Eternal Beast Taming Family

A series of rumbling sounds came from underground.

Chu Jingyu kept adjusting his position in mid-air, but his gaze remained fixed on the platform below.

Some of the bolder villagers gathered at the edge of the square and peered down the mountain.

This glance didn't reveal the foot of the mountain, but rather a flat, expansive platform, roughly forty or fifty meters wide, appearing on the mountainside a few dozen meters from the summit.

This platform is like a belt firmly welded to Qixia Mountain.

These are just some of the changes on the mountain. The inner side of the platform has become smooth and steep, as if it had been cut, with soil falling onto the platform.

Covered in a layer of golden light, it was as if a skillful hand had mixed and sculpted them together, and in no time a two-story building was erected.

Chu Jingyu landed in front of the first small courtyard that had been created, touched the walls with his palms, and then went into the room to inspect it.

Because space on the mountain is limited and it is not suitable for people to live on the back side of the mountain, Chu Jingyu came up with the idea of ​​building a two-story house. Otherwise, the area near the top of the mountain might not be enough for these families to live in.

The first floor has a living room and kitchen, plus two bedrooms, and the second floor has four bedrooms, for a total of six rooms, which is more than enough for a typical farmhouse.

However, for those large households that have not yet separated their property, six rooms are indeed a bit insufficient.

Chu Jingyu communicated with the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" again, and asked it to add another layer on top of the two layers.

With a Spirit-Rank Source Beast involved, the villagers have no need to worry about the strength of the room. Not to mention an earthquake, even if a high-ranking Source Beast were to attack with its full power, the walls would be able to withstand it.

With a total of 10 rooms across three floors, Chu Jingyu felt that was about right, so he nodded and instructed the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" to build eighty more rooms exactly according to the specifications of this house.

These small buildings are neatly arranged at the same distance on the platform halfway up the mountain, which would make even people with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel very comfortable.

The eighty-household buildings are more than enough for the people from Fuhe Village who have moved up the mountain, because the village chief has already roughly counted that only fifty-two households have moved up the mountain.

Many villagers who gathered at the edge of the platform to look down exclaimed in amazement, as they had never known that building a house was such a simple thing.

In their minds, the Source Beasts had always been synonymous with power, ferocity, and terror. It turns out that they were equally powerful when building houses or roads.

A house that might have taken generations of their lives to build could be built simply by the 'hand' of the Source Beast.

They were now both surprised and terrified. Were these rooms really meant for them to live in? Could a house built so hastily really be habitable?

Once all the small buildings were completed, Chu Jingyu floated to the platform on the mountaintop. He wasn't quite sure what the villagers were thinking, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't have the heart to explain.

"You can stay in those rooms for now. To avoid fighting over them, each room has a number. The village chief will have them draw numbers before assigning the rooms."

Chen Zhengchang hurriedly and excitedly agreed. Chu Jingyu had no intention of caring about how they would divide the spoils next. He took the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast," which had just finished building the zigzag mountain path between the two platforms, back home.

Then he wrote three letters and tied them to the ankle of the "White-browed Eagle," sending them to the village chiefs of the other three villages.

It was already late, and even if he had gone to the three villages, it wasn't appropriate to take them traveling at night. So, Chu Jingyu first had "White-browed Eagle" inform the village chiefs of the three villages so they could prepare a response.

Watching the "White-browed Eagle" disappear into the sunset, Chu Jingyu summoned his head butler, Zhang Heng.

"The villagers of Fuhe Village went up the mountain in a hurry and probably don't have much food. Look at the number of them, open the warehouse and send some to them."

"Yes." Having received the order, Wu Heng quickly led several servants to make the arrangements.

With the Chu family's current size, supporting a village of a few ordinary people is naturally not a problem. However, the Chu family isn't a charity; once all the villages are settled, they'll still need to find some work for them.

Otherwise, these villagers would easily develop picky appetites, which is probably not what Chu Zu wanted to see.

"Master, Young Master Fan has returned and is currently in the main hall. He sent us to inform you." A servant's voice came from outside.

Upon hearing that Chu Shengfan had returned home, Chu Jingyu's face did not show joy, but rather a slight frown and a hint of displeasure.

"Why are you back at this time?"

He rose from his seat, flicked his sleeves, and hurried toward the central hall.

Upon arriving at the main hall, the Chu family members gathered there. When they saw Chu Jingyu arrive, they all greeted him respectfully.

Looking at Chu Shengfan, whose face was somewhat pale, Chu Jingyu realized that he had been injured on his way home, and quite seriously at that. Otherwise, his "Flower Medicine Butterfly" would have healed him very easily, and he wouldn't have to be sucking on the ginseng leaf of "Ginseng Baby" now.

The children were injured, and Chu Jingyu couldn't bear to reprimand them harshly, but there were some things he had to say.

"You didn't receive any news at the town mayor's mansion. Now, the entire Heyu Town is riddled with rift passages, and who knows how many source beasts have escaped in. It's extremely dangerous. Why are you still rushing home?"

"That's why I want to go home and stay here; it's always good to have more strength."

"Good? Now it's all good. You came back covered in injuries, and now you have to spare some people to take care of you. I really don't know if you came back to contribute or to be a burden."

Hearing his grandfather say this, Chu Shengfan blushed. "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. I'll be fine tomorrow."

"What if you hadn't been injured and had died on the way? Do you think your grandfather can't protect the Chu family? Or do you think this medicinal beast with little combat ability can possibly carve through everything?"

"I didn't mean that." Seeing his grandfather getting angrier and angrier, Chu Shengfan's voice trailed off as he tried to explain.

Chu Jingyu sat at the main table, snorted, and said, "It's a good thing you advanced to the Other Rank, otherwise your grandfather would have to search the whole mountain for your corpse, and maybe when he found it, he would still have a skeleton left for me."

Seeing Chu Jingyu getting more and more carried away, Chu Qinhui also tried to persuade him, "Father, Xiao Fan is fine. He only came home because he was confident after advancing to the next level. Xiao Fan isn't the kind of impulsive person."

"Didn't I mention you? I assigned you to guard the ancestral hall, and I haven't even settled accounts with you for sneaking off like that!"

Upon hearing him mention the ancestral hall, Chu Qinhui immediately shrank back and dared not speak. Why did it seem that his father's temper and mentality had become much younger after he advanced to the Spirit Rank?

Chu Jingyu rubbed his forehead. "Never mind, I don't want to talk about you guys right now. Xiao Fan, tell me, what happened on the way back?"
