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

*Could she possibly know I have a way to fix her template issue?*

*No way!*

Only he knew about the Template Adjuster, and Xiao Ye was certain of that!

"Hiss! Could she have fallen for my good looks?" Xiao Ye thought about Sister Yun Bing's nickname—a thousand-year-old single—*hmm, maybe it's actually possible.*

Yun Bing couldn't form contracts with males; once a contract was signed, the man would literally explode.

Feeling curious about Sister Yun Bing's template problem, Xiao Ye opened up the Template Adjuster to check her details.

[Template: SSS-level Kunpeng Template] (Upgradeable)

[Detected Issues: 1, Rule conflict within the template, use the repair function to swap out the type of Rule Fragment Crystal, and it'll be fixed]

[Detected Issues: 2, The beast-eared girl's internal energy exceeds her realm's limit, which easily causes irritability; needs to be soothed with the Xuanhuang stone combined with acupoint massage as a method of fixing it]

"So, it's a rule conflict inside the template—that means, when Sister Yun Bing awakened her template, she absorbed the wrong kind of Rule Fragment Crystal, and that's what caused all these problems!"

"To solve the template issue, the Rule Fragment Crystal type needs to be replaced."

This totally opened Xiao Ye's mind. Nangong Siyao didn't absorb enough Rule Fragment Crystals when she awakened, while Sister Yun Bing took in the wrong kind.

*So Sister Yun Bing is easily irritable too?*

But if he was supposed to give a massage to that ripe, peach-like Sister Yun Bing, *wasn't he asking to get punched?*

*Granted, he did give Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi massages all the time, and his massage skills were polished to the point where the fruits seemed to guide his hands themselves.*

What caught Xiao Ye's attention the most was that the SSS-level template actually showed an "Upgradeable" option.

Xiao Ye move his will and clicked upgrade.

[Missing Rule Fragment Crystals, upgrade failed] The reference version of this chapter is on M*V*LEMPYR.

[Mythical Level Kunpeng Template, missing 100 Space Type Rule Fragment Crystals, 10 Creation Law Fragment Crystals]

The seductive, elegant Yun Bing noticed Xiao Ye staring at her in a daze, and instantly felt she must still have some charm—otherwise, why would he be so entranced?

*"Do I really have to use my looks to seduce this kid? Fine, I'm all in!"* Yun Bing made up her mind.

After a heads-up from the Vajra Venerable, she realized she had to lock down Xiao Ye before recruitment officers from the other nine top academies arrived at Wilderness Base City.

If not, then she'd lose her edge and have to battle nine different recruiters for him.

Yun Bing said to the City Lord, "City Lord, they haven't filled out their college choices yet, have they? I suggest they list our Devil City's top Beastmaster Academy, the Kunpeng Combat Academy."

Nangong Qitao looked troubled and said, "Wherever they want to go, I can't really force it. Sorry, Professor."

Nangong Qitao had been a student at Kunpeng Combat Academy himself. He had an S-Class Golden Tiger template and just barely got in off the exam cut-off line.

At noon, the City Lord threw a massive banquet, inviting every high school teacher in Wilderness Base City, plus friends and family, to celebrate the emergence of the top exam scholar—and also to celebrate Wilderness Base City moving up from dead last to ninth nationwide.

Inside the vast City Lord's Mansion hall, over a dozen tables were set. Over one thousand more were spread across the plaza outside.

The Third High principal, the dean and his wife, Xiao Ye, Nangong Siyao, Cheng Bingxi and Yun Bing, plus the City Lord and Lady, all shared a table.

The dean from Third High—also Cheng Bingxi's father—laughed and said, "Bingxi, Xiao Ye, the Imperial Capital's top Beast Tamer Academy is great! I heard last year's exam champion went there too."

The Third High principal nodded as well and said, "Hehe, with two top scholars from our Third High, I can't just pretend it didn't happen."

With that, the principal took out three fancy boxes and gave them to the trio, saying, "It's pollen from the Molo Fruit spirit plant—keeps you full of energy, ten rounds in a night, heh, just your speed, you young folks."

Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi both blushed. *"Pfft, who would like that!"*

*Honestly, Principal, how indecent can you get!*

Xiao Ye's mouth twitched. The principal had always cherished that Molo Fruit plant, and now it turned out it had... this use!

*But seriously, Principal, are you for real? Giving something like this to students?*

Nangong Siyao stood up, grabbed the box, and blushing asked, "Principal, Xiao Ye really loves this stuff, can you give us another ten boxes or so?"

Cheng Bingxi's face was red too, but her eyes sparkled. She added, "Yeah, yeah! Xiao Ye just loves this stuff."

"..." Xiao Ye, who was still stuck in his seat, felt a wave of despair. *Did he really like this stuff?!*

The principal laughed and replied, "Sure, if you all like it, what's a few more boxes? I'll bring more next time!"

Taking all three boxes, Nangong Siyao was all jazzed up and beamed, "Thank you, Principal!"

Yun Bing eyed Xiao Ye with an amused look, secretly thinking, *So this is your taste, huh.*

Yun Bing found an excuse to leave the City Lord's Mansion, tore open a portal, and muttered as she disappeared, "That Vajra Venerable loves collecting all that weird stuff—I'll go see if I can get some from him."

Hmph, you admissions guys want me to sell my looks? You can pay a price then.

If Vajra Venerable knew, he'd definitely say, "Hell no, that old spinster's here to smack me around again!"

The main hall at the City Lord's Mansion was bursting with excitement, and all of the teachers were in high spirits.

People kept coming up to toast Xiao Ye and his two friends.

The full leadership staff from First High and Second High, plus a few top-ranking officials from Wilderness Base City, all came up to toast the three of them.

They gave the trio all the respect in the world, which made the City Lord and Lady, plus Bingxi's parents, beam with pride.

"See, those are their kids—two pairs of top exam champions!"

After the toasting was done,

the City Lord noticed Professor Yun Bing was missing, so he turned to the three and said, "Siyao, Xiao Ye, Bingxi, which university do you want to apply for?"

Everyone nearby tuned in—the whole banquet was curious where the exam champs would end up.

Xiao Ye said, "Either Devil City or Imperial Capital."

The City Lord smiled and said, "Perfect! Imperial Capital is the super base city right at the top of the power ladder."

Bingxi's dad the dean agreed, "Right, graduate from Imperial Capital Academy and you can be a government official—can't beat that!"

Devil City Super Base City drove the nation's economy.

Imperial Capital Super Base City was the seat of all power.

*If Yun Bing knew her student Nangong Qitao was pushing the three to Imperial Capital, she'd probably be livid enough to jump up and down.*

Facing all this advice from the adults, Xiao Ye said he'd give it some serious thought.

That afternoon, Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi dragged Xiao Ye back to the villa, eager to test out the principal's "gift" and see if it actually worked.

Opening the tasteful gift box, they found ten neatly arranged potions—pure Molo Fruit pollen essence.

Xiao Ye twisted off one cap and downed the whole thing.

Nangong Siyao looked him over curiously. "Well, Xiao Ye, how do you feel?"

Xiao Ye took a moment, "Nothing, really."

Cheng Bingxi, not one to hold back, jumped right in, and after checking things herself, said disappointed, "Maybe he didn't drink enough?"

With that, Cheng Bingxi opened all nine remaining bottles and had Xiao Ye finish them off.

"Boom!"

Xiao Ye felt like all the energies in the universe were surging through his body.

Just then, the seductive Yun Bing appeared, dragged Xiao Ye into her room, locked the door, pushed him onto the bed, and exclaimed excitedly,

"I've got something good, and you're gonna love it!"

Xiao Ye, "!!!"

*Your timing could not be any worse!*
