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

But this level of being stuck, naturally, wasn't something she couldn't handle.

Yunxi used both hands to pry at the space, the spatial rift grew wider, and she darted into the Dark Night Realm, emerging midair.

In the shadows, an old man with silver hair twitched the corner of his mouth.

"That brat's partner is really this little girl?"

"Realm? Hiss! Quasi-Saint at Perfection."

"Just one more step and she would reach Quasi-Saint Perfection and then break into the Saint Realm with ease."

"Tsk tsk! That's really something."

"It wouldn't be long before the Dragon Country would gain another Saint!"

"A Saint with the spatial attribute…" He fell into deep thought, then shook his head, turned around, and left.

The silver-haired old man hadn't planned to stop Yunxi from whatever she was about to do, since in his Dark Night Realm, a little girl at Quasi-Saint couldn't possibly stir up trouble.

The most important thing was, this little girl had a very close relationship with that brat.

*Brat... Seems his name was Xiao Ye or something!*

Yunxi's delicate body suddenly trembled, *feeling as though something was watching her,* but the sensation vanished in a nanosecond, barely lasting at all, so she didn't care much. After a slight frown, she no longer paid it any mind.

Currently, the conversion progress of her Spatial Body had reached ninety percent; every gesture she made could affect the space around her, and her combat power was dozens of times stronger than it had been a few days before.

All of this, she owed to the golden blood that Xiao Ye had given her.

Yunxi slipped into the spatial backside of the Dark Night Realm, concealed her presence, sensed Xiao Ye's aura, then drifted in that direction.

On the other side.

Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue exited the spatial tunnel and entered a low-lying canyon basin.

The basin was quite large, but sheer and treacherous cliffs surrounded it from all sides, enclosing the area.

Everywhere were severed fingers and remains, the air heavy with the stench of blood, heaps of pale bones stacked up, like Asura Hell itself—creepy enough to chill one's bones.

As the two set foot on the ground, hostile gazes, thick with hatred, bore into them from each of the canyon's four narrow exits.

Mu Qingxue looked tense and said, "This is a battlefield where Demon Beast races have fought, and it seems a new race war could start at any moment. We're standing right in the middle of it."

Xiao Ye's face darkened.

*Humans and Demon Beasts were two different races, born enemies. If Beast Warriors from the other races showed up, humans would be attacked first, wiped out first, and then the races would battle it out.*

*Putting them in the center of the battlefield meant they'd have to raise a flag and pick a fight with every kind of Demon Beast here!*

[Future Prediction] innate skill activated. Forasmootherreadingexperience,visitMV&LEMPYR.

Scene after scene flashed through Mu Qingxue's mind.

Space Type Demon Beasts, Phantom Spirit Type Demon Beasts, Ice Attribute Demon Beasts, and Light Attribute Demon Beasts—these four types would enter the battle and clash with each other in the canyon.

After these four Demon Beast types spotted the two of them, they all launched attacks at once, the assaults overwhelming and relentless.

[Space Slash], [Phantom Beam], [Absolute Freeze], [Solar Flare]

These were the four main innate skills.

The Demon Beasts' realms ranged from One-Star to Eight-Star in the Exalted Realm, most were Five-Star.

Mu Qingxue's little face tensed, and she told Xiao Ye all the details.

Xiao Ye acknowledged, then patted her gently, telling her not to worry.

Mu Qingxue's eyes widened, "Are you really trying to take advantage of me at a time like this? Are you looking for trouble?"

Xiao Ye asked curiously, "So when the time is right, I'll be able to touch you whenever I want?"

Mu Qingxue, bristling like a little hedgehog, shot back, "You wish! You can't touch me at any time."

"Tsk." Xiao Ye sized her up, thinking to himself, *Once the contract was formed, it was basically like getting married. In the Beast Girl era, there was no such thing as marital r*** or harassment; whatever I did would be perfectly justified, and she could resist all she wanted—it wouldn't matter.*

Suddenly, commotion arose at one of the narrow entrances, the air began to tremble, and a solemn killing intent crept in.

Xiao Ye's expression turned sharp, and he slapped Mu Qingxue with his palm.

Mu Qingxue didn't even try to dodge, instead she put on a smile and puffed out her, well, non-existent chest.

Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed.

Crack!

An invisible body was struck by Xiao Ye and exploded with a bang.

One second later, a Phantom State Phantom Spirit Demon Beast scorched black by thunder appeared on the ground, its eyes dull, its insides blasted apart—dead as a doornail.

Xiao Ye clapped his hands, "A Two-Star Phantom Spirit Demon Beast in the Exalted Realm still dared to act up in front of me."

Mu Qingxue wore a smile. She had used [Future Prediction] earlier and already seen this scene coming, so she didn't even bother to avoid it.

*This Phantom Spirit Demon Beast had clearly been after her. The Phantom State was so freaky it was nearly impossible to defend against—it was a good thing she saw it coming.*

"There are four more Phantom Spirit Type Demon Beasts. One at your upper-side, eight o'clock direction, one below at six o'clock, one ten meters to your left, and the last one, right behind me!"

Mu Qingxue's mouth fired off like a machine gun, talking incredibly fast.

*She wasn't a match for Demon Beasts in the Exalted Realm at all, so she could only rely on Xiao Ye's combat power to handle things.*

*She was support!*

Xiao Ye possessed the [Illusion Spirit Control] innate skill—born to control Phantom Spirit Factors. In his vision, Phantom Spirit Demon Beasts in Phantom State couldn't hide at all, they were fully exposed to him.

[Illusion Spirit Control, control Phantom Spirit Factor, control Phantom Spirit Bloodline] innate skill activated!

This skill passed down from a Mythical Level template, its grade extremely high. As soon as Xiao Ye willed it, every Phantom Spirit Factor nearby bent to his call,

Including the Phantom Spirit Factors and Phantom Spirit Bloodline inside the Phantom Spirit Demon Beasts!

Xiao Ye's figure flickered, dashing between several positions.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Crisp slaps rang out.

The bloodlines of four Phantom Spirit Demon Beasts were sealed, their Phantom Spirit Energy locked away, and they were forced out of Phantom State and into physical form, landing on the ground flat on their backs—eating a mouthful of dirt!

Looking closer, all of them had lifeless eyes, stopped breathing, and failed hearts.

Obviously, they were done for!

Mu Qingxue tilted up her little head and said with rare pride, "So how about that, Xiao Ye, you really have me to thank this time!"

"Without me, there's no way you could have lasted an hour!"

Xiao Ye didn't interrupt her gloating.

*After all, he'd just received a sound transmission from Dean Kunpeng, Quasi-Saint, and Great Power Yunxi. Transmission through a layer of space was a truly special skill—it was like someone breathing on his ear and gently touching it, enough to make his ears itch.*

"Xiao Ye, at the north canyon exit is a Space Type Demon Beast clan, around one hundred and fifty strong. Two hundred kilometers further north lies the Space Type Demon Beasts' nest—about three hundred of them. Give me your entrance permission to the Saint Spirit Secret Realm! I can't wait a second longer when I see those little Demon Beasts!"

"By the way, Phantom Spirit Type, Thunder Attribute, Ice Attribute—those rare Demon Beasts, I'll just collect them all too!"

Xiao Ye could hear how excited Yunxi was, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

*The hell, are you trying to catch every last Demon Beast here?*

He replied, "Show yourself for a second—I can't find you, so I can't put a marker on you."

Yunxi smacked her forehead. She was still on the spatial backside, so naturally Xiao Ye couldn't spot her, "Hold on."

She materialized and appeared before Xiao Ye, saying, "Relax, only you two can see me, the Mu Family Members won't notice a thing."

Mu Qingxue's hand shook, "You, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, I'm a Mu Family Member too, okay!"

Yunxi replied, "You're Xiao Ye's Beast Girl, you don't count as a Mu Family Member."

Mu Qingxue, "…"

Xiao Ye immediately put a marker on her, granting access to the Saint Spirit Secret Realm.

*But he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, he felt that under Yunxi's bulky white robe, certain curves seemed even perkier than before—even that puffy robe couldn't hide her knock-out figure.*

*She put Yun Bing to shame!*
