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

Lakeview Villa No. 001, District 1.

Yunxi and Xiao Ye appeared in the first floor living room.

Being stared at coldly, Xiao Ye felt a huge panic inside, *Damn, I just talked shit about her behind her back, never thought I'd get caught red-handed.*

"Director, what a coincidence, we were just about to praise you." Xiao Ye scratched his head.

Yunxi, still pissed off, glared coldly, "Praise me? You mean calling me an old woman?"

"Uh, Director, let me try to make excuses..." Xiao Ye crouched on the sofa, feeling like he was walking on thin ice.

Yunxi cut in, "No need to make excuses."

She took out a mirror and faced herself. Instantly, the reflection showed a stunningly beautiful face, delicate features, soft, flawless skin, bright eyes and white teeth, a beauty worth a kingdom.

Although her expression was a bit cold, there was not a single wrinkle to be found.

She raised her hand and pinched her rosy, collagen-filled, pale face. The skin looked so soft it might drip water, and now looked even more flushed.

"Old woman?" she muttered, then her gaze snapped back to Xiao Ye, her voice cold,

"Do you have some major misunderstanding about me?"

Xiao Ye stayed silent for a few seconds, then forced an awkward laugh, "Maybe there really is a bit of misunderstanding!"

Yunxi's beautiful eyes narrowed, "Hmm?"

Xiao Ye figured he could try to reverse the excuse, "I never paid attention to your looks before, Director, I only noticed your age, so I jumped to conclusions and called you an old woman. But now that I've seen your real charm, I'm just totally blown away."

"Two words—badass!"

No woman would ever resist praise about her looks, and Yunxi was no different. She glanced back at the mirror, and as she stared at the incredibly beautiful face, she murmured with a weird expression,

"I look badass?"

Xiao Ye nodded like a bobblehead, "Yeah yeah yeah!"

Yunxi felt that was a weird adjective but couldn't really say why.

Seeing her still keeping a stone face, thinking she was still angry, Xiao Ye decided to go all out and said bravely,

"Director, if you're still pissed about what I said, just punish me!"

"Even if I have to sacrifice my little buddy, it's fine!"

Yunxi rolled her beautiful eyes at him. Her anger mostly gone now, she started speaking seriously,

"From now on, I won't stop you from seeing Yun Bing."

"I also won't stop you from making a contract with Yun Bing, but before that, I have a question for you."

Xiao Ye was overjoyed, "Director, ask me anything, I'll tell you all I know."

Yunxi's willow brows furrowed, "Call me Sister Yunxi!"

Xiao Ye, "Sister Yunxi."

Yunxi looked at him, curiosity filling her beautiful eyes, and asked, "You can solve the Beast Girls' physical defects, and also their template problem?"

Template problem, *since she and Yun Bing reached the Venerable Realm over a thousand years ago, they'd tried all kinds of methods. Not only did nothing work, but the template problem actually grew worse.*

Xiao Ye was shocked, *How the hell did Director Yunxi know about such a classified issue?*

*Did Liu Ya tell her?*

Seeing he couldn't hide it, Xiao Ye just admitted, "That's right! The physical defects and the template problems—I have ways to solve them permanently!"

Yunxi's pupils shrank, *Liu Ya wasn't lying! Xiao Ye really could fix the template issue.*

Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!

*The Beast Girls' template awakening is a law of this universe that no one can break.*

*If the template acts up, it's tied to some supreme law of the universe. Even if someone from the Saint Realm above Venerable showed up, they couldn't fix or resolve it.*

*But Xiao Ye, just a Great Grandmaster, could actually solve the template problem.*

Seeing how shocked she was, Xiao Ye thought he'd talked too big and quickly explained, "Physical defects happen because of unstable templates causing negative effects. To temporarily fix the defects, you just need a massage."

"But if you want to permanently solve the defects, you have to completely fix the template problem."

"But fixing the template problem, I'd have to pay a ridiculously huge price, and it isn't guaranteed to succeed in one shot. The chance of failure is still really high."

Yunxi raised her hand, "So, does making a contract with you raise my chances of success?"

Contracting raises the chance?

Xiao Ye frowned, *What kind of logic is that—did Liu Ya tell her that?*

Since Liu Ya said it, he saw no reason to correct her. The tougher he made the conditions sound, the less trouble he'd have in the future, so he just replied, "Nope!"

Yunxi looked surprised.

Xiao Ye, "Making a contract with me is just the starting point. If you don't, the chance of success is zero."

"Only after the contract is made would I have any chance to fix the template problem."

Yunxi realized, *So, even after forming the contract and paying a huge price, the chance of success is still really small!*

*If I don't make the contract, he can't even start!*

*Could Xiao Ye be the reincarnation of a certain Ancient Emperor who mastered some supreme law? No wonder that after the mutated Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, he gained a life level comparable to the Emperor Realm.*

*Maybe deep inside, he's inheriting the Innate Skills of an Ancient Emperor from his previous life.*

*That would explain how he could contract with multiple Beast Girls and fix template problems.*

Suddenly Yunxi nervously asked, "So, can you solve the template problem for both me and Yun Bing?"

Xiao Ye nodded, "Yes!"

Yunxi's expression lit up with joy.

Xiao Ye stated the condition, "But you'd have to contract with me. It won't work until you do."

"After the template is fixed, can you then break the contract?" Yunxi looked at him with puppy-dog eyes.

Xiao Ye twitched his lips, *You wanna freeload?*

He shook his head and replied, "Nope, making the contract is just the start. Only in combination with a Supreme Treasure can your template stabilize. If the contract is broken, the template problem comes back, maybe even worse."

Yunxi went silent, *I must form a contract with him—and I can't break it.*

*So basically, we really have to be bound together.* Chapter provided via M|V|L@EMPYR.

*Yunxi struggled inside. Personally, she wasn't against making a contract with Xiao Ye, but with both her and Yun Bing contracting him, she just couldn't do it.*

*What is this, sharing a husband? She just couldn't (at least for now).*

*She couldn't compete with Yun Bing over a guy, either.*

*A few days ago, when Yun Bing went to another dimension, she gave her a heads-up, saying there was now a way to solve the template problem, but they needed to gather a few Rule Fragment Crystals.*

*Yun Bing had probably already talked to Xiao Ye. After this trip, they'd make the contract and solve the template issue.*

*Seeing Yunxi's struggle, Xiao Ye secretly grinned, thinking, You wanna find a loophole? Wanna freeload? No way! Yun Bing can't do it either!*

Yunxi stayed quiet for ages. Xiao Ye got up, ready to leave, and said with a smile, "Sister Yunxi, any more questions? If not, I'm heading out. Bye."

As Xiao Ye reached the door, Yunxi's voice sounded,

"Wait!"

Xiao Ye froze, *Could it be that Director Yunxi is willing to contract with me?*

Yunxi's figure flickered, and she appeared in front of him, pleading, "I just used the power of the Venerable Realm just now, so my physical defects came back. So can you give me a massage?"
