My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox
Chapter 159 - I Have Waited Hundreds Of Years (1)

Unlike other demons whose dream was the supreme conquest of becoming the strongest demon of them all, Qin Zhi had a docile temperament and refused to get involved with fights among the demons since he took Feng Jiu as his wife centuries ago. Still, it didn't change the fact that he would be a formidable opponent for other high-ranking demons such as Daji. 

Shen Minyao wondered if they could spar anytime soon. She grew curious about just how strong her brother became over the centuries of their separation. It was hard to tell if he got stronger or if he'd reached a bottleneck since her confinement at Qingqiu Mountain. 

The fox woman was aware that her confinement and Feng Jiu's death had affected her brother somehow. She just wasn't sure how he coped up with the loss, and she doubted that he'd been well on his own for the past centuries. 

Her thoughts were pulled back to reality when she noticed that her sword had consumed enough energy for the day. Ah, as expected, Hellreaver still had such a huge appetite. Now that its hunger had been satisfied, it wanted to witness some more bloodshed. 

Shen Minyao scoffed. Such a demanding weapon, it was. Anyway, it was fine. She also felt the same. She still hadn't seen enough blood for today, and she hadn't consumed enough demon orbs as well. 

The demoness swished her blade again, decapitating her enemy before piercing its chest to retrieve a small red orb with her sharp claws. As soon as the fallen demon touched the ground, it started to disintegrate into nothingness without a trace. 

Because they were originally humans, their souls would never reincarnate and be reborn as a human again. This was why it was a shame that some humans couldn't let go of their grievances and regrets, forbidding them to move forward. 

"I don't like this," Qin Zhi commented while his sister continued to fight with the remaining child-eating demons on her own. He could sense several eyes set on them, but he couldn't pinpoint their exact location. 

If it was a demon, it was doing a good job suppressing its presence, even against Qin Zhi's high-level spatial awareness ability. 

"What do you mean?" Shen Minyao replied, enjoying the way these demons were trying to overwhelm her by attacking her all at once. 

"We are being watched. Someone has anticipated that we will be here." 

Whoever was controlling these demons and hoping that the trap was enough to subdue her… was gravely mistaken. Shen Minyao wasn't sure about the intention of that person, but she wouldn't easily succumb to these lesser demons. Even a fellow demon, who had the same rank as she had right now, would have a hard time defeating her. 

Was this person testing her? She could feel a shiver up her spine as if someone was watching her with undivided attention. Her eyes then glowed in the darkness, heightening her senses to scan the place. However, it was clear that the watcher had no intention of revealing itself. She couldn't sense any demons in the four-kilometer radius of the school premises, aside from the child-eating monsters she was dealing with. 

'Coward,' Shen Minyao thought as she sneered inwardly. She felt like she was being looked down upon at the moment. How dare they look down on a mighty demon such as herself?! 

She didn't like being the center of attention. She would rather be the one watching in amusement, not the other way around. Shen Minyao swore that once she found out who it was, she would return this 'favor' a hundred times!

Qin Zhi remained silent at the sidelines as he gave it a good thought. Why did he feel like someone lured them here? Did that person know that he and Daji would willingly come here on their own? 

The probability was high… if that person was the one responsible for the sudden spike of demonic activities at Jiang City and the neighboring cities around it. However, why would it target his younger sister?

He would need to review all the active demonic cases in Jiang City to see if they were somehow connected to each other, as his sister claimed it to be. He initially thought that the case at the kindergarten was an isolated case that could easily be solved if they eliminated the demon who caused it. 

He stared at his sister. Daji's enemies from the past had been long gone. Her lord husband, the emperor, had died a year after her first host fell under Jiang Mo's blade, with her spirit being sealed by Li Yun. Qin Zhi wasn't sure if she had made enemies with other high-ranking demons, as he never heard her speak about her personal affairs and problems in the past. 

From afar, three figures were watching on top of a high building. One person, whose face was covered by the hood, was seated on the edge of the roof while the two stood idly behind him. Half of his face was hidden in the shadow, but it was clear that he was smirking. His eyes had never left the woman fighting with the child-eating demons he was manipulating. 

"Ah, I see. She still has the same temper as before." He chuckled with amusement. 

His companions remained silent as if they hadn't heard what the man said and kept their gazes at Shen Minyao. 

"I have waited hundreds of years for her to return. Damn that Jiang Mo for killing her. If he was here, I would have stabbed him a thousand times for his impertinence." 

Still, no one responded to his words. It made it look like he was talking out loud to himself. 

Suddenly, Shen Minyao stood still and slowly suppressed her demonic presence. A deep scowl appeared on her face. 

Qin Zhi furrowed his brows in confusion… before his nose caught a familiar scent of a human coming towards them.. It was the same human who accompanied his sister to the Fourth District.
