"Just act nice, and you won't die, Mira. I'm not that sure about Woolly, but if he dies, we'll just eat him." Meadows said with a confident voice, as they landed at the Outer Tower.
Meadows had transformed into a red-haired beauty, with rosy cheeks and generous puppies pushing against her dress. As new Divine, I also subtly changed my body, giving myself two inches more.
Mira shivered, probably less encouraged by the fox girl words, who was now wearing a rare artifact disguised as a pretty pink dress. And waving all the four tails like a dog in heat, likely from being eager to meet me.
I turned off the Concealment Skill, and waited for a second for the trio of visitors to discover me, while I was sipping tea and sitting beside them at a stone table.
"Honk!" the woolly pig exclaimed, and jumped a hundred meters in the air like a scared cat.
"Tower Saint! How..." Mira wondered at my surprise reveal, while Meadows just ran and jumped in my lap, then presented her tails to be petted.
"Pef! Got my human form now! You like?" Meadows asked in an exuberant voice.
I pointed a finger to catch the pig before it crashed into the courtyard and demolished the fragile stone ornaments, then the pig vanished into the Tower. Worst case, we could indeed eat the woolly mammoth-sized pig.
I just wrapped my favorite fluffy tails around my neck and sighed, content at last. This soft feeling was bliss, and the Divine tails were even softer now.
"I see you two met already. My favorite fox and my favorite Libra Lieutenant." I said in a wry tone, ignoring the deadly glare pointed at me by Mira.
"Do you know other Libra Lieutenants?" Mira asked in a sharp tone.
"Of course not! You're the only one for me, Lady Mira." I replied in a confident voice.
"You can't breed her before me! She's not even wearing a dress!" Meadows proclaimed in a jealous voice, and fluttered her pink frills by waving her Qi in a clever way. Must have practiced a bit to get the effect right.
Mira just frowned, but didn't argue, which was a bit weird. "I see you have also Ascended to Divine Realm, since we last met." Mira observed with a curious voice. She was also wearing the Libra blue uniform and a suit of chainmail under her robes.
I nodded and hugged Meadows in my arms, while gently pawing about her human body to feel if everything was where it should be. Plump flesh and tight muscles, but wrapped in a layer of soft skin that felt like silk.
"I am a bit special, even more than the other Tower members. Two months ago I was only in Houtian Realm. And in one or two months from now, I'll be in Manifestation Realm." I explained in a gentle voice. I still had more training to do as a Divine cultivator.
The Divine Core Realm woman just raised an eyebrow, then nodded. "I understand. No wonder my Captain said I should consider you his equal." she replied in a flat voice.
Either Mira's mental power was through the roof, or her Captain could read the future somehow. Both possible, in this crazy cultivation world.
"So, have you considered my offer?" I asked with a kind smile.
Mira shook her head, while Meadows growled in warning. "If you're serious about it, we can talk about it, after the demon threat is over. We may all die soon enough, and this world as well." Mira spoke in a professional tone.
Oh well. Then she better not die. I would be fine even if I did.
"Keep yourself safe, Mira. The Tower is eternal." I answered in a wry voice, then leaned down to taste the lips of my favorite fox girl.
Like a flash of lightning, my soul merged with Meadows and we sank into my soul Tower, where Meadows retained her pink dress and red tails, and only grew a bit taller, matching the tall Mira in size. Like absolutely identical. Not by coincidence.
She moaned in my mouth, then grabbed my soul dick with her tails and started rubbing it, for an infinite amount of pleasure.
I have tried many pleasurable things with my wives, but Meadows and her soul tails beat everything by a stack of galaxies.
"This feels amazing, Meadows! I bet you wanted to surprise me." I managed to say, then grunted and blew my load to cover Meadows in a shower of manly Yang energy.
"I know you took that pink Dragon. You had to, or your soul might not withstand the Divine Tribulation. Even for me, it was quite scary." the fox lover growled with a weak, but jealous voice.
I shrugged, content to accept her own rationalization. "Now spill, what's up with you and Mira? Why did she look for you?"
"Her Captain sent Mira to protect our world, and she went to meet the Jade Core Snail, of course. Another Divine Core would be a strong asset against the demons. But the old snail refused and sent her to me." Meadows explained while licking her tails clean.
I had no idea we shared this world with a Divine Core Spirit Beast. Then again, it was only a snail. Not a fierce and teritorial beast like a tiger or a bear. Something like Ursun would have been like an Old God otherwise.
"And why would my fluffy red fox be refered to Mira, by a Core Realm beast?" I asked curious.
"...I might have terrorized the Jade Spirit Forest a little?" Meadows admitted with a sheepish voice.
"I trained you well." I realized a bit too late. I also robbed the Oracle Mountain and the Heaven Basin, giving my fox a great example to follow.
"And, I also robbed all the Divine Beasts of their rare herbs. Then made Woolly dig out even more, his nose is quite special..." Meadows continued with a proud voice. Well, I couldn't argue with that. I did tell her to bring me some spirit herbs.
With a defeated sigh, I returned to the Outer Tower, and kissed Meadows once more. Damn, missed her, and it's only been one week. I missed Ming even more.
So I stood up, and simply went to hug Mira. "I'm glad you came, Mira. If you can teach us some military tactics and tricks to deal with the Demons, it should be enough already. Don't risk your life too much."

The Libra girl patted my back a bit awkwardly. "I'm not so fragile, Young Master. Although it's nice to see you care about my safety."
"Come, let's enter the Tower and I'll offer you something good to eat. I bet you had enough of army rations." I offered in a kind voice, then held out a hand for Meadows, before I shifted into the Tower.
As it happens, Bai was waiting for me in the Tower plaza, and noticed Meadows right away.
"Meadows! You grew up into a real girl!" she yelled and ran to hug the fox girl.
"Of course I did, little rabbit. I see you're close to your Divine Ascension too. Good soul power." Meadows noticed, before her eyes locked on the stone pillar with the kill scores.
"Hehe. Hubby really took the lead after his Ascension. Now we are all waiting to see if Amelia will match his score." Bai said in a proud voice.
"9900 kills as a Saint? That's quite something. Amelia will be crazy strong in the next realm." Meadows noted while searching her old score, barely 56 kills.
"Just go, fox girl. I know you are crazy strong now." Bai urged her towards the Soul Array.
Meadows sped up and vanished into the array, while I took Mira's hand and guided her to sit down for a Spirit Feast, plus a Dragon steak.
"That's an Illusion Array? For training." Mira asked a bit curious.
"Mostly illusions. It is quite difficult to pass as Saint, with Divine Realm enemies, but those who do become extremely strong. Amelia is a special case, with a toxic body physique, so she doesn't really count." I answered and pointed towards Amelia who rested beside the Sword Array.
"Hmmm. I've seen Hundred Poison Bodies before. This girl...is not like them." Mira said with a wary voice.
Well, Amelia had a different physique, much stronger. I lucked out with a few special physiques among my girls.
Grandpa appeared beside me, and measured Mira for a long minute. 'Mira Teclis. Late Divine Core, Metal Tyrant physique, age 92800. Sword Heart, Metal Godhead, Gold Soul. Someone has guided her on the Metal path.'
'She can shift her body to metal? Or is it her Qi aspect?' I asked to make sure. That sounded quite useful.
'Perhaps can shift one hand, for now. She cannot Manifest yet, not without a lot of training. And she likes you.' Grandpa added with a smirk, then flew away.
I watched as Mira ate the Divine Feast, and thought what will I be able to manifest, after I took the Nirvana Pill. Metal sounded quite nice too.
"You like the food? I hunted that Divine Dragon myself." I asked with a smile.
"And now another Dragon is flying around looking for it. Thousand Suns Sect as well." Mira countered with a careless voice.
I had a feeling this sect was quite powerful, but then so was my Tower. Or will be.
"I know. The plan is to scatter some Dragon bits for the Demons to find, and provoke the Dragon into a rage battle. Easy way to make an ally, right?" I said with an ironic voice.
Mira shook her head, and turned to watch Meadows crawl out of the Soul Array, leaking blood from a thousand cuts.
"Our array is not just an illusion. Too much effort and you can even die. Still, 1500 kills for Meadows is pretty good. I barely reached 2000 kills, as a Saint." I explained with a patient voice.
Mira stood up, and took my hand. "Show me!" she asked with a determined voice.
Hand-in-hand, we walked into the Soul Array, and began crossing the Demon waves, with Mira only smacking the Demons that attacked her directly. Otherwise I had to kill everything by myself, not that it was hard anymore.
"Oh, a Demon veteran!" Mira exclaimed and caught the last culprit in wave 64, holding it by the neck like a chicken.
"Yeah. Gave me a lot of trouble, until I grew stronger. After him comes the really fun part." I commented and shot a Vajra bolt into the choking mouth of the Demon, blowing up its head.
The red desert world grew silent for a second, then the sky winked open into a demonic portal, and Demons began to pout through.
"This would be a major invasion, if they had some higher realm Demons. And a real invasion, if they also had Netherbeasts and swarms of little Imp Saints." Mira commented in a calm voice, mostly watching me as I demolished the invading fake Demons.
"And this would be a proper invasion defense, if I knew how to close the portal. As it is now, I can only massacre them for hours, hoping for a clue." I grumbled and kept butchering Demons, without even looking at the portal.
With my Divine Sense and energy swords, I could create a blender of death, while floating and reading my True Qi scroll.
I didn't find any hidden clues in the bamboo strips, but even just holding the scroll made the conversion of my Qi a bit faster. It also hurt a lot, since Qi passed through my dantian and meridians, and I was performing the equivalent of kidney dialysis, to transform my Qi into True Qi, but without a dialysis machine.
"I've seen enough, Pef. We can go." Mira said after getting bored.
"Doesn't work that way. We either win, or we die. We never won this stage." I said with a careless shrug. It was a white lie, since Grandpa could get us out, but I wanted to see the Libra Army in action.
"And you keep fighting until your Qi runs out? No wonder you reach those kill numbers to brag about. Very brave, not that smart." Mira spoke with a sad voice, then flew into, and through the Demon swarm, then pinched the portal closed.
"Teach me that! I'll feed you more Divine Feasts! I'll even give you my body if you want!" I offered with a heavy heart.
Mira smirked, then came to hug me by herself. "Little Pef, you think you can bribe me so easily?" she whispered while blowing hot air in my ear.
"Yes?" I answered with a meek voice.
"I want those tails. They seem fun." Mira nodded towards an angry red fox girl, glaring at us.
"Never!" we both yelled in outrage.
