My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Shen Minyao thought that she would be able to return to her dormitory room and spend the rest of her day reading webnovels in peace. How did she end up at the backseat of Jiang Chen's car, with Li Fei'er seated next to her? 

With Jiang Chen working as a paranormal investigator, Shen Minyao had the inkling that he was loaded with money at a young age. She had seen the high-tech devices he and Lu Anqi were using earlier. It seemed Jiang Chen was a reliable psychic, unlike those wannabes Shen Minyao had seen in the mainstream media. 

The heavy rain had finally ceased, but everywhere the fox woman looked were soaking wet. As Jiang Chen pulled the car up at a stop in the parking lot of an apartment complex, she briefly wondered why she even agreed to accompany the three for an ocular inspection of Bai Xinran's apartment. 

As she alighted from the car with the rest of the humans, Xiao Bai rested on her shoulder again while looking around. This time, Li Fei'er couldn't stop herself from questioning the fox woman. 

"Classmate Shen, I've been meaning to ask. Is that your familiar?" Li Fei'er pointed towards the fat white cat. 

Shen Minyao raised a brow and lifted her hand to touch Xiao Bai's head. 

"Oh? You can see me now, Young Lady?" Xiao Bai commented, which made Li Fei'er gasped in surprise. 

"Ah! It could speak human tongue!" She exclaimed, garnering the attention of both Jiang Chen and Lu Anqi. 

"Is there something wrong, Miss Li?" Lu Anqi asked.

"You can't see Classmate Shen's familiar?" Li Fei'er asked in return. 

Lu Anqi shook her head and turned to look at her partner. "Can you see it, Mr. Jiang?" 

If Li Fei'er could see it, it's possible that Jiang Chen had already seen it. 

Jiang Chen gave Shen Minyao a questioning look, but the fox woman only shrugged. A demon having a familiar? Actually, it wasn't unheard of. Some high-ranking demons had lesser demons to serve them, but Shen Minyao's familiar wasn't even a demon. It was a mythical creature. 

How did this demoness manage to get a mythical creature as her familiar? The more Jiang Chen thought about Shen Minyao, the more questions arose in his mind. 

"You mean the white fatty cat on her shoulder? I saw it the moment we met them," he responded. Of course, he had seen it. Shen Minyao probably allowed the white cat to follow her anywhere because normal humans wouldn't be able to see it. 

"What? A white fatty cat?! I wanna see it, too!" Lu Anqi, who loved collecting cute items, turned her eyes into slits as she tried to look at the white cat on Shen Minyao's shoulder. However, no matter how hard she focused on it, she couldn't see anything. 

"I can't see it, but why? I wanna see it, too." Her face fell when she realized she was the only one who couldn't see Shen Minyao's familiar. 

"Don't be sad, Schoolmate Lu. Actually, I couldn't see it clearly last week." Li Fei'er immediately explained. "I could only sense a presence next to Classmate Shen before. Then, as the days passed, I started to see a faint figure next to her as if it was almost a ghost. Then, today, I can see it clearly." 

"And it actually speaks to you? Waahhh! I'm so envious of you, Miss Li!" 

To think that she was the only one who wasn't able to see Shen Minyao's familiar, did this mean she was the weakest of them all?

"You don't have to be envious of her, Lu Anqi. Miss Li is a young shaman after all. The more she has experience dealing with demons and ghosts alike, the stronger she would become," Shen Minyao explained while giving Jiang Chen a pointed look, "Seeing spirits and demons isn't all sunshine. For some humans, it's a curse to have this sight." 

Jiang Chen should know better… the danger Lu Anqi would face once her sixth sense was totally functioning. 

"Yes, that only means you are getting stronger, Young Lady." Xiao Bai rubbed his face with his paw. Just like in her past life, Little Jiu was able to see him and Yu Yan in such a short span of time after spending some time next to Su Daji. 

If it was because Li Fei'er was close to Shen Minyao that made her more in tune with spirits, the fat white cat wasn't certain. After all, humans were able to unlock and master their sixth sense the more they used it. 

"Really? Do you really mean it?" Li Fei'er beamed a smile at Xiao Bai. Her eyes shone with excitement, in contrast to the gloomy weather outside. 

"The fact that you can also hear my voice is already an indication that you're getting stronger, Young Lady. Not many humans have the ability to see us," Xiao Bai added. 

"Ah, that's great to hear! Thank you, Mr. Cat!" 

"Don't call me a cat! I'm not a cat!" Xiao Bai hissed. "You should call me Little Master!" He said in annoyance. Although he and Yu Yan looked like cats, they were nothing like those feline creatures! 

'Like what you used to call me before,' he added mentally. 

Little Jiu's smiling face whenever she called him 'Little Master' crossed his mind. Xiao Bai couldn't believe that the little human his lady chose to take under her wing had managed to earn a soft spot on him and on Yu Yan. 

"Okay, Little Master. I will listen to you, so please don't be mad at me anymore, will you?" Li Fei'er's mood was too good; she almost forgot the reason why she and Shen Minyao came here. 

"Let's not waste another second here." Shen Minyao grumbled. She supposed she needed to learn to say 'no' when it comes to Li Fei'er's request next time. 

"Let's go." Jiang Chen nodded.. "Bai Xinran's mother is expecting us tonight."
