Eternal Beast Taming Family

After Chu Shengyuan carefully explained it to Chu Jingyu, he finally understood the meaning behind Chu Shengyuan's words.

Chu Jingyu looked at the "Cloud Grass Deer" in front of him and began a long questioning.

Meanwhile, the situation of the demon kingdom in this land of conflict was slowly revealed to the Chu family.

The Demon Kingdom has no ruler, only four Venerables who govern the four directions. (Chu Jingyu automatically changed his interpretation, meaning that there are no true kings, but rather four source beasts of the Evolved Rank, Spirit Path.)

In the Demon Kingdom, demons reign supreme, while humans hold a secondary position, and humans are protected by the demons. (Although the demons have formed their own social system, they are still unable to separate themselves from humans in certain circumstances, so they can only keep humans under their control, euphemistically called protection.)

Under the protection of the demon race, humans lived in villages or tribes. Only under the protection and alliance of the more powerful demon beasts could they form cities, while these lesser demons could only form villages.

The nearest city is Qingyuan City, which is protected by three powerful demons and is the preferred place for small demons in the surrounding area to trade. In the eyes of "Yuncaolu", it is the most prosperous place it has ever seen.

Besides these, Chu Jingyu also asked for some other bits and pieces of information. It wasn't until the sky darkened and the bright moon hung in the sky that Chu Jingyu stopped asking questions.

Faced with such a well-organized and eloquent source beast, Chu Jingyu hesitated for a moment before instructing his servants to arrange a guest room for it to rest.

Let the servant lead it to the guest room to rest, holding the chains that restrict its abilities.

Chu Jingyu's expression was somewhat complicated. The current situation in this land of conflict was something they had never anticipated.

Originally, it was thought to be a struggle with some local families, but unexpectedly, the final target became the formation of a tribe of source beasts that possessed intelligence no less than that of humans even at a low level.

Chu Jingyu sighed. If things had gone as originally planned, it would have been quite easy for the Chu family to integrate silently into this land of conflict.

However, their ideologies are different now. One side is dominated by humans, and the other by source beasts. If the Chu family were to actually make contact with the local source beasts, they would inevitably become a thorn in the side of all local forces.

Perhaps the Chu family could first present a powerful demon in plain sight, demonstrating that the Chu family is also a tribe protected by a powerful demon.

But which great demon should be chosen? Chu Jingyu thought about all the domain-level source beasts that his family currently possessed.

His own two "Snow Lotus" and "Golden Winged Beast with Ten Thousand Eyes".

Xiao Yuan's four "Azure Wood Spirit Dragon", "Spirit Void Dragon", "Starry Sky Soul Beast", and "Shadow Moon Priest".

There's also the "Human Realm Tree" that Xiao Fan left at home.

Unbeknownst to many, there are already seven Domain-level Source Beasts at home. If we add the ones Xiao Fan and Xiao Han bring with them...

"Floral Spirit King Butterfly", "Elemental Spirit", "Medicine King Ancient Tree", "Joyful Spirit Bright Heart Sparrow".

With eleven in total, they would be considered among the top-tier families of the seventh rank, no matter where they are located.

After careful consideration, Chu Jingyu finally chose "planting trees in the human realm," since it was currently the source beast with the highest cultivation level in the family.

Especially after the family settled here, its cultivation level has been increasing rapidly every day for some reason, and it has now reached the upper level of the Domain Rank.

Therefore, it is most reasonable for it, with its highest cultivation level, to serve as the clan's overt guardian demon.

Having made his decision, Chu Jingyu shared his thoughts with Chu Shengyuan and his mother.

"From now on, our family will also regard the tree planted in the human realm as our family's great demon. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and we shouldn't stand out too much."

After we take the Cloud Grass Deer to pay our respects tomorrow, we'll have it lead us to the city it mentioned. We'll eventually integrate into this place, so we might as well go and see it beforehand.

Chu Shengyuan scratched his head. "That Cloud Grass Deer is just a different-tier Origin Beast. Why take it to pay respects to the Human Realm Tree Planter? It's afraid it won't be able to say anything after seeing the Human Realm Tree Planter."

Chu Jingyu smiled, "Although the little demon is small, it is still a witness."

Upon hearing Chu Jingyu's words, Chu Shengyuan immediately understood his grandfather's meaning, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

On the other side, the "Cloud Grass Deer" led to the guest room by the servants looked around and found everything very novel. It had previously lived in a dark and damp cave, and had never lived in such a luxurious guest room before.

Although the furniture and furnishings seemed quite unsuitable for its deer-like form, and the bed was too small for it to stretch out comfortably.

But it still felt very happy; the people of this tribe were quite nice and knew how to respect their guests.

However, after a brief moment of novelty, it became worried again. This human had brought it here and asked it so many questions. Now that it knew the secret that this tribe seemed to be outsiders, would this family kill it to silence it?

But for now, it can't win a fight, so it can only leave it to fate.

Thinking about all this, "Cloud Grass Deer" pulled the bedding off the bed with some sorrow, spread it on the ground, adjusted itself into a comfortable position, and lay down on its side, preparing to spend its last night comfortably no matter what.

However, a moment later, there was a knock on the door. "Cloud Grass Deer" raised its head and said, "Come in."

The door was carefully opened, and the servants outside looked at the "Cloud Grass Deer" with some surprise. Just as others had said, this "Cloud Grass Deer" of a different rank could indeed speak human language.

They placed the different spiritual plants they were carrying on the table.

"We didn't know which kind of spiritual plants the customer preferred, so we sent over some of everything. If the customer needs anything else, they can let us know."

The lead servant smiled and spoke to the "Cloud Grass Deer" lying on the ground.

"Cloud Grass Deer" looked sadly at the various spiritual plants on the table that it had never seen before. Its eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. The Last Supper, huh?

It stood up, walked to the dining table, and thought that being able to die well-fed wouldn't be so bad.

But as it ate, its expression changed from sorrow to the joy of tasting delicious food; these spiritual herbs did indeed taste quite good.

After eating and drinking its fill, it lay back down on the bedding and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

As the sun and moon turned, the next morning, several new and exotic herbs were delivered. After it had eaten its fill, it was taken to the main hall to see Chu Jingyu and the others.

As they entered the main hall, Chu Jingyu greeted them with a smile, "Did you rest well yesterday, guest?"

Looking at Chu Jingyu, who was much gentler in his questioning than yesterday, "Yuncaolu" felt inexplicably strange. If he wanted to silence her, he wouldn't need to be like this, so she answered softly, "It's fine."

"That's good." Chu Jingyu nodded slightly. "My clan's Demon God is very interested in this place and has specifically requested to see you. Would you be willing to accompany me to meet him?"
