Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Li Xiu felt oddly rested and in a better mood than before.

"They are still outside." Captivating Aiko pursed her lips.

"They can wait." Li Xiu replied stiffly and hugged the soft sensation around her body.

Aiko stiffened, since nobody really grabbed her tails like that.

"Those are mine." Aiko was feeling quite strange.

"I'm borrowing them." Li Xiu sniffed them gently before trying to sleep again.

"Does that mean I can do the same~?" Aiko sneakily wrapped her hands around Li Xiu's waist and tightened her embrace.

It didn't take all that much time for Li Xiu to realise what kind of situation she was in.

She immediately weaselled her way out of Aiko's grasp before running out.

"I will give you clothes soon!" And with a blush, she disappeared.

"Let's hope it's soon, or I will try to find more hidden stashes." Aiko nodded to herself.

"Don't you dare!" Li Xiu popped back like her life depended on it.

"Oh!?" Aiko licked her lips.

"Ugh-" Li Xiu groaned at Aiko's mischievous expression. "Just stay still for a bit!"

"Mhm~" For some reason, Li Xiu knew that Aiko wouldn't stay put, but she had to address those bastards outside.

...

After Li Xiu left, Aiko immediately went around snooping. She already found the sexy lingerie that were not easily found around. So there must be even more hidden treasures around.

There were two places where Aiko didn't look. One was under the floor and the second was near the ceiling.

The ceiling was pretty much empty, and not even cobwebs were around. So this time she was looking for the floor.

A few places had a few cavities, but most of them were empty.

However, the last one rewarded her with quite a nice surprise.

"Non-decorated box~?" Aiko licked her lips. Now she was really curious about what was inside.

Opening the box, she found quite the familiar 'tools'. The same tools that she found in that human capital, and what Mei threw away.

"So, this is named a dildo." Aiko picked up the very veiny human-shaped dildo. Another was a small plug.

Li Xiu had quite a collection of different shapes and sizes, but most of them were quite pristine.

"Hehe~" Aiko hummed as she went through them all. The texture was rough, and it didn't seem like it was of high quality, but she shouldn't expect too much.

Most craftsmen would probably not like to create such things, since most of them were male. And since there were fewer females, they would prefer for them to find partners rather than just play with themselves.

Thus, most of these toys were bordering on unsafe to use.

Aiko browsed them with her eyes. She would later make some prototypes for sale.

It was also a good way to earn experience in Forging.

Aiko nodded her head and waited for Li Xiu to come back.

"Seriously." Li Xiu ruffled her hair as she came in, but she stiffened when she saw Aiko with-

"W-what are you doing?!" Li Xiu immediately panicked when she saw Aiko with her hidden stash.

*lick*

"Nothing." Aiko licked one of the tips innocently, making Li Xiu groan and panic even more.

"They are not good for you!" Li Xiu immediately snatched it from Aiko and-

"Wait! Why are you burning it?!" Aiko was shocked that Li Xiu would burn them immediately.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Li Xiu replied blankly as she brushed her hands.

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

"..." Aiko couldn't believe she would play that kind of card.

"Maybe you want me to be your toy~?" Aiko would tease her for ruining those nice experimental props.

"Aiko!" Li Xiu panicked. She went from awfully stressed to awfully embarrassed.

"Don't be shy~, you already touched my tails~" Aiko hummed even more.

"No!" Li Xiu immediately crossed her arms.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Aiko clicked her tongue several times. "I can see your eyes glued to my body~" She posed slightly, making Li Xiu even more flustered.

"I-I will get you your clothes!" And Li Xiu immediately stormed out.

Aiko tilted her head, but she would wait this time. There were no more goodies to find, so she would have to endure it.

...

Li Xiu was faster than Aiko expected.

"That quick?" Aiko raised her eyebrow.

"I just did it quickly. You can use [Clean] on the body, but [Clean] on clothing slightly damages it and lowers its quality, so only truly lazy or wealthy individuals would do that." Li Xiu explained quickly.

Meanwhile, Aiko dressed up in her clothing, wrapping Li Xiu's arm.

"Let's go play go~!" Captivating Aiko mischievously smiled.

"Already?!" Li Xiu was completely speechless.

"Yeah, I have to rob the Sect Leader for the Herbs." Aiko shrugged.

Li Xiu rolled her eyes. "Fine, let's fly."

She took Aiko and flew her onto the familiar Peak.

A new gazebo was built there, and they were already playing Go.

"Let's go~" Captivating Aiko hummed happily.

For some reason, Li Xiu didn't want to show Aiko around, but since she was looking forward to it, she could only shake her head.

"Aiko." First to notice was the familiar Dragoness.

"An~" Aiko hummed and approached her.

Zonghan Qiang immediately choked when he saw this kind of Aiko.

Even the Sect Leader had a hard time looking away.

"You look ravishing~" Zonghan An hummed happily. Aiko turned into quite the nice eye-candy, very pleasing to the eye.

"Let's play Go~" Aiko hummed.

"No undressing or unfair rules." Zonghan An immediately glared at the Sect Leader and her husband.

"I would never." Wu Tao felt a bit awkward, while Zonghan Qiang just avoided her gaze.

"Now, sit, sit~" Zonghan An hummed happily.

"I'm here for more Herbs~" Aiko smiled as she picked the white pieces.

Zonghan An was really tempted to scoop closer and play with Aiko, maybe let her sit on her lap, but she suppressed those emotions.

If she were allowed to touch Aiko, her husband might throw a fit.

When the first game began, the two still underestimated Aiko and lost miserably.

[Go R-2] -> [Go R-3]

Aiko's skill immediately jumped from the middle Mortal Realm to Peak. She might be on par with Immortals with her strategies.

"Moar, hehe~" Aiko chuckled as she collected the Herbs.

Wu Tao narrowed his eyes and played seriously.

...

It ended in 21/0, of course, Aiko was the 21.

She harvested most of the poisonous Herbs on the Peak, since she cunningly, but still discreetly, roasted their egos. This caused them to make bigger promises over time.

"In a week, the reward should be prepared for you." Wu Tao changed the topic, since he couldn't believe he lost so miserably.

"Thank you~" Aiko smiled happily. She would visit the puppies after this.

[Congratulations! You have become a professional Go player!]

Sub-Profession: [Go Apprentice (Peak)]

'Oh! New profession~!" Aiko smiled happily. She would have to challenge them more later so she could rank this up faster.

'I should max the others out too.' Aiko pondered on it.

Alchemy would be with Mei. Inscription could be done through the gifts. Assassination was meh. Smithing would go along with Forging. Heavenly fingers, hehe, she would have to wait for Mei. Divine Calligraphy might be possible with Inscriptions. Painting was just a pastime, so it was difficult to say if it could be mastered.

There was also that needle technique that Aiko used only once or so.

'I'm not really keen on healing others.' Aiko shook her head.

"Can I go?" Aiko asked An.

"Why couldn't you go?" Zonghan An rubbed her face into Aiko's side.

"Because you are hugging me. Let me go." Aiko rolled her eyes.

"No." Aiko smelled too good for Zonghan An to let her go. She would rub her face on Aiko for a few more hours!

"My apologies." Zonghan Qiang apprehended his wife and let Aiko go. He stood up, almost toppling the table over.

Zonghan Qiang awkwardly coughed and blushed. His raging tent could no longer be suppressed, and it would be bad if he stayed here any longer.

"I will see you later." And he immediately ran away with his wife.

"No! I want to hug Aiko mooooore-" Zonghan An's voice drifted into nothingness.

Certain rumours later spread, where a certain couple almost destroyed half of the mountain during the nights, but nobody was sure why it happened...

...

Aiko was finishing things in this place as it was time for another adventure, but she was missing the cool sensation from a certain place.

*snort*

The mother Beast snorted at Aiko. It was not a bad snort, but she really didn't want to express herself.

"We are happy to see you again.' The father smiled gently. He was happy that there was one more person to handle the young ones.

His young ones were no longer in any danger as their bodies were tempered greatly by her, which he appreciated greatly.

"Don't mind it, don't mind it." Captivating Aiko shifted her form. "Let's play~" Sun Aiko came out in full force, almost vaporising the whole building.

*Awoooo*

The young ones were already familiar with this heat, so they greeted the Fox with a tackle.

Sun Fox Aiko didn't mind and immediately brawled with them.

"They are so lively..." The mother still had to feed her young, so she was almost always tired.

"Don't you feel energised just by staying near her~?" The father teased his wife.

"Don't tease me, or we will create more young ones." The mother teased him back.

"That would be troubling..." The father sweated. He already couldn't keep up with his young ones, but if there were more.

"Please, don't..." He obediently pleaded with his wife.

"..." The mother was quite shocked that her husband was like that.

"Awoooo." Sun Fox Aiko tried to mimic their cute roars.

*Awoooo*

They roared back, and the temperature dropped.

Sun Fox Aiko raised her eyebrow. "Challenging me, hm!?" She proudly stood and- "Awoooo."

The temperature rose sharply.

*Awoooo*

The temperature dropped sharply.

"This..." The mother was even more speechless.

"Less work for us, you should be happy." The young ones were now learning how to properly control their freezing powers.

"..." The more the mother watched, the more insane it became, especially since.

*Awoooo*

"Why are you joining them?!" The mother couldn't believe that her husband would join the brawl between the young ones.

"Because it's fun?" The father tilted his head.

"-... Whatever." The mother rolled her eyes. If you can't beat them, just-

*Awoooo*

Join them...
