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

If a Demon Beast Group had multiple King Beast bloodlines, then Xiao Ye could extract several Supreme Crystals from it.

This was something worth celebrating for Xiao Ye.

*Otherwise, if he had to collect fifty Supreme Crystals, was he really supposed to wipe out fifty Demon Beast Groups?*

"Zee zee zee! Chee chee chee chee!"

Suddenly, an agitated screeching echoed from the direction of the mound.

Looking over, more than twenty mutant groundhog beasts, under the commanding presence of a King Beast, were gathering and surrounding Xiao Ye and Liu Ya.

Apparently, they'd realized Xiao Ye had slaughtered their prince.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Talent Skill, Wall-Passing Mastery, allowed seamless movement through solid objects, with no restriction on earth mounds, boulders, or wood.

Each of them suddenly buried its head and burrowed underground, leaving behind a tiny pile of dirt.

Xiao Ye and Liu Ya exchanged a glance, then lightly leapt up into the ancient tree.

With a bang, dozens of sharp fangs thrust up from underground right where they'd been standing. If they'd been any slower, they might've been skewered like a sieve.

Seeing the ambush had failed, the sharp fangs disappeared back beneath the ground.

Then Liu Ya scoffed coldly, grabbed Xiao Ye by the shoulder, and jumped up, floating in midair.

"Bang!" Right where they'd been standing on the ancient tree, four or five sharp fangs shot out from the trunk. Visit Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (МV-LЕМР-YR) fоr mоrе.

If they'd been a second slower, both of them would've been minced.

*Xiao Ye clicked his tongue in amazement. These mutant groundhog beasts could tunnel easily through earth, and even through ancient trees. This shuttling skill was pretty damn good—perfect for catching enemies off guard.*

"Teach, why not wipe out this whole mutant groundhog beast group and leave them all badly injured? I'll make use of them," Xiao Ye said, acting casual.

These mutant groundhog beasts clearly weren't going to leave their bodies exposed in the open, so it'd be a pain to catch them himself. Might as well let Great Venerable Liu Ya take care of it.

This way he could quickly harvest Rule Fragment Crystals, clear out this place, and then head to the next Demon Beast Group with maximum efficiency.

"Wipe them all out?" Liu Ya raised her brow, "That's probably not gonna happen."

"But since they attacked us, these Demon Beasts, I can deal with them!"

With her spiritual telekinesis spreading out, everything within ten miles was instantly laid bare in her mind.

That included the mutant groundhog beasts hidden underground and within the ancient tree.

She lightly raised her fair hand upward.

Bang bang bang! The sounds rang out one after another.

Pits burst open in the ground, and each mutant beast, limbs flailing helplessly, popped out, floating midair.

Holes also blasted open in the ancient tree, seven or eight Grandmaster six-star mutant beasts emerging with terrified eyes.

These mutant beasts let out frantic, frightened screeches, completely immobilized and hanging midair.

Liu Ya's pale hand clenched tight.

"Boom!" With that, the twenty-plus mutant groundhog beasts floating midair got hit like they were rammed by a semi-truck. Their insides shattered, blood spurted from their mouths, and their eyes rolled back—clearly dead meat.

Xiao Ye took the opportunity to secretly activate the Template Adjuster's extraction function.

An epic scene played out next.

*All twenty-plus mutant beasts looked like they were facing hell itself. Their bodies began to rot and decay, withering from the limbs up until they completely turned to dust.*

[Grandmaster six-star mutant beast, successfully extracted 10 Creation Crystals]

Xiao Ye was grinning, with 25 more crystals added to his system space.

But just then, a cautious, girlish shout sounded from beside him, "Which Venerable Lord is making a move, please reveal yourself!"

"Sneaking around and snatching others' loot—Venerable Lord, aren't you ashamed?"

Liu Ya's delicate face twisted in anger. She held Xiao Ye, both of them suspended in midair, her gorgeous eyes sharply scanning the area.

Back at the Blazing Fire Demon Beast Group, Demon Beast corpses had vanished into thin air—she'd put up with that. But this Venerable Lord kept stealing others' loot over and over, and Liu Ya finally snapped.

*Hearing this, Xiao Ye was floored.*

Other people couldn't detect the extraction power of the Template Adjuster. All they could see was Demon Beast corpses rotting away and disappearing.

*But he hadn't expected Liu Ya to misinterpret things.*

Just then, while Liu Ya's spiritual power was laser-focused, a sleazy laugh came from the side, "The Venerable Lord is here, pretty lady, wash up and wait for me to get on top of you!"

"!" Liu Ya was startled, immediately turning her full attention toward the source of the voice.

Soon after, she gasped in shock, "Xiao Ye, was that your doing?"

Xiao Ye wore a wicked grin, saying,

"Of course it was this Venerable Lord, what's the matter, you don't wanna obey my orders?"

Wash up and wait for him to get on top?

Liu Ya's lovely face blushed, and she shot him a sultry look, "Xiao Ye, so it really was you! I honestly thought someone snatched my stuff."

Dangling by her shoulder, Xiao Ye reached up and pinched Liu Ya's pretty cheek.

"Yeah, these mutant beasts are useful to me. Later, just do what you did earlier—beat the entire group until they're all half-dead, especially the ones with King Beast bloodlines."

He pointed at the gigantic dirt mounds.

Liu Ya wrinkled her brow and shook her head, "No can do, I can't help again. What I did just now was an exception."

"These Demon Beast Groups are all captured by the practical training base for the elite students to practice against."

Xiao Ye's gaze grew sharp, "Do it anyway or else I'll make you beg for mercy tonight!"

Liu Ya's lips curled in a smile, "No means no, I'll just wait for you to make me beg for mercy."

Xiao Ye: ...

*He'd always been the one begging for mercy before and probably always would be in the future.*

Xiao Ye frowned, "Your disciple is the Deputy Director, just make up an excuse and smooth it over, right?"

Liu Ya rolled her eyes at him, refusing, "I never use my disciples' resources. I teach without expecting payback, that's my principle."

Xiao Ye: ...

*So holy, huh? Aren't you impressive!*

Xiao Ye's eyes lit up, "What if I put myself in danger and you save me by killing all these mutant beasts? That work for you?"

Liu Ya's lips twitched and her bright eyes showed disdain, "How did I never notice how shameless you could be before?"

"Xiao Ye, I hope you don't force me to do things against my principles, okay?" she said, looking at Xiao Ye with pure hope.

"Uh…" Xiao Ye was left speechless. *This was the downside of being weaker than her. If he were stronger, he could boss around this Teach all day.*

If Liu Ya refused to help, the pace of extracting Rule Crystals would drop sharply, and his efficiency would tank.

"How about this, I show you my big treasure again?" Xiao Ye tried to bribe her.

Big treasure? Liu Ya's eyes sparkled.

In a flash, Liu Ya dragged Xiao Ye into the dense canopy of the ancient tree.

"Hurry up, show me your big treasure!" Liu Ya demanded eagerly, her face full of longing.

Xiao Ye concealed all unusual phenomena from a Supreme Crystal, took one out of his pocket, and held it on his palm, saying,

"Here, this is the big treasure you wanted."

"Wow!" Liu Ya exclaimed in amazement, taking it from him and staring at it without blinking, caressing it with her hands.

"Hey, this one's a little different from before, isn't it?"

"It gives off such a strong sense of pressure, makes you want to submit."

Xiao Ye said evenly, "You like it?"

Liu Ya nodded repeatedly, "Like it? Of course I like it!"
