Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 264 – Who Can Stand This?

In the steam-filled room, the air seemed to have frozen.

Jiateng Hezi’s eyes, shimmering with a hazy luster, stared down at Lin Fan, who was kneeling on a cattail cushion before her.

Her completely naked body glowed like ivory under the warm yellow light. If one were to ignore the action she was currently performing, it would indeed be a strikingly beautiful portrait of a belle.

“Come, open your mouth.”

Jiateng Hezi’s voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, carrying an undeniable hypnotic magic.

Lin Fan kept his head down, but a flicker of extremely complex conflict flashed through his peach-blossom eyes, which had been feigning the look of an innocent, frightened fawn.

Endure the humiliation for a greater cause?

For the sake of figuring out this woman’s core secret to energy conversion, for the grand plan of mass-producing an army of Evolved beings, sacrificing a bit of his looks seemed like a reasonable return on investment.

But…

Lin Fan’s gaze shifted slightly upward, sweeping over the part of her that was rather glaring even at this distance. A smell he couldn’t get rid of lingered at the tip of his nose.

Who the hell could stand this?

“What? You don’t want to evolve anymore?” Seeing Lin Fan’s lack of movement, Jiateng Hezi frowned slightly, her voice turning a few degrees colder. “This is a gift from the gods. Countless people beg for it on their knees and never receive it.”

Sha Zhi, who was digesting energy nearby, also opened her eyes. She stared fervently at Lin Fan and urged impatiently, “Ruyan! What are you hesitating for! Don’t keep the Divine Envoy waiting!”

Lin Fan took a deep breath.

“Um… Divine Envoy.”

Lin Fan suddenly looked up. The cowardice and fear on his beautiful face vanished in an instant, replaced by an incredibly bizarre smile.

Jiateng Hezi froze.

She had never seen such an expression on a believer’s face. It wasn’t fervor, nor was it fear, but a kind of… affectionate concern one might show a moron?

“I think you might be a little overheated.”

Lin Fan’s voice was crisp and pleasant, echoing in the spacious Japanese-style room.

“What did you say—” Jiateng Hezi’s pupils abruptly shrank.

However, before she could finish her sentence, the young woman in her vision, who had been as meek as a little white rabbit, suddenly moved.

There was no flashy wind-up, no roar before unleashing an ultimate move.

There was only a fair, slender fist that looked completely harmless, rapidly enlarging in her pupils.

“Thud!”

A dull thud of flesh hitting flesh rang out.

The punch landed squarely on the area below Jiateng Hezi’s flat abdomen.

She had no time to react at all.

This level-five powerhouse, who was high and mighty in the eyes of her believers, like a god descended to the mortal realm, was sent flying like an inflatable doll hit by a truck, tracing a graceful arc upward.

Splash!

A huge splash of water shot more than three meters into the air.

Jiateng Hezi crashed heavily into the exquisitely designed hot spring pool. The originally calm water surface instantly turned murky, and a few floating rose petals were shattered by the churning currents.

“Ah—!”

A blood-curdling scream finally erupted from the hot spring pool.

“You’re insane! How dare you blaspheme the Divine Envoy!”

Sha Zhi, at the side, only just now realized what had happened. Her eyes widened, her face a mask of incredulous terror and fury.

The noble Divine Envoy who granted them power, who represented Amaterasu walking the earth, had just been… hit?

“I’ll kill you! I’ll tear you to pieces!”

Having just advanced to level three, Sha Zhi’s body was now filled with berserk power.

With a furious roar, her eyes turned crimson. Like a crazed leopardess, she shot up from the tatami mat, spread her hands, her nails growing three inches long, and lunged straight for Lin Fan’s face with a gust of foul, yellowish wind.

To an ordinary person, the speed of a level-three Evolved being was already a blur.

But in Lin Fan’s eyes…

It was too slow.

And…

Lin Fan frowned. He merely leaned his body slightly to the side, not even moving his feet half a step, and effortlessly dodged Sha Zhi’s hate-filled strike.

As her attack missed, Sha Zhi was about to turn and pounce again when she felt a hand rest lightly on the back of her neck.

“Although I admire your loyalty.”

Lin Fan’s voice sounded by her ear, his tone carrying an undisguised hint of disgust. “But could you please stay a little farther away from me? The smell from your mouth… is really too strong.”

Bzzmm—!

A terrifying surge of Mental Strength instantly blasted into Sha Zhi’s brain.

Before Sha Zhi could even scream, her eyes rolled back. Her body went as limp as a pile of mud, and she collapsed onto the tatami mat with a thud, foaming at the mouth, completely unconscious.

After dealing with the crazed fan, Lin Fan didn’t even bother to give her a second glance. He grabbed a towel from a nearby rack and leisurely wiped the fingers that had just touched the back of Sha Zhi’s neck.

“Splash…”

The sound of water came again.

A disheveled Jiateng Hezi stood up from the hot spring pool.

Her exquisitely styled bun had completely come undone. Wet strands of long hair stuck to her face, and a few golden hairpins dangled crookedly from her ears.

On her once-fair abdomen, there was now a clearly visible purplish-red fist print, a shocking sight to behold.

“Who… Who are you?!”

Jiateng Hezi clutched the critical area that had just been punched, her still-charming face now filled with pain and horror.

She stared intently at the young woman wiping her hands not far away, the arrogance in her eyes long gone, replaced by a fear of the unknown.

“Who I am isn’t important.”

Lin Fan tossed the towel aside, stuck his hands in the pockets of his tight linen robe, and a playful curve appeared on his lips as he walked toward the hot spring pool step by step. “What’s important is, Divine Envoy, your body… seems a little weak, doesn’t it?”

It was a very incongruous scene.

A young woman in a coarse linen robe was closing in on a completely naked, level-five powerhouse.

But at this moment, the power dynamic in the room had completely reversed.

Jiateng Hezi felt the pressure.

It was the chilling sensation of being locked onto by a top predator.

“Insolence! I am the proxy of the great god Amaterasu! I am a level-five Evolved being!”

Jiateng Hezi shrieked, as if trying to dispel the fear in her heart with the sound of her voice.

She abruptly raised her hands, and the surrounding air instantly grew viscous.

Bzzm!

A massive mental wave erupted with her at its center.

The full might of a level-five Evolved being was unleashed without reservation.

If it were an ordinary level-two Evolved being, or even a level-three, they probably wouldn’t even be able to stand firm under this pressure.

But Lin Fan merely raised an eyebrow.

“Hmm… The total energy is indeed level-five, that’s correct.”

Lin Fan sounded like a picky customer evaluating a defective product, his pace not even pausing for a second. “But this control… Are you playing with mud with your mind?”

It was too crude.

In the eyes of a grandmaster like Lin Fan who played with Mental Strength, Jiateng Hezi’s attack was riddled with flaws.

She was like a child holding a machine gun. Although she had a powerful weapon, she didn’t even know how to release the safety, only capable of bludgeoning people with the stock.

Jiateng Hezi was thoroughly enraged by Lin Fan’s contemptuous gaze.

She swung her hands violently, and the mental power filling the air materialized into psychic needles, shooting toward Lin Fan like a pear blossom storm.

“Die!”
