"When am I not looking gorgeous?" Moon Aiko shook her head. It was not her arrogance speaking, but the troublesome fact that she attracted too much attention.

She would definitely work on her [Moonless Mist Shroud] further, in order to hide from their gazes.

Aiko blinked a few times, waiting for them to say anything.

Ah Cy pursed her lips. "You will need some clothing, since you will now have to attend the meeting."

"That sounds like too much trouble. I will just return to the previous form." Moon Aiko vaguely felt her 'consciousness' was being pulled by her Youngest Sister. She would have to deal with this power struggle, too.

Ah Cy paused. "Are you sure you want that?" She was fine with Aiko attending in her human form, so that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

"I'm not sure what 'she' will do, so it's better this way." Moon Aiko believed that Sun Aiko wouldn't go streaking. She liked cool things, so she was more likely to sit still this time.

Ah Cy was confused.

The Martial Elder felt unhappy. "I even gathered all these clothes..." She really wanted to play dress-up with this cutie.

"No." Moon Aiko immediately denied that motion. She felt like it would end up with her being completely exhausted.

"Anyway, I will be spending time with Li Xiu until I recover. If they have any other plans, do expect some 'unfortunate' situations occurring here and there." Moon Aiko warned them. Well, those unfortunate circumstances would appear either way, but the scale couldn't be compared.

Ah Cy pursed her lips. "Aren't you trying to charm my Disciple to-" She wanted to get to the bottom of this, but Aiko's body suddenly changed.

She grew slimmer and her body got overall smaller. The heat started leaking from her body again, raising the temperature of the room slowly.

"I'm back!" Sun Aiko raised her hands, but her body didn't bounce as much as in her other forms.

"You got smaller." Ah Cy immediately saw the discrepancy in her bust and commented on it from sheer curiosity.

"Who are you calling small?! You are sm-" Sun Aiko observed Ah Cy, but there was nothing on her that you could say was small!

"Mountain woman!" Sun Aiko thought that this was a clever insult, since most of her vision was taken up by that enormous bust.

Ah Cy flinched. "M-mountain woman?!" She didn't think that Aiko would insult her like that.

"Hmpf." Sun Aiko puffed her cheeks before she transformed into a Fox. "I have played enough."

*Growl*

"Li Xiu, I'm hungry~" Sun Aiko tried to go outside, but the barrier stopped her.

"Gosh, there are now invisible walls around..." The duo behind her didn't recover from their shock, as they never saw Fox transform like that.

Meanwhile, Sun Aiko burned a hole through the barrier and excited the room.

Outside, there were the same Elders that encountered her Eldest Sister. She didn't care about them, since she was too hungry.

"Li Xiu~" Sun Aiko sneaked between the startled Elders, finding her prey.

"Huh, Aiko?" Li Xiu didn't think that Aiko would return in her Fox Form, since her Master went inside, but that didn't appear to be the case!

"I'm hungry." Sun Aiko innocently jumped at Li Xiu, wanting some food from her.

"Yes..." Li Xiu was still trying to process what had happened. She didn't know why the other Elders were looking so dumbfounded, but Aiko was back with her, so there shouldn't be any other issues.

"Master." Li Xiu gently nodded as she held the small Aiko.

Ah Cy pursed her lips. It didn't seem like this kind of 'Aiko' was trying to go after her Disciple like that, and the previous Aiko felt too cold for her Disciple to like.

'The third form?' Ah Cy narrowed her eyes. Maybe there was a third bewitching form? It was possible.

Everyone returned to the main hall. The Sect Leader came moments later as he was checking on his Beasts.

"A blessing." The Grandmaster smiled.

"Indeed." The Sect Leader didn't expect that his cute, cuddly Beasts could further improve their Bloodlines and at an explosive rate to boot!

"I will be drained of resources..." The Sect Leader said that, but it didn't feel like he was unhappy about it at all! It even seemed like he was greatly pleased.

"So about the matter of our guests." The Sect Leader coughed slightly.

The Peak Elders were excited, since they had already prepared convincing facts for the Sect Leader so that they could have that gorgeous beauty for themselves.

"She will stay with the Saintess since they seem to have a good relationship. They are free to come to this Peak and go as they wish. Is that alright with you-" The Sect Leader explained, and the Elders waited for their turn.

However...

"Hidden Peak Elder?" The Sect Leader never addressed the other Peak Elders! It felt like he was completely ignoring them!

The Sect Leader was so overjoyed about their pets that he was willing to give a lot more to the small Fox, but by just giving her access here, she would be able to meet them again and further improve their furs!

The Winter Beasts had the softest furs out there, especially if they improved their Bloodline greatly.

The Sect Leader was suffering from insomnia from the previously eradicated Inner Demon, so now he had to use something to put him to sleep.

The softness and coolness of the Winter Beasts allowed him to fall asleep somewhat easily, but now that they had improved their Bloodline so much, he would have the best sleep of his life!

"S-Sect Leader?" One Peak Elder wanted to interject, but he was quickly shut down by the powerful energy the Sect Leader exuded.

"That is fine by me. Our guest already met the Guardian, and it was a gentle meeting, so I believe there should be no issue if she stays." Ah Cy smiled slightly, but she was quite happy.

Since her Disciple was allowed to be with Aiko, they could both come here. The Qi was quite pure, although not plentiful, and it would still allow her to purify her body and advance further than before.

Since her Disciple disliked meditation, this would be the perfect remedy for her slow advancement!

"Good, good." The Sect Leader happily slapped the armrest. With this, further rewards would be given for her assistance.

Sun Aiko paused. "How about a flying boat?"

The Sect Leader slightly choked. He felt like his mind was being read about the reward part!

"W-what about it?" The Sect Leader was startled and stuttered.

Sun Aiko didn't really need it, but she would use it as a bargaining chip for her Eldest Sister, so she wouldn't be too harsh on her.

"As a reward?" This was a proposed strategy left behind by the sleeping Moon Aiko.

Sun Aiko didn't mind too much about it, as it was just asking about it.

The Sect Leader paused. "Let me think about this." He was not entirely against that idea, but he wanted to first test the improved furs.

The Winter Beast allowed him to eradicate all spies inside his own Sect, so if he further improved his rest...

'Wouldn't I be able to rule over more peaks~' He hummed happily inside his mind. With improved rest, he would have more energy to do things, faster cultivation speed and all that kind of good stuff.

Smirking to himself, he wondered what the future would bring.

"Sure, it doesn't need to be big, but it does need to function as a normal flying ship." Sun Aiko added. She didn't know why she had to do all that, but this should please her Eldest Sister.

Nodding her head, she was prepared to laze around with Li Xiu later on.

The Sect Leader narrowed his eyes. So it was fine if it was not completely functional, as long as she was able to learn about how it worked? That was quite the expensive gift... but not impossible.

Giving her a flying boat that was not completely functional was easy, but she might raise an issue about this later.

'Forget it. First, I need to test those new furs.' The Sect Leader nodded. He always cuddled the Winter Beasts to sleep, and they happily obliged, since he was providing them with anything they could want or need.

The Peak Elders were quite upset, but they couldn't voice this openly. They would just use their Disciples to lure the Fox out and let her have them.

'It's a small price to pay, and if they are handsome enough, they might get some benefits from her.' The Peak Elders still acted on the assumption that this Fox would act like any other Fox.

How cute...

...

Sun Aiko, Li Xiu and Ah Cy left the main Peak.

"This went easier than I thought." Li Xiu was slightly puzzled. "What happened to the Winter Beasts?" She felt like it had something to do with it.

"Good observation." Ah Cy praised her Disciple. "Their Bloodlines were greatly strengthened, allowing their fur to become ever so soft."

"Which allows better rest for the Sect Leader." Li Xiu quickly connected the dots.

"In turn, a reward was imposed on our guest. She has free rein about where she wants to go, while also giving her the opportunity to further strengthen them." Ah Cy was quite dissatisfied with this treatment, but fortunately, Aiko pushed forward.

She requested the flying boat and not just a functional one, but anything that acted as one, which was obvious why.

They already heard rumours about her Inscription, so it was possible she was trying to create her own flying boat.

This would cut the costs exceptionally if she could find a Floating Stone.

'At worst, I will make a deal with the cool Aiko later.' Ah Cy licked her lips. A Floating Stone for restricting Aiko to charm her Disciples was quite the cheap price to pay.

"And we can also visit, which means we can benefit from the pure Qi." While they could visit the main Peak, their movement was still restricted, which meant they wouldn't be able to benefit from the pure Qi completely.

Now that they are allowed to go almost everywhere on the main Peak, which means they could pick a special Cultivation Room, so that they could safely advance.

This was a huge boon for the duo as it would allow Ah Cy to increase her lifespan, and Li Xiu to improve with fewer efforts taken.
