Chapter 646 – Hard-working Moon Aiko and satisfied Muscle Foxes

Moon Aiko walked back to the business to retrieve the Massage Chairs.

Shockingly enough, some of the Muscle Foxes were huddled together outside, as if waiting for something.

“Vicious Jade Fox.” The Muscle Foxes noticed her and immediately greeted her.

“Mhm.” Moon Aiko nodded at them before going inside.

The inside was surprisingly clear, considering how messy it was outside. Nothing was missing, and everything was still in the same place.

Moon Aiko took all the Massage Chairs from the individual rooms before leaving.

The Muscle Foxes kept looking at her, and soon one of them left. It was to spread rumours that the Massage Chairs will be functional again and soon!

…

Returning to Mei’s room, Moon Aiko took out the Massage Chairs.

Their condition was good considering how long it was and that they were at odds with the Mashed Elders.

‘I wonder if they are still cooking…’ Moon Aiko paused for a moment before disassembling the Massage Chair.

Looking through it. It seemed like only one part was being damaged, and that was a small balance gear.

This balanced the burden of the individual parts to make the massage more even, but since it controlled everything, it wore down just as quickly.

‘I didn’t want to do individual gears or group gears, since it could cause uneven massage.’ Moon Aiko frowned, but it was not like she didn’t have a solution for this.

The gear also acted as a connection where the Qi flowed, making it extra frail at higher Cultivation Stages.

The solution was simple: only reinforce the gear with the Qi flow and make separate pathways to power the rest.

There will need to be some balancing in terms of the flow, but this should be a plausible solution to make it work.

It also didn’t need to have as much work done on it, just rewiring the half-burnt Inscriptions and applying a new coat.

Moon Aiko pulled out her Cauldron to get to work. She knew that she wouldn’t be able to make perfect gear, but it also was not like the resource would be destroyed if she failed to make it perfect.

If she failed in smelting the metal, then yes, it would ruin the whole metal, but she didn’t need to worry about that part because of her metallurgy experience.

With everything prepared, Moon Aiko gets to work on the gears.

…

Iteration #34

“The object has sharp edges, causing the surrounding area to be damaged. The plausible cause is the uneven application of Divine Sense during shaping.” Moon Aiko frowned. She was not as skilled in the art of hammering as her Divine Sense, so she had to do with what she had on hand.

…

Iteration #76

“The object is almost perfect, but the uneven, deep grooves cause the Massage Chair to choke and possibly lock, making it unable to finish the massage cycle.” Moon Aiko took a note of this during her shaping of the metal, so it shouldn’t be too long before she gets the perfect gear.

…

Iteration #127

“Reached the limitation of my Divine Sense, the object is almost perfect, but there are still imperfections in the overall structure, making it not as perfect as the gear that broke. This will very likely cause constant damage to other parts, meaning I will have to reinforce those parts too.” Moon Aiko felt dissatisfied with her work, but it couldn’t be helped. This was her current limit, and she would have to make up for it with her Inscriptions.

“Moreover, [The Ever Shaping Cauldron] is poorly shaped, making refinement harder. Suggestion would be to achieve a perfect round shape and then shape the rest of the walls before trying to shape the compartments.” Moon Aiko felt like the more she worked, the more work she had to do, which she didn’t like.

But on the other hand, she quite liked experimenting like this, so as long as she saw progress, she would keep going.

“With this, I need to make 14 same gears and rewire the Inscriptions, and the Massage Chairs will be fully functional.” Moon Aiko nodded her head and immediately got to work.

“How is she doing?” Mei asked one of the Shadow Foxes that kept tailing Aiko.

“She appears to be stable and is enjoying herself by working on the Massage Chairs.” The Fox replied to both Jade Fox and the Shadows Peak Elder.

“You are too worried. She knows her body the best.” The Shadows Peak Elder nudged Mei.

“How are the rumours outside the Fox Village?” Mei narrowed her eyes.

“They are setting up a secret investigation force, but it will take at least 2 years before they get here.” The Shadows Peak Elder sighed. Mei was too rough, making her fear for Aiko’s well-being, but as long as she didn’t restrict her too much, she wouldn’t butt in.

“Can we make it?” Mei frowned.

“If Aiko’s grubby hands trigger?” The Shadows Peak Elder laughed.

“That’s obvious.” Mei rolled her eyes. If Aiko wanted, she would be able to stash this whole place in a few months.

“I will make Aiko grab everything.” The Shadows Peak Elder narrowed her eyes.

“Don’t even try it.” Mei didn’t want to burden Aiko when she was unstable.

“You already want to have her forcefully upgrade her Bloodline and Species. What’s more, she will need some stretching.” The Shadows Peak Elder shrugged.

“I wouldn’t say forcefully.” Mei glared at her.

“But you will be bypassing the very laws of nature.” The Shadows Peak Elder rolled her eyes. She couldn’t believe how shameless Mei became.

“So what? Those rules are supposed to be broken if we want to ascend. What does it matter if we do it a little sooner?” Mei shrugged like it was not a big deal.

The Shadows Peak Elder sighed before leaving. “I don’t understand why Aiko is with you. Danji is much juicier than you are.” She licked her lips. “Oh, but you have nice ti-”

The Shadows Peak Elder frantically dodged as a boulder was flung at her.

“If you want to end up underground, just say it!” Mei picked up another boulder and threw it at her.

“Alright! Alright! No need to throw a hissy fit!” The Shadows Peak Elder immediately ran away since she didn’t want to deal with angry Mei.

“Tsk.” Mei clicked her tongue, but the Ritual Formation paired with a Ritual Array was almost finished.

They were usually used in the Immortal World to promote the growth of the youth, but there were no rules that she couldn’t use them in the Mortal World.

There were a few limitations imposed on them, but those were already fulfilled by Mei, so all that she needed were materials to make Aiko’s ‘Moon’ colder.

Since Aiko didn’t say how cold she wanted it. She would start with the coldest materials and let Aiko choose what she wanted.

‘No, knowing her, she would pick these materials anyway.’ Mei knew that Aiko was looking to power it up as much as possible, but she would still prepare lesser ingredients just in case it would be too much.

Shaking her head gently, she got to work once again…

With the Massage Chairs repaired, Moon Aiko needed some test subjects that still worked as well as the old ones.

Moon Aiko walked outside, and there were already Muscle Foxes waiting for her.

“What are you doing here?” Since the old Fox Village was abolished, there were no restrictions on where they could go, but there were still limitations on privacy.

“We are waiting for the Massage Chairs.” The Muscle Foxes exchanged glances.

“I need some test subjects to know if it works well.” Moon Aiko proclaimed, since she knew there wouldn’t be too many of-

“What?!” Moon Aiko was taken aback when all the Muscle Foxes raised their hands.

“We are willing!” The Muscle Foxes shouted in unison, startling Aiko again.

“Oh… uh, you and you and you.” Moon Aiko felt weird looking at their overly enthusiastic expression and picked a few to test the Massage Chairs.

Mainly a small muscular Fox, a normal-sized muscular Fox and a huge muscular Fox.

…

With the Massage Chairs prepared, the small one went first.

But that guy melted within 2 minutes, making Moon Aiko question if it was working well!

The normal-sized Fox went next, and she lasted for a whole 7 minutes! Before she melted like the other one and spoke sweet gibberish.

As one might expect, the Muscle Foxes waiting on standby were itching to get onto the Massage Chairs, but remembering how scary the Jade Fox was, they waited patiently.

Next up was the huge Fox. He lasted the most at a whopping 27 minutes, but he also had a separate Massage Chair, made especially for huge Foxes.

“I would say there is something amiss, but it’s close enough that nobody will care.” The huge Fox proclaimed before melting away.

“Well…” Moon Aiko scratched her head. “At least one gave me some feedback.” She nodded her head slowly before turning towards the Muscle Foxes. “Make 3 lines based on-”

Even before she finished, the Muscle Foxes already made 3 waiting lines based on sizes.

Moon Aiko’s lips twitched, but she didn’t mind this kind of efficiency.

“You can just get a massage and leave. Don’t come back until everyone has at least 1 turn!” Moon Aiko proclaimed before going inside.

The Muscle Foxes immediately jumped on the Massage Chairs and melted into puddles of happiness…

…

With that work done, Moon Aiko would visit her ‘tailor’. She had quite a few materials and needed a lot of clothing since every Aiko had different sizes.

She didn’t need to mind Sun Aiko, since she wouldn’t be able to pop up any time soon, but Witch Aiko had issues with heat, and Moon Aiko had issues with Witch Aiko’s size.

So everything had to be adjusted!

Moon Aiko stood up. She already noticed that the flow of Qi recovered inside the Fox Village, but there were still some lingering places where the slut Qi was stuck.

Those parts won’t need any adjustments for the time being, since they will be leaving this place.

It’s also great for those Foxes that were badly affected. The slut ambience will make their minds work less, making recovery smoother than if they were to be subjected to the normal Qi.

This also saved a lot of materials since those Foxes would naturally use up the bad Qi, before being naturally purified by Pills and other remedies.

‘Maybe I should bring some Massage Chairs over?’ Moon Aiko believed that there wasn’t anything that the Massage Chair couldn’t solve!
