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

"Little bro, I'm rooting for you!"

"Relax, no matter what kind of attitude my great-great-great-great-granddaughter has, tomorrow I'm supervising you two as you form a contract, and I'll personally see you off into the bridal chamber!"

The silver-haired old man wrapped an arm around Xiao Ye's shoulder, acting chummy and overly familiar.

"If my great-great-great-great-granddaughter doesn't do it for you, you can marry another girl from our clan, too. Just tell me which one you like, and I'll make it happen for you!"

Xiao Ye felt embarrassed, "Elder, you're joking, I get along great with Qingxue."

Mu Qingxue stomped her foot and whined, "Oh come on, Ancestor, can you stop meddling in my business with Xiao Ye? We'll figure things out ourselves."

The old man snorted, "You think I don't know what you two are scheming?"

"Alright, you two head back to the City Lord's Mansion, especially you, my great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter, don't even think about playing tricks!"

Mu Qingxue and Xiao Ye were both stunned, "You knew all along?"

"Hmph!" The old man didn't say anything else, just waved his hand to open a round portal, then booted both of them through with a double kick.

Inside the exclusive villa for the City Lord's daughter.

The living room.

"Oww! What the hell was that for." Mu Qingxue landed with a smack, like a skin drum tossed against the hard, cold marble floor.

Xiao Ye, on the other hand, landed comfortably on the soft plush sofa.

Mu Qingxue rubbed her sore, perky butt and complained, "That was a total revenge move, deliberate for sure. He kicked me so hard, but you got a gentle nudge and landed on the sofa. Now my poor butt is killing me!"

Xiao Ye's brow twitched, "Our whole act got seen through by your ancestor. If you try to pull any stunts tomorrow and refuse to form the contract or go into the bridal chamber, I bet he'll punish you even worse."

He added smugly, "Hey! Your old ancestor already gave me the stamp of approval—how about that? Pretty awesome, right?"

Mu Qingxue looked at him with major resentment, "Awesome, yeah, you're the coolest, whatever."

"I'll do the contract, fine. Bridal chamber, whatever, I wasn't planning to mess around anyway."

Next, Xiao Ye walked over and pushed Mu Qingxue down on the sofa so that she was lying face-down.

"What do you think you're doing?" Her face blushed, and she was suddenly shy.

Xiao Ye placed his hand on the spot where she'd landed just now and started massaging, saying, "I'm a master of massage skill, I can really help with the pain. As your fiancé, giving you a massage isn't too much, is it?"

As she felt that strange sensation, Mu Qingxue's cheeks turned bright red, and she immediately popped up, pushing Xiao Ye away and huffing,

"Don't touch me!" Nееd сhаrасtеr shееts аnd glоssаriеs? Visit МV^LЕМ^РYR.

"Don't think I don't see through you, LSP! ('lecherous straight pervert') You're just trying to take advantage, and you act all high and mighty saying you're a master of massage skill—who are you trying to fool?"

Saying that, she hurried into the bedroom, buried her face in the covers, and whispered in embarrassment,

"It actually felt kinda nice."

"Good thing I pushed him away just in time—otherwise I might've actually moaned out loud!"

"No way, I absolutely can't let Xiao Ye see me like that!"

"I'm Mu Qingxue for god's sake!"

The living room.

*Getting shoved backward four or five steps before finally stopping, Xiao Ye's face went cold and icy, and he actually got pissed.*

*He'd genuinely wanted to help her with her pain; if there was a little benefit to himself, that was just a side effect, not the point. But she didn't appreciate it at all!*

*What a joke.*

*The two of them were about to have a wedding and form a contract tomorrow, and she was still pretending to be a saint?*

*He'd gone all out pretending to be her fake boyfriend, helping her fend off Ye Fan and joining in all the tests, with not a lick of reward. The special help placement he'd been promised hadn't even materialized.*

*Was Mu Qingxue trying to pull a fast one and get all the benefits for nothing?*

Xiao Ye's face stayed frosty as he grumbled, "If you can't appreciate the favor, don't blame me for being cold, heh."

Just then, Mu Qingxue returned to normal, carrying her clothes into the bathroom to get a shower. The three rounds of tests had left her covered in dust, with a scorched and bloody smell all over.

Pretty girls always liked being clean, and she was no exception.

"Hmph!" As she passed by Xiao Ye, she snorted, trying to hide the embarrassment in her eyes.

She wanted to finish her shower fast, then go look for some papaya to eat.

*Watching her disappear, Xiao Ye suddenly came up with a bold idea!*

Ten minutes later, Xiao Ye figured it was about time, so he pushed open the bathroom door and swaggered in.

"!!!" Standing buck naked under the shower, Mu Qingxue was totally stunned. "What are you doing?"

Xiao Ye didn't care, stared at her for a few seconds with a look of disdain and contempt, then sauntered over to the toilet like nothing was wrong and started peeing.

After he was done, he walked right back out and shut the door behind him.

"???"

Mu Qingxue was left utterly dumbfounded.

*What… what was with that look? Disdain? Contempt? Did he not even see me as a woman?*

*So fucking irritating!*

Mu Qingxue finished her shower and got dressed in record time, then rushed out with her hands on her hips, demanding, "Xiao Ye, what's your problem?"

Xiao Ye shrugged, "You said not to touch, but you never said I couldn't look. I'm just following your rules, OK?"

*After all that stuff he'd done for her, this was just a little interest on the debt.*

Mu Qingxue's eye twitched. It was true, she'd never said he couldn't look, just always told him not to touch her.

*But what kind of psycho logic is that?*

*So just because you can't touch, you think it's cool to stare?*

"Hmph! I'll show you what's what!" Mu Qingxue huffed, storming out of the villa, taking his contemptuous look way too seriously, not even knowing where she was headed.

*Xiao Ye was totally baffled. 'Show me what?'*

*Oh, if she didn't object, that meant she endorsed my method, right? No touch, but looking's cool!*

*With that settled, Xiao Ye felt a little better and then left the villa, heading back to Kunpeng Academy.*

It was afternoon now, and with plenty of time left in the day, he needed to find Yunxi.

The wedding was tomorrow, so he wasn't in a rush.

Meanwhile, all the most powerful families in the ten top base-cities around Dragon Country—the City Lord's Manors, and every big name—had just received wedding invitations from the Demon Capital City Lord's Mansion.

[Double Happiness]

[Tomorrow, our beloved daughter and a young, outstanding man will form a blissful union. A grand wedding will be held, you are hereby invited.]

The invitation itself was a Venerable-tier spatial teleportation item; as long as the invited person pressed their handprint, they'd activate the teleportation, open a spatial portal, and step right through to the Demon Capital City Lord's Mansion.

At the Imperial Base City, the Ye Family received the invitation. Ye Fan, furious, threw it on the floor, stomped on it, and spat, saying,

"Arrogant, absolutely arrogant! I just broke off the engagement, and the Mu Family immediately sends out wedding invites? Is this just to humiliate me?"

Within the Dragon Country Venerable Alliance, at the Alliance Hierarch's place.

A stunningly noble woman, draped in purple, handed the invite to her closed-door disciple, Huangpu Xiangling, and said softly,

"It's not convenient for me to attend the Mu Family's wedding banquet in person. You go in my place."

Huangfu Xiangling's eyes darted with a mischievous glint as she took the invite and sneakily stroked her master's palm, saying, "OK, Master!"

The beautiful woman Ziran pulled her hand back in a flash, coughed, and said, "Xiangling, even Mu Qingxue has settled down—it's time you found a man and formed a contract, too."

The petite and adorable Xiangling shook her head vigorously, "Nope, I'll stay with you forever, Master."

Ziran smacked her forehead, exasperated.

This 5'7" knockout of a disciple was real trouble. Ever since awakening her template, she'd looked down on men and refused to form any contract, and what's more, she spent all her time getting handsy with her female master.

*Looks like I picked up a super bent disciple—what kind of karma is this?*
