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

Not far from the pitch-black rift that linked heaven and earth, a stunning woman with fiery red hair spotted the Time Empress—her arch-nemesis, the one she hated so much it made her teeth itch. Instantly, she froze, eyes blazing with anger as she glared daggers at the Time Empress.

"You little hussy, you got here just in time. Before I go completely berserk, I'm beating the crap out of you to vent some steam!"

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, you stole my opportunity and made me lose my place as the Holy Race's Saintess. Then you spent all these years spreading rumors about me in Holy Race territory, trashing my reputation. I'll never forgive you!"

Enemies meeting face-to-face just made the blood boil even hotter.

The Time Empress hid behind Xiao Ye, gritting her teeth and snapping coldly, "Crazy woman, opportunities are ownerless, whoever they choose is fated."

"You hunted me down and messed with my will, so I haven't advanced my Realm even a step in hundreds of thousands of years. You deserve to die."

The fiery-haired beauty roared back,

"Bullshit!"

"That opportunity was in the Holy Race Ancestral Land, from the Ancient Era—Saintess inheritance. How could it be ownerless!"

"Ha! You're the one who forcibly took in things that didn't belong to you, messed up your own body, and got what you deserved!"

Xiao Ye and the Five Elements Divine Spirit were flabbergasted.

*These two women have been at each other's throats for hundreds of thousands of years, and all these wild things happened?*

Xiao Ye spoke up,

"Hold on!"

"I've got a question. What rumors did the Time Empress spread about you?"

The fiery red-haired beauty ignored him, instead launching into a tirade,

"You little hussy, you reap what you sow! You'll never advance your Realm again, serves you right, hahaha."

"Why not just be my servant, huh? I'll take you flying."

The Time Empress snorted coldly, saying,

"Rumors?"

"Those weren't rumors, they were the truth about you!"

"You sleep around, eighty musclemen in one night could barely satisfy you. You were sneaking in and out of the Saint Heir's residence all night long, and you even got kept by your own Saint Heir. Total slut!"

The fiery-haired, gorgeous woman's eyes went wide, her face flipping between green and red, chest heaving with fury.

She sputtered,

"Nonsense!"

"I'm still pure, never even touched a man!"

"That Saint Heir is my brother!"

The Time Empress sneered, "Brother? More like your lover, huh."

"Just seeing your filthy body disgusts me!"

The Five Elements Divine Spirit asked skeptically, "Seriously? Why are you both so obsessed with this? Is there something scandalous from your past you don't want people to know about?"

Xiao Ye just pulled out two packs of sunflower seeds, tossed one to the Divine Spirit, and started munching as he said,

"Honestly, they sound like exes who broke up over love."

"Time Empress, don't tell me you also liked that Saint Heir?"

The Time Empress panicked.

*She'd just been introduced to the Human Emperor by the Grand Elder. The Human Emperor agreed to marry her.*

*She couldn't let anyone get the wrong idea now.*

The Time Empress said anxiously,

"Human Emperor, I so did not like the Saint Heir."

"Back then, this crazy woman dumped me to cozy up to the Saint Heir, so I spread those rumors about her."

"As for that opportunity, at first this lunatic suggested we team up, get it together, and split it fifty-fifty."

"But I ended up with it all to myself. Why should I split it with her? So I ran off."

Xiao Ye, ever sharp, asked hesitantly,

"So, you and this red-haired woman, you two ever, you know, get close?"

The Time Empress blushed and mumbled, "Oh, that's all ancient history. We just held hands, nothing more. Didn't even kiss."

"After this crazy woman kept going in and out of the Saint Heir's mansion night after night, I lost all interest. She's so filthy, just looking at her makes me sick."

Xiao Ye was dumbstruck.

*The Time Empress used to swing that way?*

She and that crazy woman got close?

He nodded, starting to piece things together.

*Once he sorted it all out, the summary was this:*

After the Time Empress was born, she realized that after reaching Emperor Realm Perfection, she couldn't advance on Blue Star, so she ventured into the depths of the Universe in search of a breakthrough.

She entered that crazy woman's Holy Race Star Domain, and met the crazy woman.

After they connected, they admired each other and fell in love—became close!

Then, the Time Empress noticed the crazy woman sneaking out of the Saint Heir's mansion several nights in a row, got jealous, and their relationship started to crack—conflict was born.

But the conflict was just a seed, hadn't blown up yet.

Later, during the Holy Race Saintess selection competition, the Time Empress and the crazy woman colluded, snuck into the Saintess inheritance in the Holy Race Ancestral Land, and the Time Empress ended up with the opportunity all to herself, refusing to split it.

She ran out of the Holy Race Star Domain, getting hunted by the crazy woman and the Holy Race, so she was forced to use the opportunity for a forced breakthrough to Star Domain Realm, damaging her will.

In the end, she got away, but she was pissed, so she went back to the Holy Race Star Domain to spread rumors about the crazy woman.

With her Realm stuck, the Time Empress developed grudges, and over hundreds of thousands of years, she kept butting heads and brawling with the crazy woman right up to now.

Xiao Ye asked curiously, "So, crazy woman, is that Saint Heir your lover, or your real brother?"

The fiery red-haired beauty was beyond enraged and snapped,

"None of your damn business."

"Get out of my way, or I'll beat up you too!"

The Time Empress, nervously clutching Xiao Ye's sleeve, whispered, "Later, I found out that the Saint Heir really was her biological brother, but my will was already broken. There was no going back."

"She and I are enemies for life!"

"Human Emperor, this lunatic is Sovereign Realm Tier Eight now, crazy powerful. I can't beat her."

But the fiery-haired woman's eyes were glued to the Time Empress's little hand gripping Xiao Ye's sleeve, and she said with a jealous edge,

"You little hussy, you and this man, what's your relationship?"

The way she said it was so sour, it put lemons to shame—she sounded more bitter than a bottle of vinegar!

"?" Xiao Ye's pupils shrank, instantly spotting something juicy among the crowd.

The Time Empress was only Star Domain Realm Tier Four, the crazy woman was Sovereign Realm Tier Eight, yet every time the Time Empress showed up to pick a fight, she always made it back safely.

*That meant, even if the crazy woman was mad at her, she still loved the Time Empress deep down, right?*

*Wasn't that why, every time they fought, the Time Empress always managed to make it home in one piece?*

*Now, with the red-haired woman acting so jealous, the whole logic finally came together!*

Hiss!

Xiao Ye sucked in a cold breath.

*No wonder the crazy woman called the Time Empress a little hussy, and the Time Empress just called her a crazy woman.*

*It was basically flirty bickering!*

*Damn, these two women were totally off the charts!*

But the Five Elements Divine Spirit, munching sunflower seeds, piped up impatiently,

"Seriously, are you two going to keep arguing, or are you going to throw down!"

"Quit yapping and just fight already! If you've got a deadly grudge, settle it!"

The Divine Spirit didn't have the brainpower to pick up on all this messy love-hate drama.

Their motto: Take death lightly—if you're pissed, just throw hands!

The fiery-haired stunner repeated herself again, face darkening as she asked,

"You little hussy, you and this man—what exactly is your relationship?"

The Time Empress lifted her beautiful, swan-like neck, and boasted, "He's my husband! The Time Empress's man!"

"Hahaha, crazy woman, I'm already taken. Jealous much!?"

Xiao Ye slid an arm around the Time Empress's soft, slender waist, planted a kiss on her supple, collagen-packed cheek, and said,

"Yep, she's my wife. Crazy woman, please stop bothering us. Give up on lusting after the Time Empress—she's mine!"

That was his wife—of course he had to stick up for her!

But the fiery-haired beauty bristled like a hedgehog, her gorgeous eyes pinning Xiao Ye, and she bellowed,

"A man, a real powerhouse, deserves a stunning wife!"

"Fight me! If you lose, you're not worthy of the little hussy!"
