Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Aiko returned with Mei back to their little courtyard. There the Blood Fox was already waiting for them.

”What is it?” Mei asked the Blood Fox.

”Elders would like to return back to the Village.” The Blood Fox told her the message that they told her.

”Already? We are still staying, Aiko doesn’t have the card yet.” Mei scoffed at the stupid Elders.

”They don’t believe she would be able to manage to get one, so they are calling it quits, many of the Foxes that were supposed to get one didn’t get one, so they are upset and are trying to run away.” The Blood Fox gently spoke.

Aiko was already sleeping in Mei’s arms and wasn’t paying any attention.

”I will talk with the Patriarch about it, but we are not leaving. Aiko got a black card and we will wait for them to prepare it.” Mei said gently.

”Black card?” The Blood Fox wasn’t really interested in those tests so she was unaware of the Rankings.

”Let’s just say it’s the best card you can get.” Mei said gently, shocking the Blood Fox.

”How amazing.” The Blood Fox murmured staring at the little fluffball.

Aiko had her tail wrapped around Mei’s arm and was snoozing happily.

”She is quite attached to you.” The Blood Fox spoke with a tinge of envy.

”That’s only natural since she is a foodie.” Mei sighed. ”Anyway, we are off to sleep, if Elders want to leave feel free to let them leave, once Aiko wakes up I will talk with the Patriarch about retests.”

The Blood Fox nodded leaving the courtyard.

’What do those bald bastards think they are doing?’ Mei clicked her tongue and settled with Aiko on her bed. ’And this little one only treats me as a bed and cook.’ She sighed gently petting Aiko.

...

Aiko woke up, she was biting at something soft. Aiko munched a few times on it, she didn’t really bite, just sort of applied a bit of pressure on it and then let it go.

”Is it that tasty?” Mei said with a dangerous voice.

Aiko stiffened opening her eyes. She was currently munching on Mei’s hands.

Aiko moved her head away, still pretending to sleep.

”This won’t work, you little rascal!” Mei ruffled Aiko’s fur, but since she was in Fox form she didn’t dislike it.

”Y-you dare to enjoy your punishment?!” Mei was dumbfounded.

Aiko snorted and kept lying down.

”Alright! That’s it!” Mei jumped at Aiko and cuddled her until Aiko was squealing mercy.

”I will be good! Please!” Aiko pleaded with moist eyes.

Mei clicked her tongue. ”We will have to do this often since you are disobedient.”

Aiko jumped away the moment she was let go and transformed into her human form, just so she could stick out her tongue.

”You...” Mei was speechless as she looked at the running away Aiko. ”Seriously.” She shook her head.

Mei stretched her sensual body ready to leave.

”It would be nice with bigger peaks...” The Blood Fox murmured.

Mei shot her a glare and the Blood Fox pretended she didn’t say anything and kept brushing her tail.

Mei clicked her tongue. ’For some reason she is treating her tail like treasure.’ She noticed long ago that the Blood Fox was taking great care when it came to her tail.

Mei narrowed her eyes but didn’t say anything, she needed to leave for the Patriarch and have a discussion.

...

Aiko ran away from Mei. ’Stinky Fox!’ Aiko cursed her in her heart because she didn’t really stink, but Aiko wished she would.

She took her time to smooth her hair as it got tangled when she was escaping.

’Hmpf! Just you wait! Once I become stronger I will definitely tie you up!’ Aiko made a pose, before jumping into the shadows.

She sneaked around towards the Human Wing. ’I wonder if there are more treasures.’ Aiko smiled mischievously.

She dashed through the shadows and arrived in the Human courtyard. This time it was peaceful and nobody was moaning.

She moved in the back of the buildings listening to the whispers.

”Someone stole Senior Sister’s Book, but Senior Sister doesn’t tell us what it was about...” One person commented.

”I bet they are trying to rob us of our treasures.” The second person snorted coldly.

”Indeed. I heard they were in a relationship with that guy and now she is walking with her nose high up in the sky.” Another person chimed in.

They all snorted coldly, if it was not for the fact that he had greater Cultivation they would beat her guy up for putting them in this situation.

”Let’s just leave until it blows over...” The first one sighed.

Aiko smiled. She wouldn’t help them, but since everyone was on the edge she wouldn’t be able to explore in peace.

She moved into the courtyard where she found that book and sneaked inside.

’I wonder if she has more treasures...’ Aiko looked around, this place was empty, without a soul.

She moved towards the wardrobes and opened them.

’Ohohoho.’ Aiko giggled in her mind. ’This girl is so kinky!’

She found panties without the middle part and bras in a similar fashion. Then she found a completely see-through nightgown and even ripped-up clothing.

She closed that wardrobe smirking. She opened the lower wardrobes, but there was nothing.

’So little clothing?’ Aiko tilted her head, closing the lower wardrobe part.

Aiko sat down in the shadows and was deep in thought.

’How am I supposed to make this place peaceful or at least allow them to let their guard down...’

Aiko thought for a good half an hour until she figured out something devilish.

She left that courtyard and walked around the other courtyards trying to find the place where that guy lived. The one that railed her when Aiko was exploring.

It took her nearly two hours to find it, but she was successful! She then moved back and stole the whole wardrobe.

She sneaked back into that guy’s courtyard and scattered the clothes in place barely noticeably, but still in line of sight. This way when there is commotion everyone will move here.

Aiko smirked. She stared around noticing a few girls.

Aiko made a strange sound to attract those girls and moved into the back of the courtyard and through the wall.

”...” The girls looked inside the courtyard and spotted... something that was not supposed to be there.

’Do you see that?’

’I can see that... do you think?’

’Why not? They are raising a fuss and you should know that it’s against the rules to have intimate relationships when it comes to the different disciples, especially if it’s of different status.’

’Tsk. That bitch has done it now, not only she blamed us for everything, yet she was just a slut in heat abusing his position to pressure us.’

’Let’s tell it to our Elder and ask him for our things.’

’Agreed! They stole out Pills and clothes so we might as well ruin them!’

They left the place without making a sound.

Aiko was upset. ’Why didn’t they raise a fuss?! Should they be screaming about those clothes?!’ Aiko frowned, she was so upset she wanted to cry. ’Why didn’t it work?!’

Aiko felt it was unfair that it didn’t work but soon noticed there was a commotion.

She moved a few courtyards away, but still close enough so that she could observe.

”E-Elder, I have no idea what you are trying to accuse me of!” The girl who got boned spoke with an aggrieved voice.

”You don’t know?!” The Elder was completely furious. ”We let you affect the Fox tests so that you can practice in peace and what do you do!?” The Elder was fuming and huffing.

”I really don’t know Elder! I was really practising!” The girl cried.

The Elder entered the courtyard and immediately noticed the clothes.

Without a single care in the world, she picked up the clothes for the whole group to see.

”What is this?!” He yelled at the girl.

”I don’t know!” The girl yelled back, feeling wronged.

”You don’t know, you don’t know. Dong Guangli! GET YOUR ASS HERE!” The Elder bellowed shaking the whole East Wing.

Aiko felt a shiver down her spine from his voice. She instinctively wanted to run away.

”E-elder?” Dong Guangli rushed and greeted the Elder.

”What is this!” The Elder showed him the underwear.

”I-I don’t know!” But his face already betrayed him.

*Slap*

The Elder was now completely livid. ”DON’T KNOW DON’T KNOW, EVERYBODY DOESN’T KNOW!”

He activated some kind of Token and guards arrived. ”Throw them into the ravine of repentance!” The Elder yelled.

Aiko could see those students shaking subconsciously. It didn’t seem like it was a good place to be in.

The girl cried and pleaded with the Elder, but he didn’t listen. He already used Pursuing Paper Crane and it landed on that girl. From that point not even the guards questioned seeing those undies.

The Place calmed down. Aiko was so curious that she forgot to explore while the fuss was happening. She snapped out of her daze, but everyone already returned to their courtyards and shut their doors. It didn’t seem like she would be able to explore so she could only give up.

She sneaked away without being noticed and arrived at the West Wing.

”Is that true Elder?!” One of the Foxes cried in happiness.

”Yes, we are allowed to do those tests again and the Patriarch will oversee them, if you can prove you were wronged and display your Skills again many Elders will be kicked out by him, so do your best.” The Inky Head Elder spoke gently.

”Yes!” They saluted him and were incredibly happy.

”Do you think I will be able to attract some handsome Humans?” One Fox asked.

”I do think so, you are beautiful, we are all beautiful! They will come for us left and right~!” The second girl hummed.

”That would be good, the Male Foxes are too much of wimps, they don’t last at all...” Third Fox grieved, clearly unsatisfied.

”You are one to say that.” First Fox snorted. ”Aren’t you the one who always runs away from a fight?”

*Cough* ”That can’t be helped they are only barbarians around.” The Third Fox looked away.

Aiko rolled her eyes and was picked up from behind.

”Here you are...” Mei spoke. ”We will be redoing the tests, your card will be finished in 2 days since it got postponed,” Mei spoke while moving into their courtyard with Aiko.

”Moreover you will also be attending this grand occasion.” Mei smiled seeing Aiko frown. ”You don’t have to participate, you don’t have to pay attention. It’s for security measures.”

”Why?” Aiko frowned, she didn’t like large groups of smelly Humans.

”Because nobody will be in this courtyard, I will be also taking the tests.” Mei smiled seeing Aiko surprised. She petted her head gently.

”Blood Fox?” Aiko asked.

”She is coming too, since she is susceptible to charms, we can’t leave her here.” Mei didn’t like the fact that Aiko spoke about that Cow Fox.

”Oh... Okay.” Aiko frowned but didn’t disagree with Mei.

”Good.” Mei smiled, she liked this obedient Aiko the most since it was easier to maintain. That way she got more time for Pill Refining.

”Rest for now, we will be leaving soon.” Mei smiled gently, seeing Aiko not liking this idea.
