Lu Qingyao was dumbfounded.
She was having the urge to compromise and worry about how she should compete with Mui Nujiao when Mo Fan’s question blindsided her.
It was like a woman had accepted her fate, despite being reluctant at first. Her body was already ready as she was about to close her eyes and enjoy the process, but the man suddenly asked her how many fingers her uncle had.
Anyone would go crazy when they heard the question!
“What six fingers? Are…are you crazy?” Lu Qingyao shoved Mo Fan away.
She was feeling great shame. She was humiliated both physically and mentally!
“Take a look yourself.”
Mo Fan grabbed at the air and pulled a small mirror from her room. It flew accurately into his hand.
Mo Fan held the mirror in front of Lu Qingyao so she could see her face.
Lu Qingyao had gone right to bed after removing her makeup, and did not take a close look at her face. The handprint was not that obvious when she had makeup on.
To her surprise, the handprint was clearer than she had thought. There were clearly five fingers…
No, not five! There were six!
The hand had six fingers!
Normally, the pinky was beside the ring finger, but the hand had an extra finger between the ring finger and the pinky, extending between them!
Since Lu Qingyao’s face was relatively small, the print of the last finger had reached below her ear. It was hard to notice unless someone was looking at it closely!
My Heavens, why would anyone have six fingers?
She never heard anything about her uncle being born with six fingers!
“This…this…” Lu Qingyao was left speechless.
“Does it belong to Lu Kun? It’s his hand, right?” Mo Fan asked her again.
“Yes, but…” Lu Qingyao was confused.
“Was he born with six fingers?” Mo Fan pressed.
Lu Qingyao immediately shook her head. She had never heard anything about it.
Anzark, who was dressed in a white robe, passed by the corridor above them. He glanced at Mo Fan and Lu Qingyao.
“Miss Lu, did something happen?” Anzark asked.
“It’s…it’s nothing!” Lu Qingyao’s mind was in a mess.
“Let’s talk in your room. I’ll set up a Barrier,” Mo Fan said firmly.
Mo Fan suddenly recalled Lu Kun’s ability to be able to read a person’s mind at a close distance. He was worried Lu Kun might be eavesdropping on the conversation between him and Lu Qingyao.
Mo Fan blatantly swept up Lu Qingyao in his arms, like he was going to do something shameless inside her room.
Anzark’s expression darkened when he saw them.
How bold of this Mo Fan to steal away my prey…
“Humph, turns out she’s just a b**ch that sleeps with any man she sees,” Anzark scoffed jealously.

Lu Qingyao started struggling before they made it to her room. She was blaming Mo Fan for ruining her reputation.
“Listen, if there’s something fishy about your uncle, your reputation isn’t going to mean anything, since I’m going to kill your whole clan!” Mo Fan promised her grimly.
Lu Qingyao almost burst into tears. He was scolding her even when he was treating her roughly!
“Do you have old pictures of your uncle? At least five years ago, with his hands exposed,” Mo Fan said.
“I think so, but they were taken a long time ago…” Lu Qingyao began searching her laptop.
It took her some time to find the pictures.
—
“I think this was five years ago.” Lu Qingyao slowly realized that their clan had not taken a photo together for a long time.
Mo Fan took a quick look and noticed a tinier version of Lu Qingyao in the first row. She was around the age of fifteen. She looked a lot more adorable then than she was now.
She looked more like an alluring vixen now. He wondered where she had learned it from.
Mo Fan enlarged the photo with the scroll.
Lu Kun was in the middle row beside Lu Yilin and Lu Zhantian. They seemed close in the photograph.
“One, two, three, four, five…” Lu Qingyao counted seriously.
Five.
The hand only had five fingers.
There was no sign of the sixth!
“Do you have any later pictures of him?” Mo Fan asked coolly.
Lu Qingyao quickly found some photographs of Lu Kun taken with some business partners.
She checked the photos and was shocked to see Lu Kun was wearing long-sleeves and Tang suits in all of them. The sleeves were long enough to cover his fingers!
Almost every photo was the same, and he was wearing gloves in some of them, too!
If Mo Fan had not brought it up, Lu Qingyao would never have noticed it.
“Did my uncle grow an extra finger over the years?” Lu Qingyao exclaimed in alarm.
“Humph, it’s difficult to say if he’s still your uncle,” Mo Fan replied coldly.
“What do you mean?!”
“All I can tell you is there’s a demon with six fingers or six toes,” Mo Fan answered her.
“But you can’t assume there’s something wrong with my uncle just because of that!” Lu Qingyao protested.
“It’s too much of a coincidence,” Mo Fan declared.
Normally, Mo Fan would not care how many fingers Lu Kun had.
However, he had found out Lu Kun had six fingers just after they had learned the trait of the red demon through the claw marks it had left behind!
“What kind of a demon is it?” Lu Qingyao was still doubtful.
Her uncle seemed perfectly normal. Could a demon disguise itself as a human? Besides, even if the demon had the ability to transform into a human, how did it mimic Lu Kun’s behaviors, personality, memory, and habits?
Lu Qingyao believed Lu Kun was still the same, even though it was strange how he reacted after Mo Fan had killed Lu Zhantian and Lu Yilin. She could only express her doubts.
After all, Lu Kun was her uncle. Lu Qingyao had no reason to believe Mo Fan so easily!
“It’s a demon that can bewitch a person’s mind. In simpler words, it’s like a soul that can go inside a person’s body to control them, like a spiritual parasite. Don’t you worry, it has a true form, too. After it reveals its true form, you won’t recognize him as the uncle whom you’ve known for twenty years when you see its distorted appearance,” Mo Fan promised confidently.
Mochizuki Chihaya was almost possessed by the new red demon while she was carrying the Essence Orb.
The first red demon had been around for years. Judging by Senior Hunter Leng’s job request, not only was the red demon’s strength and power growing over time, its intelligence was growing, too!
In the past, it would create a bloodbath wherever it went, but it was very likely that it was disguising itself as a human now.
“Therefore, he might look like a normal person in the day, but he will turn into a monster at night!” Mo Fan speculated.
“A man in the day and a monster at night?” Lu Qingyao felt something was off about the description.
Lu Qingyao had met a lot of men with flowery words, but it was her first time seeing someone like Mo Fan come up with such a ridiculous story just to trick her.
Most importantly, Lu Qingyao was starting to believe he was telling the truth!
