My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Meanwhile, Shen Minyao wasn\'t planning to see the old butler. She only used that as an excuse to leave Zhao Yichen with his mortal friend. She knew she was right when the scent of the flower fairy had reached her. Contrary to Zhao Yichen and Yu Yan\'s assumptions, Yulan was still keeping an eye on Gu Liuxian. 

Shen Minyao\'s feet silently stepped into the rooftop of Zhao Yichen\'s home, confronting the flower fairy. The two cats arrived shortly, but they sat on the edge of the fence, staring at the two demonesses in front of them.

"Have you come here to finally feed on your human?" The fox woman asked, looking at the flower fairy who was obviously dying from hunger for years. 

"You… fox, what are you doing here?" The flower fairy named Yulan asked in return. 

When Gu Liuxian arrived at this place, Yulan suddenly felt a demonic presence near him. It didn\'t matter if she wasn\'t with him because she had imprinted a part of her in his person, allowing her to sense whenever his life was in danger. 

Far from the image she had the first time Zhao Yichen and Yu Yan saw her, she looked terrible at the moment. Up close, Shen Minyao could see that the other demoness\'s body had undergone a lot of change in the past years. 

Flower fairies, just like what humans portrayed them to be, were extremely beautiful demons. They took pride in their physical attributes and used their charms to prey on unsuspecting humans. It was hard to tell that they were demons, given how good-looking they were. What set them apart from other demons was the short span of their lives. 

Just like the flowers where they came from, their lives were fleeting and comparable to the years a human could have in this world. However, now, as Shen Minyao looked at Yulan; she could see a pathetic demoness who\'d fallen in love with her prey. 

How foolish, the fox woman thought. 

What made this flower fairy refuse to feed on Gu Liuxian… she would never understand. If things got worse and she was in the flower fairy\'s shoes, she would kill Zhao Yichen without hesitation. He was just a mortal human who happened to be bound to her with a contract, anyway. 

"My human lives here," she responded, crossing her arms over her chest as she told off the flower fairy. "You are not welcome here." 

"Give him to me." Yulan said, "I cannot feed on Gu Liuxian, so give your human to me!" The flower fairy demanded… as she assaulted Shen Minyao. 

However, her sharp claws never managed to hit Shen Minyao\'s beautiful and youthful face as her nine tails sprouted behind her. She had one hand in midair as she stopped Yulan\'s hand with a single finger. 

"Deflect," she chanted, and Yulan was sent several meters away from the fox woman. Although the flower fairy had an awareness of her surroundings, she was a low-rank demon. She was no match to the recently promoted fox demoness, who was now mid-rank. 

Yulan coughed blood as she knelt on the ground in shock. Too strong, she thought. She didn\'t expect that this fox woman was so powerful that it only needed to lift a forefinger to stop her attack. 

"You want to feed on my human?" Shen Minyao\'s eyes turned amber with slits as she stared down at the weak demoness. "Do you think you can kill him without going against me, huh?" 

Yulan said nothing more. She lifted her head and pushed the stray locks away from her face. The once glorious hair she was proud of had lost its vibrancy and shine. 

"You must be really courting death to even consider such an option. Why don\'t you just drop dead right now instead? Don\'t worry, I will make sure to inform your human about your death and what has caused it." She evilly smiled at the flower fairy, knowing well that Gu Liuxian was her weakness. 

The flower fairy struggled to get back on her feet, and she wiped the blood on her mouth with her sleeve. 

"You still want to protect him? You are a fool!" Shen Minyao hissed in annoyance. 

"You still care for him, although he already betrayed you?" She continued to taunt the flower demon who chose to remain silent. "How could you believe the empty words of a mortal? If it\'s not for his fickleness as a human, he wouldn\'t have lost his ability to see and talk to you, but perhaps the two of you are the same."

The fox woman couldn\'t understand this foolishness. Just as she thought she was foolish for entering a contract with Zhao Yichen and involving herself with a shaman, she was incomparable to the stupidity of this flower fairy. 

The thought was enough to piss her off. Why would the flower fairy rather choose to die from hunger than to kill Gu Liuxian? He didn\'t even deserve her affection and sympathy. 

"Why don\'t I kill you right now to solve the problem?" Her eyes turned murderous. She lifted her right wrist, her silver bracelet turning into a long sword as she stepped forward towards the flower fairy. 

"If I kill you, right here, right now; you wouldn\'t suffer anymore. You fear that your instincts would drive you to feed on your human? Let\'s cease your foolishness once and for all, okay?" 

Yulan stepped back. Her face blanched with fear as she grew suffocated by Shen Minyao\'s presence and aura. She had never encountered a demon as strong as the fox demon before, and she doubted that she would meet another one in the future. Yulan could only resign to her fate and accept her death in the fox woman\'s hands.

However, just as Shen Minyao was about to slash her blade to decapitate the flower demon, Zhao Yichen\'s voice rang in the area. 

"Shen Minyao!" He yelled at the fox woman, hoping to get her attention.
