My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

The next day, Shen Minyao had avoided meeting Li Fei'er and instead decided to confront Xu Shenshen and Shen Qing to get the rewards they both owed to her. 

Li Fei'er could only look at Shen Minyao with a worried expression on her face. Of course, she was aware why Shen Minyao was now keeping her distance. The young shaman could only watch Shen Minyao as she walked out of the classroom. 

"You're really letting her go just like that, milady?" Xiao Bai asked Shen Minyao. He didn't expect that as soon as he came back from checking on Zhao Yichen the other day, things had degraded between his mistress and the former ward. 

"Hn, she already knows that I am indeed a demon. It would be foolish of her to stay next by my side after knowing that fact," Shen Minyao replied. 

Her nose picked up the scent of Xu Shenshen from where she was hiding. The prey must have known of Shen Minyao's intention of looking after her. Heh, no matter where she hid within the school premises, her scent would lead the fox woman to the exact location of where she was hiding. 

"I see." Xiao Bai didn't dare to ask more, but he had to admit that he would miss Li Fei'er's company. 

However, he was also aware that it wouldn't be good for Li Fei'er to stay with them, now that they knew who their enemy was. Knowing Xuan Yanrui's ruthlessness, the fox woman wouldn't give him a chance to use Li Fei'er against her. 

Shen Minyao ignored the other humans she met in the hallway and casually went to the rooftop, where the students barely went to pass time. The doors of the rooftop were usually locked up by the school management to lessen the chances of students committing suicide from jumping from such a high place. 

However, that didn't mean that some students wouldn't try to get up to that place. Xu Shenshen had a following of her, with whom she had got along by earning their favors. This was why, no matter how reckless she had been in the past, none of the other students dared to get even with her until Shen Minyao came. 

Xu Shenshen was walking back and forth, wondering why Shen Minyao would decide to seek her at this time. That crazy girl was becoming more unpredictable these days, and there were times Xu Shenshen felt that Shen Minyao was looking at her as if she was a plaything. 

'Damn you, Shen Minyao. Ever since you came back, it's been hell for me.' She cursed Shen Minyao in her heart. 

"Ah, cursing me again, aren't you, Classmate Xu?" Shen Minyao's voice startled Xu Shenshen, pulling her out from her deep thoughts. 

She turned around, only to see Shen Minyao sitting on top of the roof of the door that was the only entrance unlocked to reach the rooftop. She was seated with her legs crossed, her eyes looking down at Xu Shenshen with a glint of amusement in her eyes. 

Xu Shenshen's eyes widened. How could she not hear Shen Minyao arriving? Also, she had made sure to lock the door from the outside, so other students shouldn't be able to come here. 

She would never suspect that Shen Minyao had used her flight ability while using Xiao Bai's concealment spell to hide her from human eyes. 

"What? Please don't look at me like that. You don't know how long I've been looking for you everywhere." Shen Minyao leaped down from where she was seated and landed a few meters away from where Xu Shenshen was standing. 

Xu Shenshen took a couple of steps away from Shen Minyao, looking around to find a way to escape. However, Shen Minyao had blocked the only entrance and exit for her to use. 

'Shit,' she cursed inwardly. She was aware that she could not defeat Shen Minyao physically. 

"Don't be like this, Classmate Xu. You should be glad that I'm not claiming my reward in front of everyone," Shen Minyao reminded the girl as she nonchalantly checked her well-manicured hand while glancing at Xu Shenshen's ashen face. 

Did Xu Shenshen and Shen Qing think she would forget the bet she won earlier? These two might be thinking she had such a magnanimous heart to let them go so easily? 

"Y-you… what do you want?" Xu Shenshen shivered in fear. If Shen Minyao beat her once again, she wouldn't be able to have a face to show to everyone next time. 

"Don't you worry, Classmate Xu. I assure you, this time, I will only slap you and not break your bones." 

The coldness in Shen Minyao's tone made Xu Shenshen lose her composure. She lunged at Shen Minyao in an attempt to distract the other, but the fox woman had already anticipated her attack and stepped to her right with ease. 

"Now, now, why are you in such a rush, Classmate Xu?" The fox woman laughed, her hands reaching out towards Xu Shenshen and grabbing a fistful of her hair. 

Xu Shenshen yelped in pain, her hands reaching out to free her hair from Shen Minyao's grasp. However, the latter wouldn't budge at all, no matter how hard she tried.

"Shen Minyao!" She screamed, but she was stunned into silence when a slap landed on her face. She wasn't sure what had just happened, but the second slap that hit her cheek was enough to bring her back to reality. 

Xu Shenshen couldn't utter a single word as Shen Minyao continued to hit her face left and right, not stopping even for a second. The only sound that could be heard from the rooftop was the continuous sound of slapping. 

Shen Minyao continued to slap Xu Shenshen until her face was too swollen to be recognized by anyone. She didn't stop as if her hands never got hurt from all of it. Once she had deemed that she had enough, she let go of Xu Shenshen's face. 

"Ah, it's no fun when you aren't struggling." Shen Minyao frowned and let go of the girl's face. 

Xu Shenshen passed out from too much pain and failed to see Shen Minyao's eyes turning amber for a moment. 

"Aiya, she passed out. Do you think she would still seek revenge after this?" Xiao Bai asked his mistress. 

"If she's really such a fool, then she would." Shen Minyao pulled a wet tissue from her pocket and wiped her hand clean. 

"Now, where were we?" She hummed. "Oh, it's time to find my stupid cousin."

"Do you know where she is?" Xiao Bai jumped back to his usual place on Shen Minyao's shoulder before leaving the unconscious Xu Shenshen lying on the floor. 

"Where else would she be but next to Su Yin? She must have thought that I wouldn't seek her and slap her in front of her lover," the fox woman replied. 

Since everyone was busy with the upcoming school festival, the classes were suspended to allow the students to make the final preparations. Shen Minyao walked to the other side of the school building, where Shen Qing and Su Yin were. The moment she stopped right outside the classroom, Shen Qing's cohorts obstructed her way. 

"Schoolmate Shen, unfortunately, we cannot allow you to see Shen Qing today," one of them told Shen Minyao with a mocking smile. 

Shen Minyao leaned forward, her lips barely touching the young woman's ear. She whispered something to the girl that the other spectators failed to hear. The young woman's face turned pale, and she ran away in fear after hearing what Shen Minyao said. 

"What happened to her?" Someone asked. 

'Who knows?" Another one shrugged. "Do you think Shen Minyao threatened her?" 

"So what if I threatened her? What will you do about it?" Shen Minyao snickered and crossed her arms over her chest. "Each of us has a secret that we don't want to reveal or let anyone know. It's just a pity that I know about those dark secrets you are hiding behind your masks." 

She walked past these foolish students and entered the classroom. She wasn't surprised to see how Shen Qing hid behind Su Yin who was looking at Shen Minyao with contempt. 

"Shen Minyao! Don't go overboard! I won't let you hurt Shen Qing! You would need to go through me before you can lay a hand on her!" Su Yin sneered towards the fox woman. 

Shen Minyao tilted her head on one side and looked at the man in front of her with disgust. She couldn't understand what the previous Shen Minyao saw in this person at all. 

"Is that all?" She said nonchalantly as her one hand buried in the side pocket of her skirt. "Then, scram, you fool!" 

No one had anticipated that Shen Minyao would raise her right leg before kicking Su Yin right on his face.. The foot's bridge met his cheek, and his whole body was sent crashing towards the desks.
