My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Li Fei'er pondered if she should call for help. Dealing with a wraith would be hard for someone like her who'd never encountered one. It was one of the most dangerous ghosts a shaman like her could encounter; no wonder the other demons had run away from the fear of being devoured by this wraith. 

However, it was too late for her to back out now… as the wraith finally showed up and noticed her presence. Instead of running away from Li Fei'er, it screamed out loud enough for Li Fei'er to stagger back from the intensity of its spiritual attack against her. If she was a normal person, she would have fainted from the shock, receiving the full-blown attack of this wraith. 

Li Fei'er had no choice but to turn her back and lead the wraith away from the ICU. The recent attack by the wraith would have a detrimental effect on the humans hit by it. She had no doubt that her presence was unwelcome here, and the wraith was eager to get rid of her as soon as possible. 

She ran in the hallways, receiving warnings from the nurses along the way not to run, but Li Fei'er apologized awkwardly, saying she was in a hurry. Then, she took turns at the empty hallway leading to the emergency stairs which were barely used by the humans. 

Not only did her body run at full speed, but also her mind; trying to figure out where she could lure the wraith away from the humans. Since she was already on the emergency stairs, Li Fei'er decided to run up and lead it toward the part of the hospital building where the final rites were being held to the souls of the departed ones. 

With the sun finally setting, the sky had already succumbed to the darkness of the night. More and more demons came out from their hiding place and went to feed on their unsuspecting prey. 

She was supposed to only take a look at what was causing a disturbance within the hospital, but she had never thought she would encounter a wraith in the process. The wraith was still coming after her, and it was oblivious to the fact that they were about to enter the hallway where the recital rooms were. 

Once Li Fei'er was certain that they were in the same place, she pulled out her paper talisman, throwing it around the wraith to trap it inside. Sparks of electricity immediately surrounded the wraith, forbidding it to move outside the sacred area. 

Thankfully, the place wasn't being used by now as it was under repairs, forbidding the other humans to step inside and giving Li Fei'er enough time to immobilize the wraith until she figured out how she should deal with it. 

Several meters away from where she was, Shen Minyao, Xiao Bai, and the grim reaper watched the human struggle to keep hold of the powerful wraith with her meager spiritual power. 

"What's taking her so long?" The grim reaper narrowed his eyes and watched as Li Fei'er struggled to keep her focus on limiting the wraith's movements. Shouldn't she be exorcising it right now?

"She's thinking whether she should exorcise it or purify it instead," Shen Minyao replied, her eyes not leaving the human who shared the same face with their Little Jiu. 

If she was right, this human would be a perfect reincarnation of their Little Jiu. From her personality down to her way of thinking, the fox woman wanted to see if this was the same human ward she had looked after a long time ago. 

As she stared at Li Fei'er's conflicting expression, the fox woman knew right then and there that Li Fei'er was pondering if there was still a chance to save this wraith and allow itself to be purified instead. Once purified, it would return to its human form, allowing it to be reincarnated once it let go of its hatred. 

"Foolish little girl," Shen Minyao commented, which piqued the interest of the grim reaper. 

He looked at Shen Minyao and then at the young shaman dealing with the wraith right now. Had she known that human from somewhere? He could see the familiarity in this demon next to him. It might sound that she was mocking this young shaman, but her eyes betrayed and revealed her thoughts.

It confused the grim reaper why this demoness cared too much about this human when she hadn't shown the same sympathy for the nurse possessed by the rotten blade yesterday. 

"You could help her instead of standing there, watching her suffer," he suggested. 

Shen Minyao blinked, and the worried glint in her eyes vanished without a trace. It made the grim reaper think that he wouldn't have believed her words had he not seen how this demoness looked at the girl. 

"I'll have to decline, Mr. Grim Reaper. I'm not eager to die yet, or have you forgotten that the wraith is also after me?" She reminded him. 

Being trapped and suppressed by the young shaman, the wraith could only let its hatred rise to another level. Li Fei'er had been pushed back by its force as it struggled to break free from her grasp. The binding spell was clearly consuming a lot of her spiritual force, but it still wasn't enough to stop the wraith.

The wraith howled loudly once more, managing to break free from Li Fei'er and sending her small body straight to the glass window behind her, which broke from the impact of her body against it. 

Li Fei'er was aware of the mistake she had made and shut her eyes close, knowing that she was about to fall thirty feet above the ground. However, a hand reached out and pulled her back inside the hospital, much to her shock. 

How…? She was sure that she'd already fallen before she shut her eyes. 

"Little one, do you really plan on letting me witness your second death?"
