My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 137 - StarCrossed Lovers (2)

Monday came, and Li Fei'er's worries were forgotten when she saw Shen Minyao present for their class. However, she had to wait for their physical education class before she could ask her friend what happened during their inspection at the fourth district. The moment Shen Minyao stepped out of the dressing room, Li Fei'er sought her. 

"Classmate Shen, are you alright? You didn't come to class last Friday," she asked. 

"I'm fine," Shen Minyao replied as they waited for their teacher to come. She was a little uncomfortable with her clothes. Perhaps because in the past, showing this much skin was forbidden by society and considered atrocious. 

"Classmate Shen, you have to be careful. I'm not sure if it was just a coincidence, but I heard from my father that the nine-tailed fox demon was spotted in the fourth district," Li Fei'er informed her. "We don't know what she was doing there, but we have yet to confirm if the demons at the fourth district were connected to her." 

"You should be the one wary of the fox demon, Classmate Li, not me." The fox woman gave her a small smile. "But thanks for the warning. I'll keep that in mind." 

She didn't mean to make a fool of Li Fei'er, but it was hard for her to keep her distance from the young woman. If the day came and Li Fei'er found out who she really was, Shen Minyao wouldn't be surprised if the young woman came to hate her. 

"How was your last visit with the ghost girl? I assume Mr. Jiang helped you?" She spoke again, changing the topic between them. 

"Hmm…" Li Fei'er nodded. "We helped them leave the mortal realm together, and it was a heartfelt reunion between Jin Qian and her mother." 

Then, it was a good thing that she ended up not coming with them, Shen Minyao thought. She didn't want to witness such a thing between humans. 

After all, she just woke up the night before and had used the time to catch up with her elder brother, Qin Zhi. Qin Zhi also offered her protection, but she declined. 

They might be siblings, but that didn't mean the fox woman liked to rely on her brother. Her pride wouldn't allow her to do so. 

As she looked at Li Fei'er's face, she realized she wasn't sure if her brother would really ignore Li Fei'er's existence. 

The class continued too slowly for the fox woman's liking. She was also planning to see Zhao Yichen today since they hadn't talked for a week now. According to the last message he sent yesterday, he had already left the city hospital and returned home. He also didn't forget to send his current address, just in case she wanted to pay him a visit. 

"We only have two weeks until the midterm exams. Have you started reviewing our lessons?" Li Fei'er said, reminding Shen Minyao of the bet she made with Xu Shenshen and Shen Qing. 

"Ah, now that you mention it." Shen Minyao hummed as she pondered about her options. Although the memories of her host remained in her mind, there were just some details that the fox woman hadn't fully understood. 

"I think I can manage. There's no way I would lose to those two." 

Shen Minyao couldn't wait to slap those two nincompoops to her heart's content. She was getting bored with playing with those two and would want to win the bet as soon as possible. 

Perhaps she could ask Zhao Yichen for help. Since he wouldn't be doing anything soon, he had the free time to tutor her on some subjects that proved to be challenging for the fox woman. She had only been posing as Shen Minyao for a few weeks, and she admitted that there's still more for her to learn to be able to mingle amongst humans without a problem. 

There were times that she was struggling to understand her lessons and needed to rely on her host memories frequently. However, she didn't like that. If she was to beat Xu Shenshen and Shen Qing, she didn't want to rely on Shen Minyao's memories. 

"Then, if you have time, why don't we study together? Since I transferred a little too late, I have missed some of the lessons," Li Fei'er suggested. 

"Okay. I'll ask the landlady later, so I can get you a visitor's pass for the dormitory." 

It's not a bad idea anyway, since Li Fei'er wasn't a bad student and could easily follow their lessons without a problem. 

"Sounds like a plan," the young shaman replied. "I haven't seen Xu Shenshen for some time now." 

"Who cares what she is up to? They were the ones who asked for the bet, but she and Shen Qing frequently missed their classes." The fox woman scoffed. 

"It seems they are confident that you would lose the bet," Li Fei'er agreed with her. "Don't you think they are planning to cheat?" 

"We could only wait and see," Shen Minyao replied. "Let's go. The teacher is here." 

Li Fei'er groaned as she followed the fox woman. She hated physical education classes as she wasn't really athletic. She envied Shen Minyao who could easily pull a stunt and the activities their teacher asked for. 

"I hate this class. Why can't I just sit on the bench while you play with others?" She muttered next to Shen Minyao. "I don't mind spending an hour with Little Master while you do." 

Today, they were supposed to have a volleyball game with their classmates. Their class was divided into four teams, with Shen Minyao and Li Fei'er being on the same team. With her newly consumed energy, Shen Minyao felt better today.

"Don't worry, if you think you can't hit the ball, just leave it to me." The fox woman chuckled at Li Fei'er's annoyance. Even in her past life, Little Jiu hated long walks with her and would rather choose to wait for her mistress's return.
