Animal-eared Girl Era: Start by Forming a Contract with an SSS-Class School Belle-Chapter 317: Qin Xixi Confesses (Please Follow)

Qin Xi’Er said honestly, "Xiao Ye didn’t hurt me or take advantage of me. He used massage to cure me of the Charming Poison."

Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief. *If Qin Xi’Er lied, he would’ve faced the interrogation of three Beast Girls.*

Qin Xi’Er had a pure heart, without all that scheming, and, in terms of character, she was just as straightforward as her father, Qin Platform.

Cheng Bingxi patted her chest, also relieved, and snorted, "Xiao Ye, Qin Xi’Er will be staying in our villa for now. You’re the only man here, so pay attention to how you act. Don’t walk around everywhere in nothing but some baggy shorts with your shirt off."

"And don’t drink any alcohol for the time being, or if you lose control and act like a total animal, you’re screwed."

Nangong Siyao nodded, looking very much in agreement.

Mu Qingxue hid behind the two girls and let out a little snort.

Xiao Ye’s face turned dark. He was speechless, "Is your impression of me really that bad? Am I just some brainless pervert ruled by my lower body?"

Cheng Bingxi thought for a moment and said, "Just about."

Xiao Ye: ...

Qin Xi’Er’s eyes widened, an expression of disbelief appearing on her pretty face. *She thought to herself, "Xiao Ye is actually that kind of person?"*

But when she recalled how Xiao Ye treated her in Jinling City’s grove, he hadn’t taken advantage of her at all.

Qin Xi’Er immediately put away that last thought. *No, Xiao Ye wasn’t that kind of guy.*

Cheng Bingxi turned to Qin Xi’Er and said, "Miss Qin, since we’re all living together under one roof for now, you need to watch out for Xiao Ye. Don’t get too close to him."

Qin Xi’Er smiled and said, "Okay."

Then, Mu Qingxue suddenly darted out from behind Cheng Bingxi, her face full of apology as she said to Qin Xi’Er, "Xi’Er, I’m sorry for making you drink the aphrodisiac. That was my fault."

She reached out and pulled out a whip, saying, "If you’re angry, you can hit me with this until you’re satisfied."

Qin Xi’Er took a step back, a little resistant. She said, "No, I drank it by myself. It wasn’t your fault."

Mu Qingxue’s pretty face lit up with joy.

"Xi’Er, I’ll do it for you." Xiao Ye picked up the whip and swung it at Mu Qingxue.

With a loud "crack!" it landed solidly on her skin drum.

Mu Qingxue let out a yelp of pain, her skin turning red.

Xiao Ye asked, "Little lady, learned your lesson yet?"

Mu Qingxue pouted and kept silent.

Qin Xi’Er had never seen anything like this before. *Since the whole thing happened because of her, she anxiously jumped in front of Mu Qingxue, spread her arms, shut her eyes, and said,*

"Xiao Ye, I was the one who wanted the aphrodisiac. It wasn’t Sister Qingxue’s fault. If you’re going to punish someone, punish me."

As she said this, her small face tensed, her beautiful eyelashes trembling.

Xiao Ye tossed the whip aside, threw it on the floor, and laughed, "I only punish those who deserve it. Why would I hit you?"

Qin Xi’Er opened her eyes, worried. "But are you going to hit Sister Qingxue again?"

Xiao Ye glanced at Mu Qingxue. Seeing her pouting with her eyes red, glaring at him, he shrugged and said, "No more."

*He added in his mind, "I’ll do it tonight instead."*

Qin Xi’Er breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax.

Cheng Bingxi thought for a moment, then said, "Qin Xi’Er, no matter what, it was all because of us that you ended up drinking the aphrodisiac and suffering for it. We’ll make it up to you."

"Do you have any wishes? We’ll help you make them come true."

Qin Xi’Er shook her head, "It wasn’t your fault. I drank the aphrodisiac on my own."

Xiao Ye slapped his forehead. *Qin Xi’Er’s worldview and personality really were top-notch. Suffering for ten years hadn’t twisted her heart or values at all. The Qin Family’s upbringing and Qin Platform’s teachings must have been excellent.*

*If it were anyone else, after being tormented by the Calamity Body for ten years, they’d have long since lost their mind, completely changed, and gone straight to the dark side.*

"Xi’Er, do you have any wishes? As your hosts, since you’re visiting, let us help you achieve one." He rephrased it.

Sure enough, Qin Xi’Er didn’t object this time. Her pretty face broke into a smile, and she looked at Xiao Ye expectantly, pinching her straight legs together, a bit shy as she said,

"Xiao Ye, I—I want to live with you forever. Is that okay?"

Xiao Ye, "Huh?"

Cheng Bingxi, "???"

Nangong Siyao, "What?"

Mu Qingxue twitched at the corners of her mouth.

Qin Xi’Er’s words carried a lot of meaning.

Wanting to keep living with a man wasn’t normal at all. It was basically confessing to Xiao Ye outright.

*I like you. Can I always be with you?*

Xiao Ye scratched his head, confirming, "Xi’Er, are you serious?"

"All the Beast Girls living here have signed a contract with me as their husband, so they always stay with me. But you haven’t."

Qin Xi’Er’s expression turned earnest, and she nodded firmly. "I’m serious!"

Cheng Bingxi and Nangong Siyao exchanged a glance, seeing anger in each other’s eyes.

Having been through it themselves, they could already see Qin Xi’Er’s feelings for Xiao Ye.

Even if nothing physical had happened yet, with Qin Xi’Er living here, who knew how long it would take before something did?

Facing Qin Xi’Er’s hopeful gaze, Xiao Ye nodded and said, "You’ll be studying at Kunpeng Academy for the next four years, so you can keep living here. There are plenty of guest rooms on the second floor. Just pick whichever one you like and move in."

Qin Xi’Er’s face lit up with joy. She bounced around, happily exclaiming, "Oh yeah! Thank you, Xiao Ye."

Cheng Bingxi and Nangong Siyao kept straight faces.

*But since granting her wish had already been promised in front of everyone, there was no way to back out now.*

*Still, letting Qin Xi’Er move in for good was basically inviting the wolf into the house.*

Mu Qingxue had seen it all along—Qin Xi’Er’s feelings for Xiao Ye weren’t normal. Since she felt guilty toward Qin Xi’Er, she didn’t mind her moving in that much.

"Sister Bingxi, come with me. I have a plan to discuss." Nangong Siyao pulled Cheng Bingxi into the Underground Cultivation Room.

Once inside the Underground Cultivation Room,

Nangong Siyao said, "We can’t let Xiao Ye contract with any more new Beast Girls. There’s no way he has enough energy to take care of this many girls. Even if it’s one a day, by the time the rotation’s over, we have to wait five days!"

Cheng Bingxi tilted her head, "Why not just do two at once? Or three?"

Nangong Siyao stomped her foot in frustration, "Yeah, three at a time is doable. But we can’t let Xiao Ye just keep contracting more and more Beast Girls forever, can we?"

"If he gets one per week, a few years down the road, he’ll have it better than an emperor. The harem will be as big as a palace!"

"By then, we old Beast Girls might as well get tossed aside into cold storage."

Cheng Bingxi thought that made sense and said, "So what do you suggest? Qin Xi’Er likes Xiao Ye, and there’s nothing we can do to change that."

Nangong Siyao smiled, "Who says we can’t change it?"

"She likes Xiao Ye because she’s drawn to all his good qualities and thinks the world of him. We just have to change how she sees him."

"Think about it. Once she knows—and believes deep down—that Xiao Ye is a total perv, a real scoundrel, a selfish jerk who only cares about himself, and a show-off punk..."

"Will she still like Xiao Ye?" freёnovelkiss.com

Cheng Bingxi’s eyes lit up, and she answered with certainty, "No way!"
