My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

"You heard me right, Brother Yin. Since our grandfather has agreed, of course, it's only a matter of time, and it will be final," Shen Minyao said before turning around, leaving the two in shock. 

Su Yin was momentarily stunned, and it took him a moment before he got back to his feet and chased after Shen Minyao in a hurry, much to Shen Qing's shock. 

"Wait!" He yelled to get Shen Minyao's attention, but she didn't even bother to spare him a glance at all. 

Shen Qing couldn't even utter a single word as she stared at Su Yin's back as he rushed to follow Shen Minyao. Hadn't he already chosen her instead of Shen Minyao? So why was he chasing after that woman?! 

She cursed her cousin repeatedly in her heart. Even to this day, Shen Minyao proved that she was still an obstacle Shen Qing had yet to dispose of. Everything that she wanted… why could they fall easily into Shen Minyao's hands? Shen Minyao didn't even cherish the things she had and didn't care about them, so why couldn't she have them instead? 

Su Yin couldn't believe that he easily lost Shen Minyao. It was as if she disappeared into thin air without anyone noticing. He just spotted her and took a turn, but the moment he was distracted, he already lost track of her whereabouts. How could a person vanish so soon like that? 

From the building opposite where Su Yin was looking frantically for her, Shen Minyao stood at the top of the school building, watching him like a chicken running without a head. 

"Are you sure you can tell him that?" Xiao Bai didn't pity Su Yin one bit, but because Su Yin was one of the reasons why the real Shen Minyao lost her life, the fox woman wouldn't make it easy for him and Shen Qing to live happily. 

"He should have known what would happen after I showed up here. Did he just expect that I would like to be the same stupid Shen Minyao who would look at him with adoration in her eyes? He must be really stupid, then," the fox woman replied. "Anyway, we should get going. I wish to see the mess that flower fairy has made for her very stupid human." 

Shen Minyao and Xiao Bai then teleported a block away from where Zhao Yichen lived. From where the fox woman was standing, she could smell the nauseating scent of the flower fairy, which enshrouded the whole house. 

When she stepped inside the premises, Shen Minyao easily repelled the other demon's negative force and broke the barrier it set around the house. She then spotted Zhao Yichen's bodyguards starting to lose their strength since their life essences were being sucked out by the flower fairy's influence. 

"Dispel," Shen Minyao chanted, and the scent and the mark the flower fairy left vanished. 

She was welcomed by the old butler and led to where Zhao Yichen was. She found him in the study with Yu Yan where he and Gu Luxian must be safe from the flower fairy. Apparently, Yulan had totally lost her logical mind, and her instincts were telling her to find Gu Luxian. 

Yu Yan lowered her barrier and let her mistress in, allowing Shen Minyao to see Zhao Yichen pacing around while Gu Luxian was lying on the couch, looking terrible compared to the last time the fox woman saw him. 

"Heh, I knew this day would come." Shen Minyao chuckled and took a seat on the vacant armchair. 

"Is there something else we could do to help or save him?" Zhao Yichen asked her, combing his hair with his fingers. 

"Have you made the choice, then? Does he know the truth?" The fox woman asked in return. 

Zhao Yichen fell silent for a moment, and Shen Minyao didn't need verbal confirmation because she already knew. 

"Don't you think he needs to know, or are you just playing safe all this time?" Shen Minyao shot him a glare. 

"What do I need to know?" Gu Luxian chose to open his eyes that moment and overheard the conversation between the two. 

"Oh, it's good that you are finally awake now." The fox woman chuckled, but she already knew that he was awake when she stepped inside the room. His energy was almost depleted because of the mark of the flower fairy on his body. 

Gu Luxian forced himself to sit up, and Zhao Yichen rushed to his side to help. 

"Miss Shen, can you tell me what's wrong?" Gu Luxian asked the fox woman again. 

"Dr. Gu, when you stopped seeing Yulan, did you sleep with another woman?" Shen Minyao asked without batting an eyelid, much to Zhao Yichen's surprise. 

Gu Luxian stared at her as if she grew another head over her shoulder. He blinked twice and nodded. 

"H-how did you know?" He asked in return. 

"So you did." Shen Minyao was only confirming what she already knew ahead of time. "Dr. Gu, do you know a man's body naturally has a lot of yang energy while that of a woman has yin energy?" 

"Then, what did it have to do with it?" Gu Luxian couldn't understand what Shen Minyao was talking about, but it was clear that she knew something and could explain his situation better. 

"Are you sure you want to hear the truth?" 

Gu Luxian nodded. 

"Some humans have the ability to see spirits and demons. Mostly, they were infants, toddlers, and young men who weren't tainted by yin energy. You see, because you were born with a rare ability to see what the common couldn't, you were able to see lower demons and few spirits which naturally have yin energy aside from the women. Men are born with yang energy. This is why you were able to see Yulan until the day you slept with another woman.. Sharing your yang with a woman would give you their yin energy."
