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

Mu Qingxue blinked, "Do you guys finally believe in our relationship now?"

Mu Cheng quickly said, "We believe you, we believe you!"

Song Xi'Er also said she believed.

Mu Qingxue and Xiao Ye both let out a sigh of relief.

Then, Mu Cheng and Song Xi'Er looked at Xiao Ye intently, examining him closely.

Xiao Ye flashed a big white smile and said, "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law,"

"I'm a freshman at Kunpeng Academy in Modu Academy, my name's Xiao Ye. I was born in the Sunshine Welfare Institute of Wilderness Base City, and I'm an SSS-level Talent Beastmaster."

Mu Cheng frowned and said, "Don't call me father-in-law just yet, I acknowledge your relationship with Xue'Er, but that doesn't mean you can enter the Mu Family!"

"Not just anyone can become the Mu Family's son-in-law!"

"You have to pass our test first."

Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow, "What kind of test?"

Mu Cheng walked over to Xiao Ye, placed his hand on his shoulder, and probed his aura.

*Bone age, eighteen! Rule Realm Three-Star! His aura was stable and his foundation solid, not the least bit shaky.*

"Uh, what the hell!" Mu Cheng was shocked.

*An eighteen-year-old at Rule Realm Three-Star, this guy was a total freak!*

The Ye Family's young man was now twenty, Rule Realm One-Star, and that was only after channeling the whole family's strength. He was the strongest prodigy among the younger generation in the Imperial Capital, but in front of this Xiao Ye, it was like a kid compared to a master.

Mu Cheng returned to the main seat, frowning in deep thought.

Xiao Ye asked again, "Uncle, no matter what the test is, I'll take it. Just say it, I can handle it!"

Mu Cheng replied, "Tomorrow the Ye Family Young Master is coming to propose marriage, I'll arrange an event for you two to duke it out, human form battle only. If you win, you pass the test."

"With your Rule Realm Three-Star, against the Ye Family Young Master, who's also an SSS-level Talent Beastmaster but only Rule Realm One-Star, you'll totally crush him." Toreporterrors,pleasevisit

Mu Qingxue and Song Xi'Er were both stunned when they heard this.

*He had actually reached Rule Realm Three-Star!*

*A few days ago he joined the Holy Spirit Secret Realm and was just at Grandmaster Realm, and now it had only been a few days!*

Mu Qingxue bit her lower lip, feeling a heavy blow. *Before, as the number one prodigy in Shanghai Base City, she was undefeated in her generation, but now, she'd been surpassed by a guy even younger than her, and she couldn't catch up!*

*Her realm was so easily detected. Xiao Ye once again realized the terror of a Supreme.*

"Uncle, I'll beat the Ye Family Young Master and ace this test."

Mu Cheng smiled and said, "Mm, whether the City Lord's Mansion can successfully break the marriage agreement tomorrow all depends on you."

"If you defeat the Ye Family Young Master, you'll be the number one among the young generation in Dragon Country!"

"At that time, all the glory will be yours, a credit to your ancestors!"

*Xiao Ye wasn't interested in being the number one among Dragon Country's young generation or whatever. He only cared about the system's task rewards.*

*From what Mu Cheng said, if he beat the Ye Family Young Master tomorrow, the engagement could be called off, and after that, the system task would complete—and he could claim the Rule-level Treasure Soul Capturing Pearl.*

After the test talk was over, Song Xi'Er brought up a matter very much on her mind.

"Xiao Ye, the first time you came to the City Lord's Mansion, I remember you came with a Contractor girl. Have you already made contracts with other Beast Girls?"

"Yeah, I already have a Contractor—and not just one, I have three!" Xiao Ye didn't bother to hide it; something this easy would just be found out anyway.

Three?

Mu Cheng and Song Xi'Er's pupils shrank, and they exclaimed, "Nowadays, a Beastmaster can only contract one Beast Girl in the Beast Girl era. You can contract three?"

Xiao Ye nodded.

Mu Qingxue interjected, "He can contract multiple Beast Girls, three is fine, four is fine too."

"I'm planning on being his fourth Beast Girl!" Whether she meant it or not, only she herself knew.

Mu Cheng's face darkened, "No way, my daughter will not become someone's number four."

Mu Qingxue interrupted forcefully, "Enough, stop talking, as long as I'm willing, that's all that matters!"

Mu Cheng was at a loss for words.

He wanted to say more, but just then the steward rushed over and whispered something in his ear, which made his face instantly change!

"Hmph! Those Hong bastards, how dare they even cut off our City Lord's Mansion's deals!"

Song Xi'Er asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing there were no outsiders, Mu Cheng said, "The Hong Family has unilaterally announced the suspension of all Conception Crystal Stone and Crystal Essence sales, including our City Lord's Mansion orders."

"The Hong Family is the biggest producer and seller of Conception Crystal Stones in Shanghai Base City."

"Now that the Hong Family has stopped selling, a lot of group-affiliated businesses in Shanghai are panicking; they're all coming to the City Lord's Mansion for help."

Song Xi'Er's face turned grim, "Yesterday you had all the lower base cities cancel the Hong Family Martial Arts Hall's license—now they're doing this just to spite us?"

Mu Cheng nodded, "Exactly. The Hong Family wants to use the Conception Crystal Stone market to threaten the City Lord's Mansion, to force me into reopening their martial arts schools all over the country!"

Mu Qingxue clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth, "The Hong Family is damn awful—last time they framed me, now they're blatantly threatening the City Lord's Mansion—damn them!"

Xiao Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

*They still didn't know the Elf Race the Hong Family was raising had already been completely cleaned out!*

*Yeah, that guy was him, Xiao Ye!*

*There were probably some Conception Crystal Stones and Essence left in the Hong Family warehouse, but without the Elf Race, they for sure wouldn't want to sell any more. They'd stash it away for themselves.*

Mu Cheng, Mu Qingxue, and Song Xi'Er all stared over at him. Mu Qingxue frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

*Was he really happy to see the City Lord's Mansion being threatened?*

*Laughing at a time like this was really inappropriate. Xiao Ye cut his smile short and quickly explained, "Maybe the Hong Family stopped selling Conception Crystal Stones and Essence for another reason."

Mu Cheng grinned and said, "Xiao Ye, you're a genius, but at the end of the day, you're just a student. Do you really know the Hong Family's secrets?"

Xiao Ye told it how it was, "Last time the Hong Family used Xue'Er as a tool just to set me up, to try to get rid of me."

"That's when Yunxi blew up and went after the Hong Family Supreme, and captured all of the Hong Family's Elf Race. Without them, the underground Crystal Ore collapsed completely. The Hong Family lost their source for Conception Crystal Stones, so of course they had to stop selling!"

"!" Mu Cheng was left dumbfounded; there was even such a big secret involved.

*The City Lord's Mansion's spies hadn't noticed a thing!*

Song Xi'Er was also shocked, but amidst her surprise, she shot Xiao Ye a meaningful look.

*This brat's relationship with Kunpeng Supreme really wasn't simple!*

*Kunpeng Supreme was the number one Supreme in Shanghai Base City, peerless in combat, unbeatable among her generation, yet now she protected a student this way!*

Xiao Ye said, "The Hong Family stopped selling Conception Crystal Stones because they really had no other choice."

Mu Cheng frowned, "Now that the Hong Family can't supply any Conception Crystal Stones, the Shanghai Base City crystal market is going to crash—that's tough."

Mu Qingxue spoke up, "Xiao Ye, can you maybe ask Kunpeng Supreme to take over the Conception Crystal Stone business in Shanghai Base City, or maybe produce some for the City Lord's Mansion...?"

Mu Cheng cut Mu Qingxue off, shaking his head at her.

"I'll personally make the request to Kunpeng Supreme, this isn't something you kids need to worry about,"

*Xiao Ye almost burst out laughing. He had only pushed Yunxi out as a scapegoat—actually, the Elf Race had all been sent to the Holy Spirit Secret Realm to pay him thirty percent of their resources every month, and Yunxi didn't have anything to do with it at all!*

*If you try to ask Kunpeng Supreme, wouldn't she come asking him for it in the end!*
