Eternal Beast Taming Family

The wait wasn't long, about ten minutes, before two people were brought in from outside the academy.

The two men were burly, but their faces were covered by masks that appeared to be made of iron. Chu Shengyuan frowned slightly and asked Uncle Sheng, who had brought the two in,

"Why are these two wearing masks?"

Uncle Sheng looked at the two silent men behind him and replied with a smile, "Young master, these two have been poisoned in their faces, it looks terrible, I'm afraid it might frighten you."

Upon hearing Uncle Sheng's words, Chu Shengyuan became even more interested. "Oh, then I'm even more curious. Take off your mask and let me see."

When they came in, Uncle Sheng knew it would be a while. He had wanted the two of them to pick the fruit before they came in, but they insisted on keeping it with them.

See, they still have to pick them after coming in. Uncle Sheng turned to the two people behind him and said in a calm voice, "The young master has ordered that you two pick them."

The one who was a few centimeters shorter glanced at the one who was taller next to him, his eyes filled with inquiry.

The taller one gave him a reassuring look, then took off his mask first.

In an instant, a face covered with blood tumors came into Chu Shengyuan's view. The blood tumors seemed to form a flower pattern, occupying most of the young man's face.

However, through the blankness of his face and the foundation of his features, one can still vaguely discern his handsome appearance from back then.

If one enjoys the uncanny, one might even find this face possessing a unique charm. Clearly, Chu Shengyuan has a rather unconventional aesthetic; upon seeing this face, he wasn't startled at all.

Instead, he stroked his chin and exclaimed in admiration, "Cool! Is this a curse, or poison?"

Seeing Chu Shengyuan's calm expression, the two seemed to realize that the young man before them was not an ordinary young master from a noble family.

The older-looking man replied, "Young Master, this is a curse from the Netherworld Poison Flower."

His voice sounded somewhat dry and hoarse.

Chu Shengyuan stared at the older man with wide eyes, as if asking, "And then what?"

The older man understood Chu Shengyuan's meaning and could only continue, "This curse can continuously damage our mental state, causing our cultivation levels to stagnate."

"I see," Chu Shengyuan said, a look of realization dawning on his face. "What were your identities before, and why did you end up in such a state?"

Upon hearing Chu Shengyuan's question, the older man paused for a moment, his eyes revealing a complex mix of sadness and resentment, before finally speaking slowly:

"My name is Cheng Yuanxing, and this is my younger brother Cheng Yuanfeng. We are originally from a sixth-rank noble family in Hanyuan Prefecture City."

Just recently, a prince or grandson of the Jingyuan royal family was murdered in our Hanyuan Prefecture.

"Our family failed to find the murderer, so the Jingyuan royal family imprisoned our entire clan, planted a curse on us, and reduced us to slavery."

When he spoke of the Jingyuan royal family, his tone was filled with deep hatred, and his younger brother Cheng Yuanfeng next to him seemed to clench his fists as well.

Chu Shengyuan felt a chill in his heart. The Jingyuan royal family wielded immense power; they could wipe out a sixth-rank family in the blink of an eye.

It's likely that, apart from the capital, the families in other cities are nothing more than ants in the eyes of the royal family, whose life and death are entirely at their discretion.

Hearing the anger and resentment in Cheng Yuanxing's words, Uncle Sheng, who was standing nearby, became extremely nervous and quickly shouted:

"Stop, stop, stop. There are some things you can't say, young master. These two are clearly not properly trained over there yet. Why don't we send them back first and sign the contract in a few days?"

Upon hearing that Uncle Sheng was going to send them back for "training," Cheng Yuanfeng, who was slightly younger, showed a hint of nervousness in his eyes. It seemed that this so-called "training" would be extremely difficult for the two Domain-level Contract Masters as well.

Chu Shengyuan raised his hand, stopping Uncle Sheng from taking the person away.

"Disciplining someone until they lose their spirit, that's not what I like. Uncle Sheng, did you bring the Soul Contract? Let's make the contract now."

Uncle Sheng looked somewhat troubled. "Young master, if you don't discipline him properly, he might cause you trouble in the future."

"Don't worry, they both seem pretty honest to me, nothing like that will happen."

Seeing that Chu Shengyuan insisted, Uncle Sheng frowned and had no choice but to agree. He handed the so-called soul contract to Chu Shengyuan.

The "Soul Contract" was just a piece of paper that shimmered with golden light. The moment it appeared, two golden threads faintly connected the Cheng Yuanxing and Cheng Yuanfeng brothers.

"Young master, you only need to extend a wisp of your spirit onto this soul contract to sign the master-slave contract."

When the two brothers saw the soul contract appear in Uncle Sheng's hand, their expressions changed slightly. In particular, Cheng Yuanfeng turned his head slightly to look at his elder brother, asking with his eyes whether they should make a move now.

At this moment, only Chu Shengyuan and Uncle Sheng, both of whom were of the upper spirit rank, were in the academy, along with several servants of varying middle and lower spirit rank standing at a distance.

It was indeed a good opportunity for the brothers to seize the Soul Contract and then escape.

Cheng Yuanxing, however, seemed to be thinking more deeply. After a struggle flashed in his eyes, he shook his head with difficulty at his younger brother.

Even if they seize the soul contract here, what can they do? The young man in front of them, who has an independent academy in the academy, is obviously not an ordinary person.

If they dare to harm him in the slightest, a powerful figure at the Transformation Rank will likely arrive to capture them in the next second. There are Domain Rank Contract Masters everywhere here; they won't be able to escape.

Seeing his brother's refusal, Cheng Yuanfeng's eyes dimmed. The young master of a sixth-rank noble family never expected that he would really be reduced to the status of a servant.

As the two brothers exchanged glances, Chu Shengyuan drew a wisp of spiritual power from his spiritual sea and slowly channeled it into the 'Soul Contract'.

After waiting for a few minutes, the 'Soul Contract' flew automatically into Chu Shengyuan's hand and then disappeared into his palm.

When Chu Shengyuan looked at the two brothers again, he clearly had a different feeling. It was as if he could control their every move and could easily kill them with just a thought.

This "Soul Contract" is indeed terrifying, seemingly even more so than the "Bloodline Shading Gu" at home. That Gu only has innate suppression and cannot control behavior or determine life and death with a single thought.

The moment he felt the contract being established, Cheng Yuanxing pulled his younger brother down to kneel, saying, "The Cheng brothers pay their respects to our master."

Just as Chu Shengyuan was about to tell the two to get up, a loud female voice called out from outside the academy.

"Xiao Yuan, what are you doing at the academy? Didn't we agree to go to the auction house together today?"

The next second, Nan Li, dressed in red, appeared in the courtyard. Looking at the two kneeling brothers, a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

"Huh, who's this?"

She bent down and saw the bloody marks on their faces. "Nether Poison Flower, isn't that the mark on the official slaves?"

Then she straightened up and looked at Chu Shengyuan in surprise, saying, "Little Yuan, you've struck it rich! You're actually willing to buy two Domain-level official slaves?"
