Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 279 – Not a Drop Can Be Wasted

A biting cold wind blew through the highland night.

The chaos and slaughter that had lasted all night felt like a nightmare, dissipating as the hot spring pool ran dry.

On the battlefield, nearly ten thousand once-frenzied, bloodthirsty mutated soldiers now sat cross-legged in silence. Their expressions were calm, with no trace of their previous madness.

The mutations on their bodies had completely receded, though their auras were still somewhat weak.

Chu Chen crouched by the edge of the enormous, now-empty hot spring pool, holding a sophisticated portable analyzer.

On the screen, a complex stream of data flickered wildly.

“How is it?” Shi Ming leaned in, a trace of disbelief still on his face.

“Incredible…” Chu Chen murmured to himself. He pointed to a stable, almost perfect energy curve on the screen. “The Federation’s induction agent essentially uses chaotic, violent foreign spirit energy to forcibly catalyze the human body.”

He paused, looking up at the quietly seated soldiers with a gaze full of shock.

“But her Energy Potion… is the purest, most gentle aggregation of Spirit Energy I have ever seen. When it enters the body, it doesn’t expel the violent Spirit Energy. Instead, it forcibly soothes, sorts, and neutralizes it…”

Chu Chen took a deep breath, his tone laced with astonishment.

Standing to the side, Chen Mo, the commander of the Chuanxi Base, was utterly bewildered by the technical talk, but he knew one thing was enough.

He and all his brothers under his command had survived.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that the fifth-level power he possessed after surviving the ordeal was several times more condensed than before his mutation.

He walked up to Lin Fan and, without any hesitation, dropped to one knee with a thud.

“Chen Mo, on behalf of all the soldiers of the Chuanxi Base, I thank Miss Lei Li for saving our lives!” His voice was sonorous and heartfelt. “From this day forward, all of us soldiers are willing to die for you, Miss!”

As he knelt, the nearly ten thousand cured soldiers in the distance seemed to answer a call, lowering their heads in perfect unison, their eyes filled with fervent reverence.

It was not the fear one has for a powerful figure, but a devotion to a deity, originating from the depths of their souls.

Chu Chen watched this, a thoughtful glint flashing in his eyes.

This water was probably not just simple energy.

Lin Fan glanced at Chen Mo and waved her hand lazily. “Alright, get up. We’re all on the same side now, no need for these formalities.”

After speaking, she paid the crowd no more mind and turned to Sun Jing and Su Xiaoxiao behind her, beckoning with her finger.

“Let’s go. I’m dead tired after working all night. Time to go back to sleep.”

…

The room Chen Mo had prepared for Lin Fan was the most central and comfortable standalone barracks in the entire base.

Outside the massive floor-to-ceiling window was a boundless view of the highland snow-capped mountains.

The moment the door closed.

Sun Jing, who had been forcing herself to remain calm, could no longer hold it together.

She suddenly hugged Lin Fan from behind, burying her face deep in Lin Fan’s silver hair, her body trembling slightly with emotion.

“Lei Jie… I missed you so much…”

The girl’s voice was choked with sobs, full of grievance and longing.

Lin Fan’s body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed as she let out a somewhat helpless sigh.

She turned around to face her vice-captain, who had already grown to level six and was now crying her eyes out.

“What are you crying for? I’m back, aren’t I?” Lin Fan reached out, somewhat clumsily wiping away her tears, but the gesture was surprisingly gentle.

“I… I’m already level six, Lei Jie!” Sun Jing looked up, her red eyes glinting with a stubborn light. “I’m not a burden anymore! I can help you! Next time… next time you go to the other side of the Rift, take me with you, okay? I don’t want to just wait behind for you like before…”

Looking at her expectant eyes, Lin Fan fell silent for a moment.

Sun Jing’s healing talent was even stronger than she had anticipated. To break through to level six in such a short time would be considered genius-level even on the Dragon Spirit Continent.

Keeping her by her side would indeed make for an invaluable and powerful support.

“Alright,” Lin Fan nodded, a playful smile touching the corner of her lips. “But that world is far more dangerous than Blue Star. If you can’t keep up, I won’t wait for you.”

“I’ll definitely keep up!” Sun Jing’s tears turned to a smile as she nodded emphatically.

Su Xiaoxiao, watching from the side, quietly stuck out her tongue.

Big Sister’s gentleness was, as expected, reserved only for pretty girls.

The room had a ridiculously large bed, big enough for the three of them to roll around on.

Lin Fan threw herself onto the soft mattress, looking as if her bones had turned to jelly.

Sun Jing and Su Xiaoxiao followed suit, lying down on her left and right like two little kittens snuggling up to her.

“Xiaoxiao, that… Dragon Spirit Continent, what’s it really like?” Sun Jing, now completely relaxed, felt her curiosity getting the better of her. “Are there really different races that evolved from all sorts of animals?”

“Of course there are!” Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up as soon as the topic came up. “The Dragon Spirit Continent is huge! There are giant trees taller than mountains, races that live in the sky and in the water, and our Green Hill Village, which is a village of the fox clan!”

Su Xiaoxiao vividly recounted her experiences in the other world, from the bustling Border Dragon City to the eerie Mist Forest, and even the domineering Pureblood Dragon Clan.

Sun Jing listened, dumbfounded, gasping in surprise one moment and looking wistful the next, as if a door to a new world had been opened for her.

Lin Fan rested her head on her arms, her eyes closed, listening idly with a faint, almost imperceptible smile on her lips.

As she listened, she picked up a water glass from the table beside her and gulped it down.

One glass… two glasses… three glasses…

“Lei Jie, why are you drinking so much water?” Sun Jing asked, a little puzzled.

“Thirsty,” Lin Fan said succinctly.

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

She got up and lazily walked into the room’s luxurious en-suite bathroom.

The moment the door closed, the languid expression on Lin Fan’s face vanished.

She stood before the mirror, looking at the stunning figure reflected within, adorned with Dragon horns and a miko outfit.

Spirit Energy purification, activate!

As the Spirit Energy surged, Lin Fan could clearly feel the energy circulation system in her body operating at high speed.

The thin Spirit Energy absorbed from the land of the Chuanxi Base was drawn into her body, filtered and purified through multiple layers. Finally, streams of liquid containing pure life energy flowed along a special circulatory path and gathered in one place.

A few minutes later, Lin Fan walked out, looking refreshed.

In her hands were several glass vials filled with a high-purity energy liquid.

Looks like I’ll need to have containers ready at all times from now on. This is good stuff; not a single drop can be wasted.

She returned to the bed and placed the vials into her System Space.

Sun Jing and Su Xiaoxiao had already chatted themselves into a drowsy state, on the verge of sleep.

Lin Fan lay between them, feeling the warmth of the two girls’ bodies and listening to their even breathing, yet her heart was as cold as ice.

A global evolution…

A silent smile curved her lips.

Using this “Energy Potion” imbued with a mark of faith to usher in an era of global evolution…

In the end, what would be evolved?

A group of humans with free will?

Or a fanatical, divine legion… that existed only for her?
