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

It worked!

*Hong Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.*

Liu Ya's reaction showed that she and Xiao Ye had really formed a contract.

*Giving a hickey? Isn't that only something couples do?*

Yang Junming looked surprised and said,

"Damn, did Xiao Ye save all of humanity in his past life or what? He even bagged the hottest teaching assistant."

"But here's what I don't get. He already has three beast girls, so why the hell is he out drinking with maids? What kind of brain wiring does he have?"

All the Titan prodigy students showed their respect for Xiao Ye,

"Dude, even the famous hottest teaching assistant at Modu Academy became his beast girl. Assistant Liu Ya is literally the top dog beneath the Venerable Realm."

"No kidding, she's a rich lady ranked on the freshman list, a Great Venerable on the board. He's a total role model."

Hearing all these, Hong Tao, who'd already been thirsting for Liu Ya, had his smile drop back into a scowl.

Liu Ya was supposed to be his. He, Hong Tao, had to get that woman, but she was contracted by some little punk.

No way. He absolutely had to teach that punk Xiao Ye a lesson.

Hong Tao immediately messaged Liu Ya back,

"The address, Maid Tavern on ***Street and ***Road, Suite 98!"

"You gotta hurry up, or if the kid leaves, you'll never catch him."

"I can give you the Exotic Treasure—the Mixed Forest Treasure Sword. It's insanely sharp and can slice through anything. Guaranteed to cut in one go!"

Liu Ya: …

"Don't need it, who doesn't have scissors? Bye." (Offline)

Hong Tao stared as Liu Ya's profile went dim, showing she had logged off.

*What a shame,* Hong Tao thought. The Exotic Treasure in his space ring—the Mixed Forest Treasure Sword—didn't come in handy. Exotic Treasures were way better than scissors, slices through iron like it's mud.

When you cut an eel, it breaks in one go, and it even leaves behind the spiritual essence of a treasure weapon. After getting cut, if you don't have a Venerable Level healing treasure, there's no way to fix it back together.

Baldy started cackling wickedly and said, "Mr. Hong is such a genius. There's gonna be a good show soon."

Yang Junming rubbed his hands together, jealous, "That kid walks around flaunting his good luck, huh? Now look at this—he goes out to play with a maid, and is gonna get busted by his main chick."

All the Titan prodigy students grinned like they were ready for the drama.

Hong Tao cackled, "Bottom line, he's just too young. The good show's about to start. Let's snack on some seeds and enjoy the maids first."

All the Titan prodigies followed suit, giving evil laughs while running their hands all over the top-tier maids in their laps, as the maids shelled their snacks so they could eat the kernels.

Meanwhile, Suite 98.

With Xiao Ye watching from the corner of his eye, Liu Huo kept drinking imported liquor with Ace Maid No. 2.

As he enjoyed his service package, he chatted with Xiao Ye at the same time.

"Son-in-law, tomorrow I'm leaving for the Imperial Capital. You better take good care of Liu Ya, and live a happy, blessed life."

Xiao Ye had Ace Maid No. 1 in his arms and nodded, "Of course, no need for Father-in-law to remind me. As a husband, I definitely need to give Liu Ya a happy home."

"Mmm, judging by your clothes, you probably weren't born into a family of power, but a common family." As Liu Huo's hands wandered all over Ace Maid No. 2, he handed Xiao Ye a Crystal Core Savings Card and said,

"Maintaining a happy family takes a lot of money. There's some of my savings on this card, take it."

"!" Xiao Ye tried to push it back, eyes glued to the savings card, but said out loud, "No need."

Liu Huo shook his head with a drunken grin, "Dumb kid, just take it. If I sober up, maybe I won't give it to you!"

Xiao Ye swallowed and tentatively asked, "How many crystal cores are on it?"

Liu Huo frowned and poked the maid's pale finger, counting, "Not a ton. It's just half my savings. Should be over a hundred Great Venerable High-Grade Crystal Cores."

"Yeah, about the same as ten Venerable Level low-grade crystal cores."

"I've been saving for over a hundred years."

As he said this, he seemed to think of his late wife, looking wistful and regretful. He sighed and said,

"Sigh, these past few years, my realm hasn't improved—it's actually slipped. I dropped from the edge of the Venerable Realm, now I'm just at the start of Great Venerable Ten-Star. And my personal combat strength isn't even as good as another Great Venerable Ten-Star's summoned beast. Otherwise, I'd have saved up even more."

"If Xiaorou were still around, with over a hundred years of cultivation, we'd both at least be mid-grade Venerables by now, and my daughter and I wouldn't have all these rifts."

*Xiaorou? Must be Sister Liu Ya's mom.*

*Hearing Father-in-law's sadness, all Xiao Ye could do was quietly drink with him, as a show of comfort.*

But when he looked at the savings card on the table, his eyelids twitched. That was worth ten Venerable Level low-grade crystal cores.

*And he called that "not a ton"?*

*It was only half of Father-in-law's savings?*

*What had Father-in-law been through over the years to save up so many crystal cores?*

*He'd have to kill at least a hundred Great Venerable high-grade demon beasts to get that many!*

A hundred times two, that's two hundred Great Venerable high-grade demon beasts. That number was nuts!

"May I ask, Father-in-law, what have you been doing all these years in the Imperial Capital?" Xiao Ye asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Liu Huo's face instantly turned serious, and he whispered to Xiao Ye, "Looking for a way to take revenge."

"!" Xiao Ye's eyes widened.

*So Liu Huo had been planning revenge all this time.*

*But revenge for what? His wife's death? Was it against the Hong family, or the Supreme Demon Beast that started that Beast Tide?*

Seeing Xiao Ye frown and think hard, Liu Huo whispered again,

"Don't get involved, and don't ask about it again. You just make sure to give Liu Ya the happiness she wants. The revenge is mine alone!"

In that instant, Liu Huo's figure seemed to grow taller and prouder in Xiao Ye's eyes.

Xiao Ye gave him a thumbs-up and thought, *This is a real man.*

"Hahaha! We're not leaving till we're smashed tonight. Come on, son-in-law, let's drink!" Liu Huo changed the subject, grabbing the glass Ace Maid No. 2 had filled and toasting Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye stowed away the savings card and toasted him back. Check My Virtual Library Empire (MV1LEMP1YR) for the latest updates.

Then the two went back to chatting intermittently, playing with the maids and drinking at the same time.

But just then, the door to the suite exploded open with a "Bang!"—kicked by a long, slender, snow-white leg.

Next, a curvy, insanely gorgeous, mature and sexy woman stormed in with a furious face.

Her delicate, pale fingers gripped a huge pair of scissors, the razor edges glinting with cold, white light.

"Who the hell dares to kick open my suite door? You got a death wish?" Xiao Ye shouted.

Liu Huo and Xiao Ye both looked over, ready to vent their anger—but as soon as they saw that stunning, furious face with eyes practically spitting fire, they immediately wilted like shriveled eggplants.

Xiao Ye stammered, "L-Liu Ya—Sister Liu Ya—what are you doing here?"

Liu Huo raised his sleeve to cover his head, holding his breath and hoping not to be recognized.

At this moment, both Ace Maids were still sitting on Xiao Ye's and Liu Huo's laps.

Liu Ya's gaze swept past Liu Huo, who was cowering in the corner of the table, and landed on Xiao Ye—and the beautiful maid on his lap. Her impressive, intimidating chest heaved up and down with anger, her eyes blazing with fire. She pointed at Xiao Ye and said,

"You—you really let me down, Xiao Ye!"

Liu Ya glanced at the giant scissors in her right hand, her pretty face twisting into a fierce look, then charged toward Xiao Ye…
