Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 240 – Sister’s Craftsmanship Spirit

Lu Yuan left, his mind reeling with shock and a trace of relief at having survived the ordeal, his steps unsteady.

In the vast, empty hall, only Lin Fan remained.

She gave a big stretch, her joints letting out a series of crisp cracks. The perfect curves beneath the Mythic-grade Skin were on full display.

“Three days…”

Lin Fan sniffed her wrist. Although it still carried the faint, sweet scent of a young girl, for a neat freak like her, she had reached the limit of her tolerance.

“Xiaoxiao,” she called out toward the door.

“I’m here, Sister.”

Almost as soon as the words left her lips, Su Xiaoxiao, dressed in a cute JK uniform, trotted in.

Lin Fan waved her hand, her tone languid. “Go, fill the bath.”

“Yes, Sister!”

Su Xiaoxiao immediately went to carry out the order.

The previous owner of this mansion had also known how to enjoy life. The bath was enormous, paved with white jade, and hot spring water gushed from the mouth of a stone carving sculpted into a tiger’s head. The entire bath was shrouded in mist, almost large enough to be used as a small swimming pool.

Soon, Su Xiaoxiao returned to report.

“Sister, the water is ready.”

Lin Fan nodded, and the two of them went to the bathroom.

Su Xiaoxiao naturally stepped forward and began to help Lin Fan undress.

The black gothic long dress, the intricate lace trim, the cool touch of the black silk stockings… one by one, the garments were carefully removed by the young girl and folded neatly on a soft couch nearby.

When the final layer of restraint was gone, a flawless, jade-like body, as if crafted by the gods, was revealed to the air.

Lin Fan, barefoot, walked down the warm, smooth jade steps and slowly slid into the water.

“Hah…”

The warm spring water instantly enveloped every inch of her skin, washing away the fatigue from days of travel and acting.

Splash.

Su Xiaoxiao also shed her clothes and slipped into the water after her, holding a soft loofah and obediently coming up behind Lin Fan.

“Sister, let me wash your back.”

“Mm.”

Lin Fan closed her eyes, enjoying the girl’s meticulous service.

The warm spring water, the gentle scrubbing, and the faint steam that filled the air allowed her mind to completely relax.

After they finished bathing, the two wrapped themselves in large bathrobes and returned to the master bedroom.

The room had been redecorated by Su Xiaoxiao. The original gaudy decorations had been removed and replaced with soft carpets and warm lighting. There was even soothing incense burning in the air.

It was a style Lin Fan liked.

“You’ll sleep with me tonight.” Lin Fan lay on the soft, large bed and patted the spot beside her.

“Yes, Sister.” Su Xiaoxiao’s cheeks flushed slightly as she obediently lay down beside Lin Fan like a docile kitten.

The night was deep and silent.

Lin Fan looked at Su Xiaoxiao, whose even breathing indicated she was already asleep, and the corner of her mouth curled into a playful arc.

She sat up and waved her hand.

Clatter—

With a crisp sound, the various craftsman creations “confiscated” from Jiji instantly piled up, covering half of the large bed.

The Staffs inlaid with Lightning Crystal Cores… under the soft light, they glowed with a luster that was both bizarre and full of artistic sense.

“Mmm…”

The noise startled Su Xiaoxiao awake. She sat up, rubbing her drowsy eyes.

When she got a clear look at the strange things on the bed, she was completely stunned.

“Sis… Sister, what are these?” she asked curiously, picking up something that looked like a kind of cane, her small face a picture of confusion.

“Spoils of war,” Lin Fan said, sitting cross-legged on the bed. She casually picked up the most classic one. “I’ve discovered that the spirit of craftsmanship in this world is very much worth studying.”

“The spirit of craftsmanship?” Su Xiaoxiao was even more bewildered.

“Look at this.” A wisp of Spiritual power flowed from Lin Fan’s fingertip and into the “Staff.”

Bzzzt—

The Staff instantly had a spiritual power reaction, and the purple crystal at its tip flickered with fine arcs of electricity.

Su Xiaoxiao was startled, nearly dropping the object in her hand.

“Wow!” Her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered a new continent. “Sister, it moves on its own! And it glows! It’s so magical!”

“This is a very ingenious rune circuit design,” Lin Fan began to explain with a straight face. “It can convert the violent energy in the Lightning Crystal Core into a very gentle, weak electric current. It’s used to stimulate the nerves and can have the effect of relaxing muscles and improving circulation.”

“Promote blood circulation and remove stasis?” Su Xiaoxiao blinked her large, amber eyes, looking at Lin Fan with a worshipful expression. “Sister, you know so much!”

“Of course.” Lin Fan was inwardly delighted, but her face maintained a scholarly seriousness.

She put down the one in her hand and picked up another model.

“This one is even more impressive.” Lin Fan handed the new model to Su Xiaoxiao. “Feel it. Are the materials used on the two ends different?”

Su Xiaoxiao touched it curiously and then exclaimed, “They are! Sister, the temperatures of the two ends are different!”

“That’s right.” Lin Fan snapped her fingers. “These are two materials with completely different properties, connected by a rune structure similar to hydraulic transmission. It can provide ice and fire dual stimulation simultaneously.”

“That’s… that’s amazing!” Student Xiaoxiao was completely won over by the craftsman city’s black technology. “The craftsman who invented these things must be a genius!”

Seeing her pure expression full of reverence for “science,” Lin Fan almost burst out laughing.

What a simple girl…

“Although these technologies have been used for improper purposes, the technology itself is not at fault,” Lin Fan concluded righteously. “As successors, we must take its essence, discard its dross, and apply these exquisite crafting skills to areas that truly benefit the people!”

“Mhm, mhm!” Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, her eyes, fixed on Lin Fan, filled with sparkling little stars. “Sister is right!”

…..

“Eeeeeee!”

“Ohohoho….”

……

That night, the lights in the new master of Azurewood City’s residence burned brightly.

One tirelessly explained “the spirit of craftsmanship” and “methods of use.”

The other absorbed the “new knowledge” like a sponge, letting out gasps of sudden realization from time to time.

It wasn’t until the sky began to pale in the east that this unique academic seminar came to an end.

Lin Fan casually swept these “works of art” into her System Space and yawned.

Beside her, Su Xiaoxiao had long since fallen into an exhausted sleep.

She walked to the window, pushed it open, and the cool morning breeze completely woke her up.

There were ten days until the next Rift opened.

Time was still tight.

Most critically, she couldn’t return to Blue Star right now.

The Rift in Azurewood City could only accommodate level fives, and her true strength was too great; even wearing a random Skin would exceed the limit.

The level six passage in Border Dragon City was an option, but she was currently in her “Long Wu” identity. Having just bid farewell to her cheap dad, she couldn’t just run back the next day and say, “I’m homesick.”

“Looks like I’ll have to think of another way.”
