Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 241 – The Daughter’s Army

The sun was high in the sky.

On the large, soft bed, Su Xiaoxiao’s eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her amber eyes.

Her whole body felt as if it had been taken apart and reassembled—sore, weak, and limp. Certain parts, in particular, still tingled with the afterglow of their ‘study of the spirit of craftsmanship’.

She turned her head to look beside her. Her elder sister was still sound asleep, her stunning sleeping face serene and peaceful. Her long, golden hair fanned out over half the bed like flowing gold.

Su Xiaoxiao quietly scooted closer to her sister, a sweet expression mixed with deep confusion appearing on her little face.

Last night… she and her sister had studied ‘the spirit of craftsmanship’ all night long.

While the various staffs had been a real eye-opener, she had also heard from the elder sisters in her clan that after doing this sort of thing, the next step… was apparently having a baby.

But her sister was a girl, too.

How could two girls have a baby?

Could it be that her sister had mastered some mysterious technique unknown to her, one that transcended the Laws of life?

The more Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and the look of adoration in her eyes as she gazed at Lin Fan deepened.

“Mmm…” Lin Fan let out a lazy hum and turned over, pulling Su Xiaoxiao into her embrace.

“You’re awake?” she asked, her eyes still closed, her voice raspy from sleep.

“Mhm… Sister.” Su Xiaoxiao’s face flushed red as she nestled obediently in Lin Fan’s arms. “Did Xiaoxiao wake you?”

“No.” Lin Fan opened her eyes and pinched her small face. “Did you sleep well?”

“Yes!” Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, then lowered her head shyly.

Seeing her innocent look, Lin Fan almost burst out laughing.

This silly girl.

Lin Fan sat up and, with a casual wave of her hand, several Level 5 Crystal Cores of different attributes appeared on the bed, emitting astonishing energy fluctuations.

“Sister, these are…” Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes instantly went wide.

“Eat them,” Lin Fan’s tone left no room for argument. “I want you to break through to Level 5 by the end of today.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Her current strength was Level 4, and that was only because her sister had granted her Crystals last time. Breaking through to Level 5 was an almost unattainable dream for a fox-kin like her with a mediocre Bloodline.

“But Sister, my talent…”

“Your talent isn’t that great,” Lin Fan cut her off, her tone calm. “Forcing your way up, your limit will probably be around Level 6. But, that’s good enough.”

Su Xiao… Xiaoxiao’s heart jolted.

Good enough.

Sister means I’m still useful.

That was all that mattered!

“Yes! Sister!” Su Xiaoxiao no longer hesitated. She grabbed a Level 5 Crystal Core, her eyes filled with determination. “Xiaoxiao will not disappoint you!”

She immediately sat cross-legged, opened her mouth, and swallowed a Crystal Core.

She began to frantically absorb its energy.

Immense energy surged into her body, and a tearing pain shot through her meridians, but Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and didn’t make a sound.

Because this was her sister’s command.

Lin Fan watched quietly from the side, not offering to help.

A flower raised in a greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain.

She needed things that were useful.

Time ticked by, and the number of Crystals dwindled.

From noon to dusk, the energy fluctuations in the room grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, at the moment the sun dipped below the horizon, a powerful aura erupted from within Su Xiaoxiao’s body!

Level 5!

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes snapped open. Feeling the unprecedented power within her, she trembled with excitement.

“Sister! I did it!” She looked at Lin Fan, her eyes brimming with tears.

“Mm, not bad.” Lin Fan nodded, her face betraying no emotion. “Go take a bath, change your clothes, and then call all dozen or so of the little foxes in the mansion here.”

“Yes, Sister!”

Though confused, Su Xiaoxiao immediately got up to carry out the order.

Half an hour later.

The mansion’s enormous basement was brightly lit.

Su Xiaoxiao led in a dozen or so fox-kin girls. Most of them were only Level 2 or Level 3. Staring at the vast, cold surroundings, they all appeared anxious and uneasy, shivering.

Lin Fan sat lazily on a lavish chair in the main seat, with the newly advanced and still somewhat unstable Su Xiaoxiao standing behind her.

“All of you, come here,” Lin Fan said faintly.

The girls dared not disobey. They walked before her timidly, their heads bowed, not daring to look at her.

“Raise your heads.”

Lin Fan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an irresistible authority.

The girls raised their heads, trembling. The moment they saw Lin Fan’s golden vertical pupils, which seemed to contain a sea of stars, their minds were instantly captivated.

“From this day forward, you have only one master: me.”

The instant Lin Fan’s words fell, her vast, ocean-like Mental Strength erupted!

Buzz!

One after another, invisible mental imprints, carrying the unique enchanting aura of the Nine-tailed celestial fox bloodline, pierced precisely into the depths of every fox-kin girl’s soul.

“Ah…”

The girls let out brief cries of pain, and then their eyes became dazed, struggled, and finally settled into a fanatical worship and absolute loyalty.

“We greet you, Sister!”

The dozen or so fox-kin girls knelt in unison, their movements so synchronized it was as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times.

“Rise.” Lin Fan was very satisfied with their reaction.

With a wave of her hand, a small mountain composed of various Crystals from Level 2 to Level 4 instantly appeared on the ground.

“These are all yours.” Lin Fan’s tone was still placid. “My requirement is simple. Before dawn, all of you must break through to Level 4.”

Staring at the small mountain of Crystals, all the fox-kin girls’ breathing stopped.

Reаⅾ οn KatRеαԁіngСаfe

They had never seen so many Crystals in their entire lives!

“Yes! Sister!”

Ecstasy and excitement instantly overwhelmed them. The girls no longer hesitated, immediately pouncing on the pile of Crystals and beginning to frantically absorb the energy.

For a time, the entire basement was shrouded in the light of various energies.

Lin Fan leaned back in her chair, watching everything quietly, the corner of her mouth curling into a cold arc.

Su Xiaoxiao watched the scene before her and finally couldn’t hold back her confusion. She asked in a small voice, “Sister, what… what are you doing?”

Lin Fan didn’t look at her, her gaze still fixed on the girls who were breaking through.

“I can no longer pass through the Rift at Azurewood City.”

“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback.

“My power is too strong; that passage can’t withstand it,” Lin Fan explained. “Even if I wear my weakest shell, it will still exceed the limit.”

Su Xiaoxiao finally understood.

“So…” She looked at her sisters who were desperately absorbing the Crystals, and a thought surfaced in her mind.

Lin Fan turned her head to look at her, a playful glint in her golden pupils.

“So, I need some people who can do things for me.”

“In ten days, the Rift will open again.”

“When that time comes, you, and them,” Lin Fan pointed at the fox-kin girls, “will go back to the other side of the Rift for me and bring my Crystals back.”
