Chapter 220 – Don’t bother me and Wakey wakey!
"Hmmmmm..." Aiko munched on another snack. She didn't believe him for a second that she wouldn't be able to eat them.
You can eat anything if your conviction is strong enough, some things are just harder to eat than others...
Aiko munched with her team, they would be travelling towards the last Capital.
"With that being said I heard that there is a Princess in this Capital." The Mirage Fox said, smiling.
"Good luck with that." Aiko dismissed his intentions.
"But we are supposed to-" The Mirage Fox tried to use his Divine Ability to convince the Vicious Cub, but...
"Good luck with that." Aiko dismissed him once again.
"Then where are you going?" The Mirage Fox asked, confused.
"To the last Capital and Princess." Aiko answered blankly, like she was talking to an idiot.
"But there is a Princess right in-" The Mirage Fox was adamant about this since he wanted to retrieve all the liquid he could.
"Good Luck with that." Unfortunately for him, Aiko had no intention of going back inside the Capital. She wanted to be done with this thing since they didn't have the company of Lady Liu.
The birdie was good too, but she was scolded by Lady Liu because of her, so Aiko's opinion of her decreased sharply.
Well, she wouldn't need to worry about that any more and Lady Liu would visit her later so she would just apologise again for that, but her intentions were pure!
Aiko munched on more snacks before washing her hands off of the grease.
Her and her team climbed up a tree and went to sleep.
The Mirage Fox's lips twitched. They were like bandits or savages, nobody would sleep like that.
He pulled a bed out of his storage ring and placed it down. The Shadow Passion blushed and fidgeted, but the Mirage Fox didn't invite her.
She was confused and he rolled his eyes.
'We can't do it in front of them. We need to stay like this so that they trust us more.' The Mirage Fox said with a neutral expression.
Her face hardened. He would always whisper her sweet things into her ear as he fucked her, but now he rejected her? She was upset.
'So you can fuck them?' Her lips tightened.
'Yes, since it seems like the Vicious Cub is mostly immune to my Divine Ability.' The Mirage Fox explained his reasoning, but she didn't listen to his words after the word 'yes'.
Her mind was blank, she felt awful that she was just thrown aside like this.
She stood up and turned around, ready to leave.
The Mirage Fox saw the signs and also stood up, embracing her from behind.
'It's only a temporary thing, you are always the number one for me.' The Mirage Fox whispered, but unfortunately for him, this time it didn't work on her.
'Let me go, someone needs to guard throughout the night.' The Shadow Passion tried to wiggle out of his embrace, but she was unable to... her body was quickly heating up.
"Get a room! And far away from here!" Aiko shouted at them and her team giggled.
She was so ruthless, but it was expected since they were disturbing them from their sleep.
"There is nothing going on." The Shadow Passion said and she finally wiggled out of his claws.
Aiko glared at the Mirage Fox. "Go into the city and fuck there, but don't disturb others, that are trying to sleep or do their job!" Aiko didn't glare at the Shadow Passion since she spoke gently towards her.
There was a great change in behaviour from their first encounter, so Aiko thought that there was something going on...
But she didn't know what exactly, so she didn't dwell on it too much and reprimanded only that male Fox.
"Now shoo, shoo." Aiko shooed the Mirage Fox, since he had an unsightly expression.
That was not the option here as the Mirage Fox needed to charm them, but if he couldn't follow their pace they would lose them soon...
...
Aiko had made great progress, as she ran for multiple days before stopping.
"Let's camp here~" Aiko hummed as her tail waggled. She was happy since there was a pond nearby and the place was a peaceful meadow.
"Very well." The Umbra Fox followed suit.
One gathered the branches, another lit the fire and the last one prepared snacks.
They ate happily, not concerned about the Mirage Fox's team, since Aiko had the same attitude.
It took them until the middle of the night to come to the camp.
All of them were wheezing. The least wheezing one was the Shadow Passion and the most was the fatty.
It also seemed like he lost quite a bit of weight from the tempo.
Aiko nodded at them. "You can have the fire now, since we are going to sleep~" She hummed. "Tomorrow we will continue once again."
"Huh?" The Mirage Fox couldn't believe his ears. "We are not having a rest day?"
Aiko rolled her eyes. "We are on a mission." She snorted at him. "No way, we can have a rest until we are finished."
Let's ignore the fact that Aiko played with Lady Liu for so many days before, since right now there was nothing fun to do...
The Mirage Fox was quite pent-up at this point and needed some relief.
"We should check the perimeter. Fa-" The Mirage Fox coughed, he almost called Gluttonous Fox Fatty... Vicious Fox's word clearly having an impact on him, this will be a headache over time...
The Shadow Passion wanted to reject him, but once he wrapped his fingers around her, she couldn't resist him.
Aiko shook her head, she couldn't understand what was going on with them. At one point the Shadow Passion was upset, but at another, she was as meek as a sheep...
Aiko couldn't be bothered to figure it out since she was tired and that was a good thing.
[Your [Soul Palace: Developing 1m3] is developing at greater speed!]
If she is tired, her Soul Palace will develop much faster, which was perfect~!
Aiko happily went to sleep, expecting a good harvest tomorrow morning...
...
The morning came, but Aiko was upset. Her [Soul Palace] did not develop. It didn't improve, it didn't change, nothing happened to it.
Meanwhile, the shitty Mirage Fox was sleeping happily instead of contributing to her sleep.
Aiko got up with a bucket in her hand. She slowly gathered the coldest water and dumped it on him.
"AAAAAH!" The Mirage Fox jumped out of his bed. "What the f-" He stopped his words since he felt a chill down his spine from the Vicious Cub's gaze.
"Pack up, we are leaving soon." Aiko said grumpily. She couldn't believe that her [Soul Palace] didn't improve! But there was a lot less time she was able to make it develop... no, it's the fault of this impotent Mirage Fox!
Aiko would train him well so she could develop her Divine Ability.
That didn't mean she would slow down during her travel, she would just roast him until her [Soul Palace] developed. She was strong and while he felt intimidating, there was this odd feeling that he couldn't truly hurt her.
Aiko would use this feeling and her instincts to make him upset in order to get targeted by that strange... strangeness, that made her stronger.
'Developed [Soul Palace] that I can turn into my home...' Aiko really desired it since there were too many noises during her sleep and it would be nice to just get away from all of that!
Aiko nodded to herself and her brilliant plan before dashing deeper into the forest.
The Shadow Passion had a hard time standing, but still did her best to clean her stuff at least. The Gluttonous Fox was constantly whining that he didn't get anything to eat, but both of them were ignored by the enraged Mirage Fox...
