Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

”Why didn’t you tell her that her clothes are ripped?” Moon Aiko suddenly nudged Mei.

”...” Mei controlled her thoughts so that Dai Lu wouldn’t figure it out.

”Let’s call it a small revenge.” Mei stuck out her tongue mischievously.

”Aren’t you worried that Dai Lu will get upset?” Moon Aiko raised her eyebrow.

”It’s her fault for not listening to your thoughts.” Mei shrugged. This was not her fault that Dai Lu was blind...

-----

”Oi! Old man!” Dai Lu crashed onto a familiar mountain.

It was the mountain of the Grandmaster from the Southern Sect.

Dai Lu knew this place quite well, so she immediately barged into his home.

While their relationship was quite bumpy, they were still good drinking buddies, so she was unwilling to miss on some good booze!

”Old man!” Dai Lu burst through the doors spotting him.

He was currently sipping a warm wine and having a good time, but when he looked over, he sprayed that wine into his face and into the surrounding area.

”?” Dai Lu was confused why he was suddenly aroused.

”Damn! Have you lost all shame since you are young again?!” He angrily roared as he covered his eyes and blush on his face. ”Wear some clothes, vixen!”

Dai Lu stilled for a moment and looked down.

”What the fuck?!” Her clothes were ripped, but since Mei didn’t have any kind of reaction inside her mind-

’Ah, so that’s why Aiko was thinking those things...’ Dai Lu wanted to facepalm for ignoring such an obvious set-up.

”Let me borrow your clothes, mine won’t fit.” Dai Lu was completely shameless and barged deeper in.

”Hey! Are you trying to ruin me?!” The Grandmaster almost fainted when he heard her words.

”Don’t worry about it. I won’t judge your kinks. Don’t think I don’t know that you were always staring at my ass!” Dai Lu immediately accused him, since she knew about his inclinations.

”Oi! We were young!” The Grandmaster tried to defend himself, but she was not believing him.

”So then is there a reason why you are still keeping my panties that you stole when I was bathing?” Dai Lu whirled her old underwear around her finger without any shame.

”A souvenir! I had no idea that it’s yours!” He tried to retort but...

”At least make it more difficult. If you think about something else I won’t be able to read you.” Dai Lu stuck out her tongue before finding a large shirt.

”Ugh...” He groaned unhappily. His youthful vigour was returning to him thanks to this damned vixen!

Of course, even if he cursed her in his mind, he didn’t mean any of it, since they were good friends.

”This will do.” Dai Lu hid behind the wall and threw her old clothes aside.

”This is not a garbage bin!” He protested, but he didn’t mind as much. He knew that she was happy now that she was healed, so he wouldn’t make things difficult for her.

”You can sniff it later, or just throw it away.” Dai Lu waved her hand from behind the wall.

*Pffft*

And as always, wine flew everywhere, since he was not quite used to her personality.

Well, he was never used to her and that’s why it was so hard to approach her. He liked her calm personality more, but this lively one was her natural one and he would respect it.

What he would not respect were the constant jabs that reduced his lifespan!

”You are seriously trying to kill me!” The Grandmaster shouted at her.

”Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I will slip some western stockings in.” Dai Lu waved her hand again, but this time she had an obvious white sleeve around her hand.

”Alright, this is nice.” Dai Lu walked from behind the wall.

*Pffft*

Another fountain of red, but this time it was not wine.

”You are really trying to kill me!” He was angry, and kept shouting with closed eyes, since that was the best defence against this shameless vixen.

”It’s not like you minded this before.” Dai Lu shrugged.

She knew about him, but since they were buddies she was more open about him.

”Now, gimme wine~” And as always, Aikoness was contagious, so even Dai Lu was infected...

”And now you are trying to rob me...” The Grandmaster sighed, but he would indulge her.

He wronged her before, so this was the least he could do to make up for it.

”We will be leaving at the end of this year.” Dai Lu suddenly voiced that she was leaving.

His hands momentarily stilled before he finished pouring the warm wine.

”I see...” He was silent, only sipping wine with her.

This silence was not awkward.

He pursed his lips a few times, before he asked a question. ”Do you intend to visit the mainland?”

”En.” Dai Lu replied briefly. Some images flashed inside his mind, startling her.

”Here.” He handed over some papers.

”The state of the Fox Sect?” Dai Lu’s words were stiff. It was obvious that she didn’t have a good opinion about that place.

”En.” He nodded his head. ”I also contacted the Beast Sect and made some arrangements, but now it seems useless.”

He already realised that she was much stronger than before, so there would be no problem in getting a place inside the Beast Sect, even if the Foxes are the weakest race.

”The continental flying ship is fixed, so you can get it.” Dai Lu wanted to repay him at least a little bit for this information.

”Once you return, I will go with you and take it with me.” He nodded his head slowly. It was obvious that he didn’t want to part with her, since her presence meant a lot of him.

But he also had to move on, battle it out against his frail heart and strengthen it for the future.

”Sure.” Dai Lu didn’t mind, since she enjoyed his company before.

”You are still good at making wine, but there is not as much Cloud Dew Wine...” Dai Lu licked her lips. She would seduce a few bottles out of him, but since he didn’t have a large quantity, she gave up.

”Since one bastard blocked clouds from forming.” The Grandmaster almost broke the cup when he thought about that stupid swine, but nothing he could do about it, since he was not versed in Arrays.

”Can’t be helped. I will invite you later for some drinks.” Dai Lu licked her fingers, since some of that wine got on her hands.

*Pfft*

He tried looking at her, in order to enjoy a few moments with her, but that shameless-!

”Can’t you sit normally?! You know I’m already old! You WILL kill me at this pace!” He groaned unhappily. It seemed like he would have to keep his eyes closed for the time being

That was because of the way Dai Lu was sitting.

One of her legs tugged between her peaks and another on the side, revealing everything that was under her belly.

”It’s not like you didn’t see me naked before. If you truly mind it, then gimme a few bottles and I will sit properly.” Dai Lu giggled. This was so like him. He was always shy when she did something like this, unlike those other guys.

That was also why she liked to tease him often, although she didn’t do that for a long time now...

”Fine, fine! Just sit properly dammit!” He cried out like someone was kicking him into the balls.

”You were never this shy before.” Dai Lu laughed at him.

”You are a seriously shameless vixen.” He grumbled, but still handed her a bottle of Cloud Dew Wine.

”Ah~” Dai Lu moaned, since she missed the taste of his wine.

”Don’t make such sounds, or you won’t get any more in the future!” He threatened her, but she kept rubbing her cheeks on the bottle.

”I was so looking forward to this, thank you~” She hummed happily, making him even more embarrassed.

He crumbled under his breath before he drank another cup.

”I thought you would drink it immediately.” He was startled that she didn’t open the bottle immediately.

”How much time do you have?” Dai Lu changed the topic immediately.

”A few dozen, maybe hundred of years, depending on how many fights I will have to fight.” The Grandmaster pondered on it, but that was about as accurate as he could get.

”Here.” Dai Lu pulled out the smelly Pills, but since they recovered a lot of Vitality, it would extend his lifespan, or rather recover the lifespan that he lost from battles.

”Do you want to torture me...?” The Grandmaster just took one whiff and he already wanted to burn it!

”It helped me a lot...” Dai Lu knew she wouldn’t eat it considering the smell, but she didn’t want to lose him just yet.

”Since you want to keep me alive, what is the plan?” The Grandmaster took one Pill into his mouth. It tasted even worse than it smelled, but the Pill’s warmth spread throughout his body, making him slightly more lively.

”This is good stuff...” If it was not for the smell, it would be the greatest Pill that he ever ate!

”I know, right?” Dai Lu giggled. ”But about the plan...” She smiled gently. ”We made a promise that we would ascend together.”

”True, we all made that promise...” The Grandmaster nodded his head, but then he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

”And we can’t let them ascend before us. It would be best if we could cripple them and disperse their Souls.” Dai Lu chuckled sinisterly and with her narrowed eyes, she had quite the dangerous air around her.

He was momentarily stunned, but he understood her rage.

One weakened her, another damaged her weapon, while the last one cut her tails.

There was one another that ignored her, but he still regrets it to this day. If he was not such a fanatic for swordsmanship, maybe things would turn differently...

”So you want my help?” The Grandmaster didn’t mind helping her.

”Not really.” Dai Lu said that openly, since she knew that he had his own problems.

”I can deal with them, maybe not immediately, but I will.” Dai Lu shrugged, she was ready to wipe them out one day!

”?” He was confused. ”Wait, just because of that promise you are giving me this?”

”Isn’t that obvious?” Dai Lu tilted her head. She would always fulfil her promises, since she would be able to not only grow stronger, but maintain a strong heart.

”...” The Grandmaster was stunned. For the first time he was not flustered when he looked at her.

Sure, she was still as shameless as ever, but this time there was something different.

”This is definitely how Aiko feels...” Dai Lu murmured under her breath.

The Grandmaster coughed awkwardly.

”Go, go, don’t look at me.” Dai Lu rolled her eyes. She noticed that some of his Heart Demons were weakening, so we will probably challenge them soon...
