Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Chapter 262 – The Mirage Fox is finished…

The morning was upon Aiko and she was once again in her Dew Form.

The Blood Fox exchanged glances with Aiko, but Aiko was more interested in the meat being roasted.

It was quite cold for Aiko for some reason, so she shuffled towards the Blood Fox.

The Blood Fox did not pay too much attention to Aiko as she was carefully preparing the meal.

The smell drifted into Aiko's nose. It was a wonderful smell that tickled her taste buds.

Aiko shuffled behind the Blood Fox and stretched her hands towards the meat.

The Blood Fox was startled. Aiko's soft body pressed against her back.

"Aiko, you need to wait..." The Blood Fox breathed steadily. She was quite focused on the meat, so it was fine.

"But I'm hungry and cold." Aiko whined softly. She stretched her hands towards the meat once again, but was slapped by the Blood Fox away.

Aiko pouted and wrapped her hands around the Blood Fox's waist to warm up. She was denied the food, so she would at least steal some of the Blood Fox's warmth.

The Blood Fox gasped as she didn't expect this sudden ambush from Aiko.

"A-Aiko you can't do that!" The Blood Fox stuttered. She was flustered by Aiko's sudden action.

"I'm cold!" Aiko immediately went and put her face into the Blood Fox's crook, rubbing her face on her shoulder and neck.

The Blood Fox gasped again as a sweet scent tickled her nose. This was a distressing situation.

The duo of the Shadow Foxes exchanged looks. Yuxi was not used to this kind of flustered Blood Fox as she was always very calm and stoic.

Yet right now she had moist vivid red eyes, her ears were dropping sideways like she was wronged and with pleading eyes staring at Yuxi.

Wanshu pursed her lips. She didn't understand what the fuss was about until that same sweet scent tickled her nostrils and she immediately took a step back.

Yuxi tilted her head at both of their reactions.

She moved next to the Blood Fox, which was in bad shape, and nudged Aiko gently.

"You won't be able to eat if you won't let go of Blood Fox." Yuxi nudged Aiko again and again until she responded.

"But I'm also cold..." It was hard for Aiko to choose between warmth and food, so she chose neither.

She pounced on Yuxi and rubbed her cheeks with hers. "You are warm too~" Aiko wrapped around Yuxi's body, stealing her warmth.

Wanshu stiffened and glared at Aiko. Meanwhile, the Blood Fox sighed in relief, it was an awful situation for her, but Yuxi solved it masterfully!

The Blood Fox continued cooking while Aiko clung to Yuxi's body.

Unlike the Blood Fox and Wanshu, Yuxi was not a Demonic Fox, so she easily resisted that temptation.

She was still flustered though. Aiko smelled really nice and she was soft too.

Yuxi didn't expect to get body-tackled so soon, so she was enjoying every second of this!

...

The meat was served and Aiko stuck close to the fire, munching on her meat.

Her team sighed in relief that Aiko didn't stick to them while eating too...

Aiko's ears twitched. "What is that buzzing sound?" She tilted her head looking around.

"It's your 'gift' Aiko." Yuxi said with a devilish smile.

"Ah, that one." Aiko nodded in understanding. "Does it work well?"

"It works wonderfully~!" Yuxi hummed, the torture was much better with Aiko's tools and trinkets. The potions were also an amazing addition to Yuxi's arsenal.

At first, Wanshu didn't want to engage in the torture, but she eventually caved in. They teamed up on the Mirage Fox until he was in a completely sorry state.

His eyes popped. His tongue was burned into a crispy piece of meat. His ears were doused with the other potion, causing them to inflate and lose colour, they also bled profusely.

His tiny dick was armed with the male chastity belt and turned on. That looked like a glorious blood fountain.

Wanshu got so much into it that she even carved his chest and poured both potions in there.

Needless to say, the Mirage Fox was a complete twitching mess when they finished. Yuxi was very satisfied with this outcome.

As for Wanshu... she felt strange, strangely weightless. She felt like she would be able to climb any mountain and jump over any tree she wished. It was a strange feeling, but she did not dislike it.

But at the same time, she was more wary of Aiko. Yuxi was very indulgent towards Aiko, more so than she was to her.

This startled Wanshu. She never felt jealous before, but now she was burning with jealousy. She didn't know what to do or how to act. There was not much conversation between her and her former Master.

Yuxi observed Wanshu. She looked all kinds of wrong.

"So it didn't break or anything?" Aiko suddenly asked. She felt that her Inscriptions weren't as powerful as they used to be.

"Everything worked perfectly! Even those 'potions' were a great addition~" Yuxi hummed and she finished her piece of meat before waiting for Wanshu.

"Good." Aiko nodded, now that she was fed and warm, she gazed towards the Blood Fox.

"Please spare me, Mistress." The Blood Fox looked like she was wronged and Aiko paused her steps.

'But I want to sleep again...' Aiko didn't feel tired at all while in this form, but that didn't mean that the temptation of a warm fluffy bed didn't overpower that feeling.

Aiko could only pout at the Blood Fox.

...

Wanshu and Yuxi returned to the Mirage Fox. He looked far from a normal Fox. His ears were now distorted and the middle part of his body was completely burned, looking revolting.

"Is this enough?" Yuxi asked Wanshu.

Wanshu nodded weakly. Her mind was somewhere else.

This time Wanshu was the one who was pushed down. Yuxi was gazing at her tenderly, but Wanshu avoided her gaze.

Yuxi kept staring as a light blush slowly crept from Wanshu's neck onto her face.

"Are we going to talk now?" Yuxi whispered into Wanshu's ears.

Wanshu shivered and she grasped Yuxi's outfit. "I hate it..." She whispered softly.

Yuxi didn't understand what Wanshu meant. "What do you hate?"

"You don't pay enough attention to me!" Wanshu's inner thoughts leaked. "It's Aiko this Aiko that! You cuddled with her and everything!" She cried out suddenly and when she realised that her lips pursed and she looked away.

Yuxi let out a soft giggle. "I can't believe how cute you are when you are jealous~" Yuxi took things lightly to lighten the mood. It was needed so that Wanshu would not pout on her.

"I'm not cu-" Wanshu tried to protest, but her lips were stolen once again. This felt like deja vu...

Yuxi weaselled herself into Wanshu's mouth. Her dexterity was impeccable and she was able to melt Wanshu within moments.

Wanshu squirmed gently under Yuxi's tender care. "I will pay more attention to you once we return to the Fox Village, okay?" Yuxi peppered Wanshu with small kisses.

Wanshu still pouted, but this time it was a playful pout. "Or you can help me take care of Aiko when she acts like that around Blood Fox." Yuxi smiled playfully and Wanshu awkwardly coughed.

"F-fine. I will wait till the Fox Village, but if you neglect me, you know what will-Mhpf." Wanshu tried to play it tough, but Yuxi pacified her with another make-out session.

"We can still cuddle and do 'things' when Aiko is asleep." Yuxi smiled sensually.

Wanshu's heart skipped a beat. "You are a bad influence..." She pouted.

"Should I remind you who was the first one to push me on the ground... twice?" Yuxi smiled playfully.

Wanshu blushed a deep red. "W-well..."

"Shush. Too much talking." Yuxi stole her lips, but soon Wanshu stopped her.

"Not around the corpse... there are better places." Wanshu looked away. She didn't want to upset Yuxi over this, but she also didn't want to make out in the presence of that bastard.

Yuxi somewhat understood what Wanshu meant, so they walked away from the Mirage Fox.

The Mirage Fox was very much still alive. He listened to their conversation, but he no longer felt any anger. He felt empty. His only good toy left him after a few kisses, how ridiculous is that?!

He waited and waited for his demise, but thanks to a certain scent, his body was kept from dying...

...

The next day, Aiko once again turned into the Dew Form. At this point, she was somewhat getting used to it. The most troubling part was the exhaustion that came right after changing back.

It was a strange kind of exhaustion that Aiko didn't understand...

She stood up. The Blood Fox gazed at her warily and Aiko could only shake her head.

It seems that when she was cold she overdid it, but that couldn't be helped, she was freezing!

Her team likewise packed things.

"How is our 'guest'?" Aiko asked Yuxi.

"Taken care of." Yuxi answered briefly.

"And the tools and other things?" Aiko felt a bit sad if they couldn't be used again...

"They are in bad shape and are unusable..." Yuxi shook her head.

"Alright, let's visit him one last time before finishing him off." Aiko sighed. Her toys were not able to stand the torture, how unfortunate...

The group walked towards the Mirage Fox. He was still bound by those strings, lying motionlessly.

It was a very early morning. The sun was barely out and the temperature was cold.

It was a dark and quiet morning in the forest. There were no animals around, not even bugs around.

Aiko came closer to the Mirage Fox. 'They really did a number on him...' Aiko shook her head, but agreed that it was needed.

The space didn't heal enough yet from Aiko's Evolution and the space in front of Aiko was distorted.

The crack formed in the fabric of space, leading to somewhere.

Aiko felt familiar with it, the sense of deja vu was strong with this one. Aiko tilted her head before she kicked him inside.

"That's taken care of." Aiko dusted her shoes. She knew for a fact that Mirage Fox would not be able to return from that place.

"Is that alright, Mistress?" The Blood Fox asked, concerned about Wanshu and Yuxi.

"He is dead, he won't survive what's beyond that crack, as something is lurking in the endless void that was beyond." Aiko shook her head. She did not quite understand her words, but they were the most natural thing for her for some reason.

"We have his stuff and everything, right?" Aiko suddenly asked, it would be bad if she kicked him into that place without stripping him first.

The Blood Fox smiled. "I have secured his things."

"There were a few things on his Soul, but I was not able to retrieve them without destroying them..." Yuxi shook her head sadly. Her [Little Nightmare] was able to damage the Soul, so it was easy for her to strip him, but she was unable to do so without destroying the Treasures.

"Unfortunate..." Aiko shook her head. "Well... let's walk back to Mei~" Aiko hummed, she couldn't wait to show Mei the gifts~!
