Chapter 2380: Rich Landlord, Liu Ru! Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Translated by XephiZ Edited by Aelryinth An invisible creature? Mo Fan did not think so. Even if the creature was invisible, he would still have noticed strange traces of airflow while it was following them, especially if the creature was destroying the highway by force. The collapses finally stopped after half the highway was gone. The terrifying thing stopped chasing them after them. Lu Zhengxin had dried himself when he came out of the water, but he was now soaked in cold sweat. He felt like he had been playing Temple Run in real life! “Seven Star Hunter Master and the strongest young Mage my ass, I feel ashamed for you. You couldn’t even find what was chasing us!” Lu Zhengxin mocked him with a cold harrumph. “I can’t be bothered arguing with you. Where are the blood samples?” Mo Fan asked. “Where’s my car? We had a deal!” Lu Zhengxin shot back. — The car drove past the Magic City. The sky was already bright by the time they reached Kunshan. As soon as the car stopped in front of the mansion, a gray car of advanced design arrived. Inside it sat a beautiful woman with pale skin and red lips. She was wearing a long slip dress that exposed her silky-smooth shoulders. She was brimming with sexiness. “Mo Fan!” the woman inside the car smiled. She might dress like an enchanting queen, but her expression was like a teenage girl whose heart was pounding heavily at the sight of her crush. “Is this your style now? Mm, it’s not bad. You won’t mind if I give him the car, right?” Mo Fan asked her. “It doesn’t matter. I can fly quicker than the car,” Liu Ru replied. Lu Zhengxin was staring at Liu Ru after she came out of the car. “It’s you, what a coincidence!” Lu Zhengxin stammered as he greeted her. “Oh, it’s you,” Liu Ru responded emotionlessly. “I really didn’t expect to see you here again. By the way, this is my home. The mansion and these cars are all mine. Aren’t they fancy?” Lu Zhengxin immediately fawned upon Liu Ru. To his surprise, Liu Ru was already hugging Mo Fan’s arm. She had no interest in the luxurious mansion and cars. She seemed a little annoyed, as if she had many things to say to Mo Fan, but there were others around to disturb them. “The car is here, where are my blood samples?” Mo Fan asked. “What blood samples?” Liu Ru asked. Mo Fan roughly explained their trip to Pudong Airport, but he did not mention they were looking for the red demon. “Oh, Lu Zhengxin, how insensible are you? Why are you asking for a car in return when you are only doing my boss a small favor?” Liu Ru demanded to know. “He...he’s your boss?” Lu Zhengxin was shocked. “Hand over the blood samples. I’ll be keeping the car. I have enjoyed driving it recently,” Liu Ru declared. “Not a problem, whatever you say, my lady!” — Liu Ru did not go inside the mansion. She was a member of the Blood Tribe. Normally, a mansion that belonged to the Lu Clan would have some magic Formations to keep the Blood Tribe away. Liu Ru was not scared of the magic Formation since she had grown a lot stronger, but she did not like the sacred artifacts from the Western countries. She felt like she was walking into a stinky toilet. “You can stroll around first, I have something to discuss with you later,” Mo Fan told her. “Sure, I also have to collect rent from the marketplace,” Liu Ru agreed. “Since when did you become a landlord?” Mo Fan was puzzled. “Didn’t you ask me to manage the mutated species in the Magic City? The south of the marketplace belongs to the Blood Tribe, so the vendors there have to pay us rent, don’t you think?” Liu Ru reminded him. “... So, how did you know Lu Zhengxin?” Mo Fan asked instead. “Children of renowned clans like him commonly come into contact with mutated races. Lu Zhengxin brought in a young woman of the Blood Tribe from a different country. The woman almost sucked his marrow away. He was lucky that I happened to be around. I saved his life and drove the woman away,” Liu Ru informed him. Mutated races was a term used to describe certain species with half-human lineage, but who were not truly human. The Blood Tribe was a typical example. There were also other species, like the creatures that had been hiding secretly in the Sacred City for thousands of years. Some of them wore suits and owned businesses there, and had managed to perfectly disguise themselves as humans. The Sacred City had its own circle of mutant species. Bola, the vampire, used to be one of them. The Magic City had a circle of mutant species too. Liu Ru was currently in charge of the Blood Tribe here. Liu Ru had already extended her reach to Kunshan. It seemed like her influence was still growing steadily! —— Lu Zhengxin might have collected the blood samples, but they still had to be filtered and processed. Mo Fan let Lingling handle the blood samples, since she was the expert. Lu Zhengxin’s attitude toward Mo Fan changed completely after he learned Mo Fan was Liu Ru’s boss. He was willing to give Mo Fan his full assistance. That being said, Mo Fan still had to wait for the result of the blood samples. Mo Fan had called Liu Ru over because she was better at tracking down traces of blood. She could easily find the source, even if the blood traces had been around for a long time. It was already daytime, and Mo Fan was starving. He went to the kitchen to look for some food. He somehow lost his way in the huge mansion. He had no idea where he was. “How did you end up here?!” a woman half-shrieked. “I lost my way looking for the dining hall. Where are the chefs?” Mo Fan asked shamelessly. “Do you think this is a hotel that operates twenty-four hours a day?” Lu Qingyao snarled at him. She was in the garden in simple sleepwear. She seemed to be chasing after her Scottish Fold, which had gone outdoors without her permission. She had yet to dress and put on makeup. Mo Fan had to admit the woman was as beautiful as Mui Nujiao. The way she looked after she just woke up was much different from being all made-up. “What happened to your face?” Mo Fan saw after seeing Lu Qingyao’s cheek. Lu Qingyao immediately turned away and snapped, “It’s none of your business!” Lu Qingyao was angry when she recalled how she had been slapped in the face after arguing with Lu Kun. The red mark had not faded away yet. She was thinking of covering it with more foundation today, but she did not expect to stumble into someone here so early in the morning! “Let me see it,” Mo Fan went up to Lu Qingyao. “What’s there to see!?” Lu Qingyao was holding her cat in one hand while covering her face with the other. Mo Fan went closer and grabbed Lu Qingyao’s wrist to lift her hand off her face. “What are you doing? You are in the Lu Clan’s territory. Don’t you dare do anything stupid, I’m warning you!” Lu Qingyao was terrified. Lu Kun had told her to serve Mo Fan well, but he did not mean she had to offer her body to him, right? Was Mo Fan out of his mind, trying to take advantage of her here? Lu Qingyao clearly did not have Mo Fan’s strength. She struggled to shake her hand free. Mo Fan was almost sticking his face right into hers. “Did someone hit you?” Mo Fan asked her calmly. “Mm!” Lu Qingyao could not break free, but she did not dare to scream, either. She was nervous, embarrassed, and afraid. “Who was it?” Mo Fan pressed. “Ah, no one hit me, it was my cat!” Lu Qingyao shook her head as she came to her senses. She did not want Mo Fan to know she had been slapped by Lu Kun. “It’s very important. Who hit you?” Mo Fan stared firmly into Lu Qingyao’s eyes. Lu Qingyao eventually compromised, as she was just a delicate woman after all. She said softly, “It was my uncle.” “Lu Kun?” Mo Fan clarified. “Yeah.” “Lu Qingyao, I’m going to ask you a serious question. Please tell me the truth,” Mo Fan said firmly. “Hah?” Lu Qingyao panicked even more. She was joking when she asked Mo Fan to take her as a concubine. Was Mo Fan really considering the offer? The problem was... would she be Mo Fan’s fourth or fifth lover if she agreed? “Has your uncle always had six fingers?” Mo Fan asked her carefully. The handprint on Lu Qingyao’s face was very obvious. Her pale face made the handprint stand out, and it didn’t have five fingers... It had six!
