It was already past seven in the evening when Shen Minyao arrived at the gates of the dormitory where she was staying. There were still people walking around as the curfew hours had yet to arrive. As she walked alone along the pathway leading to the dormitory, she t Liang Sisi who had obviously been waiting for her return.
"Miss Shen, can I have a word with you?" The foolish mortal asked.
The fox woman narrowed her eyes and looked around them, noticing that there wasn't a single human in sight. She could also sll a strong scent of fear and anticipation coming from Liang Sisi.
What did this human want from her anyway? She didn't have anything to do with Jiang Chen and the police's investigation. Moreover, to think that Liang Sisi took the chance to seek her when there were no other humans around… only made this fool look suspicious under the fox woman's eyes.
Shen Minyao stared at Liang Sisi blankly, not saying anything; which only made the human more nervous than she already was. Was Liang Sisi trying to sound her out if they knew what she had done to Bai Xinran?
"Hmm? At this ti of the day?" She finally responded. "Couldn't this wait for tomorrow?"
"I don't think so, Miss Shen. I really need your help," Liang Sisi replied. She then walked past the fox woman, gesturing for Shen Minyao to follow her outside the premises of the dormitory.
Shen Minyao could now sense the strong murderous intent in the air, sothing she hadn't sensed from a human ever since her awakening. Did Liang Sisi want her dead? The corner of her lips curled up.
Did this an that Liang Sisi was a wolf in sheep's clothing? Liang Sisi pretended that she was weak and innocent, but she was hiding such a vicious and jealous heart.
"Fine," the fox woman said, her eyes glimring with amusent as she followed Liang Sisi back to the school premises wordlessly.
As Liang Sisi led her to the school's rooftop that was rarely used by the students, she could already assu what this human was planning to do.
'Foolish human,' Shen Minyao thought, 'Since you brought here, let play with you.'
"Schoolmate Liang, why did you bring here?" She asked with an arrogant smirk on her face.
Liang Sisi crossed her arms on her midsection, her facial expression changing to one with indifference. She had automatically shed her pretentious mask in front of Shen Minyao.
"This is all your fault. If you didn't poke your nose in soone's business, none of this would happen." She sneered towards the fox woman.
"What does your so-called best friend have to do with us?" Shen Minyao humd.
Liang Sisi's face contorted with anger right then and there. The mont she t Shen Minyao, she had this uncomfortable feeling in her gut. Her instincts were telling her that Shen Minyao knew things others didn't, and that made her uncomfortable in her presence.
"So you did know!" She exclaid, "And so did the others…"
Shen Minyao scoffed, trying to keep her expression nonchalant as she realized that this crazy girl might also co after Li Fei'er and the other one if she left Liang Sisi unscathed tonight. Her eyes turned cold instantly. She would need to dispose of Liang Sisi and nip the bud before it could go out of hand.
"You believe those fake psychics would know? Ha. You're really such a stupid girl, Schoolmate Liang."
Liang Sisi looked at her with confusion, wondering if she was telling the truth or not. Was Shen Minyao the only one aware of the truth behind Bai Xinran's death?
"They are fakes?" She asked.
"Don't misunderstand and group with those people," Shen Minyao said, "But, Schoolmate Liang, I have to say that you really fucked up this ti, don't you think? Are they coming too close to your liking?"
Liang Sisi's jaws hardened. That afternoon, the police ca knocking on her door to question her. She almost lost herself right then and there. She thought that it was Jing Chen's team that sent the authorities to arrest her.
In her distracted state, Shen Minyao fiddled her phone inside her pocket and hit the record button. No matter what happened tonight, she would make sure that Bai Xinran's na would be cleared in public.
"It's not my fault," Liang Sisi said in her crazy state as she held the sides of her head, eyes losing focus on Shen Minyao.
"I didn't an to kill her, but she was just too annoying—so self-righteous! She kept on saying that she supported , but what did she do? She started her own novel and surpassed ! And then she dared to make fun of my work? Bai Xinran was really sothing!"
The fox woman let Liang Sisi say whatever she wanted to say. Shen Minyao didn't dare to cut her off; neither was she questioned. It was obvious that Liang Sisi had deep-seated animosity against Bai Xinran and hadn't regretted what she did to her best friend.
"Then, she had the audacity to criticize ? Just who did she think she was?!" Liang Sisi continued. These were the things she had been keeping to herself since Bai Xinran's death. "I didn't an to kill her. It just happened. As for the rumors about her novel, she certainly brought it upon herself for making enemies out of others! Was it also my fault that she was so stupid? If she didn't poke her nose in soone's business, we wouldn't co after her!"
Shen Minyao silently fed on the negative energy Liang Sisi was emitting at that mont. Aside from eating another demon's orb and human livers, another way for a demon to feed was to consu the pure and intense energy around them.. Consuming negative energy such as hatred, grief, and despair surely gave demons like her a boost, but if it was consud excessively, they might lose self-control.
