The first thing I saw was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing four copper coins on his belt, who walked in with a smile.

"Haha, no wonder my eyelids were twitching all day. Turns out there were two monsters waiting for me to catch them!"

Huo Xiaolan was no stranger to the middle-aged man who walked in.

This man is named Luo Gang. He is one of the best among the Four Masters of Heaven, and is notoriously greedy for money.

In the past, many of the monsters that Huo Xiaolan captured were stolen by Luo Gang.

If the other party hadn't been a Four-Coin Celestial Master, whom she couldn't possibly defeat, Huo Xiaolan would have already taken action and tormented him.

Huo Xiaolan's face darkened, and she could only argue loudly, "Luo Gang, you're being unethical! I clearly caught those two demons!"

"Moral principles!"

Luo Gang, with his thick eyebrows and large eyes, bears a striking resemblance to Jiang Wen. He firmly stated, "Of course, morality is important, but I only talk the talk, not walk the walk!"

"Luo Gang, you..."

Huo Xiaolan wanted to say something, but Luo Gang simply made a face, took his loot, and swaggered out.

Seeing Luo Gang run away, Huo Xiaolan was both angry and furious, and stomped her foot hard.

At that moment, the large basket, which no one except Leon had paid attention to, visibly shook.

"W-what!"

Seeing the basket startle on its own, Song Tianyin, who had been hiding behind the table, was startled.

The next second, Huo Xiaolan had just turned her head when she saw a monster rush out of the basket. As it fled outside, it spat at Song Tianyin.

"evildoer!"

Seeing that it was yet another monster, Huo Xiaolan, who had worked hard but gained nothing, rushed up to catch the monster without thinking.

Meanwhile, Leon, who kept his head down and drank tea, was completely unnoticed.

Just as Huo Xiaolan was about to rush out, he let out a soft snort and slammed his right hand on the table.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the tables, chairs, and benches in the teahouse all flew into the air at the same time, blocking Huo Xiaolan's only way out.

Blocked by the sudden appearance of the table and chairs, Huo Xiaolan narrowed her eyes slightly and muttered, "Heh, keeping a low profile, who's this expert?!"

Hearing Huo Xiaolan's chuckle, Leon smiled and said:

"Keep a low profile..."

Chapter 230, A Wise Choice. (Fourth update, please subscribe and give flowers.)

"This guy is definitely not as simple as he looks..."

Huo Xiaolan slowly turned around, squinting as she looked at Leon again. His refined, scholarly air made it impossible to associate him with those peerless masters.

"You want to stop me? Are you perhaps an accomplice of a demon?!"

Huo Xiaolan spoke slowly and deliberately, tugging at her long red whip as she spoke, as if she were ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

No, you've misunderstood.

Leon glanced at Huo Xiaolan's cold gaze, nonchalantly flicked his finger twice on the teacup, and said:

"Actually, you should thank me, otherwise you wouldn't even know how you died!"

"I'll die? You're kidding me!"

When Huo Xiaolan acts arrogant, she gives off a very cute vibe.

Leon shook his head slightly, inwardly sighing at his recklessness, before finally speaking, "The one who ran away was the old demon king's demon queen!"

"Old Demon King!" Huo Xiaolan was clearly taken aback upon hearing the words "Demon King."

What is a Demon King? He is a genuine Level 6 Great Demon, corresponding to the level of a Six-Coin Celestial Master.

In the human world, figures like the Six-Coin Celestial Master are all prefecture-level officials, holding high positions and wielding great power.

In the world of demons, a level six demon king is also a powerful figure, with each of them commanding tens of thousands of lesser demons, living a carefree and domineering life.

"How could a level six demon king's queen have come to human territory and be fleeing in such a sorry state right in front of us! No, you're definitely lying to me, take this!"

Huo Xiaolan didn't believe Leon's words at all. She flicked her long whip and lashed it out to wrap around Leon.

Seeing that Huo Xiaolan didn't believe him, Leon stopped explaining and simply pointed at her.

The next moment, a burning fireball instantly condensed from Leon's fingertip and hurtled towards Huo Xiaolan's whip.

Snapped……

With a lash of the whip, the fireball was instantly dispersed and vanished without a trace.

"Sorcery!" Huo Xiaolan shouted coldly and attacked again.

"Ice Vine".

Leon stopped using the Flame-Flame Fruit's power and simply slammed his hand on the table.

Then, icy vines emanating a chilling aura rapidly extended from the seats, transforming into ice snakes that swept outwards.

Seeing the ice vines strangling towards her, Huo Xiaolan had never seen such magic before, and her expression changed drastically. For a moment, she felt somewhat helpless.

but,

The long whip in Huo Xiaolan's hand was incredibly powerful, and it was also Huo Xiaolan's signature weapon. When she lashed out, it was as fierce as a tiger.

With a deafening roar, the ice vines were shattered, and even more ice vines pressed down upon them.

After a short while, thanks to the presence of Leon, the spellcaster, the entire teahouse turned into a silver world.

Huo Xiaolan finally felt the chill that made her shiver.

But this guy didn't back down.

He continued to wield the long whip, but the more he struck, the more powerless he became, and before long he was already panting heavily.

The cold weather, coupled with the excessive physical exertion, meant that even a second-rate Taoist master like Huo Xiaolan would be defeated.

"Stop! With your strength, Master Erqian, you're no match for me!"

Leon waved his hand, scattering the ice vines and turning all the ice in the teahouse into countless ice crystals that vanished into the sky.

Leon studies magic, which has nothing to do with the spells in Monster Hunt.

However, power is always equal. Given Leon's strength as one of the Ten Wizard Saints in Fairy Tail, if we convert it to the level of a Celestial Master in the world of Monster Hunt, he should be in the range of a Celestial Master of the fifth or sixth rank.

Huo Xiaolan, a mere two-qian Celestial Master with the strength of a three-qian Celestial Master, is no match for Leon, a Celestial Master with the strength of a five- or six-qian Celestial Master. It's like a firefly trying to fight the moon; she's overestimating herself.

If Leon really wanted to kill, let alone Huo Xiaolan, even if Luo Gang were here, the two of them together would still be no match for Leon.

"Hmph, if I hadn't exhausted so much energy catching demons earlier, I would have beaten you down long ago!"

"I can lose the battle stance, but I can't lose the spirit," Huo Xiaolan patted her chest, striking a pose that showed she wasn't afraid of anyone.

Seeing her like this, Leon smiled but chose not to point it out. Instead, he gently waved his hand.

"You're right. Here's a big business opportunity I have. Do you want to do it?"

After saying that, Leon gave a meaningful look, as if to show off that he was trying to cover up his mistake.

"What big business?"

Upon hearing that there was a big business opportunity, Huo Xiaolan, the penniless Taoist priest, couldn't resist and rushed over with her eyes gleaming with greed.

Leon tapped the table lightly and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them:

"I have a business opportunity, a big deal, and I need some help. Price is not a problem!"

"Price isn't the issue; the issue is, how much are you willing to pay!"

Huo Xiaolan frowned slightly. As a second-class Taoist priest, she usually relied on catching demons to supplement her family's income, and also took on some odd jobs.

"This number!"

Leon smiled calmly, slowly extended his hand, raised his index finger, and waved it at Huo Xiaolan.

"One tael of silver?"

"Are you stupid? Go higher."

"Twelve?"

"No, go higher..."

"One hundred taels!"

“Foolish, I already said it’s a big deal.”

"Could it be a thousand taels!?"

Seeing Leon nod in satisfaction,

Huo Xiaolan gasped and began to calculate with her fingers.

"A level one monster is worth a few dozen coins, a level two monster is worth a dozen taels of silver. A level three monster is worth no more than thirty taels, a level four monster is worth eighty taels, and a level five monster is worth three or four hundred taels of silver!"

"There are so many more than level five monsters! This is a huge deal, a truly enormous deal!"
