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

"That expert was actually Xiao Ye!"

Gu Qingcheng said, her delicate little face full of smiles.

Xiao Ye looked dumbfounded and pointed at himself, "Me?"

"I was with you guys the whole time, when did I save your parents?"

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Ziran was stunned as well, "Could it be that your parents were locked up by the Wu Family in the Rule Realm?"

Gu Qingcheng shook her head angrily, "It wasn't the Wu Family in the Rule Realm, it was the Ouyang Imperial Race!"

"The Ouyang Imperial Race captured a bunch of special template Contractors from the Mortal Realm and locked them up for study."

"Last time when Xiao Ye suggested we get compensation from the Hidden Martial Family, Xiaonannan caught the attention of the Ouyang Imperial Race, so they let my parents go on their own and even sent over gifts. They wanted us to let bygones be bygones and not cause them trouble."

Xiao Ye and Ziran suddenly understood, "So it was the Ouyang Imperial Race!"

"That expert, turns out it was me!"

Yunxi's indifferent, pretty face became cold as ice, "My parents were probably also caught by the Ouyang Imperial Race. My parents and Xiaobing's parents disappeared at the same time."

At this moment, Jiang Xue'an said with a vicious tone, "Don't worry, Sister Yunxi, I'll find time to wipe out the Ouyang Imperial Race and rescue your parents!"

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng spoke up in their minds, "Hold on, the Rule Domain isn't as simple as you think. If you charge in trying to wipe out the Ouyang Imperial Race, Jiang Xue'an would die there too."

Gu Qingcheng was startled, "Even someone at Great Perfection Quasi-Emperor Realm wouldn't make it? Why?"

"Isn't the strongest in the Ouyang Imperial Race just at Great Perfection Quasi-Emperor Realm?"

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng's expression turned serious, "That's right, the strongest ancestor of the Ouyang Imperial Race is at Great Perfection Quasi-Emperor Realm, but the strongest in the Rule Domain aren't just at that level."

Gu Qingcheng was shocked, "Above Great Perfection Quasi-Emperor Realm is Emperor Realm. Are there Great Emperors in the Rule Domain?"

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng nodded, "Exactly. With the recovery of the Rule Origin, some Rule Origins have developed consciousness. They are born as Emperor Realm and serve as Divine Spirits of the Rule Realm."

"Those Innate Divine Spirits won't just let you change the structure of the Rule Domain."

"Hidden Martial Family is just a small clan; it's fine if it gets wiped out. But the Ouyang Imperial Race is different, it's a core force of the Rule Domain."

The Saint Realm could use Rule Power, Quasi-Emperor Realm could communicate with the rules, Emperor Realm controlled an entire rule, and that meant controlling a Rule Origin.

He who controlled a Rule Origin was Emperor Realm.

Gu Qingcheng frowned, "That's a problem, then. If we don't take out the Ouyang Imperial Race, how do we save Xiaoxi's parents?"

"Wait, didn't you say earlier that hubby and the Ancestral Empress of the Rule Realm joined forces to destroy the Ouyang Imperial Race?"

"That Ancestral Empress of the Rule Realm, is she an Innate Divine Spirit born from a Rule Origin's will?"

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng's mouth curled with bitterness, "Yep. That Ancestral Empress is an Innate Divine Spirit, born from the will of the Space Origin in the Rule Realm."

"If hubby gets involved with her, according to the timeline, he'll end up forming a contract with her. We haven't even married him yet, and you're already imagining hubby jumping into the embrace of the next Beast Girl—uh, the next Empress?"

Gu Qingcheng widened her eyes and gritted her teeth, "You can't be serious. Hubby's not even going to spare Rule Origins? He's hooking up with Rule Origins too?"

Pervert, absolute pervert!

Xiao Ye, you old Biden, it was bad enough you kept collecting pretty Beast Girls, but in the future you won't even spare Rule Origins?

What's next, will you even go for female ghosts?

*Given old Xiao Ye's twisted tastes, he just might!*

She glared at Xiao Ye fiercely, her sparkling eyes filled with resentment.

Xiao Ye, "???"

*He rubbed his nose, completely baffled. What was up with Sister Qingcheng? Why did she suddenly get angry?*

*Could it be because, after the massage, I didn't sleep with her, and she's unhappy?*

So he said, "Sister Qingcheng, please hold it in for a few more days. After the wedding and we form our contract, I'll take care of you, I promise!"

Gu Qingcheng, "..."

"Hmph, all men are pigs!"

"Your promises are crap. Even if you don't give it to me, I'll just take it myself!"

Xiao Ye's face turned dark. He got cussed out for no reason. Who could understand this pain?

Yunxi and Ziran leaned on Xiao Ye's shoulders from either side, a bit confused by the dialogue. Shouldn't they be happy now that Qingcheng's parents were back? Why did Qingcheng suddenly lose her temper?

Ziran changed the subject, "Qingcheng, your parents didn't seem very fond of Xiao Ye. Will they let you marry him?"

Gu Qingcheng looked troubled, "I have no idea."

She'd just seen her parents, and her dad had told her he didn't approve of the marriage.

Yunxi got anxious, "The day after tomorrow is a good day. I want to marry Xiao Ye then. Qingcheng, you have to find a way to convince your parents."

"Xiao Ye saved your parents. Once they know, shouldn't they be moved and agree?"

Gu Qingcheng was still unsure, "I guess they might."

Yunxi's beautiful eyes lit up, "Then let's hold the wedding the day after tomorrow. I'll send out invitations tomorrow and get everything ready."

Gu Qingcheng looked worried, but she'd made up her mind, "Then tomorrow I'll issue a notice, giving Hang City's citizens and soldiers the day off for a grand feast the day after tomorrow. The whole city will join the banquet!"

"I'll make the announcement first thing in the morning. As soon as the whole city knows, even if my parents disapprove later, there's no turning back once it's out."

Xiao Ye was dumbfounded. Was the Hang City Empress this hardcore? She was using public opinion to pressure her parents into agreeing?

Time passed. The next day.

An elderly man and woman were taking their morning stroll in the City Lord's Mansion in Hang City, when they overheard patrolling soldiers chatting excitedly.

"The Empress is getting married tomorrow, and there's a citywide holiday! Everyone gets to feast!"

"Even General Xiong, who's fighting abroad, is coming home for the wedding."

"And even the soldiers stationed out in the Demon Beast Mountain Range will be setting up tables and feasting right in the mountains!"

"There just aren't many city lords like our Empress, who love the people this much. We're so lucky to have been born in Hang City."

The two old folks were left speechless.

*What? The Empress is getting married tomorrow? Why were they, the parents, the last to know?*

The Hang City Empress was their daughter, after all.

They strolled in the City Lord's Mansion for over half an hour, running into patrol squads and cleaning crews everywhere, and all anyone talked about was the Empress's wedding feast. Love this story? Show support at MV2LEMPYR.

They finally figured it out—their daughter really was getting married tomorrow!

As for the groom, it had to be that young guy with beauties in both arms, Xiao Ye.

The old man and woman stomped back toward the Empress's private palace, still fuming, and on the way they ran into the City Lord's Mansion's steward—a chubby woman with a lumbering but surprisingly agile stride.

The fat stewardess greeted them with clasped fists and a grin, "Congratulations, sir, and congratulations, madam."

The old man replied impatiently, "So you know our daughter's getting married? Is this for real?"

The stewardess looked confused, "Of course, sir! The Empress and her bestie, Yunxi, are both marrying the same groom tomorrow. The Empress sent the notice at 1 a.m.—the whole city knows."

"It's wonderful, the Empress and Yunxi have both found happiness."

The old man and woman were stunned.

*Their daughter was marrying another woman and both of them were marrying that young guy Xiao Ye!?*

*It wasn't just one—it was two of them getting married at the same time!*
