Chapter 106 – The Blood Fox

They arrived in front of the Blood Fox's house. It was partially torn down from her aggression, but that was fine since it serves as another good training grounds for the Earth/Nature Foxes to rebuild the houses while the Forge Foxes were able to treat it as a good testing site to test the durability of their creations.

Grandpa Lin opened the doors and dodged sideways.

The Blood Fox jumped at his throat, but because he stepped sideways, she crashed into a nearby tree.

She already had partially equipped Blood Armour and thus was uninjured from the impact.

"Grrrrrrr" The Blood Fox growled at Elder Punisher.

Elder Punisher didn't move and stared at her.

"Sis..." Zhi spoke gently and his sister snapped at him.

"Grrr" A startled growl escaped her lips.

Zhi stared at his beautiful Sister with a pained heart. 'I have to protect her from the lechers before she regains her senses again.' He thought, silently dodging his Sis's charge, but still using part of his body to slow her down, so she doesn't accidentally injure herself.

Grandpa Lin let them do their thing again, but he was also thinking slowly. 'If I bring her now she will surely attack my pupil... if that happens I will have more reasons to send her back and she would choose some other normal Fox.'

Grandpa Lin nodded a few times at his plan and made his move.

He struck the Passion Fox on the back of her neck, putting her to sleep.

"Elder Punisher?!" Zhi cried out, he didn't expect the Elder Punisher to be so ruthless.

"I'm doing it for the sake of both of you." Grandpa Lin glanced at Zhi. "If she is in this state she will surely attack my disciple, thus I will be able to immediately send her back."

Zhi was startled, he was frowning but still nodded. "Thank you, Elder Punisher." He didn't like his Sis being struck, but if it was for this kind of plan... then he agreed reluctantly.

"Elder Punisher..." Zhi hesitated to speak.

"What is it little Zhi?" Grandpa Lin glanced at him gently.

"May I come with you?" Zhi asked.

Elder Punisher frowned. "You know where I'm going."

"The Shadows Peak." Zhi bowed and said the secret word.

"I see..." Grandpa Lin nodded. "Since you are worthy." He beckoned Zhi.

Zhi was happy and came closer to Elder Punisher.

...

Grandpa Lin appeared whilst Aiko was chatting with the Umbra Fox.

She noticed that the Umbra Fox was very interesting. Even if Aiko got close to her, the Umbra Fox only blushed but didn't take this opportunity to touch her.

Aiko liked this and her appreciation for Umbra Fox rose sharply.

"Grandpa Lin." Aiko smiled, but she stiffened. "Is she alright?!"

Zhi was behind the Elder Punisher, hiding himself so that he wasn't immediately exposed, so that he could gauge the rapist who wanted his Sister.

He was startled, her addressing the Elder Punisher as Grandpa Lin was unheard of, but what startled him more was how worried that voice sounded.

He had very sharp ears that allowed him to gauge the emotions of other Foxes. Naturally, he knew that this Fox was really concerned about his Sister and he had mixed emotions.

"She is just asleep, it needs to be done when you are transferring them." Grandpa Lin said gently.

Zhi rolled his eyes at this blatant lie but didn't say anything.

"Oh..." Aiko frowned. "And who is the one behind you?" Aiko asked gently but didn't move from her place as she felt strange energy trying to gauge her. She didn't like that.

Grandpa Lin smiled, placing the Passion Fox down. "This is Zhi-..."

Grandpa Lin stepped aside to introduce him, but Aiko ignored him as she went to Blood Fox.

Aiko tested if she was still alive and then she looked around her body to see if she was injured.

Grandpa Lin's lips twitched, similarly, Zhi frowned. This little wretched whore didn't give him any face and was more interested in his Sis.

Aiko touched her ring and several Spirit Crystals appeared and fell on the ground.

All of them widened their eyes. It looked like their eyes would pop out of their sockets as everyone present could feel the powerful energy inside those Crystals.

Aiko arranged them as bedding and moved Blood Fox carefully on it.

Zhi frowned. 'So she is not just a whore, but a wealthy whore! Good, good!' Zhi glared at the little Fox but was still ignored.

Aiko arranged the Blood Fox and sat near her so she could question her once she woke up. 'No way, that Grandpa Lin didn't do anything to her, he is an Assassin and Elder.'

Aiko stared at Grandpa Lin with suspicion, startling him.

"I have really not done anything to her." He defended himself.

"That's what all guilty people say!" Aiko retorted.

Grandpa Lin's brows twitched, but Zhi almost let out a chuckle. He had a lot on his mind and he wanted to scold the Elder Punisher for doing that to his sister, but this situation made him happy. The image of this little Fox improved ever so slightly in his mind.

Grandpa Lin said. "Don't be angry, don't be angry. It needed to be done."

"You could've placed her slowly and gently!" Aiko glared.

Grandpa Lin was flabbergasted at her protectiveness. "Is she that good?!" He didn't believe that the little Vicious Fox would be so protective after he gathered all the rumours about her.

"Best! She easily contended with mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator!" Aiko stomped her feet.

Zhi's lips twitched. 'My Sis is indeed the best- Wait no! I won't be swayed.' He glared at the little Fox.

They bickered for a while.

...

'Where am I...?' The Blood Fox was confused, since below her was something very warm and nice, but also hard.

Her mind was muddled, but she still felt strange possessiveness towards her right.

She took a peek, only to widen her eyes.

Her eyes, previously of bloody red colour that gave a feeling of murder, were changed into completely vibrant red.

As Aiko was bickering with Grandpa Lin, she noticed their panicked expression, but before she could understand anything she was hugged from behind.

*Whimper*

Aiko was startled by that noise.

The Blood fox was hugging Aiko's thin waist and rubbing her face into the crook of Aiko's neck.

*Whimper*

She heard another whimper and Aiko's mind was confused.

"It's alright." Aiko petted the Blood Fox, she didn't understand why, but seeing the Blood Fox rub her head into her palms and body, she felt strange.

"Uhhhh..." Aiko looked at Grandpa Lin in confusion, but she only got the shocked expression from all of them.

Aiko blushed slightly, she didn't understand what was happening and felt strange when everyone was looking at her with such shocked and confused expressions.

Zhi glared at the little Fox fiercely. "What have you done to my Sister, you filthy whore!" Zhi's mind blanked and he said his innermost thoughts out loud.

Grandpa Lin staggered when he heard the outwardly gentle Zhi say that and looked at him flabbergasted.

Zhi realized that his thoughts leaked, but he didn't stop glaring.

*Grrrrrrr*

The Blood Fox growled at her brother. "Bad!"

"Huh?" Zhi was taken aback.

"Bad!" The Blood Fox repeated it.

"Yes." Zhi drooped his head low.

Aiko was completely bewildered. Grandpa Lin was likewise completely stunned.

'The Passion Fox didn't attack her?' Grandpa Lin didn't understand what was happening. 'She also seems docile in her presence...? Wait her eyes!'

Grandpa Lin could already guess most Demonic Foxes' disposition from their eyes.

'They are back to their vibrant red colour!' He stared with interest.

Zhi said hesitantly. "Sis... Foxes are bad."

"Be quiet brother." The Blood Fox glanced at him, but soon closed her eyes and snuggled to the Vicious Cub.

Aiko was puzzled and looked at the Blood Fox's brother. "You are her brother?"

Zhi listened to her soothing voice, but soon snapped out of it. 'Voice seduction! This bitch!'

He couldn't glare at Aiko since he would make his Sis angry, but that didn't mean he would take it lying down.

"I would appreciate it if you returned my Sis." Zhi spoke firmly.

"No." Aiko said firmly but was overshadowed by the Blood Fox who was leaning on her. "No!"

Zhi was startled and staggered backwards. "Sis! She is deceiving you."

"Brother." The Blood Fox growled. She finally didn't hear those voices, yet her brother tried to take her away!? Keep dreaming!

Seeing the sharp and unkind gaze, Zhi could only shift his gaze and curse, but then he thought. 'I finally got my hands on an artefact that guards the mind.'

Zhi pulled the artefact, it was a bracelet and Grandpa Lin also understood what he wanted to do.

"Passion Fox, before we talk could you put this on." Grandpa Lin glanced at the bracelet.

"Why am I even here?" The Blood Fox didn't accept immediately.

"Because I wanted you in my team." Aiko patted her chest. "You are a perfect hand-to-hand fighter!" Aiko beamed, charming everyone present for a moment.

The Blood Fox paused, snuggling herself, thinking with closed eyes.

"How would that work." The Blood Fox stared at Elder Punisher.

Grandpa Lin was still taken aback. "First please put on this bracelet and then we will talk." He still needed to know if it was just a charm or what was really happening here.

The Blood Fox stared at the bracelet. "What does that bracelet do."

Grandpa Lin didn't want to answer, but he didn't expect Zhi to answer enthusiastically.

"It blocks mind interference, charms and those sorts of things." Zhi answered his Sis.

The Blood Fox nodded. "If I don't like it, I will take it off."

Zhi was pleased. This meant that the charm didn't take completely over her.

He handed his Sis the bracelet and took a step back.

The Blood Fox fiddled with the bracelet and placed it on her hand.

"..." The Blood Fox stared at it blankly.

"..." The others stared at the Blood Fox, but Zhi was the first one to talk.

"Now you know, Sis, that this bitch is trying-" Zhi couldn't finish it when a bracelet struck his head.

*Ding*

It naturally didn't hurt him as he was much stronger than his Sis, but he was still confused. "Sis?"

"I don't like it." The Blood Fox shook her head.

Zhi saw his Sis's strange behaviour. "What's wrong?"

"It makes me feel bad." The Blood Fox answered truthfully, as she felt a bit bad for hitting her brother.

"What kind of bad?" Zhi was sober and noticed the changing expressions when she placed it on, it was barely noticeable, but her eyes gave her away now.

"It's trying to seduce me." The Blood Fox shivered, hugging the little Fox strongly.

"Gentle, gentle, too strong." Aiko caressed the Blood Fox's head to calm her down.

The Blood Fox's ears drooped down. "Sorry..." It was barely audible, but everyone heard it.

"It's fine, just don't squish me too hard." Aiko didn't mind.

Meanwhile, Zhi was staring at the bracelet, then he put it on.

'Oh, how wonderful, another cute boy~'

He glanced at his Sis. "I'm sorry." Zhi bowed to his Sis and took off the bracelet.

He used his strength and his arms bulged.

"Aaa! You are going to break it!" A voice screamed from the bracelet and Grandpa Lin had a solemn expression.

Zhi didn't wait for the voice and exerted his full strength.

*Crack**Crack*

He completely crushed the bracelet and grabbed that lecherous Soul.

Zhi was already used to Souls, so it was impossible for the Soul to escape.

He grabbed that Soul with both hands and started to stretch it.

The Soul screamed out loud until a crisp pop drifted from it.

The Soul was split into two parts.

He didn't stop there. He took those two parts of Soul and stretched them again until two crisp pops spread from it.

Not only that, but he did it several times until the Soul was in small bits and pieces that leaked white smoke.

Zhi let them leak until they completely vanished.

He came close to his Sis. "I'm so sorry..."

He believed that person a bit too much and that almost caused his Sis to be possessed...

Seeing her remorseful brother, the Blood Fox was gentle. "It's fine." She snuggled the little Fox and meditated.

Aiko felt awkward... she felt like she was invisible. One was using her as soft bedding, while the other one was apprehending her.

'Why me...' Aiko cried out in her mind.
