Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Chapter 658 – Sealed Courtyards

"This way." Moon Aiko commanded the Muscle Foxes to disassemble the nearby walls.

It seemed like the pillars would be the last thing she would be able to take, which was unfortunate since they were getting in the way.

Moon Aiko created a canopy for Mei's bed, so that she wouldn't be breathing any dust and so that those annoying pesky flies wouldn't bother her.

Taking apart this building was no easy feat, but thankfully Moon Aiko had many helpers, as once Mei feinted everyone stopped holding back.

Dai Lu came over from time to time, only for her lips to twitch several when she saw what they were doing.

"Another seal is down?" A startled Fox once again declared before running back in.

Moon Aiko thought that he was quite amazing for being able to take down those seals. She was completely unaware that she was the reason the place was 'falling' apart.

...

It didn't even take a day for the whole building to vanish. The already tired Mei now woke up somewhat refreshed, only to find that she was now on a small hill with not much around her.

"Aiko!" Mei shouted, believing that Aiko dragged her away.

"What's up?" Moon Aiko's head popped out of the ground, startling Mei.

"What are you doing?" Mei narrowed her eyes.

"We are basking at the amount of resources hidden inside the Treasure Pavilion." Moon Aiko smiled happily before beckoning Mei to join them.

"Treasure Pavilion...?" Mei tried to remember what happened before she fainted, which caused her yet another headache.

"Yeah, yeah."

"Join us, join us~"

More and more heads popped up around Aiko, nudging her to join them.

Mei groaned, but still stood up and walked over.

The illusion was quite elaborate-ly ruined by Aiko. There was no sense of might or awe, just a hole covered by simple illusion remained.

Mei descended into a carved up cave.

"This place is weird." Mei felt that this place was strange.

"Hey! Pry that wall off first, we have to do it by the system our Goddess told us!" One Muscle Fox shouted at another.

"I hear ya, I'm doing my best over here..." Another muscle Fox groaned unhappily, since this was quite difficult to do.

"We are training our muscles, so all is good." The Muscle Foxes flexed their muscles happily.

Mei almost fainted again. "Was it not enough to take the whole building?! You are taking the underground part too?!"

"There are too many pesky seals." Moon Aiko pouted, if they took the normal route, then it would take weeks to break the seals even with Feet Chin's help.

Mei felt her head throb. She was an artist too, but to think someone would treat their art like it was made by petty individuals...

"But, we are almost there~!" Moon Aiko hummed, dragging Mei around.

The Foxes giggled, giving them more space.

The cave turned into well ornamented and carved walls, it was obvious that this is how this place looked before Aiko happened.

Mei quite marvelled at their taste, which was less gaudy than the outside was.

"And there it is!" Moon Aiko hummed as she prostrated herself in front of the grand loot of Beast Cores, Treasures and many, many more things!

"You..." Mei sighed, before chuckling. Aiko was truly an eccentric individual, but at least she was able to get work done, unlike the others.

"What do you think?" Moon Aiko's tails swayed happily, seeking praise from Mei.

"You did well." Mei had to praise her, since she realised how difficult those seals were and how much time it would take.

{Sealed courtyards}

Chen Shi felt a shiver run down his spine, causing him to sneeze loudly.

"What is it this time?" The Fox Village Leader rolled her eyes at him.

"I think that someone is disgracing Runes somewhere in this place." Chen Shi had the same sensation when that damned Fox tried to do something with Runes!

"Uhuh..." The Fox Village Leader rolled her eyes, but still waited patiently. "How much longer will it take? I'm starting to get worried."

"A day should be enough, I'm at the last stretch." Chen Shi felt weird trying to encroach on someone else's work, especially since this work was quite impressive and elaborate.

"I wonder what they are hiding..." Chen Shi involuntarily spoke, since he was that curious about it.

"I hope it's not what I think..." The Fox Village Leader didn't want to believe it, since that person was supposed to already be on the mainland.

...

Chen Shi finally was able to find the key to the seal, making this whole place his.

"We can enter now." Chen Shi said, but the Fox Village Leader was already waiting for him at the entrance.

"What?" The Fox Village Leader tilted her head.

"Nothing." Chen Shi felt weird about this situation, because she was in such a hurry that made him suspicious.

Entering the place, one could see that these were just normal joined courtyards. Even the air was somewhat the same, and nothing was out of the ordinary.

"The left one." Chen Shi proclaimed, and the Fox Village Leader kicked apart the doors.

"..." Chen Shi stared at her dumbfounded for a moment, when a thick scent of sex hit him.

Both of them frowned as they entered the place.

There were already Foxes lying on the podium, breathing, but dead at the same time.

They were unmoving, their Souls broken, and their bare bodies were covered in questionable fluids.

Then there was a large bed on the side and on it was a 'living' Fox.

"Seer?!" The Fox Village Leader yelped when she realised who it was.

"Little Yuan, is that you?" The Seer spoke gently. She was the only one dressed, but Yuan could see her body was cracked all over.

"What have they done to you..." Yuan sniffled when she saw how frail she became.

"I was just stupid and paid the price." The Seer didn't have any resentment in her voice, just sadness that she wouldn't be able to experience the world.

"Don't say that, we will be able to heal you!" Yuan shouted loudly. She didn't want this to end like this.

Suddenly a certain 'annoying' Fox popped inside her mind, giggling at her.

"I know! Let's bring Aiko in!" Yuan proclaimed with determination, almost making Chen Shi shit his pants.

Chen Shi grabbed the Fox Village Leader and shook her body. "You want to create another monster?! Are you insane?!"

"I'm completely sane, and she will live!" Yuan kicked his crotch before running off.

Chen Shi grumbled as he held his crotch as that damned Fox had too good of an aim and technique.

"Is someone else there?" The Seer spoke with some fear.

"I'm still here (for now)..." Chen Shi almost foamed from his mouth.

The Seer pursed her lips. "If you don't mind, would you fulfil my last wish?"

-----

The Village Fox Elder prostrated in front of a certain chaotic Fox.

"So you want Aiko to do something about it?" Mei was startled that even the mighty 'Yuan the Soul Reaper' would plead to her partner.

"If possible..." Yuan pursed her lips. She knew that she was grasping at the impossible, but that would stop her from trying.

"..." Mei sighed. This was what she was worried about. Everyone projects their expectations on her partner.

She experienced this kind of thing which almost made her self-destruct from overwork.

This means it would be better to stop-

"Eh, sure, but I wanna take these Treasures too..." Moon Aiko pouted, looking inside at the mountains upon mountains of Treasures.

"They will be all yours if she can be saved." Yuan didn't hesitate about this, since the Seer took care of her when she was 'little' and 'clueless', saving her many times.

"Okay!" Moon Aiko immediately did 180 on the spot. "We need to go now, since she is in bad shape." Which was a very noble thing to do... if her eyes weren't still trained on the mountains of Treasures...

Yuan giggled, while Mei shook her head. This was how Aiko operated, and it kind of felt like she was not pressured by such lofty words.

...

At the entrance of the courtyard, Moon Aiko flinched.

Yuan knew that this Fox didn't have as much experience, so she was quite worri-

"Smells like shit. Whose idea was it?" Moon Aiko immediately frowned since unlike the sensual air around the old Fox Village, this stench was so bad that it could compare to those Netherworld Pills!

'Never mind...' Yuan was too worried, since she saw herself in this small Fox.

Moon Aiko was still in her small form, since it was easier to go around the Muscle Foxes as their legs were bulky and apart.

Sneaking under them was easy, so Aiko quite liked it like this.

"Whoa, even more dead-live bodies." Moon Aiko was impressed by the damage those shitty Elders caused in the end.

Then everyone froze. Their eyes trained on a certain duo.

Before anyone could react in any way, Yuan drop-kicked Chen Pervert Feet into the wall.

"Y-you! It's not enough that you have harem, but you even lay your hands on Foxes?!" Yuan started to dress the Seer back again, since Fetish Feet Shi tried to undress her.

"Don't be like that, little Yuan. I made that request..." The Seer wanted to laugh, but her body hurt too much for her to do that.

"Don't say that! There are many better ones than Chen Butt Chin!" It seemed like Aiko's naming scheme was quite contagious as even Yuan adapted it.

"Those are some impressive Divination injuries." Mei was the first one to speak.

"She is kinda cute." Moon Aiko liked this girl.

"She is hurt, can you be more considerate?" Mei rolled her eyes at Aiko.

"Even if you say that, every Fox is too beautiful with very similar features, so those cracks give her quite the unique air, you know." Moon Aiko justified her words.

Mei almost facepalmed, when suddenly the Seer actually laughed.

"Hahaha, sorry, haha, It's just, haha, I have never seen such a cute Fox." The Seer laughed even when her body hurt, since the air changed significantly with just one individual.

"It must hurt, you shouldn't laugh." Yuan immediately caressed the Seer to alleviate her pain.

"It's fine. I can't even move." The Seer was not concerned about her state, since she was nearing her end.

However, she didn't regret anything as her last moments were of joy instead of sadness and fear...
