Chapter 12: The Fruitful Girl: I'm Willing to Offer Myself

"Knock, knock, knock!" A series of knocks echoed at the door. 

Xiao Ye opened the door slightly, peeking out to see who it was.

An exquisitely beautiful face suddenly drew close, just a centimeter away from Xiao Ye, and said, "Xiao Ye, may I come in for a chat?"

It was the fruitful girl, Nangong Siyao! She looked pleading, with her big, round eyes filled with innocent charm, and Xiao Ye could smell the fragrant scent emanating from her.

"Who is it? We're about to sleep," Cheng Bingxi came over and, seeing it was Nangong Siyao, pulled her inside.

Her large movements inadvertently highlighted her impressive physique, giving Xiao Ye quite the sight.

Terrifying, utterly terrifying.

Is it really okay for her to come over in pajamas?

Xiao Ye followed behind them.

On the sofa, Cheng Bingxi curiously asked, "Nangong Siyao, you haven't formed a contract with a Beastmaster. How will you train?"

The fruitful girl hugged Cheng Bingxi's arm, leaning against the sofa, with a hint of excitement in her eyes, though her face remained composed as she replied:

"I'll join the training solo. Even without a summoned beast, I can manage."

"Your skin is so nice, Sister Bingxi," the fruitful girl said, touching Cheng Bingxi's cheek, her excitement growing.

Cheng Bingxi felt a bit uncomfortable, as it was her first time being touched like this by another girl, so she interrupted, "Yours is nice too, just as fair."

The fruitful girl asked, "Can I come visit you often in the future?"

"Come whenever you like."

The two chatted happily, and Xiao Ye, unable to join in, asked the system in his mind:

"System, how many rule fragment crystals does it take to complete Nangong Siyao's template?"

The system remained silent.

"System, please respond."

Still no response.

"System, please?"

"System, handsome, system beauty?"

Silence continued.

Xiao Ye cursed mentally, "You lousy system, not even a bit intelligent!"

No response from the system.

"..."

Xiao Ye realized that the system operated like a machine running on specific programs!

At that moment, the rule fragment crystal began to glow, and Xiao Ye understood some information.

**[The SSS-Rank Five-Clawed Golden Dragon summoned beast has vanished from this universe. To manifest the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon template, twelve rule fragment crystals are needed, more than other SSS-Rank templates. To know how many rule fragment crystals Nangong Siyao needs to complete her template, you must first scan her body to see how much rule power her template absorbed during awakening.]**

This information came from the rule fragment crystal, reminding Xiao Ye that it had recognized him as its master!

After it recognized him, he could lend it to the fruitful girl and still retrieve it anytime.

"Don't cause a scene when I take you out later," Xiao Ye instructed the crystal as he took it out from the system space. "Quickly scan her, and don't cause any phenomena."

Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi were engrossed in their conversation, when Nangong Siyao suddenly felt an incredibly pleasant sensation enveloping her body.

Her eyes lit up, and she enjoyed sticking close to Cheng Bingxi even more.

**[SSS-Rank Five-Clawed Golden Dragon template completion: 84%. Two more rule fragment crystals needed for full manifestation.]**

This message appeared in Xiao Ye's mind.

"Two, huh? I only have one, but wait, the system issued a task."

**[Current Task: Raise the summoned beast's level to fifth rank within a week. Task reward: 100 evolution points, one rule fragment crystal]**

"System, accept the task!"

This time, the system responded immediately.

**[Task accepted successfully]**

Completing the task, along with the 100 evolution points from defeating the welcoming team captain, would give him 200 evolution points, enough to upgrade to the three-tail form!

Two rule fragment crystals would be enough to complete the fruitful girl's template!

Xiao Ye put away the rule fragment crystal and asked Nangong Siyao, "If someone could restore your SSS-Rank template, how would you repay them?"

"Huh?" The fruitful girl was momentarily dumbfounded, then realized and asked, "How do you know I'm an SSS-Rank template? Did my father tell you?"

"Just a guess! Answer my question," Xiao Ye replied, sipping his tea with a smile.

The fruitful girl's expression turned serious, her chest puffing out, making her impressive figure even more intimidating, "I would offer myself!"

"Pfft!" Xiao Ye spewed his tea, exclaiming, "Are you serious?"

"More real than gold!" Nangong Siyao nodded, then said with deep disappointment, "But who could possibly do that?"

"My father has researched extensively, and this phenomenon has never been recorded before. I'm the only case."

"I've already prepared to never form a contract."

Are you planning to die alone? Xiao Ye thought to himself.

In this era, forming a contract is akin to a marriage certificate. Are you planning to stay single forever, not forming a contract?

Nangong Siyao left, her silhouette appearing forlorn, a long shadow trailing behind.

Cheng Bingxi jumped onto Xiao Ye, saying:

"Come on, let's head to the bedroom. Such a beautiful night shouldn't be wasted."

Xiao Ye asked, "Want to transform into your beast-eared maiden form?"

Cheng Bingxi shook her head vigorously.

The next day.

4 a.m.

Xiao Ye got up early to train.

His goal was to raise his summoned beast's level to fifth rank within a week.

This was not only to complete the task but also for future happiness.

Cheng Bingxi's nightgown was nowhere to be found, as she lay sprawled like an octopus on the bed. A minute later, she was forcibly awakened, and after washing up, they began training.

Dressed in formal attire, Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi activated their contract power, summoning the two-tail form of the Sacred White Fox.

Mystical energy spread, and a phantom emerged from the ground, transitioning from illusion to reality—a living summoned beast, the two-tail form of the Sacred White Fox.

Compared to the one-tail form, the two-tail form was not just about having an extra tail.

Skill strength, body strength, and training speed all improved accordingly.

Xiao Ye and Cheng Bingxi's bodies vanished, their consciousness appearing in the Sacred White Fox's mind.

Ten second-tier cores, the training resources collected yesterday for the week.

With a second-tier core consumed, Xiao Ye felt the more substantial energy compared to first-tier cores circulating through his body.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" They quickly employed the magical beast training method.

After digesting two second-tier cores, the summoned beast reached the early second rank.

Cheng Bingxi exclaimed, "Xiao Ye, our training speed is amazing!"

"Then let's keep training, my dear Cheng Bingxi," Xiao Ye replied.

With each second-tier core consumed, two hours later, the summoned beast reached the late second rank. Xiao Ye estimated that with one more second-tier core, they'd reach the third rank.

Feeling the surging third-rank power within, Xiao Ye declared:

Nangong Siyao, once I have my eyes on you, you can't escape my grasp!

If you want to offer yourself,

That suits me just fine!
