Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 106 – Shopping

Inside Yida Mall, it was a complete mess.

Shattered glass, toppled shelves, and dried, dark red bloodstains.

Lin Fan’s Mental Strength, like an invisible radar, swept through the entire building in an instant.

“Third floor, women’s apparel section.”

She said softly, and her body slowly began to levitate.

Zhou Ming followed closely behind, activating his ability and vanishing on the spot.

The third floor.

Chanel, Dior, Gucci…

Before the apocalypse, these brand stores represented luxury and dreams. Now, their doors were wide open, shrouded in silence.

The air was thick with the smell of dust.

Barefoot, Lin Fan landed lightly on the polished marble floor of a Dior boutique without making a sound.

She walked over to a rack of new luxury clothes and casually took down a little black dress.

“Zhou Ming.”

“I’m… I’m here, Lily.”

Zhou Ming appeared behind her, his voice stuttering slightly. He was clearly not used to this new name.

Lin Fan held the dress up against herself, then turned around, a hint of a smile in her rainbow eyes.

“What do you think of this one?”

Zhou Ming was stunned.

He had never seen Lei Jie… no, Lily, smile like that.

It wasn’t her usual indifferent expression that held everything under control.

It was a pure, radiant smile, as bright as the sun.

He felt as if something had slammed into his heart, and his cheeks began to burn uncontrollably.

“It’s… it’s beautiful.”

He answered haltingly, his gaze somewhat evasive.

“Is it? I think so too.”

Lin Fan walked into the fitting room. A moment later, she came out wearing the black dress.

The cut of the dress perfectly accentuated her breathtaking curves.

“And this one.”

She picked up another, a daringly cut red gown.

“How about this one?”

“Also… also beautiful.”

“Is ‘beautiful’ the only word you know?”

Lin Fan shot him a playful, reproachful glance. The charm in that one look made Zhou Ming’s brain completely shut down.

For the next hour, Lin Fan was like a little girl with a new toy, excitedly flitting between the luxury stores, trying on one gorgeous dress and pair of shoes after another.

She would constantly ask for his opinion and let out a bell-like laugh at his clumsy compliments.

Zhou Ming felt like he was living in a dream.

This was nothing like the apocalypse; it was clearly the sweetest kind of date between a couple.

In the end, Lin Fan settled on a black silk dress that fell slightly past her knees.

She sat down on a soft sofa in the Chanel store and picked up an unopened box of black stockings from a shelf.

“Zhou Ming.”

“Ah? I’m here…”

“Come sit.”

Zhou Ming hesitated for a moment before obediently sitting down beside her, his body as stiff as a board.

Lin Fan tore open the package and took out the black stockings, which were as thin as a cicada’s wings.

She lifted her foot and naturally rested it on Zhou Ming’s knee.

Zhou Ming’s body went rigid.

Lin Fan paid no mind to his reaction, simply focusing on her task, slowly and deliberately pulling the stocking on, inch by inch.

With her movements, the black dress was hiked up slightly.

A rush of hot blood surged to his brain.

“Hm?”

Lin Fan seemed to notice something. She stopped and tilted her head to look at him.

“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

“No… nothing…”

Zhou Ming’s voice was incredibly hoarse.

Lin Fan feigned ignorance, letting out a soft chuckle and continuing her actions.

When the stockings were fully on, her already perfect legs seemed to be imbued with a fatal magic.

“Here, help me with my shoes.”

Zhou Ming subconsciously looked up and saw her pointing to a pair of black, pointed-toe stiletto heels nearby.

As if possessed, he picked up the shoes and guided her small foot into one of them.

His breathing quickened throughout the entire process.

“Alright.”

Lin Fan stood up and walked to a large, full-length mirror.

The woman in the mirror had hair like a silver waterfall and a dress as dark as night. Her rainbow eyes swirled with a mature and dangerous light.

“My hair’s too long, it’s a bit in the way.”

She fiddled with her silver hair, which now almost reached her calves.

“Zhou Ming, come help me.”

Zhou Ming walked over.

The two stood before the mirror. Lin Fan gathered her silver hair, and Zhou Ming clumsily helped her secure it into an elegant bun.

In the mirror, their figures were pressed closely together, looking just like an intimate couple.

Zhou Ming stared at the reflection, feeling dazed for a moment.

“Done.”

Lin Fan looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction.

With her long hair up, she had less of a saintly air and more of a sharp, capable aura.

She turned around and snapped her fingers.

Vmm…

An invisible wave of Mental Strength instantly enveloped the entire third floor of the mall.

In all the luxury stores, the clothes on hangers, the items on display, all the well-fitting garments, shoes, bags, and even boxes of brand-new stockings… all of them floated into the air, transforming into streaks of light and vanishing.

By now, Zhou Ming wouldn’t doubt any ability she used. After all, Lin Fan was too strong, so strong that she was beyond his comprehension.

These spoils of war took up nearly a tenth of her 1000-cubic-meter Storage Space.

“Let’s go.”

Lin Fan strode forward elegantly, the sound of her high heels clacking.

She led Zhou Ming out of the mall.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly.

“You go back first. Complete the task I gave you,” Lin Fan said to Zhou Ming, standing in the sunlight.

“Yes, Lily.”

Reаⅾ οո KatRеaԁiոɡCаfе

Zhou Ming replied, then activated his ability and disappeared on the spot.

Watching the spot where Zhou Ming had vanished, the smile on Lin Fan’s face slowly faded.

She narrowed her rainbow eyes, looked at the fair fingers she had used to pinch Zhou Ming’s cheek, and casually flicked her hand.

A simple superior-subordinate relationship wasn’t reliable. In a life-or-death crisis, it was impossible for him to be as selflessly protective as he had been with Liu Ruyan.

She had to use something more advanced, more effective, to tie him down securely.

Besides, the current Zhou Ming, with his level-three Spatial Ability, was a force to be reckoned with.

Even the current Lin Fan wouldn’t dare to face his Space Severance head-on.

In the future, this ability might be of great help at a critical moment.

Lin Fan turned around. Activating her Mental Strength, her body slowly rose into the air, flying toward the tallest building in the city.

She landed on the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the urban ruins below.

She remembered something, and her expression changed slightly.

“Ah…”

“I can’t work on rooftops anymore…”

She glanced down at her legs clad in black stockings, a rare hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.

“What if Zhou Ming suddenly teleports here…”

“That scene… I can’t just pull him in to join me, can I…”

Lin Fan shook her head, banishing the absurd thought from her mind.

“Forget it. I’ll just do it in my room from now on.”

She shook her head again and took a deep breath, her rainbow eyes gazing eastward.

That was the direction of Shanghai.
