My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Qin Zhi and his men needed to re-investigate the history of the place where the kindergarten was built, and so Shen Minyao spent the whole Sunday catching up with the webnovels and comics she had purposely ignored for the past two weeks. 

Ah, this was the life she should be enjoying while she wasn't hunting other demons and devouring orbs. Also, she didn't need to waste time spending it with the other Shen family members. They were currently out of the house, doing business the fox woman had no idea about. Not that she cared, anyway. 

Zhao Yichen had called her that morning, but Shen Minyao didn't bother to pick up. Unless he admitted to his mistakes and changed for the better, she wasn't willing to see him anytime soon. He should understand how serious the situation was, and he shouldn't meddle with others' affairs.. 

So what if Gu Liuxian died because of the flower fairy? It was his fault for being involved with a demon. He should have run away from Yulan and never sought after her again. Now, it was only a matter of time before the flower fairy would succumb to her instincts and kill Gu Liuxian. 

"Milady, are you sure you don't want to see Young Master Zhao?" Xiao Bai asked curiously while he devoured the sweet lotus cakes Fu Xiyan brought for Shen Minyao earlier. It was a pity that his mistress didn't like to eat sweets, unlike the real Shen Minyao. However, Fu Xiyan and Cheng Lifan still frequently sent her sweets, which ended up being consumed by the white fat cat. 

"There's no need to foul my mood. He's in a safe place, anyway. With Yu Yan around, there's no need for us to worry about lesser demons," Shen Minyao replied. 

With her strength rising, her influence towards Zhao Yichen had also risen. It wouldn't be easy for any demon to sense the fox orb in Zhao Yichen's body unless a high-ranking demon focused its attention on her human contractor. 

As for the demon that was feeding at the kindergarten, she could only wait for Qin Zhi's call. However, waiting like this only made her feel bored. She wondered what the others were doing now… and if Jiang Chen had an interesting case for her to pry on. 

Shen Minyao had just finished catching up on one of the comics she was following when her phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, she saw that it was Li Fei'er calling her.

"What is it?" 

"Lu Anqi and I are planning to see Dr. Monster 2, would you like to come?" 

Oh, so they were planning to see a movie? Shen Minyao thought as she glanced at the clock on top of the study table. It was only two in the afternoon, and she still had time to waste until her brother gave her a call about the update of the case they were handling. 

"Fine. Give me the location, and I'll ask my driver to bring me there." 

An hour later, Shen Minyao found herself standing outside a movie theater. Since her awakening, she hadn't gone to a lot of places, and this would be her first time seeing a movie with the others. 

"I've already bought our tickets. Hurry, the movie is about to start!" Lu Anqi said before hooking her arm with that of Li Fei'er and dragging them inside. 

Shen Minyao thought that the human mind was amusing. For them to find these nefarious horror films scary was appalling in her opinion. Nevertheless, it was enough for her to forget her boredom. Qin Zhi hadn't called her yet, and she wondered how long it would take for them to find the information they needed. 

After the movie ended, she accompanied Lu Anqi and Li Fei'er to shop in a nearby shopping mall. The real Shen Minyao had saved a lot of money, but she didn't dare to splurge and buy things for herself. 

This was why, even though she could afford it, she never bought designer clothes like those Shen Qing usually wore. Looking at the two of them, it was only natural for others to assume that Shen Qing was the eldest miss. 

"Aren't you going to buy anything?" Lu Anqi asked the fox woman as she took a bite at the cotton candy she bought from a nearby stall. They were waiting for Li Fei'er to get her milkshake. 

"No, I'm on a strict diet." Shen Minyao lied, although using her morning exercises to strengthen her body was a good reason for her to skip meals. 

"Oh, your loss, then… but you really shouldn't be too hard on yourself, Schoolmate Shen. There's nothing wrong about having a cheat day once in a while and eating anything you want to your heart's content," the younger woman said. 

"To eat to my heart's content, huh?" Shen Minyao chuckled in amusement. 

The idea of devouring so many human livers and demonic orbs sounded so enticing to the fox woman. However, she knew that it would be impossible without getting the attention of those shamans who were still looking for her. 

It didn't take long before Li Fei'er returned to them with her milkshake in one of her hands. The three continued to walk around the shopping mall. 

Shen Minyao frowned when her nose picked up a familiar scent. What was Cheng Lifan doing here? She wasn't informed that her stepmother would be here in all places. However, it was too late for her to call out Li Fei'er's and Lu Anqi's attention as she spotted Cheng Lifan taking the corner and meeting the three of them. 

Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Qin Zhi standing next to Cheng Lifan, and by the looks of it, he also wasn't expecting to see her today. Alas, the moment Qin Zhi's eyes turned to Li Fei'er standing next to Shen Minyao, the latter knew that she had a lot to explain later.
