"Multiple Beast Cores, huh?" Chen Shi's entire face twitched at those simple words.

"Yeah." Moon Aiko nodded her head. 'After that Treasure was made, everything inside my body calmed down again, so I don't really need more Beast Cores...'

"You think they grow on trees?" Chen Shi's face twitched even more. How absurd he thought Aiko was, yet she shattered that absurdity in the next instance even more!

"They don't?" Moon Aiko stuck out her tongue. She could grow a few Beast Cores, but their price for creation was too steep...

"You-" Chen Shi had to hold himself back so that he would not spit out blood again.

His internal organs were still not completely healed, thanks to this ridiculous Fox!

"What's wrong? Need a hug?" Moon Aiko smiled at him innocently, which infuriated him even more.

The Demonic Saintess thought she was watching comedy, but unfortunately, all the snacks were stored inside Aiko's tails, so she couldn't munch on anything.

"Don't look at me like that!" Moon Aiko suddenly turned around. "We will have to have a talk about stealing my snacks!" She narrowed her eyes at the Demonic Saintess.

"I didn't steal anything!" The Demonic Saintess pouted.

"That is yet to be seen." Moon Aiko narrowed her eyes.

"You are a bully." The Demonic Saintess pouted at her.

Chen Shi recovered from that absurd situation and coughed.

"What is it this time?" Moon Aiko asked in advance, since it seemed like whenever Chen Shi wanted something, he would always let the world know about it.

"Rude." Chen Shi clicked his tongue and threw something towards Aiko.

"This?" Moon Aiko checked the Token.

[Blank Inscription Ancestor Token]

"Why is it blank?" Moon Aiko tilted her head. "And shouldn't there be some kind of test?" She narrowed her eyes at Chen Shi.

"You want to kill off all my Elders?!" Chen Shi glared at her.

"Who says I would kill them?!" Moon Aiko defended herself.

"Who says you wouldn't?! You almost killed me!" Chen Shi snorted with a frowning face.

"Almost doesn't count!" Moon Aiko crossed her arms.

Chen Shi almost coughed up blood again. It seemed like he would no longer be safe here.

"Tell me if that shit works, I'm leaving!" Chen Shi left before even explaining what the blank card meant.

"Weird..." Moon Aiko tilted her head before turning towards the Demonic Saintess.

The Demonic Saintess instinctively jumped. "W-what is it?"

"Suspicious..." Moon Aiko narrowed her eyes as she observed the Demonic Saintess closely.

The Demonic Saintess pursed her lips and looked away from Aiko like her life depended on it.

"Oh, right." Moon Aiko gently slapped her fist into her palm. "How do you feel?"

"This is a nice Treasure." The Demonic Saintess nodded her head. "But it's very slow, even if it's painless."

"It's indeed slow, but at least you will be able to walk in this Mortal World again." Moon Aiko nodded her head slowly.

"As true as that might be, it's still too long a time away." The Demonic Saintess shook her head.

"You want me to speed it up?" Moon Aiko looked at her incredulously. "You think I'm some kind of Sage?"

"Are you not?" The Demonic Saintess cutely and innocently tilted her head.

"I'm not." Moon Aiko shook her head. Other Aikos might've liked that idea, but not Moon Aiko.

"I believe in you." The Demonic Saintess said that, as if she were already convinced it was possible.

"Just that doesn't mean I will be able to do it." Moon Aiko took a step back, feeling pressure from that soft and cute gaze.

"You can do it!" Her eyes sparkled at Aiko.

*Ugh*

"Did anyone tell you that you are annoying?" Moon Aiko flinched from her expectations.

"That's one of the requirements you need to have to become a 'Saint'." The Demonic Saintess said proudly.

"What the f-" Moon Aiko just barely stopped herself. "Are there requirements for this shi- stuff?"

"Obviously." The Demonic Saintess smiled. "Why do you think there are so few Saints?"

"Because there are not enough powerful Cultivators?" Moon Aiko tilted her head cutely.

"No." The Demonic Saintess shook her head. "You need more than just strength to reach the 'Saint' rank."

"To begin with, there are many powerful Cultivators that are not known. That's because it comes at a price, so most of them would hide away until they ascended." The Demonic Saintess explained to Aiko.

"As such, there are many requirements to fulfil in order to reach it. One is an indomitable spirit, since you would be challenged day in and day out by other Cultivators, especially those wandering bastards." Her fists shook like she was furious.

"As such, without a good spirit, you would just break after a few dozen fights, much less if it’s hundreds." The Demonic Saintess shrugged.

"Is that how it works?" Moon Aiko narrowed her eyes.

"You are not allowed to kill them." The Demonic Saintess added.

"Tsk." Moon Aiko clicked her tongue. "But wouldn't that mean they would return once they are healed?"

"Exactly, that's where the indomitable spirit comes in." The Demonic Saintess shrugged.

"I will never become one." Moon Aiko nodded her head like she was sure of it.

"You will become one, one day." The Demonic Saintess giggled.

"Don't jinx it, or I will spank you!" Moon Aiko shuddered at the thought of becoming a 'Saint'. "There is no way I won't pole the bastard who will give me that title!" She swore on that, since she didn't really want that kind of troublesome thing.

"You seem convinced that you will be able to avoid it." The Demonic Saintess giggled.

"I will spank you right now if you won't stop agitating me." Moon Aiko glared at her, but the Demonic Saintess had already shrunk back.

Seeing Danji staring daggers at her, it seemed like she would be the first one to 'greet' the Demonic Saintess.

'She was not this strong when she popped into our place...' The Demonic Saintess gulped nervously. Everyone around Aiko was becoming more and more monstrous over time.

"Do you not hear any voices?" The Demonic Saintess was quite curious about that part.

"I don't believe I will be able to hear them any longer." Danji chuckled sinisterly.

After being connected to Aiko, those bastards were long gone. Like they were terrified of her.

"You are lucky." The Demonic Saintess clicked her tongue. "I can barely hear them, but they are trying it." She was happier inside the Sacred Realm.

Moon Aiko patted her. "Is it that bad?"

"No, it's fine." The Demonic Saintess could hear them squeak away when Aiko touched her, so this was a good sign that they were terrified by this Fox.

"..." Moon Aiko wondered if she had some kind of abnormal powers...

"As long as you are good." Moon Aiko nodded her head. "The next step is... Take this disc into the storage and try to use it there. There should be some Spirit Stones, which can be used to power this thingy." She explained how to operate it for the Demonic Saintess.

"Okay, I will go and test it." The Demonic Saintess nodded her head.

Once the Demonic Saintess was stuffed into Aiko's tails, Danji asked softly. "Is that alright?"

"Why wouldn't it be?" Moon Aiko tilted her head.

"While it is not as important right now. Spirit Stones are still a precious material and currency." Danji was worried that Aiko might go broke.

"Hmmm..." Moon Aiko paused for a moment. "We will be returning to the Fox Village, so we can rob more Spirit Stones from those who want to use the Massage Chair." She shrugged like it was not her issue.

"..." Danji pursed her lips, but a sly smile still bloomed. "That makes sense."

"Although it will be a pain in the ass to repair." Moon Aiko couldn't really bring Chen Shi with her, since the Fox Village was already in uproar.

"Do they still believe you are dead?" Danji tilted her head.

"I believe so, but they might be puzzled how Mei got another mate without moving." Moon Aiko shrugged. That issue was not big enough that she needed to care about it, but she should still be careful when moving around.

"You should improve your Illusions." Danji narrowed her eyes.

"I know." Moon Aiko groaned unhappily. There was a need to improve so many things that she just wanted to sleep and forget it.

"Will we return soon?" Danji sighed softly.

"I don't know yet. I will try to contact Mei and see how it goes." Moon Aiko shook her head. It was uncertain if they stayed here or not.

"That makes sense. The Fox Village was already not doing well when I went outside, so they are probably in a worse state now." Danji shook her head.

"What happened?" Moon Aiko tilted her head.

"Apparently..." Danji paused her thoughts. She was considering whether she should tell Aiko, since this Aiko might use it on Mei...

"Apparently, they are fighting over a beautiful tree." Danji didn't know much more than that, just that the tree was beautiful and important.

"Over a tree?" Moon Aiko stared at Danji speechlessly. "Why tree out of all things??" She couldn't understand those Foxes at all.

"I have no idea. Apparently, its leaves can be used for some kind of Tea, but that's all I know." Danji shook her head.

"Tea, huh..." Moon Aiko shook her head. "I would understand alcohol, since they loved their wines, but tea?"

"Tea is drunk in litres, too." Danji corrected Aiko. "It's just not as treasured as the wine." She shrugged.

"Wine or tea?" Moon Aiko asked Danji.

"Tea, but wine is good occasionally." Danji nodded seriously.

"That was a quick decision." Moon Aiko was startled.

"There is no need to overthink things. Tea is better for drinking since it doesn't cloud your judgement... most of the time." Danji coughed awkwardly.

"I smell a juicy story." Moon Aiko's ears were picking up on something juicy, so they snipped happily.

"No story for you." Danji pouted. This story would definitely be used against her later, so it was not 'right' to tell it right now!

"Cheap." Moon Aiko pouted. "I should get the information on this blank token, since I have no idea why it doesn't have any colour or anything."

"Could it be a special rank?" Danji covered her mouth with her sleeve.

"Special one?" Moon Aiko turned around.

"Yeah." Danji nodded her head. "It might be, because your achievement is too great, they can't really slap you under any 'colour', so they gave you blank?"

"Then why not just give me a higher rank?" Moon Aiko tilted her head.

"Could it be that the next rank needs something special too?" Danji suggested that might be the reason.

"That sounds ridiculous, but it's not like Chen Shi wouldn't think this through..." Moon Aiko shook her head, but this would make sense.

"I will just ask him." Moon Aiko nodded her head a few times before standing up...
