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

Looking at the huge chamber pot, Xiao Ye clapped his hands in satisfaction, and said,

"Sister Yunxi should really love this!"

Nangong Siyao's expression turned strange, "I've never seen anyone give a chamber pot as a gift before. Director, do you think she won't mind?"

Cheng Bingxi didn't care and said, "It's fine. Sister Yunxi wants the golden blood for research, not to drink it. Whether it's in a chamber pot or a water bottle, it makes no difference."

*Nangong Siyao thought about it and agreed, as long as it's not for drinking, it's fine.*

*Besides, who the hell drinks blood anyway?*

*Are you some kind of freak?*

Liu Ya asked, "Xiao Ye, after your template evolution, your human body got feedback too and evolved as if shedding an old shell. Now your blood contains a lot of mystery and unknowns. If you let the director research it, isn't there a chance it could leak some privacy?"

Xiao Ye shook his head, reassuring her.

"Template evolution is something even deeper than template flaws. Sister Yunxi has been tormented by template issues for over a thousand years and still hasn't solved them. Do you really think she could unlock the secret to template evolution?"

"Impossible!"

"Even if you give her more golden blood and she studies for years, it'll just be her groping in the dark! In the end, it's probably all wasted effort, and she'll get nothing."

*Giving her the golden blood, whatever. Xiao Ye had gotten a lot out of this, after all!*

The entire Elf Race had been taken and locked up in the Holy Spirit Secret Realm!

Xiao Ye glanced at the sexy assistant Liu Ya, her cheeks full of collagen, and said, "I've got all the resources for upgrading the Spirit Illusion Cat template ready. Sister Liu Ya, are you up for the upgrade?"

"You need to make up your mind for real. When you upgrade your template, it's like getting a whole new, even stronger one, but your realm resets to zero and you'll have to cultivate from scratch."

Liu Ya's current realm was Great Venerable One-Star. If she started over, it would take around two or three months to recover.

Liu Ya had already made up her mind. She nodded seriously, and said,

"I'm ready, anytime!"

Xiao Ye opened up the view function on the Template Adjuster.

[SSS-level Spirit Illusion Cat Template] (Upgradeable) [Mythical Level Spirit Illusion Ancestor Cat Template]

He clicked the 'Upgradeable' option, which brought up the upgrade requirements,

[50 Creation Rule Fragment Crystals, 50 Spirit Illusion Rule Fragment Crystals, 50 Thunder Attribute Rule Fragment Crystals]

*Xiao Ye frowned, his face twisting in annoyance!*

Liu Ya thought he was worried about her, so she smiled and said, "I can totally handle starting over. So when can I level up my template?"

Xiao Ye looked apologetic, and said,

"Sorry, looks like we're missing something. Still need fifty Thunder Attribute Fragment Crystals."

But Liu Ya's eyes lit up. She knew Xiao Ye could extract Rule Fragment Crystals from demon beasts. "Thunder attribute? Thunder attribute demon beasts are everywhere. You can find a ton of them on even a small secondary territory."

Then she called up a Deputy Director at the training base and told him what she needed.

"That's right, as soon as possible, it's urgent!"

A minute after hanging up,

Knock knock knock!

There came a knock at the door. Liu Ya cheerfully ran out to open it, welcoming in a Deputy Director at the Great Venerable Peak Realm.

The Deputy Director handed over a storage ring with a smile, and said,

"Teacher, I just finished slaughtering over a hundred Thunder Attribute demon beasts at the Grandmaster Realm as quickly as I could. Their bodies are all inside."

*Xiao Ye was stunned—damn, that was fast. It'd only been a minute!*

He took the storage ring and went down to the basement, dumping out the thunder attribute demon beast corpses one by one, then fired up the extraction function on the Template Adjuster.

Demon beasts that had just died, or were on the verge of death, could have their fragment crystals extracted without issue.

The mighty force of extraction descended!

The demon beast corpses on the ground started twitching and trembling like they'd been struck with pure terror, until finally they all turned to powder.

[Grandmaster Realm Thunder Attribute Demon Beast, successfully extracted 60 Thunder Attribute Rule Fragment Crystals]

[Grandmaster Realm Thunder Attribute Demon Beast, successfully extracted 40 Creation Rule Fragment Crystals]

Xiao Ye pulled out a Thunder Attribute Crystal, and the basement instantly crackled and flashed with lightning, thunder roaring through the air.

[Thunder Attribute Fragment Crystal binding successful] [Owner: Xiao Ye]

When he got back to the living room on the first floor, only five minutes had passed.

The Deputy Director was chatting with Liu Ya about something.

"All the disciples went back. Only a few stayed behind, planning to make a go of it here in Shanghai Base City. That includes Senior Brother Skinny Monkey and Senior Sister Vajra Barbie..."

As soon as Xiao Ye came back, he handed over a thumb-sized chunk of Crystal Essence and a fist-sized piece of Conception Crystal Stone as payment.

The Deputy Director happily took them, thumping his chest and promising Xiao Ye he could always come to him for help.

Just the thumb-sized bit of Conception Crystal Stone weighed a pound. It was considered priceless—you couldn't even buy it on the market. A single pound was worth one Great Venerable Crystal Core, extremely rare, pretty much only passed around within big families, never sold outside.

If you wanted to pre-order Conception Crystal Stone in open markets, you could, but a pound would still cost a Venerable Crystal Core—still rare stuff.

With five thousand tons of Essence and fifty thousand tons of Crystal Stones, Xiao Ye figured he had nothing to worry about.

His current hidden assets and crystal core stash were on par with the Hong Family—maybe even ahead.

Half an hour later, the Deputy Director left.

Xiao Ye took Liu Ya into the Holy Spirit Secret Realm to upgrade her template, leaving Cheng Bingxi and Nangong Siyao outside, and dropped off a hundred kilograms of Crystal Essence for Great Grandmaster Realm Cheng Bingxi.

Holy Spirit Secret Realm.

A hundred thousand meters down in the rock layers beneath the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

The Elf King and the nine Elf Elders were in great spirits, unable to hide the joy on their faces.

Just from their investigation, within ten thousand miles in any direction, there were no humans, no Hong Family, and no base cities—just demon beasts!

Those demon beasts, brimming with destructive power, stuck to the surface!

Down below, there weren't even any traces of demon beast activity!

This meant they could occupy the underground, free from threats, with no need to worry about being targeted by powerful enemies.

Among those demon beasts on the surface, the strongest were only at the Great Venerable Peak Realm.

After careful deliberation, the Elf King and the nine Elf Elders convened, and after a thorough discussion, decided the Elf Race would put down roots and make this hundred-thousand-meter-deep rock layer their new home!

After just a few hours of concentrated effort—thanks in large part to the Phantom Spirit Elf King Beast's lineage—they'd hollowed out the rock and carved out an enormous underground space.

Chunk after giant chunk of Essence was manifested by the Great Venerable Peak Realm Elf King and the Elders' Talent Skills.

When Xiao Ye and Liu Ya appeared in that space, the new Elf Territory was already taking shape, full of vibrant and promising energy.

A blinding flash of white light swept by.

The Elf King and nine Elf Elders at Great Venerable Peak Realm appeared in front of the two of them.

*Feeling the powerful aura coming from them, Liu Ya tensed up immediately.*

But the Elf King greeted them warmly, and said,

"You two young friends don't have to be nervous. In fact, we should be thanking you. You've freed our Elf Race from the claws of the Hong Family and helped us find an even better place to live."

The nine Elf Elders chimed in, "Yes, thank you, young friends."

"..."

The Elf King made Xiao Ye an honorary elder of the Elf Race.

He also promised that every so often, they would send Xiao Ye a set amount of Crystal Stones and Essence.
