My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

The fox woman knew that she had a nasty personality and even those who knew her called her the worst things that a normal woman wouldn\'t be able to retaliate. 

However, if someone hit her or offended her, she tended to retaliate, but she always made sure not go overboard except that one time when humans used Feng Jiu that made her lose her sanity. 

Still, it was hard even for her to understand why Yulan chose to die like this, leaving her death wish on another demon\'s hands. How sure this flower fairy was that the fox woman would grant her wish? 

If Shen Minyao decided to overlook Yulan\'s dying wish to erase Gu Luxian\'s memories of her, it was only a matter of time before he followed the flower fairy to the afterlife. 

Shen Minyao stared at Yulan\'s peaceful and smiling face as she disintegrated to nothingness. It irked her that she wasn\'t to fully comprehend what Yulan\'s stupid reason. 

Anyway, a fool was a fool. No matter how much others try to convince them, Shen Minyao wouldn\'t be surprised if they jump into death with their head first. 

Suddenly, memories that didn\'t belong to her started flooding her mind. Shen Minyao understood then that this was Yulan\'s memories leaving her body. 

First, the memories that flashed in her mind were the memories from the first time Yulan met Gu Luxian and how they became acquainted with each other. The fox woman\'s mood turned sour as she was forced to watch it on the sidelines. 

Then, it shifted to the day when Gu Luxian came to their meeting place, frantically looking around for Yulan, not knowing she was standing right beside him. 

Yulan\'s expression was the giveaway to tell the fox woman that the flower fairy knew what transpired the night before and why Gu Luxian couldn\'t see her anymore. 

The next scenes then showed Shen Minyao what happened to Yulan for the next years without meeting nor talking to Gu Luxian. 

Shen Minyao then finally realized why she was annoyed with Yulan\'s love stricken expression. It was the same expression the human Su Daji had for Jiang Mo when she was still alive and before the fox woman possessed her body centuries ago. 

The next memories played were something that caught Shen Minyao\'s attention. This was what Yulan was talking about earlier. The memories she had about Xuan Yanrui\'s minions. 

A group of demons questioning her- No, Yulan since she was merely watching the memories in Yulan\'s perspective, of information about the nine-tailed fox who had recently escaped the Qingqiu mountain. Demons that could actually converse in a human language and awareness of their surroundings. 

If Shen Minyao was correct, these demons were at least at the same rank as she had right now. If she were to confront these demons and fight them at her current state, Shen Minyao knew that she wouldn\'t be able to win against them. 

"Speak. Have you heard anything about the fox demon that escaped from Li Yun\'s binding spells?" One of them harshly pulled Yulan\'s hair, who was currently out of her mind and wasn\'t able to comprehend what they were saying. 

Shen Minyao inwardly scoffed. Why wasn\'t she not surprised that Xuan Yanrui\'s cohorts weren\'t that smart at all? 

These demons might have awarenes, but they surely weren\'t the brightest demon she had seen in her long life. Didn\'t they know it was pointless to torture Yulan, who was clearly driven by her instincts to insanity? 

They were talking about the human exorcist that they served, which Shen Minyao knew by now as Xuan Yanrui who\'d possessed Pei Weijun\'s body and how they planned to annihilate the other Night Parade of the Hundred Demons led by the high-rank wolf demon, Lord Lang. 

Demons, although prefer solitary in nature, most of them tend to be part of a faction that could fit their needs and aspiration, as the Southern Lord, Qin Zhi oversee the demons who had pledge allegiance on him centuries ago after the war between the humans and demon huntings once Xuan Yanrui and Su Daji perished.

Shen Minyao wasn\'t sure what to think of that. She didn\'t think Lord Lang would appreciate it if she and Qin Zhi got involved with his dispute against Xuan Yanrui, but if the latter indeed managed to invade the Northern Lands, it was only a matter of time before her ex-husband came to declare to the Southern Lands to apprehend her. 

Did the fox woman worry about the other demons being killed because of her? No. She was merely annoyed that in Xuan Yanrui\'s eyes, she was a possession he needed to get hand into. 

He was still the same shameless man who only knew how to invade someone\'s territory and not care of the mess the war left afterwards. 

In the past living as Su Daji, of course she had met Long Lang of the Northern Lands along with her brother. Both parties had agreed to keep a treaty to keep the demons safe on their territories as long as neither from both parties won\'t dare to step on each other\'s lair. 

"The Lord of the Northern Lands is already dying. This wouldn\'t be a war but a massacre." The other one replied, and he went to explain what transpired at the Northern Lands. 

Once Yulan\'s remains disappeared completely, she allowed the Hellreaver to shift back to its previous form. 

Xiao Bai went to her side and watched as the remaining petals were blown away by the gust of wind. It was such a dramatic scene for a flower fairy\'s departure to the afterlife. Well, if there was one for the likes of her and Shen Minyao. 

"And she died just like that." He heard his mistress say with a deep frown on her face. He had no doubt that she was annoyed again, by this sudden wish from the flower demon. 

As for whether his mistress grants such a wish or not, no one would be able to tell except for the fox woman. 

"Let\'s go." Shen Minyao said as she got a better understanding of what Xuan Yanrui was planning, she needed to discuss the next plan with Qin Zhi. 

When she returned to the study where Zhao Yichen and Gu Luxian were waiting for her return. Yu Yan had brought down her barriers and slowly dispeling the remaining demonic energy the flower fairy left around Zhao Yichen\'s home. 

She didn\'t need to ask what happened to the flower fairy, because the fact that she couldn\'t sense Yulan anymore proved that Shen Minyao had already ended her life to protect Zhao Yichen\'s. 

Shen Minyao went back and sat on the same spot she vacated earlier. She sighed to herself and shut her eyes, not saying a word to her human contractor who was staring at her with confusion. 

Zhao Yichen glanced at Yu Yan to explain what happened but she only shook her head, telepathically telling him to wait until her mistress was calm enough. 

He nodded in understanding and looked at Gu Luxian whose color was starting to come back on his face and his complexion seemed better after Shen Minyao\'s return. 

Did this mean that Shen Minyao had successfully killed Yulan? If so, then it would make sense why Gu Luxian looked better, but Zhao Yichen didn\'t have the heart to tell his friend that Yulan was already dead. 

It took an hour before Shen Minyao cracked her eyes open and asked Zhao Yichen for a drink. Butler Lu came and served them some refreshment with the fox woman a little surprised to see three cold strawberry yogurt drinks on the tray. 

So Zhao Yichen was now aware of her preferences, but was he smart enough not to oppose her this time? 

She had already revealed the truth about the disappearance of Gu Luxian\'s ability and had taken care of eliminating Yulan\'s life with her own hands. Wouldn\'t this mean that she had taken care of most of the problems and dealt with them? 

The fox woman sighed. This was why she rather not get involved with human\'s fleeting and unpredictable feelings. 

However, now that she had already dealt with the danger that was looming around Zhao Yichen, she was certain that it would give her enough time to deal with her problem about Xuan Yanrui. 

She excused herself for a moment and gave Qin Zhi a call, informing him of what she had discovered from the flower fairy\'s memories. 

"If he\'s making a move to the Northern Lands, this means that he hasn\'t gained enough power and influence to the other demons." Qin Zhi commented. 

Shen Minyao scoffed at that and sat at the windowsill as she looked heavenward seeing the sky had turned dark already. 

"Even if he became a demon, it still didn\'t change the fact that he was once a human.. It only makes sense why the other demons deem him still unworthy and below them."
