Fairy Tail: I Am the God
Page 175
She didn't realize it until she did the math, and the results gave Huo Xiaolan a real fright.
A thousand taels of silver, how can you spend so much money? You could probably buy hundreds of acres of land and hire a whole yard of laborers and still not spend it all.
"So, are you tempted?" Looking at Huo Xiaolan, who was beaming with greed, Leon knew it was time to lay his cards on the table.
"No time like the present. I'll take this deal. Tell me what you want to do."
Huo Xiaolan slammed her hand on the table, her eyes gleaming like gold ingots, as if everything she saw was money.
Seeing this look, Leon knew that things were almost done, so he spoke:
"The demon queen who just left was pregnant and severely injured, being hunted by another demon king. Therefore, given her current physical condition, it's impossible for her to give birth to the little demon king; she can only rely on a surrogate mother!"
"You mean... surrogacy?"
Huo Xiaolan turned her gaze to Song Tianyin, who was hiding behind the table and wiping his drool with his clothes.
As the Demon Queen was leaving, Song Tianyin was spat on by her, a scent unique to demons.
If what Leon said is true, and the Demon Queen wants to use a womb to give birth, she has obviously chosen Song Tianyin's womb, and will come looking for him again later.
“My target is the Little Demon King. One thousand taels of silver, that’s my price!” Leon nodded slightly, confirming Huo Xiaolan’s guess.
Seeing Leon nod in agreement, Huo Xiaolan remained silent, pondering the gains and losses in terms of benefits.
On the one hand, it's a thousand taels of silver, which is simply irresistible.
On the other hand, the Demon Queen is being hunted down, and it's clear that her enemies won't wait for the Little Demon King to be born.
In this way, if you want to get a thousand taels of silver, you have to face off against another demon king and his demon subordinates.
One can imagine that a fierce battle will surely follow, and the demon king might even have to take action himself.
"High risk, high reward, this is a super big business opportunity, I'm going to do it!"
"Smart choice."
Leon picked up his cup again, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile.
Welcome to Fairy Tail: Rise of the Gods! Number: **.
Chapter 231, I Have Three Noble Ideals. (First Update)
The partnership was officially established.
Leon and Huo Xiaolan both looked at Song Tianyin, who was now an important figure in their partnership.
Under their gazes, Song Tianyin felt extremely uncomfortable and asked weakly, "Two great heroes, it's rather awkward for me to be looking at you like that?"
"We're hungry, let's go cook!"
Huo Xiaolan's face hardened, and she didn't give Song Tianyin a friendly look at all.
"Oh..."
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Song Tianyin had personally witnessed the scene of Leon and his companion's attack, especially Leon's magic, which made him think he was hiding in a cold cave. So he lowered his head and walked towards the kitchen.
"To put it nicely, this kid is adorably naive; to put it bluntly, he's a bit of a goofball."
Looking at Song Tianyin's adorable yet silly appearance, Huo Xiaolan was completely puzzled and asked Leon in a low voice.
Hearing this question, Leon could only shrug.
Despite his seemingly naive and silly appearance, Song Tianyin is undoubtedly the winner in the world of Monster Hunt.
He not only fell in love with Huo Xiaolan with a kiss, but also accidentally killed a level six demon king with the Song family's ancestral demon-slaying sword.
"Don't let his seemingly simple-minded appearance fool you; he comes from a family of Taoist masters, just like you."
Leon definitely wouldn't tell Huo Xiaolan these things, so he could only give a vague explanation.
"Who would believe that? He doesn't know a single spell, and he's supposed to be from a family of celestial masters?"
Huo Xiaolan looked incredulous, while Leon pointed to Song Tianyin's retreating figure and explained:
"You've misjudged this time. Song Tianyin's family has been a branch of the Celestial Masters Hall for generations."
His father was Song Daitian, a first-rank bodyguard of the Celestial Master Hall, also known as the Five-Coin Celestial Master.
His grandfather was Song Zhenjiang, the Six-Coin Celestial Master, the Governor of Xuanming Prefecture of the Celestial Masters' Hall!
"Wow, his background is so impressive!" Huo Xiaolan exclaimed in disbelief, her face filled with surprise and disbelief upon hearing Leon's explanation.
Among the families of Celestial Masters, although the Huo family is also a family of Celestial Masters, there are still distinctions of rank among them.
In the world of Monster Hunt, the Six-Coin Celestial Master is a powerful figure who reigns supreme in a prefecture, on par with the Demon King of the Demon Clan. He is far beyond the reach of a small family like the Huo family.
Huo Xiaolan found it hard to believe that Song Tianyin, as the direct descendant of the Song family, could be an ordinary person who knew nothing.
"However, I always have a feeling that the Song family's Celestial Master lineage will be destroyed because of this kid..."
Leon shrugged, giving him a "whatever" look.
"Um, I still don't know your name. And if I knew more, would I be silenced?"
Although Huo Xiaolan loved money, the more she learned, the more thorny the problem seemed to her.
The Celestial Master Hall is different from the Demon Kings. The Demon Kings in the Demon Realm are all individual entities.
Even if the Demon King himself came, he would still have to restrain himself on human territory.
But the Celestial Master Hall is different. It is a gathering place for human celestial masters, with countless talented and extraordinary people inside. Whether to kill a person or a demon is entirely up to them.
Therefore, while Huo Xiaolan was wary of a being like the Demon King, she was not afraid.
Conversely, if it were to confront the Celestial Master's Hall, Huo Xiaolan would have to think twice. She would rather face the Demon King's forces than dare to act recklessly in front of the Celestial Master's Hall.
"Look how scared you are! Didn't you say it was high risk, high reward?"
Seeing Huo Xiaolan's conflicted expression, Leon looked helpless, wondering where her usual cool and aloof demeanor as a celestial master had gone.
Hearing Leon's mockery, Huo Xiaolan blushed slightly and stammered, "..."
"Who isn't afraid? Wouldn't you be afraid if you saw a ghost?"
"Not afraid."
“…You’re awesome.”
Huo Xiaolan was somewhat embarrassed and angry, which looked quite funny.
Leon subconsciously reached out and gently rubbed Huo Xiaolan's nose, explaining:
"Don't worry, based on my deduction, the Song family and the Celestial Master Hall have a big secret, but as long as you don't get involved, you shouldn't get burned. As for your name, you can just call me Leon."
After saying that, Leon withdrew his finger and met Huo Xiaolan's shocked and angry gaze.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?" Leon was completely puzzled and couldn't help but ask Huo Xiaolan.
The next second, Huo Xiaolan looked at Leon in disbelief, like a cat with its fur standing on end: "You, you touched me!"
"I don't think so..." Leon hadn't expected Huo Xiaolan to have such a strong reaction.
Just as he was about to explain, Huo Xiaolan didn't give him the chance, but instead pounced on him with bared teeth and claws.
"You scoundrel, you dare touch me, I'll kill you!"
"Kill me, and you won't get a thousand taels of silver!"
"I don't want the money anymore, I'm going to kill you, kill you, you big scoundrel!"
Huo Xiaolan gave him a good beating, and Leon felt that their worldviews were too different, making communication really difficult.
After all, different worlds exist, and their worldviews are difficult to reconcile.
In Leon's mind, he simply couldn't help himself; seeing Huo Xiaolan's shy and demure demeanor, he just wanted to tease her.
There was nothing lewd about him here; it was more like seeing a puppy stretching and feeling an irresistible urge to pet it.
Unfortunately, in Huo Xiaolan's eyes, Leon's original intention was nothing but lewd behavior.
In broad daylight, Leon's subconscious action was simply unforgivable.
After a relentless chase, Leon couldn't take it anymore and unleashed an ice spell, freezing Huo Xiaolan for several minutes.
At this moment, Song Tianyin, who was cooking in the kitchen, came up with two bowls of hot noodles.
"Time to eat!"
Under Huo Xiaolan's angry glare, Leon took the hot noodles from Song Tianyin's hand and ate them as if no one else was there.
Although Song Tianyin lacked skill, his cooking skills were truly remarkable; a bowl of shredded pork noodles was indeed incredibly fragrant.
"Is it tasty?"
Seeing Leon enjoying his meal, Song Tianyin happily joined in and whispered:
"You wouldn't believe it, cooking is my third dream!"
"The third ideal?"
Huo Xiaolan took a bite of noodles, said "Not bad," and then asked, "So what is your second ideal?"
"Sewing!"
Song Tianyin looked smug, then, as if presenting a treasure, asked, "Do you want to know what my first ideal is?"
