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

After they finished discussing, Mu Cheng said, "Alright, the Ye Family isn't coming to propose until tomorrow, so you guys can go rest. Xiao Ye, you should stay in the City Lord's Mansion too, stay at Xue'Er's place."

Mu Qingxue pulled Xiao Ye out of the main hall and headed toward her villa.

Inside the main hall.

Mu Cheng rubbed his forehead, *feeling a wave of frustration inside.*

Song Xi'Er could tell what he was struggling with and chuckled, "Since you don't want Xue'Er to be the fourth, why don't you just break them up by force?"

Mu Cheng sighed, "You know how stubborn Xue'Er is, nothing we say can get her to change her mind. With that temper of hers, once she thinks something's right, she's not stopping till she hits a wall."

Song Xi'Er frowned, "But our proud City Lord's Daughter becoming the fourth wheel? If that got out, people would laugh themselves to death."

"Our Demon Capital City Lord's Mansion is a huge name in Dragon Country, with real status. If we don't break them up, we'll be the butt of jokes for a thousand years!"

"Besides, our old ancestor would never agree!"

The ancestor of the Demon Capital City Lord's Mansion was a living Saint Realm expert, one of the few Saint Realm beings left in the world.

Mu Cheng was a total daughter-doting maniac, otherwise he wouldn't have pushed to cancel the Ye Family marriage agreement. He sighed again and said, "Let's just take it one step at a time. As long as Xue'Er's happy."

"Hmph!" Who would've thought the City Lord's Wife, Song Xi'Er, would snort, her eyes turning cold as she said, "Just keep spoiling her. Sooner or later, you're gonna push Xue'Er off a cliff."

"You want to play the good guy, so I'll play the bad one. If you won't break them up, I will!"

"I'll do whatever it takes to split those two up!"

As Mu Cheng's Contractor, Song Xi'Er's Realm was the same as his—both high-level Supreme, both Array Master Supremes.

Song Xi'Er's figure flickered and she disappeared.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingxue and Xiao Ye, on their way to her villa, were feeling pretty pleased about their successful plan. Right then, Mu Qingxue got grabbed by a hand on her shoulder, and was dragged away just like that.

Xiao Ye saw it, and realized it was Song Xi'Er—Mu Qingxue's mom.

So he just kept following the path ahead, planning to look around the City Lord's Mansion and enjoy the views.

In the ladies' room of a public restroom,

Song Xi'Er set Mu Qingxue down, scowling as she said, "I need to ask you something."

Mu Qingxue looked curious, "What? You had to bring me here to talk?!"

Song Xi'Er narrowed her eyes, giving Mu Qingxue a careful once-over, then asked, "How far have you and Xiao Ye gone?"

As long as Xue'Er and Xiao Ye hadn't gone all the way, that meant there was still hope to save her—she could still break them up!

Being checked out like that, Mu Qingxue knew exactly what her mom was really asking.

*How far?*

*Back in the Underground Crystal Ore, when Xiao Ye detoxed her, he took her virginity.*

*They'd done everything.*

Mu Qingxue's delicate face instantly turned bright red.

Song Xi'Er got a bad feeling and said, "You've already done everything?"

Mu Qingxue squirmed, a little embarrassed, and said,

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

"We've only ever held hands and kissed." But even she didn't sound confident saying it. To support our work, please read on M|V|LE_MPYR.

Song Xi'Er breathed a sigh of relief and grinned, "That's good then."

Just to be safe, Song Xi'Er grabbed Mu Qingxue's wrist, reached out with her spiritual sense, and wanted to check for herself.

*Sorry, Xue'Er!*

After searching with her spiritual sense, Song Xi'Er had her answer. Her smile totally vanished and her face turned ugly.

"Xue'Er, you—you actually dared to lie to your own mother! You and Xiao Ye have already done everything!"

"And you've shared a bed more than once!"

"You, you really let me down!"

Song Xi'Er looked utterly disappointed.

*Mu Qingxue panicked inside, her expression tinged with anger as she said, "Mom, how can you just go snooping around in someone else's privacy? I might be your daughter, but I'm not your toy!"*

Song Xi'Er shook her head, didn't say anything, and vanished in a streak of white light.

Xue'Er had already gone all the way with Xiao Ye, and even if she wanted to change things, Song Xi'Er knew there was nothing she could do. She gave up on breaking them apart and decided to just let things play out naturally.

*The City Lord's Mansion didn't have to care about public opinion, they weren't about to let others' opinions or judgments tie them down. But if the family's old ancestor started grilling them, then Xue'Er was gonna be in for a rough time. Wonder how Xiao Ye would handle that?*

Mu Qingxue left the ladies' room, feeling moody.

Over on the men's side of the restroom, Jie Gangtai was squatting and clenching his teeth, his whole body shaking.

He'd heard every word of Mu Qingxue and Song Xi'Er's conversation!

He couldn't believe Xue'Er and Xiao Ye had done everything, and not just once either. That completely shattered his image of Mu Qingxue, his Moonlight Goddess.

*Wait! Last time at the Underground Crystal Ore, before they left, Xue'Er looked totally exhausted and haggard. Was that because Xiao Ye had, you know—done her?*

*Yeah, that must be it!*

*He'd been dumb enough to think they'd just gotten into a fight.*

"Ah!!!"

Jie Gangtai let out a miserable wail, feeling like his goddess was gone forever.

His face twisted, eyes going bloodshot.

"Xiao Ye, you really deserve to die!"

"No way, Xiao Ye's done that to Xue'Er without any mercy, left her so weak she couldn't even stand! I gotta find him!"

Jie Gangtai pulled up his pants—didn't even wipe! He stomped off looking for Xiao Ye, determined to get some answers for the sake of his goddess.

He stormed out of the restroom, asked a few patrolling guards, and finally got Xiao Ye's location.

He made a beeline for that spot.

Halfway there, he passed by a shop. He paused for a second, then went inside and bought a couple boxes of something called Du Leisi, then hurried out.

In the store, two patrol squad captains saw the whole thing, exchanged a grin, and shot each other an "I get it" look.

Little Tai finally got the memo!

Elsewhere.

Xiao Ye kept strolling toward Mu Qingxue's villa. Since it was his first time at the Demon Capital City Lord's Mansion, he walked pretty slowly, sightseeing along the way.

At that moment, a frantic figure, stinking of bathroom, came rushing over and blocked him.

Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow, "What's up, you need something?"

*What, you didn't get beat up enough last time?*

Jie Gangtai just stood there, saying nothing, face gloomy, chest heaving, eyes bloodshot—he looked hyped up and pissed off.

Noting his clenched fists and murderous glare, Xiao Ye's lips twitched, "You looking for another beatdown? Don't think just because we're in the City Lord's Mansion, I won't smack you."

"Uh, well, I'll spare you for today since we're inside the City Lord's Mansion—think of it as saving you some face."

"If you know what's good for you, step aside, don't mess up my mood for sightseeing!"

Jie Gangtai's fists stayed clenched and he glared daggers at Xiao Ye, unmoving.

Xiao Ye looked resigned, "If that's how you're gonna be, don't blame me for not going easy on you."

Xiao Ye was about to throw down!

Jie Gangtai suddenly said, "Wait!"

"I'm not here to fight, I got something to say to you."

Xiao Ye smirked, "Oh? What is it? Spill."

Jie Gangtai's face turned bitter and melancholy, "Xiao Ye, just—please be good to Xue'Er."

*Realizing he wasn't a match for Xiao Ye, Jie Gangtai changed his plan. He couldn't confront him, but he figured he could at least do what he could to make Xiao Ye treat Xue'Er right.*

"Xue'Er's proud, never gives a damn about guys. The fact that she's with you means you really got through to her heart..."

He went on for three or four minutes, rambling on without stopping.

Xiao Ye stared at him, totally stunned.

*Damn, the guy was really obsessed. Seriously obsessed. He actually got Mu Qingxue.*

After another couple minutes, Jie Gangtai was still lost in his own world, monologuing away.

"Stop! Don't say another word—what do you want, exactly?" Xiao Ye said, annoyed.

Jie Gangtai went quiet. After a moment, he pulled out a couple boxes from his storage ring, each one labeled "Du Leisi," handed them to Xiao Ye, and pleaded,

"Please, just be gentle with Xue'Er. Otherwise, I'll feel bad for her!"

"!!!" Xiao Ye was floored.

"Bro, if you can be this much of a simp, I gotta respect it." Xiao Ye patted him on the shoulder admiringly, then pocketed those brand-new, still-sealed boxes.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her." Xiao Ye promised.

Jie Gangtai showed a grateful look and said, "Thanks."
