My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 122 - Easier Said Than Done (2)

Qin Zhi clenched his fists on his side, but he knew that it wasn't his time to interfere yet. However, if she were to shed human blood yet again, there's no doubt that all the shamans and the exorcists in the world would hunt her down for a kill. 

If that was supposed to happen, then he would have no other choice but to vanquish the humans who would dare to hurt his sister. 

This enchantment spell would weaken her, though. In her current state, his sister could only control a handful of humans in a limited time. 

His sister was able to enchant things around her, regardless of what it was made of. She could amplify its strength and constitution at will. So it didn't matter if her weapon was made from the weakest material on earth. Even the thinnest silk thread would be as sharp as a blade if she enchanted it.

However, enchanting humans to become her puppets was a high-level skill that not even Qin Zhi was capable of using. 

The humans mindlessly moved below the crow demon, wandering to the nearest light source they could find and turning it on. Suddenly, all the establishments and buildings that surrounded Shen Minyao and the crow demons were engulfed in a blinding light. 

"W-what? What is this?" The crow demon tried to protect his eyes with his arm and wing from it. He tried to fly away, but the barrier Shen Minyao set earlier forbade him to escape. 

"Heh. Just like what I thought." Shen Minyao chuckled amusedly. "Like your fellow crows, you can't tolerate too much light, huh?" 

"Damn you, fox!" The crow demon yelled at her. Not many demons knew the weaknesses of their kind, but to think that this woman would take advantage of it…? It would be impossible for him to stay in the spotlight without being killed. 

"Heh, don't think you can escape from me this time. I didn't come all the way here just to have my precious dinner spoiled by you," Shen Minyao said, closing her fan as she looked at the other demon with amusement.

"I'll kill you!" This time, the crow demon threw away the idea of taking her to his master and decided to kill the fox woman himself, regardless of what his master would think of it. 

"Eh? What changed your mind?" The fox woman continued to taunt him. "You aren't willing to deliver me to your master?" Her half-lidded eyes looked at him, filled with mockery. 

The crow demon was taken aback by her words, but his expression was enough for Shen Minyao to know what he was even thinking. 

"So I was right." The fox woman laughed uncontrollably and held her stomach, wary of falling from the high place she was standing on. "A demon like you has come to succumb to the will of a pathetic human. Hahahaha!" 

"What did you say?" Mu Qing narrowed his eyes on that. "Do you mean they are being used by that wretched exorcist?" 

"Hmm, who knows?" The fox woman shrugged as the effect of her enchantment to the hundreds of humans below then started to weaken. As expected of her current state, even her mind control over these weak humans was limited. 

However, her words were enough for Mu Qing to know what was happening. A human exorcist was attempting to force the demons into submission by allowing them to feed freely on the humans?

The infestation of the demons at the city hospital and Spring Hill High… couldn't be just a coincidence that both cases had a common denominator. The barriers, the number of human souls that had been lost from both cases… Mu Qing found it suspicious how the demonic activity rose significantly in the past years. 

"You wretched fox! I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!" The crow demon's eyes flashed red in rage, his hands tightening on his spear. He surged forward, intending to kill Shen Minyao in one strike. However, she was able to stop his blade with her bare hands. 

"Hey, now. Don't tell me this is all you've got." Shen Minyao arched a slender brow, her expression one void of any emotion. 

"Enchant." Her word flowed out, and the blade resting between her two fingers snapped into smithereens. She then kicked the crow demon in its guts, sending it away from her. 

His body collided with the opposite building, leaving destruction in his wake. As the humans slowly recovered their consciousness, some were unlucky enough that they perished from the ruins the crow demon created. 

Seeing her like this, Mu Qing then realized that he knew nothing about this woman after all. She was an unpredictable creature, one that couldn't be easily swayed by anyone. She looked down on human lives and took amusement from their despair and sufferings. 

This… knowing that an outlaw exorcist was causing them trouble, was it really alright to get involved with this fox woman? 

Shen Minyao huffed and flicked the small demonic orbs on her mouth one by one, allowing her strength to replenish.

'I need more,' she thought. She then flicked her fan open and killed the other crow demons with her wind slash ability. 

The shrill cry of the birds resounded around them, with Shen Minyao raising her hand to accumulate the demon orbs that she needed. 

"Accept your fate, vermin. You are destined to be devoured by me." She laughed wickedly, waiting for the crow demon leader to get back on his feet. 

'Get angrier… hate me. The demon orb tastes better when it's full of animosity.' 

The crow demon slowly rose to his feet and discarded his broken weapon. This time, Shen Minyao and Mu Qing felt the sudden change in his demonic aura. Deep-red demonic energy surged through his body, engulfing him wholly. The fangs in his mouth grew longer, as he took on a crouch, preparing to launch his body at Shen Minyao. 

"Die! Die! Die!"
