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

The alluring older sister Yun Bing gazed at Xiao Ye with her beautiful eyes, her red lips parting as she said, "Xiao Ye, you..."

"Hold up!" Before Yun Bing could finish, Xiao Ye raised his hand to cut her off, "Sister Yun Bing, I know you want to give us a special admission slot, but we want to get in through the normal college exam."

The alluring older sister Yun Bing was momentarily stunned, asking in confusion, "Why? Either way, you're entering college. With special admission, you don't even have to compete. Our Modu Beastmaster Academy is one of the nation's top ten academies too."

Xiao Ye stood up, an aura bursting from him, and he fired off his words,

"The college entrance exam is, of course, for getting into a good academy."

"But! The three of us taking the exam isn't just about getting good grades, it's for the future of Wilderness Base City! Every year, the results of our college entrance exam decide how much advanced resources our city gets allocated from the higher-level base cities!"

"And those advanced resources can raise the combat power of so many Summoned Beasts—they could even turn the tide of a whole battle!"

Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi both chimed in, "Exactly! We're not just taking the exam for ourselves, but for Wilderness Base City too!"

"Right, Wilderness Base City has been dead last for ten years straight—we have to at least get second-to-last this time!"

The alluring older sister Yun Bing's expression froze, a hint of embarrassment on her face.

*Ugh! The rule about resource allocation depending on exam performance really did exist. She had been at Kunpeng Combat Academy for so long that she barely paid attention to outside news, and actually forgot all about this!*

*It wasn't until Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi reminded her that she finally remembered.*

*With her trying to offer special admission to the three of them, wasn't she basically dooming the future of Wilderness Base City?*

Right after, Yun Bing said with an apologetic look, "Sorry!"

"In the past, every Contractor's Summoned Beast got their own separate space to battle one Demon Beast. Scores were based on their performance,"

"But actually, this year the Void God Tower changed the rules—the exam will be by base city now. All the candidates from the same base city will be put together in one huge scenario, and you'll resist a single wave of Beast Tide. Then your individual scores will be calculated based on how you each do!"

Xiao Ye and the other two suddenly understood, so that was how it worked.

Nangong Siyao grinned, "That's perfect for us!"

Xiao Ye was in full agreement—if everyone had to band together against a Beast Tide, he was eighty percent confident that, thanks to his system tasks, they could pull it off!

The alluring older sister Yun Bing let out a sigh—she couldn't stop the three from taking the entrance exam instead of getting in by special recommendation, so she might have to find another way to convince Xiao Ye to put Modu Beastmaster Academy as his top choice!

"Alright, that's all for today's explanation, tomorrow is your exam day, and you'll only have one day to take the test!"

"The content of the exam will be: testing your Summoned Beast's level and realm, and then fighting off the Beast Tide in the Void God Tower!"

After she finished, she dismissed everyone.

The energetic girl Nangong Siyao was instantly hyped, her eyes lighting up as she locked on to Xiao Ye, grabbing him and dragging him toward the villa!

Xiao Ye's legs shook as he stood there, not wanting to move! He said, "Si Yao! Even a tough ox couldn't handle you messing around every day—just let me go for today, please!"

Nangong Siyao shook her head hard, saying, "No way!"

Cheng Bingxi saw Xiao Ye looking miserable and couldn't bear it, so she said, "Si Yao, give Xiao Ye a break just for today, alright?"

Xiao Ye pushed Nangong Siyao's hand away, still a bit traumatized, saying, "Yeah, tomorrow's the exam too. You don't want us to do badly just because we're wiped out, right?"

"If you bomb the exam, your dad's gonna hang you up and beat you!" Xiao Ye added, twisting the knife.

Nangong Siyao thought about it and it didn't seem right. Every time she exercised with Xiao Ye, her energy only got better, and when she woke up, even her skin was more radiant.

*She just couldn't figure it out! So Nangong Siyao wanted to ask the mature older sister Yun Bing about it. She'd lived for more than a thousand years—she must know something, right?*

Next thing, Nangong Siyao pulled Xiao Ye over and asked the alluring older sister Yun Bing!

"Sister Yun Bing, is it true that you have less energy after exercising?"

The alluring older sister Yun Bing just stood there stunned, saying in disbelief, "What?"

*Was this really the kind of question someone could just ask out of nowhere?*

Nangong Siyao figured Yun Bing must not have heard clearly, so she asked again.

Yun Bing's face went crimson, stammering, "Uh, it—probably, I guess?"

*Aaaah! She was losing her mind. How was she supposed to know this stuff? She'd never been through it herself!*

Nangong Siyao looked disappointed, feeling a little regretful. She didn't give up, saying, "Sister Yun Bing, are you sure? Because every time I wake up the next morning, my skin really does look more radiant!"

The alluring older sister Yun Bing was shocked—doing that could actually make your skin look better? Was it really a beauty hack?

*Who would have thought?*

*Yun Bing felt like her worldview had just been flipped and picked up a brand new life tip.*

*No wonder every night she kept getting woken up by Nangong Siyao! So this brat actually thought of it as skincare?*

Yun Bing pinched the skin on her own face. Lately she hadn't done her hydrating routine, and even using moisturizer, her face still felt dry!

Seeing Sister Yun Bing go silent, Nangong Siyao walked off looking all disappointed.

Xiao Ye finally let out a big sigh of relief, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted! *Nobody knew what he'd gone through the last half month. He just couldn't take it anymore!*

The next morning. Note from the editor: Always check MV2LEMPYR for corrections.

Before heading to the Wilderness Base City's Mangyuan University for the exam, Xiao Ye laid down a rule for Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi.

"You both have to do well—or I won't exercise with you anymore, especially you, Nangong Siyao!"

The girls weren't exactly thrilled about it, but they agreed to Xiao Ye's proposal anyway.

Cheng Bingxi was a little more chill about it, but Nangong Siyao was clearly not having it. She pouted so much, you could hang a watermelon from her lips.

*Humph! Xiao Ye, I'll make sure to ace this exam and get you to say yes willingly!* Nangong Siyao made up her mind—she'd definitely do her best.

With that, the three entered the testing site.

Mangyuan University in the Wilderness Base City was just a low-level college. The main square worked as the exam site—out of the three high schools' candidates, there were about two thousand students, so space wasn't a problem.

In a classroom at Mangyuan University, a middle-aged man in an examiner's uniform spoke respectfully to two young people,

"Young Master Yu, Miss Huo, it's usually not allowed to take the college exam at another place, but I've sorted everything. You just need to show up as students from the No. 1 High School in Wilderness Base City, and you're good to go!"

The young man, called Young Master Yu, wore a cocky look, his attitude unbearably smug,

"Hmph! If it weren't for the extra points you get for ranking first in every base city's exam, there's no way I'd come to this backward dump!"

Miss Huo, her face covered in acne, looked just as dismissive, "Yeah! We're the pride of Devil City, SS-rank Summoned Beast Contractors. The fact that we even set foot in this backwater is a huge honor for them!"

The middle-aged examiner man put on a fawning smile, "Yes, yes! You two just go grab those bonus points, don't worry about anything else. Even the Mangyuan Base City Lord has to give me face!"

"Even if he found out you're here, he wouldn't dare say a damn thing. A low-level city lord reporting you? I'll make sure it never even gets to that stage!"

"Far as I know, they've been dead last for ten years, and unless something crazy happens, this year'll be the same!"

The arrogant Young Master Yu and the acne-faced Miss Huo laughed themselves silly at that. "Pfft!" "Hahaha! That trash?"

"Hahaha! Dead last for ten years straight? I'm dying over here!"

"So with this year, that makes eleven years at the bottom. I'm here just to see it with my own eyes—pfft!"
