Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Yanqi covered her chest, embarrassed about her current disposition.

Aiko crossed her arms. "That's what it means to be naughty!"

Yanqi pouted. "But everyone loves my chest..."

"Only perverts do!" Aiko proclaimed. "Like that one!"

She pointed at Chen Shi and he snapped out of his daze to glare at that brat.

"I'm not a pervert!" Chen Shi defended himself.

"Tell me that again once you recover that lost blood, pervert!" Aiko scoffed at him.

Chen Shi glared at her, but she ignored him.

"And you! Stop bothering people with your tits!" Aiko accused the Bird Lady.

"I'm not doing that!" Yanqi yelled, she was embarrassed and wronged.

"You just did it!" Aiko pouted, ready to pounce on her to prove her point.

Yanqi sniffled and went away to fix her clothes.

"Hmpf." Aiko snorted at Chen Shi. "And you should control your urges; you almost lifted the whole table with your boner!"

"I did not!" Chen Shi feigned ignorance.

"You are not convincing, pervert!" Aiko clicked her tongue, was everyone really that shameless and horny?! Was she the only one normal?!

...

Yanqi returned, her clothes were fixed and they were a lot firmer, not revealing as much.

"That was not hard, right?" Aiko huffed and the Bird Lady pouted.

Yanqi sat down, but she had no intention of picking the little Fox up. She didn't want to repeat that event... although she was happy that Chen Shi reacted to her.

Aiko sat down on the stone chair, but only part of her head poked above the table.

"They can't even make chairs properly." Aiko clicked her tongue.

"Maybe you should grow up." Chen Shi took a jab at Aiko's height and calmly sipped his tea.

"Says someone that almost poked a hole into the table." Aiko snorted.

"I did not!" Chen Shi glared at her.

"I'm sorry, table lifter." Aiko rolled her eyes.

Chen Shi slammed the cup on the table. "Why are you still here?!"

"So that you two won't fuck in the presence of our pure Lady Liu." Aiko crossed her arms.

Yanqi giggled. 'A little late for that~' She already went at it with Lady Liu, so she couldn't be considered all that pure~.

"And you will be guarding us~?" Yanqi teased Aiko, petting her head.

"Until I come up with a gift for Lady Liu." Aiko nodded, completely serious.

Yanqi giggled at that display, but she had to say that Aiko had some lovely hair.

"Then if I help you with the gift, will you give it to Lady Liu?" Yanqi smirked.

"If I like it, yeah." Aiko nodded. "But to think you would sacrifice your time with me, just so you could jump at him." Aiko shook her head with a judgmental look.

"He has to take responsibility for me~" Yanqi giggled.

Aiko turned towards Chen Shi. "Womaniser."

"You brat!" He slapped the table, making an imprint of his palm on it.

Aiko shook her head disapprovingly. "Gunning after so many beauties when you have Lady Liu- No wait, she isn't even yours." Aiko chuckled.

*Slap*

-50,000HP

Aiko was blasted through the air and it took her a while to recover.

"Auch." She massaged her cheek while still in the air. "What am I going to do now...?"

Aiko was free-falling down. She didn't have any Abilities that would give flight.

Aiko did have her double jump Skill, but that had to be timed properly.

...

{Back with Chen Shi and Yanqi}

"Was that necessary? She isn't wrong." Yanqi cast a judgmental look at him.

"She is a brat, she needs to learn some etiquette." Chen Shi said seriously, without a shred of embarrassment for slapping Aiko.

Yanqi sighed. "You would not be a good parent."

"I don't have to be. I don't intend to have kids, not to mention most Cultivators can't have kids." Chen Shi shrugged.

Yanqi clicked her tongue. It was a good thing Chen Shi was ignorant.

"Most children would say what's on their mind. Especially Beasts which have no upbringing." Yanqi shook her head.

"So what?" Chen Shi snorted. "Am I supposed to ignore her constant taunts?"

"Then tell me why she was nice to me?" Yanqi asked him. "Sure, she turned mean, but that was because she didn't like someone, so I think that's a 'you' issue." Yanqi sighed.

"How the hell is that nice?! And she was mean the first time we met!" Chen Shi proclaimed.

"I call bull on that one." Yanqi didn't believe him.

Aiko was very likeable and cute when not agitated, but everyone would turn like that if they were agitated. Well... they would mostly try to kill you and not just badmouth you, so Aiko could be considered a rarity in this kind of thing...

Chen Shi snorted and no longer said anything.

Yanqi stood up, surprising him.

"What?" Yanqi cast him a reproachful gaze.

"What are you doing?" Chen Shi questioned her, since he was not done with her just yet.

"Catching a falling Fox." Yanqi shrugged and disappeared.

...

{Back to Aiko falling}

"I don't like timing things..." Aiko sighed.

"Why not?"

A voice popped next to her.

"Gah!" Aiko rolled in mid-air from her shock.

Yanqi giggled. "I have come to pick you up."

Before Aiko could say that she didn't need it, she was picked like a child and they disappeared from that place.

They popped back before that familiar table.

"Geh, you again." Aiko recoiled the moment she saw Chen Shi.

Chen Shi frowned, seeing no visible damage on her. 'Must be that weird transformation...' He shook his head.

Aiko scoffed at him.

Yanqi sat down with Aiko, but this time instead of sandwiching her with her boobs, she just let Aiko sit on the side of her lap.

Aiko didn't mind that oversized left breast threatening her vision as long as it didn't try to squish her.

"What am I doing here?" Aiko asked.

"That's my line." Chen Shi snorted.

"Oh shut up you pervert." Aiko rolled her eyes.

"She is here to receive a gift for Lady Liu." Yanqi chuckled.

Chen Shi had a bad feeling about this whole thing...

"Tada~" Yanqi produced a strange device from her ring.

"You have got to be kidding..." Chen Shi didn't believe what she pulled out.

Aiko took it into her hand. It was a strange stick with separate smaller parts.

"If you press this Rune." Yanqi demonstrated and the head started to vibrate.

"It's the perfect gift for Liu Zhi~" Yanqi smirked and giggled.

Chen Shi. "You can't take that and make it into a gift."

"I can." Aiko nodded. "I was thinking about giving Lady Liu a Massage Chair, so this is a perfect substitute." Aiko smiled.

"Thank you, Bird Lady." Aiko beamed a smile towards the Bird Lady.

Yanqi blushed. Aiko was incredibly cute while smiling. "You are welcome~" She gently pinched Aiko's cheek. She didn't have any strength to tell Aiko that it was a sex toy...

"You really can't give Lady Liu that..." Chen Shi frowned.

"If I add a spin and twist to it, it will relieve your muscles quite well." Aiko blankly stared at him. What was his problem?

Chen Shi choked at that stare. "I'm telling you the truth. You really can't give her that."

"You are just jealous that she would get such a nice gift~" Yanqi giggled, backing up Aiko.

"That's right... He is always like that." Aiko nodded in agreement.

"I'm not jealous!" He ruffled his hair. "Now that you have that 'gift' can you finally go away?"

"But I like it here." Aiko answered the fuming Chen Shi.

Chen Shi almost popped a vein.

"Fine." Aiko pouted.

She stood up with her gift and placed it into her [Storage Ring].

"Thank you, Bird Lady." Aiko waved with her hand, but her tails followed along.

Aiko left the courtyard, leaving those two behind.

"Seriously..." Yanqi shook her head. "How can you hate such a cutie."

"She almost destroyed my ship and..." Chen Shi spilt his gripes with that brat.

"So... in other words, she was young and caused trouble that can be easily fixed." Yanqi summed it up. "Not to mention that she is much cuter than you are and that's why Liu Zhi pays less attention to you and you act like a pouty child who doesn't get enough attention."

"I'm not a pouty child!" Chen Shi retorted.

"You are just a lovestruck pervert." Yanqi nodded slowly.

"I'm not a pervert!" Chen Shi had enough and stood up. "Steer clear from Lady Liu, she needs rest!"

"And that's why you are going to bother her now?" Yanqi rolled her eyes.

Chen Shi stiffened. "No." He left without saying more.

"Seriously..." Yanqi shook her head. "Poor Liu Zhi is troubled by two troublemakers." Yanqi chuckled and finished her tea.

"But I will have to do something about the fact he hates children..." Yanqi sighed before leaving.

...

{Aiko on the way back to the courtyard}

Aiko was moving along in the shadows. This was her habit by now, since she knew that she would be able to easily observe others if she didn't stay out in the open.

It was a fun time.

Aiko arrived at their courtyard. The Blood Fox was calmly drinking tea.

Aiko thought that her team was very reliable, but she could not see the Umbra Fox.

Aiko came close to the Blood Fox and asked her. "Where is Umbra Fox?"

The Blood Fox flinched, not expecting Aiko to come back so soon.

*Buzz Buzz*

"Hm?" Aiko tilted her head. "Buzz?"

The Blood Fox blushed. "Umbra Fox is in her room sharpening her tools or resting."

'The Blood Fox looks slightly drunk...' Aiko kept tilting her head. "Okay, I will work on my gift for Lady Liu in my room."

Aiko patted her shoulder.

*Buzz Buzz Buzz*

"Mhm." The Blood Fox left a barely audible moan.

"Is something wrong with you?" Aiko heard the buzzing sound again, but she ignored everything else.

"It's nothing. I feel a bit cranky from sleeping on those beds." The Blood Fox made up a lie.

"I can relate to that feeling." Aiko stretched her arms, but she could still feel being quite stiff, or maybe that was from that slap.

Aiko stroked her cheek. It didn't burn or anything, but it still cost her half of her HP.

'I should learn how to slap like that since it seems very useful~' Aiko hummed gently walking into her room.

The Blood Fox sighed in relief before her body spasmed.

"Uffff..." The Blood Fox breathed loudly. "That was a close one."

'But also very exciting...' The Blood Fox blushed at that thought.

"What was close?" Aiko popped her head from her room.

"N-nothing!" The Blood Fox stuttered.

Aiko narrowed her eyes. "Suspicious." Before slowly closing the doors with her eyes still staring at the Blood Fox.
