Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Chapter 268 – Mei~! ❤︎

'They are exactly the same...' Aiko narrowed her eyes. 'Well... almost.'

[Loyal]
[Won't betray you.]

'That is good to know.' Aiko nodded slowly. It was a good thing that Wanshu would not betray her.

"So, where are we?" Aiko asked the Blood Fox, now that she felt much better.

"Close to the Fox Village, we can enter it whenever we want." The Blood Fox smiled.

"What about them?" Aiko pointed at the cuddly twins.

"They will likewise follow." The Blood Fox smiled.

"How do you feel?" Aiko turned towards Wanshu.

"I feel amazing, Mistress." Wanshu bowed towards Aiko. Her feelings were mixed, but she had to admit that this transformation was wonderful.

Aiko nodded slowly. "Good."

That's all she needed to know, but how will it end now? Will she also join the team?

"Is something wrong, Mistress?" Wanshu tilted her head.

"Nothing for now." Aiko shook her head. She crawled out of fur wrapped around her body.

And it was just in time.

*Poof*

Aiko transformed into the Dew Form.

"Well, shuck..." Aiko sighed, but at least she could now walk on her own.

"When do you want to leave?" Aiko asked her team.

"We can go whenever Mistress." They all answered in sync.

Aiko nodded lightly. "I will dress up and we can go."

The Blood Fox helped Aiko with the dress, unlike what Aiko was used to, this was a very simple kimono. It felt a bit out of place, but the only difficult part about it was the belt. She could learn that quite quickly under the direction of the Blood Fox.

"Alright." Aiko was happy with this kind of clothing and fortunately, she only had two tails to care about, otherwise the hole in the kimono would have to be a lot bigger...

"Everyone ready?" Aiko looked around and saw everyone nod, she put a foot in front to walk, but then paused.

"What do we do with her?" Aiko pointed towards the Princess and everyone abruptly stopped.

The Princess had such a faint presence that everyone forgot her...

"I'm sorry..." The Princess bowed her head. She knew that it would be difficult to enter the Fox Village like this...

"Alright." Aiko nodded. It was time to test her [Tail Storage] again. "Help me shove her into my tails." Aiko was very weak and exhausted, so she needed help with it.

"Are you planning to smuggle me inside?!" The Princess was shocked. She didn't expect this gorgeous Fox to be so daring!

Aiko's team helped her inside Aiko Tails.

"Any discomfort?" The Blood Fox asked, staring at the absurdly fluffy tails.

"I don't feel her at all..." Aiko tilted her head. It was a surreal feeling...

"Well, let's go while it works!" Aiko pointed forward and started walking.

...

It didn't take that much time to arrive in front of the 'main gate'. There, the familiar Muscular Fox guarded it.

"Hello again~!" Aiko waved at him and he was left dumbstruck.

"Who are you?" The Muscular Fox still retained some of his sanity, even in front of such an unspeakably beautiful Fox.

"The Vicious Cub." Aiko was full of smiles, this kind of reaction was not bad at all!

"No." The Muscular Fox denied it immediately, which left Aiko speechless. "The Vicious Cub is this small." He gently indicated Aiko's previous height.

"And I'm still that small, just not in this form." Aiko nodded gently.

The Muscular Fox frowned. The sweet scent tickled his nostrils and his mind was getting cloudier by the moment.

"Sect Token." He said impatiently.

They all presented the Sect Tokens for him.

"You are really the Vicious Cub?!" The Muscular Fox was shocked.

Aiko only smiled gently.

The Muscular Fox coughed. "Please come inside. The Peak Elder from the Shadow Peak would like to talk with you about the mission. There is also the Elder from the Inscription Peak-"

Aiko stopped him from talking by raising her hand. "That can wait for later, I'm too tired to do anything other than sleep!" She stretched and her lethal weapons jiggled.

The Muscular Fox almost fainted, while the guard on the side was already unconscious.

"Please." The Muscular Fox held his nose while indicating for them to enter. He didn't question why the famous Wanshu was with them, or why she looked like the Umbra Fox? The Vicious Cub's new weapons were too lethal for his brain to think straight...

...

Aiko walked towards the Grandmaster's abode. She would meet up with Mei and sleep.

Of course, along the way, there were many Foxes that either fainted from blood loss or due to excitement...

"Mei~!" Aiko shouted as she barged into their place.

Mei looked over with a stern face. "So you finally-" She abruptly paused as her view was covered with two large peaks. She was blinded by a warm sensation.

Mei utilised the [Lightness Technique] to its current maximum potential, but she was shocked that she shook this thing off so easily.

Aiko fell down to the ground since she didn't expect Mei to move so abruptly.

*Plop*

"Auch." Aiko rubbed her nose since she face-planted onto the ground.

Mei was warily looking at her.

"Why are you so mean?!" Aiko cried out crestfallen.

Mei could feel their connection, but this kind of form was... very different to what she was used to...

"Who are you?" Mei asked questioningly. She hoped that her sweet, small servant didn't change so abruptly...

"Aiko." Aiko pouted at Mei.

Mei cursed in her mind that her adorable servant turned into a vixen.

"You are not Aiko. Aiko is small and cute." Mei pinched and played with Aiko's non-chubby cheeks. She felt like she had lost something precious...

Aiko cried out, this was a more familiar sight to Mei.

Mei rolled her eyes. "So what happened to you?"

"Evolution." Aiko replied briefly.

Mei was stunned and froze in place. Aiko took this opportunity to hug Mei once again, but this time she avoided her face.

Mei tried to shake Aiko away. She didn't like this kind of clinginess from Vixens, but the moment she touched Aiko; she realised something was wrong...

"Wrist." Mei commanded and Aiko obediently gave her her wrist.

Mei was shocked and traced her Divine Sense and Qi around Aiko's body, making her shiver from the sensation.

"Are you alright?" Mei gently touched Aiko, which was a very abrupt change compared to how she was previously.

"I feel tired and cold." Aiko whined and hugged Mei again, but this time she was not pushed away nor pinched.

Mei gently petted Aiko and glared at her team. She noticed that only the Blood Fox looked the same, just a bit more mature.

Meanwhile, there were two Foxes that looked like twins? Where is the Umbra Fox?

The Blood Fox bowed. "Many things happened, Mei..." She sighed.

"I can see that even without you telling me." Mei snorted coldly. She was on edge since she didn't like this big vixen, but at the same time... it was just an oversized Aiko... She should indulge her a bit more for the time being.

Mei was also concerned since she could not feel Aiko's Vitality at all. There was this strange energy inside Aiko that was trying to replenish her Vitality, but something dark inside her just sucked the Vitality without care in the world!

She would have to solve yet another headache that was coming...

Just then, yet another headache popped around the corner...

"I heard Aiko was back-" The Grandmaster gasped loudly. "Hello, beauty~" She snickered towards Mei. "You must be very happy. Kya!" The Grandmaster dodged the 'Tear' Pill that Mei threw at her.

The Grandmaster already knew that this beauty was Aiko, but she couldn't help but tease Mei about it...

The team was speechless, especially Wanshu. This would be her first time seeing the Grandmaster up close, but she remembered her as a very cold person...?

"Okay, okay! Stop washing Pills!" The Grandmaster kept dodging like a nimble Fox.

"Go ahead and die somewhere, you vixen!" Mei was fed up watching huge tits swaying in front of her face. She could not punish Aiko for it since she felt like it would kill her, but that was not the case with the overly energetic Grandmaster!

"Okay, I'm sorry! Mistress!" The Grandmaster shouted, making everyone speechless.

"Mistress?" The Blood Fox questioningly gazed at Mei.

"Don't underestimate my Pill, young Fox!" Mei snorted at the Blood Fox, clearly not in the mood to play around like she did previously.

"And you better explain what happened with Aiko and Umbra!" Mei proclaimed while glaring at the Blood Fox.

"Of course, Mei." The Blood Fox smiled gently, making Mei snort even more.

...

Mei was holding her temples like she had a bad headache.

"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH." Meanwhile, the Grandmaster was rolling around laughing like she was crazy. "I can't- HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA"

The Grandmaster couldn't speak clearly, as she could not believe that Aiko had caused so much damage to everyone and still left unscathed...

...

Mei looked like her soul left her body. The Grandmaster was still laughing, but with a serious expression on her face.

"I can't believe that she was able to forcibly Evolve you. HAHAHAHA." The Grandmaster laughed and sized the little Umbra up and down.

Yuxi blushed from the attention and hid behind her partner.

"And who are you?" Mei asked listlessly.

"I'm Wanshu." Wanshu spoke gently, but she kept staring towards the Grandmaster.

Everyone admired her strength and tenacity, especially those who knew the reason behind those wounds.

"Huh?" The Grandmaster stopped laughing. "You are that idiot's servant?"

"Not any more." Wanshu shook her head.

"He was killed." Aiko spoke gently, which shocked both Grandmaster and Mei.

The Mirage Fox was not strong by conventional means, but he had so many Treasures that it would be difficult to harm him normally.

"I was able to disable his Treasures." Yuxi spoke gently behind Wanshu.

Mei looked at the supposed Umbra Fox. "How?"

Yuxi activated her [Nightmare Mode] to showcase it.

Mei flinched and her Soul shook. She immediately used Divine Sense to pin her on the ground.

Wanshu was shocked and glared at Mei. "Leave my partner alone!"

Aiko gently whispered. "Don't hurt Yuxi."

Mei snapped out of her daze and lifted the restraints. The [Nightmare Mode] collapsed and Yuxi was in bad shape.

Mei was shocked at her instinctive reaction and rubbed her palm. "My apologies for overreacting..."

Mei then glanced around only to see the Grandmaster with an unsheathed blade ready to strike Yuxi...
