Eternal Beast Taming Family

In response to Chu Jingyu's question, the woman merely glanced at him sideways, a faint, mocking smile playing on her lips.

"The poison your good brother gave him won't kill him, but it will kill his talent. I reckon he'll live like a dog for the rest of his life."

After saying this, the woman got up, didn't look at the child on the bed again, and slowly left the room.

Chu Jingyu felt as if a bitter gall bladder had shattered in his mouth, and he wanted to gag, but this only triggered a greater upheaval of emotions.

Approaching the bedside, the once lively and energetic child now appeared pale, with a wisp of bluish-black tinge visible between his brows.

"Go and invite the best doctors from Chuyan City."

Chu Jingyu grasped the child's hand with trembling fingers, almost whispering the words.

Nearly an hour passed, and the servant whom Chu Jingyu had sent to fetch a doctor had not returned, nor had any doctor arrived.

A shadow fell over Chu Jingyu's eyes. Just as he was about to send another servant to inquire about the situation, one of the servants who had been sent out earlier hurriedly came to report.

"Young Master, all the men you sent out have been stopped by the First Madam's men. No one can leave the manor without her orders."

Chu Jingyu's face darkened. He reached out and scooped the child into his arms, then walked steadily toward the gate. Sure enough, he saw guards blocking the entrance.

Seeing Chu Jingyu carrying a child and walking aggressively towards them, the guards who seemed to be the leaders exchanged glances, but still stepped forward to block Chu Jingyu's path.

"Second Young Master, the First Madam has ordered that the Chu family residence be under martial law today, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

Chu Jingyu's face was as cold and hard as iron. He simply said, "Get out of the way."

The guards exchanged glances, disobeyed his orders, clasped their hands in a fist salute to Chu Jingyu, and repeated what they had just said.

Chu Jingyu had little patience left. The "Golden Jade Beast," a lower-level beast of a different rank, appeared before him instantly. Its small size exerted a great deal of pressure on the guards of the same level.

The guards' expressions changed as uniformly dressed "golden-armored guards" appeared before them, also clad in iron armor and standing with their swords drawn, seemingly determined to prevent Chu Jingyu from leaving.

Chu Jingyu glanced back at the depths of the house, thinking to himself, "This dear sister-in-law of mine is trying to drive my Xiao Hui to her death."

However, he didn't say much. The "Golden Jade Beast" was already glowing with golden light and broke into the formation of the "Golden Armor Guardians". Even if they were at the same level, the "Golden Jade Beast" was still much stronger than them.

With almost every swipe of its claws, a deep trench would appear on the body of the "Golden Armor Guardian," revealing its empty interior.

……

A dozen minutes later, with a loud bang from the door,

Chu Jingyu, holding the child, stepped steadily out from behind the door.

……

In the best medical clinic in Chuyan City.

After receiving medical treatment, the child vomited black blood and slowly regained consciousness.

Amidst the child's bewildered gaze, the great physician sighed softly, "Young master, you have been afflicted by a curse. I fear you will never be able to awaken your spiritual powers and become a contract master again in this lifetime."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jingyu's expression turned somewhat gloomy. "May I ask, Doctor, is there any miraculous medicine that can cure this?"

"Only by finding a special type of medicinal beast, or by beseeching a medicinal beast of the domain rank or above, can one have a chance to completely remove the curse poison from its body. This poison is extremely potent and quite precious; it is a sin to use it on a child."

Chu Jingyu held the child, somewhat bewildered. The entire Chu family was only an eighth-rank noble family, and although they were one of the rulers in the entire Chuyan City.

However, there are no Domain-level Contract Masters in the entire Chuyan City, let alone Domain-level Beasts.

After paying the consultation fee, Chu Jingyu walked aimlessly down the street with the child in his arms, feeling as if there was nowhere for the father and son to stay in this vast world.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the entire Chuyan City suddenly descended into chaos.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The eldest wife, eldest son, and second wife of the Chu family perished in the same fire."

Attracted by the news, Chu Jingyu stopped her bewildered steps and heard the voice speaking softly again.

"It seems that the second wife of the Chu family sacrificed her own source beast, the Exploding Flame Spirit Flower, to drag the first wife and the eldest son of the Chu family into the sea of ​​fire, causing them to perish together."

"The relationships between these powerful families are truly despicable; it's as if such a shocking event can occur."

"There are reasons for all of this. The eldest wife of the Chu family comes from the Yuan family in the west, while the second wife comes from the Yan family, which is gradually declining."

"Didn't the Chu family and the Yuan family wipe out the Yan family a while ago? I guess it's because of that that the second wife of the Chu family decided to kill the first wife and the eldest son who has half the blood of the Yuan family."

"Tsk, that second wife is quite pitiful. The last bloodline of the Yan family is gone..."

Chu Jingyu didn't listen to what was said next. He ran towards the Chu family home at the fastest speed he could muster.

As they approached the direction of the Chu family's residence, they saw flames and smoke piercing the sky, as well as somewhat chaotic figures in the courtyard.

In a daze, Chu Jingyu seemed to see a phantom girl looking back at him and the direction of the child in his arms, revealing a familiar, gentle smile.

"Yu Rou".

Chu Jingyu murmured to himself, and the next moment he was jolted awake from his daze.

They quickly stormed into the Chu family's residence, where most of the house was already engulfed in flames.

In mid-air, Chu Jingyu saw his elder brother, who was in seclusion cultivating and had already broken through to the Spirit Rank.

At this moment, a source beast beside him was using the lake water in his house to extinguish the raging fire.

However, it was not very effective. Chu Jingyu knew that the "Exploding Flame Spirit Flower," a spirit-grade plant, would burn with its own spiritual energy as fuel, even at the cost of its own self-destruction. The flames would only extinguish when the spiritual energy it contained was completely exhausted.

The fact that such a large fire could be caused at the Chu family mansion suggests that even the energy within Yan Yurou's body was used as fuel.

The fire burned for a day and a night, until it completely destroyed most of the Chu family mansion, before it slowly died down.

Floating in mid-air, Chu Jingxuan, who had failed to put out the fire, was also Chu Jingyu's elder brother. He slowly descended and landed in front of Chu Jingyu.

At this moment, Chu Jingxuan's eyes were bloodshot, and his face seemed to still carry a deep sorrow and a profound weariness after his hard work.

Looking at his weathered appearance, Chu Jingyu felt a strange sense of pleasure.

Chu Jingxuan looked at Chu Jingyu with hatred in his eyes, "Yan Yurou has destroyed the centuries-old foundation of my Chu family. Second brother, do you have anything to say about this?"

"Oh."

Chu Jingyu chuckled softly, "When you joined forces with the Yuan family to wipe out the entire Yan family and divide their spoils, didn't you foresee the consequences today?"

"I shouldn't have considered brotherhood back then, letting Yan Yurou live peacefully to this day."

Chu Jingyu avoided looking at Chu Jingxuan's face, instead looking down at the sleeping child in her arms, her voice soft as if afraid of waking the child.

"Brother, if you truly cared about brotherhood, you wouldn't have targeted the family behind Yan Yurou."
