Shen Minyao Returns (3)

While Shen Minyao was busy dealing with her classmates, Li Fei'er found herself standing just outside the faculty room, waiting for her homeroom teacher to give her the class schedule she would follow for this school year. Since she transferred to Spring Hill High a little too late, she already missed a lot of lessons. She could only hope that she would get along with her new classmates, and they wouldn't find her weird. 

Anyway, thinking of what happened at the hospital last week, she felt bad that she wasn't able to find out the name of the young woman who saved her life. Li Fei'er didn't know why, but there was something about that woman that drew the shaman to her, enough to wish for closeness. However, it didn't seem like that person wanted to be friends with Li Fei'er. 

After the three of them managed to kill the wraith, the last thing she remembered was that she was trying to run after that same woman before she lost consciousness. When she woke up, Li Fei'er found herself on a vacant bed within the recovery ward. One of the nurses claimed that someone found her unconscious in the hallway and brought her there. 

Ah, she really wanted to see and befriend that person! She had tried to come back to the hospital, hoping that she would meet the woman again. Li Fei'er tried looking for her, not knowing that Shen Minyao had already been discharged that morning. 

The door of the faculty room slid open, and the homeroom teacher found her standing outside, looking somewhere through the windows of the hallway. Li Fei'er stood stiffly as if she was caught off-guard and waited for whatever the teacher would tell her. 

"Miss Li, here's your class schedule. Let's go, so I can introduce you to your new classmates." 

Li Fei'er followed her closely behind while glancing around the place, noticing small demons along their way. Seeing demons in a place like this wasn't new to her, as they were almost everywhere without humans knowing they coexist in the same place. 

She could also sense a strong resentment of ghosts at the science laboratory, but she wouldn't dare to face it for now, not unless it brought harm to the other students. There were so many students at Spring Hill High, so it was only natural that they would also attract some demons that could feed on the vulnerable minds of these teenagers. 

When they arrived at the designated classroom, Li Fei'er had stopped just outside the door and allowed the teacher to regard her newest classmates. 

"Why is it so noisy? Didn't you hear the bell? Go back to your seats." The teacher's voice rang within the classroom, taking everyone's attention. 

Shen Minyao raised a slender brow at her classmates who remained standing in front of her desk. She rested her chin on her right hand and looked at them indifferently.

"Are you deaf, or you didn't hear what Miss Cang said? F*ck off." 

They were momentarily stunned but dispersed at once, with their leader eyeing Shen Minyao suspiciously and wondering how the latter managed to find out her secret. Her face blackened at the thought that Shen Minyao—who always had an idiotic expression on her face, who easily cowered over someone's provocation—was now blackmailing her. 

How could this be possible? They hadn't seen Shen Minyao for a week, and she came back completely different from what she was before. The Shen Minyao they knew wouldn't be able to look at them with contempt like this and wouldn't even dare to talk back to them. 

Something must have happened during those days for Shen Minyao to change like this. As for the blackmailing, she would make sure Shen Minyao knew whom she was dealing with later. 

A sinister smile crossed her lips, and her aura reached the fox woman's senses. Shen Minyao couldn't wait to see what this woman had for her.

"We have a new transfer student joining us today." The homeroom teacher informed them as she stood behind her desk and glanced at the door. "Come here and introduce yourself to your classmates." 

Li Fei'er took a deep breath to calm her nerves and stepped inside the classroom. She then stood next to the teacher and faced her new classmates. As her eyes swept around, she caught a familiar face in the crowd, instantly lifting her mood at that very moment. 

"Hello! I'm Li Fei'er. My dad and I have just moved back here. Let's get along well," she introduced herself enthusiastically. 

Meanwhile, the fox woman had already caught Li Fei'er's scent even before she stepped inside the classroom. To think that their paths had crossed once again in this lifetime, Shen Minyao found it odd that Little Jiu's incarnation was still seeking after her even in the ward's current life. 

She also had suspected that Little Jiu might be related to the Li family that had managed to seal her for centuries, but to think that her Little Jiu was reborn as a Li Shaman, the fox woman laughed at the absurdity of their situation. 

Li Fei'er was obviously pleased to see her, but Shen Minyao wasn't sure whether she should get acquainted with Little Jiu's incarnation or leave her be. Little Jiu had lost her life in the past because of Su Daji. If she hadn't been so selfish, she should have let Little Jiu return to the humans after reaching her sixteenth year. 

Little Jiu also didn't like to part with her and knew the dangers the child would face if she stayed beside a demon like her, but Little Jiu stayed nevertheless. The fox woman didn't want the same end to happen to Li Fei'er in this lifetime, so it would have been better if the girl didn't associate with her this time. 

"Go take a seat at the back, Li Fei'er." The teacher gestured to Li Fei'er to the last row of the class.
