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

Mu Qingxue turned around, wanting to leave and head back to the City Lord's Mansion, but just as her foot stepped out of the bedroom door, she heard Xiao Ye say,

"Wait!"

Mu Qingxue paused, looked back, and said, "I'll bring the Venerable Level Healing Treasure."

Xiao Ye gave her a deep look, "Thank you!"

Mu Qingxue shook her head with a smile and said, "We're a married couple bound by contract, isn't it only natural to help each other out?"

Xiao Ye nodded hard, "Yeah, yeah!"

*At that moment, Xiao Ye's feelings and perception of Mu Qingxue changed, truly accepting her.*

*This arrogant little girl Mu Qingxue, except being a bit proud and stubborn, also loved her pride. But she was a girl who cared deeply about loyalty and relationships—someone worth cultivating, fighting, and growing together with.*

After Mu Qingxue left, Xiao Ye sat by the bed, face stoic, as he held Sister Yun Bing's small hand and said,

"Sister Yun Bing, I'm sorry, this is all my fault."

"But don't worry, as long as I'm here, you won't die."

Yunxi heard this with a blank face, thinking Xiao Ye was just offering some comforting words—not really serious. The same went for Cheng Bingxi and the other two women.

Yun Bing was utterly confused. *Why was everyone saying she was going to die? She felt fine, just a little hurt. She'd be alright in a few days, right?*

She glanced around, and everyone present was looking at her with a gaze full of pity and sadness.

"Uh, this..."

"Am I really going to die?"

"Why don't I know about it?"

Yunxi revealed the truth, "Yun Bing, why don't you use your divine sense to check inward? You'll find both your body and soul body are critically damaged, on the verge of collapse."

"So, while you still have time, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, say them now. Whatever it is, if we can do it for you, we will make it happen!"

Yun Bing clutched the fragment crystal tightly, mustering her extremely weakened divine sense to look inside herself.

Her body, internal organs, cultivation root, spiritual sea, soul body—

everything was as broken as a ruined willow, ready to fall apart any second.

Scanning herself again and again, Yun Bing's face went pale, then paler, until finally it was white as a sheet, bloodless!

She was terrified!

"I'm really going to die!" Yun Bing panicked, utterly lost, "How could this happen, how could this happen!"

*She finally realized how serious things were. It was irreversible, too late for regrets.*

*Yun Bing's eyes became dull, unable to accept this reality.*

"Boo hoo hoo!" Seeing her this desperate, Nangong Siyao lay by the bed, sobbing.

Cheng Bingxi and Liu Ya both had red eyes.

Yunxi spoke up, "Yun Bing, if you have any wishes, say them now—otherwise, there won't be time. Do you really want to die full of regrets?" This content is hosted at M|V|LE^MPYR.

Yun Bing's delicate body shuddered, eyes blank, full of despair and panic, she said,

"I don't want to die, I haven't even touched a man, I haven't formed a contract marriage, I can't die!"

"Sis, I don't want to die!"

Two tears rolled down Yunxi's eyes, "Sorry, Sis can't save you."

*Yunxi hated herself for being a homebody. She always stayed inside the villa cultivating, never bothered collecting, buying, or fighting for healing treasures.*

*Even if the Mu Family heiress brought a body-type healing treasure, it wouldn't work, because Yun Bing's soul body was collapsing too. Soul-type healing treasures were even rarer and more precious than body-type ones. There was basically no way to get one in time.*

So, Yun Bing was definitely going to die.

Xiao Ye said seriously, "Sister Yun Bing, you won't die, I mean it."

Everyone took his words as mere comfort, not seriously, including Yun Bing herself.

Seeing Yun Bing struggling to accept the truth, Yunxi spoke for her, "Xiao Ye, Yun Bing has one last wish, you need to help her realize it."

Xiao Ye fell silent.

Nangong Siyao stomped her foot anxiously and said, "Xiao Ye, whatever Sister Yun Bing's wish is, you have to make it happen. Or I'll castrate you!"

Cheng Bingxi and Liu Ya nodded hard, agreeing, "That's right, you have to do it!"

"Yeah, we can't let the vice dean pass away with regrets!"

Xiao Ye fell silent again.

Nangong Siyao glared at him, and said, "Sister Yunxi, what's Sister Yun Bing's wish?"

Yun Xiliu frowned, "Yun Bing's in love."

"Huh?"

"???"

Nangong Siyao, Cheng Bingxi, Liu Ya, and Xiao Ye were all confused.

Some light returned to Yun Bing's blank eyes, and her pretty face turned red, a little embarrassed.

Yunxi continued, "Single for fifteen hundred years, this is the first time Yun Bing fell for a man. She wants to make a contract marriage with him, become husband and wife."

"Ugh!" Yun Bing covered her face with her hands, "Sis, stop, this is so embarrassing!"

Yunxi shook her head, "No, I'm going to say it."

Everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Ye, realizing what Yunxi was about to say next.

Just as everyone thought, Yunxi gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Ye! Yun Bing's fallen for you. So, how do you feel?"

"Have you ever had feelings for Yun Bing, as a man and a woman?"

Yun Bing got nervous, her gaze a little evasive, but she kept stealing glances at Xiao Ye. *She really wanted to know his response.*

Xiao Ye's mouth twitched, "But I always saw Sister Yun Bing as a mentor, I never felt that way about her!"

The light in Yun Bing's beautiful eyes darkened again, her face turning lifeless and pale, full of despair.

Yunxi let out a sigh.

Nangong Siyao, frustrated, punched Xiao Ye and snapped, "Asshole, can't you say something better?"

"Sister Yun Bing's almost gone, not much time left. Say something comforting at least, so she can leave satisfied."

"Plus, I think you're lying!"

"Don't think I didn't notice. When great-grandma first got to Wilderness Base City, you used to stare at her, practically drooling."

Xiao Ye's face got awkward. *I'm innocent, dammit! What guy didn't like looking at beautiful women? He just stared a couple more times, that's all.*

Yunxi snorted coldly.

Yun Bing kept her eyes blank and emotionless, like she really was gone.

Xiao Ye sighed, and said helplessly, "Fine, actually, I'm just a pervert, I've always been hungry for Sister Yun Bing's body."

Saying that made his old face turn red. *If he hadn't been forced, he'd rather die than say it.*

Nangong Siyao, Cheng Bingxi, Liu Ya, and Yunxi were all dumbfounded.

It was explosive!

The light came back to Yun Bing's eyes, and her pretty face turned red as she said, "Xiao Ye, those are comforting words, huh? I like hearing that too. Come on, say some more, cheer me up."

Xiao Ye's face went dark as he shook his head hard. No way, even if he died, he wasn't saying any more.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door, and Mu Qingxue walked in with a silver-haired old man.

"This is my Mu Family Ancestor, he's agreed to bring out a Venerable Level Healing Treasure to save Sister Yun Bing," Mu Qingxue introduced.

The Mu Family Ancestor, a living ancestor at the Saint Realm!

Everyone present greeted him with respect.

The silver-haired old man responded to them one by one, then patted Xiao Ye on the shoulder, smiling, "For you, my little girl threatened me with her life to get me to hand over a Healing Treasure. You better not mistreat her."

He raised his hand, and above his palm appeared a Wood Heart glowing with deep green light.

Xiao Ye looked grateful, "Don't worry, Ancestor. As long as I'm here, I won't let Xue'Er suffer."

Mu Qingxue smiled.

The silver-haired elder nodded, moved closer to Yun Bing, put his hand on her palm and checked her pulse. His face turned grim, and he said, "Great-great-great-great-great granddaughter, great-great-great-great-great grandson-in-law, this person's injuries are too severe. Just a Healing Treasure from me isn't enough."

,I can restore her body completely, but her soul body—I'm powerless."

,"I don't have a soul-type Healing Treasure either."

,"So, do you still want to proceed with the treatment?"
