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

The Alligator Turtle Demon Beast Group roared in alarm, all of them startled.

"Damn, how could this dragon unleash the might of our Emperor?"

"No, it's even more terrifying than our Emperor."

"Is it possible, that it actually is our Emperor?"

The King Leader gazed gravely at the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon in the sky and said in a deep voice, "May I ask, sir, what is your relationship with our Emperor?"

The Emperor of a clan, in terms of bloodline level, ranked above the King Beast, able to suppress and seal the power of a King Beast's bloodline.

On the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, the King Leader sensed the bloodline resonance just like that of the Alligator Turtle Emperor. It speculated that this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon might be the evolved form of the Emperor, or perhaps an offspring born from the Emperor and a Dragon-type Demon Beast.

Whichever the case, this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was closely related to the Emperor.

Behind the boulder, Mu Qingxue and Jie Gangtai both rubbed their eyes, looking on in disbelief.

Such a massive Great Venerable Realm Alligator Turtle Demon Beast Group had actually been subdued by a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

Jie Gangtai felt like his whole sense of reality had been upended.

"Th-this can't be, how could he, just a low-level Grandmaster, poss—!"

Mu Qingxue cut him off, "No, he's not a low-level Grandmaster, he's in the Venerable Realm!"

Mu Qingxue could feel the layers of oppression in the air and the signature domain from the sky above. There was no doubt at all, it was the Venerable Realm.

At her words, Jie Gangtai found it even harder to believe. "A freshman, at Venerable Realm?"

"That Talent, that cultivation speed, even you can't compare, Xue'Er."

Mu Qingxue thought it over, and it was true!

Her face darkened. At only twenty, she had already reached the peak of the Grandmaster Realm, hailed as the Number One Prodigy of Devil City.

But now these freshmen, Xiao Ye and his companion, who were definitely no older than nineteen, had reached the astonishing Venerable Realm!

*Her self-appointed title as Devil City's Number One Prodigy was starting to lose its luster.*

*But a nineteen-year-old at Venerable Realm? Mu Qingxue frowned deeply.*

*As a reincarnation of an Ancient Saint Realm expert, even though she had only inherited a small part of her past life's memories, comparing herself now to Xiao Ye and his companion, even in her previous life, she couldn't beat them.*

"Not good!"

Mu Qingxue hurriedly used her Talent Skill, Divination.

As time factors flowed around her, a blurry image appeared in her mind.

"!" Mu Qingxue was shocked.

Before entering the Secret Realm, her prophecy had said that she would enter the Heart of the Secret Realm alone and smoothly acquire the realm authority through the City Lord's Mansion's methods.

But this time, in her vision, it was Xiao Ye and her, together entering the Heart of the Secret Realm, fighting each other to become recognized by the realm authority.

*What humiliated her most was, after entering the Heart of the Secret Realm, all of their clothes would be stripped away by the Spatial Barrier. In other words, she and Xiao Ye would end up stark naked, struggling for the authority in the exclusive space of the Heart of the Secret Realm.*

"The prophecy, has changed!"

Mu Qingxue's expression became grim.

Her template was the [SSS-ranked Time Candle Dragon Template], a rare variant with Time Attribute, possessing several time-related Talent Skills.

The Divination Skill had never failed before, but this time, things had changed.

*This sort of thing had never happened, not in her past life nor the present one.*

*Even interference from the Emperor Realm couldn't change a fixed future. The prophecy would never be mistaken, so the issue had to lie with this Xiao Ye.*

Mu Qingxue glanced down at her snow-pale skin, and her perfectly curvy figure.

She felt her cheeks flush with heat.

*Since the prophecy revealed a predetermined future, even if she turned away from the Secret Realm now, someday, somewhere, that scene foretold would still take place.*

So Mu Qingxue steeled her resolve to face it head-on and not run away. At worst, when she entered the Heart of the Secret Realm, she could just turn her back to Xiao Ye. The l.at@e&st* cha$pters% are a#lw.a#y+s% a*vai+la$b-l!e& f+i!r+st on M$V5@L$EM#PYR@.$

Jie Gangtai shouted, "Xue'Er, look! The Alligator Turtle Demon Beast Group seems to be bowing to the Golden Dragon. Holy shit, this can't be real, right?"

Mu Qingxue snapped out of her daze and looked over with her beautiful eyes.

Sure enough.

After hearing the King Leader's words, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon said, "The Emperor? I am your Emperor!"

The King Leader was shocked, a thousand doubts rising in its heart. But the feeling of the bloodline couldn't lie, so it declared loudly,

"My kin, this is our Emperor! The Emperor has returned!"

The Alligator Turtle Demon Beast Group became wildly excited.

"Emperor, you've finally come back!"

"Is this form of the Emperor the result of bloodline evolution?"

"The Emperor never abandoned us, thank the heavens."

"Roar, roar!!"

Under the lead of the Great Venerable Alligator Turtle King Leader, this group of demon beasts all showed their submission to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon in the sky.

"Emperor, a hundred years ago, a human Supreme captured us and imprisoned our kind in this sea with restrictions. Please, Emperor, free us from this bondage and avenge us!"

The King Leader pleaded.

High above, in the mind of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Xiao Ye and Nangong Siyao stood dumbfounded.

Nangong Siyao grinned foolishly, "Looks like they got the wrong beast."

Xiao Ye nodded, then shook his head. "They're recognizing the bloodline, not the appearance of a Golden Dragon."

Nangong Siyao hesitated, "So now we're their Emperor. Should we still kill Alligator Turtles to harvest upgrade resources for our template?"

Xiao Ye said, "Don't overthink it, I've got a plan! But there's a chance it'll go wrong, so get ready for an all-out fight with them."

Nangong Siyao answered, "I'm ready, let's go wild. We've been battling like crazy every night and I haven't felt tired yet."

Xiao Ye: "…"

Right now, it wouldn't be a good idea for them to revert to human form, so as not to arouse the Alligator Turtle Leader's suspicion.

*If the two of them wanted to kill fifty demon beasts from the Venerable Realm group—it didn't matter if their bloodlines got suppressed, their physical prowess was still insane, and with so many of them, even a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon would not have the upper hand in a fight.*

"Currently, I am in a state of rebuilding after breaking through, and I require fifty Life Attribute Demon Beast bodies…"

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon politely refused the King Leader's request, instead ordering the Alligator Turtle Demon Beast Group to hunt down the Lighthouse Jellyfish Demon Beast Group.

The Alligator Turtle Leader felt there was something off about the Golden Dragon's words.

But the Demon Beast Group outside the stone cluster instantly cheered,

"We faithfully obey the Emperor's order, do not worry, we will execute it perfectly!"

"Hahaha! Fifty heads? Hell, we could wipe out all those little jellyfish if you want!"

"My heart's been starving for this, Leader, let's head out already!"

The Peak Great Venerable Alligator Turtle Leader had no choice but to go along and shouted, "Everyone, follow me, to battle the Lighthouse Jellyfish Demon Beast Group! The goal—annihilation! In honor of the Emperor's return!"

"Annihilation! Annihilation!"

"Annihilation! Annihilation!"

The Alligator Turtle Demon Beasts followed, roaring with excitement.

After that, with the Peak Great Venerable Alligator Turtle Leader leading the way, the group marched out in full force.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon lingered in the air over the stone cluster, watching them depart into the distance.

Mu Qingxue's gaze stayed firmly fixed on the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, as if trying to see straight through it. She didn't even notice that the Demon Beast Group was gone.

Jie Gangtai's eyes nearly bulged from his head as he gasped, "Is this freak of nature already cultivating in the womb, to be this young and at Venerable Realm? Even the Alligator Turtle Demon Beast Group follows his word."

"Xue'Er, let's hurry to the stone cluster and check for the location of the Heart of the Secret Realm!"

Mu Qingxue withdrew her deeply puzzled gaze, and she and Jie Gangtai crossed the giant rock, heading for the center of the stone cluster.

Then, from her storage space, she took out the tech device for detecting the Heart of the Secret Realm.
