Eternal Beast Taming Family

The white deer boy, who had noticed the commotion ahead, panicked the moment he saw the child. He was almost a blur as he appeared at the very front of the group.

"Young Master Yu, what are you doing here? Why don't you have a single guard with you?"

"Oops, I've been recognized." The child patted his chubby hands, seemingly a little helpless, then he put a finger to his lips and whispered:

"I snuck out by myself, so don't tell anyone!"

The young man with the white deer squatted down in front of Chu Shengyu, and said with a wry smile, "Young Master Yu, you'd better hurry back, otherwise they'll go crazy if they can't find you in the manor."

Chu Shengyu blinked his eyes behind the mask, then, as if he hadn't heard the white deer boy's words, looked behind him.

"Wow, so many people! But they all look so thin and pale, they look so pitiful."

"Young Master Yu, these were brought back from outside by the family head. We don't know the specifics of what happened to them. If you're curious, why don't you go back and ask the family head?"

Chu Shengyu bypassed the white-haired boy and walked straight into the group of boys and girls. He cleared his throat.

"Although you don't seem to be doing very well, you should still pay a small toll when you pass through my area. A leaf or a pebble will do. But the rules can't be changed."

As he spoke, the expression on his menacing mask changed accordingly, radiating malice.

The boy and girl he was watching exchanged a startled glance, then looked at the white deer boy for help.

The white-haired youth rubbed his forehead, walked to Chu Shengyu's side, casually tossed a jade stone from his spatial artifact into the hand of the youth closest to Chu Shengyu, and then spoke softly.

"Take it and deliver it to Young Master Yu."

The bright, clear jade landed in the young man's hand, radiating a slight warmth. The young man gently rubbed it a couple of times before stepping forward and carefully placing the jade in Chu Shengyu's outstretched hand.

Seeing someone hand over their belongings and come out, Chu Shengyu nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, you can go now."

And so, a very strange scene unfolded on this mountain road: the white deer boy placed the jade in the hands of each young man and woman, and then they stepped forward to hand the jade to the child blocking the way.

Of course, in the eyes of the young man Bai Lu, this was just playing a game with the young master. The family would reimburse him for the jade if he reported it.

But lately, this young master Yu seems to be acting more and more unpredictably. Who would have thought that a young master from a prestigious family would actually rob a group of ordinary people on the road? Even if it were a joke, probably no one would believe it.

But it actually happened.

Just a moment later, a few people hurried down the mountain path above. Upon seeing the masked child, they seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief.

One of the teenagers, in particular, charged towards Chu Shengyu with a lot of shouting.

"My dear young master, how did you sneak out like this? The situation outside is so turbulent. What if you get hurt?"

As he spoke, he carefully examined Chu Shengyu's entire body, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no bumps or bruises.

"Young Master Yu, we should go back now. If Madam comes to your courtyard and finds you're not there, something terrible will happen."

Upon hearing the words of this young man, Chu Shengyu frowned slightly beneath his mask, as if he were somewhat conflicted.

Looking at the group of teenagers who were almost halfway gone, Chu Shengyu's eyes lit up.

"Just a little longer, the mission will be completed soon."

The boy trying to persuade him looked bitter. Ever since Young Master Yu contracted a source beast, his behavior had become increasingly strange, with him constantly talking about "tasks," "requirements," and "rewards."

In the past, it was nothing more than running around the house a few times or planting a few spiritual plants in the yard. Today, it seems to be going a bit too far, actually robbing people on the road.

What was previously dismissed as mere childish interest seems particularly absurd today.

"Young Master Yu, if Madam finds out about your act of robbing people on the road, she will be very unhappy."

As Chu Shengyu collected the offerings, he made a "shh" sound with one finger, clearly not taking the advice to heart.

A gentle voice rang in Chu Shengyu's ear, "Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"

"Robbery, huh?" He answered instinctively upon hearing the familiar voice, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized something was wrong.

Looking back to his side, he indeed found a gentle woman standing beside him.

The gentle woman smiled warmly as always. "Really? Did you have a good day?"

Chu Shengyu's eyes darted around, but he didn't answer. Instead, he turned and ran towards the other side of the mountain path.

Furthermore, the mask on his face emitted a faint glow, as if it were using some kind of skill to aid his escape.

He hadn't gone far when a huge pink tongue emerged from the woods beside the mountain path, blocking his way completely.

Jiang Nian strode towards Chu Shengyu's side, her voice already tinged with suppressed anger, "Where are you going?"

Chu Shengyu turned around, flashed a big smile, then ran to the lady's side, hugged her leg, and began to speak.

"Mom, I didn't sneak out. I had a dream yesterday that there would be my future capable assistant here, so I wanted to see it for myself."

"A dream?" Jiang Nian's expression, which had initially held a hint of anger, instantly calmed down upon hearing those two words. "You mean, you dreamt of such a scene yesterday?"

Jiang Nian frowned deeply. Before Chu Zu fell into a deep sleep, he had told the Chu family in detail about Xiao Yu's true talent, which was that she could only detach herself from the past.

It has never been said that it also possesses the ability to predict the future.

So Jiang Nian pointed her finger at Chu Shengyu's ear and said, "At such a young age, you've already started to learn how to lie."

Feeling the force coming from his ear, Chu Shengyu hurriedly shouted:

"Mother, I really didn't lie to you. It was a young man who demonstrated it to me in my dream. His body was surrounded by shimmering light, and he looked incredibly powerful."

Hearing Chu Shengyu's confident tone, Jiang Nian couldn't help but loosen her grip. Could it be that what Xiaoyu said was true?

Jiang Nian released her grip. "Alright, find the person you're looking for now. As for whether what you said is true, I'll take you to see your grandfather before I make a judgment."

Chu Shengyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stopped blocking the way, letting the young men and women pass by one by one. Instead, he walked down the mountain path himself.

After carefully selecting, just as they were about to reach the end of the line, Chu Shengyu pointed to two boys and girls standing very close together and spoke.

"Mother, these two are the ones."
