Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 238 – The Mobile Wallet Sent by the Dragon Clan

“Female slaves, level three and above, regardless of race. You’ll take as many as you can get?”

Su Yue was stunned for a moment, the tip of her pen smudging a small black dot on the ledger.

She looked up hesitantly at the “Lord Long Wu” before her, who, despite being lazily sprawled in her chair, exuded an aura of absolute control.

“My lord, level-three slaves… are hot commodities on the market.”

Su Yue chose her words carefully, trying to make her reminder sound less like a challenge. “Especially those with special talents or outstanding appearances. Their prices are often ten, or even dozens of times, higher than level-two slaves.”

“If we’re talking about a large-scale acquisition, our current Crystal reserves…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

They had no money.

Although they had plundered Hu Lie’s entire fortune, it was still a stretch to support the procurement of such “high-end goods” on this scale.

“Money?”

As if she had heard a joke, Lin Fan casually tossed the half-eaten grape into her mouth, chewing and swallowing it, skin and all.

“Su Yue, think bigger.”

She sat up straight, crossing her long, stocking-clad legs in the other direction. The heel of her shoe tapped lightly on the floor, making a crisp sound.

“To me, ordinary goods are worthless now.”

Lin Fan raised a finger and wagged it in the air.

Only those of Excellent-grade, which in this world meant level two and above, were barely qualified to be fusion fodder.

And as her strength increased, this threshold would only get higher.

“From now on, we’re changing the rules of the Slave Market.”

Lin Fan looked at Su Yue, her tone calm yet carrying an authority that brooked no argument. “Anything below level two will be traded normally on the market. Use the Crystals to keep the Slave Market running.”

“As for those level two and above, or the ‘specialty products’ that are low-level but have rare Bloodlines, intercept them all.”

“Send them directly here.”

“I want them all.”

Su Yue’s heart pounded in her chest as she listened.

All of them?

Wasn’t this appetite a bit too big?

“But, my lord…” Su Yue couldn’t help but worry. “How will we solve the Crystal problem? The profit margin from reselling low-level slaves probably won’t be enough to cover this deficit.”

“Who said we’re going to make money by reselling slaves?”

Lin Fan scoffed, leaning back and sinking into the soft white tiger pelt once more.

She raised a hand and pointed at the ceiling.

“In a few days, isn’t money going to start falling from the sky?”

Su Yue followed her finger and looked up, seeing nothing but the ceiling with its exquisitely painted patterns.

But she quickly understood.

The sky?

The Rift!

The Spatial Rift that connected to another world!

“My lord, you mean…” Su Yue’s eyes widened, and her breathing quickened.

“The Dragon Clan has gone to great lengths to cultivate their little experiment,” Lin Fan said, toying with a strand of golden hair that fell across her chest. It felt as smooth as silk.

“Every time the Rift opens, they’ll stuff tens of thousands of low-level Demonic Creatures into it, like they’re taking out the trash.”

“In the eyes of others, those things are a disaster, a nuisance.”

“But what are they in our eyes?”

A wicked curve formed on Lin Fan’s lips, the expression of a hunter spotting its prey.

“They are walking Crystals with legs, delivering themselves right to our door.”

Weren’t the ten thousand level-one Crystals from her last trade with Hu Lie obtained this way?

Back then, she had to do business with Hu Lie and be mindful of his moods.

But now?

The entire Azurewood City was hers. That ATM, naturally, now belonged to her.

It dawned on Su Yue.

She looked at the smiling young woman before her, a deep sense of awe welling up in her heart.

To be a member of the Pureblood Dragon Clan, yet dare to act in such a way.

Perhaps only this lord possessed such audacity.

“I understand.”

Su Yue closed the ledger, the worry in her eyes swept away and replaced by excitement. “As long as we have enough Crystals, I can take over all the Slave Markets around Azurewood City!”

“Not just Azurewood City.”

Lin Fan shook her head. “Azurewood City is too small. A small pond with too many turtles. What kind of quality goods can you find here?”

Out of the three hundred-plus people last time, only a mere forty-four Excellent-grade individuals had caught her eye.

The efficiency was too low.

It was nowhere near enough for her to squander.

“Get that fatty Hu Wei moving,” Lin Fan ordered. “He’s an old hand in this business, well-connected, with a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Have him contact the slave traders in the surrounding cities. Cast a wider net.”

“Tell him that as long as the goods are good, price is not an issue.”

At this, Lin Fan seemed to remember something and turned to look at Long Yan, who had been standing by as a bodyguard the whole time.

“Right, there’s also an acquaintance.”

Long Yan felt her gaze and his eyelid twitched, a bad feeling creeping over him.

“That rat in Border Dragon City, Jiji.”

Lin Fan snapped her fingers. “The guy’s a bit sleazy, but he’s a real talent when it comes to ‘contraband.’ And he controls the black market channels in Border Dragon City.”

“Su Yue, have Hu Wei get in touch with Jiji.”

“Tell him I said so. Have him ship all the high-end goods from Border Dragon City that can’t see the light of day to Azurewood City, whether they’re stolen or robbed.”

“If he dares to hold anything back…”

Lin Fan narrowed her eyes and made a throat-slitting gesture. “I’ll let him know what it means to be ‘very brave’.”

Long Yan: “…”

He recalled the scene in Jiji’s warehouse, that pink, spiral-shaped Staff, and the look on Jiji’s face as if he was about to piss his pants.

This woman really had that black market boss wrapped around her little finger.

Su Yue quickly jotted down the notes in her ledger, the tip of her pen scratching against the paper.

“Yes, my lord. I will arrange for Hu Wei to handle it immediately.”

“Also…”

Su Yue took out another list from her robes and presented it to Lin Fan with both hands.

“This is an inventory of the assets we compiled while clearing the ruins of Lord Hu Lie’s mansion.”

“Besides the usual Crystals, there are some rather special items that I think you might be interested in.”

Lin Fan took the list and glanced at it nonchalantly.

At first, her expression was casual.

Hundred-year-old blood ginseng, deep-sea cold iron, the pelt of a level-five demonic beast…

These things were priceless in the eyes of ordinary people, but to Lin Fan, who was accustomed to fine things, they were just so-so.

Until her gaze fell on the very bottom of the list.

A line of inconspicuous small words made her pupils contract sharply.

[Space Stones: Twenty-three]

“Space Stones?”Lin Fan shot upright, her previously lazy air vanishing in an instant, replaced by a sharp and imposing aura.”

“Where are they?”

“Right here.”

Su Yue was prepared. She clapped her hands.

Two fox-kin maids immediately walked in, carrying a heavy black iron box, and placed it in the center of the hall.

The lid was opened.

A strange spatial fluctuation instantly filled the air.

Inside the box, more than twenty grayish-white stones were neatly arranged.

A faint silver halo flowed across the surface of each stone, as if a miniature starry sky was sealed within.

They were indeed Space Stones!

Lin Fan sprang up from her chair, strode to the box in a few steps, and reached out to pick one up.

It was cool to the touch. The familiar spatial energy flowed through her fingertips, making every cell in her body cheer with delight.

“What a find…”

Lin Fan couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“These should be the strategic materials the Dragon Clan allocated to Hu Lie to open the Rift in Azurewood City.”

A trace of mockery appeared on Su Yue’s face. “That guy never focused on his duties. He treated these precious strategic materials as collectibles, letting them gather dust in his treasury.”

Lin Fan tossed the Space Stone in her hand, a playful smile gracing her lips.

“With these…”
