Chapter 35 – Medicine Bath

Chapter 35 – Medicine Bath

Aiko was carried by the Queen away to a nearby cave. The Queen would confiscate any food that she would bring from her pouch, making Aiko upset.

"You really can't eat that!" The Queen reprimanded Aiko. "You need to purify your Core!"

Aiko hmpfed away. There was something she had not done yet.

'I completely buried that in the back of my head.' Aiko thought, shaking her head.

'It better not be another meat!' Aiko glared at the system.

'Yes! That's what I'm talking about! Let's do the most expensive Skill Combination EVER~!' Aiko was really happy and her tail swayed left and right.

[Cultivation Gift]

[Gives you the most suitable Cultivation Technique]

'OOOOOOOOOO.' Aiko almost took off with her tail how fast it whizzed. 'Should I wait or should I use it? I still have the [Duality of Cultivation] problem so I should probably wait till I solve that, having 2 Bloodlines would make it difficult for me to find a suitable Cultivation Technique. Yeah, let's do that.'

The Queen was looking at that little windmill Fox and shook her head. She figured out that since this little sweetie is so strange she probably has something on her to help her. She Wouldn't pry into Aiko's secrets unless Aiko would tell her. Of course that is only a privilege for Aiko, if it was any other bastard she would try to extract every single secret out of them.

The Queen was slowly cooking meat for Aiko while observing her. She would never separate from her until they got into the 'Fox Village'.

Let's first look over what I have and can do.

Aiko was cursing at her since she had never before swam in the water as a Fox. The previous one doesn't count as she almost drowned and didn't have time to learn to swim properly.

Aiko panicked and quickly bought [Swimming] with her Skill Points. Surprisingly it cost her only 1 point.

But she noticed that she was floating on top of the lake? How was she able to float? She knew for sure that Skills weren't as magical as one might think, so it's not like Level 1 swimming would make her a professional swimmer.

The pond was very warm and nice to lay in, she almost left like she would-

*Zzzzzz*

"This..." The Queen sighed. "How is she able to sleep in such weird places." She remembered that time Aiko slept on her tail. "Seriously... if you look away for a second she would be asleep." But Queen was still smiling towards Aiko, unknowingly to her.

She prepared another piece of meat for Aiko while observing her closely. Since she was asleep it meant that she was completely relaxed and would get the best benefit from this.

'Last time I bathed in it I was awake and uneasy." She sighed. "That caused me to only absorb about 12% of the medicine bath, why have I not thought about sleeping?" She shook her head, slowly roasting meat.

Aiko was slowly dirtying the pond with her impurities, which the medicine bath pulled out of her.

...

Aiko woke up and yawned, almost gulping water.

She was startled awake and realized that she was still on that pond, but this pond was strangely black?

The Queen pulled her out of the pond and Aiko was shivering. She used [Clean] on Aiko and put her on her tail. That tail was near the campfire and was nice and cosy. Aiko almost immediately dozed off again, if it was not for the deliciously smelling meat.

She munched on the meat while being completely stunned.

Aiko was very happy with this turn of events, now she just needed to reach the appropriate Level and Evolve again. She has that rock called 'Moon Stone' she would definitely use that, but it might attract some attention so she should be careful.

She would only evolve once she found a very deserted place.
