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

Mu Qingxue's expression stiffened. That strike she made had actually been a feint; what she really wanted was to wrap her legs around Xiao Ye's neck, then use her body's flexibility to throw him down and pin him to the ground, controlling him.

But unexpectedly, that fake move of hers was actually caught by Xiao Ye!

Mu Qingxue suddenly used force, wanting to pull her foot back, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't break free from Xiao Ye's grip, which was as hard as steel.

"Let go!" Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes glared at him.

Xiao Ye curled his lips and shook his head, "You brought this scenery right to me, I'd be a fool not to look."

With that, he stared at her a few times, bold as day.

At this angle, he could see everything.

Mu Qingxue's pretty face flushed bright red, and with Xiao Ye staring at her, she felt completely contaminated.

"You just said I can't leave here alive?" Xiao Ye asked while openly enjoying the view.

Mu Qingxue shot him a furious glare with her beautiful eyes and instead of answering, she snapped, "If you keep looking, you're dead to me!"

*She really was pissed off. No matter in her previous life or this one, she had never suffered such humiliation before.*

Seeing he had genuinely pissed her off, Xiao Ye figured he shouldn't push her too far, so he let go of her ankle, "I'm out, bye!"

Then he crushed the teleportation item in his hand.

But, to his surprise, the teleportation item didn't work, and Xiao Ye wasn't sent away.

Mu Qingxue squatted down to rub her ankle—he'd grabbed it so hard that it was aching. She glared at him with her beautiful eyes, wondering if he even knew the meaning of pitying a lady.

"The Heart of the Secret Realm has special rules. Without power at the Venerable Realm level, there's no way to leave."

"Including the Secret Realm Core you've got tucked away, it can't leave the Heart of the Secret Realm either."

"If the Secret Realm Core stays out of the Heart of the Secret Realm for too long, the entire secret realm will collapse, the space will cave in and return to nothingness, and eventually disappear completely," she explained.

The Secret Realm Core, she was referring to that Chaos Group.

"This..." Seeing how she didn't seem to be bluffing, Xiao Ye's brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought.

Take the Chaos Group out, and the secret realm would collapse.

Let the Chaos Group loose, and wouldn't Mu Qingxue just get a free reward?

*Wait a minute!*

Xiao Ye's eyes landed on the circular instrument floating not far away in midair, his eyes lighting up with an idea.

Mu Qingxue was constantly watching him, and as her gaze followed his, her expression grew guarded.

In a flash, Mu Qingxue struck first, snatching the circular instrument and clutching it at her waist, declaring triumphantly, "Let the Secret Realm Core out, or I'll smash this Contract Array Device."

"Then neither of us can get the Secret Realm Core to acknowledge us!"

She figured she was finally on top this time—Xiao Ye would have to obediently release the Secret Realm Core.

But she was wrong. A bright, unbothered smile appeared on Xiao Ye's face as he slowly walked towards her, not the least bit anxious, saying,

"Go right ahead and smash it!"

"Whether or not I get the Secret Realm Core doesn't matter. What matters is, your City Lord's Mansion doesn't get the Saint Spirit Secret Realm!"

The Saint Spirit Secret Realm belonged to Yunxi.

Step by step, as he got closer, Mu Qingxue got anxious and shouted, "Stop right there!"

"One step closer and I really will destroy it!"

Xiao Ye shrugged, still unconcerned, and kept walking forward. A few more steps and he would be right in front of her.

Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes flashed with fierce determination. She casually tossed the circular instrument behind her, then suddenly exploded with power, using an ancient secret technique:

[Secret of the Character Xin: Upon use, instantly multiply one's combat power by ten]

Bang! In an instant, a fierce aura erupted from her delicate body, her beautiful eyes glinting with ruthless intent.

"You can't use Talent Skills inside the Secret Realm space. This time, I'll beat you for sure!"

With a flash, she launched an all-out assault on Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye curled his lip. Even with her combat power increased tenfold, her attacks and strength still seemed slow and soft to him.

Slap! As her fist came flying in, Xiao Ye perfectly sidestepped and even smacked her perky skin drum.

Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes widened in shock.

Unwilling to admit defeat, she swung a kick at Xiao Ye's side. If it landed, he would be hurting for days.

"Did you skip lunch or what? So slow, so soft!" Xiao Ye dodged again with ease and kicked her right on her shapely butt, this time putting real force into it.

Mu Qingxue stumbled forward and toppled onto thin air, unable to keep her footing.

She rubbed her sore spot, "That hurt!"

Xiao Ye picked up the circular instrument, walked over, squatted down in front of Mu Qingxue, and said, "Still think you know what's what? Want to try a few more rounds?"

Mu Qingxue's pretty face was a picture of embarrassment.

She glared at him with her beautiful eyes, giving him the kind of look you'd give a complete creep.

"You polluted me today. We're not done, you and I!"

"Take the stupid Contract Array Device! Hmph!"

She turned her flaming-red face away from him.

As proud as she was, she had to admit defeat this time.

Xiao Ye was dumbfounded, "Don't be ridiculous. When did I ever pollute you?"

Mu Qingxue snorted coldly and kept silent.

Xiao Ye was speechless, but since she admitted defeat, he decided not to push his luck.

So he took out a mature woman's nightgown from the system space and tossed it to her. Then he walked off to one side to study this so-called Contract Array Device.

Mu Qingxue's pretty face lit up in delight, and she hurried to put the nightgown on.

But the size was far too big, and she couldn't fill it out at all.

*Xiao Ye's look of disgust flashed through her mind, and for the first time, Mu Qingxue started doubting her formerly unshakable confidence in her figure.*

In the distance, Xiao Ye felt a major headache coming on. There were over a hundred buttons on the circular instrument, and he recognized almost none of the symbols, let alone how to use it. Figuring it out himself might take forever.

"This guy!" Once Mu Qingxue was dressed, she seemed fully revived, regaining that same cold proud vibe. Her stunning face now glowed with arrogant beauty.

Pride and fury mixed on her face, but above all, it was shock.

This Xiao Ye, not only could he change the predetermined future revealed by the Divination Skill, but he also wasn't fazed by the Secret of the Character Xin's massive power boost—his physical strength totally crushed hers.

Coming closer, when she saw Xiao Ye's look of bitter frustration, Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes lit up, and her rosy lips curled up before she realized it.

Watching Xiao Ye hit a wall made her so happy!

"What are you staring at? Give me an instruction manual, or I'll take the nightgown back," Xiao Ye threatened.

Mu Qingxue's pretty face froze. This сhаptеr wаs uplоаdеd by thе tеаm аt М|VLЕМРYR.

This guy really might strip her naked.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Mu Qingxue explained how to use the circular instrument to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye's comprehension was amazing—he understood how to work it after one explanation.

Buzz, buzz, buzz! He pressed the biggest button and said with a grin, "So it's that simple. Just start it, and it'll automatically launch the contract array. Once the contract array finishes building, you just drip a drop of blood to claim it!"

All those buttons were just a fake-out. The circular instrument was a tech item made with special materials, with an automatic program inside!

Flash—for a moment, the Chaos Group was released by Xiao Ye, floating back into the space.

Fine strands of special energy emerged from the Chaos Group, interconnecting with each other.

All it took was half an hour and the contract array would be complete.

Xiao Ye turned his head and gave Mu Qingxue a skeptical look, "Why are you suddenly so helpful?"

Mu Qingxue blushed under his gaze and snapped back,

"You can't get out until the Secret Realm Core acknowledges an owner. What, are we supposed to stay here forever?"
