Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 427 – Becoming a Mermaid

Ten thousand meters high in the sky.

Lin Fan stepped through the void.

Her toes touched the clouds, stirring a current of air.

Her original direction was the Black House in the western country, but after flying for less than half an hour, she stopped.

She pulled out the communicator from her chest.

“Chu Chen.”

The sound of keyboard clacking immediately came through the communicator.

“Encountering resistance?”

“No.” Lin Fan looked down at the thick sea of clouds beneath her feet. “Send me the approximate coordinates of Chen Dingjun’s secret base in the Pacific. I’ll go take a look there first.”

Chu Chen’s typing paused for a second.

“Changed your mind? The energy fluctuations of the spatial rift in the western country are intensifying. High-tier Dragon Clan combatants could descend at any moment.”

“Even if I arrive two days late, they won’t be able to turn the tide.” Lin Fan’s tone was casual. “Since it’s on the way, I might as well go fishing in the sea first. That old man Chen Dingjun created so many disgusting stitched abominations—his lair must be hiding plenty of good materials.”

“We haven’t pinpointed the exact location yet, but the possible range has been sent to your device.”

Chu Chen didn’t ask further and directly executed the order.

“Keep an eye on western Sichuan.”

Lin Fan hung up the communicator and tucked it back in.

She turned and flew east.

Crossing the edge of the land, a vast expanse of blue came into view.

The Pacific Ocean.

In both of her lifetimes combined, Lin Fan had never truly seen the sea.

Before the post-apocalypse, he was a cripple confined to a wheelchair. After the apocalypse, she was too busy fighting for survival and leveling up to have any leisure for sightseeing.

Looking at the endless ocean, she suddenly missed the fat-headed fish in the Spirit Lake of the elves.

That ancient Dunkleosteus at the mid-seventh rank.

Tens of millions of years ago, its ancestors fell into the lake of the Forest of Elves through a spatial rift. Through generations of reproduction and change, the entire clan had dwindled to just this one lone survivor, trapped in that lake.

If she could bring it to the oceans of Blue Star, with its massive size and ferocious bite force, it would absolutely be a top-tier apex predator of the seas.

She’d have to open a portal there sometime and bring the fat-headed fish over for a stroll.

Lin Fan accelerated into a dive.

Rеαⅾ оո KatRеаdіոɡСаfе

The wind roared past her ears.

The sea surface rapidly expanded in her vision.

She arrived near the coordinate waters marked by Chu Chen.

Aside from churning waves, there was no land or island in sight.

Not a trace of artificial structures could be detected.

The secret base had to be underwater.

Lin Fan hovered ten meters above the sea surface.

The sea breeze ruffled the hem of her cyan hanfu skirt.

She glanced down at the outfit.

She liked the style, and the fabric was comfortable.

But diving into the sea would definitely dirty and ruin it.

She reached down and removed her skirt and undergarments. The cyan hanfu and her white embroidered cloth shoes were neatly folded and stored into her System Space.

She was now completely naked.

Her jade-white skin radiated a healthy, alluring sheen under the sunlight.

The golden-ratio curves of her waist and hips were exposed to the air, her muscle lines concealing terrifying explosive power.

Lin Fan closed her eyes, feeling the surging blood within her body.

The Fragmented Progenitor of Life Bloodline flowed through her.

The greatest trait of this bloodline was its extreme compatibility.

She activated the bloodline of the Mermaid Queen Hathaway, which was fused deep within her body.

Her body began to change.

Her long, slender legs quickly pressed together.

Bones emitted crisp sounds of restructuring.

Muscles stretched, and fine scales emerged across her skin.

The entire process was painless, instead bringing a sense of genetic-level expansion.

Her legs completely disappeared, transforming into a massive fish tail three meters long.

Her fishtail was streamlined, its surface covered in pure white scales.

Sunlight struck them, refracting a brilliant, pearl-like halo of light.

Her caudal fin was broad, swaying gently with the sea breeze—a single flick could tear through the air.

Above the waist, her skin remained fair and delicate.

Several exquisitely crafted, wide white scales crept downward from her collarbones, just barely shielding the swell of her chest.

Beneath her abdomen, similarly inverted-triangle white scales had grown, perfectly covering her most private areas.

Primitive wildness and ultimate sanctity were fused together in this form.

Lin Fan lowered her head to examine her new shape.

Her fishtail slapped against the void, producing a sharp crack.

Perfect.

She twisted her waist.

Splash.

She dove headfirst into the deep blue seawater.

Sending up a spray of white foam.

The moment she entered the water, the classical updo she’d pinned with a hair clasp came completely undone.

Her flowing, pure white hair drifted backward under the water’s force, winding around her pale back and waist.

Lin Fan opened her eyes.

Nebulae swirled within her black pupils—her Iridescent Astral Eyes could clearly perceive everything even in the dim underwater light.

She didn’t use Mental Strength to create a water-repelling barrier.

The icy seawater pressed directly against her skin and scales.

She discovered she didn’t need to breathe through her mouth at all.

The Merfolk Empress Bloodline allowed her skin to directly filter and absorb oxygen from the water.

At the same time, her innate affinity for water elements let her draw Spirit Energy directly from the sea to sustain her bodily functions.

A gentle flick of her tail.

Water glided smoothly over the surface of her scales.

Lin Fan transformed into a white arrow, shooting fiercely toward the deep sea.

Faster than her full sprint on land.

This sensation of being perfectly attuned to the currents felt utterly novel to her.

She began to frolic joyfully in the shallows.

Sometimes bursting out of the surface with a column of water, sometimes diving and tumbling.

Her pure white form left trails of afterimages through the deep blue sea.

After playing for over ten minutes.

Lin Fan stopped.

Her tail ceased its motion, and she hovered suspended in the water.

She looked downward.

The color of the deep sea grew darker and darker.

From light blue to deep blue, and then to pitch black below.

She could sense that the concentration of Spirit Energy in the ocean far exceeded that on land.

This vast expanse of water had nurtured an ecosystem even more savage than the land’s.

She continued to dive.

The water pressure began to multiply.

But to Lin Fan, whose physical strength approached fifty thousand points, it meant nothing at all.

Two hundred meters.

Five hundred meters.

One thousand meters.

All light around her had vanished completely.

For ordinary people, this was an absolute zone of darkness.

But Lin Fan’s Omniscient Domain allowed her to see underwater as clearly as in daylight.

A massive shadow swam past in the distance.

It was a giant mutated shark over fifty meters in length.

Its body was covered in sharp bone spurs, its once-smooth skin transformed into pitted, hardened keratin layers.

Its enormous maw gaped open, filled with half-meter-long fangs.

A peak fifth-rank Mutated Beast.

Behind it followed a school of equally mutated sea monsters.

The law of the jungle in the ocean was more direct and more terrifying than on land.

Size was the most straightforward measure of combat power.

Rеad oո КαtReαdіոɡСαfе

Anyone with thalassophobia who witnessed this scene would probably have died on the spot.

The mutated shark keenly sensed Lin Fan’s presence.

To deep-sea creatures, Lin Fan’s faintly glowing, petite form was the perfect little snack.

It swung its massive tail, churning up a powerful undercurrent, and charged at Lin Fan with its jaws wide open.

Lin Fan didn’t even bother to dodge.

Watching the enormous maw—large enough to swallow a truck—close in, a flicker of mockery gleamed in her eyes.

The terrifying pressure of the Ancestor of Life rippled outward through the seawater in an instant.

The water jolted violently.

The mutated shark, which had surged to within ten meters of Lin Fan, suddenly froze mid-motion, its massive body going rigid.

The supreme class suppression from the depths of its bloodline filled this bloodthirsty sea monster of low intelligence with the terror of death.

It thrashed desperately, trying to brake, but the sheer momentum carried it forward, sliding helplessly closer.

Lin Fan let out a cold sneer.

Her enormous white tail whipped upward, carving a distinct vacuum line through the water.

It slammed squarely into the mutated shark’s hardened jaw.

Thud.

A dull, thunderous impact detonated across the seafloor.

Shockwaves rippled wildly outward.

The fifty-meter-long giant mutated shark had its entire head obliterated by that single tail strike.

Bone and flesh churned together, erupting into a massive cloud of blood in the seawater.

A Level 5 Crystal Core, glowing with a blue light, tumbled out from the shredded remains.

Lin Fan reached out, caught the crystal core, and casually tossed it into her System Space.

The swarm of mutated sea monsters that had been trailing behind the shark, hoping to scavenge leftovers, felt the terrifying burst of energy and immediately reversed course, fleeing in a frenzy.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished into the pitch-black depths.

The deep sea fell silent.

Lin Fan swam through this stretch of ocean for a long time, yet found no trace of any anomalous structures.

“This is getting tricky. It’s not like I can just nuke the entire Pacific, can I?”
