After all, she was the infamous nine-tailed fox, hated by many in her past life. The fox woman was already used to being on the receiving end of everyone's enmity and hatred, but she liked it nevertheless. Seeing them cursing her in their hearts, looking at her with disdain until they vomited blood, was what the fox woman liked the most.

Xu Shenshen could only swear at Shen Minyao in her heart. This sudden change on Shen Minyao.. was this the real Shen Minyao all along? Was she pretending to be a weakling and a pushover before? Impossible!

Shen Minyao looked relaxed and amused as she bullied Xu Shenshen, while the latter trembled in fear.

"What? Are you finally scared now? Do you understand now that I am not a person you should offend?" The fox woman smiled coldly. "Didn't you say you want to teach me a lesson? But how could that be?"

Xu Shenshen could only glare back at the fox woman who was still stepping on her swollen face. She had never been humiliated like this before, and she swore that she would get even with Shen Minyao someday. historical

"What? Do you feel angry and humiliated right now?" Shen Minyao mocked her, her brows furrowing at the disgusting image of Xu Shenshen on her mobile phone. "Urgh, such an eyesore, but this should do."

Her eyes met the fierce glare Xu Shenshen was giving her at that moment and scoffed. Humans like her that acted like the world owed them something.. really had loose nuts in their heads. Naturally, as a fox spirit, she had a lot of mischiefs hidden under her sleeve, but she would never hurt or bully an innocent person out of boredom.

"When you bullied people like us before, have you ever thought about what they would feel about your actions? When you humiliated us—made fun of us for your own entertainment; did you ever consider the effects of your actions?" She questioned Xu Shenshen, albeit she already knew the answers to her questions.

"Classmate Xu, I'm not a magnanimous person, but I'm kind enough to let you experience the struggle and pain you inflicted on other people," the fox woman said with a mischievous smile. "You should thank me for giving you such a wonderful experience, don't you think?"

Ah, the cries of despair and resentment.. such melodious music to the nine-tailed fox's ears. It surely had been a while since she tortured someone like this. However, she also knew that Xu Shenshen wouldn't let her off easily after this as the strong scent of hatred emanated from her body. Xu Shenshen would surely try to get even with her in the future.

Heh. As if a demon like her would be easily threatened by a mere human.

Xu Shenshen would need to upgrade her scheming abilities if she really dreamed of humiliating Shen Minyao in the future. She was subpar compared to the women and scheming concubines Su Daji had dealt with in the past.

Ah, humans. Couldn't they lead a happier and peaceful life, considering how short their time was in the mortal realm? They surely didn't know how to cherish their limited time on earth and rather cultivate their hateful feelings toward each other. Shen Minyao thought.

Having spent most of her lunchtime beating up Xu Shenshen, hearing her pitiful cries made Shen Minyao's day a little better. Her weekend was unproductive and boring, and without Xiao Bai and Yu Yan around, she had no one to talk to.

Shen Minyao thought that she had enough, leaving Xu Shenshen lying on the filthy floor of the ladies' room with her school uniform in tatters and skin full of bruises. The fox woman stepped out casually as if she had done nothing horrendous to the human she left black and blue behind her.

Once she stepped out, her slender brow rose as she saw Li Fei'er seated on the first step of the stairs, waiting for her. The younger woman immediately got to her feet as soon as she heard the door of the ladies' room open.

Li Fei'er had a conflicted expression written on her face, and Shen Minyao only scoffed and walked away. She didn't need to explain anything to anyone, and if it still wasn't clear to Li Fei'er that she wasn't a good person, this girl only needed to see for herself what Shen Minyao had done to Xu Shenshen in the ladies' room.

"Classmate Shen, wait!" Li Fei'er called after her, which made the fox woman stop in her tracks. Li Fei'er wasn't sure of what she should tell Shen Minyao, but seeing her retreating figure brought pain to the girl's heart.

But why? Li Fei'er wondered. Why was she even drawn to this young woman who was clearly not a good person? Everyone was saying Shen Minyao was now a demon in disguise.

Shen Minyao eyed Li Fei'er over her shoulder, waiting to hear what the girl needed from her. When Li Fei'er said nothing, the corner of her lips curled up. It was clear that Li Fei'er was confused by what she had witnessed today, but it would be best if she knew how wicked and vicious Shen Minyao was from the start.

"Classmate Li, I suggest you be careful of whom you befriend unless you want to end up like Classmate Xu," Shen Minyao said before leaving Li Fei'er on her own.

What Li Fei'er witnessed today should be enough for her to realize that she shouldn't associate herself with someone like Shen Minyao. Whether she was Su Daji or Shen Minyao, she would never allow Little Jiu and this current incarnation to get harmed because of her.

Since she had failed to protect Little Jiu in the past, it would be better for Li Fei'er to keep her distance from Shen Minyao, so the girl wouldn't be dragged into her problems in the future.. No matter how much she missed her human ward, Little Jiu's safety and happiness were her utmost priority.
