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

Xiao Ye used the Template Adjuster's scanning function,

[Template Adjuster Scanning]

[SSS-level Spirit Illusion Cat Template: Liu Ya] (Incomplete)

[Problem: Forced contract termination, resulting in lost Rule Fragment Crystal, causing incomplete template, cannot form contracts with anyone, and cannot increase in realm]

[Solution: Two Creation Rule Fragment Crystals, to repair the incomplete template and completely resolve the template issue]

The issue of Liu Ya's regression in realm was indeed temporarily solved.

Faced with the joy of the prettiest assistant tutor, Liu Ya, Xiao Ye couldn't help but reply, "Sister Assistant Tutor, this is only temporary, in half a month, your realm will regress again."

"Huh?" A look of confusion appeared on Liu Ya's mature and refined face.

Xiao Ye took out a sphere from his system space, its color faded, containing only a bit of Dao Rhythm Energy, and said, "Sister Assistant Tutor, you should be able to sense it, when I gave you a massage, infusing this kind of Dao Rhythm Energy was the only way to stabilize your template a bit, stopping your realm from regressing."

"In about half a month, the Dao Rhythm Energy in your body will be completely depleted."

Liu Ya realized and her expression turned panicked as she said, "So you're saying?"

Xiao Ye nodded, "That's right, every half a month, you need to replenish this kind of Dao Rhythm Energy! Or else your realm will keep declining."

"Besides, I only have a few of these Dao Rhythm Energy Balls."

With a thud, Liu Ya collapsed onto the chair, despair covering her stunningly beautiful face as she said, "So, in the end, I'll just get weaker step by step, and finally become a normal person with no cultivation at all?"

Liu Ya picked up the Dao Rhythm Energy Ball, took a closer look, and said awkwardly, "Dao Rhythm Energy that only Venerable Realm cultivators can use!"

The joy on her face vanished completely, replaced by thick despair.

Xiao Ye asked, "Sister Assistant Tutor, you really don't have anything like this?"

Liu Ya answered in despair, "Dao Rhythm Energy can only be found in Venerable Realm Demon Beast Crystal Cores!"

"Venerable Realm Demon Beast Crystal Cores, I'm only a Great Venerable, where would I get one?"

"..." Xiao Ye fell silent.

*He hadn't expected that the Dao Rhythm Energy Ball, refined from the Xuanhuang Gem, would be this powerful.*

*No wonder it's a law-grade Exotic Treasure, the Xuanhuang Gem, its baseline was already Venerable.*

Looking at Liu Ya slumped there in despair, Xiao Ye's sword-like brows furrowed into a "川" shape.

*What a pity, if Liu Ya was his wife, Xiao Ye would definitely find a way to restore Liu Ya's template.*

*Though Liu Ya had been a widow for a hundred years, she lived cleanly and never messed around. In this hundred years, she'd never been with a man; otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted so sensitively or had that startled response during the massage.*

*If possible, Xiao Ye wouldn't have minded at all.*

"Oh right, Xiao Ye!" Liu Ya narrowed her beautiful eyes, "You said that two Creation Rule Fragment Crystals could fix my template issue?"

The fragrance on Xiao Ye's clothes still lingered, coming from Liu Ya's body scent. He nodded, "Yeah."

Liu Ya suddenly sat up straight, took out a communication device from her chest, and started dialing numbers. After explaining her need, a series of awkward responses came from the other end.

*With every awkward sentence, the hope that had risen in Liu Ya's heart shattered again!*

"Creation Rule Fragment Crystal? Uh, sorry, teacher, I've never even heard of that!"

"Rule Fragment Crystal, and a creation-type one at that? No way, that's something only top Venerable Peak cultivators could get!"

"Sorry teacher, I really don't have such high-class Exotic Treasures, if I did, I'd definitely give them to you—sorry!"

"Uh, teacher, you should go find those big shots at Venerable Ten-Star. All us weaklings are just Great Venerable Ten-Star, and we've got nothing."

"..."

Liu Ya made over a hundred calls in total, all to her students, but not a single person could provide a Rule Fragment Crystal.

In the end, Liu Ya slumped, defeated, into the stone chair, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at the communication device, lost in thought.

Suddenly, she dialed Vajra Venerable's number,

"Hehe, Liu Ya, it's been a hundred years, and this is the first time you've called me! That's really something! So what do you need?"

Liu Ya said, pausing over every word, "Two Creation Rule Fragment Crystals."

"Uh!" Vajra Venerable's speech stalled, and he said awkwardly, "Well..., Liu Ya, it's not that I don't wanna help you, you know I just reached Venerable Realm not long ago, and as for Rule Fragment Crystals, I'm not worthy to even try for them."

"Those things can only be gotten if someone's a top-tier Venerable who has comprehended some kind of Rule Dao Rhythm, risking their neck in the chaotic currents of the world. Only then might they get one—maybe."

Liu Ya ignored this and said, "If you get me two Creation Rule Fragment Crystals, I'll be your lover! Haven't you had a crush on me all this time? Well, here's your chance."

"Holy shit, Liu Ya, you're serious?" Vajra Venerable was shocked.

Liu Ya replied, "Serious, even realer than real gold!"

Vajra Venerable went silent for a long time before saying, "No need. I've already got a family. Let's just be friends."

"But I'll use my connections to give it a try for you."

Liu Ya's previously dim beautiful eyes shone, "How long?"

This is a sample from My Virtual Library Empire. Read the rest on M-VLEMPYR.

Vajra Venerable did some quick math and said, "If we're fast, a hundred years. If slow, wait till I reach above Venerable, or Venerable Peak. Three hundred years, tops, I'll get it for you!"

Liu Ya's lips twitched, and her bright eyes dimmed again. "Thanks."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

*A hundred years, her realm would probably have dropped to zero by then.*

*She could only figure out a way to get some Venerable Realm Crystal Cores and have Xiao Ye massage her to stop her realm from regressing.*

*But as a Great Venerable, she'd have to pay a huge price just to get those Venerable Realm Demon Beast Crystal Cores!*

Suddenly, a cold, mechanical system voice sounded in Xiao Ye's ear,

[Task triggered, Make it into the top ten of the Kunpeng Combat Academy Genius Rankings]

[Reward, Two Creation Rule Fragment Crystals]

Just as Xiao Ye felt delighted, the Template Adjuster sent out a few more messages.

[Template Adjuster's third function, Able to extract Rule Fragment Crystals from demon beasts]

[Master Realm Demon Beasts, Great Grandmaster Realm Demon Beasts, At least one complete Rule Fragment Crystal can be extracted]

[Venerable Realm and Great Venerable Realm Demon Beasts, At least two complete Rule Fragment Crystals can be extracted]

[Venerable Realm Demon Beasts first sensing Dao Rhythm, At least three fragments]

[Saint Realm Demon Beasts first touching law, At least four fragments]

[There's loss during extraction, so can't get every fragment from a template out in perfect condition]

Xiao Ye sprang up from his chair, surprised, absolutely ecstatic.

*He had actually overlooked the true role of the Template Adjuster all this time.*

*The Template Adjuster was an Origin Level, top-grade Exotic Treasure!*

*Rule Fragment Crystals that only top-tier Venerables could barely acquire, he could extract easily from demon beasts, even from Master Realm beasts!*

*Two Creation Rule Fragment Crystals, he'd just need two Master Realm Demon Beasts!*
