and not an anime figure, her eyes would have turned to stars like a little fan girl.

...

Yang Dao ran around the society parameter and he was spotted by a few people. The people were shocked but after they recovered, they only had some sweat on their backs and surprise in their eyes as they saw a human running ahead with two leopards on his sides and the speed was comparable to a national level athlete.

...

A little boy and girl were walking with an old man chattering endlessly. The old man also had a smile on his face. You can tell that he loved these two little ones. Suddenly the two kids exclaimed together.

"Such pretty cats." their eyes were twinkling.

Yang Dao had run around for an hour and he was now resting at the side of the garden. The two leopards were sitting on either of his sides. The kids were not too old just three or four years old. So they could not differentiate between cats and leopards. But the old man, how could he not know that the two beasts were predators.

He wanted to stop his grandchildren but the two kids were already out of his reach. He said, "Tim, Kim, stop." his heart was almost out of his mouth.

Yang Dao heard the voice and saw two kids running over. They came to stop, five-meter away from him. He crouched down and said, "Hello."

The two replied, "Hello."

The old man had caught up at this moment and came to stand in front of them. He was panting as he almost sprinted for a few steps. The old man asked, "Young man, these two beasts are dangerous."

Yang Dao expected this reaction and smiled. He calmly spoke, "Sir, these two leopards were rescued by me when they were just a couple of weeks old. They grew up in contact with humans and are completely harmless. Until someone hurts them they do not attack."

He said, "Luster, Shadow, greet the old sir."

The two beasts sat down on their hind legs and bowed slightly to the old man. Actually, they were dancing to the wind whip in Sushi's hands. She had warned them earlier. The warning sounded like, "You two overgrown kittens, if the master was embarrassed because of you I will make you lose a layer of your fur and make coats out of it."

Back to the current scene, the old man stood in a daze. Tim and Kim peeked out from behind his legs and the boy asked, "Big brother, can we pet them?"

Yang Dao said, "Yes if your grandpa allows you to."

The two kids looked at the old man with big puppy eyes. The old man hesitated and finally succumbed to the lethal weapon. He said, "Okay, but be careful."

His heart was not at ease. The two kids walked over behind him and came close to the two beasts. They had no fear in their hearts. Yang Dao gazed at Sushi, who swung the whip in the void and said, "Lean over, let them touch you."

The two leopards gave in to their fates and leaned over, the kids smiled, the head of the kitten was finally in their reach. Two small palms petted the two big heads. It just happened that someone recorded this scene and uploaded the video on the net. The video was titled, "The Idol Man."
