"Now I can finally embark on my path to become powerful and not be super op from the start."
"Nerfing yourself so that you can experience what it feels like to become the strongest from a weakling. If any protagonists heard you, they might die due to cursing you." Aria scoffed.
"I am nerfing myself so I can share their pain. Why would they curse me?"
"Let me see what Xinyi gave me yesterday"
"Sara scan everything in the storage ring"
[Scan completed]
[Pill: 100 Qi Pill, 5 Marrow cleansing Pill, 10 breakthrough Pill]
[Technique: Azura sword technique, Mountain crushing fist, Shadow step, Breathing manual]
"Both the qi and marrow cleansing Pill are 5th grade while the breakthrough Pill is 4th grade."
"Wow, she really loves you!" Aria saw Leon sighing.
She came near Li Ye and sat in his lap "Why the long face Leo"
"She's just ruined my peaceful life
." He spoke.
"But how did even meet her in the first place?" She asked while leaning her head on his chest.
"7 years ago I was staying in a small village with my grandpa. My grandpa took me to the village to help the villagers in stopping the beast tide while training me. I was roaming in the village outskirts because I was bored but suddenly I saw many beasts running towards the village. I was trying to find somewhere to hide when I saw a girl running from a wild boar." Leon spoke.
Aria then looked at Leon and asked "What happened after that?"
Leon said "I chased after her and saw that she was backed into a corner by the boar. She was trembling from fear but as the boar was about to attack her I killed the boar with my sword."
"After killing the boar I reached out to her and she started crying while hugging me tightly. After that, I took her to the village with me to meet with grandpa but surprisingly I met her parents. They were happy to see her safe and thanked me for saving her. Grandpa told me they were passing by the village and saw that the village was attacked by a beast tide so they wanted to help but amidst the chaos, their daughter went missing."
"Xinyi and I became good friends afterward. Grandpa told them to stay in the Li clan for some time. She always liked to play with me but alas good things never last long after 3 months they had to return to their clan but I never thought they were from the Feng clan and she is the eldest daughter of the Feng clan."
"Well get down from my lap we need to go out," Leon said to Aria.
She got down front his lap and they both went to the market.
While strolling in the market "Leo aren't you curious about my appearance?" She asked.
"No"
"Why don't you want to see your goddess's body and not a floating ball-like soul?" She asked in a sweet tone.
"You are the goddess of beauty. So you should be the most beautiful woman." Leon replied.
Aria blushed hearing him say she was beautiful.
" Ara... Leo is such a smooth talker. Do you want me to become yours truly♡?" She teased him.
"Did you forget both you and Sara are my possessions? So you don't need to be mine cuz you are already mine." Leon spoke.
"How can even think about your daughter!" She said furiously.
"You created her so she is your daughter, not mine"
"Pervert"
[Master you baka (>_<)]< p>
Leon was confused seeing their expression. Even if he has a high IQ he still can't understand women's minds.
While they were talking they suddenly heard someone shouting.
A man was shouting at a girl who looked like she was 16 while her hands were tied behind her back.
"If you say one more word I will beat you to half death." The merchant said to the girl.
"I will kill you the moment I am free" the girl snorted.
"I don't wanna damage my products but I need to teach you a lesson so others will know not to be like you." the merchant signaled his men.
Before the men could teach her a lesson someone spoke.
"What is going on here?" Leon said.
"Who do you think you-" The merchant's eyes shrank seeing Leon.
"I- I greet young master Ye" He spoke with respect.
His man also bowed.
Leon noticed that the girl had crimson hair and eyes. She was wearing rag clothes but her eyes showed no fear.
"What are you doing." He asked.
"Young master Ye I am just teaching a disobedient slave some manners." He spoke while shaking.
Leon then opened the girls' status.

He was surprised to see that she had the fire phoenix bloodline.
He also saw several children with her.
"Where are you taking these children" He asked.
"Young master I am talking them for the auction." The merchant replied.
Leon was looking at the children. Moat them are between 14-19 years old. He then focused his attention on the girl. The girl also started at him.
"Name your price I will buy them all," Leon told the merchant.
"20 taels of silver" the merchant spoke.
Leon stared at him with cold eyes.
The merchant felt shivers in his body.
Leon then gives a bag to the merchant "Now get out"
The merchant left with his man's.
"All of you follow me"
They all followed him in silence.
After walking for some time "What are you going do with them" Aria asked.
"I will make that girl my personal maid and for the rest of them I will give them some work in the Li clan," Leon replied.
He was talking with Aria about what to do with these children but behind him, the girl with crimson hair and eyes was observing him.
'Who is he, that merchant basted was very respectful towards him and called him young master. What is he gonna do with us.' Yanmei thought.
