My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox -
Chapter 127 - We Are Both Lucky (1)
The moment Shen Minyao swallowed the demon orb, she felt like her whole body was on fire. The pain she had at the moment was incomparable to the one she was subjected to when she devoured the spider demon's orb before.
She clutched her chest painfully and shut her eyes as her energy surged stronger. Xiao Bai ran towards his mistress and tried to stabilize the demonic powers that were emitting from her body. Shen Minyao needed to control the power inside her, or else not only would she kill the humans near the area, but it would also make the people looking for her replace out her whereabouts.
"Milady, you should focus. I know it's painful, but you need to stay conscious, or else you would reveal yourself to everyone," he reminded his mistress.
Shen Minyao struggled to stay conscious as pain engulfed her entirety. Of course, she knew that she had to remain conscious until the demonic power inside her finally calmed down. If not, she would wreak havoc to where she was at the moment.
However, consuming an orb of a mid-rank demon proved to be challenging for the fox woman. It surely wasn't easy to stabilize the new powers she had now. The pain was almost unbearable even for a demon like her.
Damn it. She wouldn't have stooped so low to this level hadn't she given up her demon orb to save Zhao Yichen's life. Then again, she had no other choice during their first meeting and could only accept the consequences of her actions.
Mu Qing watched as the fox woman's whole body was being covered with red, fiery veins protruding on her smooth, pale skin. He now knew that this was a natural occurrence for Shen Minyao to undergo whenever she consumed a demon orb, but seeing her like this made him feel uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen was confused as to what was happening to the fox woman, as Xiao Bao had already left his side, in favor of helping his mistress.
Xiao Bai looked worriedly at his mistress. Perhaps the orb of a mid-rank demon was too much for her to handle. At the rate it was going, his mistress might lose control of herself any time soon.
Suddenly, a sword came flying at Shen Minyao at a fast speed. The blade pierced the ground next to her, absorbing the excess demonic powers that were seeping out from her body.
Shen Minyao's red eyes widened in shock. She hadn't seen this blade for ages and had never thought that she would see it again. It was the sword she used to own in her past life as Su Daji. But how did it manage to survive until this day, given that this sword also needed to frequently feed on life force?
"How?" She stared at her sword with bewilderment.
It was only when she sensed another demon's presence did she turn her head where it was coming from. A man dressed in a black business suit with long pale-blonde hair and golden eyes flew down from the sky. Their gazes met, and Shen Minyao understood it by then—how her demonic sword managed to stay in its pristine condition until this day.
Mu Qing held the hilt of his sword when he saw another demon coming after Shen Minyao. His energy had been almost drained by his fight with the crow demon earlier, and the appearance of another demon was something he hadn't anticipated. He briefly wondered if this new demon was related to the crow demon they killed earlier.
"So you are here." Qin Zhi's familiar voice unexpectedly brought so much relief to Shen Minyao. If there was anyone she could trust with her life, it would be her elder brother. She didn't expect that the two of them would also be reunited in this life, aside from her meeting Little Jiu's present incarnation.
The fox woman allowed herself to fall on the ground next to her sword. The pain on her body was drastically lessened as the blade absorbed the excess power in her system. She was lucky that she was reunited with her sword again, or else she would have a hard time absorbing the energy efficiently.
"It's been a long time, dear brother. What brings you here?" She said in a low voice.
Mu Qing, with his senses stronger compared to a human, was shocked to replace out that this fox demoness was related to this new demon in front of them. Would this mean they didn't need to fight this demon?
"I've been looking for you. I've only gotten lucky that I ended up seeing you here when I decided to check what was happening to the crow demons," Qin Zhi replied, his eyes softening upon seeing the sister he'd been looking for.
"Then, I'll say that we are both lucky this time." Shen Minyao chuckled.
"Lord Qin, it's been a while," Xiao Bai regarded his mistress's older brother. Although Qin Zhi's clothes had changed from the white robes he used to wear centuries ago, Xiao Bai thought that he barely aged at all since their last meeting.
Qin Zhi nodded at him.
"I see that you have chosen to stay with her. Where's Yu Yan?" He asked when he noticed that the black cat that was always next to Xiao Bai was missing.
Xiao Bai looked at his mistress. "Somewhere she needs to be."
"Enough of this." Shen Minyao forced herself to stand up. "We are leaving."
However, as soon as she said that, she suddenly passed out. Her body motioned to hit the ground again, but Qin Zhi appeared in front of her, allowing her to fall on his left arm.
It was by then did he choose to regard the grim reaper and the psychic human that had come here with his sister.
"I'll be taking things from here," he told them before he, along with Xiao Bai, vanished into thin air without a trace.
