"So..." Dai Lu's lips were twitching.
"So..." i's lips were likewise twitching.
"6 Tails, but only 4 give any effect." Aiko repeated the sa sentence for the 20th ti.
The duo's lips twitched. It was seriously ssed up, since they wanted to cuddle this cute little creature, which also ant that they might pounce on the big Aiko.
"We need a Recognition Inhibition Amulet or sothing." Dai Lu said before even i could utter it.
"En. Will you do the honour?" i glanced at Dai Lu.
"I will get to it right away." Dai Lu imdiately stood up and stord away.
"How are you feeling?" Aiko asked. i was not moving all that much.
"I had been having headaches thanks to you." i's lips twitched at Aiko's expression of innocence.
"That's not my fault. I only abused the forced transformation that the Dew Form brings." Aiko said. "On that note, can I have more Souls, so I can abuse it one more ti?" Aiko pleaded to i.
i imdiately plopped back into a lying position. She didn't want to hear what Aiko would say.
Aiko pouted, but she left i to rest.
She walked about and started to think about what she should do about this situation.
It was a calm afternoon. The sun was high in the sky. Aiko had plenty of ti before she transford into her Dew Form, but she was unsure if she could find 200 Souls to get 1,001 Souls for the new tail.
If she went outside, there could be sothing that she could find, but it's unlikely that Aiko would get far thanks to her big form.
Sure, she is much, much more powerful now, but that doesn't an her Dew Form was also powerful. All it did was to make her more beautiful, which would definitely bring more troubles.
Aiko tilted her head, when a notification from the system startled her.
[#### inside your Divine Sense ate the ####!]
[Your Soul increased by 3,472!]
Aiko blinked a few tis. Did she eat sothing? She didn't rember eating anything that could obtain her more Souls.
She was completely unaware that the big wolf captured that Ghost way back when the Mirage Fox was still alive.
The wolf was playing with the Ghost until it was able to devour its Soul. It wanted to play with it a bit more, but since its master needed Souls, it reluctantly submitted its prize.
'Now I can get more tails.' Aiko blinked with a happy smile on her lips.
'Thank you! Whoever you are~!' Aiko humd happily. Now she just needed to wait for the right ti and she would gain another form.
It was better to go inside as outside had reduced Dew Essence regeneration rate. With this, she would be able to stay in her Dew Form for much longer, thus allowing her to gain more tails!
Aiko nodded like she was so sort of genius and smiled happily.
...
The next morning, i was still lying in bed. anwhile, the Grandmaster was still away, so this was the perfect opportunity for Aiko to gain more tails!
[Would you like to use your Soul to obtain one more tail?]
[Cost: 1,000 Souls]
[Yes/No]
[Yes]
Aiko clicked without hesitation, and that sa kind of feeling spread throughout her body.
From 4,273 to 3,273 free Souls, Aiko still had room for improvent, but the thing was. She would need 10,000 for the next one and it was unlikely that i would allow her to have an additional 7,000 Souls just for herself.
It was also important to strengthen the others, but Aiko didn't know if she could share her Soul Essence with others.
[You need a Karmic Bound in order to share the best things from the system.]
Aiko nodded gently. It seems like she could share her Soul Essence with only i. That was fine, but Aiko was still worried about using the system's items.
The Twins were the pri example of going overboard. She didn't want to be left behind, so she would take her ti exploring the system before giving others gifts. It was bad enough that the Twins were faster than Aiko. Well, not any more, but the point stands.
'I think I can contend with the top places in this Village...' Aiko narrowed her eyes.
Her strength reached 506,040 without the Shadow or Lunar Boosts. So she could easily break 1 million if the conditions were right.
'Maybe I should also buy so passive Skills that would allow to increase my Strength...' Aiko narrowed her eyes. She currently had boosts for Agility, Dexterity and so on, but it would have been safer if she got all of them.
'Maybe later, let's first wait for those tails to finish.' Aiko nodded gently.
anwhile, the Grandmaster returned, only for her to almost faint.
"You are creating another tail?!" Dai Lu cried out.
"Tails*, since I'm abusing this form." Aiko snorted unhappily.
Dai Lu almost frothed from her mouth, but it was not as shocking as it was the first ti, so she was able to endure that feeling this ti.
"I have a special Recognition Inhibition Necklace." Dai Lu said. "Normally it's here for when the Elder from the main Village arrives, but the Sect Leader made an exception this ti.
Aiko nodded gently. "How much does it obscure?" She was curious since her Beauty went through the roof because of her new Blessing and tails...
"Apparently it should obscure... 1/100 of what others see? But I'm a bit doubtful since the Sect Leader was looking questioningly." Dai Lu shrugged.
"Okay." Aiko nodded. "I will be finished in 4 hours."
"..." Dai Lu touched her face. "It's supposed to take a few days to gain the first day, not to ntion the next ones..." She didn't believe Aiko, but no matter how much she read Aiko's mind, the fact that she would be finished in 4 hours didn't change.
Dai Lu spoke before Aiko could. "I think... I think I'm going to lie down. I don't feel very good..." She placed the necklace in front of Aiko and left.
"I hope they are alright..." Aiko touched her face. She could move, but there was this strange feeling that she didn't want to underestimate.
...
She didn't move for 6 hours and stared at her system.
[Species: [Shadow Spirit Fennec Fox (Female, Adult, Single-True Tail(Pseudo Four-Tails) -> Female, Adult, Three-True-Tails(Pseudo Three-Tails))]]
[Species: [Blessed Moon Fennec Fox (Female, Adult, Single-True Tail(Pseudo Four-Tails) -> Female, Adult, Three-true-Tails(Pseudo Three-Tails))]]
Aiko nodded happily and stood up. Everything worked well and she was filled with energy.
Aiko returned to where i was lying down. i was staring at the ceiling with a blank expression. She didn't move much and Aiko felt a bit tired, so she used this opportunity to cuddle with i.
Although she would not smother i any more since she didn't want to get bitten by her.
i stiffened when Aiko used her as a body pillow, but before she could say anything; Aiko was already sleeping.
"..." i blinked a few tis, but eventually gave up. She would not do anything to Aiko this ti, since it felt like she was exhausted.
...
The next day, Aiko happily ran around. She was full of energy and her speed also improved. While it was not that quick. It was still quick enough that Aiko would be able to outrun most low-level Cultivators.
This was enough since the limit in this space is supposed to be around the Peak of Golden Core. Or in other words, stats around 36,000.
Aiko had double of that without any boosts, so she would be safe against Humans!
Aiko rubbed her face against i. i put no resistance against Aiko and spoke with a soft voice. "You should wear that necklace."
"Okay." Aiko didn't reject i's words, since they were soft and soothing.
Aiko put on the necklace and i breathed a sigh of relief.
i had to struggle with her impulses when she saw Aiko who was Comparable to an Early Immortal, so much so that her palms bled from her sharp fingernails.
Aiko slled the blood and helped i bandage her wounds. Those wounds would disappear in a few monts, but i indulged Aiko since she was much more caring now than before for so reason.
She didn't mind that. Everyone liked it when their partner was nicer to them.
i also gave up on the fact that she wanted Aiko as a servant, but she was not yet ready to open up. She believed that there was a ti and place for everything, and since the Secret Realm was opening soon...
"You should be careful inside against Humans." i petted Aiko.
"Why? I'm around twice as strong by the system's standards." Aiko tilted her head.
"That is on this continent, but you will be restricted if you fight against Humans." i soothed Aiko.
"... Huh?" Aiko blankly blinked at i.
"As long as you are not fighting against Humans you will be able to use your full strength, but once a Human attacks you, your strength will drop to the Peak of Golden Core." i smoothed Aiko's frowning forehead.
"What...?" Aiko didn't believe her ears. She just gained so much strength, yet she was nerfed imdiately?!
"You can use your full strength against the creatures inside, just not Humans. As such, you will be able to explore more than Humans." i gently soothed Aiko. "So you can avoid the Humans or group up with your team."
"I don't like it." Aiko suddenly said.
"I know, but you will have to bear with it..." i then spoke. "Your Divine Sense won't be suppressed, so you can just whip them with that black wolf." i caressed Aiko's hair.
"Oh?!" Aiko's eyes shined. Now that was good news for her. She trained her Divine Sense for a long ti, so it would absolutely piss her off if she couldn't use it.
"Should we group up soon or?" Aiko asked i.
"What do you think?" i smiled.
"I won't be able to sleep without a proper bed." Aiko confessed.
i's lips twitched. "And whose fault is that?" She narrowed her eyes.
"My..." Aiko sighed.
"You can group up." i blurted out. She didn't expect that it was really Aiko's fault.
"Okay..." Aiko didn't recover much. She regretted using the Spirit Crystals and Spirit Stones as bedding...
'I will definitely get rid of that title sooner or later!' Aiko vowed in her mind.
