Having her tails cleaned, Aiko immediately stared at the Goddess of the Moon.
"You will go into that pond." The Goddess of the Moon narrowed her eyes.
Moon Aiko immediately went back to cleaning. She would never touch that jelly pond!
'Damn perverts, all of them.' Moon Aiko snorted unhappily as she combed her tails. It was quite dirty since the spider silk was woven into her own fur. This made it difficult for her to remove without ripping her own fur out.
Shaking her head gently, Aiko kept going.
...
"Fine." The Goddess of the Moon couldn't believe that Aiko was willing to go that far just to not wash the filth off her body.
"Fine, what?" Moon Aiko tilted her head.
"You can go inside that pond." The Goddess of the Moon clicked her tongue. If she didn't stop Aiko now, she would probably keep going until her fur was so silky smooth that even she would want to try to pet it!
"Good!" Moon Aiko immediately jumped out of her clothing and dived in.
*splash*
The Goddess of the Moon was flabbergasted by how quick Aiko was.
Shaking her head gently, she sipped her tea before disappearing.
Aiko's body floated to the top of the water as she floated around.
"This is nice~" Moon Aiko hummed as the water gently caressed her skin.
Moon Aiko suddenly had an epiphany. "What if I nurtured the Moon Bloodline with this?"
This was supposed to be something that nourished, and her Moon had the Seedling. If combined-
Water whirled around Moon Aiko.
[Refining the Heavenly Sacred Blood Water.]
'It works!' Moon Aiko closed her eyes and used the water to nourish the seedling.
[The Seedling is being nurtured.]
[Progress: 0.01%]
[Progress: 0.02%]
[Progress: 0.03%]
...
'So slow..." It takes a lot of energy out of her to nourish it, but the speed is still too slow!
'What if I refined the Blood nourishment directly...?' Moon Aiko pondered as she stopped refining. Even with her ridiculous mind, it was too hard to do this easily.
'This Tree is on Mei's list, but as an Immortal Tree, which means I'm supposed to have Immortal stats to deal with this and right now-' Moon Aiko glanced at her system.
[Your Mind stat is around Body Integration Cultivation Stage.]
'That seemed like it's not too bad, but it was seriously bad as the stats didn't scale linearly.
'I will have to work hard.' Moon Aiko nodded her head as she floated around again.
...
Moon Aiko bathed in the pond, making her skin even smoother. At some point, she even disabled the Qi technique that allowed her tails to stay dry to properly wash them.
As one might expect, that caused her beauty and storage to skyrocket.
[Beauty: 6.85M (685,312,559,280/100,000)]
V
[Beauty: 34,2M (3,426,562,796,400/100,000)]
"Well, shit..." Moon Aiko blinked at her stats. Her beauty was now in trillions!
'Improving the [Moonless Mist Shroud] will be hard, but I should definitely do it...' Moon Aiko nodded her head. It was troublesome that things turned out like this.
[Primordial Shop]
[Veiling Heavenly Secrets] - 1T Cultivation Points
[Enshrouding Moon's Eyes] - 100K Cultivation Points
Looking through her system, only these two were usable, but one was ridiculously expensive, while the other was closer, but still expensive.
[[Enshrouding Moon's Eyes] is twice as powerful as [Moonless Mist Shroud], but it does not stack.]
'That's too bad...' 2 times was not enough for Aiko to consider spending her Cultivation Points on this.
'Anything else?' Moon Aiko paused.
[There are no other techniques without severe demerits. You will have to come up with your own technique later on.]
'Tsk.' Moon Aiko clicked her tongue. This was quite bad, but still solvable.
'Let's not think about that for the time being.' Moon Aiko walked out of the pond slowly. She wanted to dry her tails, but...
'They are already dry?' Moon Aiko tilted her head. Does that mean this water would not seep into her tails? But she made sure they were nice and wet when she was inside!
'How strange...' Moon Aiko pondered on it for a bit, but then shook her head. 'As long as the benefits apply and I don't have to dry my tails, all is good.' She nodded her head gently as she wiped the rest of her body.
'Careful, careful [Clean].' Moon Aiko used [Clean] on her clothes, gently and carefully, so they wouldn't disintegrate.
Moon Aiko then went to the gazebo, all dressed up and looking gorgeous.
Sitting down, she pulled out a few things.
The books that she obtained from what was presumably her hidden admirer, some coffee beans and [Otherworldly Abyssal Fluff Cultivation Manual].
The last one was a bit weird. It was a Cultivation Manual, but it was also like Scripture.
It had several different parts that Aiko could use independently.
'First would be Illusion Clothing...' Moon Aiko shook her head.
While that sounded nice, and she didn't need to worry about clothing, the issue was with the Dragons and beings that could see through it. Moon Aiko was not skilled enough to deal with them yet, and she was not exhibitionist enough to deal with this.
Mei also might scold her, so she wouldn't use this for the time being.
'Fluff Veil...' Moon Aiko read through another part.
This one was all about keeping her fluff from being tainted, which Moon Aiko liked. The introduction was also easy enough that she could do it right now.
'Let's see.' Moon Aiko meditated and went through the process.
She could feel something silky smooth wrapping around her body.
'This should work?' Moon Aiko tilted her head.
She picked up some dirt and threw it at her tails.
The veil gently stirred and caved in, causing Aiko to be startled.
'Right, it's a veil, so its strength would depend on my mastery.' Moon Aiko nodded her head. She would be tainted if the Heavenly Lightning struck or something exploded near her, but the general dust would not be able to touch her for the time being.
[Learned [Fluff Veil]!]
[Fluff Veil]
[Creates a thin veil around the designated body, protecting it against filth. Its durability is low, since you have not mastered it enough.]
Moon Aiko nodded her head. So far, so good. This was also an Auxiliary Skill, so that meant she could use it even in her Human Body later!
Pausing her steps, she pondered. 'How about wearing a veil...' She had two options. The normal veil and bridal veil. The latter one would help to keep even her hair from others, but it would be problematic with her ears. The former was a lot easier since it wouldn't include her head and only either half of her face or her whole face.
'That should reduce some attention that others might give me, right?' Moon Aiko pondered on it.
Going through another part, it was all about Cultivation and Stages, but slightly different to what she was used to, so she postponed that part. Another part was about arousing her partners with her charms, but she already had her scent, so that one was not needed either.
While it would be fun to use both, Aiko worried that her partners might break.
There were more parts, but Moon Aiko was not really in the mood to go through all of them, so she placed them away.
'Taking Care of Fluff.' Moon Aiko opened another book.
'Oh, so if you use brushes at this angle, it hurts less and has the same, if not better effect.' Moon Aiko was surprised by how detailed this was.
'This would cut down the time I would have to take care of my tails, and with the [Fluff Veil] I would be able to keep the current care of my tails.' Moon Aiko nodded her head.
It took a few days to record and test everything inside the book, but Aiko was satisfied... mostly.
'My beauty spiked again...' Moon Aiko groaned. She would have to purchase that Auxiliary Skill soon!
Shaking her head gently, Moon Aiko took another book. 'How to please your partners...' She gently closed the book.
'Maybe it wouldn't hurt to take a peek.' Moon Aiko once again opened the book.
...
'How obscene! The one who wrote this was definitely a pervert!' Yet, Moon Aiko didn't stop reading it. There were soon good ideas about tails, ears and other parts of the body. She would definitely test them later, but for now, she would go vanilla.
Things could be spiced up any time, but you shouldn't immediately jump into it, as it wouldn't feel as refreshing later.
Moon Aiko nodded her head before closing the book.
The book melted like it was made out of pure thoughts.
'So, once I finish the book, it will turn into energy, disappearing, but I won't be able to erase it from my mind.' Moon Aiko nodded. Even without the [Perfect Memory], she could feel that she couldn't forget it.
'That is fine. Saves time for me.' Moon Aiko hummed, picking up another book.
...
"Ugh. This took so long." Moon Aiko stretched her sensual body before plopping onto the table. "I wanna have a nap." She yawned gently as her ears perked up mischievously.
'I wonder what is inside~' Moon Aiko immediately ran towards the entrance of the nice-looking home.
Opening the doors. Everything was either covered in furs or silk. One could even say that this place was created for a Goddess!
Shaking her head gently, Moon Aiko entered while touching almost everything.
'This is something I won't be able to get in the Mortal World.
Through her [Spiritual Insight], she not only concluded that this thing was very precious, but it was also packing a new form of Qi!
Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to extract it for the time being, so Moon Aiko gave up.
'Let's just sleep~' Moon Aiko turned into Sun Aiko. This place was quite cold, so it was better to sleep like this.
*Swish*
Sun Aiko immediately jumped onto the bed.
"Kyaaa!" A startled voice shrieked at her.
"Hm?" Sun Aiko perked her ears as she looked down.
"Eh? Pretty lady? Let's play!" Sun Aiko noticed that there was a cute girl under her and immediately pestered her.
"W-wait! Aiko, what are you doing here?!" The cute girl was shocked and tried to squirm away, but Sun Aiko's gentle and warm grip made her feel homely...
