YM778.TV Chapter 28 - She Would Never Forsake Her (2)
"Hurry! What are you waiting for?" Shen Minyao furrowed her brows as she waited for Li Fei\'er to do something.
"But milady…" Xiao Bai was about to complain, but the fox woman shot him a look that told him to keep his comments to himself.
This was one of the rare times Xiao Bai couldn\'t argue with his mistress. Shen Minyao had that look on her face that told him that she would do what she wanted to do, regardless of the consequences of her actions.
No matter if it was past or the present, the fox woman would never have forsaken Little Jiu. Wasn\'t this the same reason she committed a massive genocide, killing numerous humans in her wake?
If her enemies didn\'t harm her little human ward, would the nine-tailed fox woman earn her infamous reputation of torturing humans, regardless of whether they were her enemies or not?
Li Fei\'er snapped out of her daze and nodded to Shen Minyao. This wasn\'t the time for hesitation.
"The talismans are in the inner pocket of my jacket." She told the fox woman. Now that the possibility that this woman could be a ghost was out of the question, Li Fei\'er had to make sure she wasn\'t dealing with some kind of demon.
She then thought that if Shen Minyao was a demon, the woman wouldn\'t be able to touch the talisman she had on her. Demons and ghosts should at least get electrified even from a brush with it.
Shen Minyao immediately stepped forward, invading Li Fei\'er\'s private space. With Shen Minyao standing close to her, Li Fei\'er realized that she was a bit tad shorter compared to the woman in front of her. They might be in the same age range, but Shen Minyao\'s height was almost reaching 170 centimeters while she was only 159 centimeters in comparison.
"How do I use this?" She heard Shen Minyao ask sternly. These talismans could hurt her, so she better make sure to get rid of it as soon as she could.
"You just need to throw it as close as possible around the wraith. The talismans would connect automatically to each other, trapping the wraith inside the circle it would create." Li Fei\'er explained, hoping that she was clear enough for the other woman to understand her.
"Alright." The fox woman nodded in understanding. If it lessened the burden on Little Jiu\'s shoulder, then she was willing to trouble herself for a while.
Knowing that she had someone to watch her back and help her deal with the wraith, Li Fei\'er continued her chanting with her eyes closed. Her hands swiftly move to make hand signs. It didn\'t take long as a bright light emerged from the floor, a circle forming below where the wraith was.
It struggled to break free, but Shen Minyao made sure it wouldn\'t escape this time as she used enough talismans to keep it in place. Once done, she stood and looked at Li Fei\'er\'s way, wondering if she would be able to kill the wraith at one shot because Shen Minyao doubted that they would be able to trap the wraith for the third time.
Li Fei\'er only had one chance to make this work, or else the fox woman would have to think of another way to kill the wraith before she could meet her human contractor. She flinched and looked down at her hands that were currently inflamed from touching the talismans.
If she had her fox orb with her, touching a talisman shouldn\'t be able to injure her like this. However, since her fox orb was still with Zhao Yichen, it would take time for her to recover from this injury.
Xiao Bai noticed the dilemma on his mistress\'s face. He really didn\'t know why she entered a contract with a human and gave Zhao Yichen her fox orb to keep. It was just not his mistress\'s personality to rely on someone for help. If she wasn\'t desperate to get free from her seal, Xiao Bai had no doubt that his mistress would never allow herself to get acquainted with another human.
Only the loud howling coming from the wraith could be heard, and a gust of wind surrounded the area as Li Fei\'er continued her chanting, effectively exorcising the wraith. Her shoulder-length hair fluttered behind her violently, while the wraith was trying to resist from its binds, forcing her to stagger back using its spiritual presence.
However, even before it managed to hit Li Fei\'er, the grim reaper unsheathed his sword from its scabbard, sending a blast to counter its spiritual attack towards the young shaman. He might not be able to kill a wraith, but it didn\'t mean he wouldn\'t be able to withstand its attacks.
As Li Fei\'er reached the end of her chant, she opened her eyes, pulled out the bells hanging on her belt, and rang them with vigor. A blinding light shot up beneath the wraith, consuming it. As its body disintegrated within the column of light that surrounded it, Shen Minyao made sure she was at a safe distance from it. She would suffer serious injuries if she was caught up with that sacred light.
To think that Little Jiu\'s incarnation had the same spirit aptitude as her was already impressive in Shen Minyao\'s opinion. It was too bad that Li Fei\'er was inexperienced, wasting a lot of spiritual energy in the process. Moreover, if it was in the past, Little Jiu wouldn\'t hesitate in a crucial moment, putting her life in danger.
They watched as the wraith struggled to break free from the sacred light, but with the talismans Shen Minyao put around it, its attempts were futile. The three only sighed in relief when the last remnants of the wraith finally vanished into thin air, leaving nothing in its wake.
"Well, that was surprising.. I would have never thought you could be this lucky," the grim reaper told the nine-tailed fox.
