The Way of The Dao

"As my son, I promise you that you are going to be a great man, a true dragon among men that there will even be many girls who will follow you, hehehe..."

A man with an appearance of over 30 years old but still looked young, stood on top of a mountain. His gaze seemed to observe the village below the mountain, but he also seemed to grasp the mysteries both in that place and the sky above them.

Next to him, a boy of an appearance between 10 and 12 years of age, with a radiant complexion and a face of charm despite still being very young and small, was also looking towards the small village while thinking about many things. The man next to him patted his head affectionately, while laughing mysteriously and exuding a sense of great pride as he watched his son.

"I'm going to be a great man like you, Dad!" The boy raised his hand skyward, declaring that he would become like the man next to him. And before he finished, he added hesitantly, "But did many women really follow you, father?" His eyes looked expectantly at the man, as if doubting whether the latter would be true.

"Haha, of course they did!" The man nodded proudly as he looked up and said, "When your father was younger, there were many women who followed him and wanted to marry him." The man noticed the interested look on his son's face and immediately added, "Even now there are still several women who love your father very much." His look seemed to show much more pride as he spoke about this.

The boy's eyes sparkled mysteriously before he nodded in amazement, "Ohhh, no wonder many beautiful women know Dad and greet him with lots of smiles."

"Of course it is." The man nodded with a vain posture before continuing, "That's why you should heed everything I tell you and be a good son. That way there will be many girls who will fall before you, as well as the women who love your father even now."

The boy nodded earnestly, as if engraving his father's advice on his heart.

However, the boy suddenly smiled mischievously with a great mysterious gleam in his jet black eyes and said, "I wonder what Mom would say when she found out that there are many women who love Dad. Mom must be proud to have Dad as her husband..." His grin widened further as a trace of slyness and mischief was evident as he looked at his father.

Instantly, the man broke out in a cold sweat on his back, feeling as if an icy waterfall was pouring down his body before hastily saying, "Son! You can't tell your mother this! S-she'd take it out on me and you don't want Dad to have an accident, do you?" A low sound as he swallowed saliva was heard as he watched the shine in his son's eyes, finally realizing that his son caused him to overtalk and spill the beans.

When he thought of his wife, the most beautiful woman in town, city and family, the man felt even more fear as his heartbeat increased insanely at the thought of all that this wife of his would do to him if she found out what he said to this boy who was a priceless treasure to her, far more important than himself.

"Mmm, I don't know..." The boy smiled mischievously as he rejoiced at his father's fearful expression at the mention of his mother. After a few seconds of waiting as he calculated the time when his father would lower his defenses and be flimsy, he said with a whimsical smile, "Unless someone promises to take me into the forest to explore and hunt on vacation, I might keep this a secret and a special, private tip from Daddy~..."

The man wanted to spank his son for cornering him in this way, knowing that he would have to agree if he didn't want to confront his wife. As much as he loved his wife, that love could also become his main fear and dread in confronting his wife. He was faithful to his wife, but it seemed that she would always believe whatever this son of theirs said before him!

"All right." The father sighed helplessly at this. Not only did he have to fulfill his son's whim, but he also had to convince his wife that he would take his son with him next time when they went exploring.

"Hehe, then it will be a secret between father and son! For now..."

"Huh?"

The boy chuckled mischievously before running and going down the mountain, laughing as he called out to his father, "If you catch up to me, so I won't tell mom today! Oh, and you have to buy me lots of sweets too!" The boy laughed slyly as he ran quickly almost leaving his father several yards behind.

"You smelly brat, you dare to blackmail your father! You look like you want a good spanking!" The man had been stunned for a few moments before he started to run as well and chase after his son, yelling what he would do to him once he caught up with him.

That son of his really was very cunning, mischievous and very smart.

But still, the man had a happy expression as he ran after him, laughing and arguing with his son before catching him.

The two figures on the horizon quickly became one as the father picked up his son and carried him over his shoulders, both laughing as they headed for home.

...

Inside a beautiful and pretty female room, a pretty girl looking about 15 years old was cleaning the ear of the boy who had his head in her lap. Her eyes sparkled beautifully as she lovingly and tenderly cared for every part of the child's ear and head. A cute melody full of love and feelings would emerge from her pretty mouth as she hummed some song phrases.

It would be easy to tell that this cute little girl would grow into an amazing and beautiful woman.

"My adorable little brother, do you already have any little girl you like?" The girl asked softly, but if one were paying attention, it seemed that she had struggled to ask this question while avoiding losing control in her actions and avoiding hurting his ear.

"Uhm, no. There aren't any girls that I like. Although I like them all a lot because they always play with me and we all have fun." The boy replied with a smile, but this caused a relieved sigh to come from his older sister.

"So, how about marrying your big sister? That way we'll still be together and I'll love you that much more." The girl spoke with a huge smile, with a big gleam in her beautiful eyes as she exuded joy and happiness at the thought of what she said.

"Mhn? But big sister, we're siblings and siblings can't marry." The boy was slightly surprised and then spoke as he turned to look at his sister and said, "Besides, Cousin Xinxin told me that she wanted to marry me when we grew up and said there would be no problem. She also told mom about it and mom apparently agreed."

"S-she... what?!" The girl exclaimed before realizing it and then muttered as her face grew gloomy, "That Xinxin told me she had no intentions with you and even that mother of ours dared to say yes... I'll deal with Xinxin when I see her later... it looks like I'll also have to see my other so-called sisters who spend a lot of time with you lately..."

The girl mumbled resentfully as the pout grew on her pretty face as well. Her heart was pounding furiously at the thought of the female thieving cats that would want to take her younger brother away.

The boy heard his older sister mutter, but he also said nothing, fearing that he might upset his sister even though he knew she would never be angry with him.

"My little brother, you will become a handsome man in the future, but you must not date any girl! Do you understand? Because I'm the only one who will become your wife in the future~"

The girl spoke firmly as she took her younger brother's face and looked at him seriously, with those enamored eyes while a mysterious gleam appeared in them.

"Uhm, en!" The boy also loved his older sister very much and wanted to be with her always, so he finally nodded with a big smile that made the girl's face glow.

Although the boy meant that siblings could not marry, he seemed to feel that what his sister said was not limited to that. Even she had told their mother and she laughed as she looked at them and hugged them, as if there really was no problem.

A very happy smile formed on the girl's pretty face as she hugged her adored and beloved younger brother.

...

"Mom..."

The moonlight in the middle of the night came through the window, subtly illuminating the figures of two people lying on a bed, one large and one small.

The large figure was a very beautiful and gorgeous woman who looked young as she gave off the great feelings of love and tenderness, with that happy, love-filled glow on her face as she lovingly watched the small figure in her arms.

Her arms held her son in her embrace as she kept him company at night before bedtime.

A mother's love could be felt throughout the room; a mother cuddling her child to sleep peacefully.

The child felt his mother's warmth and love, getting comfortable and cuddled as he tried to sleep. A sense of well-being and peace filled his being, feeling happy and loved.

But before he slept, the son blinked and whispered with a touch of hesitation to his mother.

"What do you have, my darling?" The mother asked with a smile.

The boy thought for a while before saying, "Mom, will we always be together? You, dad, my big sister... the whole family?"

"Of course we will, why do you say that? We will always be together, my adored and beloved child." The mother was surprised when she noticed the hidden feelings in her son's eyes, so she hugged him more lovingly and tenderly, whispering and promising him from her heart.

"Mommy, you know, you will always be my Mom whom I will love very much, I will never forget you!" The boy smiled brightly, exposing the feelings in his heart and making his mother feel the happiness and love in her heart and respond by hugging her son tighter.

"And you will always be my son, my beloved child and I will never forget you. You will always be in my heart." The mother smiled happily as she tenderly kissed her son's forehead. This child occupied her heart and was everything to her.

"My little son, my little angel fallen from heaven, don't ever give up, okay? You have to be strong and overcome all obstacles no matter how impossible they may seem to you, so that you can overcome and live happily.... "

The beautiful woman spoke softly, trying to convey strength and confidence in her adored son, this child who was slowly beginning to realize the relationship between him and all of them, but still didn't want to face it.

She knew exactly what her son was thinking even though he tried to hide it, so she would always convey him her confidence, her love and more so that he would always be happy and be able to go through all kinds of obstacles in the future. His intelligence had always been so high and deep that it would not be strange for him to find the secret between the family and him.

The mother lovingly and tenderly embraced her son, humming a soft song that made the boy sleep after a while.

The moon in the sky emitted an indescribable touch of sensation to those who saw it. Its brightness illuminated the stars that were lost in the vast horizon, exuding beauty and perfection.
