Chapter 122 – Bickering and Plans

Chapter 122 – Bickering and Plans

Aiko was looking over them. She was left completely speechless.

Mei glared at Blood Fox. Blood Fox smirked. It was super effective. Rinse and repeat.

At first, Aiko didn't mind this exchange as she knew that Mei didn't like Blood Fox, but... she didn't expect this exchange to go on for 6 hours straight!

Well, at least she was able to observe the Soul of Umbra Fox, but that got old quickly, so now she is looking over to the system.

[collapse]

She got 8 levels from this short exchange, which was great.

There was a new thing: [Soul Palace (Undeveloped)]

She prickled Aiko with her needle to see the colour of her blood and if it flowed properly.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with her blood, which worried her more.

'Let it not be the bones or marrow. Let it not be the bones or marrow.' Mei chanted in her mind. If the poison settled anywhere in those two locations, she would be in trouble...

She inspected it again and again, each time her face darkened more and more.

'Fuck! It's in the bones and marrow!' Mei's face distorted. She never cursed so much in her life as she was just now. 'Fuuu... calm down.' Mei's chanted her mind sutra to calm herself. 'It's not lost yet, the Medicine Bath can purify some of it, but the most important thing is that I need to know how it became like this.'

"How did this happen?" Mei asked as calmly as possible, but Aiko was already quivering.

'Scary, scary!' Aiko was crying inwardly when she saw Mei's scary face and even more once she asked.

"W-well..." Aiko stuttered, she slowly explained her situation and how she felt tired and fell asleep.

Mei's face was turning blacker and blacker and even the Passion Fox and Umbra Fox were holding their foreheads.

Aiko sniffled. She didn't understand why they were looking at her like that.

Mei was still chanting the sutra so that she wouldn't flip on Aiko. She had to keep reminding herself that she was just a cu-juvenile and that she didn't know much about the world.

The fact that you had to guide the Pill properties through your body manually was common sense. Otherwise, everyone would get poisoned like Aiko. No matter how powerful the Pill is, if it's not guided properly it's useless to use it as it will only cause more harm.

'I will need the Detoxification Pill... at least 5th Grade, but that requires a lot of rare materials and I don't know if I can find it on this small continent.' Mei clicked her tongue. She was upset that she let Aiko leave the Village so soon. She should've insisted that she stayed for a few more years so that she could teach her everything.

'I will definitely visit that 'Elder Punisher'.' Mei smiled sinisterly, ready to make his life miserable.

...

Somewhere far away, Grandpa Lin shivered and he immediately ran away as his life depended on it. 'This location is supposed to be safe!? Why am I feeling such a bad premotion?!'

...

Aiko wanted to cry, seeing such a scary expression from Mei.

"You will stay inside the Fox Village until you learn everything!" Mei harshly reprimanded Aiko.

Aiko obediently nodded as she was lectured for two hours straight, which was less than before, but still a lot considering her feeble body.

Aiko was constantly blinking to stay awake, but soon fell asleep while sitting down.

Mei moved her on her tails. They could still somewhat accommodate her, but she was also heavier.

"Is it that bad?" The Passion Fox asked, but there was no hint of playfulness in her voice, unlike before.

"Yes." Mei didn't conceal anything. "You won't be able to leave this Village for a few dozen years." Mei snorted coldly.

"That is fine. Can she be cured?" The Passion Fox was worried, her portable calmer can't be hurt.

"It's possible, but it requires a lot of resources." Mei sighed. "You better prepare to work your ass off." Mei warned them.

"That's only natural since we are a team." The Passion Fox didn't reject this motion.

Mei smiled, the Passion Fox's image improved ever so slightly in her mind.

"I will write down the ingredients and you should try to locate them inside this Village. It's too dangerous for you to leave." Mei gestured. "If nothing goes wrong, we should be able to pacify the poison so that it doesn't cause any inconveniences for Aiko." Mei thought for a bit. "We should also search for a few resources so that I can make acupuncture needles."

"Okay." The Passion Fox smiled, this was a sealed deal. She would help Aiko recover and improve her image in Jade Fox's mind. It was a win-win situation.

The Umbra Fox felt devastated since the Passion Fox decided something on behalf of the team... again. She didn't want to search for the Herbs as most rare Herbs were in the possession of the old lustful geezer, she didn't want them to see her and take a liking to her.

Unfortunately, she was not a boss in this team, nor was she powerful enough to refute them, so she could only go with the flow...
