Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Aiko was pouting the whole way and was carried by the Blood Fox.

Sometimes her small Fox form was quite useful, if not for those huge mountains pressing on her.

But because the Blood Fox was skilled in scratching Aiko behind her ears, Aiko with her endless compassionate personality forgave those huge mountains this time!

Aiko would just lay down and be carried outside.

The Shadow Passion was chatting with Umbra Fox some way away and the Fatty was spotted somewhere even further away.

The Blood Fox led the group around. None of them cared if they were lost or not. What mattered to them was that they would not separate.

They could not find Mirage Fox which was for the better. They all had a sense of uneasiness from meeting him before.

The Shadow Passion was trying to hint at the fact that he was not good, but most of them shrugged.

It was Aiko's responsibility to attach a threat level to him, but she just said she would take care of him once they encountered him.

The Gluttonous Fox was distressed. He wanted to prove the 'innocence' of his Master. He missed the nights when he could peek at the moaning Shadow Passion...

The rest of the group pushed on subconsciously backwards and he felt... excluded.

...

{In the centre of labyrinth}

"It's not a good idea to battle them in close spaces." Said the Mirage Fox, still buried deep into her body.

"Can you stop fucking my body if you want to make plans?!" The Female Ghost was livid, but there was nothing she could do thanks to his Divine Ability.

"Mmmmm." The Mirage Fox climaxed once again. "Let them leave this place and we will ambush them at night when you are at your strongest."

"You dumb..." The Female Ghost was completely speechless, but obeyed.

...

{Outside of the inheritance grounds}

"It was strangely simple getting outside." The Blood Fox murmured.

Aiko felt the same. She didn't get enough scratches behind her head, so she was upset that they figured their way out so soon...

The Blood Fox resumed her scratching before saying to Umbra.

"We will be moving from here immediately. There is no need to wait for Mirage Fox." The Blood Fox said.

"We can wait for him some ways away." Aiko protested and jumped down.

She still wished to use his traits to level up her [Soul Palace].

It was a greedy move from her, but Aiko felt much safer with more space inside. It was a simple hunch...

Her team frowned, they didn't feel all that good about it.

"I will deal with him." Said Aiko once again before picking up the Soul Wood that she hid nearby.

She transformed into her Human form, since carrying this thing was bothersome.

"Why can't you get inside the Lamp, so I can store the wood inside my Storage Ring?!" Aiko smacked the wood.

Slave 1 sobbed, but he had already explained his reasoning so many times that it hurt his pride. He was also worried about the fact that the Ghost Lady was far more powerful.

Aiko smacked it one more time before putting it on her back. Her tails would keep it in place for now and she would later tie it on her back again.

She was even able to hide it inside her tails, but she only did that while fighting.

It didn't feel good to have foreign things inside her tails...

...

The night fell. Her team was still, no matter what Aiko did, they didn't feel good about the Mirage Fox.

"It will be fiiine~" Aiko munched on a piece of meat as her ears twitched happily.

Her team did not think so.

...

The bushes rustled and the Mirage Fox appeared from them.

Aiko's team had repulsive feelings towards him almost immediately...

...

{Mirage Fox's POV}

The Mirage Fox left the labyrinth and waited for the night from a great distance. He felt a sense of danger each time the Vicious Cub twitched her ears, but that was just impossible!

He was so far away, there was no way that he was discovered!

Once night fell, he approached the camp conspicuously so as not to raise suspicion.

The Mirage Fox could see the Umbra Fox and Passion Fox staring at him warily. It would be a lot harder to woo them, but that was not the case for the Vicious Cub.

She didn't care much about him.

'Do it now and possess her!' The Mirage Fox commanded.

'I don't want to be so small and pitiful! Give me the body of the red Fox!' The Female Ghost protested.

The Mirage Fox discreetly rolled his eyes. 'If we can get the small one we will get all of them.'

'...' The Female Ghost didn't believe him.

She immediately went underground so she wouldn't be spotted by the other Foxes.

She approached Aiko and sneaked inside her.

What greeted her was a humongous sleeping beast that just awakened since she forcefully intruded.

The Female Ghost shivered as the black beast's eyes twinkled.

A new toy! The black beast thought, happiness filled the beasts whole being and insurmountable darkness filled this whole place.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" The Female Ghost screamed until she was buried under the beast's fluffy, soft paws.

The beast would roll her, play catch with her. Finally, the beast had something that could entertain the beast...

The Mirage Fox stiffened as he noticed the fact that the control over the Female Ghost had vanished.

The Vicious Cub stared at him up and down.

...

{Back to Aiko}

"You smell." Aiko spat at him. "Go out with the trash and wash it if you want to sleep anywhere near us." She was already bothered by the Shadow Passion enough, she didn't need another bothersome smelly person.

The Mirage Fox choked and glared at the Vicious Cub. He really wanted to use his Divine Ability on her, but he was currently suffering backlash from losing the connection with the Female Ghost.

Aiko shook her head at him. "Should I kick you away." Her hair was slowly colouring black and her eyes were slowly turning red.

The Mirage Fox heard about this phenomenon, but when he could observe it so closely-

*Slam*

Aiko's small feet slammed into his face before he could reach and he was blasted away.

Aiko landed on her feet and shouted. "Don't forget to bathe the garbage before coming back!"

Her team was rendered speechless, but they did feel better. The oppressive nature of the Mirage Fox was just not there any more?

They didn't understand what happened, but this was definitely a good thing.

Aiko hmpfed when she smelled the Shadow Passion, but since the Umbra Fox was playing cute... well she would be a good leader and indulge her for a bit!

Aiko went back to eating until she ate her portion. She then went towards the Blood Fox with 'puppy' eyes.

The Blood Fox rolled her eyes as Aiko didn't like asking about the permission and would rather play cute.

"Fine." The Blood Fox pouted like she was hesitant.

This was a common occurrence that warmed her team's heart. They would indulge Aiko here and there.

The Mirage Fox's team was always confused about what they were playing since they were unable to see what was actually happening...

Aiko's eyes brightened and she jumped above the Blood Fox's tails. She transformed midway and a small Fox plopped on the tails.

The Mirage Fox's team was confused...

Aiko started to sink into the tails until she could no longer be seen.

The Shadow Passion paused. She had never seen such a fluffy tail.

She gently and discreetly glanced at Umbra's tail, but as the Umbra Fox was also a Shadow Fox; she quickly gazed at the Shadow Passion.

The Shadow Passion blushed and looked away. She didn't think she would be caught so easily.

The night was quite harmonious for everyone, everyone except the Mirage Fox.

...

He was kicked into mud that was mixed with faeces. He smelled awful and had to find an actual pond to clean.

The Mirage Fox obviously did not forget to enjoy his new servants body whilst cleaning her. The fluids were sticky and dry on her body which lessened her appeal.

He could not have that, so after cleaning their bodies; he would bang her repeatedly throughout the whole night...

...

Morning came and Aiko's team immediately embarked, since the Shadow Passion was not commanded to wait, she rushed with Umbra.

The Shadow Passion already made plans to poach the Umbra Fox for herself.

The voices inside her head were quiet and gentle, only assisting her in her goals and nothing else.

She was confused about this sudden change. She only slept next to the Umbra Fox and this is what happened.

The Shadow Passion's obsession with Umbra grew day by day.

The Umbra Fox was mostly oblivious to her desire, but didn't reject her approaches and kinship.

This even more fuelled the desire to possess Umbra just for herself.

...

Aiko spotted a strange Human group. She rubbed her hands like a thief and sneaked around.

The rest of her team was still far back, so this was a great opportunity to enjoy herself while others didn't want to.

Aiko stealthily made her way towards the group. They had only Storage Pouches, but that was fine by her.

She was almost right next to them when she heard.

"I will confess to my Senior Sister."

The others looked at him with envy.

"Don't be like that, I will share some 'things' with you." He nudged them.

Meanwhile, Aiko was grabbing their Storage Pouches.

The Forest rustled and they looked forward.

A small child with fox ears was next to them with extended hands towards the last Storage Pouch.

She was incredibly adorable and one would feel the need to caress her silky hair.

The small child had adorable yet large, light-blue eyes.

She looked stiff.

Aiko exchanged glances between them and their last Storage Pouch.

Meanwhile, her team arrived at this scene and hid behind the trees. They pursed their lips and massaged their temples. Aiko was once again causing trouble...

Aiko snatched the last Storage Pouch before they could properly react.

"Hehehehe~" She scurried into the shrubs and the male Cultivators finally snapped out of it.

"Chase after her." The lovestruck fool that wanted to confess suddenly yelled. He was not concerned about the Storage Pouch as they were wealthy, but he couldn't give up what was inside!

"Hehehehe~" Aiko was laughing since she knew that they couldn't catch her with their speed even if she was in her pseudo-Human form.
