Chapter 2 - Lee Tao

Having drifted in the void for countless years, Lee Tao forgot how long he had been stuck in the darkness.

"Goddamn it, when will my body find a suitable person to reincarnate into?" Lee Tao cursed as he waited for the reincarnation cycle to hit him.

Although he was knocked out and unconscious, the necklace that he had received from Tian Meifen had kept him informed about what was happening in the real world.

How was a necklace able to help Lee Tao communicate you ask?

Even if no one asked, it was obvious that the necklace was a lovely loli girl that granted Lee Tao a system.

"Xiao Chu, how much longer do I have to wait?" Lee Tao asked.

Xiao Chu was the lovely loli girl that Lee Tao named as soon as she appeared in front of him when he regained consciousness.

Xiao Chu shook her head.

"Xiao Chu does not know how long." She then said.

"Ugh, I will definitely punish Tian Meifen even though she did it for my own good." Lee Tao complained as he continued drifting in the void.

Beep!

Xiao Chu's eyes turned red and suddenly curled her lips upward as she looked excitedly at Lee Tao.

"Lee Tao, I just received a notification that you are going to be reincarnated in a newborn's body." Xiao Chu shouted.

Lee Tao gazed at Xiao Chu in jubilant. "Am I really going to reincarnate now?"

"Un, the location has been given to me already." Xiao Chu replied. "It's located in the First Heaven."

Lee Tao held a dumbfounded expression as he clenched his fist. "Whatever, First Heaven or not, it's better than being stuck in the void for countless years without knowing day or night."

"Does that mean Lee Tao accepts the reincarnation cycle?" Xiao Chu asked.

"Of course."

"Please close your eyes as Xiao Chu will now implement the system into your newborn body."

Lee Tao nodded his head as he closed his eyes.

Xiao Chu took a few moments before flickering her hand and imprinted the necklace into Lee Tao's body.

Afterward, she injected herself into Lee Tao's body and shouted, "Begin the Reincarnation Cycle."

Swooosh!

Lee Tao zoomed out of the void at an incredibly fast speed and before he knew it, Lee Tao was already in the womb of a woman.

"Madam Liu, please push harder, the baby is almost out." A middle-aged woman said as she helped Madam Liu with the delivery.

"ARGH."

Madam Liu shouted in pain as she made one final push and the baby soon popped out.

The middle-aged woman quickly wrapped a towel around the baby and smiled happily at Madam Liu. "Congratulations Madam Liu, it's a baby boy."

Madam Liu gave a blissful smile before extending her hands- her intention was clear.

The middle-aged woman carefully handed the baby over to Madam Liu who gently cradled and embraced the baby.

"Have you thought of a name, Madam Liu?" The middle-aged woman asked.

Madam Liu nodded her head.

"From now on, this baby will be called Lee Tao."

3 years later, Lee Tao could be seen running around as multiple servants tried to catch him.

"Young master, please stop running around." A servant begged in panic.

Lee Tao ignored the servant as he stuck his tongue out. "Ajhdbaaslkqwe"

'Damn it, I still can't speak correctly.' Lee Tao cursed inwardly as he could only produce gibberish from his newborn baby.

As Lee Tao tried to escape from the servant, he was suddenly picked up by someone.

"Naughty boy, why are you making a mess around?" Madam Liu asked kindly.

"Asjkdnsakjas" Lee Tao tried to tell her to release him go but alas, it was futile.

No one could understand what he was trying to tell as he was carried over to a study room.

"Little Tao, one must study hard to become successful in life." Madam Liu said as she placed Lee Tao down on her lap.

Lee Tao grumpily sat down in annoyance as he started communicating with Xiao Chu mentally.

"Xiao Chu, hurry up and make me grow into an adult already." Lee Tao complained as he had enough of being treated like a kid.

"No can do." Xiao Chu flat-out refused his request.

"Xiao Chu, aren't you a system in the form of a loli girl?" Lee Tao scoffed as he pressured her. "Shouldn't the system be assisting the host?"

"You're not my true host so you can't really order me." Xiao Chu said.

"Just you wait Xiao Chu. For that word of yours today, I will make sure to harness all of your profound qi." Lee Tao threatened.

Alas, Xiao Chu had stopped communicating with him and Lee Tao had no choice but to listen to his mother reading a book.

Lee Tao continued to spend the next 12 years being homeschooled by Madam Liu.

However, it was clear that the attention and care toward Lee Tao had lessened when they found out he could not cultivate at all.

During the age of 15, everyone would be eligible to be tested for their spiritual root to determine their talent in cultivation.

When it was Lee Tao's age of ceremony, he had been tested and was deemed useless by the world as he had no spiritual root.

Usually, this would mean the end of everyone but Lee Tao wasn't surprised by such a result.

After all, he was never able to cultivate and had been harnessing other cultivators to improve himself.

Lee Tao was glad that no one bothered to care about him as he slowly strolled around to his study room.

"Listen, Liu Ying, Lee Tao could not cultivate so why can't you give me another offspring."

"Why are you disregarding Lee Tao when he's your son?"

Lee Tao stood outside the door and heard his mother, Liu Ying, arguing with his father, Lee Longwei.

He opened the door and the argument stopped between his mother and father.

"Haven't you had enough of this argument already?" Lee Tao said as he walked toward his desk and sat with his legs crossed.

"Just divorce already."
