Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Chapter 671 – Meeting the Twins

Moon Aiko rubbed her eyes. The slowing effect around her was even worse than before, but this time she was able to manipulate the speed at which she perceived the world.

'It might get difficult later on if I don't train this...' Moon Aiko groaned. Yet even more work to do.

"Aiko~" Yuxi barged in, since she was supposed to help around.

"Yuxi." Moon Aiko smiled kindly, making both of them blush.

"I'm here too..." Wanshu didn't like that all attention was on her partner. She was hot too alright!

"Wanshu." Moon Aiko nodded. "You both look gorgeous." They didn't wear the usual assassin attire and were in what one could consider casual clothing.

"Hehe~" They both smiled sheepishly. They didn't expect for Aiko to be so beautiful even when she was trying to conceal her beauty.

"How are you doing?" Moon Aiko invited them in, so they wouldn't stand in the middle of the doorway.

She also didn't want to be seen, since she had no idea how she looked currently.

Well, by looking at her hair, nothing much changed, but maybe there were other changes that she didn't notice.

"You look ravishing." Yuxi licked her lips.

Wanshu didn't quite like that, so she smacked her ass real good.

"Auchie!" Yuxi glared at her partner.

"I'm supposed to glare at you!" Wanshu pouted.

"You don't have to be jealous." Yuxi rolled her eyes.

"We are doing well." Wanshu pouted even more.

"You seem in good health. How is your training going?" Moon Aiko was curious if the Grandmaster was still teaching them.

"Don't even mention it! We don't have enough time to play around!" Yuxi shared her grievances, trying to seek justice under Aiko's banner.

"What does that have anything to do with me?" Moon Aiko already knew what she was plotting, but she still let Yuxi hug her.

Yuxi rubbed her face.

"They are bigger and softer. You have to give me what you eat, I wanna be pretty too." Yuxi pouted at her.

"I'm not eating anything much different." Moon Aiko chuckled. "Wanna hug too?" She asked Wanshu, so that she wouldn't feel out of place.

"I will do more than just hug." Wanshu whirled one of her legs innocently.

"I bet you are all eager to do that." Moon Aiko giggled. "Look at her." She pinched Yuxi's cheek. "She was about to bite me."

"She does like to do that." Wanshu nodded her head. Her partner left many marks on her body once she got into it.

This caused some trouble during training, making it necessary to wear more clothing to conceal those embarrassing marks.

"But you are doing well, I'm truly glad." Moon Aiko smiled.

Wanshu clicked her tongue. No wonder that her partner was so enamoured. This Mistress was too good to them and gorgeous too!

"Oh, speaking of things. Once things are sorted, you will be able to pick some nice Treasures." Moon Aiko smiled at them.

"Mistress..." Wanshu sniffled and immediately cuddled with her.

She was shameless enough to rub on her bosom like her partner, but not shameless enough to continue, since Aiko was too good to them.

"Now, now." Moon Aiko patted their backs. They seemed like they were doing well, but they probably missed their little adventures.

"What were you up to when I was running inside the forest?" Moon Aiko was curious if they just trained.

"We were doing missions, since our Peak had to hide. That intelligence was then used to 'rescue' the Blood Fox and others when it was necessary." Yuxi explained that they had to do a lot of missions, since Aiko was simply too powerful.

The Shadows Peak Elder made them run around a lot, not just getting information, but also interrogations among other things.

"Oh, thank you for giving me the information." Moon Aiko smiled even more. Thanks to that information the operation Danji was successful!

"But to think you would leave us behind and have fun alone..." Yuxi pouted. She heard that Aiko was crazy about many things, but that excluded the two of them, since they were too weak and far away.

"I will take you with me next time." Moon Aiko giggled.

They kept conversing like this for a while. The conversation was stiff at first, but everyone eventually relaxed and laughed together.

...

"Oh, Mei told us to help you with this place." Yuxi looked around, but she was not sure how to help.

"You can just wait on me or just help me relax." Moon Aiko smiled at them gently. She couldn't really ask them to help her with this, since it might cause some mess-ups to appear, which would then greatly complicate things.

"Oh I will help you alright~" Wanshu wiped off her saliva when her partner elbowed her.

"Don't scare her now!" Yuxi glared at her partner. They were supposed to naturally seduce her, but this Aiko was too tough of a boss for them at their current mastery...

"You are plotting something." Moon Aiko giggled at them. Sure they were a lot more lewd, but their essence remained the same... although the amount of sex appeal radiating from them was startling.

"You shouldn't underestimate us! We have been asked out many times~!" Wanshu proclaimed with a lot of pride.

"Asked out?" Moon Aiko titled her head.

"They wanted to fuck us." Yuxi explained shortly, since she knew that Wanshu liked to play games with others.

"Oh..." Moon Aiko sighed. 'Some things don't change, huh?'

"Ah, but that was before this whole cleaning stuff." Yuxi corrected the record, since she didn't want Aiko to misunderstand it.

"So it's different now?" Moon Aiko was hopeful that her cleaning would have some kind of change.

"Not really." Wanshu shrugged.

"She is quite blind when she gets horny, don't mind her." Yuxi immediately shut-up her partner by placing hand in front of her mouth.

"At the surface, things didn't seem to change, but that's only the surface." Yuxi smiled from ear to ear. "It pretty much went from: Let me fuck you! All the way to: Will you allow me to embrace you?"

"That's... impressive." Moon Aiko didn't think it was such a big change, but seeing Yuxi all animated. She was quite happy that they were like this.

"Yeah, I also don't see the change." Wanshu scratched her cheek.

"You don't see it since you got used to it too quickly." Yuxi was more careful about things, since she was not a Demonic Fox to begin with. Well, she was now, but that was beside the point.

"They were always rude and pushy. But they mellowed down a lot." Yuxi animatedly explained it. "Now they are not pushy. They understand that no is a no and not a roundabout yes. Although there are some Foxes that still practise that shitty way." She spat out disdainfully.

"They are very curt and honest, sometimes to a fault, but thanks to them not being pushy, we are in a much better spot." Yuxi explained more and more as she went along. "More polite, not pushy and no is a no are the most important parts."

"Okay." Moon Aiko felt like this change was much better than what Yuxi was describing before.

"Well, I suppose..." Wanshu scratched her head. "Rejecting them is much easier, and I don't have to kick their balls any more."

"Shush, because you are always very keen about kicking them into the balls we had many perverts following us." Yuxi shuddered remembering those Foxes with blissful expressions once they were kicked into the balls.

"Whoa..." Moon Aiko was taken aback. She did remember some perverts that liked to be pole-

*shudders*

"Let's change the topic." It was not just Yuxi who had the shivers, but remembering the situations, suddenly all of them didn't want to go outside of this room!

"How is your equipment?" Moon Aiko would create some nice things for them.

"We could use some upgrades. We had wrecked a lot of equipment during reckless training and some missions." Yuxi giggled like a silly girl.

"That was hell, not just recklessness." Wanshu shuddered. It seemed like she was not quite a fan of the training regime, but Aiko couldn't really blame them.

The Grandmaster can get pretty rough if you try to play too smartly.

"Swords?" Moon Aiko gestured.

"Daggers. Mostly daggers. There is also a string, but it's hard to control without daggers." Yuxi explained while her partner hugged her body.

Moon Aiko licked her lips. She had quite a good inspiration seeing beauties hug like that.

"So they should have a notch or O ring?" Moon Aiko gestured as she conjured a shining Rune on the ground on how the dagger would look.

"Notch is better, but we are still not skilled enough." Wanshu shook her head. "Sometimes it slips from the notch, making the situation more difficult than it already was."

"Hmm..." Moon Aiko adjusted the blueprint a bit.

"How about making it so that there is a small open space between the O ring, making it possible to quickly thread the string?" Moon Aiko adjusted it a few times to make sure that it wouldn't slip by accident.

"We had one knife like that, but it was too heavy, and the mechanism was too complicated and broke often." Yuxi didn't doubt her skill, but it was better for her to tell Aiko about her experience.

"This doesn't have any moving parts. It just 'clicks' the string into the O ring, allowing you to manipulate it without the fear of it slipping off." Moon Aiko paused. "Although, it will be a pain in the ass once you try to take it off."

"Is it complex?" Wanshu looked over, but that didn't seem to be the case.

"The string requires tension to get into the O ring, but that is only from one way. The other way from the O ring to freedom, requires a lot more skill and not a lot of tension." Moon Aiko shook her head.

"The tension allows us to quickly thread it, while also giving us protection from slipping." Yuxi and Wanshu quickly analysed what Aiko came up with and were impressed.

"We usually just withdraw the string completely, so there is no need for us to learn how to take it out of the O ring." Yuxi gestured.

"Is it that simple?" Moon Aiko was startled that the whole system wasn't all that refined.

"Well, it's easier to just let go of the string and then just roll back in..." Wanshu scratched her cheek.

"I didn't think of that..." Moon Aiko nodded her head. It would be true that if they wanted to do something like that, that would be the easiest way to go about things.

Especially since they do not use the notched knives, making it more difficult to manipulate.

The O ring was something that they relied on until they gained enough experience and Moon Aiko understood that.

"How about I make knives with both notches and O rings? You would just have to take off the O ring once you had enough mastery, and you could keep using the same knives." Moon Aiko suggested, since it wouldn't be all that much more work to do.

Sure, there will be some adjustments in the locking mechanism and the overall durability will be lowered, but since the materials would be top-notch, there should be no problems... probably.
