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

The Ancestral Empress asked in surprise,

"Reincarnation, you lost your virginity?"

"When did it happen, and who was your partner?"

Fate sneaked a glance at Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye whistled, pretending it had nothing to do with him.

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit yelped and complained,

"Empress, why are you bringing this up?"

"I don't even have a partner, who in this world could be my match?"

"It just kinda happened on my own..."

"Hmph, don't talk about it anymore, it's so embarrassing."

The Ancestral Empress's lips twitched, apparently, it was the Reincarnation Divine Spirit's own doing.

She said sincerely,

"Reincarnation, it's okay to have those urges, but you have to show restraint,"

"Lust is a blade hanging overhead,"

"It'd honestly be better if you found someone."

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit stared at Xiao Ye for a few seconds, then looked away quickly and said,

"Alright, alright, I get it."

"Empress, I'm two hundred thousand years old now, not some kid anymore."

"I get all of it!"

Xiao Ye wore an odd expression. Two hundred thousand years old?

*Emperors were all about "ten thousand years to your majesty," and here the Reincarnation Divine Spirit was two hundred thousand. Was this, like, the ultimate ancient virgin?*

*Rumor had it that the Ancestral Empress was over five hundred thousand years old.*

Fate Divine Spirit felt something odd about Reincarnation but couldn't put her finger on it.

She changed the subject and said,

"Reincarnation, your old body was like a pure water jug, only meant to hold Divine Spirit consciousness,"

"But now that jug has turned into real life."

"Can your will still leave your body and return to the Reincarnation Rule Origin Essence?"

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit shook her head, "I can't really call it willpower anymore."

"While Human Emperor was reconstructing me, my will became a soul body, totally matching the soul of this new body."

"I could experience an out-of-body soul situation, and I could still connect to and control the Reincarnation Rule Origin."

"But I can't merge into the Reincarnation Rule Origin anymore."

"If my old body got destroyed before, my will was supplied by the Reincarnation Rule Origin's energy, so I was immortal."

"Now though, my soul body has nothing to do with the Reincarnation Rule Origin."

"If I die, I'm really dead."

Fate Divine Spirit nodded without seeming too concerned, and said,

"Divine Spirits can die too,"

"Wills can be erased too,"

"Besides the Human Emperor erasing Divine Spirit wills, there're Universe-beings whose rank is higher than ours who could erase us too,"

"Time Divine Spirit, for example, could erase our wills,"

"Life and death depend on your own Realm now. Rule Origin is no longer your get-out-of-death-free card."

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit lifted her chin proudly, "Hehe, so that means I'm ahead of you, Empress."

"I can keep ascending in Realm with no cap, but you're still bound by Blue Star and limited by the Space Rule Origin."

The Ancestral Empress nodded, a bit envious,

"Yeah, you got ahead of us."

"Human Emperor, when you have time, can you reconstruct my body too?"

When Xiao Ye heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands.

After reconstructing the Reincarnation Divine Spirit's body, she wanted to marry him.

*What about the Ancestral Empress?*

*Was she thinking the same thing?*

*Right now, he just wanted to help Fate Divine Spirit get her memories back. Everything else could wait.*

*There were priorities. Getting her memory back was clearly the most important thing.*

"Fate Divine Spirit's memories aren't back yet, and reconstructing a body takes a lot out of me. I just about collapsed a minute ago,"

"Once Fate Divine Spirit's memories are restored, I'll work on reconstructing your body,"

"Empress, you've helped me a lot. Your first request, I'll definitely honor it."

He said it very seriously.

The Ancestral Empress smiled. It was like flowers blooming, dazzling and bright.

"Okay."

"It's just a bit of time, blink and it'll be over,"

"As long as the Human Emperor is willing to reconstruct my body, that alone is enough!"

In that moment, she totally felt that Xiao Ye had let his guard down with her.

*Maybe the trust wasn't super deep, but at least it was there.*

The Ancestral Empress said a bit sheepishly,

"Human Emperor, honestly, I haven't really helped you all that much,"

"Back when I tried to kill Ouyang Dingtian to save you, my body was locked down by Obsession Body Qingcheng and I couldn't move, so I couldn't save you,"

"When I merged with the will of Obsession Body Qingcheng, I didn't help you there, either,"

"Even finding the Reincarnation Divine Spirit, that was supposed to be my job, but I couldn't locate her coordinates. It was you who found where she was,"

"Thing after thing, each one was you pulling it off all on your own,"

"If we're just talking about helping, I guess the only thing I actually pulled off was helping you get the Destiny Rule Origin Essence back, and that's it."

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit's eyes widened.

*So even Empress wanted to help but didn't have the power. What should she do if she wanted to look good?*

*Even things Empress couldn't do, what was a little weakling like her supposed to do?*

Xiao Ye shook his head, "It's nothing,"

"Helping me recover the Destiny Rule Origin Essence, that one thing is enough,"

"I'll handle everything else myself."

Right now the Reincarnation Divine Spirit's Realm was only at the peak of Emperor Realm's First Stage.

If she wanted to use the Great Divine Power to restore Fate Divine Spirit's memories, she'd have to break through to Star Domain Realm.

*He still had lots to do.*

*Finding breakthrough resources was top priority!*

Fate Divine Spirit's ears perked up at the mention of Obsession Body Qingcheng, and her pretty eyes were full of curiosity.

She already knew that Obsession Body Qingcheng was her own former self.

*She was now Obsession Body Qingcheng with her memories gone.*

The Ancestral Empress began,

"Human Emperor, there's something really important, regarding Obsession Body Qingcheng, that I need to tell you,"

"I just saw her!"

Xiao Ye's pupils contracted, and his breathing sped up, "You saw her? Where is she?"

"Did she come from the future, or from the past to here?"

The Ancestral Empress shook her head, "Obsession Body Qingcheng is right here,"

"She is Fate Divine Spirit."

"While you were reconstructing Reincarnation Divine Spirit's body, she started making all sorts of indescribable noises, which triggered something deep in Fate Divine Spirit's will,"

"Fate Divine Spirit suddenly regained her memories and even grabbed this kitchen knife, wanting to run in and chop someone."

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit's face went bright red. *She got heard? Mortifying!*

Fate Divine Spirit's pretty eyes went wide. Had she just regained her memories?

*But then why didn't she remember any of it?*

Xiao Ye sucked in a sharp breath. Grabbing a kitchen knife, wanting to come stab him?

*He almost became the second "Brother Cheng"?*

The Ancestral Empress chuckled,

"Obsession Body Qingcheng grabbed the knife and wanted to chop up Reincarnation Divine Spirit,"

"She yelled at her for having no shame, shamelessly seducing someone else's husband."

Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't after him.

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit stuck out her lip in protest.

The Ancestral Empress continued,

"Obsession Body Qingcheng asked me to tell you that she missed you a lot and wanted to see you soon,"

"She said the way to help Fate Divine Spirit recover her memories is to let Reincarnation Divine Spirit break through to Star Domain Realm and use the Great Reincarnation Divine Technique to recover the memories hidden deep in her will,"

"After a strong enough shock, Obsession Body Qingcheng's memories will break through the seal deep in her will, so Fate Divine Spirit will regain her memories, but only for a while."

Xiao Ye's lips twisted wryly. *Obsession Body Qingcheng missed him a lot. He missed her too, dammit.*

The Ancestral Empress stared straight into Xiao Ye's eyes, her gaze bright and joyful,

"Human Emperor, don't sweat it,"

"I've been hoarding resources for years, and I can bring them all out now,"

"Enough for Reincarnation Divine Spirit to quickly break through to Star Domain Realm!"

"With her ascension, I can actually help with restoring Fate Divine Spirit's memories!"
