Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 263 – So This Is High Purity Original Pulp

Passing through the long corridor, the mixed smell of disinfectant and cheap incense in the air finally dissipated, replaced by a faint scent of sulfur and cherry blossoms.

If not for the gloomy gray sky outside, Lin Fan would have thought she had traveled back to some high-end hot spring resort before the apocalypse.

Jiateng Hezi walked ahead, her wooden geta clacking against the wooden floor with a crisp, rhythmic sound.

“Come in.”

Jiateng Hezi stopped before a sliding door painted with ukiyo-e and gently pulled it open.

What came into view was a Japanese-style room of about two hundred square meters.

The floor was covered with exquisite tatami mats, and there was a flower arrangement in the corner. Most absurdly, one side of the room was a massive floor-to-ceiling glass wall. Although outside was a pitch-black underground rock face, carefully designed lighting and landscaping had managed to create the tranquil feeling of a dry landscape garden.

And in the very center of the room, steam was rising.

It was a private bath fed by a geothermal hot spring, its edge piled with cobblestones, and a few flower petals floated on the water’s surface.

“Wow…”

Sha Zhi let out an unsophisticated gasp of amazement. Her whole body trembled, and she quickly lowered her head as if another glance would be a profanity.

“This is the place closest to the great god Amaterasu.”

Jiateng Hezi turned around, a compassionate yet superior smile on her face. She walked to the soft cushion at the head seat and sat down.

“Sha Zhi.”

Her voice echoed in the spacious room, carrying a slight tremor of Mental Strength.

“Yes! Lady Divine Envoy!” Sha Zhi’s voice trembled with excitement.

“You have been here for three months.”

Jiateng Hezi toyed with the golden folding fan in her hand, her gaze falling on Sha Zhi’s trembling shoulders. “From an ordinary girl who didn’t even dare to kill a chicken, you reached Level Two within three months. The great god has seen your piety.”

“This is all thanks to the Lady Divine Envoy’s grace! Sha Zhi is willing to sacrifice everything for the great god!” Sha Zhi abruptly raised her head, her eyes filled with fanatical, bloodshot veins.

“Very good.”

Jiateng Hezi nodded in satisfaction, then her gaze shifted to Lin Fan beside her.

In that instant, Lin Fan felt like a piece of merchandise being appraised from head to toe.

“As for you… Miss Liu Ruyan.”

A meaningful curve appeared on Jiateng Hezi’s lips. “Your aptitude is the best I have ever seen. Even in the entire Federation, aside from those Chosen Ones, you would probably be among the top tier, wouldn’t you?”

Lin Fan’s body trembled. She timidly raised her head, her large, watery eyes filled with innocence. “Lady Divine Envoy… I… I just want to survive.”

“Survive?”

Jiateng Hezi chuckled softly. She stood up and, barefoot, walked across the tatami mats to stand before Lin Fan. She extended a finger and lifted Lin Fan’s chin.

“This face, this figure, tsk tsk… It truly makes even me envious.”

Jiateng Hezi’s fingertip brushed across Lin Fan’s cheek, a flash of naked possessiveness in her eyes. “Stay by my side and be my personal handmaiden. I will grant you power and make you a being second to one and above ten thousand in this new world. Are you willing?”

Lin Fan rolled her eyes internally.

Second to one?

You mean under you, right?

But this didn’t stop her from putting on an act.

“Can… can I really?” Tears instantly welled up in Lin Fan’s eyes, her expression one of being overwhelmed by the favor. “As long as the Lady Divine Envoy does not disdain me… Ruyan is willing!”

“Good girl.”

Jiateng Hezi released her, seemingly very satisfied with Lin Fan’s tact.

She walked back to the edge of the hot spring and, with her back to the two, slowly spread her arms.

“Today, to reward Sha Zhi’s loyalty and to welcome Ruyan’s joining…”

Jiateng Hezi’s voice suddenly became somewhat deep, imbued with a strange solemnity. “I shall bestow upon you the Holy Water of the highest purity.”

“High-purity Holy Water!”

Sha Zhi sucked in a sharp breath, so shocked she could barely stand.

Lin Fan narrowed her eyes, her Mental Strength quietly probing outward.

In the next second, however, Jiateng Hezi reached out and untied the sash at her waist.

The wide, white Divine Robe slid down her smooth shoulders like peeling lily petals.

And beneath that Divine Robe…

She was wearing absolutely nothing.

What the hell is this development?

Although the woman’s figure was indeed excellent, curvy in all the right places, her skin flushed pink from the hot spring’s steam, but… isn’t this sermon ritual a bit too hardcore?

“Sha Zhi.”

Jiateng Hezi paid no mind to the gazes of the two behind her, or rather, she enjoyed the feeling of being watched.

She tilted her head slightly, her hazy eyes looking at Sha Zhi, who was kneeling on the floor.

“Come here.”

Like a summoned puppy, Sha Zhi crawled over on her hands and knees. Only when she reached Jiateng Hezi’s feet did she piously stop, tilting her head up as if gazing at a deity.

“Open your mouth,” Jiateng Hezi commanded faintly.

Lin Fan: “???”

Wait a minute.

What the fuck…

“Thank you for the Divine Envoy’s grace!”

…….

…….

Lin Fan: “…”

So this is the so-called… high-purity Holy Water?

It really is fucking “Holy Water.”

However, something even more outrageous happened.

A halo of energy actually burst forth from within Sha Zhi’s body.

It wasn’t ordinary, dispersed Spirit Energy.

It was a special kind of energy, highly compressed and possessing extremely strong biological activity.

A scan with her Mental Strength revealed a dazzling golden ball of light in Jiateng Hezi’s abdomen.

This woman’s ability was actually to convert the free-roaming Spirit Energy she absorbed from the outside world and then expel it?

This is a fucking mobile, self-propelled Spirit Energy purification machine!

“Ngh…”

Sha Zhi’s skin began to turn red. Her aura, which had been stuck at the peak of Level Two, surged like a flood breaking through a dam.

Level Three!

Rеad оո KatReaⅾiոgСаfе

She really broke through!

And the breakthrough was incredibly smooth, without any side effects, as if this energy had always been a part of her body.

Jiateng Hezi’s body trembled slightly as she concluded the sermon.

She casually grabbed a nearby bath towel and wrapped it around her body, looking down at Sha Zhi, who was still digesting the energy, her eyes full of the arrogance of a benefactor.

“How does it feel?”

“Thank you, Lady Divine Envoy! Thank you, Lady Divine Envoy!”

Without bothering to wipe her mouth, Sha Zhi kowtowed frantically, her head thudding against the floor. “I feel full of power! I can tear apart any enemy for my god!”

“Very good.”

Jiateng Hezi nodded in satisfaction, then turned around. Her misty eyes locked onto Lin Fan, who was still standing in her original spot.

“Ruyan.”

Barefoot, she walked toward Lin Fan step by step, each one carrying a sense of pressure.

“I can see from your aura that you are also on the verge of a breakthrough.”

Jiateng Hezi walked up to Lin Fan and untied the bath towel she had just wrapped around herself. The unobstructed view was once again displayed before Lin Fan.

Only this time, Lin Fan found it an eyesore.

“As my personal handmaiden, being only Level Two won’t do.”

Jiateng Hezi reached out and gently stroked the top of Lin Fan’s head as if petting an animal.

“You come too.”
