Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

’As big as possible...’ Aiko thought about it for a long time, but there was a slight issue.

’Even if I include all Runes, it would be too short. I don’t want to write stories since I would have to think about them and come up with them...’ Aiko narrowed her eyes. ’Thus we should commence the ’shared stories’ event with my team.’

Aiko walked outside. She was thinking for quite a long time.

The Peak Elder already returned, while Mei and the Blood Fox sipped tea with ’harmony’.

’There is a lot of lightning going on between them.’ Aiko tilted her head. ’Well, that’s fine. The more stories they share, the better for me.’ Aiko grinned like a devil.

The duo shivered and snapped towards that repulsive feeling, but they could only see Aiko smiling happily.

”Do you have any stories that we could share with others?” Aiko’s smile deepened. ”After all, the bigger the Inscription the more Spirit Stones we get~” Aiko hummed happily.

The duo shivered even more. They were after Spirit Stones quite a bit, but this kind of feeling of unease... they never experienced it in life!

”What are you planning?” Mei was able to recover since she wanted Aiko for herself.

”I will transcribe your stories into the Runic language and we will then sell it as a Grand Inscription!” Aiko proclaimed. ”You don’t have to worry about the effects, as I will include a lot of special Runes! Some Runes will burn, while others will hide!” Aiko laughed. This way, she should be able to get the highest possible evaluation.

The duo exchanged glances.

”What about Wanshu and Yuxi?” The Blood Fox asked.

”They can come back later and tell their stories. It will take time transcribing them as I have to choose appropriate Runes.” Aiko gestured.

Mei nodded. ”I will go last, since I have too many stories that I want to get rid of, and~” Mei laughed sinisterly. ”I can get back on some of my old enemies~” Mei hummed happily.

”Then I will start. Any kind of story is fine?” The Blood Fox asked.

”As long as you don’t mind sharing it and it doesn’t expose you or harm you.” Aiko added.

The Blood Fox nodded. She had a few stories that she could give Aiko for her grand plan.

...

A week later, Aiko was finished and sleepy. She was transcribing this whole time without sleeping. This naturally took a toll on her body.

Mei moved Aiko inside, while Yuxi and Wanshu curiously stared towards them.

”Now it will be our turn?” Yuxi asked gently. She was interested in this thing, since she would be able to insult everyone that she didn’t like without being found out!

”You will go first.” Wanshu licked her lips. ”My stories will be longer.” Wasnhu had a much longer list when it came to insults, so it was natural she would let her partner go first.

”But it’s really amazing...” Wanshu turned towards the Blood Fox, narrowing her eyes. ”... I didn’t think you had experienced so much.”

The Blood Fox snorted. ”That’s what you will go through if they dub you the ’Head of the Demonic Foxes’.” She snorted unhappily after saying it.

”Why would they do that?” Wanshu asked. The Blood Fox was drugged, manipulated and controlled. None of those things worked on her, but the fact that they tried something like that... It sent shivers down her spine.

”Because if they can control Demonic Foxes, they would pretty much have an unstoppable force.” The Blood Fox shrugged. It was not easy to control Demonic Foxes.

”...” Wanshu stared at the Blood Fox. ”What about Aiko?”

The entire group stiffened, everyone looked at Wanshu.

”What?” Wanshu tilted her head. ”We don’t need drugs to stay sane, just by being close to Aiko, we can be normal.” She shrugged. ”Doesn’t that mean we are pretty much slaves to her?” She laughed loudly.

The Blood Fox narrowed her eyes. ”That appears to be so, but are you saying she is not a good Mistress?” She narrowed her eyes dangerously.

”Nothing like that.” Wanshu waved her hand feeling the bloodlust from the Blood Fox. ”I’m as happy as I’m right now. I get to have a Mate and actual wealth!” She grinned. ”We do need Beast Cultivation Techniques to advance now.” She sighed.

”We can ask Mei later, for now, let’s watch over Aiko and let her do her thing.” The Blood Fox dismissed her worry.

”But if they don’t allow us into the Beast Cultivation Pavilion, we won’t be able to get proper Techniques.” Wanshu whined.

Yuxi gently smacked her. ”Shush, with Aiko in front, it’s not unlikely that a Beast Cultivation Technique falls from the sky.”

The Blood Fox and Grandmaster nodded.

They all snapped their heads towards the Grandmaster.

”Master.” The Blood Fox and Yuxi greeted her.

”At ease.” Dai Lu laughed. She didn’t expect that they had such high expectations from Aiko.

”How are you feeling?” Dai Lu asked curiously. ”You are all under a contract, but you also don’t act like that is the case.” She commented on the Blood Fox’s constant behaviour.

”Aiko told us to be at ease, so there is no reason to complicate things, Master.” The Blood Fox shrugged.

Dai Lu sighed. She wanted some kind of smutty news, but all she got was a completely natural answer with normal thoughts... outside of Yuxi’s thoughts. Those were as dirty as it gets.

Mei returned. ”It’s impressive what you have gone through.” She lightly commented.

The Blood Fox raised her eyebrow, but didn’t say anything. It was a strange feeling being acknowledged by this ’Queen’.

Mei shrugged seeing the doubtful Blood Fox and sat down. She sipped the unfinished tea with relish.

...

The next day Aiko went back, only to be greeted by her team. All of them were looking forward to their ’stories’ being transcribed.

None of them really liked this Fox Village, so they would take their time to sully and insult their image even more. Everything would come to light as long as they could read this Runic language!

Yuxi took her time, but it only took 2 days. She was always hiding around, so nothing that bad happened to her. Moreover, her strength was not all that good, so none really wished to train with her, excluding the lustful Foxes.

The next one was Wanshu and oh boy did she have things to say.

She was so livid that her face was constantly red when she talked. It got so bad that at times Mei covered Aiko’s ears! It would be bad if Aiko learned anything from Wanshu!

The transcribing took 5 days and Aiko went to sleep yet again.

...

The Grandmaster and Mei were next. For some reason, the Grandmaster was also joining the party and her piece to say.

Aiko’s mind spun. She never expected the gentle Grandmaster to have such a foul mouth! Moreover, Mei was no better!

’What happened to them?!’ Aiko’s mind was in turmoil.

She never saw her team in this state. Moreover, others even helped them with words so they would be able to portray their true colours better!

Aiko at the time even believed that she would have nightmares about this!

...

The time spent with the Grandmaster and Mei were... two months.

Aiko was completely drained and she didn’t have any peaceful sleep since she could hear them bicker outside.

On the last day, Aiko had enough and pulled out long sticks from her Storage Ring.

The group immediately quietened, but Aiko didn’t stop at that. She snorted unhappily, approaching her team with an angry expression.

The whole team dispersed, all of them were faster... except the Blood Fox.

”W-wait Aiko!” The Blood Fox didn’t want to end up like the others, so she tried to reason with her.

”What?” Aiko grumbled unhappily, steam rising from her mouth like she was some kind of monster.

”You can sleep in my tails even when you are in your big form!” The Blood Fox yelped. It was better to experience pain from a bigger, softer Aiko, than from the small, livid Aiko!

Aiko paused debating if it was worth it...

”Tsk, fine.” Aiko grumbled unhappily and snuggled the Blood Fox’s tails before she could say anything.

The Blood Fox sighed in relief, but vowed to get her revenge on the others for leaving her behind like that!

...

Aiko had blissful dreams these past few days. It seemed like the threat of flags was big enough to deter them from making noise during her sleep.

Aiko was happy about this change, as it allowed her to replenish some of her Moonlight Qi!

Aiko nodded happily. This kind of bed was the best.

Aiko stretched lazily. She was in her big form.

The Blood Fox was doing something, not paying any attention.

Aiko lazily worked her way behind the Blood Fox.

The Blood Fox currently wore her favourite Yukata, leaving her shoulders to the morning breeze. Her Yukata was quite revealing since she was not good with high temperatures, especially when it came to the lazy Aiko.

Aiko hugged the Blood Fox from behind, hooking her head in the Blood Fox’s neck nook.

The Blood Fox gasped loudly. ”A-Aiko!” She was startled since she was too focused on mixing teas.

”What is it?” Aiko said lazily. She was hugging her from behind and she especially liked the warmth that the Blood Fox’s neck and shoulders were giving her.

Thanks to the fact that Aiko’s hot breath tickled the Blood Fox’s neck, her body shivered. She almost lost her mind once Aiko planted her lips on the back of her neck.

The Blood Fox’s eyes moistened and her ears dropped. Her breathing was short and uneven.

Mei came to the view and basket in the misfortune of the Blood Fox, but no matter how much pleading her eyes were... Mei would not help her.

Soon the Blood Fox collapsed, startling Aiko who was enjoying the rising warmth from her.

”W-what’s wrong?” Aiko was taught what she should and shouldn’t do with others, but this was not one of the things she was taught!

Aiko gently rolled the Blood Fox over, revealing her completely flushed face and moist eyes. She did not know why, but she quite liked this... strange sight.

”Mistress...” The Blood Fox murmured, sending a shiver down Aiko’s spine.

For some reason, the Blood Fox sounded way too erotic! Why?! Aiko didn’t know what came over the Blood Fox, so she just blushed at her... ’Why are your clothes so loose?!’ Aiko was shocked at the Blood Fox’s attire.

Mei questioned what was happening, but soon assumed the role of ’guardian’ separating Aiko from the Blood Fox.

The Blood Fox glared at Mei, while Aiko had a constant questioning look.

’It seems I will have to teach her later certain things...’ Mei licked her lips as this would be really fun.
