Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 136 – A Dramatic Background

Lin Fan stood in the tree hollow.

She looked at Long Ningshuang’s Skin on the wall.

Dark green long hair.

Dark gold scales.

In the dim light, they shimmered with an alluring luster.

Lin Fan walked forward.

She reached out and touched it.

The touch was warm and smooth.

As if it were alive.

She took a deep breath.

“If I’m to survive in this world…”

“Then I’ll start with this identity.”

Lin Fan picked up Long Ningshuang’s Skin.

She flipped it to the back.

A black seam was clearly visible.

She didn’t hesitate.

She slipped her feet directly into the Skin.

This time, it was exceptionally smooth.

Lin Fan could clearly feel the Skin automatically conforming to her body.

From the soles of her feet, to her calves, and then to her thighs.

That warm, smooth sensation spread all the way up.

She slid her arms into the sleeves.

The arm sections of the Skin perfectly enveloped her hands.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and pulled the head part over.

The next second—

Boom—!

An immense power erupted from within the Skin.

Lin Fan’s eyes flew open.

It was an unprecedented feeling of fullness.

Long Ningshuang’s physical constitution was already as high as 2175.

And now, with the addition of 754 attribute points from her original body (50%), the total was—

2929!

Nearly three thousand points of physical constitution!

Lin Fan looked down at her body.

Dark gold scales covered her arms, thighs, and the sides of her torso.

Dark green hair cascaded down to her waist.

She raised a hand.

The tips of her claws glowed with a faint golden light.

Reαԁ οո KаtRеαdiոɡСаfе

That was the power of the Dragon Clan.

Lin Fan clenched her Dragon Claws.

With a light swing.

Bang!

The air cracked with an explosive sound.

A visible shockwave blasted out of the tree hollow, snapping a small tree outside in half.

Lin Fan narrowed her eyes.

“This power…”

She could feel several different energies flowing within her body.

One was the power of the Dragon Bloodline.

Violent.

Overbearing.

Full of aggression.

The others were her original body’s Mental Strength and Advanced fire element control.

Lin Fan tried to mobilize her Mental Strength.

She raised her hand.

The surrounding rubble instantly levitated.

Then—

Boom!

Dozens of pieces of rubble shot out simultaneously, smashing a large boulder outside the tree hollow to smithereens.

“I can still use my control over Mental Strength.”

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.

She raised her hand again.

A ball of black-red flame appeared in her palm.

Advanced fire element control.

Still intact.

Lin Fan looked at the flame in her hand.

She could still use all her original abilities, but their power was only half of what it used to be.

She walked to the entrance of the tree hollow.

She closed her eyes, sensing the power of the Dragon Bloodline within her.

Her eyes snapped open.

Roar—!

A low dragon’s roar emanated from her throat.

The next second, her body began to change drastically.

Her arms swelled.

Scales grew wildly.

A pair of huge, fleshy wings tore through her back.

Dragonization!

Rеaԁ οո ΚαtRеadiոɡСαfe

At this moment, she was no longer in human form.

Instead, she had transformed into a thirty-meter-tall dragon.

Muscles bulged.

Scales covered her body.

Her arms had turned into sharp, massive Dragon Claws.

She could feel her physical constitution skyrocketing once more.

It had increased by at least 50%!

Lin Fan took a deep breath.

She opened her massive jaws.

A ball of golden flame condensed in her throat.

That was—

Dragon Breath!

Boom!

A pillar of golden fire shot from her mouth, burning a huge, deep crater directly into the ground.

Lin Fan slowly retracted the Dragon Breath and deactivated her Dragonization state.

Her body returned to Long Ningshuang’s appearance.

She stood on the spot and moved her body a little.

Her joints let out a series of crisp cracks.

“The combined power of my original body and the Skin…”

“It’s even stronger than I imagined.”

Lin Fan closed her eyes and began to receive Long Ningshuang’s memories.

The memory fragments flooded into her mind like a tide.

Images.

Sounds.

Emotions.

All jumbled together.

Lin Fan frowned, forcefully sorting through them.

After a long while, she finally opened her eyes, a complicated look flashing within them.

“So that’s how it is…”

Long Ningshuang.

A collateral branch of the Dragon Clan.

Both her parents were from a collateral bloodline of low purity.

They both died in a battle fought for the Pureblood Dragon Clan.

And she, as an orphan, was adopted by other members of the Dragon Clan.

But the status of the collateral branches within the Dragon Clan was terrifyingly low.

They were regarded as “tools” by the Pureblood Dragon Clan.

Servants to attend to the purebloods.

Reaԁ oո КatReаdіոɡСafе

Instruments for procreation and venting frustrations.

After Long Ningshuang came of age, she caught the eye of a young master from the Pureblood Dragon Clan.

He proposed that she become his concubine and bear his children.

According to the rules of the Dragon Clan, this was an “honor” for a collateral member.

To be able to serve the Pureblood Dragon Clan was an opportunity countless collateral members dreamed of.

But Long Ningshuang refused.

Because she hated all of that.

She didn’t like the idea of being a wife and mother.

Even less did she like being treated as a tool for breeding and release.

She wanted to use her own strength to prove her worth.

Therefore, to escape being forcibly taken away to reproduce, she volunteered for the mission to invade the other world.

With her level-six strength, coupled with the Dragonization ability of her Dragon Bloodline, even if she couldn’t conquer Blue Star, she could have retreated unscathed before the Rift closed.

But she never expected to run into Lin Fan on her first trip into a Rift.

And then, she lost everything.

Lin Fan opened her eyes, a cold smile touching her lips.

“How… melodramatic.”

But she didn’t care.

Long Ningshuang’s past had nothing to do with her.

She only cared about what this body could bring her.

As long as there were enough benefits, what did it matter if Lin Fan really had to go and bear children for the Dragon Clan? It was just a Skin, anyway.

As long as her original body was unharmed, it was fine.

Lin Fan stood up.

She looked down at her body.

Dark green hair fell to her waist.

A slender figure.

A curvaceous silhouette.

And…

The dark gold Dragon Scales covering the crucial areas.

Almost her entire body, aside from these scales, was completely bare.

Lin Fan frowned.

“What kind of terrible aesthetic is this…”

She knew that the Dragon Clan took pride in their scales, believing them to be a symbol of power.

Therefore, the Dragon Clan never wore clothes.

They only used their Dragon Scales to cover the vital parts.

They called it displaying their strength, displaying their glory.

But Lin Fan had no such pathetic dragon pride.

She just felt that walking out like this made her look like a pervert.

“Retract.”

Rеαⅾ οn ΚatRеаdіnɡСаfе

With a thought, the Dragon Scales and sharp Dragon Claws covering her arms and legs began to slowly recede.

A dark golden light flickered.

The scales, piece by piece, merged into her skin and disappeared.

A few seconds later, Lin Fan’s hands and feet returned to a normal human appearance.

Slender fingers.

Long legs.

Fair skin.

Not a trace of Dragon Scales remained.

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.

Then, she looked at the Dragon Scales on her chest and lower body.

With another thought, those scales also began to slowly recede.

In the end, only the two small horns on her head remained.

Lin Fan reached up and touched them.

She tried to retract them as well.

But it was no use.

This pair of Dragon horns was the mark of the Dragon Clan, a symbol of her Bloodline.

They couldn’t be hidden.

“Forget it.”

Lin Fan sighed.

She opened her Storage Space and took out a set of clothes.

It was something she had scavenged from a mall before.

A simple, plain white dress that reached her ankles.

A minimalist design, with no extra decorations.

There was also a pair of white embroidered cloth shoes.

This was the everyday attire of people in this world, similar in style to the ancient clothing of the Dragon Country.

Lin Fan slipped the dress on.

The soft fabric clung to her skin, bringing a long-missed sense of comfort.

She looked down, straightened the hem, and then put on the shoes.

She stood up and walked to the entrance of the tree hollow.

Using the faint light filtering in, she looked at her reflection in a puddle of water.

Dark green hair.

A slender figure.

A white dress.

And the pair of conspicuous little horns on her head.

Lin Fan was silent for a moment.

“Not bad.”

At least she no longer looked like an exhibitionist.
