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

Watching Cheng Yi's departing figure, Nangong Siyao's face showed an expression of disgust.

"The Vajra Venerable was a powerhouse who served the nation and the people, dedicating countless merits to the country, and was truly someone worthy of respect."

"But that student council president, on the other hand, had terrible character, doing evil every day, relying on his parents being Venerables, acting all high and mighty, it was just too much!"

On Cheng Bingxi's pretty face, anger also appeared, her small fists clenched as she chimed in, "Yeah!"

"They were like two extremes. I heard that student council president hadn't graduated even after ten years, just loafing around at the academy, but the Vajra Venerable would go to guard the frontlines for humanity every so often!"

"There were so many times the Devil City's frontier came close to being breached, the people nearly falling into disaster, but every time, the Vajra Venerable would team up with a few other Venerables and repel the Sea Beast tide!"

Xiao Ye came over and ruffled their little heads, laughing,

"He already promised Brother Cheng he'd change."

Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi were both shocked.

"He really said that?"

Xiao Ye withdrew his hands and stuffed them in his pockets, almost forgetting his hands still carried a mix of strange smells, and replied,

"Yeah, that guy's Cheng Yi. He personally promised Brother Cheng and me that he'd change."

"Brother Cheng even wanted me to keep an eye on him."

Brother Cheng was Cheng Gang, aka the Vajra Venerable.

Nangong Siyao's little nose twitched. She seemed to catch the scent of a woman and looked at Xiao Ye suspiciously before leaning in and sniffing his body a couple of times.

Cheng Bingxi smelled something fragrant too, but she wasn't sensitive to it and didn't really pay attention.

"Then let all three of us keep an eye on him! If that bastard—no, if any of that student council bunch pulls any shit, we'll report straight to Brother Cheng!" Cheng Bingxi's beautiful eyes glimmered with excitement.

Xiao Ye reached out and pushed Nangong Siyao's little head away as she snuggled up, replying, "No problem. Brother Cheng wants Cheng Yi to completely start fresh, anyway."

"Why do you have some other woman's scent on you?" Nangong Siyao asked in a sweet but fierce tone,

"Xiao Ye, be honest!"

"Did you sneak off to mess around with some girls while we weren't looking!?"

Nangong Siyao hugged Cheng Bingxi with reddened eyes, saying, "This guy definitely has another woman's scent on him."

"It smells great, kinda like our ancestor Yun Bing's scent."

"But there's also a milky fragrance and something I can't even describe."

"!" Cheng Bingxi's eyes widened, exclaiming, "Xiao Ye, you didn't mess around with Vice Dean Yun Bing, did you?"

Nangong Siyao nodded her little head, saying, "Yeah, it's gotta be!"

Xiao Ye's face was full of dark lines.

At this moment, his hands indeed still carried a smell he couldn't wash off.

*It was probably because Sister Yun Bing was in the Venerable Realm—even her scent had leveled up, once it got on you, it was almost impossible to remove.*

Xiao Ye had no choice but to be honest and replied helplessly, "You guys know how hot-tempered Sister Yun Bing is. Honestly, it's because she has a physical flaw making her template unstable. I just helped her stabilize it, that's all!"

"Oh, oh!" Cheng Bingxi nodded right away. She would believe anything Xiao Ye said. The most up-to-date version is on M(VLEMPY)R.

But fruit girl Nangong Siyao looked at Xiao Ye suspiciously, running her eyes up and down his body, especially lingering at his lower half.

Xiao Ye suddenly felt a chill down below, feeling uneasy as he said, "What's up, Si Yao? You don't believe me?"

Fruit girl Nangong Siyao shook her head, then nodded, saying,

"I'm half and half!"

"I know for a fact, Ancestor Yun Bing has been single for a thousand years and she really rejects men. Normally if a man even touches her, she'll beat him up, let alone give her a massage!"

"Plus there's that, like, indescribable scent on you!"

Xiao Ye's mouth twitched, "So what are you trying to say?"

Nangong Siyao pounced on him, personally searching him while saying, "So I'm suspicious you and Yun Bing fooled around!"

A draft of cold air swept over, and Xiao Ye shivered.

Nangong Siyao was inspecting him, nose right up close as she sniffed, muttering in confusion, "Weird, there's no strange smell."

After checking him over, Xiao Ye replied helplessly, "I told you, I just gave her a massage. Happy now?"

Nangong Siyao broke into a smile and pecked Xiao Ye on the cheek, saying, "I believe you!"

The commotion ended, and Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi went off to shower, while Xiao Ye lounged on the sofa, checking out the Xuanhuang Gem in his system space.

[Rule-level Exotic Treasure: Xuanhuang Gem]

[Effect: Can absorb, purify, and stabilize chaotic rules, Dao Rhythm, and energy.]

Next to the Xuanhuang Gem, there were three energy balls.

A golden energy ball, a yellow energy ball, and a blue energy ball.

These three energy balls were the Dao Rhythm energy absorbed by the Xuanhuang Gem.

The golden energy ball was the overloaded energy he and Nangong Siyao had absorbed together.

The yellow energy ball was Dao Rhythm energy absorbed from the Vajra Venerable Cheng Gang.

The blue energy ball was Dao Rhythm energy absorbed from the Kunpeng Venerable Yun Bing.

As Xiao Ye was examining these three balls, the Xuanhuang Gem sent out a message.

[Dao Rhythm Energy Ball: Purified, concentrated Dao Rhythm energy, can be directly absorbed and transformed.]

Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow, stars glimmering in his eyes with delight.

*So it turned out the Xuanhuang Gem had already refined the Dao Rhythm energy it absorbed!*

*Pure Dao Rhythm energy—now, that's good stuff!*

*Compared to Crystal Cores that had to be refined to get rid of impurities, this was already purified energy, ready to use.*

*Well, Xiao Ye knew what energy was.*

*But what exactly was Dao Rhythm energy?*

*So if a template's rules were unstable, Dao Rhythm would leak out…but what even was Dao Rhythm?*

*His own realm was Grandmaster, Seven-Star. He could wield the Power of Realm now, that mysterious Force.*

*Maybe Dao Rhythm was something only beyond the Great Grandmaster Realm, or only for Venerables to wield.*

*But that was just Xiao Ye's guess. He might not be right.*

*So, Xiao Ye decided he'd ask the Kunpeng Venerable, Sister Yun Bing, tomorrow—could Dao Rhythm be directly absorbed? And maybe also ask if she needed another massage.*

Suddenly, Xiao Ye remembered something else.

*He had the Divine-level Beastmaster System and could contract unlimited templates, so he must be able to form a contract with the Kunpeng Venerable Yun Bing.*

*Anyone else who tried to form a contract with Yun Bing would end up dead from leaking her unstable rule Dao Rhythm.*

*But with his Xuanhuang Gem, which could absorb and purify rule Dao Rhythm, maybe he could safely form a contract with Yun Bing.*

*If he actually formed a contract with Yun Bing, wouldn't she be his wife then?*

"Holy shit!"

Xiao Ye jumped at his own thought.

*Yun Bing was the Kunpeng Venerable, a top-tier powerhouse, and also the deputy dean of Kunpeng Combat Academy—how could she possibly contract with a mere college freshman like him?*

On the other side, third floor bathroom, Vice Dean's villa.

Yun Bing was soaking in a clear bathtub, her face tinted red.

*Remembering a certain scene, her heart beat faster and faster.*

Yunxi stood by her side, looking calm as she said, "What's up? Thinking about a man?"

Yun Bing replied instinctively, "Yeah."
