After entering, Mo Fan had no idea how little Ling Ling operated it, but her tablet had somehow already put every room in the client's home under surveillance.

The bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, and study were all being monitored.

The client lived in a large flat. Mo Fan simply sat down where he was and began meditating, leaving Ling Ling to continue watching and tell him if anything happened.

He already knew the script anyway. One warrior-class female demon and one servant-class male demon—he could kill them with a flick of his fingers. There was nothing challenging about it!

After a while, Mo Fan heard a woman's voice from the monitor. "I'm going to take a shower."

Sensing Ling Ling's movement, Mo Fan said, "Don't block it. Keep watching. Call me if anything happens."

Sure enough, less than two minutes later, Ling Ling anxiously said, "Mo Fan, something's wrong! That woman is shedding her skin!!"

"Got it."

Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Fan rolled straight off the rooftop, turning into a dark shadow that slipped into the darkness.

In the warm bathroom shrouded in mist, what should have been a sensual scene was actually deeply horrifying. The voluptuous woman removed all her clothes, then peeled off her smooth human skin as though she were taking off another layer of clothing.

Strange, disgusting scales appeared on the tablet screen. Ling Ling shuddered in revulsion. What kind of demon creature was this? It could actually hide inside a human body!

"Mo Fan, hurry! That thing is almost done shedding!" Ling Ling shouted anxiously.

"I'm already here."

On the other side, Mo Fan kicked through the bathroom's glass window. The hard glass instantly exploded, shooting toward the half-shed female demon like a storm of piercing needles.

Who knew where he had learned this trick of interrupting a transformation.

Ghost Eye

Mo Fan directly activated Ghost Eye. It was as though his chest split open, revealing a blood-red eye. Depending on where Ghost Eye opened, it granted Mo Fan different abilities.

For example, opening it on his chest could enhance Mo Fan's physical strength.

The spreading steam slightly obscured his vision, but Mo Fan's hand accurately seized the female demon's head and viciously smashed it against the bathroom wall. Several hard tiles shattered from the impact.

The Scale Skin Female Demon was utterly stunned by that combo. It had not expected anyone to understand it so well, kicking through the window and pinning it down during its weakened skin-shedding stage.

"Zhao Fang, what happened?"

The man in the living room seemed to have heard the commotion from the bathroom. He stumbled into the room, only to see the monster Mo Fan had pinned to the floor!

That scene seemed to trigger something. The man suddenly clutched his head and dropped to his knees in apparent agony. It—was about to shed its skin too.

Ghost Shadow!!

Mo Fan called softly. His shadow rose to its feet with an incredibly sneaky air, then silently ran behind the male demon.

It twisted the male demon's neck like wringing a chick's.

That was the best way to ensure the man inside its body survived. If Mo Fan used fire or lightning magic, he would kill the host along with the demon creature.

The male demon contributed a Lingering Soul Remnant. Mo Fan curled his lip. Useless thing.

Then it was time to deal with the female demon. He had gotten lucky and obtained an essence from it in his previous life, but he could not be sure whether his odds would be the same this time.

So he simply summoned the Great Ominous Ghost's phantom. The tall, red-clad female ghost stood beside Mo Fan, her ghastly pale Ghost Hand piercing the Scale Skin Female Demon's skull like an arrow.

Sensing the fatal threat, the Scale Skin Female Demon instantly began struggling violently, but Mo Fan had come prepared. Black electric currents surged from his palm and immediately paralyzed it.

The Great Ominous Ghost turned her head, a cryptic smile flashing across her pale face. Her jade-like hand touched her crimson lips, then wiped across Mo Fan's.

"Can you extract the essence faster? We can talk about everything else later," Mo Fan said helplessly.

The Great Ominous Ghost nodded lightly, then sped up the entire process. A complete General Spirit Essence was pulled out.

Little Loach swallowed the essence without hesitation.

"It's settled, Ling Ling. You can notify the Magic Association and the hospital now," Mo Fan said into his earpiece.

"Mhm, I saw it," Ling Ling said faintly.

It had to be said that Mo Fan's battle just now had been textbook-perfect, but other mages were not advised to imitate it, since they did not possess Mo Fan's absurdly overpowered abilities.

Mo Fan walked out of the bathroom. The couple's child was staring at him with wide, bewildered eyes.

Mo Fan picked her up, rubbed her little head, and said, "Don't be afraid. Your dad and mom are fine. Big brother is a mage, and I came specifically to save them."

"Of course, your dad and mom will have to pay. If they don't, then big brother will have no choice but to sell you."

Mo Fan held the child while waiting for the Magic Association and doctors to arrive.

Only after the Magic Association members came and confirmed the situation did Mo Fan and little Ling Ling leave. Thanks to Mo Fan's timely rescue, both the man and the woman survived.

Mo Fan also made a small fortune. Feeling guilty afterward, the man raised the commission fee from three hundred thousand to one and a half million.

Ling Ling still only received one hundred and fifty thousand. The rest went to Mo Fan.

After making 1.35 million in one night, Mo Fan happily returned to the dorm. Zhao Manyan and Zhang Pinggu were both absent, leaving only two other roommates playing games.

"Huh, Mo Fan, you're back so early?"

The two roommates greeted Mo Fan in an ingratiating manner.

Mo Fan nodded, took off his clothes and put them into his small washbasin, then went in to shower.

When he came out after showering, Mo Fan found that Zhang Pinggu had returned.

"Why are you back so early?"

As he spoke, Mo Fan sat down in front of his computer and opened his game.

"Damn it, don't even mention it. Those girls tonight all came for you and Zhao Manyan. When I told them you two had no time, they acted like their fathers had just died!" Zhang Pinggu said indignantly.

He had spent the money and organized the gathering, so why did he have to put up with that kind of attitude?

Mo Fan did not keep provoking him. Instead, he messaged Mu Bai through Little Green Book. "Green tea boy, get online. Let's play a couple rounds!"

After quite a while, Mu Bai finally replied: Get lost. I'm busy today. The school assigned me my first watch duty!!

Less than ten seconds later, Mo Fan sent him an image.

In the pitch-black surroundings, dense clusters of ghostly blue lights filled the view.

Though the image was unclear, Mo Fan knew they were the soul flames of the Undead. Whenever night fell, countless Undead revived from beneath the ground outside the Ancient Capital's city walls, then followed the direction of the living.

Likewise, this was the treasure left to him by Little Loach's previous Divine Attendant, First Emperor Ying Zheng. The Ancient King's throne, the Dark Abyss, and the white Nether Palace had originally all been prepared for Mo Fan. In his previous life, Zhan Kong had borne Mo Fan's destiny in his place and was also devoured by that destiny's backlash!

This life, Mo Fan was prepared to bear it himself!!
