Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 236 – Want a Huazi?

Although with their strength, it would only take a few hours to fly to Azurewood City at full speed.

However, they had plenty of time, so enjoying the scenery along the way wasn’t a bad idea.

It was just… this luxurious carriage felt like a prison cell to Lin Fan.

The two-day journey was neither long nor short.

“Boring. So incredibly boring.”

Lin Fan was sprawled inelegantly on the soft couch, her long, black-stockinged legs propped brazenly on the window frame, swaying with the carriage’s jolts.

Through the translucent black silk, the delicate bones of her ankles were faintly visible.

She glanced at the person opposite her.

Long Yan sat cross-legged with his eyes shut, a golden light flowing around his body, like a gilded, emotionless statue.

The guy had been cultivating ever since they got in the carriage. Aside from eating and drinking, his butt hadn’t moved an inch.

“Hey, I’m talking to you.” Lin Fan extended the tip of her foot and tapped his knee. “We took a carriage specifically to relax, but you haven’t even moved.”

Long Yan didn’t even raise an eyelid, his voice flat. “In this world, if you are not strong, you die.”

“Tch, no fun.”

Lin Fan rolled her eyes and retracted her foot.

She rummaged through her System Space and finally, in a corner, pulled out a crumpled soft pack of cigarettes.

It was a pack of “Hua Zi” she had swiped from Shi Ming’s pocket when he wasn’t looking during her last trip back to Magic City Base.

She hadn’t been able to bring herself to smoke them until now.

Flick.

A small white flame sprouted from her fingertip, lighting the end of the cigarette.

Lin Fan took a deep drag. The acrid smoke swirled in her lungs before she slowly exhaled a perfect smoke ring.

“Haaa—”

So satisfying.

This was the taste of home.

Through the curling smoke, Long Yan finally opened his eyes.

He frowned, looking at the small paper stick with its glowing red tip between Lin Fan’s fingers, then sniffed the strange, unfamiliar smell in the air.

“What is this?” Long Yan asked warily. “Is it poison?”

“Poison?” Lin Fan scoffed, took another drag, her eyes hazy. “This is called loneliness.”

With that, she held out the cigarette pack and gave it a little shake. “Want one? This is good stuff. One less every time you smoke one. You won’t be able to get them anywhere in the future.”

Long Yan leaned back in disgust. “No, thank you. This kind of nerve-numbing herb will only interfere with my cultivation.”

“Country bumpkin.”

Lin Fan pouted. Not pressing the issue, she continued to puff away on her own.

…

Azurewood City, city gate.

Ever since Hu Lie’s death, the guards here had been completely replaced.

The original Tiger Clan Guards, who had been borrowing the tiger’s might, were gone. In their place was a group of lightly armored Werewolf Clan members with fierce eyes.

This was Su Yue’s doing.

Although the Werewolf Clan was greedy, they were more obedient than the Tiger Clan. As long as you gave them enough meat and bones, they were the best watchdogs.

“Halt! Routine inspection!”

A Werewolf Clan squad leader, carrying a long spear, blocked the middle of the road, his tone arrogant.

The situation in Azurewood City had been turbulent recently, and the status of guards like them had risen accordingly. Any merchant caravan with a bit of money would be fleeced.

However.

The coachman didn’t even stop, merely cracking his whip coldly.

Crack!

The tip of the whip snapped through the air.

The wind lifted a corner of the black cloth on the side of the carriage, revealing a ferocious and majestic, pure gold Dragon Crest Emblem on the carriage door.

The emblem gleamed under the sunlight, exuding a pressure that made one’s knees go weak.

The Werewolf Clan squad leader, who had been baring his teeth, felt his legs go soft the moment he saw the emblem, and he almost dropped to his knees on the spot.

“Pure… Pureblood Dragon Clan?!”

He had been under Hu Ben for so many years, so he at least had that much discernment.

A carriage of this caliber, an emblem of pure gold—the person sitting inside was definitely a major figure from the Dragon Clan!

“Quick! Get out of the way! Move the barricade!”

The squad leader was so scared his tail clamped between his legs. He kicked the butt of a subordinate who was staring blankly beside him. “Are you blind?! Do you want to die?!”

A flurry of chaotic activity ensued.

The once-congested city gate was instantly cleared, forming a wide path.

The surrounding vendors and passersby all knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads, terrified of offending the noble.

The carriage slowly drove through the city gate.

Peeking through the gap in the curtains, Lin Fan looked at the terrified heads outside, flicked her cigarette ash, and a playful smile touched her lips.

“So this is the privileged class…” she mused. “It feels so damn good.”

Not long after the carriage entered the city, a figure hurried over to greet them.

The person was dressed in a white combat uniform and looked valiant and extraordinary.

It was none other than Lu Yuan, the fellow from Blue Star whom Lin Fan had tricked into coming here.

The carriage stopped.

The curtain was lifted, and Lin Fan, stepping out in her signature black high heels, elegantly descended.

She still had the appearance of “Long Wu,” with golden hair and golden eyes, looking noble and aloof.

“Captain Lu, long time no see.”

Lin Fan took off the lace veiled hat on her head and winked at Lu Yuan, the half-smoked Hua Zi still held between her fingers.

The moment Lu Yuan saw that cigarette, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

What the fuck?

A Pureblood Dragon Clan princess smoking a Hua Zi?

Isn’t this a bit too out of character?

But he quickly realized—this had to be that demoness, his fellow from Blue Star!

“Fellow… ahem, My Lady.” Lu Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and lowered his voice. “Your… style is quite unique.”

“Cut the crap.” Lin Fan casually flicked the cigarette butt away. “Lead the way to Long Ningshuang’s residence.”

“Yes!”

Lu Yuan hurriedly led the way in front.

The group proceeded grandly toward the large mansion in the eastern part of the city, which had originally belonged to the former city defense officer.

Just as they reached the mansion’s entrance, the main gate was pushed open from the inside.

“Big Sis!”

A petite figure shot out like a cannonball.

Su Xiaoxiao was still wearing the JK uniform Lin Fan had given her, her fox ears standing straight up, her large eyes filled with tears.

She didn’t care about pureblood or not, nor did she care how many people were watching. She crashed headfirst into Lin Fan’s embrace.

“Big Sis! You’re finally back! Waaah…”

Su Xiaoxiao hugged Lin Fan’s waist tightly, rubbing her face against the soft flesh of her chest, her tail wagging like a propeller.

Through the Soul Imprint, she had sensed Lin Fan’s presence immediately.

No matter what her big sister looked like, the connection deep within their souls was absolutely unmistakable!

“Ouch, gentle, gentle, you’re going to break my waist.”

Lin Fan complained verbally, but her hand gently stroked Su Xiaoxiao’s head, taking the opportunity to pinch her fluffy fox ears.

“You’re a big girl now, still crying.”

Standing to the side, Su Yue was completely dumbfounded as she watched this scene.

She was wearing a proper purple dress and holding a ledger, originally prepared to welcome the legendary “Princess Long Wu.”

But instead…

Her own timid-as-a-mouse little sister had just thrown herself into the arms of a pureblood princess?

And that Pureblood Dragon Clan member, known for her brutality, wasn’t angry at all and even had a doting look on her face?

Had the world gone mad?

“Xiaoxiao…” Su Yue cautiously stepped forward, wanting to pull her sister back. “Don’t be rude. This is…”

“Su Yue.”

Lin Fan looked up at the still-charming fox-kin woman and smiled.

“No need to be nervous.”

She pointed at Su Xiaoxiao, who was still clinging to her, and casually spun a tale. “Ning Shuang and I are the best of sisters. Since Xiaoxiao is Ning Shuang’s person, she is my person.”

Su Yue was taken aback for a moment.

Lady Ning Shuang’s sister?

No wonder…

She looked at Long Wu’s face, which was completely different from Ning Shuang’s but equally beautiful. Although she still had doubts, she was smart enough not to ask any more questions.

“So it is Lady Long Wu.” Su Yue curtsied slightly, adopting a very humble posture. “The residence has been prepared. Please, come in.”

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.

A smart one.

“Let’s go, we’ll talk inside.” Lin Fan patted Su Xiaoxiao’s butt. “Stop rubbing, you’re getting snot all over me.”

Only then did Su Xiaoxiao let go, embarrassed, her tears turning into a smile as she trotted happily behind Lin Fan.

Su Yue sidled up to Su Xiaoxiao and asked in a low voice, “Xiaoxiao, this Lady Long Wu… is she really okay?”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked and said mysteriously, “Sister Su Yue, just treat her like you would Sister Ning Shuang! Her orders are Sister Ning Shuang’s orders!”

Su Yue nodded thoughtfully.

They walked into the residence.

The courtyard was spotlessly clean, with a dozen young and beautiful fox-kin girls bustling about.

Seeing Lin Fan enter, they all stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully.

Lin Fan scanned her surroundings, her mood soaring.

Now this was the life.
