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

"Sister Qingcheng, are you the Fate Divine Spirit right now, or are you the obsession entity, Gu Qingcheng?"

Xiao Ye asked,

The Fate Divine Spirit snorted coquettishly, "Of course I'm Gu Qingcheng."

"What, you still think I'm the Fate Divine Spirit?"

Xiao Ye's lips curled into a hint of bitterness.

*That kind of resentful wife vibe... this had to be the obsession entity Gu Qingcheng.*

*The vibe was just too strong.*

"So, are you the Sister Qingcheng who has two sets of memories?"

The Fate Divine Spirit nodded, "I had the memories of the Fate Divine Spirit, and also the memories of the obsession entity."

"Right now, I was Gu Qingcheng, not the Fate Divine Spirit."

"But, you already had a Gu Qingcheng. From now on, I'd just be the Fate Divine Spirit."

"Just call me 'Fate' from now on."

"Hubby, I missed you so much."

The Fate Divine Spirit hugged Xiao Ye tightly, longing so thick it was almost tangible.

Gu Qingcheng and the Reincarnation Divine Spirit quietly looked on from the side.

It wasn't until ten minutes later,

Gu Qingcheng stepped forward and smiled, "Old Gu, you finally came back to life."

"Neither of us ended up dead, and we both gained so much. You even got your own body, that's something to be happy about."

The Fate Divine Spirit's expression grew complicated, "Xiaogu, I didn't need to occupy your body anymore to get close to hubby."

"And I didn't have to waste your precious time with him just to swap out with you."

Xiao Ye glanced at the setting sun and smiled, "Since we've got the chance, why don't the three of us stroll through the streets awhile."

"I bet you two have a ton you want to talk about."

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit mumbled, "Human Emperor, what about me."

Xiao Ye shot her a sidelong look, "You? Do whatever you want—go back to the Space-Time Hall to train, or just handle your own stuff."

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit sighed,

"Fine, I'll just go soak in the Spiritual Spring."

"I don't fit in here in the mortal world anyway, soaking in the spring is more my speed."

*She knew her place; she and the Human Emperor hadn't been through much together.*

*Her place in his heart definitely couldn't compare to someone like Gu Qingcheng, who had held an actual wedding with him as a beast girl.*

The Reincarnation Divine Spirit left.

Xiao Ye held one Gu Qingcheng in his left hand, and the Fate Divine Spirit in his right, pacing down the street as it glowed red in the evening sun.

He looked solemn and said,

"Fate, I owed you an apology for what happened in the future."

"From now on, I wouldn't neglect you. If you needed anything, just come straight to me—I would make sure you got it."

"Sister Qingcheng, same goes for you."

The Fate Divine Spirit's pretty face lit up with a dazzling smile, "You said it yourself."

"I wanted you to pay back everything you owed me over that century, all at once."

"Once a week, every week, that's five thousand times in one hundred years."

"Other stuff aside—you have to make up for this first."

Gu Qingcheng added, "I want that too."

Xiao Ye's mouth twitched. He braced himself and said, "No problem at all."

With the Space-Time Hall around, a single day on Blue Star equaled twenty-eight thousand years in the Hall.

Now that he had advanced to the Star Domain Realm, the time differential could be tuned to 280,000 years for each day on Blue Star.

*So, the Fate Divine Spirit's demands should be within his reach.*

Laughing and chatting, the three wandered every street, every corner of Wilderness Base City.

They also overheard many townsfolk down the road calling out in excitement,

"Hahaha, that loser Tang San finally got put away."

"A scumbag who did nothing but evil—should've happened long ago, if you ask me."

"Before, we let him off the hook because the City Lord noticed him, but looking back, that was a mistake."

"Heh, trying to pass as the City Lord's son-in-law's brother—really got guts."

"Heard the City Lord's son-in-law came back and immediately busted both of Tang San's legs, tossed him straight in there."

"City Lord's son-in-law? Isn't that the kid last year at Wilderness No. 3 High, the one who awakened SSS-level beastmaster talent?"

"Yeah yeah yeah, him—the name was Xiao Ye, married the City Lord and Deputy City Lord's daughters, living the dream with all those women."

"Xiao Ye was the real rising star. I heard in Devil City, in Dragon Country, he was the number one prodigy among the younger generation..."

*They didn't know Xiao Ye at all, not even realizing the handsome young man passing right by them was the same person they'd been talking about.*

*Otherwise, they'd be absolutely floored.*

Xiao Ye led Gu Qingcheng and the Fate Divine Spirit back to the pavilion outside the City Lord's Mansion.

*After chatting all the way, the three had finally eased the pain and worries of having been separated by life and death.*

Xiao Ye smiled and said, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are still waiting for me to have dinner. You two want to come in?"

"Cheng Bingxi and Nangong Siyao are inside too."

"Oh, by the way, everyone's realm is now at Emperor Realm perfection."

But the Fate Divine Spirit clung to him tightly and said, "No way, you haven't spent enough time with me yet. You can't leave."

Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment, then summoned the golden light gate and, together with the Fate Divine Spirit and Gu Qingcheng, entered the Space-Time Hall.

In the midst of swirling dark clouds above the mansions, the Fate Divine Spirit and Gu Qingcheng picked out a villa.

Gu Qingcheng said graciously, "You two go ahead, I want to train for a bit. Perfection at Saint Realm is a little low for me."

"Let me know when you're done."

The Fate Divine Spirit's gorgeous eyes burned with passion as she shoved Xiao Ye into the bedroom.

The two of them got down to battle.

Even during the action, the Fate Divine Spirit shared several things that were about to happen.

The Fate Divine Spirit said, "Hubby, aren't you curious about who the Dean is, really?"

Xiao Ye said, "Mm, go slow—how's the Dean doing, anyway?"

The Fate Divine Spirit said, "The Dean's identity was totally shocking. The reason you traveled to Blue Star in the first place was all because of him—mm, I'll go a little gentler."

Xiao Ye said, "What? You actually knew I was a transmigrator?"

The Fate Divine Spirit said, "Of course, duh. This universe wasn't the only one—there were universes beyond universes, a whole multiverse out there. The Dean was actually the consciousness-condensed body of this universe's Cosmic Dao Origin, but why he yanked you over from another universe, not even I knew."

Xiao Ye said, "Let's take a break, battle again later."

*The Dean's background was actually that wild.*

*But with me, he always acted like a kindly old man.*

The Fate Divine Spirit said, "Yeah, right—take a break my ass. You're at Star Domain Realm, I'm only Emperor Realm, c'mon, again!"

"Hubby, right about now, the Dean should be off to Desolate Realm—he's going to release the lifeforms from Desolate Realm. Blue Star's about to be flipped upside down, you better get ready."

"And that's not all—every cosmic great race in the universe will sense the Desolate Realm aura and come after Blue Star too."

"By then, every kind of overwhelming power will have its eyes on Blue Star, and Desolate Realm creatures will be running wild."

Xiao Ye said, "If you don't want to rest, fine. I'm just worried you won't be able to handle it."

"So what should I do, then?"

The Fate Divine Spirit said, "Don't worry, I could take it."

"All you needed to do was lead us to fend off the invasions from the cosmic races and keep the Desolate Realm creatures in check."

"But for now, the problem we needed to solve first, was the domain lord power from the Beast Hunting Star Domain."

"Desolate Realm and cosmic great races come after we dealt with the Beast Hunting Star Domain's domain lord."

Xiao Ye sucked in a cold breath.

*128 hours went by.*

*During that time, they talked about a lot. Xiao Ye learned the key events that were about to happen.*

First up, the domain lord force of the Ziwei Imperial Race, which ruled the Beast Hunting Star Domain of the Milky Way, would arrive on Blue Star to seize all sorts of Rule Origin Essences and enslave the various Divine Spirits.

He needed to resist the domain lord power of Ziwei Emperor Star.

Afterward, the Desolate Realm would open, and cosmic great races—superpowers from the universe—all set their sights on Blue Star, coming in ferociously.
