Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Shengyuan turned around, his gaze fixed on the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit," and asked, "Do you think they should be punished like this?"

The Black Rock Mountain Spirit's lips twitched slightly, then it let out a long sigh and uttered two words helplessly.

"should."

Chu Shengyuan clenched his hands slightly. "Since that's the case, I'll leave the punishment of the other demons who made mistakes to you. I want to know how much of the laws of the new city you, as the deputy city lord, have accepted so far."

With that, Chu Shengyuan walked into Black Rock City.

The Blackrock Mountain Spirit sighed helplessly. This wasn't about knowing how well he understood the law; it was clearly a test of his acceptance of the current form of civilization in Blackrock City.

If the punishment is too lenient, it means that I am still the same kind of person who regards demonic beasts as a superior race.

If he punishes them too severely, he will be sending a signal to the demons in Blackrock City who still harbor some kind of illusion that they have completely submitted. This will give Chu Shengyuan even more terrifying power over the management of Blackrock City in the future.

Over the years, the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit" has practically watched Chu Shengyuan grow from a boy into this young man.

Although he usually seems unruly, he is unusually stubborn on certain matters of principle, and his methods of managing subordinates are becoming more and more sophisticated, sometimes even making him feel a little scared.

It sighed helplessly again and returned to the main hall.

His gaze fell upon the demonic beasts that had erred.

"Lord of the city, you have been handed over to me for disposal."

Upon hearing the words of the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit," a glimmer of hope appeared on the faces of the several demonic beasts kneeling on the ground.

They had lived in Blackrock City for a long time and knew that the "Blackrock Mountain Spirit" was kind to them, and that they were always treated leniently, no matter how big or small their mistakes were.

Hearing these words, they finally recovered from the fear they had felt towards the monsters that were pierced by vines.

"Don't be too happy yet. Things are different now. With laws and regulations in place, you can no longer use the term 'demon love' to justify anything."

Upon hearing the words of the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit," the several demonic beasts felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Before they could even plead for mercy,

The Blackrock Mountain Spirit then continued:

"Since the Ghost Vine has accepted fresh human blood, you will be punished by having one of your descendants each assigned to one of those families to form a contract."

He also distributed several of his own spare vines to several households, and was dismissed from his current position. A six-month observation period followed before a decision was made on whether to reinstate him.

A hint of helplessness flashed deep in the Blackrock Mountain Spirit's eyes. This level of punishment was actually the lightest it could inflict within its capabilities.

Otherwise, this ghost vine would have to be imprisoned and used to produce spiritual items, and would be locked up for ten or eight years.

Even so, this punishment is enough to serve as a warning, preventing other monsters from repeating the same behavior.

"Ghost Vine" lay on the ground, making a sound from an unknown part of its body. "Ghost Vine accepts punishment."

The "Black Rock Mountain Spirit" then looked at the "Frost Snow Ice Demon," who resembled a human woman, and who was bowing her head obediently in repentance.

This caused the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit" to feel conflicted. Logically speaking, it was just cultivating on its own and did not intend to harm anyone, so the degree of punishment was somewhat difficult to control.

"Frosty Ice Demon, considering your past good behavior and the fact that you did not intend to hurt people this time, you should personally go to the families of the injured to apologize and provide appropriate compensation."

Upon hearing the punishment from the "Black Rock Mountain Spirit," the "Frost Snow Ice Demon," whose entire body was as pure white as crystal, raised its head in surprise.

"Vice City Lord, isn't this punishment a bit too lenient? What about the City Lord...?"
