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

Watching the Five Elements Divine Spirit's humble and respectful attitude, Xiao Ye, Ziran, and Cheng Bingxi realized just how lofty and imposing the Space Ancestor Empress's status was.

They were all Divine Spirits, but the others were respectful to her, while she barely acknowledged them.

*So this was the Empress's level of swagger?*

The Ancestor Empress had a trace of a smile at the corner of her mouth, her eyes calm and deep like an ancient well,

"If I insist on interfering, what can you do about it?"

The words seemed like a question, but her tone was purely declarative, as if she was simply stating a fact.

The Five Elements Attribute Divine Spirit looked grim, clasped his fists, and said,

"We're all Divine Spirits, Space Ancestor, why must you make things hard for us?"

"That Destiny Rule Origin is useful to us, but to you, it'd just be a burden."

If it had been some other Divine Spirit or a human, he would've simply punched them by now, but the one in front of him was the strongest Divine Spirit, the Space Ancestor Empress.

He had no choice but to proceed cautiously.

The Thunder Attribute Divine Spirit and Phantom Spirit Divine Spirit wanted to speak, but the Ancestor Empress glanced at them.

The two Divine Spirits stammered,

"Five Elements, if the Ancestor Empress wants it, we should just let her have it."

"Even if we get the Destiny Rule Origin, there's no guarantee it'll develop sentience and join our camp."

"The time it takes to gain sentience could be tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years. If we offend the Ancestor Empress over this, it's just not worth it."

The two Divine Spirits recalled the scenes of being badly beaten by the Empress, and couldn't help but shudder all over.

The Five Elements Divine Spirit looked at the Ancestor Empress with apprehension, a bit surprised—why were there a few humans standing next to her?

That human boy, wasn't he the one protected by the woman who died using her Great Divine Power?

Suddenly, an evil plan burst into his mind.

If the Ancestor Empress truly valued this boy, perhaps he could use him to get his hands on the Destiny Rule Origin.

Xiao Ye frowned and said, "The way that Divine Spirit is looking at me makes me really uncomfortable."

Jiang Xue'an immediately shouted, "Hey, you blind-ass Five Elements Divine Spirit, quit giving us those disgusting looks, or I swear I'll kill you next time!"

The Space Ancestor Empress was stunned, *Was this Starry Sky Giant Beast always this fierce?*

She was only at Peak Realm of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and yet dared to cuss out a Five Elements Divine Spirit at Stage Three of the Emperor Realm?

The Five Elements Divine Spirit curled his lips, didn't take Jiang Xue'an's words seriously—a mere ant, not even worth his attention.

He gave Xiao Ye a deep look, clasped his fists, and said,

"Space Ancestor, since you want the Destiny Rule Origin, we'll just give it to you."

"We'll leave now."

The Thunder Attribute Divine Spirit and Phantom Spirit Attribute Divine Spirit were overjoyed.

The boss, Five Elements Divine Spirit, finally understood—just a Destiny Rule Origin, not worth offending the Space Ancestor Empress over it.

"Yeah, yeah, we're leaving right now."

"Space Ancestor, never want to see you again!"

The three Divine Spirits immediately transformed their bodies and fled at an incredible speed.

In a flash, they were hundreds of kilometers away, retreating like they were 'running for their lives' toward some distant place.

Jiang Xue'an clenched her fist, "Hmph, let you get away this time. Otherwise, I'd have killed you all myself."

Ziran's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, "Ancestor Empress, why'd you let those Divine Spirits run off? You promised Xiao Ye you'd beat them up."

Cheng Bingxi's eyes were bloodshot, "Yeah, even if we can't kill them, at least beat them up!"

The Ancestor Empress glanced at the Human Emperor Xiao Ye and saw he also looked disappointed.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she replied calmly,

"When did I say I was letting them go?"

"As long as they're still on Blue Star, still in the Milky Way, they're right under my nose. Where could they possibly go?"

"Boom!"

The Ancestor Empress raised her crystal-clear, dazzling arm, and snatched with her jade-like hand.

A distant space collapsed and was shifted to right near the crowd.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Inside the collapsed space, the Five Elements Divine Spirit, Thunder Attribute Divine Spirit, and Phantom Spirit Attribute Divine Spirit were deathly pale, spewing Rule Origin blood from their mouths.

The three Divine Spirits looked dark and gloomy, heavy-hearted.

They knew, the Space Ancestor Empress had made her move on them!

The Five Elements Divine Spirit snarled, "Space Ancestor, we were already leaving, why must you still attack us?"

"Aren't you being totally unreasonable?"

The Space Ancestor Empress slammed down with her jade-like hand.

Boom!

That part of the collapsed space was compressed into a QR code.

"Gush! Gush! Gush!"

The original bodies of the three Divine Spirits, which had been painstakingly formed, shattered instantly, turning into pure Rule Origin.

Their Divine Spirit wills floated up, glaring in rage at their bodies crushed into a QR code, teeth gnashing.

The Space Ancestor Empress oozed dominance and said coolly,

"Reason? I am reason!"

"If I don't like the look of you and beat you up, that's my reason!"

"Any objections?"

The three Divine Spirits were extremely aggrieved, so angry they almost coughed up blood.

It would take thousands of years to reform their bodies.

Unless they used their hidden trump cards or treasures, there was no way to do it in a short time!

But facing the Ancestor Empress's overwhelmingly beautiful face, the three Divine Spirit wills forced out a few words,

"Space Ancestor, whatever makes you happy."

"Never want to see you again."

"We're out."

They vanished, transferring their wills back into their Rule Origin Essences.

The Space Ancestor Empress just watched, still with a faint smile at the corner of her lips,

"At least they know what's up."

Xiao Ye, Ziran, Cheng Bingxi, and Jiang Xue'an stared dumbly at the Ancestor Empress's dazzling and dominant figure.

This, was the Ancestor Empress?

*So badass!*

Their bodies got smashed to bits, and they didn't even dare to fart a protest.

They even had to bow their heads and say, "Whatever makes you happy."

Xiao Ye couldn't help but touch his handsome face.

*The Empress was so badass, why did she even want to help him?*

*Did she have her eye on his handsome, otherworldly looks—or maybe on a certain big, thick something of his?*

*If the Empress was after the rare treasures on him, wouldn't she just take them by force?*

*This Empress made no sense at all.*

Just a moment ago, she claimed, *that she was reason itself!*

The Ancestor Empress felt the Human Emperor's intense stare, and her thin smile faltered. Her pretty face flushed, and nervously she said,

"Human Emperor, did that count as helping you out?"

"Are you satisfied?"

*Help me, this is nuts...*

*She wanted to help, but she could never actually manage it. Now she'd finally done something—maybe this would ease the Human Emperor's guard against her?*

*She, the Ancestor Empress, still wanted to become the Human Emperor's wife!*

*As for being a Protector? Not even a damn dog would do that!*

Xiao Ye said gratefully, "Thank you, Empress, for making the Five Elements Divine Spirit pay a little price."

"I really appreciate it."

"Is there any reward you want, Empress?"

The Space Ancestor Empress shook her head, "I helped you because I wanted to, not for any reward."

"You should go capture the Destiny Rule Origin now and extract Gu Qingcheng's future will, then merge it into the Destiny Origin."

Xiao Ye looked deeply at her.

*Could the Empress actually be interested in him?*

*Was it because of who he was?*

*Otherwise, why wouldn't she want any reward?*

*Nobody helps for nothing, and yet the Space Empress had no demands and just showed up to help—how could he believe that?*

Ziran urged, "Xiao Ye, hurry up and take out the Bronze Hall, and grab the Destiny Rule Origin."

"Qingcheng's soul is still breaking down, there's not much time left."

Xiao Ye nodded, and with a wave of his hand, summoned the ancient, jet-black Bronze Hall itself.

It was utterly magnificent and towering, gleaming dark gold all over, with the tower's peak piercing the Endless Void, the tower's body itself stretching out beyond the horizon.

"Capture the Destiny Rule Origin Essence!"

He gave the command deep in his heart.
