Chapter 278 – Aiko against the Foxes
The next day arrived and 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 wouldn't 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 not stare and just 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.
"Stop that." The Muscular Fox glared at him.
"We all want to go inside, but be patient." Another Fox chimed in.
The impatient Fox clicked his tongue. "Don't you want to experience that heavenly sensation again?!"
"We all do, but we will all wait, don't make me stand-" The Muscular Fox was about to pacify the impatient Fox, but the doors opened slightly.
An absolutely gorgeous Fox was standing there. Her clothes were messy and she was rubbing her eyes. It was obvious she had just woken from sleep.
These days Mei and Aiko did not return to the Grandmaster's abode since they were too exhausted and the line never shortened.
Aiko was also upset that Mei was working too hard, so she would drag Mei each night to bed so that she would sleep.
"The sun is not yet up, why are you knocking..." Aiko was too exhausted to even make it as a question. She yawned at the stunned, impatient Fox.
A sweet scent spread to the surroundings, rousing everyone to stand up.
She was a gorgeous Fox, their minds clouded.
Suddenly, a voice snapped them out of their daze.
"What are you doing outside?" It was a chilly voice and immediately made them sit.
"They were beating on the door." Aiko yawned again as hands wrapped around her waist. It was Mei who was hugging Aiko.
Mei started to slowly love Aiko's scent as it allowed her to sleep like a brick during the late nights.
She was able to work more efficiently and be of better help, all thanks to Aiko.
That is not to say that she still didn't like Aiko's big form. She felt pressured whenever Aiko would hug her face and bury her in her bosom.
She didn't like that part of Aiko...
"They will have to wait, let's go inside." Mei said gently, nuzzling Aiko. This scent was truly addictive.
"Let's do that. We have a free day." Aiko yawned.
The Foxes suddenly paid a lot of attention to their words. They were no longer surprised by their beauty... Well, they were, but those words were more shocking than their beauty.
"F-free day?" One muscular Fox asked.
Mei also paid close attention to what Aiko would say.
"Of course. We will sleep and laze around." Aiko yawned again. "After all. Those that don't let us rest, don't deserve to use our Massage Chairs." Aiko added. She almost dozed to sleep standing.
The Foxes were shocked and their minds jostled. They immediately stood up and wanted to raise an objection, but Mei raised her hand, silencing them before they could say anything.
"Is it unfair?" Mei chuckled sinisterly. "Then what were the other Foxes doing when he was causing a ruckus?" Mei stared at them, but none other than the Muscular Fox met her gaze.
"As such, I believe it's a fitting punishment for not letting us rest." Mei was not bothered by money any more. In ten days they were able to bring around 150,000 Spirit Stones.
It has already been a month and a half. They didn't need to work as hard. They were the ones dictating the rules, as they had service that couldn't be replaced...
The Foxes glared, but not at the Jade Fox or this Gorgeous Fox. They glared at the impatient Fox.
The Jade Fox slowly closed the doors. Dragging Aiko away. With a final thud, the doors closed.
The atmosphere immediately worsened. They all stared at the impatient Fox like he was a mortal enemy.
They were already cracking their knuckles, ready to beat him up.
The doors suddenly opened. "Oh, and if you destroy anything around here, keep in mind that you will pay for it before you can use our service." Mei smirked at them. This would allow her to drive them away, so that they can sleep peacefully.
The doors closed once again.
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 stared with a fox-like innocent gaze; the same one that 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...
