Chapter 189 - Inside The Gu Poison Jar (1)



Everyone decided to meet at Zhao Yichen\'s home the next day. Shen Minyao wasn\'t sure how, but her human contractor was able to provide them with a blueprint of the company building. She gave him an inquisitive gaze, but Zhao Yichen was too preoccupied and failed to notice her stare. 

Qin Zhi and Mu Qing studied the floor plan, along with Li Fei\'er. It was important for them to place a seal on all possible entrances and exits that the Gu demon could use to escape from Shen Minyao. 

"We have to make sure the humans in the vicinity will be evacuated. A Gu demon like this could kill them on the spot by merely touching them," Qin Zhi said with all seriousness. 

"I brought a sufficient number of more advanced talismans with me. These should be able to stop the demon from leaving the place. We might also need to place some of them at the glass windows to make sure that it wouldn\'t break those to escape," Li Fei\'er chimed in. 

The demon lord looked at her, his brows furrowing together. 

"But that would mean you would need to exert more effort and spiritual power to make sure that demon wouldn\'t break those talismans," he told her. 

"It\'s alright. I think I can manage." The young shaman tried to assure him, but Qin Zhi wouldn\'t let the issue off easily. 

"It also means that Lady Li would be vulnerable to attacks towards her." Mu Qing could sense why the demon lord was hesitant in letting Li Fei\'er join them in this case. Zhao Yichen would be protected by the fox woman\'s cat guardians, but Li Fei\'er would be left defenseless once she started her chanting to keep the barrier intact. 

"That\'s not a problem. I\'m sure Mr. Qin is more than willing to protect her." The fox woman chuckled, earning a fierce glare from her older brother. 

"But who will protect you if Mr. Qin stays with me?" Li Fei\'er questioned Shen Minyao. 

"I\'ll be with her, Lady Li. Though, Shen Minyao isn\'t a weakling who needs to rely on others for protection." The grim reaper was the one to answer her. 

Of course, Li Fei\'er knew that, but she still couldn\'t help but worry about Shen Minyao. Did she really have to face danger on her own? 

En. As a demon, Shen Minyao… no, this unnamed demoness that she came to care about had surely faced so many struggles and dangerous encounters in the past. This demoness wouldn\'t be like this had she not experienced such hardships in her long demon life. 

Even now that she was going to face a dangerous demon, She didn\'t show any hint of weakness or hesitation in her eyes. It was more like she couldn\'t wait to defeat the Gu demon herself. 

Night fell, and the group sneaked inside the company building. As they went, Xiao Bai enchanted the CCTV cameras to make sure no one would be able to catch what was going on at the level where Chairman Zhao\'s office was located. 

While Zhao Yichen stayed inside his office with Xiao Bai and Yu Yan, Li Fei\'er—with Qin Zhi\'s assistance—placed the talismans she had with her around the vicinity to trap the Gu demon inside, forbidding it to escape from Shen Minyao. 

As soon as she was done, they headed to Zhao Yichen\'s office, where Li Fei\'er would perform the ritual to raise the barriers. 

Qin Zhi then informed his sister and Mu Qing that they were ready. 

Shen Minyao unsheathed her Hellreaver, sensing that it was reacting to the demon inside the Chairman\'s office. Whether it was responding to the Gu demon\'s call or craving to devour it, it didn\'t matter to the fox woman. 

"Sorry, you can\'t have it this time, little one. It will belong to me no matter what," the fox woman murmured, and immediately, the Hellreaver in her hand stopped responding to the Gu demon. 

Mu Qing removed the eye patch that was covering his right eye, revealing his blazing red eyes in the darkness of the night. With this, he was able to sense the presence of the Gu demon clearly. He could also hear the suppressed cries of the spirits as they were being devoured by the demon. 

He was supposed to look after Shen Minyao\'s back and make sure that the Gu demon, no matter how strong it was, wouldn\'t leave the floor they were in. If Shen Minyao failed her quest, many lives would be lost tonight. This tragedy would surely tip the balance on the scales of the world of the living and spirit realm. 

"Let me know if you can\'t defeat it. I will immediately perform a spell to place it back inside the vase," he told Shen Minyao, who remained unfazed by the demon she was about to face. 

Like the first time, the barrier on the Chairman\'s office door repelled Mu Qing, forbidding him to enter with the fox woman. Shen Minyao only gave him a glance before nodding in understanding. 

This time, she entered the room without hesitation. Inside, she was then greeted by the sight of a white snake with bluish eyes, devouring the human souls that fell into its trap. Oh? So the one who came out victorious in this Gu curse was none other than this hatching white snake? 

White snakes with icy-blue eyes were extremely rare. They were rarer than fox demons like Shen Minyao and Qin Zhi within the demon world since their hatchling snakes rarely survived and grew up into adulthood. They were also extremely delicate yet terrifyingly venomous at the same time. 

Shen Minyao didn\'t bat an eye as screams of pain and despair filled the entire room. If a normal human were to witness such a scene, there was no doubt that they would be trembling in fear and begging to be let out of the room…

But not Shen Minyao. 

The room then morphed into another dimension, for the fox woman could only see darkness and the remains of the fallen demons at her feet. Did the Gu demon pull her into the world inside the accursed vase? 

Once the huge white snake devoured the last spirit, it turned its attention to the fox woman that entered its turf. Their eyes met; one stared with a pair of icy-blue eyes, the other with amber ones. Shen Minyao was aware of what the Gu demon was trying to do to her, but it was just too bad that a demon of her caliber wouldn\'t easily fall for someone\'s illusion. 

The snake hissed and uncoiled its long body, surrounding Shen Minyao and trapping her in a loose constriction. However, she remained unmoving on her spot. 

Was the Gu demon planning to devour her, too, considering that she was now a mid-rank demon? Perhaps, the fox woman thought. The Gu demon was merely three months old, but during its incubation inside this dimension, it already managed to level up into the mid-rank like her. 

If Qin Zhi was the one who faced this young demon, Shen Minyao had no doubt that he would be able to overpower and kill this Gu demon easily, considering how strong he was. Alas, Shen Minyao\'s end goal was to force this Gu demon to become her shikigami, for her to be able to utilize its strength once she got into a face-to-face encounter with Xuan Yanrui in the future. 

Its icy-blue eyes never left her form, and Shen Minyao realized that her nose wasn\'t functioning properly. She couldn\'t smell the intent coming from the white snake. She narrowed her eyes, her whole body morphing into her demon form. 

Her long midnight hair turned silvery-white, human hands turning into sharp claws. Her human ears disappeared and were replaced with a pair of silver fox ears on top of her head. The nine tails behind her swished open as if they had been waiting to be released for a long time. 

The snake revealed its sharp fangs, which were dripping with its potent venom, and struck at Shen Minyao. However, she was able to avoid its attack by using her flight skill, resisting the rules the Gu demon set in this dimension. Her feet then stepped back on the ground, making a loud crunch as she stepped on the carcass and bones under her feet. 

Shen Minyao didn\'t like that its scent was starting to stick to her and summoned her fox fire to burn it into ashes. The white snake was forced to stagger back, sensing the dangers of the fox fire should it be caught in the blaze. 

Realizing that it wouldn\'t be able to restrict its newest prey, the white snake released a poisonous fog around itself, a kind of poison that would cause hallucinations to those who would get in contact with it.

"Is this all that you can manage?" The nine-tailed woman burst into laughter, startling the huge white snake.
