Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 86 – Cooperation

Mao Shi’s gaze roamed wantonly over Lin Fan’s body.

The greed and possessiveness in his eyes were almost tangible.

Lin Fan’s face remained expressionless.

She even found it a little amusing.

It felt like another validation of this body’s charm.

However…

A validation was a validation.

But when a self-important fly buzzes around, trying to land on a cake, it deserves to be swatted dead.

“Mao Shi!”

Zhang Jie’s roar shattered Mao Shi’s fantasy.

He took a step forward, positioning himself between Lin Fan and Mao Shi, the longsword in his hand humming.

“Take back what you said.”

Zhang Jie’s voice was so cold it could turn to ice.

“Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I’ll make sure you leave here lying down.”

Mao Shi curled his lip in disdain.

“Just you?”

“Junior Brother, have you forgotten? Since we were kids, when have you ever beaten me?”

He walked around Zhang Jie and continued toward Lin Fan.

“Beauty, don’t mind this loser.”

“Come with me, and I’ll make you the queen of Jiang City.”

His steps halted less than three meters from Lin Fan.

A thick, musky scent of male hormones washed over her.

Lin Fan watched him quietly.

The cold, murderous intent in her eyes flashed for an instant.

But she didn’t move.

She wanted to see what Zhang Jie would do.

“You’re courting death!”

Zhang Jie’s anger was finally, completely ignited.

He wasted no more words. The longsword in his hand transformed into a streak of white light, stabbing straight for Mao Shi’s back.

Without even turning his head, Mao Shi threw a punch backward.

Clang!

The fist and the sword tip collided with a loud crash.

The impact forced Zhang Jie back three steps, his sword arm numb.

Mao Shi turned around, a mocking smile on his face.

“Junior Brother, your sword is still so weak and powerless.”

“It can’t even break my skin.”

Just as the words left his mouth.

An invisible force suddenly enveloped his entire body.

“Hmm?”

Mao Shi’s expression changed abruptly.

He felt as if he had sunk into a swamp; every movement of his body became incredibly heavy.

It was that woman!

Mao Shi’s gaze shot toward Lin Fan, who was standing not far away.

Lin Fan just stood there quietly, her black skirt swaying in the wind.

She hadn’t even lifted a hand.

She was merely watching him with those deep, unfathomable eyes.

“What the hell is this!”

Mao Shi roared, the muscles all over his body bulging, veins popping.

He gave a sudden, violent struggle.

He had forcibly broken free from the formless power.

But in that brief moment of stagnation.

Zhang Jie had already closed the distance again.

“Eight Direction Sword Sweep!”

Zhang Jie shouted, his longsword weaving a dense net of sword light.

Countless streaks of white Sword Qi slashed at Mao Shi from all directions.

Mao Shi had nowhere to dodge.

He could only cross his arms to protect his face.

“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”

A dense series of collisions rang out.

The Sword Qi exploded against Mao Shi’s body, sending sparks flying.

But still, it failed to break through his defense.

“Haha! It’s useless!”

Mao Shi lowered his arms, his face full of smug satisfaction.

“Junior Brother, your attacks are like scratching an itch for me.”

He had just finished speaking.

An even more terrifying pressure descended from the sky.

Boom!

Mao Shi’s legs gave out, and he fell to his knees uncontrollably.

His knees smashed two deep pits into the ground.

“You!”

Mao Shi lifted his head, staring daggers at Lin Fan.

He could feel that this power was several times stronger than before.

It was like an invisible mountain pressing down on him.

It was so heavy he couldn’t even stand up.

A cold arc formed on Lin Fan’s lips.

She took a step forward.

Then.

Under everyone’s shocked gazes.

Her body slowly, gently, began to float.

Rеαԁ оn КαtRеаԁіոgCαfе

The black figure hovered in mid-air.

Her high heels were half a meter off the ground.

The black skirt swayed gently in the air, like a blooming black lotus.

“She’s… she’s flying?”

Liu Qiang’s jaw dropped, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

The group of underlings Mao Shi had brought with him were so frightened they scrambled backward.

What… what kind of ability was this?

Zhang Jie was also stunned.

He stared blankly at Lin Fan floating in mid-air, his mind a complete blank.

Psychokinesis… could actually do something like this?

“Now,” Lin Fan spoke, her voice coming from above, carrying a trace of ethereal majesty.

“Do you still think you can make me go with you?”

Mao Shi gritted his teeth, every muscle in his body trembling.

He wanted to stand up.

But that invisible force pinned him down relentlessly.

His dignity, his pride, were utterly crushed in this moment.

“Argh!”

Mao Shi let out a roar of defiance.

He slammed a fist into the ground.

The ground cracked.

But still, he could not stand up.

Lin Fan didn’t look at him again.

Her gaze fell upon Zhang Jie.

“Now is the best chance.”

Zhang Jie instantly snapped back to his senses.

He glanced at the immobilized Mao Shi, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.

“Thank you!”

He took a deep breath and raised his longsword high.

The blade shone with brilliant white light.

“One Sword, Mountain Split!”

A beam of Sword Qi, more condensed than any before, shot out from the blade.

It flew straight for Mao Shi’s neck.

Mao Shi’s pupils contracted instantly.

He felt the threat of death.

In that instant, he unleashed all of his power.

“Get off me!”

He roared, forcibly pushing away the invisible pressure.

His body leaned back.

The Sword Qi grazed the tip of his nose and flew past, striking the ground behind him.

Boom!

A ten-meter-long, half-meter-deep gash was carved into the hard concrete ground.

Mao Shi broke out in a cold sweat.

He scrambled up from the ground, casting a wary glance at the levitating Lin Fan.

Then, he looked at Zhang Jie, who stood with his sword ready.

“Good… very good!”

He gritted his teeth, squeezing the words out.

“I’ll remember what happened today!”

After speaking.

He turned and left.

“Let’s go!”

His underlings, as if granted amnesty, scrambled to follow him.

Soon, they disappeared from the industrial park.

The crisis was resolved just like that.

Lin Fan slowly descended from the air.

The hem of her black skirt gently brushed the ground.

Zhang Jie sheathed his sword, walked up to Lin Fan, and bowed deeply.

“Thank you.”

His voice was filled with gratitude.

“If it weren’t for you, today would have probably…”

Lin Fan waved her hand.

“It was nothing.”

She looked in the direction Mao Shi had left.

“Do you and he have a grudge?”

Zhang Jie gave a bitter smile.

“You could say that.”

He sighed.

“We were once fellow martial brothers from the same sect.”

“I practiced the sword, he practiced fist and foot techniques.”

“Before the apocalypse, he was always competitive, wanting to one-up me in everything.”

“After the apocalypse, he evolved first, and his strength has always been above mine, so he looks down on me even more.”

“I never expected that today…”

He shook his head and didn’t continue.

Lin Fan nodded.

So that was it.

“From now on, just call me Lei Li.”

She said lightly.

“Calling me ‘Miss’ all the time is too formal.”

Zhang Jie was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

“Alright, Lei Li.”

He took out three translucent Crystals from his pocket.

One red, one blue, and one colorless and transparent.

“This is a small token of my appreciation.”

He handed the Crystals to Lin Fan.

“Three Grade 1 Crystals.”

“They are Strength-type, Speed-type, and Special-type, respectively.”

“Additionally, on behalf of the industrial park base, I formally invite Fragrant Hills International to become our ally.”

“What do you think?”

Lin Fan took the Crystals and glanced at them.

Then, she looked up at Zhang Jie.

“I agree.”

A sincere smile spread across Zhang Jie’s face.

“A pleasure doing business with you.”

“A pleasure doing business with you.”

Lin Fan put away the Crystals.

“I should be heading back.”

She said no more.

With a light tap of her toes on the ground.

Her entire body began to slowly rise again.

In the awestruck gazes of Zhang Jie, Liu Qiang, and the others, the black figure turned into a streak of light and vanished over the horizon.

Zhang Jie stood rooted to the spot for a long time.

He looked up in the direction Lin Fan had disappeared, his eyes filled with shock.

“Brother Jie…”

Liu Qiang walked to his side and asked cautiously.

“This Lei Li… what’s her background?”

“She’s too strong.”

Zhang Jie took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

“I don’t know.”

He shook his head.

“I only know that if she had used her full strength just now…”

“I’m afraid even I would be no match for her.”

As he said this, an incredible image suddenly flashed through his mind.

Just now, when Lin Fan had flown up.

His vision, enhanced by three evolutions and far surpassing that of an ordinary person, had caught a detail in that split second.

Under that fluttering black skirt…

It seemed…

She wasn’t wearing any underwear!

Zhang Jie’s Adam’s apple bobbed unconsciously.

This woman was far more unrestrained than he had imagined…
