Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Shengfan pondered for a moment, "There were no traces of wild source beasts in the town or nearby areas. It wasn't until we got closer to the mountains that source beasts started to appear one after another."

At first, I encountered some small mortal-level source beasts. Sensing my aura above the extraterrestrial level, they obediently avoided me.

The farther away from the town, the higher the rank of the source beasts that appear, and occasionally, source beasts of different ranks will appear.

If I had encountered a single, different-tier source beast, it wouldn't have been so bad; if I couldn't beat it, I could have run away. But who knew I would encounter a pack of Azure Wolves, with more than a dozen different-tier Azure Fang Wolves?

I got injured because they ganged up on me, but I didn't lose too much; I dragged two of them down with me.

As he spoke, he touched the storage jade pendant at his waist, and then the two "Azure Fang Wolves" with fatal wounds on their necks were thrown onto the floor inside the house.

Even in death, it still exudes a certain ferocious aura.

Chu Qinhui glanced at the corpse on the ground and ordered the head steward to lead the servants to take the body away and dispose of it. The fur could be used to sew clothes, the teeth could be used to make ornaments, and the bones could be ground into powder and added to certain prescriptions as medicine.

Chu Jingyu asked in a deep voice, "Where is the wolf pack?"

Chu Shengfan looked up at his grandfather and smiled weakly, "It's getting late, they've probably already moved to another place, so Grandfather doesn't need to bother them anymore."

Chu Jingyu flicked his sleeves and said, "Just say it. The Chu family was bullied by a group of wild source beasts. How can we not get revenge?"

Chu Shengfan then noticed that his grandfather seemed much younger. Seeing his resolute attitude, Chu Shengfan said helplessly:

"We encountered a pack of wolves on our way to town, near Fengyuan Mountain."

Chu Jingyu nodded without saying anything, stepped into the courtyard of the main hall, lightly touched the ground with his foot, and his figure rose directly into the sky, disappearing from the Chu family's sight.

Upon seeing this, Chu Shengfan's eyes widened immediately. Although he had just seen that his grandfather looked much younger than before, he had assumed that some miraculous medicine had been found to heal his grandfather's injuries outside the boundary.

So it turns out that my grandfather broke through to the Spirit Rank?

Then his return to his family seems really unnecessary.

Jiang Nian held the "Ginseng Baby" in her palm and came to Chu Shengfan. She whispered, "Ginseng Baby, give Xiaofan another careful check. Don't leave any hidden injuries."

Ginseng Baby is often cared for by Jiang Nian like a child. In Ginseng Baby's eyes, Jiang Nian is the second most important person after Chu Qinhui.

It climbed up Jiang Nian's palm onto Chu Shengfan's shoulder, a faint green spiritual light emanating from its body, its little head shaking restlessly.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, spread his arms wide, and leaped into Chu Qinhui's arms.

"He just needs to rest for a while now."

Hearing Chu Qinhui say this, Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Fan has now advanced to the Other Rank and can contract new Source Beasts. We have some Source Beasts at home now. Go and see if there are any you like tomorrow."

The second one must be a creature with combat capabilities.

"If you don't find one you like, don't worry. Now that your grandfather has reached the Spirit Rank, he can protect us in our home, so you can choose from many options," Chu Qinhui said from the side.

Chu Shengfan nodded. He wanted to ask about the current situation at home and the other villagers who had moved in.

Before he could say anything, Jiang Nian, not wanting him to waste any more time, forcibly ordered him to return to the courtyard to rest, and even sent two servants to monitor him.

Chu Shengfan had no choice but to return to his own courtyard to rest, knowing that this was his mother's concern.

About an hour later, Chu Jingyu returned home covered in the smell of blood.

His figure landed steadily in the courtyard, and to his left, the corpses of "Azure Fang Wolf" and "Azure Wolf" fell to the ground with a clatter.

To his right, three "Gray Fang Wolves" with animal rings around their necks lay weakly on the ground.

This time, no arrangements were needed. Steward Wu Heng quickly arranged for people to drag the corpses to the kitchen. As for the "Azure Fang Wolf" that was still alive, it was chained up by the guards and dragged to the beast pens in the backyard.

Chu Jingyu glanced around and saw that his family was still gathered in the main hall. He waved his hand.

"It's nothing, you all go and rest. I'll stay here."

As he said this, Chu Jingyu looked at Chu Shengyuan with particular focus, wondering what the little guy had gone through with Chu Zu. He seemed rather listless since returning, which was quite different from his usual lively personality.

He walked over to Xiao Yuan, rubbed his head, and asked softly, "What's wrong? What did Chu Zu say to you this afternoon? You've been so listless since you came back."

Chu Shengyuan rubbed his eyes, looked around, and then pulled his grandfather to a less crowded corner.

Chu Jingyu smiled as he looked at his grandson's mysterious behavior, and lowered his body to listen attentively.

Even so, Chu Shengyuan looked around again to make sure no one was following before whispering in Chu Jingyu's ear:

"Ancestor Chu awakened a talent for me, and he told me not to tell anyone except you."

"Talent?" Chu Jingyu was genuinely surprised this time, and he turned to Chu Shengyuan to confirm.

"Yes, just like Sister Yin Yue's talent," Chu Shengyuan replied softly in affirmation. "I only felt like this because I used up too much mental energy when I was experimenting with my talent this afternoon."

Chu Jingyu waved his hand and said to Jiang Nian and his wife, who were waiting for Chu Shengyuan, "You two go back first. Xiaoyuan will stay with me tonight."

"Alright." The couple greeted them and left the main hall, along with all the maids and servants.

The entire central hall instantly became empty.

Chu Jingyu glanced around and had the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" scout the surroundings to make sure no one was watching before continuing to ask:

"What talent did Chu Zu bestow upon you?"

"Twin Source Beasts means being able to create a copy of the Source Beast I have already contracted."

Chu Jingyu pondered for a moment, then understood the meaning behind this talent. He patted Chu Shengyuan's head and asked gently,

"Xiao Yuan, can you show your talent to Grandpa?"

Another demonstration? Chu Shengyuan couldn't help but grimace. Meeting his grandfather's expectant gaze, the words of refusal turned into "okay" on his lips.

The "Aomori Giant Python," which was sleeping soundly inside the Source Beast Space, was suddenly released into the courtyard. It opened its sleepy eyes and looked at Chu Shengyuan questioningly.

When it saw the blue rune that lit up between Chu Shengyuan's eyebrows, it closed its eyes and turned its head away from its side, as if some unspeakable scene was about to happen there.

The blue runes rapidly wove and grew, eventually forming a shape identical to the "Aomori Giant Boa" next to it.

Chu Jingyu looked at the scene before him, a slight smile playing on his lips and in his eyes. "Good, not bad. Can it unleash its skills normally?"

Chu Shengyuan shook his head. "Grandpa, I really can't do it today. This ability consumes too much mental energy. I already demonstrated it to Ancestor Chu this afternoon. I really can't do it today."

"Okay, you can put it away now."

Having confirmed that Xiao Yuan had indeed only gained a new ability, Chu Jingyu didn't let him demonstrate any further. Instead, he bent down and picked him up with one hand.

"Let's go, let's rest with Grandpa today."

The cold moonlight shone on Qixia Mountain, piercing through the mist on the mountainside and falling on the forest and the villagers' temporary dwellings.

Because the residence was built by a Spirit-rank Source Beast, the residual aura on it kept the "Floating Jellyfish" and "Rainbow Jellyfish" that roamed the mountains and forests away from this area.
