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

Xiao Ye furrowed his brows, looking helplessly at the extremely agitated Fate Divine Spirit.

He comforted her, explaining,

"Fate Divine Spirit, I told you, you're not a substitute, you're not anyone's replacement."

"You're the obsession form Gu Qingcheng, a completely independent being, a new Life, a brand-new Divine Spirit."

But the Fate Divine Spirit simply couldn't listen, the moment she heard the words "substitute," she practically exploded, becoming extremely emotional.

The Ancestral Empress continued along with the Fate Divine Spirit's words, saying,

"Fate, if that's how you feel, there's nothing we can do."

"According to what you said, at least right now you're valuable—until Gu Qingcheng returns from the future, you are Gu Qingcheng!"

"Human Emperor and I also treat you as Gu Qingcheng!"

The obsession form Gu Qingcheng was also Gu Qingcheng.

Upon hearing this, the Fate Divine Spirit, astonishingly, was no longer as agitated. Her expression became calm. She actively wrapped her arm around Xiao Ye's, hugging him tightly.

Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, became dangerously captivating, staring intently at Xiao Ye. Her cherry lips moved for a moment, then she said,

"Human Emperor, during the time Gu Qingcheng hasn't returned, I am Gu Qingcheng, I am your wife."

"Since I am your wife, then we should do the things that couples are supposed to do together."

"Let's go on a date!"

Xiao Ye, "?"

He was surprised.

The Fate Divine Spirit's reaction was strange. She had just said she refused to be a substitute, and now she wanted to go on a date with him.

*What was going on?*

*Shouldn't she have just kicked him away?*

But, since the Fate Divine Spirit was really just Sister Qingcheng's obsession form with memory loss, her request made Xiao Ye soften. He chuckled and said gently,

"Alright, whatever you want."

The Fate Divine Spirit struggled inwardly for a while, then stopped struggling.

*She realized, she had already fallen for the Human Emperor.*

*Maybe it was because of the influence inside her, or maybe because of their recent contact, her mind had developed feelings for him.*

*She wouldn't ever fall for anyone else in the future, only Xiao Ye, the Human Emperor.*

*Instead of leaving now and never seeing him again, she longed to leave behind some beautiful memories in her life.*

*Maybe it would only last a day, or just a few hours.*

*But that was enough.*

The Fate Divine Spirit parted her rosy lips slightly, her voice cold and longing,

"Human Emperor, then let's do everything couples do on a date."

"I've watched the fates of many humans."

"On dates, they usually shop for things, eat hot pot, watch movies, book a hotel room, and so on."

Xiao Ye replied, "Alright, anything you want."

"The Purple Family Sacred City actually has all those places here, so should we just go on a date here?"

The Fate Divine Spirit nodded.

She let go of Xiao Ye and placed her fair, delicate, soft, boneless hand in front of him, looking at him with hope. Crisp and clear, she said,

"Hold my hand."

Xiao Ye froze for a second, then jumped in and gripped her tightly.

The hand of a Divine Spirit was very cool, like ice, not like a human hand that was always around 96 degrees Fahrenheit.

*It felt as if he was holding a soft, boneless gemstone made of the very Origin of Fate, from which an overwhelming surge of Origin Power radiated through.*

Their gazes met, and side by side, they headed toward the shopping mall.

Behind them, the Ancestral Empress pouted with dissatisfaction. *A subtle bitterness welled up inside her, and she hurried to catch up.*

"Human Emperor, the Fate Divine Spirit is clearly not in the right state, so I have to stay here and keep an eye on her."

Xiao Ye felt the cool, soft touch from his other hand and said in confusion,

"Sure, whatever, come if you want."

"But why are you holding my hand?"

"Shouldn't you be holding the Fate Divine Spirit's hand?"

On the remarkably beautiful, alluring face of the Fate Divine Spirit, a trace of suspicion appeared.

The Ancestral Empress's eyes dodged his gaze. Stammering, she said, "I—I—I'm protecting you."

"If the Fate Divine Spirit's emotions get too out of hand, if her Origin Power goes wild, I'll be holding your hand, so I can stay closer and protect you in time."

"Human Emperor, don't think too much—I'm not that kind of Divine Spirit who likes holding men's hands!"

Xiao Ye suddenly understood, "Oh, that works too."

But the Fate Divine Spirit's beautiful eyes flashed. *She saw right through the Ancestral Empress's panicked heart and her shy expression.*

*Shit, the Ancestral Empress has also fallen for the Human Emperor!*

*Big Sis Empress has fallen too?*

*This woman, who commanded the army of stars and stood at the very top of the Milky Way Galaxy, could actually fall for a man?*

The Fate Divine Spirit let out a sigh.

*She didn't mind if the Human Emperor got close to other women.*

*Even if that woman was the Ancestral Empress, she didn't mind.*

But.

*This date—it might look like a one-on-one, just her and the Human Emperor, but in reality, it was a date with two women!*

The Fate Divine Spirit laughed softly,

"Then let's all go together—let's check out the mall first, and shop for clothes."

She didn't want anything extravagant; *as long as she could make some beautiful memories with him, that was enough.*

*So she wouldn't be full of regret during the days after she left him.*

The Ancestral Empress was delighted. Her eyes curved into crescents and she grinned like a sliver moon.

Xiao Ye felt like something was off, but couldn't put his finger on exactly what. So, holding hands with two Divine Spirits, he strolled around the Purple Family Sacred City, heading toward the largest shopping mall.

Not a golden couple, but one man and two women—their figures drew the attention of many people on the street.

People rubbed their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing,

"What the fuck, am I seeing things? That guy sandwiched between two goddess-level beauties looks an awful lot like our Young Master Xiao Ye."

"I saw it too, but how's that possible? Isn't the Young Master with the Saintess?"

"Must be someone who just looks like him. The rumors say Young Master only has the Saintess, never messes with other women—no way that's really the Young Master."

None of this affected the three of them in the least.

Xiao Ye led the two stunning Divine Spirits by the hand into the mall.

A super-mall with one hundred and twenty floors.

From the first to the tenth floor, there were tons of food stalls; from the tenth to the twentieth, it was mostly entertainment…

The three of them navigated the crowd with a very specific purpose.

The stinky tofu shop.

They squeezed through the surging crowds and dove straight into the stinky tofu store.

Maybe most people didn't like stinky tofu, because compared to the packed crowds at the other stalls, this shop felt deserted. In the vast space, there were only a handful of customers.

"Human Emperor, I want stinky tofu." The Fate Divine Spirit looked up at him expectantly.

The Ancestral Empress's voice followed, "Human Emperor, me too!"

Xiao Ye led them to a seat by the window and called out,

"Boss, three tons of stinky tofu."

The fat but agile boss nodded, "Alrighty, three servings, coming right up."

"Not three servings, three tons. Tons with a T," Xiao Ye corrected him. "Just bring it all over. If we can't finish, we'll take it to go."

The fat boss was ecstatic, "Not just three tons, sir, I could get you thirty-one thousand tons!"

This was a massive customer!

A minute later, the fat boss came over carrying twenty layers of stinky tofu boxes. His tiny eyes went wide as he gasped,

"Young Master himself! It's an honor to have you here."

"Young Master, please enjoy."

"This one's on me—on the house!"

"Well, I won't hold back," Xiao Ye opened three boxes and handed them to the Fate Divine Spirit and the Ancestral Empress, smiling,

"This stinky tofu may taste a little different than the specialty in Hang City."

"Go ahead—eat up."

But the Fate Divine Spirit stared at him, mumbling, "I want you to feed me."

The Ancestral Empress smacked her lips, "Me too!"
