Eternal Beast Taming Family

The two evolutionary paths of the "Wood Spirit Crystal Python" may not be as precious as those of the "Wood Flower Spirit Python," but they are more mysterious.

Judging from its name and the materials required for evolution, the "Crystal Pattern Nether Demon" seems to be evolving from a python into another species.

Chu Shengfan had experienced or seen the "Mirror Demon," one of the materials, before. Its rarity and powerful skills were quite good, and it could be found at least in Immortal City.

The second evolutionary path, "Crystal Jade Wood Python," seems to focus more on itself, requiring the mastery of relevant skills and the domination of an area.

However, overall, the evolution of the "Wood Spirit Crystal Python" is much simpler than that of the "Wood Flower Spirit Python" in terms of both materials and conditions.

As for Chu Shengyuan's third source beast, according to the family's original plan, this third one was intended to be contracted with the "Moon-Worshipping Rabbit," which would be considered a symbolic source beast for the family in the future.

After all, the "Moon-Worshiping Rabbit's" skills are so rare that, in the current Chu family, it can be considered the family's representative source beast.

Unfortunately, when Chu Shengyuan saw the obedient and adorable "Moon-Worshipping Rabbit" that had been sent to him, he seemed to struggle for a long time. In the end, he did not choose to form a contract with it, but instead raised the rabbit well on the mountain.

When Chu Jingyu learned that there was no contract, he asked Chu Shengyuan about it and received a somewhat expected answer.

"That rabbit is too soft and cuddly, not fierce enough, not my type."

Since the child had said so, and Chu Shengyuan was far away at the time, Chu Jingyu had no choice but to let him go.

However, upon his return, Chu Jingyu seemed to still intend for him to contract a "Moon-Worshipping Rabbit," given its adorable appearance and skill set.

In terms of endurance, improving one's own or other source beasts' aptitude, and providing support capabilities, it is outstanding.

Moreover, as these source beasts appeared in the city, their prices kept rising, but the Chu family released fewer and fewer of them.

What was once a highly sought-after person was now being disliked by Chu Shengyuan.

……

Early in the morning, in the main hall of the Chu family, Chu Shengyuan arrived late after everyone had taken their seats.

She was still wearing the same simple clothes she had worn the day before.

Upon seeing Chu Shengyuan's appearance, a clear hint of displeasure flashed across Chu Jingyu's face. "Xiaoyuan, you didn't seem to be home last night?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the rest of the Chu family members fell on Chu Shengyuan.

Chu Qinhui pursed his lips, sat upright, and looked as if he knew the truth.

Jiang Nian was initially surprised, then her eyes showed a hint of worry, as if she was also wondering why Xiao Yuan wasn't staying at home after returning, but had gone out to do something.

Chu Shenghan's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of curiosity on her increasingly refined face.

Chu Shengyu, the little guy, was completely oblivious to the atmosphere at home. He just obediently held his toy and played with it over and over.

Only Chu Shengfan's eyes revealed a hint of understanding, as if he had already guessed what his younger brother had been doing last night.

Faced with this situation that clearly resembled a joint trial, even the accustomed to lawlessness Chu Shengyuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He glanced at his grandfather, then at his father, and didn't dare to sit down.

She stopped at the doorway and replied with a somewhat 'obedient' air, "I was bored, so I went out for a stroll and saw how my hometown had changed in the years I hadn't seen it."

Chu Jingyu was not satisfied with his answer, and his expression became more stern. "Liar! How many places have you been to in this Paper Kite County? You haven't even been to Jade Town many times. Why would you need to see any changes?"

"We haven't seen each other for three years. Do you not even respect me, your grandfather? Are you trying to fool me with these lies?"

Seeing that her father seemed genuinely angry, Jiang Nian's heart clenched. She leaned forward slightly as if to stand up and gently advised:

"Xiao Yuan, what exactly did you do yesterday? Tell your grandfather the truth. You finally got to come home, don't make your grandfather angry."

Chu Shengyuan sensed something was amiss as he observed the situation. He had only gone out last night, and the Chu family had never had a curfew. His grandfather shouldn't be this angry.

Something was very wrong. He swallowed hard and honestly reported his itinerary from the previous day.

"Is this your first time here, Senior Brother Qiao? You're a bit curious about the surroundings, so last night we went for a stroll outside the boundary."

I figured my senior brother was a mid-level Domain Rank cultivator, so he probably wouldn't encounter any danger in Paper Hawk County, and that's why I went out with him.

Chu Jingyu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his expression as deep and unfathomable, it was unclear whether he was satisfied with Chu Shengyuan's answer.

After a moment, Chu Jingyu's voice rang out again, "So, have you found any trace of that kite?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Shengyuan stiffened for a moment, then chuckled, "Grandpa, so you already knew. I was only out for a short time yesterday, mainly just scouting the surrounding area. I didn't do any specific searching, so we haven't found it yet."

Seeing Chu Shengyuan's grinning face, Chu Jingyu felt a headache coming on. He maintained a serious expression and solemnly warned Chu Shengyuan.

"If you haven't found them, that's for the best. From now on, I forbid you from inquiring about any information related to kites, and I don't allow you to actively search for their whereabouts."

If you still care about me as your grandfather, then stay home these next few days, spend time with your family, and obediently go back to the academy when it's time.

Chu Shengyuan was truly stunned. He had never heard his grandfather say anything so serious before, and a look of grievance unconsciously appeared on his face.

"grandfather……"

Chu Jingyu sighed softly, ultimately unable to bear seeing Chu Shengyuan wronged, and her tone unconsciously softened.

"Xiao Yuan, our Chu family has only just gotten on the right track. The construction of Qixia Town is showing some progress, and it has gained some reputation among the surrounding counties."

Thanks to Chu Zu, the family has acquired some novel and unique source beasts, and thanks to your elder brother, the family has managed to stabilize its business in the prefectural city.

At this time, the reappearance of kites in the kite county is more of a curse than a blessing for our Chu family.

Originally, the appearance of you two brothers had already drawn a lot of attention to Paper Hawk County, and in recent years, the number of contract masters from outside Paper Hawk County has increased significantly.

Some even aspired to join our Chu family as guest retainers, but your grandfather was afraid, so I didn't dare accept a single one.

Chu Jingyu stood up, walked to Chu Shengyuan, put his hand on Chu's shoulder, and looked out of the Chu family mansion.

"You think our Chu family has suddenly risen to prominence in recent years, to the point that even the county magistrate has to show us respect? What do you think that's all thanks to?"
