Eternal Beast Taming Family

Hearing his grandfather's promise, Chu Shengyu's eyes lit up with anticipation. He turned to Jiang Nian and asked, full of hope, "What do you want?"

"Mother, is that really true?"

Jiang Nian paused for a moment, then nodded slightly. "That's about right."

Chu Shengyu rubbed her little hands together expectantly. If she could form a new source beast, then going to class wouldn't be so bad.

Jiang Nian shook her head helplessly. She looked back down the mountain, where the young men and women struggling to climb were reflected in her eyes.

"Father, what should we do with these people?"

"The research institute, the animal training ground, the tailor shop, the blacksmith shop, and the farmland were all allocated to one place, but there weren't actually many people there."

They haven't been educated about the local monster-dominated culture for very long, and they have the opportunity to change their minds. In a few years, through constant exposure, they can still develop into the backbone of our new city's development.

Hearing Chu Jingyu's words, Jiang Nian nodded slightly.

Since the young men and women were still a long way from reaching the summit, Chu Jingyu turned his gaze to Chu Shengyu.

Then, his divine sense precisely landed on the small courtyard where Chu Shengyu lived, focusing on the other source beast of Chu Shengyu that was being carefully cared for in the courtyard.

It was a small tree with a very peculiar appearance. Its trunk was no bigger than a hand's breadth, but its thin branches extended far out, with four or five different masks hanging down from the treetop.

The surface was blue, and a misty vapor diffused around it.

Some were red, bright and dazzling, like flames spreading outwards at high temperatures.

There were also jade-colored ones, and the branch that had been dyed became as clear and translucent as crystal.

Various colors and attributes were available, but Chu Jingyu's gaze fell on the fierce mask that seemed to be filled with menacing black energy.

I knew that this was the mask Xiaoyu had been wearing earlier.

6. Path of Enlightenment: When a contractor wears different masks, they will receive certain conditions within the mask. Upon completion, they will receive blessings from the mask (blessings include the application of certain skills, or improvements in their own spiritual power, physique, etc.)

The "Thousand-Faced Tree" has only just reached the next rank, yet it already possesses a rank and even skills of different attributes. It can only be said that it is indeed an ancient race that Xiao Yu brought back from who knows which era.

Moreover, the fact that it was related to the mask reminded Chu Jingyu of Xiao Han. Both were contract masks, but the masks on this Thousand Faces Tree seemed to be quite different from the masks that roamed the Hundred Faces Wasteland.

The masks Xiao Han contracted all possessed specific skills, while the mask provided by the Thousand-Faced Tree seemed to only offer a foundation for an attribute or a direction.

As for what specific skills one can possess, that is something the contractor must figure out for themselves.

It was impossible to say for sure who was good or bad, but looking at that menacing "Evil Spirit Mask," Chu Jingyu felt heavier than ever before.

Xiao Yu is still young, and this mask that amplifies her darker mood should never be used, especially since the task it assigned to her today is to rob someone on the road.

The divine senses that landed next to the "Thousand-Faced Tree" gathered together. At this moment, Chu Jingyu was considering one thing: would cutting off the branch with the "Evil Spirit Mask" hanging on it have a significant impact on the growth of the "Thousand-Faced Tree"?

If he is certain that there will be no impact, he will definitely cut it off without hesitation, since it has always been a hidden danger to Chu Shengyu's growth.

An invisible divine thought condensed in the air into a large, tangible hand, which slowly reached out towards the "Evil Spirit Mask," clearly intending to pluck it from the treetop.

The "Thousand-Faced Tree" trembled slightly with some unease, but just as the giant hand was about to touch the "Evil Spirit Mask," it suddenly turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared into the treetop.

Chu Shengyu turned to look in the direction of the courtyard, as if sensing something. The next second, a fierce mask appeared beside Chu Shengyu, clinging tightly to him, seemingly trembling slightly.

Chu Jingyu walked to Chu Shengyu's side and said softly, "Xiaoyu, give this mask to Grandpa."

Chu Shengyu glanced at the mask beside him, then at his grandfather, and whispered, "Grandpa, what do you need Xiao'e for?"

Well, you even gave it a name, so it seems you've spent quite a bit of time with it.

"I don't want it back, I'm just keeping it with me for now. You can't handle it right now, so I'll give it back to you when you grow up, okay?"

Chu Shengyu frowned. "But Xiao'e said that it will suffer from malnutrition after leaving its mother's body."

"Hmph." Chu Jingyu snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on the mask that was close to Chu Shengyu. "You don't have to give it to me. I'll go to your yard right now and cut off the branch that's growing from it."

The "Evil Spirit Mask," which had been trembling, froze instantly, as if it knew that Chu Jingyu's words were not just a threat, but something it had been preparing to do all along.

It's unclear what message the mask conveyed to Chu Shengyu, but Chu Shengyu eventually nodded and handed the mask to Chu Jingyu.

Chu Jingyu did not catch it, but instead let the mask float in the air. The "Snow Lotus" slowly released cold air from it, covering the mask with a white mist.

Before long, a crystal-clear ice sculpture appeared in the air.

"I know this ice sculpture can't completely control you, but if you dare to leave the ice sculpture, I will find out immediately, and unless there is a special reason, I will cut off your branch immediately."

These words were clearly addressed to the "Evil Spirit Mask" frozen in ice. The black patterns on the "Evil Spirit Mask" flashed a few times, as if in response.

Chu Shengyu gently stroked the mask through the ice sculpture, feeling a pang of reluctance. "You must stay inside and wait for me to grow up and bring you home."

Seeing that the mask was frozen, Jiang Nian's expression relaxed a lot. She had originally planned to go to Xiao Yu's courtyard to take a look, but she didn't expect her father to solve the problem directly.

As darkness fell and the stars and moon began to turn, the sky gradually turned into dawn.

The young men and women gradually arrived at the mountaintop where the Chu family mansion was located.

The arriving boys and girls bowed to Chu Jingyu before standing respectfully in the square, seemingly waiting for his further instructions.
