My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Li Fei'er shot her eyes open in shock, not expecting someone to be here and for them to manage to save her from the fall. She took in the appearance of her savior and noticed how the young woman's hair was long and as dark as the night, her brown eyes glinting even in the darkness. 

Her face was cold as ice, not showing any expression on it as she held Li Fei'er close. Her skin was smooth, pale, and free from any blemishes; which made Li Fei'er wonder if this woman was a celebrity, given how good her appearance was. 

The wraith made a howl again, and the glass window on the hallway was smashed into smithereens. The shattered pieces of glass were about to hit them, making Li Fei'er worried about the woman in front of her. However, the young woman seemed unperturbed as she pulled Li Fei'er back to her feet and covered her eyes with one hand to protect her from the shards of broken glass. 

This also gave Shen Minyao a chance to deflect the other shards by waving her arm, effectively crushing the pieces of glasses that were about to hit them. Her amber eyes glowed, face contorting into a frown as she regarded the wraith several meters away from them. 

When Li Fei'er pulled away from her and saw what happened, Shen Minyao's eyes already turned back to normal, so she didn't suspect that the woman in front of her wasn't really a human after all. 

"T-thank you." Li Fei'er stuttered, but she knew she had to thank this stranger who came to help. However, she was confused by what the woman said earlier, but it didn't seem like the woman was going to explain it to her given the circumstances they were in right now. 

"Do you realize your mistake now? A moment of hesitation on your part could result in your death," Shen Minyao said, her eyes fixed on the wraith, who grew more agitated because of Li Fei'er's previous action. If Li Fei'er had decided to perform an exorcism earlier when the wraith was under her binding spell, she would have a chance to kill it. 

Li Fei'er chewed her lower lip and looked away. Of course, she knew that. However, the thought that, perhaps, there was still a chance to purify this wraith back to its human soul state had crossed her mind. If she exorcised this wraith, that only meant the human soul that it was before would never have a chance to reincarnate. 

"I know, but…" 

"It's not your fault he turned out this way." Shen Minyao cut her off as she pulled Li Fei'er's wrist to run away from the wraith. "It was him who couldn't let go." 

Li Fei'er was still confused about the identity of this woman and wondered if she was also a shaman like her. How come she never sensed another human's presence while she was dealing with the wraith earlier? When she lured the wraith here, she was sure there wasn't any human near the vicinity. 

Unless this woman was strong enough to hide her spiritual presence from anyone, including shamans like her, Li Fei'er thought. If this woman was a ghost like the kid she'd met earlier, there was no way this woman would be able to touch her. If the woman was a demon, she shouldn't be able to get in this place without getting affected. 

"Make up your mind or get killed by it." Shen Minyao told her once they reached the dead end. They reached the center of the ceremonial hall, which was also ideal for Li Fei'er to exorcise the wraith for once and for all. 

Li Fei'er knew that she didn't have enough time to think and decide what to do with the wraith, but if she couldn't deal with it, the wraith would surely come after the innocent humans dwelling around the hospital. 

Gritting her teeth in frustration, Li Fei'er pulled out her paper talismans again to bind the wraith in place. Although it pained her to think that she wouldn't be able the human soul to get reincarnated, the fact that the wraith would cause more damage in the future was enough reason for her to exorcise it. 

Shen Minyao stepped aside, and Xiao Bai leaped back on her shoulder, both watching Li Fei'er perform an exorcism ritual once the wraith had been trapped with her binding spell. 

"Is she strong enough to kill it?" Shen Minyao asked the white cat. 

"Her spiritual energy is depleting fast because of the binding spell she's using." This only meant that Li Fei'er would need to exorcise the wraith before her spiritual energy ran out. 

The fox woman had a complex expression written all over her face. A part of her wanted to stay out and not get involved with Little Jiu's current incarnation, wanting her to lead a happy and peaceful life that the fox woman couldn't give to the girl when they were together in their previous lives. 

However, seeing Li Fei'er struggle to keep a hold on the wraith as she started chanting the spell to exorcise it made Shen Minyao uncomfortable seeing her in such a state. 

"Give me your talisman and focus on your chants." She demanded Li Fei'er who was shocked by the woman's sudden appearance behind her. Since when did she come next to the shaman? She was almost like a ghost. 

Meanwhile, the grim reaper had just arrived after following them. He didn't bother making a move to help both women and decided to be a spectator of this fight. 

The odd demoness said she didn't care about the human shaman, but her action said otherwise the moment the young shaman hit the window and was about to fall off from it. 

A human might be able to survive a thirty-foot fall, but she would surely suffer serious injuries from it.. There was no doubt that the demoness knew who the girl was.
