Eternal Beast Taming Family

A woman in a purple robe floated out from the palace buildings. She glanced at Xiao Muchu and asked softly,

"Is this the place where the Chu family of Qixia Town, Paper Kite County, is located?"

This woman didn't seem to be the owner of the palace, but rather one of its attendants, yet she possessed a cultivation level similar to Xiao Muchu's.

Her words implied that she had come specifically for the Chu family.

Xiao Muchu and Chu Jingyu exchanged a glance, both able to see the confusion in each other's eyes.

Xiao Muchu cupped his hands in greeting, "This is indeed the territory of Paper Hawk County, and the person next to me is the current head of the Chu family."

Upon hearing this, the woman smiled with relief.

"Could our vehicle be allowed to enter the boundary membrane for some minor repairs?"

Xiao Muchu could sense that within that palace, there were people whose cultivation level was far higher than that of the woman before her.

However, there are still some things that need to be asked routinely. "May I ask where your entourage comes from? The area of ​​Paper Hawk County is relatively small now, and I'm afraid it's difficult to accommodate your entire entourage."

The woman glanced into the barrier, a look of understanding flashing in her eyes. She told Xiao Muchu and the other woman to wait a moment, and then returned to the palace.

After a moment, the woman emerged from the palace with an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man.

The old man was dressed as a woman, with many wrinkles on his face, looking like he was about to step into his grave at any moment. However, his aura was as deep as an abyss, making Xiao Muchu dare not probe him at all.

The middle-aged man was about thirty years old and had a scholarly air about him. Wherever he went, there was a faint fragrance of ink and paper.

Similarly, Xiao Muchu couldn't discern this person's cultivation level at a glance.

The youngest was a girl of about eleven or twelve years old, at the upper level of the Spirit Realm. She wore a flamboyant red dress, and a red bird surrounded by flames accompanied her.

Neither Xiao Muchu nor Chu Jingyu knew the specific species name of this bird.

The young woman and the old woman walked on either side of the girl, giving the impression that the girl was superior to them, while the scholarly-looking man was a little further away from them, suggesting that they were not particularly close.

As they drew closer, the girl's clear voice rang out.

"I am the granddaughter of the True King of the Sea, and I have come here to meet my legendary future husband, Chu Shengyuan."

The girl has a cute appearance, but she is very bold in her actions. She directly spoke her mind when she heard her future husband say such things.

Chu Jingyu was completely stunned when she heard this. When did Xiao Yuan have a fiancée? How come she didn't know?

Did they secretly pledge their lives to each other at the academy?

No, judging from the girl's words, he has never met Xiaoyuan, so he shouldn't be engaged to her.

On the contrary, Chu Jingyu did not pay special attention to the words "granddaughter of the True King of the Sea".

Xiao Muchu, who was standing to the side, took notice, but was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. Yu Hai Zhen Wang was the third new King-level Contract Master to appear in the Qianyuan Dynasty in three hundred years.

He is the only royal-level contract master outside of the Jingyuan royal family in the recorded history of the Jingyuan Dynasty.

Moreover, judging from the way this young woman travels, her identity is almost certainly true.

Xiao Muchu immediately bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, saying, "Welcome, Your Highness, Princess. Please come and rest in the town."

The girl turned to look at the armored guards attending to her on both sides of the palace, "Find a place to rest outside the boundary membrane and follow my further orders."

The guards clasped their hands in response, and then the procession slowly descended onto a flat area outside the palace walls.

When Chu Jingyu returned to town from the air, his mind was still a bit fuzzy. What princess, what fiancé, made his thoughts a bit chaotic.

The last few people arrived at the newly renovated Xiao Mansion.

Although the courtyard is not large, there is still a front hall for receiving guests.

In the front hall, the girl looked around and was clearly intrigued by the town's architectural style.

However, she never forgot the purpose of her trip: "I want to see Chu Shengyuan; he should be in this town."

"This..." Xiao Muchu turned her gaze to Chu Jingyu, who was lost in thought.

Chu Jingyu snapped out of her daze. "If the princess wishes to see him, please wait a moment. I will go and fetch him to see you right away."

At this moment, the scholarly-looking man who had not spoken before spoke up, "Why don't we head straight to the Chu residence? I'd also like to see where my junior brother grew up."

Upon hearing the man speak, Chu Jingyu paused, "Are you Xiao Yuan's senior brother?"

The scholarly-looking man smiled and said, "I am Xiao Yuan's third senior brother. You can call me He Mingshu, sir."

The Chu family might find this trip a bit abrupt, given the suddenness of the arrival, but the engagement isn't finalized yet, and it remains to be seen how the two children are meant to be.

If it's a good fit, it's best to finalize things as soon as possible.

Hearing the rest, Chu Jingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't decided in a muddled way, it was fine. Whether it was suitable or not?

Given Xiao Yuan's personality, it's no wonder this seemingly arrogant girl wouldn't be interested in him.

Chu Jingyu felt a sense of relief, then cupped his hands in greeting, "Alright, if you don't mind, you may all come up the mountain with me."

The group moved from the Xiao residence in Qixia Town to the front hall of the Chu family mansion on the top of Qixia Mountain.

Chu Jingyu went to the ancestral hall in person and found that Xiao Yuan really did follow his instructions and was obediently guarding the place.

"Xiao Yuan, has Chu Zu still not awakened?"

Hearing his grandfather's voice, Xiao Yuan woke up from his cross-legged meditation and shook his head. "No."

Chu Jingyu sighed inwardly, "Come with me. A princess who claims to be your fiancée wants to see you."

"fiancée?"

Upon hearing his grandfather's words, Chu Shengyuan was so startled that he jumped up from the prayer mat.

"Grandpa, are you kidding me? Where did I get a fiancée?"

Chu Jingyu's expression was serious. "How could I joke with you like this? It was your teacher and Yu Hai Zhen Wang who discussed it and said that the two of you should meet first, and if it's a good match, then it will be settled directly."

"Suitable my foot! I'll just walk out and say no."

Chu Shengyuan lifted his leg to walk outside, but was blocked by Chu Jingyu's outstretched arm.

"What kind of attitude is that? She's a princess, a true king, do you know what that means? A descendant of the founder of a fifth-rank feudal family..."

Our family is merely a minor, lowly eighth-rank family; how dare we refuse their offer?

"True King!" Chu Shengyuan paused for a moment. "His realm is a level higher than my teacher's. I can't afford to offend him."

"What should we do then?" Chu Shengyuan asked, his tone somewhat helpless.

"Don't panic too much. What kind of people hasn't that princess seen? There's a high chance she won't like you. Just show a little bit of your bad temper, and you'll probably be rejected."

Chu Shengyuan glared. What was wrong with his personality? His grandfather's words were too hurtful.
