Arriving at the familiar Peak, Moon Aiko marvelled at the idea of being able to use all these Herbs to make Mei happy.

She would definitely win a lot of them as long as she didn't let her guard down.

The bull was startled by this new guest that came during the night. First, it was a Fox, and this time it was a beauty from the Immortal World.

Zonghan Qiang started to question if the clumsy Human Sect Leader actually had some spine and knew how to please his guests.

"What should we call you?" Wu Tao smiled. He saw this beauty with the Winter Beasts, so he knew that this was the same person or rather, Fox.

"Moon Jade is fine." Moon Aiko didn't quite like the 'vicious' part since she was not the Younger Sister. There were so many different things that she could use to make her enemies surrender; there was no need to use something as precious as poles.

Well, each sister had their own way of dealing with enemies, so Moon Aiko didn't dwell on it too much.

"That's... a unique nickname." Zonghan Qiang never heard about such a guest, but judging by her features...

"Hey, you lousy bastard." Zonghan Qiang whispered and nudged Wu Tao. "Is she single?"

Wu Tao choked on his tea, since he didn't expect his old friend to be THAT interested.

"Didn't you say that you would never date a Fox?" Wu Tao glared at him.

"When did I say that..." Zonghan Qiang hummed and ignored everything Wu Tao said.

"You do know that it's the same Fox that you fed the overly spicy things, right?" Wu Tao was overjoyed at this bastard's distorted expression.

Moon Aiko didn't open her eyes just yet. She was saving her energy for when they would be playing Go.

"I apologise for my previous rudeness. I hope you can forgive me." Zonghan Qiang immediately bowed and pleaded for mercy from this beauty.

"It's fine..." Moon Aiko was quite happy that their Youngest Sister was fed before she did something, so she appreciated his gesture... even if it was a bit mischievous on his part.

"Thank you!" Zonghan Qiang bowed even more. He still had a chance with this beauty! Those were the best news since he got here!

"Shall we play?" Moon Aiko gestured towards the Go board.

Zonghan Qiang's eyes lit up. "May we also place bets?" His heart beat fast.

"What about your wife?" Wu Tao nudged him.

"Do you want me to crush your skull?" Zonghan Qiang almost transformed back into a bull when he heard his words.

"..." Wu Tao ignored this whole situation and prayed that Qiang's wife would not know about what had happened this night.

"Please." Zonghan Qiang conceded the first move to the captivating beauty.

Aiko slowly opened her eyes as her eyelashes fluttered. She immediately stole their breath away.

Moon Aiko was quite bold in her strategy, so she began attacking almost immediately.

'F-ferocious beauty!' Zonghan Qiang gulped nervously. He felt the same kind of excitement when he met his wife! This was a match made by heaven!

...

The first round went to Moon Aiko, which made her frown.

Over 11 thousand Moon Essence, and she consumed thousands during this time.

It was a lot more than she expected, but she could also feel burning desire from him, so it was obvious he conceded the first round to butter her up.

Moon Aiko would not be able to maintain this form if she depleted her Essence, so this required drastic measures.

[Sun & Moon Nurturing Meditation]

Between her turns, she would recover a bit of Essence, since this Peak was in a good location and the Moons shone brightly at them.

"Please." Zonghan Qiang smiled again. This time, he would take this seriously, but he was still taken aback by that unique energy that whirled around this captivating beauty.

He was never one to force things; he loved to soften things up until they gave in naturally.

He was trying to do the same with this captivating individual, but she was quite the tough cookie.

...

The second round went to Moon Aiko, albeit barely. Her body was imbalanced thanks to her unnaturally powerful physique, so beads of sweat formed on her body for the first time since pretty much ever.

She would have to deal with the imbalance sooner rather than later, since she hated it.

However, her opponents, for some reason, loved it, and they were more willing to engage with her in even more games.

"Here are the Pills. Heavenly Pseudo-Correction Pill and Sacred Frost Yin Pill." Zonghan Qiang conceded those Pills since the first time he let her win, but the second time, he actually lost.

It was definitely not because of her captivating scent that was so pleasing to his nostrils!

"Thank you..." Moon Aiko pursed her lips.

"Zonghan Qiang." Zonghan Qiang flashed a charming smile.

"Zonghan Qiang." Moon Aiko nodded and smiled lightly. Zonghan Qiang gripped his heart as that smile was a fatal blow to his mind and especially his body.

'Stupid bastard, you will have to escort her out later.' Zonghan Qiang sent a telepathic message to his friend.

'Just because you are pitching a tent, I'm supposed to be your servant? Forget it.' Wu Tao joked around, but Zonghan Qiang didn't respond.

'... Seriously?' Wu Tao asked in shock.

'Just do it!' Zonghan Qiang cried out.

'...' Wu Tao blankly stared at his dignified friend, who turned into a lustful idiot.

"How about you, Sect Leader?" Moon Aiko smiled like a Fox at the Southern Sect Leader.

"Please call me Wu Tao." Wu Tao shook his head. "But what are we betting?" He narrowed his eyes.

"Heavenly Light-Water." Moon Aiko proclaimed. "For your Herbs." She glanced at the fields with many rare Herbs.

Wu Tao joked again. He couldn't believe that this Fox had something as precious as that!

Not only could Pill Refiners use that to clean Herbs, but if one bathed their body in it, it could clean most, if not all, Mortal Impurities!

"My apologies, Moon Jade. May I ask for-" Wu Tao wanted proof that she had it, and Aiko understood his intentions.

She pulled out a mere 10 litres, but it was enough to make both of them speechless.

"Is this enough?" Moon Aiko smiled innocently. Her glistening lips attracted their attention.

"Enough, enough! More than enough!" Wu Tao would bet even if she had 1 litre, but 10?! Those could be used for hundreds of Disciples!

"Then shall we?" Moon Aiko smiled.

"May I?" Zonghan Qiang was a bit nervous.

"What is it?" Moon Aiko tilted her head.

"I don't really need the water, so..." Zonghan Qiang's voice grew weaker and weaker. "howaboutyousitonmylapifyouloseagainstme"

He completely slurred the last sentence, but Aiko understood him.

'If it is just sitting and there is no touching, that is great. It means I have one safety net before my Treasures might be taken away.' Moon Aiko found that endearing since she would be able to keep Treasures even if she messed up!

Moreover, it didn't feel like this guy would do anything to her, considering how shyly he asked about this thing.

"Very well." Moon Aiko nodded, but there was a certain iciness in her words.

"Of course, I won't do anything else!" Zonghan Qiang proudly smashed his chest.

Moon Aiko giggled. How could this cute creature become the Sect Leader? She couldn't understand.

"I will be betting Herbs, are you interested in any of them?" Wu Tao agreed to her arrangements.

"I'm not sure... There are so many that smell, well..." Moon Aiko paused her thoughts for a moment.

"Let's start with the most poisonous Herb." Since her Younger Sister wanted to test something out, Moon Aiko would gather the ingredients.

"That is fine, but what will you use it for?" Wu Tao had to be careful about the poisonous Herbs so that they wouldn't bite him in the ass later on.

"I will eat them, obviously." Moon Aiko tilted her head.

"Huh...?"

Both of them were completely speechless.

"B-but you would be poisoned, and that poison would be hard to get rid of." Zonghan Qiang was the most flustered out of the group, while Wu Tao was just shocked.

"In processed form?" He asked again.

"Of course, raw." Moon Aiko was confused about their intentions.

Wu Tao almost coughed up blood. Poisonous Herbs were like weeds in his garden since they liked to stick to special Herbs and drain their energies, but eating them raw?! Was she crazy?!

"I... don't mind." Wu Tao grew slightly thicker skin since he would be able to obtain a lot, and in return, even get rid of the pesky weeds!

"Mmm~" Moon Aiko hummed happily.

"I will be going first then-" Zonghan Qiang smiled happily, but that smile didn't last long.

"Who is going first?! I'm going first!" Wu Tao didn't want to miss this opportunity, so even if he had to push his friend aside, he would win that Light-Water!

"Who started this game, huh?! Now step aside, you old fossil!" Zonghan Qiang glared at him.

"What did you say, you spoiled beef steak?!" Wu Tao glared back.

"It appears that nobody wants to play this game." Moon Aiko stood up slowly as her somewhat bountiful body swayed gently.

Zonghan Qiang gulped nervously at this loss. "Of course, we want to play. Please don't mind us, Fairy Moon Jade."

"Yeah, it's just age taking its toll on our minds, don't mind us." Wu Tao was likewise flustered, and they were both convincing her to sit down for different reasons.

"... Very well." Moon Aiko was a bit puzzled about their enthusiasm.

They played with dice, and it was decided that Zonghan Qiang would go first.

Aiko played like always, but this time she was struggling to keep up.

[Adjusting skills under [Arts Mastery].]

[Previously, you needed a lot of knowledge in order to gain just one Level, but that will change.]

[There are now two Levels that you need to fill, and they work like this:]

[Individual Levels of the Arts under Arts Mastery.]

[They are easier to level up and give you smaller bonuses.]

[Arts Mastery Level, which is hard to level up, but gives you a major bonus to every Art under that category.]

[Arts Mastery Level is the average of all individual Levels!]

Moon Aiko glanced at her system.

[Due to this change, the Level is reset, but you will be able to win more games over time, go Princess, go!]
