Chapter 327 – Mei’s Evolution
Time passed and Mei came to Aiko, who was making doodle Runes once again.
"I'm about to Evolve," Mei said gently. "I would like to ask for the Dew Drops."
"Sure." Aiko readily nodded. It was currently early morning, so she was already in her Dew Form.
'How much is enough...' Aiko narrowed her eyes. 'Eh...' She then shrugged.
[-100,000 Vitality]
[-100,000 Vitality]
[-100,000 Vitality]
...
[-1,000,000 Vitality]
[-1,000,000 Vitality]
[-1,000,000 Vitality]
...
Aiko looked like a shrivelled pickle. '100m Vitality should be enough for Mei, right?' She was not sure if that would be enough.
"That's enough!" Mei's lips twitched. Her specially created container for this drop was at its limit. 'How can it be at its limit?! It can house Vitality that is similar to Beasts at Holy Spirit Beast Rank!'
Mei was unsure if she should even use this drop if it was that powerful... 'What will happen to my body if I use it...?' But her experimental self was really looking forward to it~!
Mei closed the container and stored it safely. 'This storage container will be useless after this...' She cried silently in her mind.
"Anything else?" Aiko was planning to give her Bloodline, but for some reason, Mei was still not part of the system.
"No, I will go and prepare." Mei smiled gently.
"Okay." Aiko nodded. She would see the other Beasts and what they are doing in the meantime.
...
With Mei gone, Aiko had a lot more freedom to cause trouble, but since Mei would be Evolving, it was better to stay put for the time being.
'I can tease Mei once she is Human.' Aiko decided that the weak Mei would be the perfect victim for her mischief.
"So how does this work?" Aiko popped out of nowhere near the Beasts, asking them gently.
They were startled at first, but soon they answered.
"Dragons don't have normal Beast Cores like other Beasts. As such, their potency and the amount of stored Energy are incomparable to other Beasts. With such concentration of Energy, even if you didn't wish for it, you would be able to create Spiritual things. Like Fires, Waters, Treasures and so on." The Three-Legged Crow answered.
"Ohhhh..." Aiko nodded gently. "So as long as I have enough Energy, I can create Spiritual things too?" She was interested in creating her own Treasures.
"Not quite, most Beasts have deeply rooted Energies that don't circulate well around the body. The only one different was Dragons. There are also Foxes, but since they, by default, have smaller Beast Cores, they can't be used as Spiritual Nurturers." The Black Tortoise said gently. He was focusing on the Spiritual Water.
"Oho." Aiko nodded. 'In other words, it might be possible for me to create an army of Spiritual things.' She smirked.
"Don't even think about it." The Azure Dragon suddenly said. "Your energy won't last even if you have superior Beast Core. You can't just make up that difference with more Beast Cores." He shook his head gently.
"Awwwww. Party pooper." Aiko booed him. "If I think I can make it, I can make it!" She proclaimed while pouting.
"I will tell this to Mei, so she keeps you in check." The Azure Dragon sighed. This little Fox was getting out of control over time and needed some kind of reins over her.
"In what stage are we right now?" Aiko asked gently. She was curious if she would be able to Evolve soon.
She did not look over the Evolution Tree yet, but that should be alright, since she stored all of the Stat Points for this very occasion.
"A few months and you are not allowed to Evolve unless Mei finishes!" The Azure Dragon demanded from Aiko.
"Sure." Aiko readily agreed, since she didn't believe that Mei would take all that long. "What will I do now?" She asked them.
"Go revise your Evolution or something. We are busy." The White Tiger said. He had the hardest time nurturing things, so it was difficult to keep his hands steady.
'Why always me!? Why is everyone having such an easy time!?' Cried the White Tiger inside his head.
"Fine." Aiko pouted and returned to Mei's side. She was currently stockpiling things.
"Do you have everything?" Aiko asked gently. She wanted to do something, since she was a bit bored.
"I have everything." Mei giggled and petted Aiko.
"Boooo!" Aiko pouted. "There is nothing to do!" She sighed. "And you don't even see me as part of the family! You won't let me do almost anything!" She pouted even more.
"I do see you as part of the family." Mei smiled gently. "But you are still too weak to help me with more advanced Pills and your Divine Sense can't handle rarer Herbs properly." She narrowed her eyes.
Aiko pouted even more. "Then hug me, since you will be away for some time and I will be bored." Aiko made a grabbing motion like a needy teenager.
Mei sighed with a smile. Aiko was truly one of a kind.
"Come here." Mei nodded and hugged Aiko gently.
[Subject Mei is now registered into the system!]
Aiko's eyes shined. 'I will give her a good Bloodline!' She promised to herself!
"Hm?" Mei tilted her head. "What was that?"
"You are part of the system now." Aiko chuckled like a devil.
Mei frowned, but before she could speak, Aiko continued. "And now I will be rewarding you with a Bloodline, so you are stronger!" Aiko declared.
Mei was startled, but this time she did not completely believe Aiko. It was fine if Aiko gave others Bloodlines, since they were weaker, but there was no way that it would work on someone much stronger.
That would violate the basic Laws.
"Sure, sure." Mei chuckled. "Then I will be going. So don't cause too much trouble, alright?"
"I will try." Aiko could not promise anything, since she would definitely cause some kind of trouble.
"Look at you." Mei sighed. "Playing all innocent! Just be prepared that once you become Human, I will straighten you out!"
Mei did not believe that Aiko would be able to keep her strange Skills even when her Beast Form got locked.
'At that time I will be able to educate Aiko properly.' Mei nodded to herself and she felt like she was in a much better mood.
"Don't approach my cave, or the Heavenly Lightning might take you as interfering with my Evolution and it would strike both of us!" Mei pinched Aiko's cheek.
"Got it!" Aiko saluted before running away.
Mei sighed. "I will definitely be struck, huh?" She shook her head, but she was not worried, maybe this experience would be able to straighten Aiko out a bit more.
...
Aiko waited with the other Beasts, she was trying to observe the changes in Grandpa's body.
"So are you pregnant now?" Aiko asked the Grandpa Dragon.
"""PFFFFT.""" The 3 other Beasts almost spat out their organs. They never heard something so ridiculous.
They understood that this little Fox liked to play around, but wasn't this a bit too much?!
"When will you give birth, Grandpa-ma?" Aiko asked innocently.
The Azure Dragon was furious, but he could not move in order to spank this little brat!
The other Beasts were holding in laughter. They could not believe what the little Fox was saying. It was too hilarious for them, but at the same time, they didn't want to anger their comrade.
"You are already bored, huh?" The Azure Dragon glared at Aiko.
"Yeah." Aiko kicked her legs. She was bored since she already tried everything she could, but she was not allowed to leave this place after she burned down a whole mountain and its surroundings.
"Maybe you should've practised restraint. Then you would not be here and could explore freely." The Azure Dragon chuckled with glee.
Aiko pouted. "Who told those bastards to build a road on only one side of the mountain..." She was like a small child who was wronged.
The Beasts choked at her comments. They thought that she had some kind of fight with someone, but this whole thing happened because she was petty?! Ridiculous!
"You should really practice restrain..." The Three-Legged Crow gazed blankly at the small Fox.
Aiko pouted once more and wanted to retort him, but when the surroundings darkened.
"What a lucky bastard." The White Tiger said. "To think she could get superior Species." He shook his head.
'Now is the time!' Aiko smiled.
[Bloodline Gift(Servant)]!
The somewhat small black cloud grew bigger...
-----
{At the same time somewhere else.}
Mei panicked. 'What did that little brat do this time?! Why is this cloud getting bigger?! And why am I overflowing with another Bloodline?!'
'Mei frowned, but before she could speak, Aiko continued. "And now I will be rewarding you with a Bloodline, so you are stronger!" Aiko declared.'
'Fuck!' Mei cursed. 'I should've told her no! She complicated everything!' She should've expected that Aiko was not lying and that she would truly do that, but it was just such a ridiculous notion that Mei was unable to believe it!
'At this rate, I would have to pop the Dew Drop sooner!' Mei grimaced. She wanted to save it for later when the Heavenly Lightning was at its strongest, but now she would have to use it prematurely.
'"Just you wait! I will spank your butt for this!" Mei proclaimed.
-----
Aiko shivered for some reason. 'Is someone after my life?' She tilted her head, but she could not figure out what was wrong.
'Now that Mei has her own Bloodline, that would leave just me and the Blood Fox.' Aiko nodded. 'The Blood Fox is still being punished, but in the next Evolution I will be sitting with her and looking at her, so that she can't escape!' She inflated her cheeks like a pufferfish. 'No way will anyone escape my gifts!' She proclaimed in her mind.
She moved a bit further from the Beasts, since they were staring at her strangely.
"Everything is going well~" Aiko hummed. She was unaware that there was a certain Fox currently cursing her since Aiko made her Evolution much more difficult than it needed to be.
"I can't even practise my Divine Sense since Grandpa is unwilling to move." Aiko pouted. She would have to find some kind of victim who would be able to train with her or entertain her. All the while being in this place!
