Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Shengyuan spent almost the entire afternoon with Chu Shengyu on the playground.

They witnessed the various source beasts that the Chu family now possessed. In the end, Chu Shengyu was almost exhausted and fell into a deep sleep in Chu Shengyuan's arms.

Having successfully appeased the child for the day, it was time for lunch, and Chu Shengyuan and Lin Zixu parted ways at the foot of the mountain.

Lin Zixu no longer lives with the Chu family. Given his father's current status in Qixia Town, they own a small, independent courtyard not far from the town center.

Back home, Chu Shengyuan led the gradually waking Chu Shengyu to the main hall, where most of the family members had already arrived.

It was still a family dinner, but today there were two more figures: the graceful Xu Yinyue and Chu Suyuan, who rarely appeared at family dinners.

Chu Suyuan and Xu Yinyue sat next to Chu Shenghan, and the three of them were talking about something. Their intimate and natural attitude showed that they were usually very close.

Chu Shengyuan, holding Chu Shengyu, sat down next to his elder brother Chu Shengfan. Looking at it this way, this family banquet was much more lively than a typical New Year's Eve dinner.

Chu Jingyu looked around, his gaze lingering on Chu Shengyuan for a moment longer, before speaking calmly, "Let's eat."

A variety of dishes were served in a flowing stream. Most of these dishes contained energy, some were made with energy-containing medicinal herbs, and some were made with the meat of source beasts, which had a great nourishing effect on the body.

Half an hour later, everyone finished eating, and the servants around them cleared away the food.

After offering a cup of tea, Chu Jingyu's gaze fell on Chu Suyuan.

"Your wedding is approaching. For now, please hand over the affairs of the clinic to your subordinates and focus on this matter. Your marriage is not just about you; it concerns the entire Chu family."

When guests arrive in droves, I hope that the ordinary husband you have chosen will not lose face.

Although Chu Jingyu did not explicitly express his rejection of Chu Suyuan's choice of such an ordinary man as her husband, his words still hinted at his dissatisfaction.

A hint of nervousness appeared on Chu Suyuan's delicate face. "Yes, Grandpa, I will train him well these next few days."

"Stop training him, just awaken his spirit directly. Now that you've confirmed he's your husband, you can't keep treating him like an ordinary person."

Chu Shengfan and Chu Shenghan exchanged a glance. Originally, their plan was to perform the spirit-opening ceremony for Zhang Xuanlang at the wedding banquet, but now, according to their grandfather, they wanted to perform the ceremony earlier and make him a contract master.

However, it's nothing. After the spiritual awakening, with nearly seven or eight days left, we should be able to raise Zhang Xuanlang's cultivation level to the middle stage of the mortal realm.

After reaching a higher level of life, one will naturally be much calmer when facing numerous high-level guests attending the ceremony.

Having met Zhao Xuanlang in person, Chu Shengfan wasn't worried about his performance at the wedding. In fact, the early spirit-opening ceremony wouldn't have a significant impact on the wedding schedule he and Chu Shenghan had planned.

"As for the Source Beast, well... you can take him to the grassland and choose a mortal-level one yourself."

Chu Suyuan's face lit up with joy as she thanked Chu Jingyu, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Chu Jingyu nodded slightly, then looked at Chu Qinhui, a hint of urging appearing in his eyes.

"You must advance to the Spirit Rank before Chu Suyuan's wedding. You've been stuck at the Upper Extraordinary Rank for over a year now, and I see you're becoming increasingly lax in your cultivation."

Upon hearing his father's ultimatum, Chu Qinhui felt an immense increase in pressure, wondering if the curse he had suffered had damaged his foundation.

After reaching the upper level of the alien rank, he failed to break through for a long time. Now, his daughter and wife, who had been cultivating later, have caught up with him in terms of realm. Although he was genuinely happy for his wife and daughter's breakthrough, he also felt some pressure.

"Okay, Father." In the end, Chu Qinhui didn't say much and reluctantly agreed.

"The steward brought news today that the trade route to Chuyan City has been opened. After the wedding, I want to go there myself to see it."

Chu Jingyu's words seemed to be a mixture of many emotions, with a slight profundity and a hint of barely perceptible sigh.

No one present reacted much to this unfamiliar city, and some were puzzled as to why Chu Jingyu was showing such obvious emotions.

Only Chu Qinhui, upon hearing this long-unheard name, was stunned for a moment as if struck by lightning, before urgently saying, "Father, I will go with you."

Hearing Chu Qinhui's words, Chu Jingyu frowned and said, "Where are you going? Only after you break through to the Spirit Rank can I feel at ease letting you stay and guard the Chu family."

Let me handle those old matters myself.

Chu Qinhui's face revealed an urgency, "I was also one of the witnesses to the old events. Father, I cannot rest easy if I cannot personally witness the revenge."

The others, noticing the change in the two men's emotions, looked slightly uneasy.

Chu Jingyu looked at Chu Qinhui, who was excited, and remained silent for a long time. "Then you must break through to the Spirit Rank before you can go."

Chu Qinhui cupped his hands in greeting to Chu Jingyu, "Alright, Father, I will go and cultivate to break through now."

Chu Shengyuan looked at his grandfather, then at his departing father. He led Chu Shengyu to Chu Shenghan, handed Xiaoyu to him, and then hurriedly left with his father.

The moonlight, like water, shone in through the wide-open doorway, mingling with the lamplight and the brilliance of the luminous stone, bringing a touch of coolness.

Chu Jingyu sighed softly, "Xiao Fan, after the wedding, could you stay a little longer to help take care of the house? Your father and I will be dealing with some old matters."

Chu Shengfan pondered for a moment, "Grandfather, could you tell me what this old story is all about? Perhaps I can be of some help?"

Chu Jingyu sighed slightly, "The story is not complicated. It is about the origin of the cursed poison on your father's body and why our Chu family is an outsider living here."

However, as sons of the Chu family, you should also know about these past events.

As Chu Jingyu reminisced, a story buried for decades gradually surfaced.

……

Thirty-six years ago, in Chuyan City.

Chu Jingyu, who had just returned from another successful hunting trip, was met with a shocking message from his servants.

"Second Young Master, something terrible has happened! The young master has suddenly fallen into a coma and is vomiting black blood, which seems to be a sign of poisoning."

Upon hearing the news, Chu Jingyu felt a wave of dizziness. He steadied himself, asked no further questions, and rushed back to his courtyard.

Sure enough, on the bed in the side room, there was an unconscious child, and a gentle woman standing by the bedside, her face showing little sign of anxiety.

Looking at the woman's behavior, he suddenly felt a chill run through him. "Xiao Hui, why is she suddenly like this?"
