Leon remained unmoved and simply lowered his head to eat.

On the other hand, Huo Xiaolan was very interested because she also wanted to know what lofty ideals the direct descendants of the Celestial Master Song family had.

"Tell me about it..." Huo Xiaolan took a sip of soup and mumbled.

"My first ideal job, of course, is cooking and sewing! Haha, you'd never guess!"

"puff..."

Upon hearing such a noble first ideal, Huo Xiaolan spat out a mouthful of soup.

Opening a sewing shop inside a teahouse—it's unbelievable that they could even bring themselves to say such an ideal.

It's important to understand that the reason why a family of celestial masters is called a family of celestial masters is because every generation of disciples has always been a celestial master.

One can imagine what would happen if Song Tianyin's ideal, as a direct descendant of the Song family, were to become known.

I'm afraid that the first thing the Song family's ancestors, buried under the yellow earth, would do is ask the King of Hell for leave, and then break the legs of this unfilial descendant.

"What's wrong? Isn't this ideal noble?"

"Noble? How is it not noble? Enough said, let's eat, let's eat..."

Huo Xiaolan didn't want to talk to Song Tianyin anymore and buried her head in eating her noodles.

Chapter 232, Great! I love trading! (Second update, please help!)

The starry sky is brilliant, the breeze is gentle, the summer night is refreshing, I listen to the croaking of frogs and the chirping of insects in the pond, and gaze at the star-studded night sky.

The sky wasn't pure black, but rather a deep, boundless blue tinged with black, stretching far, far into the distance.

After meal.

Leon leaned against the entrance of the teahouse, the candlelight inside casting a captivating glow on his profile.

He looked into the distance, and suddenly, with a flick of his wrist, he picked up a book that exuded an ancient aura and began to read it.

Beside him was Huo Xiaolan, who looked bored and was sighing, and Song Tianyin, who was cleaning the teahouse.

"Gentlemen, we don't usually accommodate overnight guests here, but you two..."

Song Tianyin cleaned the teahouse and looked at Leon and his companion, who showed no intention of leaving, with a fawning smile on his face.

Leon flipped through the book, seemingly oblivious to Song Tianyin's words.

On the other side, Huo Xiaolan, who was extremely bored, rolled her eyes at Song Tianyin and said:

"What, are you afraid we won't pay? Go clean the room and prepare two superior rooms!"

“One room…” Leon, who had been silent all along, held up a finger as he turned the pages of his book after hearing that Huo Xiaolan wanted two rooms.

"One room, just the two of us, you're trying to take advantage of me!" Huo Xiaolan crossed her arms, looking at Leon with an expression that said, "Look at a pervert."

Leon didn't care at all about Huo Xiaolan's opinion of him, and without thinking, he said:

"The Demon Queen will definitely come knocking tonight. Go and stay with Song Tianyin. I'll be in the next room, ready to assist you at any time."

"Then why don't you go? You're stronger than me, wouldn't that be better?" Huo Xiaolan disagreed a thousand times, completely lacking the awareness of someone in a movie who would voluntarily move into Song Tianyin's room.

Actually, it's not surprising that Huo Xiaolan thinks this way, but times have changed.

In the original storyline, Huo Xiaolan was single, and in order to protect Song Tianyin's safety, she had no choice but to share a room with him.

Now that Leon, a grown man, has appeared, and is even stronger than herself, Huo Xiaolan has no intention of causing trouble.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean the empress is coming to our door? I don't understand!"

During the argument between Leon and Song Tianyin, Song Tianyin, one of the parties involved, couldn't help but ask a question.

Upon hearing Song Tianyin's question, Huo Xiaolan raised an eyebrow and said in a threatening tone:

"Do you remember that monster that ran away spat on you before it escaped?"

Song Tianyin nodded repeatedly and asked, "Of course I remember, is there a problem?"

"This is a big problem. The monster spat on you, which means she's taken a liking to you. With that saliva as a mark, you're a guiding light in her eyes. She'll definitely come looking for you tonight. Aren't you scared?"

As Huo Xiaolan spoke, she made a face, but unfortunately, it was more cute than intimidating.

However, even though Huo Xiaolan's ghostly face wasn't scary, Song Tianyin still felt uneasy thinking that he had been targeted by the Demon Queen.

"Alright, what's the point of scaring him?"

Leon interrupted Huo Xiaolan's playful antics and spoke directly:

"You can sleep in Song Tianyin's room tonight and just play it by ear. I will be there to support you from the shadows, but I won't help you unless there's a threat to your safety."

After saying that, Leon absentmindedly flipped through the book in his hand.

Huo Xiaolan pouted, still unconvinced. Seeing that Leon was truly ignoring her, she tried to make conversation:

"Hey, what are you looking at? You've been looking at it for so long!"

Leon did not answer. Instead, he closed the ancient book when he saw Huo Xiaolan approaching, giving her no chance to peek.

"So mysterious, is it really that precious?"

Huo Xiaolan gave a disdainful sneer, while Leon shook his head and whispered:

"If it's seen, it won't be mysterious anymore. Why don't you take out the talisman you used today, and we can exchange them and study them!"

"exchange!?"

Upon hearing the word "exchange," Song Tianyin couldn't help but steal glances repeatedly, while Huo Xiaolan was somewhat exasperated:

"You're asking for a trade right off the bat. It's just a tattered book, you won't even let me take a look at it? You have no humanity at all!"

Don't say that!

Leon waved his hands repeatedly, interrupting:

"This book can broaden your knowledge, values, and outlook on life; it's a divine book. Tell me, are you in or not? We can exchange one night of your time. I'll study your talismans, and you can study this book."

"You cheapskate, why don't you just die!"

Huo Xiaolan cursed Leon under her breath, and sullenly took out two talismans with different handwriting from her bosom.

One talisman was inscribed with the character "定" (determined), and another with the character "雷" (thunder).

Huo Xiaolan tossed two talismans that occasionally shimmered with golden light onto the table, then extended her hand to Leon:

"Let's make a trade. I want to see what's written in this lousy book of yours!"

"Great! I love trading."

Leon closed the book, slammed it on the table, and then picked up the two talismans Huo Xiaolan had given him.

Holding the two talismans in my hand, I felt that they were somewhat rough in texture, but they contained a power that could not affect humans in the slightest.

Leon carefully observed the talisman, especially noticing the patterns woven from the threads on its back, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"What are the threads on this talisman made of?" Leon asked Huo Xiaolan without looking up as he studied it.

Huo Xiaolan rolled her eyes and said irritably:

"It's from the fur of demonic beasts. The higher the quality of the beast's fur, the more effective the talisman will be. Don't ask me why, that's what everyone says. I don't know anything else."

After explaining, Huo Xiaolan followed Leon's example and sat down in a chair, flipping through the ancient book.

But before she could even turn a few pages, Huo Xiaolan's face grew increasingly dark, and the veins on her forehead bulged out.

"What the hell is this? What are all these characters? I can't understand a single one of them!"

Huo Xiaolan flipped through several pages in a row, almost driving herself crazy. A feeling of being deceived welled up inside her.

"You lousy book, you lied to me!"

Huo Xiaolan was a woman of action; without saying a word, she rolled up the book and was about to throw it outside.

Seeing this, Leon didn't hesitate and cast an ice spell, freezing the book and Huo Xiaolan's arm together.

He walked towards Huo Xiaolan, shattered the ice crystals, and took the book back.

Holding the book in his hand, Leon patted it twice on the ground, waved it at Huo Xiaolan, and laughed:

"You're useless yourself, you can't even read the words on it, how can you blame me?!"

"Hmph!" Huo Xiaolan snorted coldly.

"I'm sad, let's go back to our room and sleep!"

Huo Xiaolan left with a dark expression, and before leaving, she also pulled Song Tianyin, who needed protection, away with her.

Watching the two figures disappear, Leon flipped his hand, the ancient book vanishing, and said without even looking up:

"Be careful tonight. The Demon Queen won't harm Song Tianyin, but the demons who stand against her won't let this kid live."

"understood!"

Huo Xiaolan responded coldly, then slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

"This girl has small breasts, but quite a temper!"

Leon shook his head and looked up at the moonlight outside the window.
