Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chasing Stars Peak.

Chasing Star Peak is also a mountain within the Thousand Spirits Academy, but this mountain, along with several of its neighboring peaks, belongs to Grand Master Luo Xuan.

Chu Shengyuan sat listlessly in the palace, his eyes gazing absently at the white cranes and bluebirds chasing each other in the high sky outside the palace.

Luo Xuan did indeed treat him the same as his personal disciples, such as giving him a separate mountain peak and building this sprawling palace complex.

The palace was very large, even somewhat empty, and there were many servants, but they were more respectful than affectionate.

It seemed that his older brother was always very busy. After visiting him a few times, Chu Shengyuan stopped wanting to bother him.

After only a few days there, Chu Shengyuan already started to miss home.

This teacher was strange; he took him on as an apprentice but didn't teach him. He just said that he was young and should do more of what he wanted to do, rather than being confined to studying in one room.

Sometimes, Chu Shengyuan would even wonder if his indulgence towards him was an attempt to ruin him. But then he would think that it wasn't worth it to provide so many resources just to ruin him.

After three days of boredom, Chu Shengyuan suddenly stood up and summoned his personal servant. "Now that I'm considered a student at the academy, shouldn't I be able to attend classes?"

The servant, who was relatively young, smiled and replied to Chu Shengyuan's question, "Of course. As a disciple of the Great Sage Master, you are welcome to attend any class taught by any teacher in our academy."

Chu Shengyuan nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, then check what classes I have this afternoon. I need to go to class this afternoon."

"Yes," the servant simply replied.

However, little did they know that this response would bring the Thousand Spirits Academy its own 'Demon Orb'.

……

After Qixia Town was completed, Chu Suyuan, the adopted daughter of the Chu family, returned to work at the clinic, still serving as its director.

However, after the three major families in the county town all submitted to the Chu family as their master, the town's clinic also welcomed several young masters and ladies who had contracted with the three families' medicinal beasts.

It would have been better if they hadn't come. Although the clinic was short-staffed, the town was full of spiritual energy, and the average person was becoming increasingly healthy, so there weren't many people who needed to come to the clinic for treatment.

It was just right for Chu Suyuan, along with the three other contracted medicinal beast servants she brought down from the Chu family, to manage the pharmacy together.

However, after the young masters and ladies from those three families arrived, their arguments and their disdain for the pharmacy became apparent.

They only showed superficial respect to Chu Suyuan, who was nominally a member of the Chu family, and in reality, they were extremely negligent in disregarding her orders.

When these young masters and ladies condescended to treat ordinary people, their disdainful attitude was so offensive that it hurt the patients' psyches. Over time, no one was willing to let these young masters and ladies treat them anymore.

They preferred to wait a little longer and let the servants from the Chu family treat their illnesses, which led to a strange situation in the clinic.

Patients were queuing up, but some doctors were idly chatting.

Although Chu Suyuan bore the Chu family name, her bloodline was not Chu family blood. This was something the young masters and ladies of the three families knew from the very first day they arrived.

Because they did not sense the suppression of superior bloodline from Chu Suyuan, their natural pride from an eighth-rank family would not make them willing to obey the orders of a mere mortal-level contract master.

While Chu Suyuan was still considering how to deal with these young masters and ladies from prominent families, another troublesome matter also came up at the same time.

A couple, dressed in patched clothes and looking very poor, appeared in the lobby of the pharmacy. Their attire was quite conspicuous in Qixia Town at that time.

After all, most residents who come to Qixia Town, as long as they have a little ambition, can get a job with a good salary.

While this average salary may not make you extremely wealthy, it's enough to buy a new outfit for every member of your family each month and ensure you have meat at every meal.

Moreover, as people have become wealthier, they generally pay more attention to appearances, and such shabby attire has not been seen in Qixia Town for a long time.

Ignoring the various stares directed at them, the couple grabbed a young servant in the clinic and loudly inquired...

Is your curator in?

The servant didn't recognize the couple, and showed no reaction to their somewhat shabby attire; he simply smiled and explained.

"If you need to see a doctor, just go to the side to get a number and queue up. Apart from our director, the other doctors in charge are also very skilled at treating all kinds of injuries and illnesses."

"What do you mean, 'see a doctor'? We're not here for medical treatment. We're your curator's parents. Do you think we have to wait in line to see her? Let her come out and see me right now."

The couple looked extremely fierce, and the servant was momentarily intimidated by their self-righteous demeanor.

However, he quickly realized that the two people in front of him seemed to be up to no good, so he frowned slightly and his attitude was no longer as friendly as before.

"Our curator is the adopted daughter of the Chu family, the main family on the mountain. How could you have such vicious parents? Do not cause trouble here. Please leave on your own, or I will call the guards."

When the servant refused to acknowledge their identities, the middle-aged woman pulled the hairpin from her hair, causing her hair to fall loose. She then sat down on the ground and began to wail.

"My God! My perfectly healthy daughter, whom I raised for sixteen years, was sent up the mountain to work as a maid for a few months. Now that she's doing well, she doesn't even recognize her own parents."

I endured so much hardship and suffering to raise her, a little girl who cost me a fortune, and look at her, she's climbed up the social ladder and become a phoenix.

They couldn't bear to see us, their parents, from such humble beginnings. How could anyone be so ungrateful? My life is so miserable.

This woman is truly remarkable. Despite crying so pitifully, she manages to speak clearly and distinctly, ensuring that those around her can understand the meaning behind her words.

The young servant was quite young and had never seen such a shameless scene before. When he saw that most of the people in the clinic were looking at him, he was stunned for a moment. He just wanted to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible, and he even wanted to grab the woman who was making a scene on the ground.

"stop."

However, just as he bent down, a clear female voice rang out, stopping him from doing so.

The servant seemed to wake from a dream, abruptly taking a step back before turning to look at the woman who had spoken. He let out a soft sigh, bowed respectfully, and greeted her, "Master Curator."

The woman wore her hair in a simple bun, and a veil covered most of her face, leaving only a pair of bright, clear eyes with distinct black and white features.

However, her graceful figure exudes a refined and elegant air.

The couple were both stunned for a moment when they saw the woman who appeared, as if they did not recognize her. Only when they saw her familiar eyes did they realize who she was.

However, faced with their daughter who possessed such a refined and elegant demeanor, the two of them suddenly felt less inclined to resort to their earlier rascal tactics, and the previously lively scene fell silent for a moment.

"I heard you were looking for me? Now that I'm here, just say what you need."

Chu Suyuan looked at the couple with unusual calmness. She would send a portion of her salary, one hundred taels of silver, to her original home every month.

This amount of money may not seem like much to them now, but for this couple, it was an amount they couldn't earn in the previous ten years or so.

They had been relatively well-behaved after receiving the money, and I had even arranged a house for them in Qixia Town. Today, they suddenly came here dressed in such rags to cause trouble.

Chu Suyuan looked at the young masters and ladies from aristocratic families, their eyes filled with mockery, and seemed to understand something.

She gently approached the woman sitting on the ground and, without any hesitation, helped her up. During this time, she leaned down and whispered something in the woman's ear.

"I don't know what conditions they offered you, but everything you enjoy now is given to you by me. If you don't want to continue living the miserable life you used to live, then stay at home obediently and enjoy your good life."

Seemingly seeing her daughter threaten her so calmly yet fiercely for the first time, the woman trembled slightly with unease.

The man also seemed to sense a sense of unfamiliarity with his increasingly changed daughter, and he said somewhat uneasily:

"Please, please act with us. Those young noblemen said that after the performance, they can help your brother awaken his spirit and make him a noble contract master."

So that's how it is. Now Chu Suyuan understands why the two dared to cause trouble here. It turns out there was a temptation that was enough for them to throw away their dignity.

But her heart also felt a slight chill. For a vague promise, she was actually going to disregard the reputation of her other half, who had become the daughter of a contract master.

In their eyes, their daughter was never as important as their son.

A "Light Healing Butterfly" with shimmering bright wings appeared beside her. When she looked up again, all her emotions had returned to calm.

However, her tone was low and detached, regaining its aloofness and self-importance: "You should see now that it is I who controls your destiny, not the so-called noble young master you speak of."

As she spoke, Chu Suyuan turned and walked to the other side of the pharmacy, where several so-called young masters and ladies from prominent families were watching the spectacle with expressions of amusement.

It wasn't until Chu Suyuan stopped a short distance in front of them that these young masters and ladies from prominent families realized something was amiss.

"Kneel down." Chu Suyuan coldly uttered just two words.

Faced with Chu Suyuan's words, the group was first stunned, then seemed to have heard something amusing.

"She told us to kneel down? Did I hear that right? Hahaha."

"Yes, yes, Brother Li, she is an adopted daughter who rose from the ranks of a maid, yet she actually made us young masters and ladies of eighth-rank noble families kneel down."

A young lady waved her embroidered handkerchief and said with obvious disdain, "With your mere upper-middle mortal cultivation, you're not even qualified to be my maid. You think you can make me kneel before you? Dream on!"

Seeing their laughing and joking, and hearing their mocking words, Chu Suyuan was not annoyed at all.

He simply turned to the maidservant attending him and said:

"Did you all hear what they just said? Relay what these young masters and ladies said back up the mountain verbatim."

Finally, don't forget to add, "I, Chu Suyuan, am merely an adopted daughter. I cannot afford to support such extravagant Buddhas. It would be more appropriate for my adoptive father to send them elsewhere."

Upon hearing her words, the expressions of those young masters and ladies instantly changed.

"How old are you? Still playing the tattling game? How boring!"

"First of all, I'm not making a complaint, I'm just stating the facts. Secondly, when you resort to such disgusting methods, you should have considered all the possible consequences."

Chu Suyuan's expression was indifferent, as if she had lost all emotion.

One of the men, with thin eyebrows and long eyes, shouted:

"Let her file a complaint. She's just a lowly maid. Even if the Chu family adopts her as a daughter, it's only to appease the county magistrate. Now that she's no longer of any use, will the Chu family still care about her?"

The man had barely finished speaking when a clear, inquiring voice rang out.

"What are you complaining about? Who's the inferior one?"

The moment that crisp sound rang out, those arrogant young masters and ladies trembled as if they had been struck by some invisible force.

A pair of fair-skinned girls, one slightly taller and the other slightly shorter, dressed exquisitely, walked out from the crowd.

The one who spoke was a slightly shorter little girl, whose quiet and gentle face was now filled with a hint of anger.

Although they had never met this young girl, the moment her voice and figure appeared, these young masters and ladies from the three great families knew that she was a member of the Chu family who truly possessed the Chu family bloodline.

The fear, trembling, and submission that come from one's blood, as well as the respect and worship that surge from the depths of one's spiritual consciousness, are not fake.

The young girl was Chu Shenghan. She looked at the several young masters and ladies from noble families who were bowing their heads. She had only heard half of what they said, but she knew that they had been unusually arrogant just now.

So he coldly said, "Kneel down."

The moment they heard her words, almost without thinking, their knees buckled involuntarily.

'Knock knock knock'

His knees slammed against the hard ground, making a series of crisp sounds.

Chu Shenghan then turned to look at Chu Suyuan, taking her hand. "Suyuan, what's going on here?"

Chu Suyuan's previously calm expression softened considerably, and she briefly explained the situation to Chu Shenghan.

After hearing this, Chu Shenghan's expression grew even colder.

"Sister Suyuan, since you have been given the surname Chu, you are now a true member of the Chu family. Even without the bloodline suppression, you are still our master."

It seems that you still haven't figured out your place. In that case, from now on, you will all kneel here every day to treat the patients who come to you.

If they still don't recognize their place within a month... then our Chu family has no use for such disloyal servants, so let's just kill them.

The words "beat and kill" coming from the mouth of a little girl who is only eleven or twelve years old feel extremely incongruous.

The others would probably just think it was a child's joke, but the few kneeling on the ground felt a growing chill. They knew that even if it was just a joke from a child of the Chu family bloodline,

These true servants of the Chu family also had to obey orders without question. Even if they were asked to mutilate themselves, although they might be unwilling in their hearts, their bodies would still obey without question.

"Did you offer any explanation?"
