My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 199 - Touching Her Bottomline (1)

The common Gu curse wasn't something anyone could easily break. However, this fox demon managed to overrule its owner and gain ownership of the Gu demon, the most powerful venomous demon that survived inside the pot. It was unbelievable that Shen Minyao managed to pull it off at her current state. 

The fox demon wasn't even at a high-ranking level by then, but she was able to make such an impossible task possible. 

Yan Lin could only watch in disbelief how easy it was for the young snake demon to defeat her men. As her minions fell under Baiyu's poisonous blood the moment they tasted it, Yan Lin knew that she was in trouble. She hadn't even made a move yet, but this fox demon was already able to turn the situation in her favor. 

"What now? Is there something else you want to discuss with me?" Shen Minyao asked her arrogantly. She then chuckled. "If you don't have any, then allow me to let you experience what your dear sister had gone through before she died in my hands." 

The moment Yan Lin met the fox demoness's red eyes, she had fallen under Shen Minyao's spell. In an instant, everything around her changed from the modern scene to what one could see inside the imperial harem. 

Yan Lin looked upon herself and noticed that she was wearing a traditional red robe—no, it was more like… it was her twin sister's favorite robe to wear when she was still alive. 

Yan Lin gritted her teeth in rage, but she was too helpless to free herself from the fox woman's spell. She could only force herself to witness the events that unfolded in front of her. None of these memories were familiar to her, as she had never been inside the huge cage of many beautiful women. However, that was the imperial harem. 

She watched her own body laugh amongst the other concubines as they bullied their maids and servants as a pastime. Rather than seeing them improve their skills, Yan Lin witnessed how her twin sister forced the other lower concubines to cooperate with her torture. 

It was only after a certain Su Daji entered and joined the imperial harem that the tides turned against her twin sister. The fox demoness took a liking to her sister and tortured her in every way possible. 

Yan Lin screamed at the pain she felt as her sister was forced to dance on a horizontal pole slathered with oil that was turning around over a hot, burning coal pit underneath it. So, this was what Shen Minyao meant when she said that she wanted Yan Lin to live the last moments of her sister's death.

The more intense the pain grew, the more Yan Lin cursed the fox demoness in her heart. The stories about Su Daji were pale in comparison to what she truly was, and Yan Lin had never met any demon as vicious and ruthless as this fox demoness. 

"So how was it, Consort Yan? How does it feel to be the one subjected to torture for someone else's entertainment?" 

Yan Lin watched as the Imperial Noble Consort, Su Daji, mocked her severely injured twin sister. Her sister's whole body was covered with lashes from the whips with thorns that cracked against her a hundred times, the soles of her feet were burned, and her fingernails were missing from her once beautiful hands. 

"Why do you care?" The sister sneered menacingly at Su Daji, who was seated leisurely on her throne, with a young human fanning her to relieve the heat. 

"They are just humans." She glanced at the young Feng Jiu. If she didn't plot to kidnap and torture this fox demoness's human, Su Daji wouldn't have come after her and cause trouble at all. 

"Their lives are fleeting and useless. They are just livestock for us demons to feed on." She reasoned out. "Don't tell me you sympathize with these humans now!" 

"My, my, how could you compare me to those tailless monkeys?" Su Daji laughed behind her hand. Her long, sharp nails that were painted with red glinted under the light. "I was merely curious. Have you never wondered how long could a demon survive torture compared to a human? Since you still look fine and haven't broken down yet, I would need to change my tactics." 

And so, the fox woman did. She ordered for Consort Yan to be thrown in the deepest and darkest dungeon, where one couldn't use their five senses within. No light could permeate inside, no sound was made nor could be heard… no scent indicated what was around her. The place was neither hot nor cold, and Consort Yan's mind was then pushed to the brink of insanity. 

Consort Yan screamed at the top of her lungs, insulted Su Daji, called her unthinkable names—she even begged after three months of being kept inside without a visitor. It was too much for her. She wasn't sure what the fox woman did to her beforehand, but her injuries weren't healing at their normal speed. 

In fact, Consort Yan felt like she had become human. The wounds she sustained months ago still remained and didn't even begin to heal yet. Her throat ached from dryness and hunger at the same time. She needed to feed on a human soon, to drink and feast on their blood. 

Three months turned into half a year, and it was only by then that Consort Yan was dragged out of that dungeon. The moment she was taken outside, the brightness of the sky was enough to blind the blood-sucking demoness. Her pitiful cries reached Su Daji's ears, which only made the fox woman smile in amusement. 

"Ah, didn't you beg each day for me to let you out of that dungeon? Why are you screaming like a pig being slaughtered by a human now?" Imperial Consort Su questioned Consort Yan who now looked nothing like the temptress that she was before. 

If anyone familiar with Consort Yan from before saw her in such a horrible state, they would never have believed that this was the same beautiful woman who used to terrorize her maids and servants for entertainment. 

Some had said that she was only swallowing the bitterness of her own medicine, while others thought that their new Imperial Noble Consort was just too frightening to be offended. Even the empress was helpless against Imperial Noble Consort Su and couldn't do anything against her. 

"Hmm… you are still alive after half a year without feeding." Su Daji sighed, feigning helplessness because of the scene in front of her, "Then, I would have no choice but to watch how long you could stay alive while burning at the stake." 

This was the most horrible thing Yan Lin witnessed in her long life as a demon. She had heard a few details about how her sister died in Su Daji's hands. However, she had never thought that the fox demoness would even push her to tread the same path her sister had gone through. 

She hated the fox demoness the more she laid her eyes on the terrible situation her twin sister suffered. No wonder her sister didn't make it back alive after entering the imperial harem. It was precisely because her dear sister had fallen into this fox demoness's hands! 

If she didn't avenge her sister's death, then she couldn't face her sister in the afterlife! 

Being burned alive as a demon, Consort Yan would obviously not die as fast as a human would. Consort Yan struggled to break free from the ties that bound her, but she couldn't escape despite her inhuman strength. 

Just what kind of material did Su Daji use for her to get a hold on a demon like the blood-sucking demoness? Consort Yan, even Yan Lin, was certain that there were only a very few things that could stop a demon like this. At that time, it was impossible for a human to bind a strong demoness just as Su Daji had. 

The Imperial Noble Consort watched bemusedly as her human servant poured her a cup of tea. Consort Yan's screams instilled fear on those who had heard it, the unfortunate souls wondering just what kind of pain she was in for her to howl like that. It was enough to leave the humans to suffer from sleepless nights and nightmares after her death because of it. 

As Shen Minyao released Yan Lin from her spell, the blood-sucking demoness fell to her knees… with her face contorted in so much murderous intent towards the fox woman. 

"Su Daji! I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!" Yan Lin yelled at Shen Minyao, who remained unperturbed in her seat upon seeing the other demoness's reaction. 

"Oh? You want to kill me? Then do tell, Miss Yan, do you have the capability? If not, you are just coming after me to end your own life instead."
