Moving back to the starting point was easier as Aiko was not injured.
The Holy Deer was able to surpass his previous speed with ease, and they arrived in the Outer part of the Nightmare Forest within a week!
This was good news, since Aiko wanted to know more about that strange sealed Beast and rest with the serpent lady. Her body was cool and pleasant, so sleeping with her was really nice~!
Nodding her head gently. She cupped her fists to bid farewell to the other Beasts. It was startling how weak she was compared to them, but Aiko would not give up on it!
Moving towards the hidden passage, Moon Aiko slowly moved towards the core, where she found 'that' Elder.
However, along the way, she spotted some indication of intrusion.
Moon Aiko slowly turned into Sun Aiko and sneaked around. Sun Aiko didn't want to come out when she was around the Fire Birdie Lady, so now that she was willing, she wanted to play with the intruders to her heart's content!
...
Deeper inside the ant tunnels, she finally arrived at the scene.
There were three Elders, and they all smelled pretty bad, like there was some kind of evil Qi around them.
Shaking her head, Sun Aiko kept sneaking closer.
"The damn Demonic Foxes disappeared from the Fox Village." One Elder grumbled. Those were truly top-tier goods that would sell for a lot if given the chance.
"Yeah, I miss their smoothness..." Another Elder spoke, his body littered with wounds. It was completely obvious what kind of kinks he indulged in...
"Shut it." The third Elder scolded both of them. "We are supposed to figure out why we lost connection with the Elder that is supposed to reside here! But not only did we not figure out what happened here, but there are even spots that are charred! That shouldn't be possible with this Winter Bitch around!" He roared angrily.
"Have you called?" Sun Aiko smiled at him happily. They might smell bad, but they should be at least sturdy.
The two Elders jumped back, while the third Elder appraised the Fox in front of him.
"You are not bad." The third Elder tried to cop a feel, but sudden force overtook his body.
*Boom*
"And you are dirty! You should have a bath before playing with me!" Sun Aiko pinched her nose, since that smell was truly revolting.
The third Elder coughed up blood. All of them looked the same, as old fossils with white grass on their heads. They didn't have any kind of beard, which made their faces that much more revolting.
"You whore!" The second Elder roared, but...
*Boom*
He was blasted away by Sun Aiko, too.
"Seriously! Take. A. Bath. Now!" Sun Aiko didn't want to play with something as filthy as they were, so she would just sliiiightly 'cleanse' them!
Of course, that cleansing involved high temperature and possible charred spots, but who are they to judge her technique!?
The Elders grouped up and set up a Formation, but Sun Aiko just headbutted it away.
"HAH?!" The Elders were shocked as they coughed up blood. They couldn't understand where this abnormal Fox came from!
"I know, you are this bastard's spouse, aren't you?! You can't deceive us with your Winter Illusions!" The first Elder roared. He was also the only one who had the fewest injuries.
Sun Aiko tilted her head. She couldn't understand what they were talking about and why they weren't doing more of those strange flag formations.
"Are we not playing?" Sun Aiko tilted her head to the other side as her ears lay flat.
"Playing?" The first Elder snorted. "We will massacre you!" He slapped the ground, and flags immediately spread out.
Sun Aiko would carve a circle and then steal some of the ice before the Array repaired itself.
Nodding her head gently, Sun Aiko prepared for what was to come, that was scorching heat and a lot of trial and erro-
'Huh? It's done?!' Sun Aiko blinked blankly as there was a hole in front of her made by her finger.
'...' Sun Aiko felt like the hyping up didn't do this justice, so she just enlarged that hole and stole some ice from the dome.
*crunch*
"Crunchy..." Sun Aiko didn't know if she liked it or disliked it, but it was very crunchy and cold.
"Blegh." Sun Aiko spat out that ice, since it didn't taste good.
"Little one..." The Eternal Winter Beasts suddenly spoke.
"What is it?" Sun Aiko snorted unhappily. She was quite upset after tasting that ice.
"I will repay you well if you free me." The Eternal Winter Beasts said gently.
"I want ice that never melts and exudes cold Qi indefinitely." Sun Aiko demanded, since she could use that for Sis.
"Possible, now free me." The Eternal Winter Beast gently said.
"Nuh-uh." Sun Aiko shook her head. "There is a hole in here, gimme the ice and I will free you." She was warned by her Witchy Sister about these scammers.
"..." The Eternal Winter Beast was flabbergasted that someone treated her like this, but she still had to comply, since this Fox was the only being she knew of that could literally carve this sealed space.
"Here." This was her precious Treasure that she used to nurture the cold Qi inside her body. Losing it would be quite devastating, but as long as she made it home, she would be able to get another one, maybe even a better one!
"Thank you~" Sun Aiko hummed as she checked it with the system.
[Eternal Glacial Ice]
[Exudes the coldest Qi only found in the Immortal World. Exceptionally beneficial to Ice-based Beasts.]
[Seemingly limitless.]
Sun Aiko was satisfied with this and started to carve at the sealed space.
The Eternal Winter Beast observed the Foxy as she easily carved, something that was impossible for even an immortal to do.
'Primordial Blue Sun, huh?' The Eternal Winter Beast didn't believe it at first, but this Foxy had those flames inside her body, as shocking as it was. She didn't have any Immortal Qi, so she should've burned painlessly away, but this Fox... not only did she not suffer, but she was even able to make use of these flames?!
'It's not a loss for our race if we can befriend her.' The Eternal Winter Beast held some apprehension towards beauties and Foxes, but she would make an exception this one time.
"Gosh!" Sun Aiko whined. "This takes too long!"
The Eternal Winter Beast rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe that someone was unhappy about this quick prog-
"Brace yourself!" Sun Aiko formed a Sun above her body.
"What are you- No! No! Bad Fox! Wa-" The Eternal Winter Beast's cries were drowned by a huge explosion...
...
*Cough**Cough**Cough*
"Did it work?" Sun Aiko perked her ears and looked around. The dome was obliterated, and the sealed space was shattered.
"Ugh..." A beauty with light blue hair and a captivating complexion groaned from within.
Moon Aiko observed her, but she truly liked those thighs. They seemed so soft; they would make perfect pillows!
"I hate you." The beauty sniffled as she almost cried.
"Uh..." Sun Aiko didn't know how to deal with this. "Are you alright?"
"Alright?" The beauty's face twitched. "Do you think that if someone dropped a 'Sun' on your home, you would be alright?"
"Sorry... but you are free now." Sun Aiko said nervously.
"Right, as if-" The beauty suddenly paused. The chains around her limbs were obliterated during the process too, so the only thing left were her messed-up clothes and a few burned spots.
The beauty glanced at the Fox with some fear and reverence before adjusting her clothes.
"Awwww..." Sun Aiko didn't like that this beauty hid her thighs with her clothes. She still wanted to test them for sleeping!
"Pervert!" The beauty blushed at the Fox before stuttering. "T-this is not over!"
The Ice inside Aiko's hand emitted even more cold Qi than before.
[True Eternal Glacial Ice (Unsealed)]
[Exudes the coldest Qi only found in the Immortal World. Exceptionally beneficial to Ice-based Beasts.]
[Limitless.]
"Hmpf." The beauty snorted before her body disappeared.
"???" Sun Aiko had so many questions, but it didn't seem like he would get any of them.
What was important was that she now had this Ice that she could use for both her Bloodline and Hollow Moon.
First would be Bloodline. The Moon was naturally cold, so she could use this cold Qi to nurture it. It was not as powerful as other sources that she could pick, but she couldn't really be that picky.
The [Hollow Moon Physique] was still incomplete, so she should finish it sooner rather than later!
For now, she dropped that Ice into her Hollow Moon and part of that beautiful lake was frozen over.
She could also see Grandpa Flame 'sweating' due to the sudden drop in temperature.
'I wonder what the serpent lady is doing...' Sun Aiko suddenly turned around. There was nothing else in here, but she would check it once every so often, just in case other Elders returned here!
