"It's dangerous to stay in the Nightmare Forest." i crossed her arms.
"I know." Moon Aiko nodded her head.
"So you shouldn't go there for a prolonged ti." i felt like she was talking to a wall.
"I will just visit them, don't worry." Moon Aiko's smile reached her ears.
"Serious..." i felt her head throb. "Why are you so difficult to work with?"
"What's so difficult? I'm just helping so Beasts." Moon Aiko tilted her head.
"I'm coming with you." i crossed her arms.
"?" Moon Aiko tilted her head. How did it co to this?
"Why?" Moon Aiko couldn't help but ask her, since she knew that i was quite the shut-in.
"Well, I can't imdiately, but I think it would help you if I ca with you." i narrowed her eyes.
"Are you familiar with them?" Moon Aiko imdiately stabbed i with the age-old question.
"N-no? I don't think so?" i seriously paused to think about it. "I did have a few Elders who liked and took care of , but I don't think they would let themselves be held under a Contract..." She seriously frowned, thinking about them.
"Is that so?" Moon Aiko sipped the nearby tea.
"That's mine..." i sighed at her.
"It's mine now." Moon Aiko happily drank that tea.
"I have a few issues that I'm unable to solve." Moon Aiko handed over a special talisman.
"You ran out?" i believed that Aiko ran out of the Talismans, making her want to pull out more and give them to her.
"I... never really used talismans..." Moon Aiko sheepishly scratched her cheeks.
A beautiful, but scary, vein appeared on i's forehead.
"Aiko~" i imdiately pinched Aiko's cheeks.
"..." Moon Aiko gave up resistance.
"What did I tell you about bullying her?" Mai popped her head through the window.
"Why are you here?!" i was startled.
"Teach her properly, or I will watch you even during sex..." Mai's voice faded as she returned to her Demonic Disc.
i sighed softly. "What do you have a problem with..."
"I'm unable to create any space-related Inscriptions." Moon Aiko handed over the Storage Pouch that she made.
"Hm?" i tilted her head. "But this is not bad for your first try." She nodded her head, impressed.
Moon Aiko felt stabbed, but she didn't say that this was not her first product. Instead, she pulled a prototype to show to i.
"This is my usual craft." Moon Aiko handed over the Treasure.
"..." i speechlessly glanced between the prototype and the Storage Pouch.
"... I understand what you an..." i scratched her head. If she were to compare the two objects, it would be like soone completely different made each of them.
The difference was so huge that it could be said that one was created by an amateur and the other by an expert.
"The Inscription is fine and everything, so why is the space so strangely distorted..." i couldn't understand it. Sure, she was an Inscription King, but that didn't an that she knew everything.
'I know that I don't have as polished Inscriptions, but I could easily make Storage Pouches at this stage- No, let's not ntion Storage Pouches, even Storage Rings would be possible!' i couldn't wrap her head around it.
"Let's refine so Pills." i narrowed her eyes. She was much better with Herbs, so she could guide Aiko with a space-related Pill and see what was wrong.
"Will that help?" Moon Aiko tilted her head.
"Yes, first I will make a new Jade Slip which you will look through while I prepare the ingredients." i nodded her head slowly as she gently lifted the Jade Slip.
'... System...?' i really hoped she would be able to cheat it like Aiko.
[Would you like to copy onto the Jade Slip: Basics of Herbs (Space)]
[y/n]
i thought about 'yes' and waited. The Jade Slip gently shone before settling down.
'Surely not?' i didn't believe that it actually worked.
She slowly checked through the Jade Slip as her body started to shake.
"FUCK YEAH!" i was overjoyed that it actually worked, since this would save days of work and constant checking. The main issue with making copies on the Jade Slip is the actual consistency.
It's not as simple as writing on paper, since if you lose control just for a brief mont, that would cause so words to get smudged or distorted, causing the knowledge to be incomplete or downright incorrect.
This, in turn, would cause massive damage if one tried to follow it.
But not only did it copy perfectly, but the Jade Slip structure was even reinforced, making it harder to decay over ti.
This was pretty much the perfect way to record information into Jade!
"Co here, you little biscuit." i imdiately hugged Aiko from her joy, lifted her up and spun her around.
"Wa-" Moon Aiko was shocked, both with her crude language and overjoyed expression.
The spinning also didn't help to settle her mind and just made her dizzier.
"The world is spinning." Moon Aiko suddenly proclaid.
Even when i stopped spinning, Moon Aiko's head kept spinning and spinning, creating quite the funny sight.
i placed Aiko onto the bed before darting over to the Jade Slips.
'If I can perfectly copy my knowledge, I can issue the full Cultivation Manuals and Techniques over to others!' i held off teaching most things to others, since the delivery of information was important.
Not everyone was like Aiko, who was like an insatiable ravine.
However, she also couldn't transport that information through thought, since it was unlikely they would be able to rember all of that.
That's why only so Techniques were allowed to be given through thoughts, as they wouldn't decay through the process of settling one's mind.
While Moon Aiko was recovering from the spinning. i was hard at work with sinister laughter...
...
Moon Aiko recovered, looking around. i was nowhere to be seen, but that might've been a good thing.
"I won't get scolded." Moon Aiko smiled happily.
"Who won't get scolded?" i's head popped through the window.
"Kya!" Moon Aiko jumped, since she didn't expect i to be so close.
'Why couldn't I feel her?' Moon Aiko was concerned about her skills. 'Hm?'
Moon Aiko noticed i's expression. "You don't look so good."
i's energy was very faint, and Aiko was not used to spotting those kinds of energies, so she easily missed i's presence.
"I copied too many Jade Slips inside, making my head hurt. It's much nicer outside, but I'm running out of ntal capacity..." i sighed softly.
Moon Aiko ca outside.
Sure enough, i was sitting on a nice fur pelt, with stacks and stacks of Jade Slips.
Moon Aiko walked over and behind i.
"What are you planning?" i was still upset about the previous events, so she wouldn't let Aiko get away, wi-
"Ah~" i softly moaned as Aiko's fingers pressed against her back.
"That's nice~" i imdiately assud a lying position and let Aiko do her magic.
"Where did you learn this?" i was curious as Aiko kneaded her back.
"I didn't, well, I do have so skills, but I'm mostly using [#### Needle Technique] and [Heavenly Fingers] to make this work." Moon Aiko knew she also had that Title, but most of her skills ca from these two.
"How much more outrageous will you get?" i noticed that strange word that Aiko tried to vocalise, but she was more interested in how she was able to get [Heavenly Fingers].
"I will keep going for a while, so if it hurts too much, tell ." Moon Aiko didn't answer i's questions since she thought i would scold her.
"You can do this aaaall day~" i humd happily, the tension in her arms was quickly released.
With higher Cultivation Stages, it was increasingly more difficult for one to release that tension and rest properly. Most Cultivators believe that's the fruits of one's labour, but it just slows you down more than anything else.
Thanks to that, you are in more danger than before, and your opponents, especially the young ones, have a higher chance of killing you.
"The idea of Massage Chairs is incredible, but they still can't match the hands of a professional." i lanted that she missed such joy in her life.
"Oh, right, how are Massage Chairs doing?" Moon Aiko was curious if they lasted or if they were destroyed.
i moaned softly as she replied to Aiko. "One is barely functional, the others just won't do."
"How were they destroyed?" Moon Aiko was curious why they didn't last all that long.
"It's because of the Muscle Foxes, those muscles obsessive bulging muscles heads started to train like they lost all senses and always ca to our business to relieve the tension. I dare to say that the Muscle Peak beca the strongest Peak in the entire Fox Village, all thanks to one silly Fox that made a strange contraption." i giggled as she enjoyed the massage.
"I'm not sure if you are trying to praise or scold ." Moon Aiko sighed, but that also ant that they had a lot of Spirit Stones, right?
"That's obviously praise, since the Muscle Foxes are on our side thanks to you." i chuckled darkly. "Which will help us when we are cleaning this place."
"Shouldn't we change the Protective Array to hold everyone inside before we do anything?" Moon Aiko tilted her head.
"Only the Rune Saint or Rune Cultivator or what he is calling himself now can do that." i sighed. "Right, how did the negotiations go?" She suddenly asked Aiko, who stiffened.
"That's what the Talisman was all about." Moon Aiko suddenly nodded her head, concealing that she was flustered.
"You forgot to ask him, right?" i suddenly sharpened her wits and called out to Aiko.
"N-no?" Moon Aiko worked on i's back even more, so that she wouldn't get scolded.
i only briefly shook her head. "Your new job is giving a massage every day!"
"Yes, yes." Moon Aiko agreed imdiately, since angry i was scary i.
"She likes your massage, so she found an excuse to do it again." Mai's head popped nearby again, translating the words her sister just uttered.
"Mai!" i yelped at her.
"But she could just ask...?" Moon Aiko felt more and more confused.
"That's where her pride cos in..." Mai shrugged before going back to her Demonic Disc.
"Ugh..." i's ears and part of her back were completely red from sha.
"I will give you massages every day~" Moon Aiko humd happily.
