Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 149 – Your Grudge, I’ll Help You Avenge!

Lin Fan looked at the fire in Long Yan’s eyes. It was the fire of revenge, and also the fire of hope.

Very good.

This was how a Son of Destiny should be.

She casually took out a level-four Crystal and tossed it over.

“Take it.”

The Crystal traced an arc through the air, emitting a faint red glow.

Long Yan caught it subconsciously.

A warm sensation spread from his palm.

He looked down at the Crystal in his hand, completely stunned.

A level-four Crystal.

A year ago, he wouldn’t have given it a second glance.

At his peak of level six, he absorbed at least level-five, or even level-six, Crystals.

But now…

This level-four Crystal was, to him, no different from a life-saving elixir.

Not only could it help him quickly stabilize his injuries, but it might even give him a chance to raise his strength a little.

“You…” Long Yan raised his head to look at Lin Fan, his throat a little dry.

He wanted to say thank you.

But he felt those two words were too light.

Lin Fan, however, seemed to see through his thoughts and waved her hand.

“Don’t overthink it.”

She walked up to Long Yan, reached out, and straightened his messy collar.

“Your revenge, I’ll help you claim it.”

Her voice was very soft, yet it carried an unquestionable power.

“I hope to see the confident Brother Long Yan from before.”

Long Yan looked at her, his eyes filled with extreme complexity.

He clenched the Crystal in his hand and nodded heavily.

He said nothing more.

Turning, he walked out of the room.

His back was much straighter than when he had arrived.

The door was closed.

Su Xiaoxiao watched Long Yan’s departing figure and asked in a small voice, “Sister Ning Shuang, will he… will he really get stronger?”

Lin Fan walked to the table, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water.

“He will.”

She took a sip, a playful smile gracing the corner of her lips.

He was a Son of Destiny, after all.

How could he not get stronger?

Next was to boil the frog in warm water, letting him slowly get used to her presence and rely on her help.

Until finally, he couldn’t leave her at all.

She refused to believe any man could withstand this combination of moves.

Especially a man at the lowest point of his life, even in a hell of despair.

A Son of Destiny as a simp…

The thought was quite thrilling.

“Xiaoxiao, go prepare some hot water. Let’s wash up,” Lin Fan said, putting down her cup.

“Okay!” Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously and ran out.

Soon, the inn’s attendant brought two large buckets of hot water.

Lin Fan surveyed the facilities in the bathroom.

Though simple, it had all the essentials.

What interested her most was the device that provided hot water.

A metal box was inlaid with a level-one Crystal. The Crystal’s light flowed along several lines into a larger metal water tank.

The water in the tank was heated this way.

The object in the room that resembled an electric lamp was also powered by a Crystal.

Although the social structure of this world was like that of ancient times, its development and utilization of Crystals far surpassed that of Blue Star.

Blue Star was still treating Crystals as consumables exclusive to Evolved beings.

But here, Crystals had already become a daily energy source.

It seemed that after returning, she would have to get Ah Hu and the others to research this area of technology.

It would be of great benefit to the base’s development.

“Sister Ning Shuang, the water is ready,” Su Xiaoxiao’s voice came from behind.

Lin Fan came back to her senses and turned to look.

The little fox-girl’s face was flushed, her eyes darting away shyly.

Lin Fan smiled.

“Let’s wash together.”

“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.

“What ‘huh’? You’re filthy too. Hurry up.”

As Lin Fan spoke, she began to remove her combat attire on her own.

Su Xiaoxiao stood frozen, at a loss, her cheeks so red it looked as if blood might drip from them.

In the end, under Lin Fan’s urging, she dawdled as she took off her clothes.

The bathtub was large enough for two people.

The warm water enveloped their bodies, dispelling the day’s fatigue.

Su Xiaoxiao sat primly opposite Lin Fan, hugging her knees, not daring to move.

Lin Fan leaned against the wall of the tub, her eyes closed, enjoying the rare moment of relaxation.

Bai Lu’s Mental Strength really seemed to be influencing her imperceptibly.

It made her occasionally reveal a softness that didn’t belong to “Lin Fan.”

For instance, right now, she didn’t feel there was anything wrong with bathing with Su Xiaoxiao.

She even felt that having a little girl like this by her side, chattering away, was quite interesting.

And her feelings toward Long Yan were not purely about using him.

She also wanted to see if this person with the Son of Destiny template could truly overthrow the rule of the Pureblood Dragon Clan.

Most importantly, she saw her former self in Long Yan—the self who had been betrayed and cast into hell…

After washing up, she changed into a clean, simple dress.

Su Xiaoxiao was already exhausted and asleep on the bed, her small body curled into a ball, her fox tail covering her like a fluffy blanket.

Lin Fan walked to the window and looked outside.

Azurewood City was brightly lit under the night sky.

The most conspicuous sight was still the massive Rift in the center of the city that pierced through heaven and earth.

The area around the Rift was enclosed by a circle of high walls, clearly a restricted zone.

Lin Fan narrowed her eyes.

There was less than a month until the Rift’s membrane disappeared again.

She had to rush back to Blue Star before then.

To help the Magic City Base defend against the next Tidal wave of beasts.

And within this month, she still had many things to do.

For example, taking over this Azurewood City.

Turning it into her own, into Blue Star humanity’s first base of operations on the Dragon Spirit Continent.

And to take Azurewood City, she first had to deal with that level-seven City Lord, Hu Lie.

A level-seven powerhouse who liked beautiful women.

Lin Fan touched her face.

Rеaԁ on КatRеaԁiոɡCαfe

This face should be enough, right?

She didn’t believe that Hu Lie would remain indifferent after learning that a “Dragon Clan beauty” like her had entered the city.

Now, all she had to do was wait.

Wait for the prey to deliver itself to her door.

Just then.

Knock, knock, knock.

A clear knocking sound echoed in the quiet room.

Lin Fan turned around, the corners of her lips curling up slightly.

They’re here.

Lin Fan walked to the door but didn’t open it immediately.

Her Mental Strength seeped through the crack of the door, sensing several people standing outside.

Their auras were steady, their strength not weak.

They were at least level five.

It seemed this City Lord Hu Lie had quite the entourage.

“Who is it?” she asked faintly.

A respectful voice came from outside the door.

“My lady, I am Hu Ben, captain of the City Lord’s personal guard.”

“My Lord, the City Lord, heard of your arrival in Azurewood City and has prepared a humble banquet. He would like to invite you to the City Lord’s mansion for a gathering.”

Lin Fan sneered inwardly.

The news traveled fast indeed.

From her entering the city to buying Long Yan.

This series of actions had probably been reported to Hu Lie’s ears without a single word missed.
