Eternal Beast Taming Family

As soon as Chu Shengfan said this, the noisy crowd around him fell silent for a moment, and surprised or curious gazes fell on him.

Some even stepped forward, trying to push aside the woman in front of him and grab Chu Shengfan, asking, "Young master, are you really a doctor?"

Chu Shengfan dodged his grabbing hand and helped the woman who was still kneeling on the ground up. "Take it one by one. Whether we can see her depends on what kind of illness she has."

The woman, trembling, pushed through the crowd, revealing a toddler of about five or six years old lying on a soft chair.

The child's face was bluish, and a thin layer of ice crystals covered his bare palms, which seemed to be due to more than just being cold.

Chu Shengfan frowned. Of course, he wouldn't treat any illnesses. He stretched out his palm, and the portal to the Origin Beast Space opened wide. A butterfly with wings like flower petals flew out from his palm.

Then, following Chu Shengfan's wishes, he sprinkled pinkish-purple pollen onto the child.

Seeing Chu Shengfan summon a source beast, the crowd surrounding him tacitly took a step back, giving Chu Shengfan enough space.

Chu Shengfan's hopeful gaze fell on the child, hoping that the medicine powder would alleviate his symptoms.

The wounds on the child's body, which he had scratched himself, were slowly healing, but the ice crystals attached to his body did not disappear, and the bluish-gray color on his face did not ease in the slightest.

Chu Shengfan sighed. "Flower medicine powder" can treat abrasions, wounds, and even burns, but it has no effect on frostbite inside the body.

"This is frostbite, and I... cannot cure it."

Upon hearing Chu Shengfan's words, the woman couldn't stop her tears from falling, repeatedly saying in a daze, "Thank you, thank you."

Then, as if she had lost her soul, she hugged the child lying on the soft chair tightly in her arms, "Little baby, Mommy will warm you up with my body, and you'll feel better soon."

The low voice was unusually clear in the noisy environment. Chu Shengfan felt sorry for it. The "Flower Butterfly" landed on his shoulder and rubbed its head against him, as if to comfort him.

Chu Shengfan squatted down, extended his palm and grasped the child's hand, which was covered in ice crystals. The child's palm was like an icicle, a temperature that no human body could possibly have.

The child's face was scrunched up tightly, as if he were experiencing some kind of pain even in his weak sleep.

A faint floral fragrance enveloped the child from Chu Shengfan's shoulders, and the child's eyelids twitched, as if he was about to wake up under the stimulation of the fragrance.

The woman beside him also smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and she looked at Chu Shengfan with hopeful eyes.

Chu Shengfan sighed, "The fragrance of this flower can reduce his pain and help him wake up from the illusion. Say what you have to say quickly."

The light in the woman's eyes dimmed.

"Mother."

A soft call from her arms snapped her back to reality. She touched the child's pale face and asked softly,

"Little Bao, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Mom, don't cry. I'm not feeling unwell, I just want to sleep."

Hearing the baby in her arms say that he wanted to sleep, the woman immediately tensed up. "Little one, be good, we won't sleep. You watch Mommy, you can't sleep, okay?"

The toddler in her arms seemed to sense the panic in her mother's eyes and nodded obediently. "Mommy, I don't want to sleep. Where are we?"

"The pharmacy is where Xiao Bao'er gets treated. If Xiao Bao'er gets treated here, he'll recover quickly."

"Mom, am I sick? Why can't I move my arm? Hehe." A smile appeared on the child's face.

"It's alright, it's not a serious illness, you'll be fine soon. Just be good, little one." The woman gently stroked the child's face, just as she had when he was an infant.

The infant in his arms had his eyelids slightly closed, then he forced them open again, back and forth, over and over again.

Tears streamed uncontrollably from the woman's eyes. She patted the child's back and said softly, "Little one, if you're really tired, it's okay to sleep for a while. How about Mommy sings you a song to cheer you up?"

"Okay." The reply was barely audible.

"Good baby, sleeping rice, the old cat is coming, I'll beat it..."

In this folk rhyme, the child's eyelids finally close gently, concealing the innocent light within, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he were having a sweet dream before falling asleep.

Finally, a few ice crystals appeared on her body and slowly floated into the void. The woman's gaze fell on the ice crystals floating into the void, and she wanted to reach out her palm to scoop them up.

But at one moment the ice crystal became illusory, passing through her palm and continuing upwards into the sky.

"Baby, have you gone to be reincarnated? Remember to find a wealthy family next time."

The woman stopped touching the ice crystals and instead adjusted her position, pressing the child's head tightly against her neck.

She stood up and walked toward the door of Yaoxintang with a blank gaze.

Chu Shengfan reached out to stop her, but the woman bowed slightly to him, saying, "Young master, I will repay your kindness in my next life."

Chu Shengfan intended to speak up and dissuade them, but the people around him made way for him and said to Chu Shengfan:

"Young man, let her go. All six members of her family are dead, and she's all alone. Even if she survives, her life won't be easy."

It seemed that everyone in the neighborhood remembered her, and the others quietly made way for the woman to go outside.

The woman bowed again, thanking those around her.

Then, gently rocking the child in her arms, she calmly stepped into the snow and wind outside.

"Little Bao'er, let's go home."

But she could never go home again. Without the protective shield, the extreme cold caused her to collapse to the ground stiffly after walking only a dozen meters.

The eyes of everyone inside the door immediately showed pity, and Chu Shengfan was even more at a loss. All he knew was that a fire was burning in his heart.

Most of the wounded at the Yaoxintang storefront suffered from frostbite, and he and "Hua Yaodie" couldn't offer much help.

So he turned and went through the back door into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I found the person I was looking for.

Sun Chunchen calmly looked at Chu Shengfan, whose emotions were overflowing, and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

Seeing Sun Chunchen standing there, Chu Shengfan suddenly calmed down. He stared intently at Sun Chunchen.

"I want to go home."

"At this hour, you want to go home? Those Liu family disciples are out there searching for offerings. You, a weakling with no fighting ability, are you going to run into their trap?"

"I...the outside temperature is so low, I'm scared..." What kind of accident happened to my family?

Sun Chunchen naturally understood what Chu Shengfan was trying to say.

"Your grandfather is there to protect you, so you don't need to worry. Besides, the closer you get to the altar, the more dangerous it is. Your family is much safer in the village than here."

"But weren't the villagers of Qihe Village the first to go missing?" Chu Shengfan asked anxiously.

"I think those villagers were just the first batch of test subjects. Once it was proven effective, and with the entire town's population as sacrifices, why would they go to the trouble of going to remote villages to capture people?"

Sun Chunchen's words made sense, and Chu Shengfan calmed down completely.

"What did you feel when you faced death for the first time?" Sun Chunchen asked casually, but his eyes were full of inquiry as he looked at Chu Shengfan.

"I...I don't know. I'm furious. I feel it's unfair. Why should these innocent civilians be sacrificed just because their Liu family wants to advance in their careers?"

I'm also afraid that in the future, we might unknowingly become some kind of neglected consumables.

I'm not satisfied; I want to get justice for them.

In that instant, Chu Shengfan seemed to have matured considerably; his eyes now held many things that were not there before.

Sun Chunchen took a few steps forward, came to Chu Shengfan's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile,

"Congratulations, young man, on officially entering this real and cruel world. I hope you can always stay true to yourself in the future."

The strong wield their swords against the weak, and the weak wield their swords against the even weaker. May you know more, and also have the courage to wield your sword against the stronger.

With that, Sun Chunchen stepped into the entrance of Yaoxintang.

Chu Shengfan remained silent in the courtyard for a long time, holding the "Flower Medicine Butterfly" in his palm, his eyes unfocused as if he was pondering Sun Chunchen's words.
