My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

There, she said it. Her eyes never left Li Fei\'er\'s face, paying attention to her reaction. 

Others might think that she was being silly for disclosing such detail to a shaman like Li Fei\'er, but the fox woman had never lied to Little Jiu in their previous lives, and she wouldn\'t dare to do it now. It was up to Li Fei\'er now, whether she believed it or not. 

Li Fei\'er was stunned for a moment and looked at Shen Minyao as if she had grown another head over her shoulder. Many answers were considered in her head, but she had never imagined she would hear Shen Minyao say that she was a demon. 

How could it be possible? She would have sensed it from the start if Shen Minyao was truly a demon. Then again, because of her inexperience and young mind, she failed to realize that there were several ways for a human to become a demon. 

In fact, most of the demons that attack the humans were the kind of demons that were once a human in their past life. However, most of them had already forgotten their memories, unaware of what they had become. 

Just take the wraith from the other week as an example: it lost any resemblance to what he was before he turned into a soulless creature filled with intense bitterness and hatred. A human that became a demon was an abomination that was deemed dangerous by many because they had defied the law of nature by succumbing to darkness. 

"Classmate Shen must be joking," Li Fei\'er said with an awkward laugh. She couldn\'t think of a reason why Shen Minyao was telling her this—aside from an attempt to push her away. Shen Minyao might look odd, but that didn\'t mean she held ill intent towards Li Fei\'er, right? Given that Shen Minyao had saved her life twice already. 

There were many kinds of demons that could pretend and pose as humans, but for a shaman like her, she should be able to easily see past their pretense. Even if they pretended to be human, there would be hints of their identity that couldn\'t be concealed by a mere spell. 

"You think I\'m joking?" Shen Minyao pulled back and smirked. She then resumed walking, leaving Li Fei\'er behind. It wasn\'t like she wanted to lie to Li Fei\'er. While it\'s true that some demons could possess and pretend as humans, none was able to replace its human soul from its body like the fox demons. 

Li Fei\'er hurriedly ran to catch up with her. "You could have just told me you don\'t want to answer my question." She giggled behind her hand. If Shen Minyao didn\'t want to tell her, then she could only respect Shen Minyao\'s decision. 

Shen Minyao sighed and ran her fingers through her messy hair. Well, at least she didn\'t lie to Li Fei\'er. If the day when she finds out the truth about Shen Minyao\'s real identity came, she couldn\'t accuse the fox of deceiving her. 

"Hmph. Don\'t blame me for not believing my answer." The fox woman yawned in boredom. Waiting for the weekend to come felt too long for her liking. Was it because she had nothing interesting to do these days aside from the physical training with Shen Minyao\'s brother? 

With Xu Shenshen and the other bullies not around, the days felt longer these past days. Even the mobile games she was playing a week ago were now too easy and not challenging any longer. At this rate, the only entertainment she could get was to hunt lower demons and kill them. 

Ah, then she would have no other choice but prepare herself for tomorrow. She was to visit Zhao Yichen tomorrow and didn\'t doubt the possibility of facing the irritating spider demon, along with Mu Qing. Just the mere thought that her contractor was being held hostage by another demon annoyed the fox woman. 

Once she came back to her private room at the dormitory, she found Fu Xiyan cleaning the place, while a steaming hot pot was served on her table. 

"Ah! Miss! You are back. Madam sent these for you since she heard that you have done well on your first week of training," Fu Xiyan said excitedly, storing the books Shen Minyao was reading last night on the corner before she pulled her miss to the table to eat. 

"Young Master isn\'t complaining how hard the training is, but he looks horrible every time he comes home," Fu Xiyan commented, "How come you don\'t look as miserable as him?" 

The fox woman grimaced and stared down at the food being served to her. For a normal human, this looked like a feast, but for her, it was nothing but a waste of human resources. 

Who was going to eat all of it if she couldn\'t finish it? If only Xiao Bai was here to help her finish all of these dishes… 

"I\'m not a wimp. Why do I need to grovel just because of some training?" She scoffed, only to thank Fu Xiyan for passing the chopsticks so she could start eating. 

The intensive training that her previous host had done in the past was harder than what she was doing now. The main difference between her two hosts was that Su Daji  had admirable strength and a strong personality, while Shen Minyao was more fickle-minded and physically weaker. It was really such a pain to have a weak host. 

Anyway, at least the fox woman didn\'t need to deal with any romantic interests of her host this time. Aside from those useless suitors, Su Daji had also really given her a hard time looking after her old father and protecting the state from the invaders as a young general. 

She heard Fu Xiyan giggled at her words. At least, her miss was starting to look after herself for good this time. 

"All right. I believe you, Miss.. You are strong now."
