Chapter 278 – Aiko against the Foxes
The next day the business was even worse in terms of the size of the crowd, however, their attitude changed abruptly.
'They are ignoring me?' Aiko peeked behind the counter. She got a few glances, but they soon ignored her. 'What is happening?'
Mei was likewise impressed. She didn't expect that the muscular Foxes would be able to keep their gazes in check.
Aiko didn't walk around, but kept staring at them. Some started to sweat, others' bodies started to twitch. It was a strange sight...
"What are they doing?" Aiko whispered. She was unaware of the special discount that Mei spread secretly.
"Maybe they don't like you?" Mei teased Aiko.
"That is fine." Aiko had nothing against it. The more she would be liked, the more trouble it would bring.
Take for example the first day. There were male Foxes going around hand to hand with female Foxes, but at the same time, they were followed by an angry mob.
Some glared at them, others were sharpening their knives. It was not a good sight...
Aiko didn't like being followed. She didn't like unnecessary attention. Sure, she did things at her own pace, but that usually didn't attract that much attention... or at least Aiko thought.
...
The coming days were spent peacefully. They were racking in a lot of Spirit Stones, some were even willing to pay extra just to skip the line, but for some reason, Mei didn't accept that.
Aiko didn't understand why she would accept additional Spirit Stones, since Mei seemed to need them a lot.
Unfortunately, Mei told her to think about it by herself.
Aiko did not understand why Mei couldn't just answer her and was sulking.
Mei only shook her head and returned to the customer service. There were more and more Foxes coming, so she was even busier.
...
A month passed like it was nothing and this was the first time Aiko went from behind the counter to stroll around the Jelly Foxes.
Their muscles were not as wiggly or intimidating, as they felt more like jellies.
Aiko came close to one muscular Fox and stared at him. She kept staring and staring, but no one paid attention. This was a good thing, a thing that Aiko liked.
She kept staring for a while before she decided to poke those jelly muscles.
*Poke Poke*
*Twitch Twitch*
The muscles twitched suddenly, startling Aiko. She immediately dashed behind the counter and glared at those muscles.
Mei had to use her inner energy to not laugh and the surrounding muscular Foxes were curious about what happened, but they didn't look over.
All kinds of discounts are good discounts. They got discounts just from Foxes touching their muscles or posing for a while. Those were harmless things that brought them the most benefit.
Likewise, the current discount was of great use to them as they spend a lot of money here, but all they had to do was just not stare and ignore a small Fox.
They didn't understand why the Jade Fox made such a discount, but it didn't seem like they were on bad terms, so the muscular Foxes naturally took her up on the offer.
They could enjoy cheaper massages, while not harming anyone. The latter part was important for them. They were unlike any other Foxes. They would stand by their belief... until an accident happened.
...
A month later there were some impatient muscular Foxes. They wanted to improve even more after they experienced the magic of the Massage Chair. It could not compare to the Heavenly Massage Parlour at all!
That Fox knocked on the door with force. He wanted to use the Massage Chair as soon as possible so that he could improve faster than his peers.
Silence spread throughout the surroundings. Everyone glared at the impatient Fox.
Some made throat-cutting motions, others gestured for him to head outside.
The muscular Foxes could not fight in here. They didn't know how much this beautiful and peaceful garden cost, moreover if they displease that Gorgeous Fox again... They can't miss another day of training...
...
Aiko went to bed yet again. It was bothersome to move in these clothes since they were not loose enough. Mei would naturally not allow her to take them off, so she was sulking, while lying down.
Mei likewise hugged Aiko, but in a way that Aiko would not be able to smother her with her boobs.
She sighed gently. It was much easier to keep the small Aiko around than the big one...
...
The day was peaceful, except for the strange grunts and sounds outside, but neither of them paid any attention to it.
"So you really did make fun of me?!" Aiko cried out.
Mei laughed, but at the same time felt like she wronged Aiko. Seeing her teary eyes, she started to feel really bad.
"Teaching the Cleaning Technique is easier if I'm supervising you, so that I can prevent any dangers." Mei said honestly. "You were too enthusiastic and I didn't have much time, so I wanted to keep you busy until I had time."
Aiko pouted. "I don't want it now." She was really grumpy about this whole thing and it was also justified. Mei made fun of her.
"I will cook you something nice, so forgive me?" Mei made fox-like innocent eyes as Aiko would always do.
"Guh. This is unfair!" Aiko was even more grumpy.
"We will have more time soon. So I will teach you everything you want. Okay?" Mei smiled gently.
Aiko didn't want to be outdone by Mei. "In that case, you better teach me how to extract Souls the natural way~" Aiko smirked at Mei.
Mei's hand that was caressing Aiko's head stiffened. Seeing her having that mischievous grin, she grumbled unhappily.
"You really don't like me." Mei sighed.
"If you make fun of me, it's only natural." Aiko snorted.
Mei kept petting Aiko gently. She would have to change Aiko's mind about-
"Or you can help me with [Dual Yin Cultivation Scripture]." Aiko threw another jab Mei's way.
Mei shrunk like she sustained a heavy blow and 'glared' at Aiko.
Aiko shrugged innocently, sipping the delicious tea.
...
{At the Grandmaster's abode}
"They are still not back..." The Blood Fox narrowed her eyes.
"Now I understand why you are so obsessed." Wanshu said. She could feel the voices slowly returning over time.
Wanshu also no longer minded why Yuxi was seeking Aiko so much, it was for everyone's development to keep Aiko close.
"She started a business and the Grandmaster is still away for half a month." Yuxi said. She didn't hear those voices, but could feel Wanshu's restlessness.
She would kidnap Aiko soon, so that her partner would be safe. Of course, she would cuddle and spoil Aiko as much as possible with the help of the Blood Fox.
"I believe it's the time to visit the business. We have trained too much." The Blood Fox suddenly said.
This would be a good idea to change the pace and rest for a bit. Training all the time was unhealthy after all...
