"I visited Liang Sisi yesterday," Jiang Chen said out of the blue, his eyes never leaving the road.

"And you are telling me this because?" The fox woman asked.

"I sensed a trace of demonic aura on her. You met her, didn't you?" His voice had an accusing tone to it.

"Oh? You can tell?" Shen Minyao chuckled in amusement. She hadn't met an interesting person like Jiang Chen ever since she woke up. In the past, it was Li Yun whom she usually nagged to no end.

Jiang Chen frowned at her words. "You aren't going to deny it?"

The fox woman shrugged and looked outside the window of the passenger seat.

"Unlike you humans, demons don't need to give excuses to save our faces. We do what we want, regardless of what others think of it," she told him.

What's the point of making excuses? Whether she fed on Liang Sisi's weakness or not, Jiang Chen and the others wouldn't be able to stop her.

"You shouldn't have fed on her," he said, "She lost her mind."

"Oh, I assure you. The screws on her head were already loose when she came to confront me," the fox woman said in defense.

"She came to see you?" Jiang Chen gave her a quick glance. That was something no one was aware of.

Shen Minyao hummed. She wasn't the only one responsible for Liang Sisi's current state. If she hadn't come to the fox woman, Liang Sisi wouldn't have ended the way she was today.

"She suspected that we knew about what she did to Bai Xinran and threatened my life. Anyway, I couldn't let her go unscathed, knowing that she would go after Li Fei'er and Lu Anqi. It was either I feed on her so she could leave.. or kill her to silence her for good."

Jiang Chen had no words for that. He wasn't aware that Liang Sisi was suspicious of them, but if she was to harm Li Fei'er and Lu Anqi because of their involvement with the case, he would never be able to forgive himself for dragging the two into the problem.

Still, he disapproved of what this demoness did to Liang Sisi. She shouldn't have forced Liang Sisi into insanity. A human being fed on by a demon like Shen Minyao wouldn't survive for too long as they would eventually fall sick until they succumbed to death.

That's why Jiang Chen wouldn't be surprised if, one of these days, the news of Liang Sisi's death reached his ears. Shen Minyao must have done a good feeding on Liang Sisi to leave her in such a pitiful state.

"So do you have any idea what kind of demon we have to deal with now?" He heard Shen Minyao ask.

"No, and that's basically the problem. We won't know how to cast it off if we don't know what it is," he admitted.

"Hmm, Li Fei'er would be the best person for this job, but I doubt if she's strong enough to exorcise it," the fox woman commented.

Jiang Chen drove outside Jiang City, and it took them at least one and a half hours to reach the neighboring town where Jin Qian's mother lost her life.

The moment they reached the fourth district, Shen Minyao immediately sensed the sudden change in the atmosphere. There was no doubt that there was a demonic presence in this area.

"Stop the car. Hurry!" She told Jiang Chen who immediately stepped on the brakes, forcing the car into a hard stop at the roadside. Just what had just gotten to this woman all of a sudden?

"What's wrong? We are still three blocks away from the intersection." He asked confusedly, but as he looked at the seriousness on her face, Jiang Chen wondered if he had underestimated the demoness beside him.

"No, it's fine. We don't have to go there to confirm that there's a demon in here," she answered, but her eyes were looking everywhere.

Even from this distance, she and Xiao Bai could already sense the traces the demon left in the area. To think that it had chosen this busy and noisy district of all places, surely, this demon was fearless!

Since most demons were solitary creatures, they rarely interacted and mingled with humans unless they were making a feeding ground. The fourth district of this town was surrounded by high residential buildings and shops that most humans frequent. Wherever the fox woman cast her gaze, she could see humans.

Shen Minyao looked around them, trying to tune out the noises made by the humans around them. It was really irritating, especially for a demon with heightened senses like the fox demon.

Didn't humans realize that they were doing a lot of noise pollution these days? If only they could just shut up for just one damn minute, she wouldn't have to filter out so many noises at once.

Xiao Bai also leaped down from her shoulder, his eyes glowing as he tried to locate the demon they were looking for.

"Its traces are everywhere, but I can't find its exact location." historical

"So annoying. It seems we aren't dealing with just one demon." Shen Minyao used her spatial awareness ability to scan the crowd, but it only confirmed what Xiao Bai said earlier.

"You mean there's more?" Jiang Chen was shocked by the revelation. Wouldn't this mean that it would be harder to retrieve Jin Qian's mother? One demon alone was already hard to deal with—what more if it was an infestation of demons?!

"Yes," the fox woman affirmed, "they are of the same kind. Nonetheless, it seems they have taken an interest to make this place their feeding ground."

Not only could she sense demonic presence on the highway, but she could see wandering spirits of humans that were seemingly moving in an endless loop. If Jin Qian's mother was here, then it was no wonder she couldn't leave the place to see her deceased daughter in the city hospital.
