Chapter 3, Forming the Contract, Concept-Type Talent Skills
The phenomena in the sky, the Awakening Platform's test report, all left the whole place in shock.
Whether it was the principal, the head of the grade, or the students, everyone was stunned.
On this day, violet light swept across a hundred thousand miles from the east, casting the shadows of countless Divine Beasts.
On this day, the world played a symphony for Xiao Ye, and even the rules bloomed just for him.
On this day, Xiao Ye awakened the SSS-level Beastmaster Talent, building a skyscraper on flat ground, marking the start of a legend.
"Oh yeah!" The worry vanished from Cheng Bingxi's eyes as she jumped up and cheered with excitement.
"Old Dog—oh, I mean Director, do you think I can form a contract with Xiao Ye now?" Cheng Bingxi cheekily blinked her right eye, looking at the head of the grade who was still in a daze.
The head of the grade stood there, stunned, repeating the Awakening Platform's report under his breath, "SSS-level, it's actually SSS-level Beastmaster talent, of course, as my student—it had to be this way."
The principal zipped right over, grinning, "She can! Who says she can't? Whoever stops her, I'll break their damn legs."
Cheng Bingxi glanced at the principal's slightly chubby legs, *wondering if she should just let him break them himself.*
Hearing what the principal said, the head of the grade jolted with a cold sweat, saying, "The principal's absolutely right, whether in the past or in the future, nobody has ever, or will ever, stop you two from forming a contract. Whoever tries is a damn fool!"
*Old Dog lived up to his name, so class-conscious he took any word from the principal as law!*
The students nearby listened to the trio talking, all looking at the head of the grade with contempt.
As if feeling their disdain, the head of the grade glared at everyone and said,
"Classmates, do you think Xiao Ye should be able to form a contract with Cheng Bingxi?"
The students immediately blurted out, "Of course, SSS-level with SSS-level, they're a perfect match."
"Exactly, an old dog tried to stop them just now, I was confused too. What, did you want an S-level to partner up with Xiao Ye?"
"I always had high hopes for Xiao Ye. He was top of the class in academics, his awakened talent had to be number one too!"
"Right, I still owe Xiao Ye twelve bucks and ninety-five cents. I'll pay him back ten times that later to congratulate him."
Their attitude now was the complete opposite of before, each one acting like it was just natural.
On the other side, Xie Mengxuan stood frozen, staring at Xiao Ye coming down from the Awakening Platform, her pupils nearly shrinking to a dot, unconsciously muttering over and over,
"SSS-level Beastmaster talent? Impossible! How could the 'trash' I, Xie Mengxuan, tossed out be worth anything?"
Xie Mengxuan couldn't accept this fact, that she'd personally dumped a boyfriend with an SSS-level talent. From now on, everyone in her circle would think she was an idiot with no taste.
"No, after three years together, if I just apologize, Xiao Ye will definitely forgive me and form a contract with me!"
She had already switched back to human form by now, since the Beast-Eared Girl form used up energy, and with her current realm she could only maintain it for about half an hour.
As Xiao Ye stepped into Class One's area, he saw the round-faced Xie Mengxuan rush up and cling to his arm, saying,
"Xiao Ye, I was just messing with you before. Let's go shopping after school."
For the past three years, Xiao Ye had always forgiven her, cleaning up after all her little screw-ups, so Xie Mengxuan figured he would surely forgive her spoiled outburst this time too and get back together.
Xiao Ye pulled his arm away and stepped back, saying, "You're regretting it, but it's too late."
Xie Mengxuan forcefully lunged at him again, hugging him tight, refusing to let go, saying,
"Xiao Ye, didn't you want to sneak off into the woods with me? I'll go!"
Xiao Ye shook his head, "No, I don't want to."
Xie Mengxuan pouted, pleading, "Didn't you like the bunny girl outfit? I'll wear it for you. Wait—there's also a flight attendant, teacher, cashier, bank manager, and a student uniform!"
Xiao Ye looked at her flatly, feeling nothing inside—*he was, after all, a pure and innocent young man.*
Xie Mengxuan stomped her foot, saying, "Didn't you want to have a 'study' session at the hotel with me? I agree!"
Xiao Ye shook his head again, his tone icy, "We're done, Xie Mengxuan."
Xie Mengxuan's whole body shuddered, unable to believe he would actually say that, "You're messing with me, aren't you? You have to be joking!"
"Xie Mengxuan, let go of Xiao Ye!" A Beast-Eared Girl bounced over effortlessly and pushed Xie Mengxuan aside.
It was as if she was claiming her territory—the entire Beast-Eared Girl leaned against Xiao Ye, her voice firm,
"Xiao Ye is my boyfriend, I, Cheng Bingxi, am his Contractor!"
The petite Xie Mengxuan stood in front of the tall and willowy Beast-Eared Girl, Cheng Bingxi, looking like a stumpy little eggplant—her cute round face simply couldn't compare with Cheng Bingxi's flawless, radiant beauty.
Xie Mengxuan looked at the long-legged fox-eared Cheng Bingxi, then at her own slightly chubby short legs—*she couldn't believe she was actually starting to feel inferior inside.*
It was over, no way to win him back!
Whether it was the bunny girl uniform, or the flight attendant, teacher, cashier, bank manager, or student uniform, she just couldn't compare to Cheng Bingxi!
She was the one who'd pushed Xiao Ye away, right into the arms of that perfect, long-legged girl.
*She regretted it so much!*
"Aaaah!" Xie Mengxuan clutched her hair with both hands, feeling like she'd lost her mind—*it was as if she just handed over a winning lottery ticket worth a million bucks with her own damn hands.*
Right after that, Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi formed their contract on the spot, becoming Summoners of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.
Between them, there was now a feeling like they could truly become one.
