Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Chapter 301 – Aiko and kind Dragon

Aiko had a staring contest with the visibly old Dragon.

"You are a grandpa." Aiko nodded gently.

She could see veins appear on his forehead, but it was also obvious that he wouldn't hurt her.

"You little brat, show some respect to the Elders!" The Dragon 'roared' with 'anger', but his eyes were quite gentle. It's been a while since nobody ran away from him due to fear.

"Oh! Sacred, majestic, magnificent, Divine Dragon!" Aiko was waving her body like she was praying towards the Dragon, but her movement was so comical that it actually angered him for real.

"You pesky brat!" The Dragon growled.

"What's me~!" Aiko raised her hand. She liked to play with the elderly, since they were fun to tease~.

The Dragon rolled his eyes. He never met someone like this! This was actually quite entertaining!

"So what brings you here?" The overly large Dragon spoke. Aiko was so tiny compared to him that it was laughable.

"I was running away from apes, spiders, and snakes." Aiko narrated her experience and the Dragon could only blink.

"How did you survive the 4 Disasters?" The Dragon was shocked at Aiko, who was able to survive meeting them.

"I went underground." Aiko tilted her head.

"What are you, a mole?" The Dragon chuckled.

"Don't call me a mole!" Aiko yelled unhappily. "Have you ever seen a Beast with such a beautiful tail!?" She hugged one of her tails to show him properly.

The Dragon stared at it for a bit before shaking his head. "I did." He smirked.

"Wha-! I call bullshit!" Aiko roared angrily. No way in hell did that Dragon see a mole with such a beautiful tail.

The Dragon laughed heartily. He was having the time of his life.

"Don't laugh at me!" Aiko growled at him. She didn't like him at all!

The Dragon kept laughing: his booming voice scared all the animals and Beasts away.

"I have never seen such an overly-conscious Fox." The Dragon chuckled.

"Who is overly conscious?!" Aiko roared again, for some reason this old Dragon really angered her.

The Dragon laughed again. "Come closer, keep me company."

"But I want to explore this Secret Realm!" Aiko pouted. She also wanted to Evolve, but she worried that the disaster she might cause would destroy this Secret Realm.

"That can wait." The Dragon was quite impatient. He wanted to spend his last moments with someone as energetic and cheerful as this little fearless Fox.

Aiko pouted. "What can you give me?" She made a grabbing motion, like she wanted to rob the old Dragon.

"Hmmmmm..." The Dragon thought about it. Even if he died, he would be just reborn here again. Once you are bound to a Secret Realm, you will stay inside the Secret Realm...

"Something very precious that you are lacking." The Dragon was able to gauge the little Fox's elements. He could give her one previous element and if he infused it with his Soul, it would become the most powerful element there is!

"Something that I'm lacking..." Aiko pondered on it, but she couldn't figure it out.

"But I still need to do a few things." Aiko didn't want to refuse, since she was curious about what she could obtain, but at the same time, she was also worried about Feifei. It's been a while since she was inside her Tails, so it would be bad if she starved to death.

"Can't you do them here?" The Dragon asked anxiously.

"You won't bite, right?" Aiko was quite anxious.

"I won't bite, I promise." The Dragon laughed happily. He didn't need food, so there was no need to bite anything.

...

Aiko pondered on it until morning. She realised that this place was quite safe, so she could spend her time here with the Dragon and get some Treasures from him.

*Poof*

Aiko turned into her big form and sighed.

"Again..." Aiko whined unhappily and the Dragon stared at her closely.

"Don't stare at me like that!" Aiko covered herself, since that kimono was overly small. She was now more conscious about it, since she didn't want to end up like those shameless whores that Mei told inside her stories.

"You are too young for me to even notice you!" The Dragon roared angrily. He would never go after someone so young when he was already almost 100,000 years old! Moreover, he didn't fancy Foxes! They might be nice, gentle, and soft, but they are hard to satisfy!

"As if! I noticed you peeking at them!" Aiko roared in anger too.

The Dragon choked. "I'm more interested in what happened to your body! What caused it!" He was really angry that he was reduced from a Majestic Dragon to a common offender!

"I don't know why, but I know it's because of someone from the Immortal World." Aiko shrugged.

"Oh...' The Dragon nodded gently. He couldn't research it in that case, or he might become a pet to someone else.

"Anyway!" Aiko grabbed her tails and ruffled them.

The Dragon stared at those tails and tilted his head. "Some kind of space distortion? No, it's a bit more complex than that. This power is not from this world..." He narrowed his Dragon-like eyes.

The not-so-small Fox in front of him suddenly pulled out a living being out of her tails. His eyes shook and they enlarged until they were as big as a lake.

"What is this curious ability of your tails?" The Dragon only somewhat understood what was going on, but he couldn't understand how it happened.

Feifei was confused. In front of her was a large eyeball, much larger than a house. Around her was quite the vast forest, but that was not important! What kind of scary creature was this?

Feifei immediately hugged Aiko, since she was too scared. She burrowed her head inside Aiko's soft bosom to calm down her nerves.

Aiko gently petted her head, since she was supposed to take care of this little thing.

"Oho. It can still breathe and think normally. She is human throughout!" The Dragon nodded, amused. He had the feeling that he wouldn't get bored with this Fox around.

"I'm scared!" The little Feifei cried out. That lizard was just too intimidating considering his size!

"It's fine, he won't hurt you." Aiko soothed the little Princess. This would be her first time encountering a Beast other than a Fox. So it was natural that it would end up like this.

"Oh... she passed out." Aiko tilted her head.

"That's only natural. Your soft body and sensual scent put her mind at ease, allowing her to let go of her consciousness." The Dragon explained.

"So what? Want me to hug you too?" Aiko snorted. 'I might be able to rob his Treasures if I put him to sleep.

"You are not strong enough." The Dragon snorted unhappily, seeing the little Fox's obvious greed in her eyes.

Aiko rolled her eyes unhappily. It seems like she was found out.

"What are you even looking for?" The Dragon asked.

"A place with a lot of Spirit Stones or anything that I can use as an energy source." Aiko explained.

"Why?" The Dragon didn't understand. He would understand if the Fox said that she wanted to enrich herself, but no Beast needed that much energy, considering her rank!

"I want to Evolve." Aiko chose to be frank with this Dragon, since she kind of started to like him. He was composed and didn't bat an eye even with Aiko's billions-plus beauty.

"..." The Dragon was speechless. "You don't need that much to Evolve."

"I do." Aiko snorted unhappily.

The Dragon likewise snorted unhappily. "If you need that much, then show me why." He placed a purple rock in front of the little Fox.

"What is this?" Aiko asked curiously.

"It's a dream stone." The Dragon explained. "It would normally cause you to dream, but I have modifi-"

"Ohhhh! Cool Runes!" Aiko cut him short as she noticed the elaborate Runic language.

"... You can read it?" The Dragon was shocked.

"Yep." Aiko nodded happily and explained what she read.

"It's close enough, but this Rune with this Rune means 'Deep' and not 'Dive'." The Dragon explained.

"Ohhhhh..." Aiko nodded. She was translating all Runes 'roughly', which was not necessarily bad, but it lost a lot of context in the process.

However, with this kind of advanced education, she should be able to improve her Runic language greatly.

"Wait!" Aiko stopped the Dragon. She still needed those Treasures, so once she obtained enough; she could learn from him.

"What is it?" The Dragon tilted his head. He was happy that he could talk about the Runic language, but this daring little Fox stopped his passion!

"We can talk about it later. I still need the Treasures." Aiko explained.

The Dragon snorted unhappily. "Suit yourself." He was sad that she didn't want to talk any more...

But soon after, he was shocked.

The ridiculously thick Heavenly Disaster Lightning destroyed everything without care in the world. Levelling mountains and drying up rivers.

"What the fuck?!" The Dragon cursed for the first time in more than 10,000 years. "What kind of sick fuck would do that?!"

He didn't believe that the one behind Dao was sane! This would absolutely kill the little Fox in front of him. No wonder that she sought Treasures! Without them, she would absolutely die!

The Dragon nodded. "This changes everything." He also noticed that she was packed with Vitality. "Please enrich me with your Vitality. We have a lot of work to do, but I won't be able to last that long." He wanted to punish the Heavenly Dao for this daring move, but he would not be able to leave this place.

It was better to strengthen this little Fox, so that she could spank the bastard behind the Heavenly Dao for both of their sakes!

"Huh?!' Aiko was shocked that the Dragon knew about this.

"My first love was a Dew Fox." He scoffed unhappily and seeing Aiko's body, he might know who the one that caused this strange transformation was...

"Oh..." Aiko nodded. She didn't expect this old geezer to be so daring. Even she didn't know the bottom of her Stamina if she really tried, but on the other hand mental exhaustion was no joke.

"Now listen, you should explore first after you give me that Vitality. I will be able to last for a year or so thanks to it. In the meantime, I will prepare things for you, so go ahead and bash that Heavenly Dao on the head!" The Dragon proclaimed loudly.

Aiko clapped her hands, since she could feel that he really was trying to help her.

The [Intention Perception] was sometimes a bit too powerful...
