My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 120 - Daji, Is It Really You? (2)

Qin Zhi had checked Jiang City for his sister's whereabouts and thought of looking for a trace that would lead him to her, but there was none. It was clear to him that his sister didn't want anyone to find her, lest she would be killed even before she recovered her strength. 

When he checked at the hospital where he sensed the weird presences he hadn't sensed before, they were already nowhere to be found. It was strange for him to keep on bumping into presences that hoped to remain unfound as if reminding him of his inability to find his sister. 

Right now, he was on his way back to Jiang City, coming from a business trip he couldn't miss. However, before they could reach the city, they would need to pass this small town where the famous fourth district was located. 

He was driving the car tonight. Qin Zhihao sat in his passenger seat, accompanying him on this trip. Pretending to be a human—and a CEO on top of it—was quite taxing for Qin Zhi, but for the sake of the demons under his protection, he should better make sure that their living arrangements wouldn't be compromised by other demons who still chose to feed on humans. 

Just as they reached the infamous intersection that killed hundreds of humans in the last five years, Qin Zhi pulled the car into the stop. He sensed crow demons fleeing in a hurry. He had heard rumors that this place was infested with demons that caused several accidents in the area, but he had never thought that there was a huge murder of crow demons that inhabited this place. 

"Milord, is there something wrong?" The old man asked, curious as to what made his immortal master stop, "Why did we stop?" 

"Demons. So many of them," Qin Zhi replied and alighted from the car at once. He had never sensed the presence of so many demons in one place for a long time until today. They were clearly agitated and desperate to flee for their lives. 

Qin Zhihao had no choice but to follow his master. He found Qin Zhi staring up at the sky, looking at something. The old man looked around, but his old and blurry eyes couldn't see any demons. Even his poor ears couldn't pick up the sounds the bird demons were doing as they fled from the scene. 

"I'll check on what's happening here. Go call your grandson to pick you up, Zhihao. If anything bad happens, I don't want you to die here," Qin Zhi told him before he marched away from Qin Zhihao. 

"Yes, Milord. I will await your return to Jiang City," the old man replied before Qin Zhi vanished into nothingness. 

Qin Zhi had made himself invisible to the human eyes and made his way to the direction where the crow demons came from. His short black hair slowly changed to long, pale blonde that reached past his waist, while his eyes changed into golden ones. 

He leaped into the air and flew towards the northeast direction where he could sense a presence of a stronger demon. Aside from the crow demons, a familiar spiritual presence he hadn't sensed for a hundred years reached him. 

'Daji.' Qin Zhi couldn't be mistaken this time. Although her spiritual presence was very weak, there was no doubt that it was his sister that he hadn't seen alive or talked to for ages. She was obviously fighting with a demon stronger than her. 

'Daji, is it really you?' He asked inwardly, his eyes never leaving Shen Minyao's grinning face. 'Did you come here to hunt other demons?'

The scent and the spiritual presence should be enough for him to confirm her identity, but Qin Zhi was still a little shocked to see a young woman possessing the soul of his sister, fighting a crow demon. 

However, what was she doing here of all places? Did she escape Jiang City, knowing she was being hunted by the shamans? Until now, the Li shamans and the other exorcists—who wanted to kill her—were still trying to hunt her down. Qin Zhi had been paying attention to their movements to make sure that his sister wouldn't fall into their hands. 

There's no time for him to figure out the answers. He needed to see it for himself if it was truly his sister. He rushed to the place, hoping he would be able to help her this time. There was no way he would allow a weak demon to kill his sister! 

When he arrived at the scene, Qin Zhi wasn't expecting that a grim reaper was fighting the crow demon alongside his sister. He stood at a safe distance where he could see the ongoing battle clearly. He narrowed his eyes and spotted a human being enchanted by Xiao Bai's aura. 

If Xiao Bai was really here, then the young woman fighting with the leader of the crow demons was none other than his younger sister. Xiao Bai and Yu Yan were his sister's familiars, and they were always next to her. 

Qin Zhi stared at Shen Minyao's face and realized that she had gained another host to escape Qingqiu Mountain. She got a new face, a new identity that allowed her to hide and mingle amongst the humans. No wonder no one was able to find her easily. 

Qin Zhi had to give it to his sister for always finding a good way to turn the tides to her advantage. Those shamans probably didn't consider that she had gained another host in this era and was able to escape from Li Yun's seals at Qingqiu Mountain. 

He considered showing himself to his sister, but as he watched her play with her food, Qin Zhi wondered if she was strong enough to overcome her opponent in her current state. 

No. Qin Zhi decided. He knew well how arrogant and prideful his sister was, and she certainly wouldn't appreciate it if he came unannounced and killed her prey.
