Chapter 3 - The Empress's Heart Demon

Chapter 3 - The Empress's Heart Demon

'You kid, your life is really big.'

The person in the lead was a fat man with a face full of horizontal meat, swaying his steps and arrogantly walking forward.

'If you're not dead, then you're not dead, but you have to pay the tribute money you've dropped in the past few days.'

'Yo, why is there one more person, this little girl is so handsome.'

Fatty surveyed the room and found Renaya, who had just been woken up and shrunk on the bed with a wary face.

'There's an extra person, you have to pay double tribute money! Can you pay it?!'

The fat man waved his fists and bared his teeth threateningly at Reo.

'Can't, I'm moving out tomorrow.' Lei Ou said in a cold voice.

'Moving out?'

But the fat man's eyes glazed over when he heard this.

'Where are you moving to? With my permission?'

'Think you don't have to pay if you move away?!'

'This is the house that our Black Tiger Gang gave you as alms, you dare not want it?'

The more the fat man spoke, the more he got excited, his ugly horizontal flesh twitching.

'If you want to move out, the tribute money has to be paid just the same! You also have to pay the tribute money for all the years we've watched over you!'

'Let's make it 10 silver coins in total, not a cent less! Can you afford to pay?'

Listening to his flaunting chiding, Lei Ou's eyes grew cold and his face sombre.

'No.'

'Hmph, then hurry up and get lost to raise the money! This little girl, I'll take it back for you to take care of will ...'

The dead fat man's words turned, actually looking towards Renaya on the bed! With a lewd smile, he licked his lips.

Saying that, he ignored Lei Ou, his fat face smiled lewdly and walked straight towards Renaya!

'Ah! Brother!' Renaya instantly cried out, a look of fear on her face, her body panicked and backed away, bending her knees and curling up on the bed.

And as Renaya's cries rang out, Leo's punch arrived.

That fat boss completely did not expect that Leo, who was standing at his side, would suddenly attack!

Lei Ou's fist was like a viper's sting, stealthy and fast, but also powerful, ruthlessly crashing into the fat man's fleshy face.

Boom!

The fat man, who was estimated to be over two hundred pounds, flew out horizontally on the spot, directly hitting the thin wooden board wall, and the whole house shook and fell into dust!

'Ah?!' The other two followers froze on the spot.

But Leo didn't stop yet! He rushed to the dead fat man curled up on the ground and lifted his foot with force and stomped!

Ka-ching...

The fat man's arm instantly bent over at a twisted angle, and with another stomp, Leo's other hand was similarly broken raw!

'Go ahead, take her and try.'

Lei Ou stood tall and said coldly.

That fat man's eyes closed tightly, his mouth opened and howled a few times, falling out a few bloodied teeth.

He couldn't stop sucking in cold air and trembling!

'Take ... away ...'

He said weakly in a slurred voice.

Those two followers woke up like a dream at this moment, wanting to go up and beat up Lei Ou, but they were scared to stay in place by a look from him.

'Boss, really take this little girl away?'

One follower's voice trembled as he glanced at Lei Ou in fear.

Fatty was like this and still thinking about that little girl?

This young man was not as simple as he thought before he came, he didn't dare to get on!

Fatty couldn't hold back any longer and opened his mouth wide to growl, 'I said take me away!'

'Yes!' The two punks hurriedly squeezed up and handily dragged their boss out of the door.

'Just fucking wait!'

Lei Ou watched them walk out, and Fatty's slurred and leaking voice came from outside the door.

The district mortals could be killed or not, he just didn't want Renaya to see too much blood.

Anyway, tonight, he was going to take Renaya out of this disgusting place.

He turned towards Renaya on the bed, wanting to comfort her.

However, he found that Renaya was actually cowering in the corner as a whole, hugging her knees, her eyes streaming with tears!

'Renaya, what's wrong with you?'

Lei Ou rushed forward to embrace her, pulling her into his arms.

But Renaya was just silently weeping, as if she had been greatly stimulated, exactly the same state as when she cremated her grandfather last night.

Lei Ou hugged her, wiping her tears and comforting her, coaxing her for a while.

It was only then that Renaya huffed and puffed, revealing the reason why she was crying.

It turned out that a few days ago, Renaya's grandfather, was beaten by these people from the Black Tiger Gang!

The fat man who came to find Lei Ou just now was one of the murderers.

Lei Ou hugged Renaya and put his face on her head, letting her hold on tightly to himself.

In his previous life, Lei Ou had always wondered what the Devil's Road Empress, Renaya, had gone through to end up on the bloodthirsty path of being an enemy of the Justice League.

Now that Lei Ou understood, the incident where her grandfather was rounded up and beaten to death by the mortal gangsters must have become an important part of her path to blackness!

It could even be said that it was not too much to say that it was a heart demon.

In this life, since the two of them had met, then of course Lei Ou wanted to avenge her.

Not seeking to change the empress's character, but at least it would enhance her feelings for herself.

'Renaya, do you want to avenge your grandfather?'

'I want to, but, Renaya doesn't dare to ...'

Renaya's voice was small and glutinous, and seemed to tremble at the thought of those people's voices.

'Don't be afraid, there's brother here, brother will help you take revenge.'

'In the future, no one will ever dare to bully you again, because I will step in and kill them all!'

Lei Ou gently stroked Renaya's small head and spoke in a gentle voice.

Listening to Lei Ou's comfort, Renaya's originally trembling body gradually calmed down.

She pressed herself against Lei Ou's chest, her small hand tugging at his collar.

'Thank you brother.' She murmured.

'Brother Lei Ou, why are you so good to me ...'

At this moment in her heart, she felt that the best and kindest person in the whole world besides her grandfather was Lei Ou, right?

She felt that she was really so lucky and fortunate to have met such a good person. Willing to bury her grandfather, give herself food, and help her take revenge.

Thinking of this, her small hand wrapped around Lei Ou's chest got a little harder.

'I said it ah, because we're a class of people then.' Lei Ou stroked Renaya's back and said softly.

'I just want to protect Renaya, because this world is dangerous and cold, so I want to stand with Renaya and fight against those bad guys together.'

'Now I'll protect Renaya, and when my brother gets old, Renaya will come back to protect me, okay?'

Renaya's little head nodded heavily, and her whole body curled up in Lei Ou's arms, only feeling a sense of security apart from the rest.

After hugging Renaya for a while longer, Lei Ou lowered his head and found that Renaya had actually fallen asleep in his arms.

The corner of the little girl's eyes still had crystalline teardrops, her long eyelashes were gently fluttering, and her face was quiet and lovely.

Her delicate and pretty features were exquisite, her skin was fair and pink, powdered and carved like a porcelain doll.

At a closer look, one could really see a few moments of the stunningly beautiful appearance of that Devil's Road empress a few hundred years later.

Lei Ou carefully placed her on the bed and covered the quilt.

Then took out some copper money from the bottom of the family's box, left the house, and went to the black market to buy a knife.

It was just an ordinary mortal weapon without any divine difference.

After all, he was only a Humanity Realm Cultivator right now, facing a large group of gangsters surrounding him didn't have a hundred per cent chance of winning.

Moreover, even though it was a slum in a small mundane country, there was no guarantee that there wasn't a single cultivator in the Black Tiger Gang.

Cultivation was not enough, but techniques would come in handy.

The Ink Splattering Blade Technique was a martial art that the inner disciples of the Zhen Yuan Sect could cultivate.

Being a martial art, it was inherently weaker than those divine abilities, with no heaven-turning mana effects, it was just a Spirit Grade gongfu.

(Feats/items level: Mortal, Spirit, Dao, Immortal, Saint, Emperor)

But, it was also one of the purest martial arts that Lei Ou had mastered in his previous life during the early stages of his cultivation!

The chaotic sword slashes were like ink and rain, and when practised to the extreme, the light of the sword was as fast as a stream of fireflies, making it difficult for even a humanistic cultivator to resist!

Lei Ou relied on this common martial art to suddenly storm out and pit many opponents!

Against these gangsters in the slums, it was naturally enough.

The sleepless night was spent in cultivating the Heavenless Sunshine Technique and practising the Ink Splashing Blade Technique.

Throughout the night, Lei Ou cultivated the Heavenless Sun Transformation Technique, tidying up the chaotic true qi that was raging in his body, and eventually managed to impact to the fifth level of the Felling Pulse!

In just one night, he had broken through the Bone Hardening Realm, becoming an expert amongst mortals!

Nowadays, ordinary swords and soldiers could not break through his skin, his bones were hard as iron, and his meridians were smooth and extremely resilient!

'I wonder if a fifteen year old body can still kill...'

The corner of Lei Ou's mouth hooked up as he slowly stood up.

The pure combat skills of his previous life also surfaced in his mind, even without those powerful divine abilities and magic talismans, he had killed countless people just by his fists and feet!

He really thought that the Justice League's deputy leader was a good person, didn't he? The path of Taoist cultivation was the path of great struggle, cultivation resources were limited, and in order to progress, one had to struggle!

Even under the banner of protecting the mainland of China's Justice League, all the people inside, including the leader Yani! Who did not step on the bones of their peers to climb up?

At this point, the Justice League was not as honest as those Holy Sects!

Thinking of this, Lei Ou's heart stirred and he turned to look at Renaya on the bed.

Immediately after, the scene in front of him caused the pupils of his eyes to shake tremendously!

As the light of day brightened, the first rays of sunlight shone diagonally from the broken hole in the roof into the house, sprinkling onto Renaya's quiet and cute little face as she slept. But strangely enough, the sunlight that was originally direct, when it was close to Renaiya, it seemed to have suddenly entered another realm and began to twist irregularly!

The sunlight was twisted like a snake into many segments that surrounded Renaya's tiny body.

Lei Ou saw that there were many things that looked like runes, dyed gold by the sunlight, flying around Renaiya's body, seemingly condensing out of the air, and finally drilling into her brow.

Leo was appalled in his heart.

'This is, the omen of the awakening of the Immortal Spirit Dao Body ... But she's only six years old!'

With any special cultivation physique, the earlier it was awakened, the more it could utilise its full talent.

Lei Ou's Chaos Talent and Fragrance Charm Talent were awakened at the ages of fifteen and twenty-three respectively, and although the dual talents sounded powerful, awakening them too late was a waste of time.

But Renaya, who was only six years old and didn't even know how to write the word cultivation, had actually awakened?

This meant that for her entire cultivation journey, she would be able to enjoy the enhancement of the Immortal Spirit Talent!

This was the first time that Lei Ou had seen the heaven and earth dao laws, and those dao laws that he couldn't understand scrambled into Renaya's brain.

'It seems like right around this time, Renaya is about to awaken the Immortal Spirit Talent!'

'I wonder if it will produce any visions that will attract the covetousness of certain large cultivation sects ...'

This meant that she would be able to enjoy the Immortal Spirit Talent for her entire cultivation journey!

This was the first time that Lei Ou had seen the Dao Laws of Heaven and Earth, and those Great Dao Laws that he couldn't understand were competing to drill into Renaya's brain.

'It seems like right around this time, Renaya is about to awaken the Immortal Spirit Talent!'

'I wonder if it will produce any visions that will attract the covetousness of certain great sects ...'

A sense of urgency arose in Lei Ou's heart again, he must find a safe place for Renaya to awaken!
