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

Xiao Ye pretty much ran away, like he was escaping for his life.

*He couldn't help but curse a little inside; Liu Ya seemed to have been holding back her complaints for a long time, and now she let them all out in one go.*

He really couldn't handle it.

For a whole week, Liu Ya didn't waste even a single second—she was wild the entire time.

He knew he had to come up with a new plan.

Last time, when all the Beast Girls were cultivating, he hadn't stayed in the Space-Time Hall the whole time, but even left Blue Star for half a day.

Half a day on Blue Star equaled hundreds of thousands of years in the Space-Time Hall.

All those Beast Girls had been cultivating alone for all those years, with nobody keeping them company.

But this time, Xiao Ye decided not to leave Blue Star anymore.

He'd just stay and accompany all the Beast Girls.

From start to finish, one cycle per year, and every year he had to spend time with each Beast Girl.

After he left the Endless Cave, Xiao Ye sensed the aura of the hot mom, Nangong Siyao.

He was a bit surprised; Nangong Siyao was actually so close to Liu Ya, not even a hundred thousand meters away.

On the endless swampy ground, fog curled like smoke around them.

Nangong Siyao stomped her foot angrily and scolded herself,

"Ugh, I got lost again!"

"This swamp is huge, I can't even figure out where I came in."

"Which part of the swamp am I even in right now?"

She floated in mid-air, pulled a coin from her pocket, and flipped it; the coin spun through the air, landing in her white, delicate palm.

Nangong Siyao squinted at it, and said excitedly,

"Tails!"

"That means I'm in the southern part of the Endless Swamp, almost at the center!"

"Hehe, I'm such a little genius! Even here, I can find the center of the swamp!"

Her disappointment instantly vanished as she shot off toward the direction ahead, buzzing with excitement.

At Sovereign Realm speed, she could go faster than the speed of light every second.

Half an hour later, Nangong Siyao really did reach the edge of the central region of the Endless Swamp.

She was beyond happy, charging right into the thick fog, flying toward the heart of the Endless Swamp.

But the center of the Endless Swamp stretched nearly twenty light-years in length.

Half an hour later, Nangong Siyao's face turned dark.

"Damn it!"

"I'm lost again!"

"Good thing I have my lucky coin."

She flipped the coin again, and this time, it landed standing upright.

Nangong Siyao just stood there, dumbfounded.

"Eh?"

"What does it mean when it stands up? Which way should I go—upward?"

"The Supreme Attribute's Star River Realm origin—is it in the sky?"

*Nangong Siyao was super frustrated.*

This coin had been given to her by Xiao Ye, who said if she got lost, she just needed to flip it once.

The coin would point her to the right direction.

But she clearly felt the Supreme Attribute's origin body was in the Endless Swamp, definitely not in the sky.

Just then, a magnetic male voice echoed in Nangong Siyao's ear,

"Siyao, have you considered that maybe the coin wants you to dig down instead of flying up?"

Nangong Siyao blurted out in delight, "Oh, right, I should dig underground! The origin body could totally be buried down there."

"Thank you!"

She didn't forget to say thanks.

But as her brain caught up, Nangong Siyao paused, turning her head for a look.

A stunningly handsome young man appeared before her eyes.

Xiao Ye smiled faintly, and said,

"Siyao, did you get your brain squished in a door or something?"

"You're already in the Sovereign Realm and you're still making rookie mistakes like this."

Nangong Siyao launched herself into Xiao Ye's arms, her small hands smacking him playfully as she whined,

"Aiya, I've always been kind of a dummy, so the fact I haven't managed to lose myself for good is already impressive."

"Xiao Ye, stop picking on me."

Xiao Ye's mouth twitched, "So, what you're saying is, I should feel grateful that you haven't gotten yourself lost."

Nangong Siyao stepped back, put her hands on her hips, and said smugly,

"Of course!"

"I come home myself when it rains, if I'm hungry I make myself something to eat, and even when I have a need I just tough it out on my own."

"Seriously, Xiao Ye, where are you going to find another girl as awesome as me? You'd better treasure me!"

*Xiao Ye's mouth twitched again.*

He waved a hand, "Alright, alright, as expected of you, Nangong Siyao."

"A little princess spoiled by your father-in-law and mother-in-law when you were a kid."

Nangong Siyao puffed up her chest, glaring, "Xiao Ye! Watch what you say."

"What's little about me? I'm totally loaded in all the right ways, OK!"

"Be nice!"

Xiao Ye covered his face with his palm.

*Thank goodness Nangong Siyao married him. If she'd married someone else, there's no telling how much she'd be disliked.*

*But Xiao Ye never complained about his own Beast Girls. He smiled,

"Mm-hmm, you're huge—you're a big girl, satisfied now?"

Nangong Siyao nodded, "That's more like it."

Xiao Ye pointed at the coin, and said,

"I loaded the coin with a few Space-Time Hall features—it'll point you in the right direction."

"Make good use of it. I'm heading out."

Nangong Siyao's eyes widened, and she grabbed Xiao Ye, saying coldly,

"Don't go!"

"You're already here, just help me find the origin body. Trying to find stuff is too hard for me, I seriously can't do it."

Xiao Ye used the Space-Time Hall privileges.

He summoned the Supreme Attribute's Star River Realm origin body and woke it up.

There was a thunderous boom.

A massive, narrow origin force blasted out from the earth, floating up into the sky.

It stretched hundreds of light-years, spanning the entire Endless Swamp.

Xiao Ye smiled,

"If you use the coin the right way, you'll definitely find the origin body."

"But you still haven't overcome your difficulties or found anything yourself."

"Siyao, you need to grow up!"

*He could tell Nangong Siyao relied on him way too much.*

*He had to work on getting Nangong Siyao to be more independent, little by little.*

*She didn't need to become some super independent modern woman, but she needed the basics for survival.*

*She couldn't just depend on him and Cheng Bingxi for everything.*

*Nangong Siyao stared at his serious expression and drifted off into thought.*

After thinking for a while, Nangong Siyao nodded, saying,

"I'll do my best to grow up!"

"Xiao Ye, how about you put the origin body back underground? I'll totally be able to find it myself this time."

Xiao Ye waved a hand, "You already know where it is—there's no point searching any further."

"Go ahead and start cultivating; I'll stick around with you for a week."

Nangong Siyao shook her head, "Nope. I want to spend the whole week with you first, then start cultivating. Cultivation time is always there, but having you with me, that's not so common."

She reached into her storage space, pulled out a small villa, and tossed it above the swamp.

She locked it in place with a restriction array, smiling,

"Xiao Ye, come on, time to go home."

"This cozy little nest is just for you and me."

Xiao Ye let himself be pulled along into the pink-themed little villa.

The whole place was decorated in a girly style, all pink everywhere.

Nangong Siyao beamed and said,

"Xiao Ye, I learned how to cook, and even how to make tea and pour wine."

"This week, I, Nangong Siyao, am your perfect wife!"

"Just wait, I'll go cook you something right now."

Xiao Ye waited for an hour or two.

Nangong Siyao actually whipped up an entire table full of dishes. Everything looked so good—she had clearly put a lot of effort into it. The smell was amazing.

*But he still wondered how it would taste.*

Nangong Siyao picked up a vegetable leaf, fed it to him, and asked expectantly, "How is it?"

"It's edible," Xiao Ye said honestly, "but there's room for improvement."

Nangong Siyao giggled, "I'm gonna become the best cook out of all the Beast Wives!"

After dinner, she dragged Xiao Ye outside to stargaze with her.

After stargazing, they went to the bedroom—and Nangong Siyao suddenly looked at him like a starving wolf.

*Xiao Ye thought to himself,

Shit, he was still in sage mode!*
