Chapter 65: Template Defect, Realm Barrier! (Please Follow)
"She and my dad were from the same era,"
"Back then, she was my dad's white moonlight. My dad pursued her, wanted to make a contract with her, but she turned him down. Later on, my dad ended up making a contract with my mom,"
"An SSS-level Spirit Illusion Cat template, Aunt Liu's talent wasn't any less than my dad's!"
"I'll tell you a secret, even now, he still has a crush on Aunt Liu!"
"It's just nobody knows why, Aunt Liu never managed to break into the Venerable Realm. It's like some massive barrier she just can't cross,"
"She was actually the most likely to become the Eleventh Venerable of the Demon City!"
Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi both looked like spectators eating melon seeds.
Xiao Ye quietly made a mental note about that barrier issue.
"It's true, that did happen, but that coward Vajra, he's been settled with a family for over a hundred years, and he still has a crush on Liu Ya? What a fucking loser," Yun Bing grumbled from the other side of space.
The Top Ten Venerable Ones of the Demon City all belonged to different generations.
The Vajra Venerable was the most recently promoted, and whether in combat power or seniority, he ranked at the bottom of the ten.
But Kunpeng Venerable Yun Bing and Kunpeng Venerable Yunxi, they had reached the Venerable level a thousand years ago. They'd worked their way up in their beast-eared girl forms, and they were ranked near the top of the ten.
Even though they could use an exotic treasure to draw on their template's power and transform into a summoned Kunpeng Spirit Beast at the Venerable Realm, that kind of treasure got used up each time. She only had one left on her now.
Speaking of Liu Ya's problem, all ten Venerable Ones in the Demon City had tried to help, but nobody could get Liu Ya promoted to the Venerable Realm.
They even begged beings above the Venerable level for help, and still no dice.
This issue had dragged on for almost a century!
Finally, those above the Venerable level and the ten of them came to one conclusion, the template itself was limiting her—either the restriction or a bug in it—and that's why Liu Ya had been stuck at the Great Venerable Ten-Star Realm.
*When it came to template flaws, Yun Bing honestly had no way to solve them. If she had, she would've fixed her own by now.*
Cheng Yi leaned in close to Xiao Ye and said, "When you visit Aunt Liu tonight, just whatever you do, don't say 'widow.' She's super sensitive about it."
Xiao Ye nodded to show he understood.
*Whether in a past life or on today's post-apocalyptic Blue Star, being a widow always brought so many rumors and so much trouble.*
*Especially the most beautiful teaching assistant, Liu Ya, who'd been a widow for a hundred years.*
Then, like he was waiting for a reward, Cheng Yi asked Xiao Ye, "Uncle Xiao, the student council reforms are on track, and I..."
Xiao Ye cut him off, patted his shoulder, "Don't worry. I'm not so uptight. Everyone's seen all of this—we're not snitching to your dad."
Cheng Yi visibly relaxed as he heard that, and then turned to Nangong Siyao,
"Aunt Nan Gong, that recording? Could you delete it?" First seen on MV4LEMP|YR.
Nangong Siyao shook her head, clearly refusing.
"Alright, then." Cheng Yi took the hint and didn't ask again, gave Xiao Ye a wave, and left.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ye brought his two drop-dead gorgeous beast-eared girls back to Villa 001 in the No. 3 Lakeside Villa District to get ready, planning to visit the most beautiful teaching assistant, Liu Ya, in the evening.
When you're visiting a teaching assistant's home, you had to bring gifts and tidy up your look.
Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi plopped on the couch, debating what gifts to prepare.
And Xiao Ye headed to the bedroom, stripped off everything, and got ready to change into some cool casual wear.
Xiao Ye was the type who looked slim dressed, but ripped with his shirt off.
What he didn't know was that, hidden in the shadows, there was a voyeur perv—Vice Dean Goddess Yun Bing—secretly following him.
"Heehee!!"
Yun Bing was over the moon. Her excited little grin could blast through concrete.
She eyed Xiao Ye up and down, especially lingering on those eight-pack abs—and his, well, little bro.
Looking pretty pleased with herself, Yun Bing's cheeks flushed as she muttered,
"Hmph, finally got a good look again,"
"Didn't think Xiao Ye was this hot. The more I look, the more I wanna see!"
Xiao Ye was totally clueless. After half a minute, he changed into some comfy casual clothes.
But when Xiao Ye started searching his old clothes for his black sachet, he realized at some point he'd lost it.
He looked bummed as hell.
This one-of-a-kind Cloud Ice Brand Sachet—whether the smell or the convenience—was just impossible not to love.
"My Cloud Ice Brand Sachet..., eh, whatever."
Then Xiao Ye took Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi—two stunning girls—along with the specialty gifts from Wilderness Base City, and hit the road.
The sexy, elegant Yun Bing lurking in the shadows got this weird look on her pretty face.
"Cloud Ice Brand Sachet?"
Her lips twitched, "What kind of weird-ass name is that!"
He'd actually named it after her—Yun Bing—daring or what? It was just nuts!
Yun Bing pulled a soft, squishy black 'sachet' out of her pocket.
That so-called 'sachet' was something she'd stolen from Xiao Ye's pocket when she was bored.
She held it to her pretty, high-bridged nose and sniffed. Her cheeks turned red as she said, "Damn, I really don't get this kid Xiao Ye—why's he like smelling my scent so much!"
She opened up the black sachet and was instantly stunned.
Wait, wasn't that the pair of 'stockings' she'd given him as a joke back then?
Talk about ridiculous!
"Xiao Ye, that pervert!" Yun Bing complained.
*But inside, for some reason, she started feeling a little happy.*
*Seeing Xiao Ye's disappointed look just now, Yun Bing wondered if maybe she should give the sachet back to him.*
*That pair of stockings still carried her Venerable body scent. It would take at least a month to wear off, and it'd already been more than half a month, so the scent was getting faint.*
So Yun Bing looked at the black stockings on her long, shapely legs.
Then, almost without thinking, she peeled them off. After a minute of handiwork, she whipped up a brand-new 'Cloud Ice Brand Authentic Black Sachet.'
She brought it up to her nose to sniff. Not gonna lie, it really did smell nice—a uniquely fresh and one-of-a-kind scent!
*Yun Bing felt so weird inside. She felt like a total pervert; who even does this kind of thing with their own...*
Yun Bing snapped, grumbling, "Shit! Xiao Ye's corrupted me! I've turned into a pervert!"
"Um! No, I'm totally not a pervert, it's Xiao Ye who's the freak!"
She wanted to find a chance to slip this 'brand-new Cloud Ice Brand Authentic Sachet' back into Xiao Ye's pocket.
*Just picturing Xiao Ye carrying her stuff everywhere made Yun Bing—she had no idea why—super giddy and happy inside.*
*The academy students had no clue what was running through the goddess Venerable dean's head, and Xiao Ye didn't know either. Right then he and two campus belles arrived at the door of Villa 10 in the No. 3 Lakeside Villa District.*
*Xiao Ye was a little surprised; he'd had no idea his own place and Assistant Liu Ya's were both in the No. 3 Lakeside Villas—and just a few hundred meters apart, too!*
"Ding-dong!"
When the doorbell sounded, the door opened, and standing there before Xiao Ye and the girls was none other than the daringly-dressed, stunning widow teaching assistant, Liu Ya.
