Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox
Chapter 456 – Reaping the Rewards

"This should do..." Aiko yawned again. She would not work as hard as others since there was no need.

Walking back to the inner room. She passed by the Elf and the other two.

They expressionlessly stared at her like they had just seen a monster.

Aiko didn't care about them and walked in as the Runes suddenly lit up again.

"I'm going too!" The Flower Demon hastily activated the Runes so she could stick with this crazy Fox. 'No wonder that Ghost called her crazy...' She had to adjust her evaluation of her.

-----

"She beat us to it." The Elf was even more anxious than before.

"It will be fine. We can still catch up." Long Chen had no intention of giving up on the Fox. They were hailed as vixens, which would be perfect for his already growing group.

"How?! We are not fast enough!" The Elf yelled, tears forming in the corner of her eyes.

"She already told us how to do it." Long Chen smacked his lips. He would just reuse the Runes that she left behind.

He could somewhat read the Runes. It was not perfect, but he would be able to find the same Rune on the wall, making this easy endeavour.

'The problem is my companions...' He would have to do it with all of them.

Ling Ling narrowed her eyes. If the Flower Demon joins them, she should be able to get her Spirit Crystal...

Unbeknown to her, she was already colluding with the Fox...

-----

"You are like a bug, you know that?" Aiko blinked at the Flower Demon, who was stuck to her.

"Don't leave me behind! I don't want to be with them!" The Flower Demon whined.

Cough

The Ghost remnant awkwardly coughed. "Are you finished...?"

"I'm waiting for my Treasures." Aiko rolled her eyes.

"Very well..." The Ghost remnant pursed her lips. 'What a crazy person... maybe if I share my whole inheritance with her...' She believed that her Inheritance would return to its former glory with her help.

"I will tell you what I can offer you." The Ghost remnant waved her hand, and many objects flew before them.

[Sun Wheel]

[Weapon]

[Empowers all Fire-based Abilities and Techniques.]

[Book of Lava]

[Knowledge]

[Helps with integrating Earth and Fire together.]

[Sun Dew]

[????]

[A single drop from ####, which lived on #### Sun.]

...

......

.........

Aiko looked over all of them, but she was most interested in the [Sun Dew].

She could feel her system resonate with it, or rather her inventory.

Inside her inventory, there were quite a few things, but the main one would be [Essence of ####].

It was the Essence of something, but since it possibly resonated with [Sun Dew]...

'I will get that.' Aiko narrowed her eyes.

Just then, the others entered the chambers.

The Elf immediately saw the [Sun Dew], and her eyes lit up, but once the Fox touched it.

"No! That's mine!" The Elf screamed and rushed at her.

Aiko blinked speechlessly and stored it in her Storage Ring. She then dodged the Elf like she was a plague and let her crash onto the ground.

"I need it too." Aiko replied coldly.

Ling Ling licked her lips. "Yuqi, didn't you also want the [Sun Dew]?" She intended to make the Flower Demon fight with them against the Fox.

Long Chen frowned. 'There are more opportunities in this place. We don't have to fight over this.' He discreetly clicked his tongue. 'Women.'

"Yeah." The Flower Demon chuckled. "But she was first~" She hummed happily.

Since the Fox also needed this Dew, it meant that it was for strengthening her Bloodline. The same Bloodline that would help Yuqi with her cultivation.

As such, she had no problem surrendering the Treasure to her.

"What...?" Ling Ling stared speechlessly at her.

"For someone who is hailed as the Dragon Prodigy, you are quite dumb, huh..." Yuqi rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe that this thing was about to become the Dragon Saintess instead of her sister.

'There are rumours that her sister was done in by her own brother during the flood ceremony...' Yuqi clicked her tongue. Dragon families were truly nauseating.

"You-!" Ling Ling immediately breathed a bit of fire through her mouth.

"Oh, scary~" Yuqi immediately hid behind her new Master.

"Why are you dragging me into this...?" Moon Aiko felt slightly speechless, but she couldn't feel anything bad about her.

She was not plotting against her or having negative feelings. She was just a troublemaker...

'I feel like Nightmare Aiko will get along well with her.' Moon Aiko clicked her tongue.

"I'm not~?" Yuqi smiled innocently. "They were about to rob you, so I'm just helping you?" She tilted her head cutely.

"Nobody will be robbing anyone." Long Chen noticed that the Vicious Jade Fox was even more beautiful than before, and his greedy lust overtook his common greed.

"But Chen-!" Ling Ling immediately used his first name in order for him to make him move.

She knew that Long Chen loved it when they called him by his given name, so they often used it when they needed something.

"No buts! There are more opportunities!" Unfortunately for them, Long Chen still could vividly remember that soft body that crashed into him.

While Ling Ling was beautiful, she was quite tough, thanks to her scales. Meanwhile, Ying was slender and graceful, but she was too melancholic for him to keep her constantly by his side.

Yuqi was the best for him since she was quiet and gorgeous. Her body was soft and pleasant to the touch.

In a similar fashion, the Fox was also like that, and since the two were able to mingle together, Long Chen quickly switched sides...

"I can't believe you are not thinking with your brother this time..." Yuqi blinked with a startled expression, but... he was thinking with his member...

Aiko rolled her eyes. "Is there anything else?" She immediately spoke to the Ghost since she didn't want to spend too much time with this group.

The Ghost remnant narrowed her eyes. She didn't want to give her the Inheritance since it seemed like she would go with this guy.

'What is your opinion about them?' The Ghost remnant whispered to Aiko.

'I just want to get out... they are creepy.' Aiko shook her head.

There was no lie in her words, and the Ghost remnant was satisfied.

"Let this be your guiding light." The Ghost remnant smiled as she was slowly vanishing.

In her place, there was a small shard that shone in brilliant light.

Ying immediately got greedy but realised she couldn't stand up.

She was tied up by the hateful Flower Demon!

[Supreme Sacred Sun Scripture (Complete, Immortal Form)]

[Cultivation Manual]

[####]

Aiko narrowed her eyes. She had a feeling that this person was related to the Sun in some way since most of her things contained something with either Fire or the Sun.

What was unexpected was that she was more than that!

'I can't believe I got another scripture~' Aiko immediately stashed it into her system.

Cultivation Manuals (Waiting for Adjustments): [Blood Tyrant Scripture (Mortal Form)], [Moon Goddess Scripture (Mortal Form?)], [Dual Yin Cultivation Scripture (Complete, Immortal Form)], [Supreme Sacred Sun Scripture (Complete, Immortal Form)]

'But it's Immortal, will I be able to use it...?' Aiko raised her eyebrow.

[The Cultivation Manuals are currently being adjusted.]

[Once this period ends, you will be able to Cultivate in any given Form.]

'Nice!' Aiko made a smash fist jab from happiness. Her system was also once again quite talkative, which made her happy.

"I will be going now." Aiko smiled at them. It was a beautiful smile that mesmerised them and ignited endless passion in Long Chen.

""You are not going anywhere!""

Unfortunately for him, his harem already reeked of bloodlust as they charged at her.

'They are ruining everything!' Long Chen panicked, but the small Fox smiled.

"I hope your body is not nearby." Aiko raised her eyebrow.

"You think I'm stupid?" Yuqi rolled her eyes.

"Sharp tongue." Aiko narrowed her eyes as her white hair turned black.

"Hahahaha." Yuqi laughed awkwardly. "What I meant to say is no, Mistress." She immediately backpedalled.

[Nightmare Dive]

One of Aiko's movement Techniques that were contained inside the [Nightmare Fox Incarnate]. Previously unusable for some reason, but now she could use it and since the restriction was lifted once the Ghost remnant disappeared, she was able to freely use it.

Shadows wrapped around the two of them, and they disappeared from the place.

"Fuck!" Ling Ling cursed loudly as her ticket to Immortal World disappeared.

"Nooooo!" Ying cried out since her own Treasure that could help her people disappeared.

'Tsk.' Long Chen clicked his tongue when he saw his companions act like that. 'Just because we don't obtain one Treasure, they are like that.' He was quite upset at them, but since they were still beautiful...

'I definitely need to find the two of them and make them join me...' He narrowed his eyes.

-----

Meanwhile, somewhere out of that place.

Bleegh

Both Aiko and Yuqi were vomiting their guts.

"Couldn't you-" Blegh Stabilise the space more?!" Yuqi cried out as she felt all the juices in her body wanting to escape it.

"It was my first time- Blegh* "Using that Divine Ability!" Aiko also vomited. She felt like she was sliding down a river with constant waterfalls.

"You used Divine Ability without testing it first?!" Yuqi was livid. "Do you want to kill us?!" She didn't think that her new Mistress was so impulsive.

"We won't die." Aiko believed that the system would help them if something went wrong.

"Crazy Fox..." Yuqi vomited again until she felt better.

"What did you say?!" Aiko vomited her guts and felt better soon.

"Fight me!" Yuqi immediately got snarky.

"Oh?! Sure!" Aiko immediately straightened her back and barked back.

"Fuck!" Yuqi cursed. "I can't win against you!"

Meanwhile, the Demonic Foxes that guided Aiko here were exchanging looks, but once one Demonic Fox brought out what looked like popcorn, they all settled down to watch the show.

"Then you shouldn't get snarky with me!" Aiko glared at her.

"What am I supposed to do when all the Dew inside my body got wasted!" Yuqi barked back.

"It's easy to replenish!" Aiko kept fighting back.

"Hah! As if- I will follow you for the rest of my life, Mistress." Yuqi quickly changed her tune and kneeled in front of the Fox when she noticed that her drop of Dew was packed with so much Vitality it was shining!

"Tsk." Aiko clicked her tongue. "I can't believe how quickly your expression changes..." She shook her head.

"Can you blame me? In front of me is a single drop of Dew that is more precious than all of the Dew inside my body!" Yuqi clicked her tongue and felt injustice that someone who was not a Flower Demon was able to collect so much precious Dew.

"I feel like you will stab me in the back when something more precious shows up in front of you. I'm not as naive as Moon Aiko!" Nightmare Aiko snorted unhappily.

"I would be insane to go for short-term gain!" Yuqi shook her head. Moreover, this Fox also resonated well with her body, so she would be happy to follow her.

"I don't believe you." Aiko narrowed her eyes.

Yuqi rolled her eyes. "I will follow you even if you don't want me to!" She proclaimed with a loud voice.

clap clap clap

The Demonic Foxes nearby thought that this was a play that the two of them created.

They started to clap because they believed that the performance was over...
