Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

”At this rate we are going to be forgotten...” Yuxi sniffled gently. She was looking at Aiko enjoying her time with others, but...

”We are much weaker than others, but we have our own strengths. It’s unlikely that Mei would be able to sneak somewhere secure and that’s where we come in.” Wanshu comforted her partner, since she knew how much this meant for her.

”I know... but seeing Aiko do so many crazy things without us is making me sad...” Yuxi wanted to follow Aiko around, but with their current strengths that was unlikely to happen.

”We will have our chances, don’t worry.” Wanshu giggled.

”How can you say that when you look at her enjoying herself like that.” Needless to say, Yuxi was quite jealous.

”Then, would you like to come over?” Wanshu suggested, since she knew that Yuxi would definitely like that.

”I don’t feel like there is room for us though...” Yuxi pursed her lips.

”Am I hearing the grief of a young girl?” The Seer popped out of nowhere, startling both of them.

Yuxi pulled Wanshu closed and whispered. ”Did you feel her?”

”Not at all.” Both of them glared at the Seer, since this was a strange situation.

”Don’t be like that, I have come to divine your fate!” The Seer chuckled.

”This is a scam.” Yuxi snorted unhappily and Wanshu just nodded along.

”W-wait, just hear me out please!” The Seer sniffled.

”You just want to watch us have sex again.” Wanshu rolled her eyes. She was trying to scare the Seer away, but...

”Eh-? How did y- N-no! I’m not looking forward to that- I have never seen anything!” The Seer stuttered like crazy and her thoughts and speech got mixed up. These two were the most interesting Foxes inside the former Fox Village.

A damsel that just wished to explore her limits and a poor girl that wanted to find love...

The Twins immediately stared at her like she was guilty of treason.

”...” The Seer was trying to think of an excuse that would justify her behaviour, but she was not as witty as Aiko, nor as shameless as Mei...

”From what I gathered, when someone is trying to divine Aiko’s fate, they are unable to do so. Isn’t that the same with us?” Wanshu gathered that anyone affiliated with Aiko would have their fate change so much and so abruptly that it was pointless to make any predictions.

”That might be right, but I’m also part of the team!” The Seer’s nose turned pointy, as if she was trying to stroke her own ego.

”...” The Twins were not impressed.

”So you will join us during the nights~?” Wanshu teased the Seer, since she heard some rumours about her.

”That’s-” The Seer immediately turned red and it took her a while before she nodded her head furiously.

The Twins were startled, but they weren’t really keen on inviting another person, outside Aiko, into their intimate time.

”I-I have a lot of toys!” The Seer said seriously.

”Go on.” Yuxi immediately sharpened her gaze. Wanshu was quite hard to satisfy, so toys were a necessity and while Aiko created something nice for them, they would both be exhausted by it and the overwhelming pleasure they got from it might ruin them if they use it too often.

As such this kind of ’deal’ was perfect for them.

Wanshu sadly sighed. She knew about her body better than her partner and she was sad that her body would always act like that.

But even then she would listen to Yuxi’s wishes to the best of her abilities, even if it meant holding it in!

”I have gathered those that you don’t have so you can test them.” The Seer said seriously, but she had no experience outside of watching, so it was difficult to say that she knew what would be nice and what wouldn’t.

And this was also the fault of the lustful Foxes. They praised the sex so much that the Seer was overly sensitive about this topic and wanted to experience it herself.

”Let’s go over to Aiko first.” Yuxi wanted to invite Aiko for this, but she was too scared of Mei to say it out loud.

”What’s up?” Moon Aiko seemed unaffected by everything around her, mostly because she was working on something new.

”We would like to use ’that’ with someone else. Is it possible?” Yuxi asked softly, but she could already feel the sharp gaze on her back.

Judging the distance and angle, that was definitely Mei.

Wanshu caressed Yuxi’s back to keep her calm.

Moon Aiko glanced between them and then towards the overly cheerful and expectant Seer.

”I understand...” Moon Aiko haughtily smirked, making them blush.

”While those are created just for you, if you don’t mind sharing then you just have to use the ’connection’ Treasure to make it work.” Moon Aiko gestured before pausing. She should create some kind of Treasure for Mei too, so that she can discreetly tease her!

That idea came from Witch Aiko, but even Moon Aiko liked it. This would allow her to bully Mei if Aiko was ever bullied by her!

”Just that?” The Twins were startled that it was so easy. They expected something more elaborate and difficult.

”I made it easy to use, since you won’t have much time or attention to do anything elaborate during your private time.” Moon Aiko rolled her eyes. She was never known for carefully speaking and it showed.

The Twins blushed. It was true that once they found a hiding spot they would ignore everything, but so far that was not an issue!

The Twins hummed walking away with the Seer hand in hand...

....

”Are you really not interested in your divinations?” The Seer was slightly startled.

”Even if you tell us, nothing will really change for us.” Yuxi tilted her head.

”We will still follow Aiko, even if it means death.” Wanshu said seriously.

”Yeah, we are powerful and have a second chance at life, so we will exchange this life for Aiko’s comfort.” Yuxi nodded her head alongside Wanshu.

”That’s... so extreme.” The Seer only half believed her own words, since she already saw what would happen in the future.

’The Shadow Corps...’ The Seer was curious about the Twins thanks to this, since every person around Aiko would become a bigshot. A bit lustful bigshot, but still bigshot!

”I wouldn’t say so... Aiko changed a lot of things...” Yuxi shook her head.

”Ah...” The Seer understood where they were coming from. She was also saved by Aiko, and so were many others, making her the target of both adoration and insanity.

She even had her own cult trying to worship that chaos, without Aiko knowing.

The Seer chose to remain silent. The future was ever-changing with Aiko, so it would be pointless saying anything...

-----

Danji was... slightly nervous. Mei already told her that they would go through all Treasures once they would land and even make a small tournament to reward the hardworking Foxes.

”Here...” Danji was unwilling, but she gave another Fan to Mei.

”This is... a good thing.” Mei narrowed her eyes and went on guard.

”Don’t misunderstand. I’m not giving it to you willingly. I just think that Aiko would be upset if I hid this Treasure, that could possibly help you save your life.” Danji snorted unhappily. She still had that Floating Stone, since Aiko returned it when she mentioned it.

”That’s... Yeah, I can see Aiko being upset if something like that happened.” Mei awkwardly scratched her head. She was very confused about how she should feel right now.

Danji was her rival and the person who spent time first with Aiko. Sure there was still the issue of that Dragoness, which almost made her faint, but since that silly Dragoness was away, there was no danger for Aiko for the time being.

The only one Mei had to be on guard for was Danji.

”What made you to suddenly give me this?” Mei tilted her head.

”I... don’t really think Aiko would use it.” Danji looked away with a vacant expression. Knowing Aiko, she would either throw it at her enemies or make illusions with it.

And while the latter one was not an issue, it would be upsetting if Aiko didn’t use the full potential of this Treasure.

Mei stiffened. The first thing she thought Aiko would do with it was either throwing it or bonking someone with it. Neither which would be really a good idea.

”I get what you mean.” Mei seriously nodded her head as they came to an understanding.

”If it comes to Aiko, it should be either a ’rock’ or ’hammer’.” Mei gestured animatedly, making Danji nod back.

”Not just hammer, if you combined both of them, Aiko would be ecstatic.” Danji gestured animatedly too, making other Foxes mistake them for good friends that were just awkward.

Both of them nodded their heads seriously.

”I still don’t like you.” Danji narrowed her eyes.

”I won’t hand over Aiko.” Mei snorted at her.

”Hmpf.”

”Hmpf.”

Both of them snorted unhappily, because they thought about the same thing.

It took them a while, but they eventually calmed down.

”I still don’t like you, but we can get along.” Danji reached with her hand.

”It’s an unfortunate reality.” Mei reached with her hand and they shook each other.

The Fox Elders breathed a sigh of relief, since it would be bad if these two would fight.

”I have found something interesting.” The Table Map Fox came over, alerting them of new information.

”What is it?” Mei was the first one to answer, since Danji didn’t care about that at all.

”It appears there is something underground over there and with the Qi density it might be an undiscovered Spirit Stone Mine!” The Table Map Fox proclaimed happily.

”Oh~?” Danji smirked. If it was something like that she would test her ’Treasure’ on Aiko once they landed.

”That sounds like something we should check.” Moon Aiko appeared between them as if she was called.

”What are you doing?” Mei’s lips twitched.

”What? I want Spirit Stones too.” Moon Aiko said innocently, like she was completely broke.

”You...” Mei couldn’t help but laugh out loud. ”You have a lot of Spirit Stones.” She pinched her cheek.

”You can never have enough Spirit Stones!” Moon Aiko proclaimed righteously, like it was already decided they would land...
