Chapter 2 - She's just a poor little girl

"Oh... My God?!" Leo's eyes widened, and he was undoubtedly stunned by the name! (Renaia?!) How come this little girl has the same name as the Saint Gate Empress!

(Looking at Renaia's dirty little face)

Leo pretended to be calm. He remembered the comprehensive investigation of the Saint Gate Empress Renaia in his previous life. The data showed that the empress was indeed born in the slums of the imperial capital of the Nanhe Divine Kingdom...

He asked again, "Little sister, how old are you this year?"

"Six years old." Renaia said timidly.

Confirmed! The Saint Gate Empress is indeed nine years younger than him! The name, origin, and age are all right!

Who would have thought that the empress who killed him in his previous life would come to his door like this?

But Leo, who was reborn, could not raise any hatred for the little girl in front of him. Because everything has not started yet, he has not yet embarked on the immortal path, and the pitiful little girl in front of him is definitely not a bloodthirsty demon.

To put it bluntly, everything is a position, and they are not enemies now. In the end, it was only the leader of the alliance, Yani. Thinking of this, an idea brewed in Leo's mind...

"Little cutie, where is your grandfather? I will help you bury him."

Renaia showed a grateful look in her tearful eyes, looked up at Leo, and smiled. (Although her face was dirty, she was still very cute!)

She turned and walked to the street. After walking a few steps, she had to look back to see if Leo had caught up.

Looking at the little Renaia walking in front, Leo really couldn't imagine that this pitiful and cute little girl would be the peerless empress who would dominate the world in the future.

Renaia, the empress of the Holy Gate, can be said to be the strongest legend of that era. Her limelight is hard to be overshadowed by Yani, the leader of the Lord of the Justice League, and Leo, who has a demonic talent! Possessing the gift of immortal spirits, she was born for the cultivation of Taoism, and resonated with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which was stronger than Leo's dual cultivation talent! With absolute strength and cruel means, she unified the Holy Gate and built a huge palace in the Hanxuan Mountain in the far north. There was a faint tendency to compete with the Justice League! After a long investigation, ambush, and trickery, the Justice League finally launched an attack on the Holy Gate!

Even so, when besieging Reinaya, Yani led a group of Justice League elites, but still could not easily defeat them! They did not even dare to resist Reinaya's desperate attack alone. At that time, Leo speculated that Reinaya's realm was likely to break through the Heavenly Immortal Realm and enter the Saint Realm, becoming a Taoist practitioner in the Immortal Saint Realm that was hard to come by in tens of thousands of years on the Lingwu Continent! But the siege led by Yani changed everything and killed Leo and Reinaya, a pair of geniuses with unlimited future prospects.

Reinaya took Leo through the irregular and dilapidated streets of the slums and came to a corner that could barely shelter from the wind. In the corner, there was a pile of rags.

"Grandpa is here."

Renaia said softly, and her voice couldn't help but tremble again.

Leo's heart moved, and he walked forward and lifted the pile of rags. Sure enough, there was an old man curled up inside, and he had no breath of life.

"Brother, I beg you, please help my grandpa." Renaia said softly in a crying voice.

She didn't know how many people she had asked, but those people either refused directly or came here and saw her grandpa's dirty body and were unwilling to help.

Seeing that Leo was willing to go forward and take a look at his grandfather, Renaia felt a ray of hope in her heart.

"Don't be afraid, I will help you." Leo turned around and said, gently touching Renaia's little head.

This time, she didn't dodge.

"Where do you want your grandpa to be buried?"

"I don't know..." Renaia shook her head. They didn't have land, and she didn't want her grandpa to live in a mass grave.

"Grandpa and I were always cold when he was alive. This time, I want him to be warmer..."

Leo nodded in understanding.

Not long after, a bonfire was lit at night beside the official road outside the city. Two figures, one big and one small, stood by the bonfire, watching silently.

Leo wanted to ask Renaia how her grandfather died, but Renaia just shed tears and shook her head silently. It seems that the little girl can't accept it for a while and doesn't want to recall it. The flames gradually died down, and Renaia's crying gradually stopped.

"Renaia, what are you going to do in the future?" Leo squatted down and wiped Renaia's tears.

(Renaia cried too many times today. Under the washing of tears, the dirt on her face was washed away. Revealing her fair and round face, delicate and cute facial features. Sure enough, she has some similarities with the beautiful face of the female devil five hundred years later.)

But now, Renaia's eyes are dull, as if she has lost her soul in crying.

Hearing Leo's words, she shook her head woodenly.

"Grandpa told me to find a rich family to be a maid..."

Leo's heart exploded when he heard this. Let the future Queen of the Holy Gate be a maid? How could someone have such a hard life.

"Then, do you want to be a maid?"

Renaia shook her head silently again.

(Leo looked at Renaia's pitiful and helpless look, and his heart softened a little.)

"Renaia, listen to me." He gently shook Renaia's shoulders, and Renaia's little head, which was still looking at the fire, turned around.

"My name is Leo." He said in a very gentle tone.

"Like you, I am also an orphan. My parents died a long time ago while fleeing from famine."

"Like Reinaya's grandfather, they died to protect me."

"Since then, I have experienced a lot and done a lot of things just to survive. So I also know how difficult it is for a person to survive in this world."

Leo's words attracted Reinaya's attention. Her eyes were no longer numb, but had a little light, and she looked at Leo seriously.

"If you think I am a good person, I am willing to adopt you, be your brother, and protect you like your grandfather. In the future, I will not let you go hungry if I have a bite to eat." Leo grabbed Reinaya's small shoulders and looked into her watery eyes.

In the dark night, the burning fire cast a warm and dim light on their faces. Looking at the surprised look on Reinaya's tender face, Leo was actually unsure.

I don't know if Reinaya will agree. But looking at her thin and frail little figure, the strength tempered by suffering and wandering, and the fragility and helplessness hidden underneath, Leo really felt distressed. What's more, the little girl in front of him will become a peerless empress who will stir up the entire Central Continent in the future!

Two rare cultivation demons in ten thousand years, this time they don't oppose each other, but stand together...what will happen?

Renaia looked at Leo's handsome and friendly face, thought for a while, and nodded.

"Brother... is a good man."

"Then are you willing to follow brother?"

"... yes." Renaia's eyes lit up with a long-lost light, a little shy, and said softly.

Leo smiled and opened his arms, and Renaia was obediently taken into his arms.

Not long after, Leo held Renaia back home. Leo's home, except for a bed, there was no decent furniture.

Renaia sat on the bed, curiously looking at the walls that were leaking everywhere, without any disgust on her face. After all, she hadn't lived in a house for a long time! Leo washed her face and fed her some food. Renaia's face was flushed, and she blinked her big eyes, watching Leo feeding her spoonful by spoonful. There was no longer the cold and defensive look in her eyes, and her little feet couldn't help swinging back and forth.

"Renaia, eat more, you won't be cold at night if you are full."

"In a few days, we will leave this place, and brother will change you a big house with a leak-proof roof, okay?"

Renaia nodded obediently, which made Leo like her even more. After dinner, Renaia lay on the bed and fell asleep. She wanted to wait for Leo to go to bed and sleep together, but the little girl was too tired today, and her eyelids fought after a while, and she made a uniform breathing sound.

Leo sat on the ground and began to examine his body. With the experience of practicing Taoism in his previous life, Leo made up his mind that he must work harder in this life to achieve a higher realm!

"Once the Chaos Talent awakens, it will frantically absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth and use it for its own benefit without refining it."

"This is also the reason why it is called a defeated body. Not only does it awaken late, but there is also the danger of going astray in cultivation."

Leo, who has lived a new life, is well aware of his talent, unlike the panic when he first awakened in his previous life. At that time, he had just awakened and felt a trace of spiritual power in his body, and he jumped three feet high in excitement.

He immediately ran to the city and worshipped the local cultivation sect (Zhenyuan Sect) in the dojo, and embarked on the path of cultivation. This may also be why he did not meet Renaia in his previous life.

Now, with the experience of his previous life and the skills in his memory, he can already master his talent very well.

"Ten years later, my talent for fragrance and charm will also awaken, and I can achieve a faster training speed than my peers through dual cultivation."

"I didn't understand it at that time, but now, I can completely master my talent, not waste a bit of time, and even become stronger!"

"Yani, let's see who will become the first in the Zhongzhou Continent Tianjiao List in this life!"

In the previous life, Yani started practicing Taoism 20 years earlier than him, and became the first Zhongzhou Continent in that century! So it was natural for her to become the leader candidate of the Justice League, and later succeeded in taking the position.

In this life, although Leo will not join the Justice League, he must find Yani and complete his revenge!

As for the immortal art practiced in this life, Leo had already thought about it. "Wutian Huari Gong!"

Wutian Huari Gong is the inheritance of the immortal emperor-level power that he accidentally obtained in a certain relic in his previous life! This set of exercises can perfectly utilize Leo's chaotic talent, and will indiscriminately and roughly absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and refine it into the stars of the universe in the body with a more brutal force! From 360 stars to 240 bright moons, when you reach the ultimate state, you can even cultivate 99 scorching suns in your body, which is extremely powerful! However, when I got this technique in my previous life, I was already a martial god in the Tongxuan realm, so I practiced it a little late. In the end, I only cultivated the power of 12 scorching suns.

It was late at night, and listening to the breathing of Renaia sleeping behind him, Leo practiced the Wutian Huari Gong. "I remember that after awakening the chaos talent in my previous life, my body was automatically tempered to the Famai realm in less than three days. That is, the peak realm of warriors." Leo clenched his fists and felt the power in his body.

At this moment, the door was suddenly smashed very roughly, and someone shouted and cursed. Leo was about to get up, but the wooden door was directly knocked open. Several tattooed gangsters squeezed into Leo's house with arrogant momentum.

"Fuck, this kid is actually alive." A thug shouted in surprise.

"Fuck, he fainted and didn't eat for three days, but he's still alive?!"

Leo immediately understood that these people were here to collect his body.

They said they were collecting his body, but in fact they just threw his body into a mass grave and let people who paid more money move in.

But now, Leo is awake.

The Black Tiger Gang has always been inhumane, and they ruthlessly exploited and oppressed the poor people in the slums who already had nothing.

God knows how they will beat him.
