My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

At that moment, Baiyu was taking a nap on Shen Minyao\'s lap while she was talking to the grim reaper. 

"Wouldn\'t it be better if you bring Zhao Yichen with you?" He asked. 

"There\'s no need for that," the fox woman replied. "Bringing him with me would be like parading to every demon in the world that he\'s my human contractor, my one weakness." 

Mu Qing didn\'t dare to question her anymore with regard to Zhao Yichen. She knew what\'s best for her human contractor, anyway. 

"I think we\'ll need Lady Li\'s assistance this time, though. We are dealing with a lot of demons, after all," he suggested. 

Shen Minyao remained silent as her hands continued to brush the hair of the little snake demon on her lap. She was aware of that, but was Li Fei\'er ready to get involved in such a dangerous quest? 

The fox woman knew that the young shaman\'s powers and abilities had greatly improved from the past weeks because of Qin Zhi\'s unintentional training. However, she had yet to see how powerful Li Fei\'er was now that she had progressed. 

"I\'ll talk to her, but it\'s better to keep our party small just in case," she answered Mu Qing. 

That night, while the fox woman was busy considering her options regarding their impending departure to the northern lands, a group of demons sneaked into Zhao Yichen\'s home. They managed to dispel Yu Yan\'s barrier around the property. 

There were only a few guards roaming around the place, but these demons were able to hide. They soon found Zhao Yichen sleeping inside his bedroom, unaware of the danger that came for him. 

In just under ten minutes, this group of demons succeeded in kidnapping Zhao Yichen without leaving any trace behind. 

However, the moment Zhao Yichen\'s unconscious body left his home, Shen Minyao already felt it. The corner of her lips rose into a sinister smile, her eyes flashing red; much to Mu Qing\'s surprise. 

Mu Qing couldn\'t tell whether she was angry or excited, but one thing was for sure… her bloodlust was too strong tonight. 

"Aiya, she finally made a move. Just as I was starting to get bored from waiting…" Shen Minyao said with a menacing tone. 

By this time, Baiyu had also woken up from his short nap. He sat up on the bed and found his mistress slightly morphed into her demon form. He wasn\'t bothered by it one bit, but he was curious as to what made Shen Minyao act like this. 

"Mistress?" He called out. 

"Get ready, Baiyu. We are going to hunt for your first meal," Shen Minyao told him, which made his icy blue eyes glint with excitement. 

Mu Qing could only watch the two demons leap out of Shen Minyao\'s window in excitement, one after another. He would never have understood what made them so enthusiastic about hunting another demon.

The scent of Zhao Yichen led Shen Minyao, Baiyu, and Mu Qing to one of the five-star hotels in Jiang City. The fox woman wasn\'t surprised at all, but if Yan Lin thought she wouldn\'t be able to get past these humans, then the inferior demoness was gravely mistaken. 

With her enchantment ability, it was now so easy for her to manipulate humans on her own accord. Since she was already at the mid-rank level, Shen Minyao didn\'t need Xiao Bai\'s assistance for his concealment spell. She could now cast the same spell herself. 

Mu Qing followed the fox woman as they strolled leisurely in the hallways of the hotel, while Baiyu was amused by all the things he was seeing for the first time. He never thought that humans lived lavishly like this, way better than what he heard from the other demons who ended up inside the Gu pot. 

The three arrived in the presidential suite, where Yan Lin was waiting with the rest of her brood of blood-sucking demons. The doors behind them were shut in an instant. The rest of Yan Lin\'s brood bared their sharp fangs at Shen Minyao\'s group, but they didn\'t attack. They waited for Yan Lin\'s orders.

Mu Qing had noticed that all of them were males and deceased. The only reason they were moving was that they were all under the curse of the blood-sucking demoness. 

"Ah, Imperial Noble Consort Su, you came so soon." Yan Lin\'s sultry words greeted the three upon entering the presidential suite. She was standing near the glass window wall, overseeing the city. The place offered a good view of the late-night cityscape of Jiang City. 

The blood-sucking demoness was wearing such a skimpy red evening dress that highlighted her huge chest and feminine curves, looking like the seductive temptress that she was. 

Shen Minyao didn\'t utter a single word in response; she only waited for what the other demoness had to say. She was aware of Yan Lin\'s intention, but she only came here for a definite reason. 

"Ah, my fault. You aren\'t Su Daji anymore, right? I should be calling you Young Miss Shen. Aren\'t you going to ask me where your precious human is?" Yan Lin lifted the wine glass with a rich red liquid in it and took a sip. 

Shen Minyao and Mu Qing knew that the demoness was not drinking wine at all; it was nothing else but fresh human blood. The scent of blood was so thick inside the room that it almost overwhelmed the fox woman\'s senses. 

"I think Lady Yan is mistaken. I didn\'t come here to rescue my human." Shen Minyao strode to the middle of the room and took a seat casually at one of the armchairs that faced Yan Lin. She crossed her legs and rested her chin on her hand, looking at the other demoness as if Yan Lin was her subject. 

This infuriated Yan Lin. According to her twin sister, Su Daji always forced her to kneel in front of the fox woman to pay her respects as the lower concubine in the harem. Yan Lin now understood the humiliation her sister had to endure after facing this nine-tailed fox woman. Shen Minyao was looking down on her! 

"Miss Yan, aren\'t you curious about how your twin sister lost her life?" Shen Minyao asked arrogantly, her eyes shining amber now. 

"Y-you!" This was clearly a provocation made by the nine-tailed fox woman. 

"Baiyu," Shen Minyao called after her newest shikigami. 

"Yes, Mistress?" The young white snake demon stepped forward and waited for his mistress\'s orders. 

"Kill all the pests in here. Leave no one alive." The fox woman\'s eyes shone with mischief. 

"As you wish," Baiyu replied. 

Yan Lin suddenly sensed a great scent of bloodlust coming from this pair of master and servant. She immediately made her puppets attack the seemingly harmless little demon that accompanied Shen Minyao. 

Those puppets were all the men she had preyed on and controlled as her minions, while her other \'sisters\' terrorized the city. Of course, by now, Yan Lin was aware that the Southern Demon Lord had been hunting her \'sisters\', killing them one after another. This forced Yan Lin to make a move herself. 

"Miss Yan, it would be your fault for underestimating this little demon." 

As soon as the fox woman said this, the brainless men under Yan Lin\'s control bit Baiyu along his arms and legs, only for them to drop on the floor. They coughed black blood as their bodies started to deteriorate in an instant, not leaving anything in the process but their ashes. 

"W-what in the world…?" Yan Lin stared with wide eyes. Just what kind of demon was this little demon for him to turn her monsters into ashes so easily? 

"What? You can\'t recognize him? Weren\'t you the one who taught Zhao Fang how to do a Gu curse on his old man, giving him a pot filled with venomous young demons? The young boy, whom you are looking at right now, is the one who emerged victorious through all those battles inside the pot. He\'s still young, though, so I need to feed him more demons. After all, he needs to reach his full potential. 

Yan Lin shivered in fear like that. She knew that someone attempted to break the Gu curse that led to Zhao Fang\'s sudden death, but she\'d never thought that the fox demoness was involved in it. 

Moreover, to think that Shen Minyao was able to convince this Gu demon to be at her service…? Just how strong-willed was this fox woman?
