Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Witch Aiko scrunched her eyes. She was on a familiar field, where she fainted.

[Calculating rewards.]

She looked around, not seeing those creepy flowers or anything. Sure, they wouldn’t follow her into this place, but even as she looked towards the horizon, she still couldn’t find anyone.

”Uhuh...” Witch Aiko pursed her lips. She saw it, again. This place was crumbling like that Sacred Realm.

”Well, that’s too bad.” Witch Aiko scratched her head, she didn’t get enough rewar-

Too many things were happening at once. Witch Aiko didn’t know what to do first.

’Yes.’ She first tapped this.

[22.22M Souls are used for Tails.]

[The rest of the Soul Points will be used to strengthen the Soul Domain.]

[Unity of Body and Soul (First): Established.]

[Your body will now undergo changes.]

Witch Aiko shrunk back as she could feel her body twisting.

Her black hair got even blacker, now you couldn’t see where they started and ended as it melted into her surroundings.

Witch Aiko’s already large ears got even larger. Her eyes constantly changed shape until they settled on amber.

Those eyes gently burned towards the sclera. Those same eyes were able to see through most things, although it was tiring on her body.

She had perfect vision and nothing could blind her or disturb her sight.

Her head grew a bit bigger, just slightly, to adjust to those large eyes.

Witch Aiko’s nose and lips stayed the same, as small and sharp as they could get. Her eyebrows were quite prominent, as they were thin, but long. Her eyelashes were long, protecting her eyes further.

Witch Aiko’s tattoos disappeared, everything converged onto her forehead, slightly above her eyebrows.

There, a small lantern could be seen, with the Sun and Moon orbiting it. Under the lantern, there sat a large lotus, supporting the weight of everything, or at least that’s how it seemed.

The lantern was mostly black-metallic, giving a gentle barely noticeable hue. The flame was the same colour as her eyes, amber, burning quietly, moving without actually moving. The lotus under it was colourful, but mostly white. The Moon was lightly-blue, as if it was covered by ice, while the Sun was burning in a similar colour as the Moon. It was hard to say which one was which, only Witch Aiko could tell...

Her hair grew thicker, you could barely see her scalp, even if you moved everything away. It kind of felt like a lion’s mane, but fortunately it was not so fluffy that it would get into her way. Her length now reached to her legs, or maybe even further. It felt like her black hair was not moving.

Stolen novel; please report.

Her body didn’t change much. She still had that hourglass shape, with impressive hips and slim waist. Her bountiful bosom swayed from side to side, but it was not so heavy that it would give her a stroke.

Her legs were also slightly longer, she was now probably back to around 205cm (165cm)? Maybe more? It was hard to say as she didn’t have anything to compare to.

Behind her were huge tails. 16 of them. The number almost doubled which startled her, but she was not against it.

Her toes could move independently. No, she could control her body at will, that included her huge, black tails.

Those tails looked kind of like nebulae, dark, mysterious, yet tempting.

Gently tracing her curves, Witch Aiko was happy she got them back, but also that she didn’t turn into Ah Cy. Poison coursed through her body in stabilised fashion, but one move, and she could ignite them all, making them into a deadly weapon.

Her clothes... was a simple kimono, since her previous clothes disappeared.

It was a black kimono, with golden and silver threads and art. The belt was red and white, accentuating her waist while also holding everything together.

Her shoulders were uncovered and so was part of her bosom. She liked to wear it like this, since it got a bit toasty because of her bosom.

”But I’m upset that I lost the hairpin.” Witch Aiko smacked her lips.

Her hands were now slimmer, it was obvious her body got weaker and stronger, depending on how you looked at it. Her system... changed a lot, but mostly for the better. She didn’t need to deal with as many stats, but some stats were not included. It was kind of strange.

Her nails were long and sharp, but she could also round them if she wished to, as for colour, they were either black or red.

Her body was much more impressive than she expected.

The tip of her tails were white. It was hard to say where this colour came from, the same was with the inner part of her huge ears.

There were no other noticeable changes.

The symbol on her forehead subtly changed. Now only the white lotus remained.

Her eyes turned back red, as if everything was a dream.

Witch Aiko changed into Moon Aiko.

The symbol on her forehead lit up.

Moon Aiko also didn’t change much, with her more modest curves, but still sensual body, she could still conquer kingdoms.

She was not as seductive as Witch Aiko, she didn’t have red, ravishing lips, or hips that could destroy Empires, but her cool beauty would still attract gazes.

’Thanks for that curse there were no other instances where others would bark for me, but I should still be careful in the future.’ Moon Aiko nodded her head.

She had gentle amber eyes. They were burning quietly, much more slowly.

Her hair and ears were either silvery or light blue, depending on the angle you looked at her. The same was with her tails. Giant tails were behind her.

Tracing her body, she approached her sensitive spots.

”Ngh...” Moon Aiko groaned. It seems like Witch Aiko’s body was still present in Moon Aiko’s body, but she could also suppress that side.

’It’s colder now.’ Moon Aiko represented the cold Moon, as she chose the Glacial Origin Moon. It might even be possible that her hair colour would change depending on the season, but it was not like she could observe it.

Her body was overall smaller than Witch Aiko. Around 200cm (160cm)? Again, it was hard to say since there was nothing to compare herself to.

Standing up, Moon Aiko changed again.

”Hmmm...” Sun Aiko smacked her lips as she smacked her body. It was as tomboyish as you could get. Forget Bs, maybe even As don’t cover her!

Her body was the smallest, but her explosive energy was the greatest. The unity was not perfect and Sun Aiko couldn’t stay out for long, but it gave her a good idea.

Her eyes burned brightly, as if they were always supposed to. The gentle shine not only illuminated her surroundings, but it also gave her more information. This was the power of her eyes.

Her tails were now closer to Wolf-Rayet Star, circling with blue shades and white. Her tails were burning brightly and not just brightly, but also scorchingly.

Sun Aiko swayed her tails, burning everything around her. It was even harder to control her body, so she had to be even more careful.

”~” She hummed happily as she jumped around. Her loose clothes almost fell off, if not for her sudden transformation.

”Phew...” Moon Aiko corrected her clothes, completely concealing her shoulders and trying the belt tighter.

Her hair was contrasting her kimono really well, but she would prefer something a bit gentler on the eyes.

[[Sleeping (Stage 1)] was used to empower the [Soul Domain (Size: 2)].]

[[Perfect Memory (Stage 0)] is being merged into [Serene Library (Mortal)].]

[...]

[...]

Even more changes were happening as Moon Aiko looked over. There was simply too much to keep track of, so she let it finish before looking over it...

-----

Mei perked up her ears. ”It seems like Aiko will return soon.”

”I feel the same way.” Danji joined the conversation.

It was good that Aiko would be returning since the Nightmare Owl Clan was freaking out a bit.

”Fortunately, Aiko’s connection got stronger than before, so she probably robbed someone.” Mei chuckled.

”Let’s hope she didn’t destroy another Realm.” Dai Lu laughed, but nobody laughed with her.

”Oh, c’mon. Just because I say something silly it won’t come true.” Dai Lu pouted, reading everyone’s mind and how they accused her of jinxing the situation.

”Knowing Aiko, she will return with something nice~” Yuxi giggled happily.

”Ugh...”

Everyone groaned as those two lovebirds were too affectionate in public.

”What?” Yuxi glared at them. ”Get someone too!”

”Ugh...”

And sometimes she was a bit insufferable for all those lonely individuals...

”How about making bets about how much Aiko will bring?” Wanshu suggested when she saw the conversation subtly changing for the worse.

”That’s not a bad idea.” Mei playfully tapped her lip. ”What do we suggest for this wager?”
