Chapter 238 – Journey to the Last Capital

Aiko kept staring at Umbra and Shadow Passion in suspicion.

"They had sex." The Blood Fox suddenly said. Umbra glared at her with wet eyes.

"Huh?" Above Aiko's head appeared a big question mark.

"They liked each other, so they had sex." The Blood Fox repeated.

"But they knew each other for very little time." Aiko pointed at her biggest issue right away.

The Blood Fox kept her lips pursed, now it was time for Umbra to keep the conversation going.

But only silence spread through the area.

Aiko's ears twitched as she looked between her teammates and then toward the Shadow Passion.

"So when will you have babies?" Aiko suddenly spat, making everyone choke, the Shadow Passion was not an exception to this...

The Blood Fox was the first one to calm down, but she had no intention of answering that as her face burned red from her imagination.

Umbra and Shadow Passion were no different, since they never did it and will never do it with that thought in mind.

They were of the same sex, so it would be difficult to have babies.

Aiko observed the absurd expression and continued. "And here I thought you were a male for a second." Aiko narrowed her eyes at Shadow Passion.

Wanshu was completely speechless. "I'm not!" She suddenly spat out. She never felt so embarrassed about something so simple in her entire life!

"Hmmm..." Aiko munched on another piece of meat, while enjoying others' discomfort.

"You were gentle with her right?" Aiko asked Umbra.

"Why are you asking me, Mistress?!" Umbra felt wronged. "I'm not a Demonic Fox!" She cried out.

Wanshu enjoyed Umbra's expression even more and wanted to praise Aiko, but if she did, she would probably get reprimanded by Umbra...

"You are in a team where asses are skewered, it's only natural you also pick that habit." Aiko shook her head.

She gently bowed towards Shadow Passion. "I apologise if she was rough with your butt."

"Mistress!" Umbra cried out even more, her face was burning deep red from embarrassment.

Wanshu laughed at this, she was the one who bullied Umbra, but the situation that Aiko portrayed was the complete opposite.

She gently swayed Umbra, so that she could give her a peck on her embarrassed cheeks. The more she knew about this team, the less inclined she was to get back, but at the same time, she knew that it was impossible to join this team.

In the history of the Shadow Peak, there was no team with 4 members. There were joined teams, but not a single team with more than 3 members.

Most teams only consist of two. This helps with reproduction and finding partners in such an oversized Fox Village.

Some have two partners in a team, but that's rare as even teams consisting of 3 members are extremely rare.

Aiko rolled her eyes. "Since you are so lovey-dovey we will be speeding things up. I don't like spending my time inside a Forest." Aiko snorted unhappily, everyone had some kind of toy that entertained them, but Aiko's toys required a lot of mental capacity and focus, which was not ideal in a hostile Forest.

She also got 'bouncier' like her Umbra, she felt more energetic and less sleepy, which was a nice bonus.

Umbra... did not appreciate it as much, since she worried that their time alone would drain her too much...

Aiko lifted her head and stared at the duo. "I will approach the city in the coming days to scout." She had a strange feeling inside her heart.

"We can come with you." The Blood Fox gently nudged Aiko.

"No, I will explore alone. Something feels off." Aiko didn't believe that they could afford to keep the whole city lit up all the time. That light also caused shadows to retreat, which meant there would be a lot fewer places where they could hide...

"As you wish, Mistress." Umbra sighed. She might be tormented by Wanshu when Aiko is not around. She did not mind it, but there is a time and place for everything!

Aiko nodded happily, it was a good thing that her team listened to her.

"Why don't you just order them?" Wanshu did not understand why the little Fox never used the order function.

"Why would I need to order them?" Aiko tilted her head, not understanding Wanshu.

"By ordering them you will know that they will stay here?" Wanshu gave it as a question since she noticed others looking at her strangely.

"If they say that they will stay here, they will stay here." Aiko shook her head. "Moreover, I'm not making them do anything they dislike, so I believe they will listen to me." Aiko pointed at her team, which was happily chatting.

"Did you never use the command or order or just the function of the contract?" Wanshu asked as she was confused and curious.

"I think I did...?" Aiko didn't remember if she used those functions. "I do use the locating function since it's handy, but since they are mostly close by... even that is used rarely." She shook her head.

"Aren't you worried that they won't listen to you?" Wanshu asked this before, but she changed the meaning a bit.

"Will you listen to me?" Aiko turned towards her team, since these questions started to bother her.

""Of course, Mistress."" The duo was in sync and they also giggled in sync.

Wanshu pursed her lips. She did not understand this kind of relationship inside this team. They were too carefree and happy. There was no tension or anything that would be out of place.

They helped each other readily and they also had plenty of free time to pursue their hobbies or just rest.

Wanshu never got that amount of rest before. Well... she never felt that her body ached as much as before...

The little Fox was truly ruthless when it came to travelling and what was supposed to take almost a year, took only a few months.

Wanshu's body ached, but at the same time, she was happy about this. Why? Because now she would complete a lot more missions and get more rewards from them!

This would allow her to purchase the much-needed equipment and other things for her day-to-day life.

She also could purchase something nice for herself, which she previously couldn't.

"Anyway. I will be scouting the city and see if we can even enter." Aiko munched on the last piece of meat. "It will be more difficult for all of us to hide, so it's better if we do it like this as I'm much faster alone."

"You are indeed smaller than us." Wanshu nodded.

Aiko pouted and pinched Shadow Passion's thigh.

Wanshu pursed her lips, smiling happily. It seemed like the little Fox was starting to warm up to her.
