Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

”I’m Jun!” The Lion roared unhappily. He couldn’t believe that was the best impression that she got from him.

”Hello.” Sun Aiko nodded as she stole even more snacks from the plates. ”You should eat too, they are yummy.”

Jun was completely speechless by her demeanour. ’They will kill you for being so rude!’ He thought inside his mind, but to his shock, both of the Sect Leaders only observed her.

Sun Aiko munched on those snacks and revelled in the feeling of having her Beast Core restore so much energy.

She did use her energy to get here, but that was quickly replenished by her snacks.

’I wish I had Levels now, this could give me such a good boost.’ Sun Aiko clicked her tongue.

”Weren’t you bigger before?” The Southern Sect Leader asked the small ’Fox’.

”Who are you calling small?! You are small! Your family is small!” Sun Aiko roared unhappily at him as she puffed up her cheeks.

”Don’t worry, even if you are small, you just have to use it well.” The bull smirked at the Southern Sect Leader as he patted his back.

”You bastard! Is that how you treat the winner?!” The Southern Sect Leader glared at him.

”Shut it, Wu Tao.” The bull snorted unhappily.

”What did you say, Rampaging Bull?!” Wu Tao glared at him.

”Oi! Stop using my nickname!” Rampaging Bull glared at him.

”Kekeke, what are you going to do about it, bastard, challenge me in Go?” Wu Tao laughed at him.

”Ugh.” Rampaging Bull snorted unhappily, but he didn’t continue this meaningless battle.

Sun Aiko was forgotten, which she didn’t mind since she had plenty of snacks that she could munch on.

They were also small, so they were one bite and gone, making her happy that she wouldn’t be a messy eater.

Jun was blankly staring at his ’dignified’ Master and the Sect Leader of the Beast Sect.

The Beast Sect would be changing leadership soon, as its Master was also the Founder of the main Beast Sect.

On the mainland, it might be smaller than the other Sects, but they did have significant sway over others thanks to the many powerhouses hiding inside their Sect.

”How about this one?” Wu Tao nudged the small ’Fox’ to eat a different kind of snack each time she would finish this one.

”Too bitter.” Sun Aiko scrunched her face as her tongue rolled out. This was too bitter for her, and she didn’t like it.

”How about this one?” Rampaging Bull was amused by her expression, so he also nudged her a bit.

”Gaaah! So spicy!” Sun Aiko breathed fire from her mouth and glared at the bull.

”Hmmm, but these are quite good...” Rampaging Bull didn’t understand why the small Fox didn’t like it.

”Are you stupid, Qiang? She is a Fox, not a grass eater.” Wu Tao snorted at him.

”What did you say, stupid?!” Zonghan Qiang glared at him. ”You want to test my charge?”

”It’s obvious she would like meat more.” Wu Tao said, shrugging. He was not scared of this black bull that acted like a human at all!

”Is that why you gave her bitter things?” Zonghan Qiang shook his head. ”You have a nasty personality.”

Zonghan Qiang transformed as he was sitting.

He turned into a womanising male that any female would worship.

His long black hair and black eyes were similar to his fur, yet his gentle temperament and kind complexion were in stark contrast to his rampaging tendencies.

He slowly picked up the small ’Fox’ and offered her juicy meat.

”Mmmm...” Sun Aiko didn’t mind this treatment as long as they offered her tributes! ”Too much blood.” It was fine if it was juicy, but if they didn’t properly drain the blood, the taste of iron would spoil Aiko’s taste buds.

”Too chewy.”

”Too tough.”

”Is this a rock?”

”Why the fuck are you offering me a rock?!”

Sun Aiko was throwing a hissy fit each time they gave her something unsavoury.

”You are really picky.” Zonghan Qiang shook his head.

”Who are you calling picky?!” Sun Aiko was quite angry that the tribute they surrendered to her was insufficient.

”Taste my kick!” Unfortunately, Sun Aiko’s small stature was insufficient in reaching anything with her short legs, so she just kicked up a fuss.

”Tsk.” Sun Aiko didn’t want to get back to her big form since her Eldest Sister warned her that they were perverts and were after her.

Sun Aiko begrudgingly fought against the chewy meat until she was completely sated.

*burp*

”Not bad.” Sun Aiko nodded her head, as this tribute was sufficient, she didn’t need to test the quality of nearby Herbs.

Jun already fainted from the shock, and why others didn’t go after Aiko like they would go after him, but...

”She is definitely cute...” Zonghan Qiang smiled happily.

”You have not seen her in her adult form.” Wu Tao smirked proudly.

While he was unlike the other perverts, he still knew how to appreciate true beauty.

It was definitely not because the Hidden Peak Elder threatened to cut his balls off when he accidentally barged on her while she was bathing! Definitely not!

”Tsk.” Zonghan Qiang clicked his tongue. ”Are there so few beauties that we would need another? It’s better if she stays like this, as she will have fewer enemies.” He shook his head, disapproving of his words.

”Oh, you little toad inside a deep well, you have no idea what kind of beauty she is.” Wu Tao clicked his tongue. It was a shame that he wouldn’t be able to recruit her into his Sect, but he was also happy that this dull bull would be unable to do that either!

”Tsk, you think I would want another Fox inside my Sect?” Zonghan Qiang shook his head.

”The only reason I would bring in another Fox is if the Princess was interested in one, and that still wouldn’t allow her to go in without taking the test!” Zonghan Qiang snorted at him, like Wu Tao was some kind of short-sighted Sect Leader.

Wu Tao clicked his tongue again, but he didn’t say anything any more.

Sun Aiko, meanwhile, got away from him.

”How about a game of Go?” Zonghan Qiang smiled.

”No. Eldest Sis said you would bully me.” Sun Aiko immediately declined. ”Maybe during the night, and that’s only if you can bring proper tribute!” She pouted before running away in her Fox Form.

”Tribute?” Zonghan Qiang was confused.

”She wants rewards if she defeats us.” Wu Tao quickly translated those words, since he already had enough experience with the Winter Beasts.

”Oh.” Zonghan Qiang nodded his head. ”What does she like?” He turned towards his friend.

”How am I supposed to know that?” Wu Tao was completely speechless at how stupid this guy was.

”Isn’t she your guest?” Zonghan Qiang tilted his head. He believed that it was natural to know the preferences of the guests, so there would not be any blunders during their stay.

”...” Wu Tao couldn’t deny those words, and he already knew what the bull was thinking about, so he decided to stay silent.

”Tsk. Hospitality, my ass, if it was not for me, you would probably never know that she-” Zonghan Qiang described in detail what the little Fox liked and disliked, making Wu Tao stare at him in shock.

”What the f-” Wu Tao breathed in and out, calming his nerves. He was completely flabbergasted that this dull bull knew more about her in such a short time than he, as the Sect Leader!

”Hmpf. You are still wet behind the ears.” Zonghan Qiang snorted at him. ”And you-!” He slapped his pupil. ”Wake up, you lazy bastard and start working!” He still had 2 sets of mental mantras to finish, and the sun was coming down already!

Jun was almost shocked to death, but he had to follow the words of his Master...

...

During the night, Moon Aiko woke up inside her body and immediately transformed into her pseudo-Human Form. She was happier in that form since she didn’t have paws and could use her fingers to move things.

However, as she did that, her body was tightly squeezed.

”Hm?” Moon Aiko was confused, and something next to her stirred awake.

”A-Aiko?!” Li Xiu was shocked that she was hugging naked Aiko in her human form.

She immediately covered her eyes, but she also saw everything.

”Your nose is bleeding.” Moon Aiko warned Li Xiu, since she might have hit her head or something like that.

”N-no, you are imagining things!” Li Xiu’s eyes darted around. ’Why am I so weak against her?!’ She was completely unaware that Moon Aiko exuded a unique scent that made people both feel at ease and horny.

It was not as severe as Captivating Aiko, but it was still bad enough for her to feel the effects.

”I will take a walk.” Moon Aiko said slowly. She was interested in how well they would be able to play Go.

”No way!” Li Xiu yelled and immediately darted to her dresser. She was bigger than Aiko, but her Master took care of her from when she was little, so she still had smaller sizes around.

”Take this!” Li Xiu commanded. She would not allow Aiko to walk outside without clothes!

Moon Aiko obediently took those clothes and dressed herself up.

”Li Xiu?” Moon Aiko talked towards her behind the paper screen.

”What is it?” Li Xiu was calming her heart so that she wouldn’t get another nosebleed.

”It’s tight around the chest...” Moon Aiko said softly, but she could hear the pillows being thrown around.

”I’m sorry that I was so small!” Li Xiu glared at Aiko. ”Haha, I will have to ask the Master to undergo metamorphosis!” For some reason, she suddenly became obsessed with that Cultivation Stage.

”...” Moon Aiko restrained her lips, just in case Li Xiu had more to say.

She then walked outside as Li Xiu kept mumbling something to herself.

Moon Aiko walked from the inner courtyard to the outer one, only meeting one Disciple.

”Oh?! A beauty!” His eyes shone, but they didn’t maintain that lustre forever.

”Sleep...” Moon Aiko used a bit of her scent to stimulate his brain and put him to sleep.

This would be the second time she tried this, but the effects were quite good.

She was now aiming to get to that Peak without taking too much time, which meant it was time to utilise her Beast Technique!

[Gale Steps: 2/9] paired [Illusionary Steps: 1/9] were quite quick. They did consume a lot of Stamina, but...

’Unlimited Stamina is nice~’ Moon Aiko marvelled at the fact that she no longer needed to watch her Stamina as she did things.

She still had to watch out for mental exhaustion, but that was about it! She only had to be careful about a couple of things!
