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

This Eastern Golden Dragon was huge, so freaking long!

Its massive dragon head alone could swallow an entire person, and its dragon eyes sparkled like twin little suns. The body stretched out to an astonishing length of over a thousand meters.

As it swam through the sky, even the Five Elements seemed ecstatic for it.

"Is this the Emperor Realm?" Yunxi's cool, stunning little face showed some surprise.

The place on the ground that belonged to Xiao Ye had already turned to ruins. The villa's walls lay shattered and collapsed all around, leaving only a deep pit in the center.

She carefully sensed the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, her shock clear as she said,

"Only Tier One? Mortal Realm, Tier One?"

Below Grandmaster was the Mortal Realm.

This made Yunxi really confused. How could a Demon Beast at Mortal Realm Tier One give off an aura stronger than even the Saint Realm?

*Standing there as a top Venerable, staring at the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, she still felt so tiny herself.*

*That feeling was exactly like a low-level life encountering a higher-level existence.*

After a closer look, Liu Ya suddenly understood.

She figured out why being in front of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon made her feel so small and why its aura felt even stronger than the Saint Realm.

Because the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's level of life was that high!

Just like when a human stands before a deity, even without any aura or realm suppressed, a person could still feel their own smallness.

"Since you've come to visit Kunpeng Academy, as the Dean I'm thrilled to welcome you, but your destroying our facilities and disturbing our students and teachers—what exactly are you trying to do?"

Yunxi cupped her fists, speaking in a cold voice. That chilly womanly tone landed in the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's ears like a bomb going off.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was stunned by the sudden outburst, and then looked up, spotting a cool beauty floating above Liu Ya, staring icily down at it.

"That's Dean Yunxi!"

Nangong Siyao started to panic, her voice trembling, "Xiao Ye, the commotion we're making is way too big, we've pissed off Iceberg Dean, what now?"

Dean Yunxi looked exactly like Vice-Dean Yun Bing, both drop-dead gorgeous.

But Yunxi was the utter embodiment of an ice queen, like an emotionless machine. Messing with her never ended well.

Xiao Ye reassured, "Relax, I've got this."

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon swam about in the sky, flying toward Yunxi.

Down below, Liu Ya's heart skipped a beat and she quickly called out, "Dean, this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon is a summoned beast belonging to one of our Academy's students, not some wild Demon Beast invading us."

"Xiao Ye, did you know? Last year's top student, his summoned beast was the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon."

Yunxi's frosty little face froze, her eyes wide as she said, "Xiao Ye?"

Liu Ya brightened, "Right, Xiao Ye was brought into Kunpeng Academy by the Vice-Dean. You know him?"

At this point, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon arrived at Yunxi, her beautiful eyes narrowing as she stared, "You are Xiao Ye?"

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon nodded its huge head, "That's right! Siyao and I were just cultivating, and somehow the Golden Dragon mutated during practice, its size blew up a hundred times over, but the realm actually dropped down to Tier One."

Hearing this, Yunxi's delicate brows knitted in utter confusion. *A mutation during cultivation with no warning?*

After the mutation, the level of life was elevated, stepping out from the category of ordinary life.

*She had never heard of anything like that before.*

Usually, only with a major breakthrough in realm could someone's level of life rise as well.

How could cultivating alone elevate life level?

It was like eating dinner, or taking a dump, and suddenly just becoming a millionaire.

*Totally baffled, Yunxi was a little curious, but honestly had zero interest in digging deeper.*

So, after a quick word of advice, she left.

"Xiao Ye, if you have time, come by my villa. There's something I want to talk to you about."

*Xiao Ye was utterly confused. He'd just given her a massage a few days ago—no way she'd want him to massage her again, right?*

Liu Ya stood in the air holding the Two-tailed White Fox, right in front of that giant dragon head the size of a house, her pure beautiful eyes examining in astonishment.

The dragon whiskers longer than lamp cords, eyes bigger than lanterns, and those ferocious dragon horns were longer than her long legs.

Especially that gaping dragon mouth—freaking huge.

"Tsk tsk, that mouth could probably swallow Bingxi whole at once," Liu Ya said with amazement.

The Two-tailed White Fox grumbled unhappily, "That mouth could swallow me in one bite, and even Sister Liu Ya at once too."

Xiao Ye's face darkened, "Is this really the time to joke? Our villa just exploded—where are we even going to live?"

Liu Ya shrugged and pointed in the distance, "We'll just stay at Villa No. 10."

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon snorted out two streams of flame from its nostrils, speechless, "That primitive stone-age dump, Villa No. 10? You call that livable?"

Liu Ya pouted a little, "Hey, at least we've got a roof over our heads! Anyway, the second and third floors are normally decorated. No one's making you sleep on the ground floor!"

She rolled her eyes and said,

"Xiao Ye, Siyao, how are you guys feeling now? Did the upgrade fail? Your realm didn't go up, it dropped all the way to the bottom—Mortal Realm, Tier One!"

In the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's mind, Nangong Siyao finally reacted, letting out an "Ah! How did my realm drop to Tier One? This sucks."

"I worked so hard to level up to Great Grandmaster, and now it's like I just awakened the template, back to square one!"

"Xiao Ye, we have to start leveling all over again. Our fate seriously sucks!"

Nangong Siyao's voice was full of pitiful wailing.

Xiao Ye said in exasperation, "Mrs. Nangong, chill out please. Template rank-ups are all about new templates awakening. No need to panic."

He made the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon shrink, bringing it down to only two meters long.

Then Liu Ya led the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and Two-tailed White Fox over to her home of more than a hundred years—Villa No. 10.

Underground Cultivation Room.

Liu Ya rolled her eyes for the umpteenth time, her tone reproachful, "Xiao Ye, it looks like you guys failed the upgrade. From now on, stop chasing after speed in your cultivation all the time."

"Still, it's fine doing it over. With your talent before, rising back to Great Grandmaster shouldn't take even two months."

Xiao Ye controlled the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and said with resignation, "How about we make a bet? If our upgrade succeeds, the TA Sister has to promise me one thing unconditionally—otherwise, I'll promise you the same."

Liu Ya grinned, lifted a hand and patted her chest, "You're on!"

"If you win, whatever you say goes! You want me on top, there's no way I'll be under."

Xiao Ye nodded, then pulled out from his System Space the 300+ Energy Liquids he'd stashed away before the villa exploded.

Crunch.

All 300+ Energy Liquids were tossed right into the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's huge mouth, bottles and all crushed and gulped down with the liquid.

Liu Ya's beautiful eyes went wide, her voice full of urgency, "Are you insane? Swallowing that many Energy Liquids at once, you'll explode and die!"

The Two-tailed White Fox beside her tensed up, squeaking, "Quick, Xiao Ye, spit them out right now!"

To awaken an SSS-level Template required 10 Rule Fragment Crystals. Mythical-level Templates, on top of those ten, also needed to absorb and fuse a total of 150 Rule Fragment Crystals!

So Xiao Ye was absolutely not nervous at all.

The Mythical Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Venerable Template's talent was at least a thousand times better than that of the SSS-level Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Template.

"Boom!"

An immense burst of energy detonated inside the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon,

and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon felt as if it had finally tasted rain after a years-long drought—completely and utterly refreshed…
