Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 185 – Return to Qingmu City

In Magic City Base, Lin Fan’s private room remained just as it was a month ago.

Sun Jing sat on the edge of the bed, cupping a mug of hot tea in her hands, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Lin Fan.

“Lei Jie, is the Dragon Spirit Continent… really as magical as you say?”

Lin Fan leaned back in her chair, her long legs crossed.

She looked up at Sun Jing, the corners of her lips curling into a faint smile.

“Magical?”

She paused.

“The Spirit Energy there is indeed magical. Any ordinary person who stays there for half a year can evolve.”

“Moreover…” Lin Fan’s voice lowered, carrying a certain bewitching tone, “there are many races there. Cat people, wolf people, rabbit people… and fox people.”

“Fox people?” Sun Jing’s eyes grew even brighter.

“Yes.” Lin Fan nodded. “I got to know a fox clan village there called Green Hill Village. The fox girls in the village are all very cute, gentle, and skilled in concealment and intelligence gathering.”

“And the fur on a fox girl’s tail is exceptionally soft to the touch.”

A look of yearning appeared on Sun Jing’s face.

“I really want to go see it…”

Lin Fan smiled.

“You’ll have the chance.”

She paused, her tone turning serious.

“Once I have complete control over Azurewood City, the first person I’ll bring over is you.”

Sun Jing’s head snapped up, her eyes filled with surprise.

“Really?!”

“Of course.” Lin Fan’s voice was calm, but a profound light flickered in her rainbow-colored eyes. “Your healing ability is unheard of, even on the Dragon Spirit Continent.”

“With you there, unless Azurewood City is besieged by a powerhouse of level seven or higher, it will be almost impossible to breach.”

Sun Jing’s face instantly turned red.

“Lei Jie… you’re flattering me too much…”

“I’m speaking the truth.” Lin Fan stood up, walked over to Sun Jing, and reached out to pat her head. “You are one of the most important people to me.”

Sun Jing’s eyes grew a little moist.

“Lei Jie…”

Lin Fan withdrew her hand, turned, and walked to the window, watching the soldiers outside cleaning up the battlefield.

“By the way, how has the Second Battalion been this past month?”

Sun Jing took a deep breath, composing herself.

“They’ve grown much stronger.”

She paused.

“Aside from Captain Shi Ming, the other four Evolved beings have all broken through to level five, and the number of level-four Evolved beings has increased to seventeen.”

“But…”

Sun Jing’s voice dropped.

“If another Level 6 Demonic Beast were to appear, we still wouldn’t be able to stop it.”

Lin Fan didn’t turn around.

“Did Chu Chen request reinforcements?”

“He did.” Sun Jing gave a bitter smile. “He sent out a request for aid to all military districts.”

“But…”

She paused, a hint of helplessness in her tone.

“There was almost no response.”

“They either said they were too far away or that they were too busy to spare anyone.”

Lin Fan narrowed her eyes.

Too busy to spare anyone?

She thought of the Chuanxi Plateau Base.

The Rift on the other side of that base connected to Azurewood City, and the number and level of the Demonic Creatures pouring out were not high.

She alone could easily handle twenty thousand low-level Demonic Creatures.

And the defensive forces of the Chuanxi Plateau Base had at least a dozen level-four Evolved beings.

With such a lineup, dealing with that Rift should have been no pressure at all.

Although Chen Mo had said he sent three level-four Evolved beings to support Magic City Base.

But now the Rift was about to close.

And she hadn’t seen any reinforcements from any other base.

“Heh.”

Lin Fan let out a cold laugh.

Too busy to spare anyone?

It was clear they didn’t want to come.

Or rather…

Someone was stopping them from coming.

The Federation’s high command.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Fan’s eyes.

It seemed these people… had completely sided with the Dragon Clan.

“Lei Jie?”

Sun Jing’s voice interrupted Lin Fan’s thoughts.

Lin Fan turned around, a gentle smile returning to her face.

“It’s nothing.”

She walked back to Sun Jing and took out a Crystal the size of an egg from her Storage Space.

The Crystal was entirely golden, with fiery patterns flowing within it.

“This is…” Sun Jing’s eyes widened.

“The Crystal of a level-six Lion King.” Lin Fan handed the Crystal to Sun Jing. “It’s for you.”

Sun Jing was stunned.

“Lei Jie… this… this is too valuable…”

“Take it.” Lin Fan’s tone left no room for refusal. “Your healing ability is already at level five, but you have a fatal weakness.”

“You can’t heal yourself.”

Sun Jing lowered her head.

“I know…”

“So,” Lin Fan lifted Sun Jing’s chin, making her look up, “when the time is right, swallow this Crystal and break through to level six.”

“Perhaps… you’ll be able to solve this drawback.”

Sun Jing’s eyes became moist again.

“Lei Jie…”

“Don’t cry.” Lin Fan smiled. “If you cry, it’ll break my heart.”

Sun Jing nodded forcefully, clutching the Crystal tightly.

“I will definitely not disappoint you, Lei Jie!”

Lin Fan patted her head and turned toward the door.

“The next time I come back, I hope my dear little sister will be a level-six powerhouse.”

“Mhm!”

The energy fluctuations from the massive Rift began to intensify.

A large number of soldiers had gathered in front of the Rift at Magic City Base.

Lin Fan stood at the edge of the Rift, with Chu Chen, Shi Ming, Zhou Ming, and others behind her.

“Miss Lei Li.” Chu Chen pushed up his glasses. “Here is your Space Stone back.”

Lin Fan nodded and put the Space Stone into her Storage Space.

“Zhou Ming.”

She turned her head to look at Zhou Ming.

“Before I return next time, do your best to complete the analysis of the Rift.”

Zhou Ming nodded seriously.

“I will, Lily.”

Lin Fan paused.

“When the Rift opens next time, I will rush over as soon as possible.”

She scanned everyone present, the corners of her lips curling into an enigmatic smile.

“I hope that the next time I come… things won’t be as pathetic as they were this time.”

Shi Ming scratched his head.

“Don’t worry, Miss Lei Li, we will definitely become stronger!”

Lin Fan smiled but said nothing more.

She turned and walked toward the slowly closing Rift.

The crisp clacking of her high heels echoed.

Her silver ponytail fluttered in the night wind.

The black, tight leather suit outlined her perfect curves.

Her figure from behind was proud and resolute.

Just as she was about to step into the Rift, Sun Jing suddenly rushed over.

“Lei Jie!”

Lin Fan stopped.

Sun Jing ran up to her.

“You must come back safely!”

Lin Fan was taken aback for a moment.

Then, she reached out and patted Sun Jing’s head.

“I will.”

Her voice was very soft.

“Wait for my return.”

With that, Lin Fan turned and stepped into the Rift.

A silver light engulfed her figure.

The moment she entered, the Rift closed completely.

Sun Jing stood there in a daze, watching the spot where the Rift had vanished, her eyes slightly red.

Chu Chen walked to her side.

“Don’t worry, she’ll be back.”

Sun Jing nodded forcefully.

“I know.”

She tightened her grip on the level-six Crystal in her hand.

“I will become stronger and wait for Lei Jie to return!”

Chu Chen looked at Sun Jing’s back.

He turned his head to look at the now-closed Rift, a profound light flashing in his eyes.

Lei Li…

What is your true purpose?
