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

Xiao Ye would never admit that the cold sweat was because he felt guilty, so he patted his stomach and laughed,

"That little session just now nearly wore me out, this potion came at the perfect time, just enough to make up for what I lost."

Yunxi quietly gazed at him with her beautiful eyes. Maybe it was because her physical issues had been temporarily resolved, but while she still gave off that icy aura, the bone-chilling coldness she usually exuded had lessened a lot.

And on her flawless little face, a faint blush started to rise.

Remembering what had just happened, she got bashful.

*This version of the Iceberg Dean right now was stunning to Xiao Ye—ten-thousand-year ice finally melting, revealing a touch of warmth. Her checking up on his stamina and handing him the supply potion was a real milestone of change for her.*

Yunxi wriggled the skin drum a little under Xiao Ye's constant gaze, feeling a bit self-conscious. With him staring so intently, it was as if he was appreciating her the same way as before—absolutely nothing hidden from his eyes.

Xiao Ye cleared his throat, his old face turning red as he said, "Dean, um, so, what about my payment?"

*Like hell this guy would be happy without taking advantage—he stared, he even touched for free, got a huge perk, and he's still asking for payment?*

Yunxi's face turned cold, "Call me Sister Yunxi!"

Xiao Ye said, "Sister Yunxi."

Yunxi's smile returned, and with a wave of her hand, three items suddenly appeared on the table.

She stretched out her slender fingers and introduced them one by one,

"This red item is a one-time attack device, when you use it, it releases a spatial blade that automatically locks onto an enemy, with the power of a full-strength attack from a low-tier Supreme."

"This blue item is a one-time defense device—use it and it'll create a spatial barrier shield, which can block a full-power hit from a low-tier Supreme. If no attack hits you after activation, it'll last for a full hour."

"The last one is a Demon Beast Crystal Core, a Supreme-rank, lower-grade core from a low-tier Supreme Demon Beast."

Xiao Ye excitedly rubbed his hands together, eyes glowing as he said, "Are all these for me?"

Yunxi shot him a look, "You wish. You can only pick one—making these things takes me a lot of energy too."

"Aw, come on..." Xiao Ye looked at all three goodies—he wanted every single one!

Yunxi giggled, saying, "Just pick one first. Maybe you'll get a shot at the others later. Ten days from now, you'll be giving me another massage anyway."

"Alright!" Xiao Ye grabbed the blue item—the life-saving defense prop. "I'll take this one."

Yunxi waved her hand to put the other two away, along with the black gloves Xiao Ye had taken off earlier on the table.

Those black gloves had touched her with zero distance, picking up all kinds of her aura. Best to stow them away.

Business concluded, but Xiao Ye made no move to leave.

Instead, he asked another question.

"Sister Yunxi, do you know anywhere that has a whole bunch of Life Attribute or Destruction Attribute Demon Beasts?"

Cheng Bingxi's SSS-grade Nine-tailed Celestial Fox template had an upgrade requirement of,

50 Creation Rule Fragment Crystals, 50 Life Rule Fragment Crystals, and 50 Destruction Rule Fragment Crystals.

Life and Destruction types were extremely rare—practically nonexistent in the Training Base. Out of options, Xiao Ye had to ask Dean Yunxi, a top-level Supreme. Read ahead and get updates at M*V*L*E*M*P*Y*R.

"Life attribute, Destruction attribute?" Yunxi raised her elegant brows.

Xiao Ye nodded, complaining, "I don't know if someone wiped them all out or what. The library says the Training Base used to have them, but now there's nothing—not even a single hair."

Yunxi curled her lips, saying, "The Saint Spirit Secret Realm is crawling with those two types of Demon Beasts. Elsewhere, they're basically extinct."

*Why are they extinct?*

*Those two types of Demon Beasts had actually been personally captured by her all over the country, out of boredom. She sent every single one she caught into the Saint Spirit Secret Realm until they were wiped out everywhere else.*

And Yunxi was the owner of the Saint Spirit Secret Realm.

Owning a secret realm that could endlessly generate valuable resources made her insanely rich—a top-tier wealthy lady.

Xiao Ye lit up, "Saint Spirit Secret Realm? Is that one controlled by the government? It opens every month, right? All you need is a ticket to get in."

Yunxi shook her head, "The Saint Spirit Secret Realm is privately owned and only opens once a year. Entry is limited to those at the Grandmaster Realm, and admission is by Supreme recommendation. The next opening is in three months."

Xiao Ye's face fell—three more months? That was way too long.

Yunxi narrowed her pretty eyes, looking curious, "You need those Demon Beast materials that badly?"

Xiao Ye looked deflated, "Yeah."

Yunxi whipped out her communicator, typed a few words, and sent the message off, then laughed, "Good news—the Saint Spirit Secret Realm's opening has been moved up. You'll get in this afternoon. Go get ready—I'll take you to the entrance at two."

Xiao Ye beamed, stood up, and prepared to leave, "Thanks, Sister Yunxi!"

Elsewhere,

The Hong family, Titan Academy, Yun family, City Lord's Mansion, and Cheng family Supremes all received news that the Saint Spirit Secret Realm was opening early.

All of these were Supreme clans. Every year during the secret realm's opening, they were eligible to send people in to snatch resources.

Every Supreme clan got two admission slots.

The Cheng family, which was Vajra Venerable Cheng Gang's family, got word, and Cheng Gang immediately called Kunpeng Academy's Student Council President Cheng Yi, telling him to be ready to enter the Saint Spirit Secret Realm at 2 p.m.

At Titan Academy, Yang Junming, son of the Titan Supreme, had just broken through to Grandmaster Realm today from Grandmaster Ten-Star.

The Titan Supreme decided to send him into the Secret Realm for more training.

The Yun family, also a Supreme clan, dispatched its Young Family Head.

The City Lord's Mansion sent the City Lord's daughter—an absolutely stunning woman who'd cultivated as a human to Grandmaster Realm and was now at Grandmaster Peak.

The Hong family—Patriarch Hong, the top Supreme, got Hong Tao to send a Grandmaster into the Saint Spirit Secret Realm.

Walking out of his father's villa, Hong Tao couldn't wrap his head around all this.

The Saint Spirit Secret Realm was a really special place, owned by the top Supreme, the Kunpeng Queen Yunxi. Inside, there were tons of rare and precious resources, and it only opened once a year. Admission was by Supreme recommendation only, and each Supreme only got two slots per year.

So basically, each Supreme could only send one pair of Grandmaster-level Contractors in at a time.

As far as he knew, the next opening was supposed to be in three months—but now it had been moved up.

"Fatty, fatty, great news!"

Hong Tao was pumped as he walked back into his villa, shouting inside.

Then a three-hundred-pound woman rolled into view—his Contractor wife.

Fatty scowled, "Who are you calling fatty? That sounds awful—call me 'wife'!"

"Wife!" Hong Tao said happily, "The Saint Spirit Secret Realm is open. We can get our hands on more life and destruction materials to help with your weight."

Fatty's ridiculous weight gain was due to a template-related physical defect. The higher her realm grew, the fatter she became.

But with special potions made from life and destruction materials, her condition could be improved—if just a little.

And even that tiny bit was enough to make Hong Tao ecstatic.

*If only people knew, huh? The pain of being crushed by "Mount Tai" every single night...*
