My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

If only he wasn\'t a fool for being distracted by their enemies, he wouldn\'t have left Feng Jiu on her own. He had thought that since his sister was around, no one could easily lay a hand on his mortal wife. How wrong Qin Zhi was when he and Su Daji learned that Feng Jiu was kidnapped by Xuan Yanrui\'s men, only to be killed in the middle of the battlefield. 

It was Su Daji who found Feng Jiu first, trapped in a magic circle placed by humans to forbid the fox woman from reaching her. Su Daji was forced to unleash her nine tails and use her whole strength to break the barrier that locked her out from Feng Jiu. 

Qin Zhi knew how dangerous it was for his sister to reveal her real form in front of everyone then and there to save his wife, but he couldn\'t fault her one bit. He would have done the same if he was in her shoes back then. 

Soon, Qin Zhi and Li Fei\'er eradicated other demons they encountered along the way, but none of them were prepared to meet a blood-sucking demoness with her two companions. They were feeding on a pair of drunkards that they had dragged in a deserted alley away from humans\' eyes. 

They immediately stopped whatever they were doing, their red eyes meeting the bright amber ones of Qin Zhi and Li Fei\'er\'s alert stance. 

"My, my, what do we have here?" The leader of the brood stood up and gave the two a good look. "If it isn\'t our Southern Demon Lord himself… I couldn\'t believe I\'m seeing him with my own eyes." 

Her blood-tainted lips curled into a smile when she recognized Qin Zhi. She didn\'t expect that she would meet the demon lord as soon as she arrived at Jiang City. 

The woman had such a voluptuous body and looks that could entice any man to do her bidding just so he could possess such beauty. However, the two men accompanying her looked menacing and grew impatient to attack Qin Zhi and Li Fei\'er. 

Li Fei\'er glanced at her companion, wondering what the blood-sucking demoness meant. The woman called Qin Zhi the Southern Demon Lord. She wasn\'t that dumb not to know that Qin Zhi was a powerful demon, but she had never surmised that he was a demon lord that had a territory to protect. 

Qin Zhi ignored her questioning look and wondered just how many blood-sucking demonesses have gone to Jiang City. He didn\'t think that there would be a brood of them coming here. Shen Minyao wouldn\'t be able to defeat the brood on her own if it was the case. 

"You are in the wrong place, woman," he said in response, not giving them a hint of what he had on mind. 

The woman then glanced in Li Fei\'er\'s way with an amused smile, making Qin Zhi squint his eyes in suspicion. Did they know something about Li Fei\'er? 

No, they couldn\'t possibly find out that Li Fei\'er was the incarnation of his wife. Not many demons were aware of what Feng Jiu looked like when she was still alive centuries ago, and even if someone knew it, they wouldn\'t be that foolish to aggravate him, the Southern Demon Lord. 

"My, my, Lord Qin, you have such an odd taste in women, I see. Your deceased wife was a human, and yet again, you are being acquainted with another one just like her." The demoness mocked Qin Zhi. 

The shock in Li Fei\'er was written all over her face when she heard what the demoness said. Qin Zhi\'s previous wife was a human? Was it even possible? She had never heard of a demon taking a human as a bride before. However… 

"I\'m not just a human, filthy demon. I can kick your ass if I want to." Li Fei\'er refused to be intimidated by the demoness. It was one thing to look down on her, but to provoke Qin Zhi using his dead wife was something she could not forgive. 

Regardless of their races, if Qin Zhi had indeed taken a human woman as his wife, wouldn\'t this mean he had forsaken a lot of things just to be with her? 

Li Fei\'er wasn\'t a romantic and idealistic person. She wasn\'t sure what kind of situation Qin Zhi had before, but no one had the right to talk badly about his wife in front of him. It might not be obvious to everyone, but she could tell that there was a hint of remorse in his eyes when the demon mentioned his wife. 

Her spiritual presence intensified, surprising not only the three demons in front of them but also Qin Zhi. Qin Zhi didn\'t expect that she would be sensitive like this. Just how many similarities did she share with Feng Jiu? It almost made him think that aside from their names and spiritual power, everything Feng Jiu was had been retained on Li Fei\'er.

Feng Jiu was the kind of person everyone could get along with because of her sunny and gentle personality. However, not many were aware that she grew short-tempered when it came to people who disrespect those close to her heart. 

"A shaman?" The demoness was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. She looked at Qin Zhi with suspicion. 

Why would a high-ranking demon like Qin Zhi be accompanied by a shaman? One didn\'t need half a brain to know that shamans were the natural enemies of demons like them. What could be the reason for this demon lord to keep a young shaman with him?

"Demoness, you know the consequences of trespassing into my territory," Qin Zhi said, pointing his naginata against the three demons. 

The demoness chuckled and lifted her sharp claws to cup her chin. 

"Lord Qin, you are such a bad host, don\'t you think? I wasn\'t expecting that this was the hospitality that awaits us here." She taunted the demon lord. Her two companions could sense the murderous intent coming from her and stood next to her. 

In the blink of an eye, both parties moved forward in an offensive position. The demoness, along with her companions, tried to overwhelm Qin Zhi. However, with Li Fei\'er by his side, they weren\'t able to land a hit on his body because of the spell Li Fei\'er put around him. 

Sparks of electricity appeared around Qin Zhi\'s body at every hit, their demonic power being purified by Li Fei\'er\'s spell. What was odd was that Qin Zhi wasn\'t affected by such a purifying spell himself. 

\'How is this possible?\' The blood-sucking woman thought. \'Don\'t tell me he was once again smitten by a human?\'

It was weird for her to see a demon getting along with a shaman that even their stances were in sync with each other. It was as if they had been hunting demons together for a long time. 

She was then slightly startled when the blade of Qin Zhi\'s naginata left a shallow wound on her beautiful face. 

"You…" 

This clearly agitated the demoness, and her attacks became stronger and unpredictable. The more she attacked Qin Zhi, the more her senses blurred, not knowing that she had already fallen into Li Fei\'er\'s eternal sleep spell along with her companions. 

In reality, Qin Zhi had already stopped his attacks when he deemed it safe to step back, watching the three demons relentlessly attack one another without recognizing who was in front of them. He took a side glance at Li Fei\'er. Clearly, she wasn\'t used to casting such an advanced spell to trap demons in an illusion. 

\'Such a dangerous spell,\' he thought. If Li Fei\'er was able to master it, her illusion and enchantment could be comparable to what Shen Minyao had. 

Li Fei\'er focused her attention on her binding spell. The Eternal Sleep spell was a high-level enchantment spell that not many shamans could use, considering how much willpower was required from its caster. 

"Mr. Qin, can you please kill them swiftly? I don\'t think I would be able to hold onto it any longer," she asked Qin Zhi with a weak smile. 

Qin Zhi didn\'t need to be told twice and beheaded the three demons, taking their demon orbs in the process. 

Once he was done, Li Fei\'er slowly deactivated her spell and fell to her knees. She then held her breath as the remains of the demons Qin Zhi killed slowly disintegrated into nothingness. 

"I think that\'s all for today," Qin Zhi said as he helped her get back on her feet. "Shen Minyao wouldn\'t be pleased if she found out you were harmed under my watch." 

Li Fei\'er laughed at that. Oddly, she felt satisfied with how her day went today. As a shaman being coddled by her family, she longed to experience encounters against demons like this. 

"No, Mr. Qin.. Thank you for trusting me to accompany you today."
