The Fox Goddess

"No problem!" Yuki said while containing her anger.

Rong Su and Song Xing were lucky enough for Yumie to help them with her presence so that Yuki would not do anything to them.

After they finished all of their food all of them began to clean up, but most of it was cleaned up by Rong Su and Song Xing since it was their way to repay Yuki's and Yumie's favor.

Finally, after they were done they went back to the cave to only see Yuki sitting next to the giant egg and caressing it like a baby. They were still confused about why the egg is special to Yuki, even though Yumie was curious and couldn't help but ask, "Yuki why do you care about that egg so much?"

Yuki then turned around to answer her question, "It's my baby." Yuki only said three words and it shocked Yumie.

"Wha... What do you mean?" Yumie stuttered while asking.

"It's not my biological child, ok? Let's just say that it was my reward for accomplishing something great!" Yuki answered with a simple answer, but Yumie was unsatisfied and kept asking questions.

Sadly Yuki didn't answer anymore, Yuki will answer all of it once the egg finally hatches, but Yuki will probably not say anything about her system since it's pretty dangerous even if she is her Contacted Beast.

Yuki was afraid that there is memory-searching magic or power in this world so she doesn't want to take a risk about it since she is probably the first person to get a power that makes you stronger by killing and accomplishing quests.

In the end, Yuki will only lie to Yumie by saying that she found the egg abandoned when she roamed around the forest after killing Humans.

After not getting any answer from Yuki, Yumie finally gave up and went to lie down in her leaf bed. Soon after Yuki followed and went to hug Yumie's body and doze off without a care.

Rong Su and Song Xing felt neglected but they cannot complain to them since they were afraid, so they can also lie in the bed that they got from Song Xing's Spacial Ring and lie down side by side.

They were embarrassed at first by sleeping with each other but they calmed their nerves by saying to themselves, 'Nothing is going to happen. You're just going to sleep with each other, nothing else.'

Soon they finally slept soundly, then morning came.

The sun shined through the cave waking up Yuki first, Yuki wiped her eyes with her paws before getting out of bed slowly to not wake up Yumie.

Then she went outside to stretch her body, and after stretching she went to the river to freshen up.

After doing her morning routine, she glanced back at the cave to only see Yumie, Rong Su, and Song Xing sleeping soundly, so she let them sleep for more and went outside to hunt for their breakfast.

This time she only hunts some normal beasts, specifically rabbits since Yuki was too lazy to fight some Savage Beast right after waking up.

Once Yuki got home after her hunt she saw that those three were finally awake so she greeted Yumie but only glanced at the two.

Rong Su and Song Xing didn't feel offended but they did feel sad because of the way Yuki was treating them, but what can they do since Yuki was angry at Humans? But they were still lucky that Yuki had invited them to breakfast.

All of them began to eat but then Song Xing remembered something so she asked Yuki.

"Ummm... Yuki, what are your plans for the future?" Song Xing asked and when Yuki raised her head to look at her, she suddenly felt nervous and added, "I was just curious. Because I don't think that you will stay here in this Moon Rock Forest for long since you will not get any stronger here, because the strongest Beast in here is rumored to be an Ancient Warrior Beast!"

Yuki was stunned when she heard Song Xing so she began to think about what she should do.

At first, Yuki didn't care if she was strong or not, but after seeing the Humans twice and what they wanted to do she now wanted to be strong so that she can protect herself and her friends and family.

"But don't worry! You can always go to higher heaven!" Rong Su added after seeing the frown on Yuki's face.

"Higher Heaven?" Yuki repeated Rong Su's words in her mind.

'Why did I not know anything about this?' So Yuki then decided to ask Fubuki.

"Hey what is this Higher Heaven?"

Ding

[The system cannot tell you. But if the host wants she must be a Demonic Beast to get the other half of the Guide.] Fubuki answered.

'What! I have only read the half, no way that was already a lot of information!' Yuki thought to herself. Yuki was now very interested so she asked Fubuki again to ask what is inside the other half, hoping that Fubuki will tell her.

[The other half contains the other race maps and all about the Higher Heaven.] Fubuki answered.

When Yuki heard Fubuki she was shocked that there was still much more than she needed to learn, so she began to think about getting to Demonic Beast as soon as possible.

Rong Su and Song Xing looked at Yuki who was not speaking, so they thought that she was thinking so Song Xing decided to help her out.

"How about going to the Royal Beast Academy to study?"

"Academy... Wait what!?" Yuki said then shot a look at the two who were stunned by Yuki's sudden outburst.

"Yes. It is a place for all Beasts to go, there are no humans in there and your teachers are all great warriors. But they have a strict rule to get into the academy." Song Xing explains.

"Wait! Tell me first what the Academy is!"

"Okay! If I remember correctly the founder of the Academy is the Legendary Dragon Race, so they are very proud of it. The Academy has a peace treaty with the other Academy since all of the Academy wants to have a good seedling to them that's why they don't have a conflict with each other. Like the Human, Elves, Dwarves School, they don't fight with each other but they do have a competition every 100 years to see who is the strongest."

Yuki answered with a hum and gestured her paw for Song Xing to continue.

"I have also heard that even though the Academy is founded by the Dragon Race, they needed the help of other Beasts, that's why other Beast races can also go to the school. Phoenix, Fox, Lizard, and every other Beast Race."

After hearing Song Xing's long explanation, Yuki thought that it was a great opportunity for her and Yumie since they will both learn more about magic. Yuki will be the one who will benefit from this since she still doesn't know the world she is currently living in.

Even though she has a guide it only teaches Yuki about the surface level that she needs to know why going to an Academy is also good, so she decided that she wants to go to the school.

"Okay! But how do I get in?"
