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

Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue's faces both changed.

A pair of long legs stepped into the core space of the Secret Realm, and Yunxi appeared behind Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue.

In an instant, a wave of spatial energy radiated from her body.

The entire core space of the Secret Realm was affected, the space becoming solidified. Inside, the Chaos Group, the Contract Array, the circular instrument, Xiao Ye, and Mu Qingxue all froze, unable to move.

The drop of essence blood condensing at Xiao Ye's fingertip also stopped mid-air, motionless.

*Mu Qingxue felt a jolt inside. Freezing space—the power to do that meant she had already mastered a trace of Rule Power of Space, the threshold of entering the Saint Realm. This meant Yunxi, this top-tier Venerable realm being, was about to break through!*

*In another two or three hundred years, Dragon Country would gain another Saint Realm cultivator!*

*And on top of that, a spatial-type Saint Realm, far stronger than most, able to go one against two with ease.*

*Xiao Ye felt incredibly flustered inside. Right now, only his eyeballs could move. Everything else felt like it had been petrified—he couldn't move a single finger.*

*His life and death were in Yunxi's hands!*

*Now he was trying to take all of Yunxi's possessions, which meant the Saint Spirit Secret Realm! Who knew how Yunxi would deal with him?*

Yunxi, after seeing the situation, had a flash of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

The circular instrument was clearly something from the City Lord's Mansion, and yet it wasn't Mu Qingxue doing the blood recognition, it was Xiao Ye!

Mu Qingxue had tried to seize the Secret Realm Core, but Xiao Ye had snatched it from her!

Yunxi quickly came to a conclusion.

She waved her hand, releasing the spatial imprisonment on Xiao Ye.

Whew!

Xiao Ye moved his hands and feet a little, still freaking out inside, but on the surface, he stayed calm, grinning as he said, "Dean, you showed up?"

Yunxi's brows furrowed, her pretty face turning cold.

*Xiao Ye's heart pounded wildly, beating up into his throat. The composure on his face slowly became stiff.*

*He'd stolen her stuff. She really wasn't planning to let him off.*

Yunxi stared directly at Xiao Ye, and said, "Don't call me Dean, call me Sister Yunxi!"

Xiao Ye was stunned for a second, then said, "Sister Yunxi."

Yunxi's breathtaking smile returned to her face. "Mm, I get it, don't be nervous."

"Si Yao already explained the whole situation to me."

*Xiao Ye's rapidly beating heart calmed and returned to normal. He put away the drop of essence blood, smiling as he said, "Sister Yunxi, your timing is perfect. The Contract Array is complete, so for the next step, the blood recognition, it should be you."*

"Let what's yours return to you. The Saint Spirit Secret Realm belonged to you in the first place." After saying this, he took a deep breath.

*His goal for entering the Saint Spirit Secret Realm had been to acquire the resources needed for Cheng Bingxi's [SSS-level Nine-tailed Celestial Fox] template upgrade—fifty Life-type, fifty Destruction-type, and fifty Creation Rule Fragments. Now he had finished collecting everything, way more than enough in fact.*

*Coming to the core of the Saint Spirit Secret Realm had been a complete accident, totally off script. So at this moment, giving up on controlling the Secret Realm, Xiao Ye didn't feel the least bit disappointed.*

Yunxi's smile grew even warmer. She said, "I was right about you, you're not bad."

"But there's no rush, there's still a thief we haven't dealt with."

A thief?

*Even though she couldn't move, she could hear them talking. Bitterness welled up in Mu Qingxue's heart.*

*Clearly it was Xiao Ye doing the blood recognition, but they were so close, calling each other so intimately… It was obvious the Kunpeng Venerable wouldn't hold Xiao Ye accountable.*

*She, Mu Qingxue, had failed to acquire the Secret Realm Core, and now ended up labeled a thief, getting caught red-handed by the real owner.*

Yunxi appeared above Mu Qingxue, looking down on her condescendingly, and said coldly, My Vi#r*tu$al@ L.ibr$ar+y@ E!m#p.i*r^e@ (M V L E M P Y R) [email protected]#eci*a%te*s^ you*r@ r+ea-der-s$h-i*p at the s+o%u^r^c%e.^

"Little girl from the City Lord's Mansion, still wet behind the ears, already turning to crime and stealing things!"

"If word gets out, your City Lord's Mansion's face will be wiped in the dirt!"

*Chastised, Mu Qingxue had no way to defend herself. The whole operation had been her father Mu Cheng's spur-of-the-moment idea.*

*Xiao Ye wanted to blurt out: she's already grown up.*

Yunxi waved her hand and lifted the spatial imprisonment from Mu Qingxue.

Mu Qingxue bowed her head and said, "Sorry for not discussing it with you beforehand!"

*She was the reincarnation of an Ancient Saint Realm, the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion, proud to the bone, but facing this overbearing Quasi-Saint, she wisely chose to humble herself.*

*The circumstances left her no choice. She had to get out of here and back to her home field, the City Lord's Mansion, ASAP.*

"Hmph!" Yunxi snorted, her eyes sizing up Mu Qingxue.

She was wearing a thin nightgown, obviously ill-fitting and not her own. The nightgown was spotless and unwrinkled, suggesting it had just been put on.

And with the storage ring having lost effectiveness in the Heart of the Secret Realm…

Judging from all this, Yunxi shot Xiao Ye a fierce look with her pretty eyes. *Again, he'd had some unusual encounter with another beauty!*

Feeling the suddenly thickened pressure rolling off Yunxi, Mu Qingxue gave a bitter little smile and said,

"Dean Kunpeng, I'll pay compensation for this. I promise you'll be satisfied."

Yunxi frowned, "Compensation, like I need that?"

Xiao Ye spoke up then, "Sister Yunxi, since she's already apologized and agreed to make compensation, how about we just let it slide?"

Mu Qingxue shot Xiao Ye a grateful look.

"Hmph!" Yunxi snorted. "Fine by me."

Mu Qingxue's expression lit up in relief.

Then Yunxi walked up to the Contract Array, looking around as she said,

"This girl's really generous. This sort of top-tier Contract Array is almost extinct in the market. Only a Venerable Realm Array Master could make one."

As she spoke, Yunxi grabbed Xiao Ye's hand, gave his palm a little slice, and a cut opened right in the center, scalding golden blood spurting out like she wasn't paying a dime for it.

After what must have been almost two liters of blood, Xiao Ye was hissing through his teeth in pain, and only then did she gently wave her hand, closing the wound with spatial power.

Xiao Ye pulled his hand back, clutching it to his chest, and said in surprise, "Sister Yunxi, what are you doing?"

*Was she planning to make the Chaos Group recognize him as its master?*

*But that only took a single drop of blood.*

A clump of golden blood hovered in front of Yunxi, emanating the lure of a high-level lifeform.

The life quality of this blood was on par with a Great Emperor's!

"Gulp!" Yunxi actually swallowed, *she wanted a taste!*

Then she stored away all the golden blood except for one drop, letting it fall onto the Contract Array.

The array lit up with a blinding white glow.

A sacred contract appeared in Xiao Ye's mind.

At that moment, Xiao Ye felt a connection with the Chaos Group growing in his soul. As the contract finished, the connection became stronger, *and he realized he could control the Chaos Group!*

*With a breath, the whole Secret Realm mapped itself into his Sea of Spirit. He could observe anything inside the Secret Realm at will.*

*In that second, he saw, beside the cracked red lake, Yang Junming and his Contractor girl fighting a Burst Tyrannosaurus.*

*The next second, he saw the Alligator Turtle Demon Beast Group gathering in droves on Alligator Turtle Island.*

*Finally, he saw himself, Mu Qingxue, and Yunxi together in the Heart of the Secret Realm.*

*The Lord of the Secret Realm's authority was far more than that, but Xiao Ye didn't rush to study it. He shut off his spiritual perception and asked, "Sister Yunxi, what's the meaning of this—are you giving me the Saint Spirit Secret Realm?"*

*Yunxi would never admit she had been coveting the golden blood.*

"Whether or not the Saint Spirit Secret Realm recognizes me as its master, it's still my property. Even if it says you are master, nothing really changes for me."

"I just have three conditions."

*Xiao Ye was overjoyed. Three conditions in exchange for a Saint Spirit Secret Realm? He was making a killing.* "Name them!"
