Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

{Prince’s Garden: Inside the House}

The Blood Fox was frowning. This Vitality was more potent than the previous ones, which made the extraction harder.

At the same time, she could feel the restraints on her body lessening, like something heavy was being lifted away.

She slowly worked on her blood, concentrating that liquid into a single point that would be easy to extract.

It was... a difficult job. The Princess didn’t provide full access for the Blood Fox to extract it easily, so the Blood Fox had to weave her skills around the roadblocks like a skilled horse rider.

She sweated from the difficulty at times, especially around her heart and brain. The Vitality was very potent over there, making it difficult to manipulate.

That didn’t deter the Blood Fox, she promised herself to fulfil this desire that Aiko had and finish this mission.

She would then visit her brother; take a longer-than-necessary warm bath and just relax...

Let’s hope that Aiko will stay still for a bit after they return... It would be troublesome if Aiko couldn’t stay still...

The Blood Fox sighed. ’It’s Aiko, so it’s obvious she won’t stay still...’ She lamented in her mind, but considering how much trouble she caused... there was very little ’punishment’ for it.

The Blood Fox was confused at this point, since there was always someone who would cover for the little Aiko. Like that Dragon Miss, she didn’t know Aiko from her shocked reaction, yet she helped her...

The Blood Fox’s mind wandered since she was accumulating a bit of the liquid, which didn’t require her to think.

The world was strange... Everything was much easier when she was just a little Fox.

She could play around with her brother and bite him to her liking or thrash him around.

But now she had to be careful... Her brother was worried about her, which meant he didn’t really put any guard up and would get easily injured by her.

She had to be careful about others, since they saw her like she was just a piece of warm meat...

Aiko was different and the same at the same time.

She didn’t have any guard around her, well maybe some guard, but she was similar to her brother.

At the same time, she loved sleeping on her for some reason, which reminded her of being just a piece of warm meat...

That was in the beginning, but the more she observed the little rascal, the more confused she was.

She didn’t seek just her, but anything fluffy that she could sleep in.

Aiko didn’t like normal beds and would rather sneak inside a warm fluffy tail.

She also didn’t really like sleeping alone, but that might be her imagination since Aiko rarely slept without something fluffy.

The Blood Fox heard a ruckus outside.

She was worried about them, especially the Umbra Fox since she was the weakest.

”Fuck! Fucking shitty bastards! This was supposed to be entertainment!”

The Blood Fox’s lips twitched, Aiko seemed very lively and even the outside quietened down.

’Everything should be alright... right?’ The Blood Fox paused.

”I hate this! Heuk-”

She heard the Umbra Fox cry and choke.

The Blood Fox was worried that something happened.

”Why won’t you just die, why do I have to cut you into pieces?! I hate this!”

She heard the Umbra Fox crying constantly while complaining, but the crying got only worse...

The Blood Fox was concerned, so she stopped her work for a moment.

”Are you alright?” The Blood Fox asked the Umbra Fox.

”Heuk-” The Umbra Fox choked. ”I’m alright...”

She paused for a moment. ”I’m worried about Aiko since she took most of the assailants and chased after them...”

’Loyal to a fault...’ The Blood Fox narrowed her eyes, but she somewhat understood where that loyalty was coming from.

’Aiko is like that saviour that would never abuse you the moment she took a liking to you. Unlike the other ’leaders’.’ The Blood Fox sighed.

Aiko would tease them, but she was very gentle with them and cherished them greatly. So the Blood Fox somewhat understood why the Umbra Fox was so loyal.

’I also don’t want to return to that place...’ The Blood Fox would do everything in her power to avoid that, but also within reason.

The moment Aiko would go after her body would be the point when she would leave. She had her pride and would prefer to be a mindless Beast than submit to someone.

Aiko was incredibly nice, but there were certain things that she just couldn’t tolerate...

”She will be fine, judging by the explosions, she is running towards the main palace.” The Blood Fox said slowly. ”Are you alright? Do you need any help?”

The Blood Fox could temporarily seal that liquid, it would last only a few dozen breaths, but that would be enough to empower the Umbra Fox.

”It’s fine...” The Umbra Fox wiped the tears and hiccuped. ”They are finally dead... Aiko took the rest.” The Umbra Fox had a somewhat hard time talking since she was sobbing.

”Okay, tell me if I should help you.” The Blood Fox said gently.

She liked the Umbra Fox since they had a lot in common.

Style of dresses, foods, you name it. The Blood Fox would be heartbroken if something happened to her or Aiko.

*BOOM*

The Prince’s Garden shook.

’...’ The Blood Fox touched her forehead, it seemed like this time Aiko was truly going all out.

’Well... that’s the only obvious outcome.’ The Blood Fox shook her head, Aiko sounded really pissed off when she said those words.

’It’s a good thing that this doesn’t translate to us.’ The Blood Fox nodded gently, appreciating Aiko a bit more.

At worst, Aiko would chase them or tease them, but she wouldn’t resort to violence...

’Sometimes...’ The Blood Fox rubbed her boobs, since for some reason Aiko liked to hit them...

’Doesn’t she understand that she will still grow?’ The Blood Fox tilted her head, there were only a few Foxes with smaller boobs; most of them would be quite big...

You are more likely to be packed to the brim than have a flat surface.

”Is something wrong outside?” The Princess asked, concerned.

”The only thing that is wrong would be you not allowing me access and slowing this whole thing down.” The Blood Fox was ruthless in her words, not sugar-coating it.

”I’m sorry...” The Princess immediately quietened down.

The Blood Fox could only shake her head. This whole situation was troublesome, but it seems like this whole thing is under control...

”I still wonder what they are after.” The Blood Fox murmured.

”They were pretty unhinged and undying, so it must be precious...” The Umbra Fox said gently.

The Blood Fox nodded, not saying anything to that.

”How are you feeling?” The Blood Fox asked again.

”Better since they are no longer trying to stand up...” The Umbra Fox was shivering from that experience, but it was still better than it was previously.

”Was it that bad?” The Blood Fox couldn’t see outside so she had to go with her sense of hearing.

”Bad.” The Umbra Fox said briefly and then added. ”Even if you cut their limbs, they would still crawl towards you...” The Umbra Fox shivered once again.

”Then what happened that made them run away?” The Blood Fox was confused... if someone was that unhinged and fearless, there would be no way they would run away.

The Umbra Fox coughed awkwardly. ”Aiko might have or might not have used their comrades as improvised weapons...” She would naturally leave the fact that Aiko played with their guts and other parts.

”Pardon?” The Blood Fox thought she misheard it.

”She used the assassins as bashing weapons.” The Umbra Fox shortened it down.

”...” The Blood Fox stared forward. It was a good thing that Aiko was nice to them...

...

{Prince’s Garden: Outside the House}

Aiko spent sleepless days here. In theory, she didn’t need to sleep, so she was just recovering her Beast Core and meditating.

Her Stamina recovered slowly compared to when she slept, but it was still over around 500 stamina per hour, which refilled her tank quite quickly.

Then there was finally a change.

The insides stirred.

”No, you don’t! Dammit!” The Blood Fox cursed and Aiko was concerned, even the Prince and others stared towards the inside.

Just then, something blasted through the wall.

It was pure liquid.

”Fuck!” Aiko immediately knew what it was, since her insides stirred.

She immediately started to run away.

The Prince was confused and he wanted to hurry inside, but then he heard.

”I’m alright.” The Princess said with a soft, but tired voice. ”Let me dress up first.”

The Prince blushed deep red, but he was slightly tempted to go inside.

The Princess was the perfect partner for him, both body and mind. So he was really doing his best to control his urges.

That was one of the reasons why he sought this little Fox. If the Princess lost that thing that made her desirable to both Humans and Fiendish Cultivators; it would mean that she would be safe from them and he would be the only one to truly desire her.

The Prince’s hands were gripping his clothes. To enter or not to enter...

It was an incredibly hard dilemma.

”Don’t you dare enter the house or you will be sleeping on the ground for a whole month!” The Princess’s voice suddenly drifted from inside the house and the guards were suppressing laughter.

”I don’t dare, I don’t dare.” The Prince said happily. ”But you better give me a good hug!” He would negotiate since he really wanted to feel her body. Now that the addiction part was erased, he would be able to indulge with her freely!

”Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” Aiko was jumping over obstacles and running from the strangely flying liquid.

The Prince looked over and then looked towards the Umbra Fox, but she just looked away like she didn’t want to say anything about that.

Aiko finally managed to finesse the bottle out of her Storage Ring.

”AHA!” Aiko cheered. ”Now come here, you bastard!”

She still ran away, but she tried to force it into the bottle.

It was a funny sight of Aiko jumping around waving a bottle in her hand.

This happened even after the Princess was dressed and went outside, but nobody paid attention to her since they were greatly amused by the little Fox.

”Dammit! You slippery bastard!” Aiko cursed like she always did. Not noticing that Chen Shi and Lady Liu were also watching...

Aiko frowned as it just didn’t want to enter that bottle and she grabbed it in her hand in order to shove it inside.

”Aha!” Aiko triumphed, but soon after she noticed a strange feeling in her hand or rather the lack of feeling.

She opened her hand and the liquid was gone!? No! She could see her skin was whiter than before! It was slowly returning to its former peach colour and then it clicked for her.

”I absorbed it through the skin?!” Aiko was shocked that she almost fainted and Chen Shi grinned from ear to ear.

He finally got some revenge for making his head hurt!
