Chapter 171 – Tasty Meat and Bad Humans

Aiko was silent and calm.

Her team stared at her speechlessly and the Beasts breathed a sigh of relief.

What made Aiko so calm, you ask?

Oh, it's very simple.

Meat banquet! Lots of rare and delicious meats were served in front of her and she munched on it happily.

[Gained Level.]

She even gained levels from this meat!

Aiko's eyes shined brightly as she kept eating and eating.

The other Beasts' lips twitched. Those meats were delicious, but incredibly hard to find. One would eat it by savouring each single piece, yet this little Fox just downed a chunk of meat at a time.

The Foxes and other Beasts were upset, but they were not upset enough to disturb her so that her mouth could cause another mayhem!

"You really love meat..." The Lion with the snake tail shook his head. 'Some things just never change.' He remembered how this little Fox devoured so much meat during her stay at the Village...

The Lion sat with Aiko, because he was just there to keep the other Beasts in check.

He was not the strongest, but he belonged to the largest Beast Sect there was, so in other words... if they didn't give him a face and fight with each other, it would be like disrespecting the Heavenly Beast Sect.

They didn't dare to do that, since that Sect also produced large quantities of resources needed for Beasts to attain their true forms.

For Aiko that would be the Kitsune.

For the Lion it would be the Heaven Devouring Lion, but with a twist, since he had a snake tail.

Aiko munched until she felt somewhat full and then stared at him.

"What is it?" He looked back at her like he was looking at a cute daughter.

"Can it talk?" Aiko pointed at his tail.

"It hasn't developed intelligence yet." He shook his head.

"Oh..." Aiko was slightly disappointed, she wondered if that tail could also talk, which would allow him to insult people with much higher firepower.

'It's always better if you insult someone in a duo, since your partner would be able to cover you if you ran out of ideas...' Aiko narrowed her eyes.

...

The council was underway and naturally, the Beasts and Humans didn't get along. They would glare at each other, but at the same time, they had to hold each other's hands with a smile, since it would be bad if the Beast Stampede became worse.

They could only temporarily swallow their grievances and cooperate.

The Beasts still looked in a certain direction. They ignored the Emperor and other Sect Leaders, they were only interested in solving this crisis and... Lady Liu.

Lady Liu didn't just teach Humans, but also Beasts. Some more than others since some Beasts had poisonous aura which would make it difficult for Lady Liu to teach them.

But all of that meant nothing in the face of those Beasts. Their main point was that she didn't discriminate against them, nor did she reject them when they asked her to teach them things.

Some wanted her as a bride, since there were very few kind Humans left, but the impenetrable barrier called 'Inscription Saint' and 'the Great Roc Mother of Collapse' stopped their thoughts.

None of them would anger them, outside that stupid snake that just would back off even when warned.

Lady Liu chatted with the Beasts, since some of them were previously her students.

Most of the Beasts had sharp edges and were difficult to deal with, they were pretty stubborn, not to mention she was a Human.

This spawned many difficulties and later brewed greater trust and admiration towards this Mortal.

They were saddened to hear the news that she wouldn't be able to cultivate, but that couldn't be helped...

He felt strange, as Berserker Powder was supposed to agitate the Beasts so it would lose all its reason.

"The Beast Tide." He murmured, but everyone heard him, now all eyes were on the injured Sect Leader.

However, Chen Shi felt even stranger since Aiko didn't attack indiscriminately. He couldn't understand how she was not under the effect of the Berserker Powder.

Only Aiko knew how...

[You have been poisoned!]

[Your [Greater Poison Resistance] suppresses some of the poison.]

Aiko took a step back. This bastard was completely useless and none of these fuckers could smell the strange smell.

They were too comfortable with their power that they didn't try to be cautious.

Aiko walked towards another Human Cultivator. The Cultivators were wary of her, but she had a shield called Inscription Saint, which was on her side.

Aiko extended a hand towards the Sect Leader.

They couldn't understand what she was doing, but Aiko was waiting until he would hand over the bottle.

"What is it little Fox?" He kindly smiled at Aiko, while fanning the Berserker Powder, so that it would fully affect her.

[You have been poisoned!]

[Your...]

Aiko rolled her eyes and slashed him, but a defensive treasure blocked her hit. Aiko frowned, she didn't like them even more now and there was rage bubbling inside her.

She transformed into her Fox form, which was rare for a Fox to do.

They prided themselves in their Human form the most and would never transform into their Beast form in front of Humans.

Unfortunately, Aiko was different from other Foxes...

She used [Lacerate] that went from the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul to the Early Stage of the Soul Formation in power.

Aiko easily cleaved his Defensive Treasure and artefact in half and snatched the bottle.

She jumped on the table and gave the bottle to the Snake Lady, which surprised her.

Aiko rolled her strange eyes. Her fur was completely black and she was in the shade, which meant that her boost was significant. Her power now reached the Late Stage of the Soul Formation.

She disappeared from their sight and 3 bone-chilling cries were heard. More Human Sect Cultivators were injured and Aiko had 3 more bottles in her mouth.

This whole thing took less than a few seconds to execute.

Aiko came back to the Snake Lady and handed over the bottles. The Beasts had a terrible expression when they saw how many bottles of Berserker Powder they had. This meant that Humans planned to enslave them while they were in their enraged and senseless forms.

The tension was high. Aiko was clearly affected by the Berserker Powder now and Chen Shi wanted to block her just in case Aiko tried to jump on Lady Liu.

Aiko still had her reason and nobody would stop her from obtaining what she wanted!

She jumped from the table and under. Chen Shi lost sight of her and he could not feel her.

*Yelp*

Lady Liu was surprised when she felt something on her lap and the Inscription Saint snapped towards that sound.

He was worried that Lady Liu was injured, but...

There was a small fluffball on Lady Liu's lap, it inflated and deflated regularly.

Chen Shi's lips twitched. 'This damned Fox!' Even when She lost a lot of her reason, she still knew how to enrage him, especially since-

"Kyaaa! She is so cute~!" Lady Liu was a fluff lover... which meant that he wouldn't be able to separate Aiko from her.

Lady Liu carefully used her fingers to test the fluff. Her heart slowly melted into a puddle of happiness, since this fur was just so silky smooth and pleasant to the touch.

The fluffball twitched for a moment before settling down again, it didn't seem that Aiko minded such attention...
