My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Shen Minyao raised a slender brow at that, but she didn't utter any word in response. She didn't have the time to poke on someone else's business. However, the same couldn't be said about Li Fei'er who had just heard the question of the young woman called Lu Anqi to their schoolmate. 

Apparently, a student from the sophomore year had committed suicide, and Lu Anqi and the unknown man wanted to know what the dead girl was doing before she died. 

"Someone took their life?" Li Fei'er asked and then covered her mouth in shock. "I'm so sorry! We didn't mean to overhear your conversation!" She blurted out once she realized her mistake. It wasn't her place to get involved in someone's business, but her attention was piqued upon overhearing Lu Anqi's questions. 

"Classmate Shen, you must also apologize." She nudged the fox woman, but Shen Minyao scoffed. 

"Why do I have to apologize to these psychics? I didn't know our school's security was so lacking that they allowed strangers to come and go as they pleased." Shen Minyao flipped her hair to her back and looked nonchalantly at the pair in front of her. 

"Oh, no. I'm not a psychic! I'm merely just an assistant to Mr. Jiang." Lu Anqi waved both of her hands and gave the man accompanying her a pleading look, telling him to help her explain. 

"Oh?" The fox woman blinked at Lu Anqi's response, and then her eyes shifted back to the man standing next to Lu Anqi. 

Through his gaze, Shen Minyao had the gist of the situation between the two. It seemed that the young woman hadn't realized that she had her latent ESP, unlike Zhao Yichen who was still denying his ability to see demons and ghosts alike. If he hadn't been attuned to the supernatural things around him, Zhao Yichen wouldn't be able to wake her up from her deep slumber and enter a contract with her a few weeks ago. 

Ah, how irritating. If he was concerned about his little assistant, then he should give better training to her, not attract the spirits wherever she went. Didn't he know how dangerous it would be for his companion if she didn't know how to control her ability? 

Lu Anqi would be targeted by the spirits roaming around, regardless of whether they were good or not. It would do no good if he kept her ability a secret from her for too long, or else her life would face greater danger. 

"Are you psychics as well? How come I never heard there's a psychic in our school?" Lu Anqi asked Li Fei'er awkwardly. 

"Because you keep missing school, dimwit," the man next to her answered with a scoff, "I told you to finish high school first before joining our team." 

"Hey! You don't have to tell me that in front of everyone!" Lu Anqi scolded him. It wasn't her fault that she found ghost-hunting more exciting than doing her school work. This was one of the rare times Lu Anqi couldn't wait to graduate from high school, so she could focus on work along with Jiang Chen. 

"Oh, we are not psychics," Li Fei'er finally answered and then glanced at Shen Minyao. Her classmate still refused to tell her what her classmate was ever since she questioned Shen Minyao about it before, so she had no idea about Shen Minyao's real identity yet. 

"I'm Li Fei'er, and this is my friend, Shen Minyao. I'm a shaman, and I do exorcism rituals and divination to clear some areas infested with demons and ghosts," she introduced themselves. 

"Are you really disclosing such a secret to these two?" Shen Minyao asked her in disbelief, "What if they weren't real psychics and scammers instead? What would you do?" 

Li Fei'er only nodded and smiled at the fox woman. Shen Minyao might pretend she didn't care, but Li Fei'er knew that her classmate would never let her come close to danger. Despite Shen Minyao's harsh words and tone, she was just looking out for Li Fei'er.

"I don't think so. Classmate Shen would have pulled me out from here if you deemed them dangerous. If they were scammers, you would have kicked them out on the spot," she said confidently, leaving the fox woman speechless. To think that Little Jiu's current incarnation was still bound to her, trusting her like this…

"Are you really a psychic?" The girl talking with Lu Anqi earlier asked the man in black. She then said almost pleadingly, "Then, could you really help me find out why Ranran killed herself?" 

"En." He nodded and then responded, "Liang Sisi, it would be better if you could cooperate with us to find the truth about your friend's death and clear the rumors of the so-called cursed webnovel." 

"Wait. Are you talking about the author of the cursed webnovel, Yu Lai?" Li Fei'er couldn't believe the author could have been her schoolmate… if only Yu Lai didn't kill herself three months ago. 

"Ah, so you already heard about those rumors?" Lu Anqi then turned to Li Fei'er. "I'm actually quite surprised that she was a student here." 

"Soon, others would come here to question you about Bai Xinran's death." Jiang Chen reminded her. "Although we don't know what caused her readers' deaths, there's no denying that the instances started following her death." 

Liang Sisi chewed her lower lip and fiddled the hem of her blouse. The death of Bai Xinran had shocked not only her but also those who were close to the Bai family. Although Bai Xinran preferred being on her own and had suicidal thoughts once in a while, ever since she started writing her books online, her mood had considerably grown better. 

Meanwhile, Shen Minyao rubbed her head. She never thought that that cursed webnovel would somehow be able to find her and Li Fei'er to get involved with the case.. Just when she thought she would be able to get a short break after all the ruckus she faced earlier.
