Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 413 – The Awareness of a Wage Slave

“Lu Yuan.”

Lin Fan’s smile faded.

Her white hair drifted gently in the wind, her saintly bearing perfectly in place.

Lu Yuan straightened up by reflex.

Chen Mo also immediately puffed out his chest.

“Boss lady, at your command!” Lu Yuan answered loudly.

Lin Fan pointed at the mountain of mutated demonic creature corpses in the distance.

“Those twenty-some thousand low-level mutated beast Crystals—dig every single one out, not a single one missing. Keep them all for me.”

Lin Fan’s tone was calm, yet carried an unyielding authority.

“Azurewood City is desperate for Crystals right now. Every cannon shot over there burns through them. Be quick and thorough.”

“Understood!”

Lu Yuan slapped his chest in assurance.

“I’ll personally lead the team to dig them out. I guarantee not even a Crystal fragment will be left behind. Anyone who dares to pocket any—I’ll break their legs.”

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction, then turned her gaze to the thousands of former Federation soldiers standing frozen in place.

These people had just been freed from Wang Shan’s puppet control. Though they had personally beaten Guangtou Qiang to a pulp, their eyes still showed confusion about the future and instinctive awe toward Lin Fan.

“As for you all…”

Lin Fan raised her voice slightly, ensuring it reached every corner of the square.

“Your minds are clear now. You should know who pulled you out of that living hell.”

A stir ran through the crowd. Many knelt on the spot, gazing at Lin Fan with fanatical eyes.

The healing of the Life Domain wasn’t just physical—that life force infusion that reached the very depths of the soul had already planted seeds of faith in their subconscious.

“I’m giving you a choice now.”

Lin Fan raised her hand, pointing at the steadily glowing Spatial Rift in the center of the training ground.

“Through that rift is Azurewood City. The coordinates there have been fixed, so no need to worry about being randomly teleported into a pile of demonic creatures like before. Those willing to follow me to Azurewood City—line up and head through while the rift is still open.”

Lin Fan paused, her gaze sweeping over those who looked hesitant.

“Those who want to stay on Blue Star, I won’t stop you. Western Sichuan Base needs defenders too. The decision is yours. I won’t force anyone.”

The moment she finished, the crowd erupted.

“I’m going with Lei Jie! Those bastards in the Federation never treated us like people. Staying here, who knows when we’ll get grabbed for experiments again!”

A scar-faced man stood up, shouting at the top of his lungs.

“That’s right! To Azurewood City! Lei Jie saved our lives—from now on, our lives belong to Lei Jie!”

Voices of agreement rang out one after another.

The vast majority of soldiers made their choice without hesitation.

Having witnessed the darkness of the Federation’s upper echelons and personally seen Lei Li display the divine might of a god, anyone with half a brain knew which leg to hug.

Of course, a small number chose to stay in Western Sichuan, whether for family or attachment to their homeland.

Lin Fan watched the crowd split apart, inwardly overjoyed.

Whether they left or stayed, they were all excellent labor for her.

Azurewood City needed people for infrastructure and to fill out combat strength against the Dragon Clan’s lower ranks.

Blue Star needed people to sweep the wastelands and gather resources.

Either way, they were all spinning within her domain—not a single drop of Power of Faith would escape.

“Chen Mo, you take charge of organizing those who stay. Lu Yuan, arrange people to guide the group heading to Azurewood City, and pack up the Crystals for me while you’re at it.”

Lin Fan gave the orders casually.

“Don’t worry, Sister Lei. We’ll get it done properly!”

The two acknowledged in unison and immediately turned to organize their teams.

Watching the bustling activity around her, Lin Fan propped her chin on one hand, her gaze drifting toward the direction Chu Chen had gone.

That guy—always sporting dark circles under his eyes and chewing on gummy candies—had a brain that was anything but ordinary.

Comprehending a Domain at the second rank.

Even if he could only maintain it for an instant, that computational power that directly datafied and analyzed the physical laws of the real world was essentially a super biocomputer.

Lin Fan recalled the intricate streams of data she’d seen under the Omniscient Domain earlier and couldn’t help licking her lips.

If she could talk that guy into coming to Azurewood City and serving as her chief strategist…

Those Dragon Clan members from the other world—simple-minded, relying only on brute force and bloodline suppression—wouldn’t even know how they died if they ran into a cunning old fox like Chu Chen.

“Chu Chen’s computational power, plus my abilities, plus all the high-tier combat strength I’ve recruited along the way…”

Lin Fan rapidly crunched the numbers in her head.

“This combination is an absolute killing blow.”

But that guy was highly guarded right now.

She couldn’t push too hard.

Lin Fan stretched lazily, her perfect figure fully outlined beneath her long dress.

Her thoughts drifted further and further.

Thinking about fighting the Dragon Clan inevitably brought her mind to the one lying at the bottom of the lake in the Forest of Elves.

The Dragon Clan Ancestor, Long Xi.

A peak ninth-rank existence.

Even wounded and on the verge of death, she was still a Legendary-grade treasure.

It was just that the fusion conditions were ridiculously demanding.

A full two hundred Epic-grade Skins.

“Two hundred…”

Lin Fan muttered under her breath, her fingers tracing idly along the hem of her skirt.

“Even scraping the entire Forest of Elves clean only yielded a few. Looks like this trip back to Blue Star won’t just be about dealing with those fools in the Federation—I’ll need to visit other Spatial Rifts too. With over a hundred gates, I’m bound to find enough materials.”

As long as she could gather two hundred Epic-grade Skins and fuse with Long Xi.

Space-Time Sovereign. Dragon God Physique.

Combined with her current Life Domain and Heart of Envy.

Then even if she went head-to-head against Long Hao, she could fight him head-on.

Blue Star and the other world would both become her absolute Divine Kingdom.

Ascend to godhood.

A true god.

At the thought of that image, the corners of Lin Fan’s mouth curled up uncontrollably, and she nearly drooled.

She quickly coughed twice and discreetly wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.

She smoothed down her smoky-gray iridescent silk gown, making sure she remained that aloof, untouchable, perfect goddess.

“Lu Yuan, I’m leaving this to you. Have Zhou Ming open a gate every now and then to transport things.”

Lin Fan called out to Lu Yuan, who was directing the crew in hauling the Demonic Creature corpses.

“You got it, Boss! Go get some rest! This little stuff is no problem for me!”

Lu Yuan turned back with a grin, flashing a row of white teeth.

Lin Fan turned and walked toward the exclusive high-end suite prepared for her deep within the base.

Pushing open the door, the room had already been cleaned to spotless perfection.

Lin Fan kicked off her high heels, stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet, and threw herself directly onto the spacious double bed.

The plush bedding instantly enveloped her.

Lin Fan rolled over and stared at the ceiling.

For now, the crisis at the Western Sichuan base was temporarily resolved.

As for Wang Shan, the Federation appeasement faction member who had instigated this civil war, and Chen Dingjun, the diehard faction leader who dabbled in human body stitching…

“Let them keep hopping around for another couple of days.”

Lin Fan let out a cold laugh.

At her current cultivation level of mid-stage Level Eight, if she activated the Heart of Envy, her Mental Strength would instantly break through the hundred-thousand mark.

With Mental Strength scanning at full capacity, she could cover a radius of a hundred miles.

No matter how deeply Wang Shan and Chen Dingjun hid, they were nothing but transparent targets in her eyes.

There was no need to rush around the world searching for people.

At worst, she could just wake up, activate her Domain, and bulldoze her way from western Sichuan all the way to the Federation headquarters.

Literally plowing the ground.

Anyone who disobeyed would be struck dead on the spot.

Women with potential would be kept as Skin, while the men would be burned to ash.

In this post-apocalypse where power decided everything, she, Lei Li, was the only law.

Lin Fan closed his eyes, preparing to sleep.

Suddenly, a strange expression crossed his face.

This feeling… it was very similar to when he had first fused with Long Yue.

“This old woman’s obsession is really something else.”

Lin Fan gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, but the work at hand was only just beginning.
