Animal-eared Girl Era: Start by Forming a Contract with an SSS-Class School Belle

Yang Junming's eyelid twitched nonstop, *feeling like his whole perception of the world just got rewritten.*

He looked at Hong Tao in disbelief, finding it hard to comprehend, "Brother Tao, the records in the College Entrance Exam division should be one hundred percent accurate, right?"

Hong Tao's mouth twitched, he also thought it was wild—*how on earth could there be a Beastmaster out there who could contract two Beast Girls at the same time?*

"Uh, it's probably real."

Both Children of the Venerable found it hard to believe, while the many Titan prodigies were even more shocked by this news.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

After a long while, the first to recover was Yang Junming, who suddenly had an idea and said,

"Brother Tao, if this Xiao Ye can contract two Beast Girls, then is it possible…"

Hong Tao's eyes glinted, giving him a sharp look, "You mean, Liu Ya became his third Beast Girl?"

Yang Junming nodded nonstop, "Yeah."

Hong Tao stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "If that's the case, then Liu Ya and that Xiao Ye might really have signed a contract."

"If that's true, this pretty boy Xiao Ye would have three Beast Girls contracted at the same time, and could summon three Contracted Beasts at once."

"If he ever leveled up in the future, then…"

"Hsss!" "Hsss!" Both Hong Tao and Yang Junming sucked in a sharp breath.

They stared at each other, eyes wide in shock.

Three Summoned Beasts—if all of them advanced to the Venerable Realm, that would be three Venerable-level Summoned Beasts!

At that point, this pretty boy would be unbeatable among his peers. No, he'd be invincible in the Venerable Realm.

Realizing how serious this was, Hong Tao hurriedly pulled out his family's communication device to tell his father, a top-tier Venerable, about the news.

Such shocking intel, he had to warn his dad so he could make preparations in advance.

Watching the two Children of the Venerable sucking in breath after breath, the bald-headed manager looked at Xiao Ye's upper-body portrait on the virtual screen, wanting to say something but holding back.

"Reporting to you two Sirs, this Xiao Ye is actually at the Maid Tavern right now." He finally decided to speak up.

If he could provide a key bit of info, maybe he'd get in with the Venerable's family.

"Oh?" Both Hong Tao and Yang Junming were surprised. A college freshman, hanging out at the Maid Tavern?

Seeing they seemed interested, the bald-headed manager gave them a knowing look, raised an eyebrow, and said,

"Heh, about half an hour ago, Xiao Ye came in with a scruffy-looking white-haired dude, but that's not the important part."

"What matters is, they requested the Ace Maid Service."

"That white-haired guy even specifically asked for the 'not-so-proper' kind of service."

Two people, ace maids, not-so-proper service?

Suddenly, Hong Tao came up with a way to verify if Xiao Ye really was Liu Ya's new Contractor.

"Can you get footage of what they're up to right now?" Hong Tao looked up and asked.

The bald-headed manager looked a little troubled and said, "Well, I do have a way, but we take customer privacy very seriously here at the Maid Tavern. Usually, we never leak anything."

"That's in normal cases, but this is special!" Yang Junming tossed him a Venerable-level, low-tier Crystal Core, "Is that enough?"

The bald-headed manager shook his head.

Yang Junming's face darkened, so he threw out a Venerable-level, high-tier Crystal Core, "Don't push your luck. Take it and help us out!"

The bald-headed manager grinned.

Yang Junming looked satisfied, "Take it, and get us a snapshot of Xiao Ye living it up with the Ace Maid right now."

The bald-headed manager pushed the two Venerable-level Crystal Cores right back across the table, fawning as he turned to Hong Tao and said, ThischapterwasmadepossiblebytheMV_LEMPYRcommunity.

"Mr. Hong, how could I ever take money for something you asked me to do?"

"If it were anyone else, no matter how many Crystal Cores they offered, I wouldn't budge; but if it's for Mr. Hong, it's my top priority."

"Don't worry, I got this!" The bald-headed manager thumped his chest for emphasis.

Yang Junming: …

*Feels like you're throwing shade at me or something.*

Hong Tao laughed, clapped the bald-headed man on the shoulder, "Not bad, you've got potential."

Getting Hong Tao's praise, the bald-headed manager grinned from ear to ear, and quickly pulled out a tablet, logging into the tavern's security suite.

A few seconds later, the situation in every booth in the Maid Tavern popped up on the tablet's virtual display.

Square little surveillance screens filled the panel.

All kinds of Titan prodigy students gathered to take a look, sweeping over the inside of the various booths.

Some just drank, some used booze as an excuse to grope the maids, some went all in and hooked up with the maids, staging live-action spring palace battles.

There were over a thousand booths. The bald-headed man kept scrolling through, searching one by one, and while doing so, he commented with a grin,

"Our Ace Maids here at the Maid Tavern are all young, highly skilled, and great drinking buddies. They offer all kinds of services, some proper, some… not so much. I'd bet right now, Xiao Ye and his friend are in the middle of a passionate battle."

Yang Junming curled his lip, sneering, "Xiao Ye, huh. Valedictorian getting sidetracked by girls, hope he doesn't waste his talent."

Hong Tao gave a disdainful look, "Back when I was a freshman, I hollered about slaughtering Demon Beasts every day. Any free time, I headed straight out of the city for some real wild Beast action! Unlike kids these days—slacking off and chasing chicks every chance they get."

"Uh!" Most of the Titan prodigies in booths were freshmen or sophomores, and hearing this, an awkward smile crept across their faces.

*Is the coach throwing shade at us right now?*

Yang Junming looked over with admiring eyes and said, "No wonder you're Brother Tao—real man!"

"Found them!" Right then, the bald-headed manager hunting through the cams suddenly shouted in excitement.

On the virtual screen, the view switched to full screen.

It was HD surveillance.

Inside: a dashing young man and a scruffy white-haired guy, both drinking in silence. Two maids stood obediently at the table, no physical contact whatsoever—hell, their clothes didn't even have a wrinkle.

This showed that Xiao Ye and his friend were seriously just there to drink, not for any funny business with the maids.

Yang Junming's eyes lit up, "Damn, that's actually pretty cool, they really are just here for drinks."

Hong Tao's smile froze, "Just for drinks? Well, that's lame. I was hoping for something juicier."

The Titan prodigy students watching from the booths felt even more embarrassed on their faces.

*Damn, so they're the only ones actually here for the drinks and nothing else?*

Xiao Ye, the valedictorian, just came for a normal drink!

The bald-headed manager was honestly surprised, "That scruffy dude specifically told me they wanted a proper service, turns out they really only came to drink."

*He'd misunderstood—took 'proper' to mean 'not-so-proper' service.*

The bald-headed man shot a glance at Hong Tao's slightly disappointed face, and instantly guessed what Hong Tao wanted to see.

So, the bald head whipped out the floor manager's command device and contacted the two Ace Maids next to Xiao Ye.

"Get flirty, and there's a reward if you pull it off!"

As soon as the command was sent, the two Ace Maids' implanted receivers beeped in their heads. They exchanged a glance, and immediately sprang into action.

"Sir, the drink spilled on your face. Let me wipe it off for you," came a sweet, soft voice from the maid.

The ace maid's delicate body leaned up against Xiao Ye, and just as he stared in shock, she whipped out her panties and started wiping the booze off the corner of his mouth and his neck.

"!" Xiao Ye was floored—*who the hell uses something like that to wipe off a drink?* He pushed the maid away quick, letting her know she didn't need to do all that.

At that moment, Liu Huo was zonked out from drinking, totally lost in his own painful memories, not in the mood for the maids at all, and just pushed one away hard without even looking.

"Scram, don't bother me while I'm drinking."

In front of the presidential booth's virtual screen, Hong Tao burst out laughing, "That's plenty!"

"Take a screenshot of that, I'm sending it to Liu Ya!"

"Perfect way to confirm whether Xiao Ye's the new Contractor for Liu Ya!"
