Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Chapter 50 – When you pick on the wrong person



The Foxes were moved inside cages that suppressed their Bloodlines. Now they were just normal Foxes with somewhat superhuman strength, but those cages were made out of expensive materials so they wouldn't budge.

The Elder nodded, he would slowly torture the Foxes to reshape them to his liking and then sell them to the other Elders, of course, he would rip the others off.

"Good, now we just nee-BLERGH" He vomited a few mouthfuls of blood.

He instantly lost his temper. "You bastards you were supposed to prote-BLERGH"

He rushed towards one of the Formation flags, while he didn't need the Formation any more, he made it so that the Formation kept working even if he lost consciousness.

That was why he set his men around the Formations, since if someone tampered with them it would result in a bigger backlash.

...

Aiko moved through the soil to another flag. She liked the squeaking sounds the flags made when they were displaced.

'Nudge it! Nudge it! Nudge it!'

The Darkness encouraged her.

*Nudge*

[[Mischievous Cub] Activated!]

The flag tilted less than when her Luck also activated, but it was enough to make that squeaking sound.

Aiko grinned moving to another flag.

...

"..." The Audience was completely silent, they were sympathizing with Formation Cultivators, who were shivering at Aiko's mischievous appearance and liked to play with things.

"Please remind me, to never create any Formation before her." One Formation Apprentice asked.
"Oh please, even if it's already set up, she will just do that." Another Formation Adept, who had to change pants, said to him coldly.
"I will definitely create Formation in front of her." Another youth Formation Apprentice said.

""Are you insane?!"" They both spoke in sync.

"We all like her, right?" That youth asked.

They nodded.

"Isn't she interested in Array?" The youth smiled from ear to ear.

Both of them shook their heads. "While your plan to get close to her is praiseworthy, you are really stupid. Do you know what happens when you experience backlash?" Formation Adept asked and both of them shook their heads.

"Have you ever visited the 'Muscle Peak'?" He asked and both of them shivered.

"Now imagine that pain, but turn up to 11!" He scolded them.

"So..." the youth Apprentice gulped. "We can't use Arrays to attract her?"

"If you don't mind the pain." Formation Adept narrowed his eyes.

This shut him up. The 'Muscle Peak' was a cursed Peak where you could only hear screaming. They would scream from morning to night and throughout the night.

It was a bone-chilling experience and they never wanted to experience that again, that was why almost nobody touched the missions from the 'Muscle Peak' since you had to go there in person to get more details about the mission.

...

The Sect Leader gulped. "Please explain to your Mate to not touch our Formation Masters." The Sect Leader said in a pleading voice.

The Queen licked her lips and the Elders gulped, not because they were scared, but because they really wanted to experience those #### and ####.

The Queen sent her a slip of jade, with her herb demands and rates.

"If we agree on this deal you will keep her away from our Formation Peak?" The Sect Leader asked.

"If she isn't interested enough, yes." The Queen readily nodded since that jade slip was a complete rip-off for this Sect, they would bleed their resources onto the Queen's lap and she would make Pills and more Medicine Baths for Aiko.

'Although those Medicine Baths would be postponed.' She was already aware of the attraction Aiko was creating. There would be a lot of annoying people and she had to refine a lot of Pills to get more Contribution Points.

The Sect Leader narrowed her eyes as if thinking about it. "We can't give you the 7 Coloured Peach." The Sect Leader shook her head. "It was stolen from us from our Traitors, we would have to retrieve it first." The Sect Leader tried to smooth the situation.

"That is fine, but I want collateral." The Queen continued negotiations as she giggled at Aiko who was still messing with the flags.

...

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD CAN'T YOU JUST DEFEND THO-BLERGH" The Elder vomited blood so many times that he was dizzy.

He was completely livid as his incompetent Guards let that intruder do whatever it wanted. The Formation was still functioning as he had to first readjust all the flags before he would be able to take them down.

That was another limitation he had to impose in order to strengthen the Formation, but now it was backfiring.

...

Aiko returned to the caged Foxes. The Foxes immediately noticed her as her head popped in front of them.

"Stupid, go away! You will get caught." The Yellow Fox scolded Aiko.

Aiko stuck out her tongue and moved under the soil.

She readied more of her Spirit Stones.

*POP**POP**POP**POP*

She was able to easily assassinate those as they were much weaker than the Elder.

The Foxes were left speechless, especially the Blood Fox.

'S-she went easy on me.' The Blood Fox cried in her mind, she might develop Inner Demons because of this. Her body might be healed, but her Blood Reservoir was completely empty.

They had hope that Aiko would free them, but...

'''She is looting in this situation?!''' They were all left speechless.

Aiko rummaged around the corpses, but soon gave up and just stuffed them inside the 'Fox Village' Pouch. She then dived into the soil and waited.

The noises attracted the Elder and he returned. "WHERE ARE THOSE BASTARDS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO GUARD THOSE-"

*Ding*

A Spirit Stone bounced on his head.

He turned around and gouged the ground. Seeing his destruction the Foxes cursed that little one that she didn't escape, but...

*Ding**Ding**Ding*

3 Spirit Stones bounced again. Making the Elder furious.

*Ding*

"THAT'S IT YOU SHITTY WHORE! I WILL FUCKING SKIN YOU ALIVE AND FEED YOU TO THE RATS!" His aura roared as he got angry and Aiko just hid far away from him. He was using a large amount of his Qi and would run out eventually, so Aiko just needed to infuriate him more.

He blew the ground under him and pebbles flew in all directions.

-300HP

One grazed Aiko and she cursed that lunatic.

'Oi! You are supposed to run out of Energy not fight me!' She was sweating as her body was incredibly heavy and painful. She didn't like that, she wanted her warm Den and not this shiny bald nightmare!

Aiko moved even further and waited until his energy weakened.

She moved back cautiously listening to the Darkness.

She threw another spirit stone.

*Splat*

Blood dripped from the Elders's head. He was not dead yet, but her skills finally worked.

She was shooting one Spirit Stone after another as the Elder tried to catch her with his hands. He ran out of Qi, so he couldn't move as fast as before.

Aiko adjusted her mind to the heavy body and was able to move somewhat fast, but she would use [Earthen Walk], whenever there was danger of being caught.

The Spirit Stones started to pile on the ground as Aiko threw her thousandth Spirit Stone.

"Fuck." He vomited more blood as he plopped on his face. "I can't believe a shitty lowly fox-"

*Splat*

[Gained Level!]
[Level: 160 -> 162]
[Congratulations! You have been awarded the Title: [Babi-barian]!]
[Babi-barian]
[You have proven to be ruthless Hurler!]
[Your 'weapons' can be imbued with Qi! (Can be automatic)]
[Your Strength is increased by 100, and Strength per Level by 5!]

'Finally' Aiko panted and plopped on the ground. Her Stamina was rock bottom.

She used [Meditate] to recover her Stamina. She was happy that she finally took him down, as it was quite a painful battle with her injuries.

'Fortunately, it's not cut injury or I would've bled out.' Aiko snorted as her Stamina was completely covered.

She went to the cages and slashed the locks. The cages opened and the Foxes cautiously went outside.

They saw the little heavily breathing Fox looting the corpse of that powerful, but hateful, Cultivator. They really wanted to chew him apart but waited till Aiko was finished.

Aiko glanced at them. The Blood Fox was collecting and refining blood.

Aiko couldn't collect any more of the loot since her pouches and rings were full. She replenished all the Spirit Stones and would take her time to find the rest, but it would be pointless if she couldn't store them.

She came in front of the Blood Fox. The Blood Fox was cautious and wanted to run away, but seeing other Foxes eyeing her up and down she couldn't.

'I can't shame my brother any more...' She thought, but she was internally crying as she still vividly remembered that beating.

Aiko stopped in front of her. The Blood Fox was sweating as she expected another beating, but instead of that she was almost buried by corpses and it was 80 of them!

Their Pouches were taken away somewhere and they didn't know where so they couldn't retrieve them. That was another reason why she couldn't recover her strength, but with so many corpses, she definitely could!

The Blood Fox hesitated to take them, but Aiko didn't even glance at her and went somewhere. They observed her but almost vomited blood once they saw what she was doing.

She was collecting every single Spirit Stone! The Foxes blinked in disbelief and most of them were resting, but still speechless at her antics.

Meanwhile, Aiko was collecting the stones happily. She would collect as many as possible until her Pouch couldn't hold it!

...

The Sect Leader. "I'm sorry friend, but can you retrieve them?"

The Grandmaster didn't say anything, but she made a subtle grabbing motion with her hands. "I don't mind." She replied positively, she really missed that fur. She already heard that the little one had a partner, but she could feel strange energy from her.

'Everyone dubbed her as Demonic Beast, but I don't think that's it...' The Grandmaster thought, thinking about the possibilities.

The Teleportation Array was lit up and she disappeared with a few others.

...

Aiko was trying to dig up a few last Spirit Stones when she was caught.

"What do you think you are doing? Shouldn't you be healing yourself?" A somewhat soft voice rang in her ears.

Aiko was wary of this person since the Darkness didn't say anything.

The Queen sighed. She could feel the wariness from Aiko and pouted. "You can't even tell that's me?" She turned back into Fox and Aiko was startled. She knew that there existed Fox-Humans, but she didn't think that Foxes could become Humans so soon!

Aiko was eyeing the Queen up and down and circling her.

'Two fluffy tails check.' Aiko nodded and happily jumped up, only to get caught by another person.

"That is bad manners little one." The Grandmaster smiled. "Jade Fox." She gave the Queen a brief nod.

"Grandmaster." The Queen turned back, with clothes back on again.

"Impressive." The Grandmaster praised.

"Thank you." She stole Aiko back from Grandmaster and Grandmaster pouted.

"It was quite messy." The Queen said.

"But your little one earned a lot." The Grandmaster narrowed her eyes, she didn't believe they were Mates, but she wouldn't say anything, it was not her place to say anything.

"That is true, but we have exchanged a lot of it." The Queen nodded with a smile.

"You mean that you ripped off my friend." The Grandmaster laughed and Aiko was startled.

"I suppose." The Queen laughed too and added. "There will be a lot of Medicine baths and Food. I have prepared a good deal."

She kissed Aiko's forehead, but Aiko had already thoughts about something else.

'Bath, Food!' Aiko's eyes lit up and she wagged her tail.

"Pfft." The Grandmaster laughed but soon coughed returning to her stern self.

"I will gather the others and we will return soon." The Grandmaster walked away and Queen nodded. They would have a long day ahead.
