Slaying Demons Starts with Spending Money

The Great Huan Dynasty has endured for eight hundred years, but demons run rampant and chaos is everywhere.

In Wanli County, Li Cheng'en, a low-ranking officer in the Demon-Slaying Bureau, bursts onto the scene.

In other people's eyes, he's a miser, a skinflint, and a man who always demands more money.

But to demons, he's a terrifying monster of a man.

Li Cheng'en: “Brother Tiger, I'm a little short on cash lately. Mind lending me a few silver coins?”

Tiger Demon: “I'm just a tiger demon! I don't have any money to lend you.”

Li Cheng'en: “Then lend me your tiger head, pelt, fangs, claws, and... tiger whip.”

Tiger Demon: “...”

Li Cheng'en: “Brother, you who cultivate demonic arts, hold on a moment. Could you lend me some silver?”

Demon Lord: “You say one thing and make me question my entire existence. Which of us is the demon lord here, you or me?”

Li Cheng'en: “You make your living through dirty dealings. What's wrong with me taking a little for myself?”

Demon Lord: “Fine, fine! No one's ever tried robbing me before. If you've got the nerve, come and take it!”

Li Cheng'en: “Well, as it happens, I've just learned a few new tricks. Let's give them a try. I have a move that can slay a Demon God!”

The people of Great Huan have suffered from demons for far too long. But who will do something about Li Cheng'en, the man who always demands more money?
