Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Chapter 223 – Aiko taking control and Getting used to each other…

Aiko didn't like him, but since they were stuck together, it would be bothersome to punish him harshly.

However, that didn't mean she wouldn't punish him at all, everything requiring muscles would be dumped on him and he would have to deal with everything she would find boring or annoying.

Aiko found her pseudo-Human form better for most things, especially since her increased height meant she wouldn't have to jump for most mundane things like she does in her fox form.

"Someone doesn't know how to write..." Aiko shook her head. She noticed a wall of Runes, it was yet another story, but the Runes were so badly made that it was hard to read them.

Aiko didn't know if that was a good or bad thing, but she would have to decipher some, just in case it was some kind of explanation against traps.

"You... ermmm... take..." Aiko took her time translating it, since she knew for a fact that Fatty wouldn't be able to translate it.

After a few hours, Aiko was finished.

"You take the female, lift her up and pierce her with a holy rod. You shake her up and down until the holy rod discharges its sacred liquid into the female. The female will reach a state of bliss that balances her yin and yang. This will greatly increase her speed of of advancement for a limited time. The greater the discharge of the holy rod, the longer her advancement acceleration lasts."

"The same effect will apply to the male. His advancement speed will still be boosted, however unlike females who gain no benefit from multiple sessions in quick succession. The male can preform several session by using different females, with diminishing returns later down the line."

"The effect is limited after 20 females and you won't get much benefit any more. You will get benefits by rotating the females and assigning them by their yin power. The more powerful yin should be the last to prevent the overpowering of the other yin inside the male body."

Aiko slapped the wall. "Make it make sense! This is not helping at all!" She was upset, meanwhile, the Gluttonous Fox was obediently sitting nearby after getting his seat assigned by Aiko.

He was frowning since it seemed this place had to do something with the Fox Village's Cultivation manual, but in order to clear this place, it would mean he would have to have sex...

'I don't like small Foxes...' He sobbed inside his mind, if it was at least the red Fox he could do, but all the Foxes except the lustful Shadow Passion were just not to his liking...

"Alright." Aiko nodded and the Gluttonous Fox shivered for some reason.

"Let's burn this place!" Aiko liked nice stories that made sense, but there was no need to keep such unsavoury stories for others!

She would thoroughly burn this place down!

"Ummm. I don't think that's a good idea." The Gluttonous Fox knew that the Master of the Mirage Fox would be livid if this happened.

Aiko glared at him, but he was still standing by his words.

"Okay." The Gluttonous Fox breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed like he was able to prevent-

"You will get two flags instead of one and you will also be the one to set this thing on fire." Aiko concluded. She wouldn't take any retorts!

"But this is inheritance ground!" The Gluttonous Fox yelled, but his head was soon nailed into a wall by Aiko's kick.

It was a light kick since he was protected, but that didn't mean he was not upset.

What he didn't know was the fact that Aiko was holding back. She didn't want to cripple him since it would mean she would have to do all the work herself.

Normally that would be fine since she didn't want to order her team around, but since her team was not around her and she had this fat blob of a Fox with her...

Might as well help him burn a few calories!

Aiko nodded and walked deeper into this place. She was hesitant since she didn't know what to expect from this place.

She knew that this place was not good for her since she felt the strange stare from the Gluttonous Fox and she wished her team would be around to solve the mysteries so Aiko could just rob the Treasures!

...

{Meanwhile on the Umbra Fox's end}

*Crash*

"Auch"
"Argh"

They rubbed their buttocks since there was no soft pillow to fall into.

The Umbra Fox looked around, but could only find the Shadow Passion with her.

She was concerned about what would happen to Aiko if she was with the Blood Fox...

The Blood Fox had tendencies to spoil Aiko in order to stay close to her so she wouldn't get inside, but at the same time that made Aiko lazy.

Mei will be upset with them that it got so bad, but... It's not their fault, alright?! Aiko is just too cute!

The Umbra Fox tried to stand up, but there was actually something soft under her.

Something wrapped around her waist and she jumped up with her assailant.

"Ugh." The Shadow Passion didn't expect this extreme reaction and dumped her head against the Umbra Fox's back.

"Oh..." The Umbra Fox paused when she heard that voice.

"My back hurts..." The Shadow Passion whined, using the Umbra Fox as support to straighten her back.

The Umbra Fox pursed her lips. 'I'm not that heavy!' She cried out in her mind, but she realised that the Shadow Passion was of similar weight when she clung to her.

"You really do smell." The Umbra Fox had to pinch her nose. Aiko told them during the night that the Shadow Passion smelled bad, but they couldn't smell anything.

Now she understood what Aiko meant. "You smell of sex."

The Shadow Passion frowned, both from pain and embarrassment. "It's not my fault."

"Is it not?" The Umbra Fox raised her eyebrow, but then it clicked. "Are you perhaps...?"

The Shadow Passion stiffened, but could only nod.

"My condolences..." The Umbra Fox sighed. "Well, if the Mirage Fox ended up with Ai- Mistress, then we won't make it out of here alive."

The Shadow Passion shook her head. "He is a lot stronger than others..." She was not allowed to say why, so she couldn't warn them about him.

"Hehehe~" The Umbra Fox hummed. "You are in for a ride~" She giggled happily.

That happy smile stunned the Shadow Passion.

"Are you also not like me?" The Shadow Passion didn't believe that there was Fox not under that effect.

"Of course not." The Umbra Fox shook her head. "I was able to hide from most male Foxes and then the Mistress picked me up, so I'm under her protection~" The Umbra Fox hummed happily once again.

"What about the Demonic Fox?" When the Shadow Passions team was introduced, they only knew about the Vicious Cub's team from rumours and even those were very few and far between.

"She..." The Umbra Fox didn't know how to say it. "Just treat her like a normal Fox and you can become her friend." The Umbra Fox didn't know how to describe the Blood Fox's unique situation.

"Huh...?" The Shadow Passion's brain was not working all that well and she couldn't digest that information. The Blood Fox was a Demonic Fox like her, so she should be under the effects of those voices...

But... she really liked the Umbra Fox. Her smile and giggles were very soothing in her ears.

"Anyway... where are we?" The Umbra Fox looked around, but it was so dimly lit that she had to use her Elemental Affinity in order to see.

The Shadow Passion pursed her lips. "Why did you jump inside when you don't know where it will take you?" She couldn't understand this Fox, like she couldn't understand her Mistress...

"Because Ai- Mistress jumped inside, so it's only natural I will follow." The Umbra Fox tilted her head, not understanding the Shadow Passion.

The Shadow Passion was completely speechless. "She didn't even order you and you are still blindly following her?!" She felt a headache incoming and understood why the Mirage Fox was saying this would be a babysitting job...

"Of course! We get so many Treasures and rewards when we follow her~" The Umbra Fox hummed.

"You get Treasures?!" The Shadow Passion's eyes almost popped out of her eye sockets.

"Yeah." The Umbra Fox pulled a small dagger that Aiko didn't like.

"It's really a Treasure!" The Shadow Passion was deeply shocked.

"Yeah, Mistress is very nice to us, I have like 20 of these." The Umbra Fox pulled one more to prove her point.

The Shadow Passion collapsed on the ground. There was something wrong with her and she could only let out a broken laugh.

She had to sell herself to him each time she needed an upgrade in equipment, as her Master pocketed all the Treasures and Spirit Stones...

"Are you alright?" The Umbra Fox was concerned, hearing that laughter. She gently petted the Shadow Passion's back.

"I don't want to go back." She cried, shocking the Umbra Fox.

"Ermmm, ummmm." The Umbra Fox didn't know what to do, since Aiko was very simple.

Aiko + crying = She needs meat

It was very simple to take care of that, but she didn't know how to soothe others.

'Maybe hug?' The Blood Fox liked to hug them here and there, so maybe that's what she would need?

The Umbra Fox gently hugged the Shadow Passion.

Her body stiffened as a defensive reaction, but still feeling the soft hands on her back, she relaxed for the first time in a long time.

...

"She... passed out?" The Umbra Fox tilted her head, surely she didn't do anything bad...?

"But..." The Umbra Fox tilted her head, she would not be able to keep still for as long as the Blood Fox could. That meant it wouldn't have the whole effect...

...

After two hours, the Umbra Fox really could take it and gently caressed the Shadow Passion's cheek to wake her up like she did to Aiko and Blood Fox.

Neither of them was used to waking up early back in the Fox Village, so she had to do this to wake them up and not get kicked or dragged into the bedsheets.

Fortunately, that was no longer the case as both of them were able to wake up early... most of the time...

The Shadow Passion stirred awake and murmured. "Master?"

The Umbra Fox felt quite awkward about this exchange and coughed. "Still me."

The Shadow Passion's hazy eyes immediately cleared and a blush crept on her face. "I-I'm sorry." She apologised for that, since she would hate it if this happened to her.

"It's fine." The Umbra Fox chuckled. "As long as you won't treat me as a sex toy, we can be friends~" She felt bad about the Shadow Passions situation and wanted to help her.

"Thank you." The Shadow Passion gently nodded.

"Okay-Ughargh." The Umbra Fox tried to stand up, to stretch, but she didn't realise that her body was aching so much.

"A-are you alright?" The Shadow Passion was startled.

"I-... am not used to holding one position for long." The Umbra Fox weakly plopped on the ground.

"Erm..." The Shadow Passion didn't know how to say it. "May I help you?"

She knew that the Vicious Cub's team didn't know that she was Demonic Fox, so she hesitated about helping them. Demonic Foxes were feared and scorned, she didn't want to end up like that.

"If you could?" The Umbra Fox breathed out stiffly.

The Shadow Passion came close to the Umbra Fox. She was very versed in stretching and relieving massages since she was ordered by her Master to learn it.

"Uhhhhh." The Umbra Fox felt the Shadow Passion's cold hands and a shiver went down her spine. "Cold..."

"Sorry." The Shadow Passion gently stimulated the stiff and sleeping muscles.

"Mhm..." The Umbra Fox gave out a happy moan.

The Shadow Passion was startled as nothing like this happened before.

"Is it finished?" The Umbra Fox asked.

"N-not yet." This was too different to what she was used to.

She gently relieved the Umbra Fox's muscles, being careful not to be rude.

"Whoa..." The Umbra Fox felt the difference. "I wonder if the Blood Fox felt like that after the Mistress used the Massage Tool on her..."

She had a conversation about 'that' night unwillingly since the Blood Fox was really happy about her upper back and shoulders.

She didn't expect that it would feel so nice.

"Thank you~" The Umbra Fox stood up without much issue, sure she was a bit queasy, but that was only natural. She felt great and that was all that mattered to her.

The Shadow Passion blushed slightly, she was not used to these kinds of words or reactions...
