Eternal Beast Taming Family

Jiang Yan was suddenly startled. He looked up abruptly at Chu Qinhui, and from his serious expression, he realized that Chu Qinhui's words were not a joke. After a moment of silence, he whispered...

"Yan, I don't know what to do."

Chu Qinhui opened his palm, and a "Spirit Opening Book Page" gleaming with a bright light appeared in his hand.

"I can awaken your spirit, provide you with a source beast, and make you a contract master."

The Chu family recently has a caravan heading to other towns. You can join them to hone your skills. Whether you can achieve great things in the future depends on your own abilities.

Jiang Yan clenched his fists slightly, a hint of longing appearing in his eyes. "I am willing to obey Young Master's orders."

Chu Qinhui nodded slightly. He knew that no young man of this age could resist the temptation of becoming a contract master.

What he promised Jiang Yan was nothing to the Chu family now, and he didn't care whether the young man in front of him could become successful.

He did all this so that his wife wouldn't regret it again someday, just like how she had never seen her brother since marrying him.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yan appeared outside the gate of the Chu family compound.

He turned around and glanced at the Chu family mansion with a complicated expression.

He walked silently down the mountain, his mental journey extremely complex, and after two or three months, he finally achieved his goal.

If he wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, he wouldn't have needed to send purple irises so often. There were other flowers in the mountains and fields, but he specifically chose the purple iris, which had a very obvious target, just to attract Jiang Nian's attention.

He wanted to let her know that he had a nephew, and that his aunt and father had the best relationship, so he wanted to use himself as a breakthrough to stir up the last bit of pity in Jiang Nian's heart.

However, something unexpected seemed to have happened. Aunt Jiang Nian seemed to be preparing to completely break with the past, but this uncle called her over, opened her spirit, and gave her a source beast.

Regardless of the process, his goal has finally been fully achieved today.

However, he was not as happy as he had imagined; his footsteps were heavy with each step.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he laughed self-deprecatingly. Call him a sycophant or a villain if you will, he was no different from those who took advantage of his aunt years ago.

He would seize any opportunity he could. Only by becoming a Contract Master and climbing onto the powerful Chu family could he have even the slightest chance of revenge.

And then there are the villagers of Ziyuan Village. Clearly, the Jiang family is the greatest benefactor of Ziyuan Village, yet they are now being subtly ostracized.

Now everything gives them a chance to pay the price. He has already kept his debt to his aunt in his heart, and even if it costs him his life, he will be his aunt's source of strength in the Chu family.

Jiang Yan looked back at the Chu family mansion on the mountaintop, bowed deeply again, and then strode back towards Ziyuan Village.

……

Chu Shengfan looked at the three Source Stones that the young man in front of him had placed on his desk, and noticed that the young man's face seemed somewhat tired.

It was still early, and there weren't many patients. If there were, they were mostly people with internal injuries.

This was the fourth consecutive day that the boy had come, bringing either three or four Source Stones each day, as if he sent all the money he earned here.

Chu Shengfan smiled and shook his head. "You can wait until you've saved enough money and send it all at once. I'll be here for another twenty-odd days, so there's no need to rush."

The boy smiled awkwardly at Chu Shengfan, "I already felt ashamed for owing medical bills, and I thought I could pay back as much as I could when I earned some money."

The boy's gaze fell on the "Snow Shadow Cat" beside him. He noticed that the fur around the cat's wounds had grown considerably, indicating that it had been eating well recently and had plenty of energy, which was causing its fur to grow much faster.

He didn't say it, but he kept it in his heart. The doctor who treated "Snow Shadow Cat" was his true benefactor.

The boy only stayed for a moment before hurriedly leaving Wanmin Pharmacy.

There were far fewer patients coming and going today than yesterday, which made Chu Shengfan and "Wanhua Dieling" feel much more relaxed.

As night fell, Chu Shengfan, as usual, carried "Snow Shadow Cat" back to the courtyard.

Even at night, the streets are brightly lit and bustling with pedestrians, which is quite different from the town.

The longer you stay in this bustling city, the more you realize how backward and desolate that small village is.

Just as Chu Shengfan was admiring the scenery on both sides of the street and choosing which store's spiritual food to buy to take back, he suddenly felt himself bumped by a figure, and then felt as if he had something extra in his arms.

At the other end of the street, a commotion broke out as several burly men, accompanied by several canine-like source beasts, rampaged through the street.

"Make way, everyone. This is a business of the Wu family. Please step aside."

As they shouted, the guards rushed through the crowd.

Chu Shengfan didn't have time to see what was stuffed into his arms. Seeing the guards and wolfhound beasts rushing towards him, he could only turn sideways and dodge to the edge of the street.

After those people passed by, Chu Shengfan heard the whispers of those around him.

"It seems the Wu family is planning to arrest someone?"

"No way, the Wu family is too arrogant. Instead of reporting it to the authorities, they're just arresting people on the street themselves?"

"Don't they know what kind of family the Wu family is? They are a sixth-rank noble family. Even if they act so recklessly, other families of the same rank wouldn't easily provoke them over such trivial matters."

Chu Shengfan frowned upon hearing this, and secretly glanced at the object in his arms behind his sleeve.

The fruit, about the size of a palm, with a green skin and a slender stem, was dotted with white specks. Chu Shengfan quietly sensed it but found no special energy fluctuations.

Chu Shengfan turned around and glanced in the direction the group had left. He had a hunch that the people the Wu family was chasing were probably because of this fruit.

But for some reason, that mysterious figure stuffed the fruit into his arms. He didn't see the figure clearly at the time, only remembering that the person had a pair of particularly bright eyes.

Chu Shengfan scratched his head with some worry. The thing in his arms was a hot potato to him, and he didn't know where to throw it.

Chu Shengfan glanced at the road back to the courtyard, then turned and walked in another direction.

He deliberately chose to walk in secluded, quiet alleys until he could hardly see anyone around and all the courtyard gates were closed.

Chu Shengfan took out the fruit, found a corner, and was just about to put it down.

But then a young boy's voice came from the side, "This is a precious human fruit, and you actually want to throw it away without hesitation?"

Chu Shengfan turned around and saw a strange figure, shrouded in a hazy, illusory light, appearing in the distance.

His entire body was constantly changing, except for his exceptionally bright eyes, which remained stable amidst all the changes.

Furthermore, the aura emanating from him was unfathomable, and Chu Shengfan could not detect what realm he was at all.

Chu Shengfan felt a chill run down his spine; the person in front of him posed a great threat. He extended his palm and offered the fruit to the man.

"This is something you left on me; now it's being returned to its rightful owner."
