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

Yun Bing's slender white fingers carefully rubbed the Rule Fragment Crystal, the joy on her face plain as day.

She tilted her head, then saw Yunxi's face covered in dark lines, and complained, "Hey, Yunxi, what's with that look? Are you staring at a corpse or something? Give your mama a smile."

Yunxi: …

Yunxi's mouth twitched, and she forced a fake smile uglier than if she were crying.

Yun Bing's face darkened, "Forget it, better if you don't smile, watching that just irks me!"

Then Yun Bing's eyes studied Yunxi's face carefully, full of tear streaks, and she asked in surprise, "You cried?"

"Damn, sis, you actually cried? That's a rare event, breaking news!"

"You, little ice block, actually shed tears!"

She couldn't help but gloat, teasing with zero filter, but after mocking she grew grim and said with a stern face, "Sis, who bullied you bad enough to make you cry? Tell me, who was it, I'll go teach 'em a lesson for you!"

*That person was you; are you going to beat yourself up?*

Yunxi couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, saying, "I'm at the Quasi-Saint Realm now, anyone who could make me cry, you'd be throwing your life away if you, little high-level Venerable lackey, tried to take them on."

Yun Bing suddenly understood, looking a little awkward, "Right, even you can't handle them, your mama would be the one getting her ass kicked!"

"Forget it then, I'll wait till I can win before I go fight. I'm not into pain or anything."

Yunxi's lips twitched, "What if it was Xiao Ye—if Xiao Ye made me cry, would you beat him up for me?"

Xiao Ye?

Yun Bing's little hand instinctively gripped the Fragment Crystal tight, like she might lose it, and shook her head with disdain, "Sis, you think I'm that easy to fool? Xiao Ye, that weakling at only the Grandmaster Realm, there's no way he could make you cry."

When Yun Bing left, Xiao Ye was only Seven-Star Grandmaster Realm.

Yunxi's gaze was complicated, *Right now, Xiao Ye was already Respectable Realm! And you've only been gone for half a month.*

Speaking of Xiao Ye, Yun Bing's expression suddenly got anxious, and she asked with caution, "Sis, how long was I in Chaotic Space? Was it a hundred and fifty years? I think I was pretty efficient, probably didn't take that long."

"Where's Xiao Ye now? After all this time, he should've had grandkids by now, right?"

"How many Beast Girls did he contract? Can he still take more?" N#o^t^e#: C!he^ck. M^_!VLEMPY$_R! for any correc+ti^on&s.

"Did he forget that there used to be a vice-dean named Yun Bing, and their promise?"

In Chaotic Space, time factors were scarce, the flow of time was different from Blue Star, and people lost all sense of time, so at this moment, she had no idea how much time had passed.

Yunxi's face was full of dark lines, *She was a bit pissed off—clearly in Yun Bing's mind, Xiao Ye outranked her right now.*

*Hey, weren't the two of them supposed to be actual family?*

Faced with Yun Bing's questions, Yunxi answered, "After you left, he contracted another Beast Girl. There are four Beast Girls now; you'll have to settle for being number five."

"It's only been about half a month since you left. He's still just a freshman at Kunpeng Academy. I'll call him over right now."

Yunxi pulled out her communicator and typed out a few messages to send.

She informed them about Yun Bing's current temporary condition, told them all to come say their last farewells together.

"Ha ha ha ha! Awesome," Yun Bing shouted with delight, laughing happily, unaware that she was about to die, living in a brief moment of clarity.

"Once my body gets a little better, I'll go find him!"

*Yunxi thought: That's impossible.*

*Healing Supreme Treasures were already the foundation of every great clan, let alone Supreme Level healing treasures—their equivalent of a second life. Usually, healing treasures were reserved for family ancestors or clan leaders; no great clan would ever use their foundation to save an outsider.*

"Knock knock knock!"

The knock at the door sounded, followed by Xiao Ye's voice, "Is Sister Yunxi here? We came to see Sister Yun Bing, to say goodbye."

The villa's main door opened automatically.

Xiao Ye, waiting outside with four Beast Girls, walked in.

Cheng Bingxi and two others navigated straight to the third-floor bedroom, while Mu Qingxue looked around with a curious face.

"Great-grandma, don't die! I don't want to lose you." Cheng Bingxi squatted next to the bed, holding Yun Bing's hands, bawling her eyes out.

Cheng Bingxi and Liu Ya both looked heartbroken.

"Huh?" Yun Bing looked confused, "What are you talking about? I'm not dying."

"Xiao Ye, you came and didn't even let me know. I didn't even fix my hair. I look a mess."

Xiao Ye glanced at Yun Bing's rosy face; she didn't even seem hurt, so he asked, "Sister Yunxi, is Sister Yun Bing's injury healed? Did you treat her already?"

Yunxi spoke up, "This is a temporary surge of clarity. It'll last about an hour at most."

"Her body and soul are both collapsing. In an hour, everything will fall apart. Even her consciousness will vanish."

Xiao Ye's face turned ugly, and *a crushing guilt rose in his heart*, "Did it happen in Chaotic Space?"

Yunxi nodded.

"Boom!" Like a bolt out of the blue, Xiao Ye was struck as if by thunder, stumbling and nearly falling.

*He had told Yun Bing what was needed to fix the template, and that's what made her throw herself into Chaotic Space without hesitation. If not for him, Yun Bing would probably still be vice-dean, safe, healthy, just enjoying her life.*

*But now, she was about to die!*

Yun Bing looked super annoyed, "Hey, Yunxi, what do you mean by 'brief clarity'? You just can't wait to curse me dead? I'm fine!"

"Xiao Ye, don't listen to her nonsense. I'll be back on my feet in a couple days."

"And you, Nangong Siyao, how many times do I have to tell you? Stop calling me great-grandma! Do I look that old to you? Call me Sister Yun Bing."

"You two as well, quit looking all heartbroken like someone's about to die. Give your mama a smile!"

"And the one in the back has to be the Mu family's young miss, right? Tsk tsk, Xiao Ye, you're really living the dream—another gorgeous girl."

Xiao Ye walked over with a somber face, pushing past the others, grabbing Yun Bing's hand, and activated [Life and Death Mastery: Controlling Life and Death Factors].

The endless life factors around gathered to him, transforming into the substance of life, condensing into life essence, the life essence compressing again and again, until it became a few drops of colorless liquid, teeming with intense vitality.

A small cup appeared in his hand, those thick drops of liquid collected into the cup, and after a few minutes, Xiao Ye was panting, exhausted, but finally the cup was full of strong life essence.

"Sister Yun Bing, it was my fault. I'll do everything I can to save you." Xiao Ye helped Yun Bing sit up, then personally fed her the endless-life-filled colorless liquid.

Feeling the overflowing vitality, Mu Qingxue was a little surprised. She had seen it before—this was Life Essence! That was a Supreme Level healing potion, extremely rare and absurdly expensive—money couldn't buy it.

"Gulp gulp!" Being helped so intimately, Yun Bing's face turned red as she took little sips, her expression enjoying it, eyes slightly dazed, and when she finished it, she looked like she wanted more.

"It's useless. I've already used healing potions on her." Yunxi's face was expressionless as she spoke, "Only a Healing Treasure can heal wounds this deep."

"Besides, her Soul Body is also on the edge of collapse."

Xiao Ye's face got so black it looked like charcoal, a perfect reflection of his mood.

Seeing his pained expression, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but speak up, "Xiao Ye, I have a Supreme Level Healing Treasure in my family; I'll go request one right away."
