My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 50 - Who Are You? (2)



When the classes for the day ended, Shen Minyao didn\'t return to the dormitory and stayed in the hallway near the laboratory room with Li Fei\'er. The latter was explaining her plan to force the demon out of the mirror and kill it using her divination mirror. 

Shen Minyao listened carefully and paid attention to Li Fei\'er\'s plan, but she deemed it too dangerous even for a demon like her. There was no telling that the demon in the mirror wouldn\'t dare to strike them back once it freed itself from the cursed vessel. 

"What if it is just waiting for someone to set it free, and it was sealed in the mirror for a reason?" Shen Minyao suddenly blurted out, much to Li Fei\'er\'s shock. She started at Shen Minyao with wide eyes. 

Li Fei\'er had never considered that possibility, and she fell silent next to Shen Minyao. If that was the case, then surely, the demon sealed in the mirror wasn\'t something they could easily deal with if she failed to kill it with her divination mirror. 

"Don\'t lose hope. There must be another way to kill it," Shen Minyao assured her, seeing the distressed expression on her face. The fox woman didn\'t hold any expectations towards Li Fei\'er right now, but she knew that in due time, when the girl gained enough experience, she would be a formidable shaman in the future, given how much potential she currently had. 

"I-I haven\'t thought of that…\'\' Li Fei\'er was ashamed of herself. If Shen Minyao hadn\'t mentioned it, she would have never thought of the consequences if her plans had failed. 

Thinking about it, how come when their class was inside the laboratory room, she and Shen Minyao didn\'t sense the ghosts they saw yesterday? Were they already eaten by that demon? How about Jin Qian? 

"So what do we do now?" She looked at Shen Minyao whose face was already half-dimmed by the growing darkness around them. Sooner, the ghosts trapped inside the laboratory should appear once again. 

"We go inside the room before the demon seals the entrance and exits again." The grim reaper\'s baritone voice reached their ears. As always, he had arrived last, although the three of them hadn\'t really agreed to meet today. 

Shen Minyao glanced to her right, looking at him who was walking towards them in a regal manner. Something about the way he walked reminded the fox woman of the old days when men walked like this. Just who was this grim reaper for him to have this gait anyway? Why did their paths always cross? 

"Ah, Mr. Grim Reaper!" Li Fei\'er was glad that he came just in time. She was a little worried earlier that she and Shen Minyao would deal with the demon on their own. With the strong grim reaper protecting them from behind, the chances of killing that demon would rise. 

"Who are you?" Shen Minyao suddenly asked, shocking not only the grim reaper from her question… but also Li Fei\'er. 

"Classmate Shen, I thought you know each other…" Li Fei\'er\'s question trailed off. By the way the two speak to each other, she really thought they were friends! 

"He\'s just a grim reaper that keeps popping up out of nowhere. I don\'t know who he is," Shen Minyao explained before eyeing the arrogant, handsome grim reaper. "So… who are you?" 

The grim reaper blinked at her question. "Don\'t you think it\'s too late for this introduction?" 

He was wearing the colors of death, yet his face had these otherworldly features women would surely fall in love with. With his long black silky hair that seemed soft to touch, his face chiseled into perfection, the deep set of obsidian eyes that give one a nonchalant, cold gaze… one would be surprised that they would associate beauty with death. 

Shen Minyao shrugged and then checked her well-manicured nails. With the money Tang Xuan had just returned to her, she got some money to splurge this coming weekend, and having her nails done was just the start. 

"I am called Mu Qing." The grim reaper introduced himself to the two young women, aware that this might not be the last time he would encounter this odd pair. In his long life as a grim reaper who roamed the earth for a hundred years, it was the first time he\'d seen a demon and a shaman team up like this. 

Well, it was most likely that this demoness hadn\'t revealed her true identity to the young shaman, but he was in no place to get involved with that problem. He could sense the aversion of this demoness towards the shaman, but regardless of what the demoness claimed, her actions proved that she cared about this human instead. 

"I\'m Li Fei\'er," Li Fei\'er introduced herself with a smile, "And this is my classmate, Shen Minyao." 

"You don\'t need to say our names anymore. He\'s already aware of them," Shen Minyao said, pulling herself away from the wall and started to walk towards the laboratory room. It was almost time; she could sense that the demon in the mirror was about to wake up soon. 

"Huh? How so? Li Fei\'er asked, hurrying next to Shen Minyao\'s side; while Mu Qing followed behind the two from a safe distance, listening to them. 

"He\'s a grim reaper, remember? They have the ability to see basic details about the humans they encounter. They could also see the HP gauge of most humans and calculate when they were about to die." 

Mu Qing stared blankly at Shen Minyao\'s back. HP gauge? What the hell was that? 

"Oh? I know Lord Hell is strong, but his abilities seemed to be scary," Li Fei\'er commented, "I don\'t think I would have the heart to tell another human if their time is running out—that they are about to die!" 

"Well, then, it\'s good that you are a shaman, and he\'s a grim reaper.. Let\'s leave it that way," Shen Minyao said.
