Chapter 3: Do You Mind If I Get a Quick Snack? (1)

"Little girl, are you lost? Do you need help?" One of the men asked her, striding towards her with the intention to seize her. Since she had seen what they had done to Zhao Yichen, then they couldn't allow her to continue living.

Who knew what she would say to the police once they helped her get out of this maze-like mountain range of Qingqiu. It was better for them to silence her for good than give her a chance to jeopardize their mission. It was a pity that her beautiful face would be put to waste, but she could only blame herself for sticking her nose into someone else's business.

The fox spirit, who now possessed the body of the dead girl, Shen Minyao, looked at him through her eyelashes. The rain continued to pour, causing her clothes to clung tight on her body.

As a fox spirit who had lived for centuries, she could sense the malintent aura swirling around the four men near her Contractor. Ah, as expected, humans were as fickle as she remembered. They were stupid beings with great ability of self-destruction.

"You are mistaken. I'm here for that man, mister." Shen Minyao lifted a finger and pointed to the almost lifeless body of the man who broke her seal. "That little one is mine."

The man stopped on his tracks and looked at her with contempt.

"You want me dead?" Her seductive, alluring voice reached their ears. "Then let me see if you are capable of killing me." The young woman licked her lips, her eyes turning golden yellow with vertically slit pupils.

She flexed her right hand again, showing her sharp, long nails to her willing prey. The men froze still, finally sensing danger emanating from the young woman in front of them.

"Hmm, Contractor. Do you mind if I get a quick snack? I promise this will be a quick one." She told Zhao Yichen, who was almost at his limit now. He couldn't possibly hear what she was saying as he had already passed out from too much blood loss. A few more minutes and he would surely depart from the world of the living.

Since the fox spirit had been sealed for ages, her hunger for human's life essence was at its peak. While others of her kind preferred to consume infants' and priests' livers, this fox spirit wouldn't mind preying on this kind of scumbags.

Their livers might not have the quality of taste she was accustomed to, but it should be safe enough to satiate her hunger for now.

"M-monster!" The nearest man in front of her stuttered and stepped back, but it was too late for him as Shen Minyao leapt forward, slashing her sharp claw through his middle section in one move.

Blood spurt from his stomach as he fell unconscious on the wet ground. The three other men watched with wide eyes, that had an obvious sense of terror, as Shen Minyao dug her right hand into the large wound on his stomach and fished out his large liver from it.

She took a bite from it and her beautiful face contorted with disappointment. What kind of lifestyle do people have these days? His liver tasted terrible. Although she had eaten livers of alcoholic men in the past, she had no idea that people's quality of life would degenerate over time.

The three remaining men wondered if they were hallucinating or not. The person who should be dead tonight was supposed to be Zhao Yichen, but why did they feel that they were the ones being hunted instead?

No matter what, they cannot allow themselves to suffer the same fate of their fallen comrade. They took their guns and fired, aiming at the young woman, but she was too fast… way too fast for their human eyes!

Shen Minyao's body was like every human's, but because it was now being possessed by the fox spirit, her basal instinct as well as her physical attributes were heightened. She easily dodged the bullets and leapt forward to attack the remaining men.

Once they realized that they had run out of ammunition, they threw their useless guns and ran for their lives. They never thought that they would encounter such a dangerous creature in these woods. They all thought that the legend surrounding the area was just a trick to keep people away from the mountain.

"Oh, do you want to play hide and seek? Now, that's more like it!" Shen Minyao's face broke into a wide grin as she chased the three men in the thick jungle of Qingqiu. She had to admit these men were good as they knew where to go. They certainly did not run like headless chickens.

Too bad though, she knew Qingqiu like the back of her hand. There's no place here that she was unaware of. Every trail, every cave, even the stream that ran through the mountain range, she knew them all by heart. As the mountain's guardian, how can she not know the secret passages to reach certain areas?

So how could they think that they could outrun and outwit her? They must be deluding themselves to think that they could get away from her so easily. Anyway, since they brought her Contractor here, allowing his blood to break the seal that had trapped her for ages, she should at least give them some credit.

Shen Minyao narrowed her eyes and caught a slight movement to her right. Even if the rain was able to wash away their scent, she was still able to find out where they were hiding.

She slashed her claw behind the thick bushes, impaling the second man's chest with it. A shrill scream echoed within the forest, informing his other comrades that he was found and killed. His lifeless body hit the ground as the young woman pulled out her second meal of the night.

She then found the other two just as fast as she did the second one. Sighing to herself, Shen Minyao finished her snack swiftly, knowing that her Contractor was waiting for her return.


Chapter 4: Do You Mind If I Get a Quick Snack? (2)

When Shen Minyao came back to the place where she had left her new contractor, the rain had finally stopped. His body laid on the cold, wet ground with his eyes opened. The young woman knelt beside him and gently pushed his body, making him lay on his back.

Shen Minyao wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. This man was on the brink of death and if she wasn't desperate to free herself, she wouldn't have to make a deal with him.

While his blood was able to break the seal that was placed on her centuries ago, her spirit was contained in a round stone. She wouldn't be able to break free and get her freedom unless she made a contract with a human.

'Oh, how troublesome.' The fox spirit thought.

If she doesn't fulfill her part of their deal, she would be cursed by the heavens for a thousand years. That wasn't something the fox spirit wanted to happen. Their existence and long life was envied by some, but for the fox spirit, it was a curse that burdened her.

Anyway, since she had already made a deal with him, there's no time to waste anymore. His injuries were more severe than Shen Minyao's body and the life essence she'd gotten from the livers of the four men weren't enough to sustain them.

This man was as good as dead. However, as Shen Minyao hovered over him, pressing her lips to his, a red fox orb that contained the spirit energy she had obtained over her long years of living came out of her and directly entered him.

Once she parted her lips from him, she watched as his whole body was slowly engulfed by a golden light, slowly healing the wounds on his body until there wasn't a trace of injury on it.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yichen had slowly regained his consciousness. The coldness of the night was slowly replaced by a warmth that spread throughout his body. Had he died?

After being tortured over a week, was this warm and relaxing feeling his final solace on earth?

As he opened his eyes, he found an unknown woman kneeling next to him. Who was she? He wondered. She couldn't possibly be a local here, given her style of clothes. Zhao Yichen also didn't think that meeting her was just a coincidence.

"It's good that you are finally awake, Contractor." The woman said before standing up, checking her soaking wet clothes. "Might as well find a change of clothes before this body gets sick." She told herself.

Zhao Yichen pulled himself up and sat straight. He looked curiously at the woman in front of him, wondering if this was the same demon who offered to form a contract with him before he passed out. There was something about her that he couldn't point out.

The young woman was dressed casually in a pair of jeans and a hoodie with a white shirt underneath. She was also looking curiously at the pair of white sneakers she was donning, as if it was her first time to see such footwear in her life.

"Who are you?" He asked. "What are you?"

Shen Minyao raised a slender brow after hearing his questions. Did he really want to know the answers for such questions?

She fell on one knee, cupping his chin, forcing him to look at her face.

"Contactor, are you sure you want to know? To bind your soul with mine to continue living, are you regretting it now?" She said with a mischievous smile.

"Contractor, do you know, our names are sacred and important for creatures like us? For you to know our names would mean that you are binding us to you for submission. That's not going to happen, human." The woman chuckled.

"But if you insist, you may call me Shen Minyao, since I now own this human body and identity."

"You are a demon?" He couldn't think of anything else to describe her. Looking a few meters behind her, he spotted one of his kidnappers with an opened midsection, as if he was mangled by a wolf.

Zhao Yichen furrowed his brows and tried to release himself from her grip but failed. This woman had such inhuman strength! To think that he made a deal with a demon! Oh Lord, what has he done to himself?

"Demon? Monster? What's the difference?" She said before releasing his chin. She stood up and Zhao Yichen could clearly see the nine long white tails behind her.

"I've been called worse."

He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. He wasn't that oblivious not to recognize the kind of creature this woman was. He had heard several folklore and legends of her kind, but Zhao Yichen had never thought that he would see and meet one in his lifetime.

In this fast paced, modern world, it was almost impossible to believe such creatures still existed.

"Ah, you can see my tails? Interesting." The fox woman smiled, her eyes flashing with mischief. She had heard tales of spirits like her entering a contract with a human, but she had never heard of a human being able to heighten his physical attributes after receiving her spirit core.

Perhaps because this man had her energy core, it allowed him to see past her magic. Normal humans wouldn't be able to see her tails and golden eyes, but her Contractor did.

Zhao Yichen tried to stand up, but the overwhelming pain that shot through him was enough to bring him to his knees. He gasped for breath as he broke into sweat. It felt like his insides were being stabbed repeatedly.

"Only the superficial wounds have healed so far. Do you really think that it's possible to fully recover in a few seconds? My, my, how silly." He heard the fox woman say.

Zhao Yichen looked at her as if she had grown another head over her shoulder. She could have told him earlier! Why did she wait for him to feel pain before informing him? Such a wicked fox she was!

If he had a choice, he wouldn't have made a contract with this fox woman!
