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

Kunpeng Academy, Cross Lake View Villa District, Villa No. 001.

This was the residence of Cloud Celestial Monarch, the top of the Kunpeng Pride Ranking.

Cloud Celestial Monarch and his Contractor, Ge Yao, sat there drinking gloomily in silence, both clearly weighed down by heavy thoughts.

After a long, heavy silence, they finally broke the ice,

"Before we graduate this year, it's pretty much impossible for us to break through to the Grandmaster Realm."

"Without reaching the Grandmaster Realm, we've got no shot at competing for the Secret Realm management job, man, that's just our luck."

The job of Secret Realm manager was exactly what it sounded like, being in charge of the entrance and resources of a Dimensional Space Secret Realm. This gig was seriously hot—not only did you get a fat paycheck, but you could skim off some perks from the Secret Realm and use your position to network with all kinds of people.

Dimensional Space Secret Realms were alternate spaces stacked with valuable resources.

"What if we just brute-force our way to the Grandmaster Realm?" Ge Yao said.

Cloud Celestial Monarch, top of the Kunpeng Pride Ranking, shook his head, "No way, if you brute-force your way to Grandmaster, you technically qualify for the job, but your odds of winning are slim. Plus, if you force the breakthrough and it's all show but no substance, you'll totally screw up your foundation."

"Breaking through to Grandmaster all comes down to your Power of Realm getting a qualitative boost. You literally need to level up the quality before you can make the leap."

They were both SS-ranked Golden Victory Lion templates, currently at Ten-Star Grandmaster. Unless they had some kind of Exotic Treasure to assist, breaking from Grandmaster peak to Great Grandmaster within a year was basically impossible.

*That was the part that really drove them nuts.*

Suddenly, "Beep, beep, beep!" rang the doorbell outside.

Cloud Celestial Monarch, top of the Kunpeng Pride Ranking, was stunned, *who would drop by this late?*

He was just about to get the door when, with a hum, the villa's main door swung open on its own, letting in a tall, muscular, masked figure from outside. The newcomer was cloaked from head to toe in a black night combat suit, only a pair of exhausted eyes showing through.

Half-drunk, Cloud Celestial Monarch and his Contractor, Ge Yao, snapped to attention, barking, "This is Kunpeng Academy, we've got Supreme-levels watching. If you dare mess around, you're totally screwed."

This masked dude had just walked in uninvited, face completely hidden like some kind of creep. Bad news, for sure.

The guy in black stayed silent, raised his palm, and revealed an oval-shaped crystal stone.

The oval crystal stone radiated dense Profound Energy.

Cloud Celestial Monarch and Ge Yao, ready to defend themselves, both shouted, "Conception Crystal Stone!"

The Conception Crystal Stone was mined from underground veins—super rare. Each one was a heavenly treasure, worth a top-tier Crystal Core for a Respectable, yet pretty much impossible to actually buy.

The Conception Crystal Stone's effect: it could super efficiently boost Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters in condensing Power of Realm. For people in those Realms, it was the ultimate treasure.

The man in black sat down on the sofa, helped himself to a drink, and said,

"One Conception Crystal Stone, and I want you to do something for me."

Cloud Celestial Monarch and Ge Yao exchanged looks, both obviously burning with desire.

Ge Yao couldn't resist asking, "What do you want?"

The man in black grinned, "It's simple..."

Ten minutes later, both sides had finished hashing things out, and the masked man left.

On the table, he'd left behind a Conception Crystal Stone—and a USB drive with a massive memory.

Ge Yao stared at the Conception Crystal Stone on the table, amazed, "He's just leaving it here, isn't he worried we'll bail?"

"Who cares."

Cloud Celestial Monarch picked up the Conception Crystal Stone, weighing it in his palm, "This Conception Crystal Stone is enough for us to push our Power of Realm up a whole notch in six months, break through to Great Grandmaster."

"But before that, let's make sure we handle business like bosses."

"Expose Xiao Ye as a total scumbag boyfriend? Xiao Ye? Why does that name sound so familiar?"

He grabbed the USB drive and plugged it into his tablet.

Xiao Ye's profile popped up on the screen.

Grandmaster Seventh Star Realm, second place on the Kunpeng Pride Ranking, contracted three Beast Girls—their Contractors being Nangong Siyao, Cheng Bingxi, and Liu Ya. Full headshots attached.

A notorious womanizer, emotionally unstable, into whorehouses, always hanging out at Maid Tavern.

Cloud Celestial Monarch was stunned, three Beast Girls?

Wait! Liu Ya?

Cloud Celestial Monarch's eyes went wide in shock, *the most gorgeous teaching assistant, Liu Ya?*

He clicked on the headshots, and sure enough, there she was—Goddess Teaching Assistant Liu Ya.

The most beautiful TA, Liu Ya, was the goddess for 99% of Kunpeng Academy's guys. Not only was she powerful, with the honor of being number one under the Supreme, she was also the top teacher at Modu Academy.

Cloud Celestial Monarch was one of Liu Ya's most rabid fanboys.

He opened the USB files and found intimate pics of Xiao Ye and Liu Ya kissing, apparently inside some tavern.

"Damn! Was Xiao Ye a Blue Star savior in his last life? All three of his Beast Girls are utter stunners, and one of them's my goddess!"

Cloud Celestial Monarch was straight-up jealous. This copy comes from content on M|V|L0EMPYR.

Watching Liu Ya sitting on Xiao Ye's lap, feeding him wine, Cloud Celestial Monarch was so enraged he wanted to murder Xiao Ye right then and there.

"Scumbag, this Xiao Ye is an absolute scumbag!" Cloud Celestial Monarch resolved that he would make the entire Kunpeng Academy—every student, professor, even the dean—see just how much of a player Xiao Ye was.

Ge Yao glanced at Xiao Ye's headshot, her eyes widening uncontrollably as she thought,

*This guy's crazy hot!*

Way more handsome than Cloud Celestial Monarch, with chiseled cheeks like a sculpture—absolutely flawless. Plus, he had that special something that could suck you in at first glance.

Cloud Celestial Monarch was about to go over the next steps with Ge Yao when he noticed her staring dreamily at Xiao Ye's photo.

*His Contractor wife, checking out another dude right in front of him? Seriously?*

Bam! Cloud Celestial Monarch slammed his fist down on the table, scowling hard, "Is he good-looking or what?"

Ge Yao reflexively replied, "Handsome!"

She even gulped a little, clearly fantasizing about something.

*Cloud Celestial Monarch felt like his head was turning into a whole traffic light.*

"Dammit!" he cursed, totally pissed.

Not only had Xiao Ye snatched his goddess TA, but now his own Contractor wife was thirsting over him, too.

"Hands off!" Cloud Celestial Monarch snapped, switching to the next picture.

Ge Yao rolled her eyes, "It's just a look, I'm not gonna lose a limb, am I? You get to creep on your goddess and I can't check out a hottie?"

Cloud Celestial Monarch gritted his teeth so hard he thought his head might explode.

The next picture showed a gorgeous, super-cute girl in a maid outfit wiping sweat off Xiao Ye—someone he totally didn't recognize.

Cloud Celestial Monarch lit up, "Ge Yao, come on, look at this—guy's a total perv. He's got three knockout Beast Girls and still hits up brothels."

"Mhm, he really has the makings of a scumbag," Ge Yao shot back.

Cloud Celestial Monarch snorted, "He's a scumbag through and through. I always looked down on dudes who hook up with random chicks. Never gonna be that kind of guy, right, Ge Yao?"

Contractor Ge Yao shot him a death glare, eyes full of contempt, "Like you're any better. You're drooling over your TA every night before bed, don't think I don't know.

Plus, it's not that you won't be a player—you just don't have what it takes to be one!"

Cloud Celestial Monarch's face turned jet black with anger, "Argh! I can't take this anymore."

"Anyway, the entire Kunpeng Academy is going to know what a scumbag Xiao Ye really is!"

He wasn't planning to sleep tonight—he immediately got to work flooding the academy forums, the official message boards, and anywhere else he could with anonymous posts.

With all the incriminating content from the USB, he spiced up the stories even more and slapped on some insane clickbait headlines!
