Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 109 – Fireworks at a Thousand Meters High

…(In the last few chapters, she was done in by Shen He. It’s recommended to listen to the audiobook for the uncensored version.)

In a room downstairs.

A large round table was laden with all sorts of canned meat, compressed biscuits, and even a few steaming hot stir-fried dishes and a case of white liquor.

Ah Hu, Zhou Ming, and Zhang Jie sat around the table.

The moment they sat down, Ah Hu grabbed Zhou Ming’s arm, his eyes wide like bronze bells.

“Zhou Ming! You punk, spit it out! What’s the deal?”

“What… what deal?” Zhou Ming was taken aback by his question.

“Still playing dumb with me!” Ah Hu slammed his palm on the table, making the food on the plates jump.

“Lily! You fucking dare to call Lei Jie Lily! Are you tired of living?”

Zhang Jie silently poured himself a glass of liquor off to the side, watching with great interest without interrupting.

He was also very curious.

Zhou Ming looked innocent and scratched his head. “I… I don’t know either. It was Lily who told me to call her that.”

“Bullshit!” Ah Hu nearly spat out a mouthful of liquor. “Lei Jie would let you call her that? Do you take me for a three-year-old?”

“Why would I lie to you…” Zhou Ming felt a little wronged. “It was that day… she suddenly told me to call her that.”

Ah Hu stared intently at Zhou Ming for a long time. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, his expression instantly turned more bitter than if he had eaten a bitter melon.

He violently chugged a large mouthful of white liquor, his eyes turning somewhat red.

“Why…”

“I’ve followed Lei Jie for five years! Five years!”

“In these five years, I’ve taken a knife for her, and I almost died during the Fragrant Hills International cleanup!”

“I don’t even fucking dare to look her straight in the eye for more than a second!”

“How long have you been with her, you punk? Why do you get to call her Lily?”

The more Ah Hu spoke, the more agitated he became, his voice thick with grievance and jealousy.

Listening from the side, Zhang Jie was also filled with emotion.

He raised his glass and said to Zhou Ming, “Brother Zhou Ming, it seems your status in Lei Li’s heart is anything but ordinary.”

“Come, let me toast you.”

Zhou Ming raised his glass with a wry smile, clinked it with Zhang Jie’s, and drained it in one gulp.

He himself was completely baffled.

All he knew was that ever since that day on the rooftop when Lily told him to change how he addressed her, her attitude toward him had become completely different.

Although she was still the same queen whose word was law, the occasional concern and smiles she revealed made him feel… very warm.

“No! I can’t take this!” Ah Hu chugged another large mouthful of liquor and grabbed Zhou Ming’s collar with drunken eyes.

“What kind of dogshit luck did you stumble into? Tell me! Do you have some secret trick?”

“Did you save the galaxy in your past life?”

“Hurry up and tell me, I want to call Lei Jie Lily too…”

Looking at Ah Hu, who was on the verge of tears, Zhou Ming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and could only keep pouring him liquor.

“Brother Hu, you’ve had too much to drink…”

“I’m not drunk! I’m perfectly sober!” Ah Hu pushed his hand away, grabbed the bottle himself, and started chugging straight from it.

Gulp… Gulp…

In the blink of an eye, half a bottle of high-proof white liquor was gone.

Ah Hu let out a drunken burp and slumped onto the table, his face flushed red, still mumbling incoherently.

“Unfair… So unfair…”

“Back in the day… Lei Jie was still… hic… still a little girl…”

“I just knew… she was no ordinary person…”

“Five years…”

Zhou Ming and Zhang Jie exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of a helpless smile in the other’s eyes.

It seemed this Brother Hu had been truly and deeply provoked.

…

Night completely enveloped Jiangcheng.

At the edge of the rooftop, Lin Fan sat on the guardrail.

Her legs were crossed, her high heels dangling in mid-air, the tips of her feet swaying gently.

A light breeze blew past, lifting the hem of her dress before it fell again.

She gazed at the city beneath her feet, a city already under her control, and a smile touched the corners of her lips.

Hangcheng, Jiangcheng.

Two cities, several thousand survivors, hundreds of Evolved beings.

All in her hands.

“It’s time for a celebration.”

She stood up and lightly tapped her toes on the ground.

Her entire body, like a feather, floated lightly into the night sky.

The hem of her black dress billowed beneath her.

She flew higher and higher.

One hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

Five hundred meters.

One thousand meters.

When she reached an altitude of a thousand meters, the city below had become a blurry silhouette.

The lights of the industrial park were like scattered specks of light.

The entire world was so quiet that only the sound of the wind remained.

Lin Fan stopped in mid-air and scanned her surroundings once more with her Mental Strength.

She nodded in satisfaction.

“Now… there shouldn’t be any interruptions.”

Moonlight spilled over her.

Her silver chignon swayed in the wind.

She took a deep breath.

…

…

…

On the ground floor of the industrial park.

Zhou Ming struggled to move the dead-drunk Ah Hu onto a bed in one of the rooms.

The man was still incoherently muttering things like “Lily” and “unfair.”

Zhou Ming shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He covered him with a blanket, then turned and walked out.

The night wind blew against his face.

He felt a bit stifled.

He had drunk quite a bit with Ah Hu and Zhang Jie just now, and his head was a little dizzy.

He walked to the open space downstairs, raised his head, and took a deep breath.

The night sky of the apocalypse was a hazy gray.

He just stood there, quietly looking at the sky, his thoughts drifting far away.

Suddenly.

A drop of rain fell on his forehead.

“Is it raining?”
