Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Qinhui was stunned for a moment, his mouth opened and closed, but he didn't know what to say.

Chu Jingyu stopped and turned to face Chu Qinhui. "Take Xiaohan back first and protect her while she signs the contract."

Hearing that his father meant goodbye, Chu Qinhui quickly asked, "Father, where are you going?"

"It's time to get to the bottom of what happened in Chenliu Village." A dangerous glint flashed in Chu Jingyu's eyes.

……

A customer arrived at Jinbao Auto Shop, the only auto shop in Heyu Town.

The elderly man, with his white hair and simple clothes, possessed an extraordinary demeanor that inspired awe in the people at the car dealership.

The guest spent ten taels of silver to rent a top-of-the-line carriage, but only gave the name of an upper village below Heyu Town.

"Take me to Chenliu Village."

After saying this, the guest got into the carriage and never appeared again.

The guest was generous, so the carriage company staff naturally followed their instructions. Although it was almost noon, the driver only took two dry biscuits and hurriedly set off with the carriage.

Chenliu Village is considered one of the closer villages to the town, only about ten miles away. The driver estimated that it would take about half an hour to get there, and even longer if he was in a hurry.

However, the guests did not urge them, so the driver did not rush. The journey was not far, and it was more important for the guests to be comfortable in the carriage.

Strangely, there was no wind along the way, but there was a constant flow of air into the carriage, as if something inside was drawing in the surrounding air.

Moreover, the driver could hear a strong and powerful "thump, thump, thump" of drumsticks, or perhaps an amplified heartbeat.

Along the road, a village nestled against a valley came into view in the distance. Under the watchful eyes of the villagers at the village entrance, the coachman slowly brought the carriage to a stop.

He dared not look into the carriage, and stiffly called out, "Honored guest, we have arrived at Chenliu Village."

The airflow rushing into the carriage from all sides gradually stopped, and the air around the carriage returned to calm. A steady voice came from inside the carriage.

"Go directly to the village chief's house."

"Yes." The coachman dared not question it and drove the carriage directly into the village.

It wasn't until after passing through the entire village, at the very end of the journey and at the entrance to the valley, that the VIPs in the carriage reached their destination.

It was an extremely spacious house, with blue bricks and red tiles. The four-meter-wide gate was flanked by stone lions. Judging from its size, it did not seem like a residence that a village chief could live in.

Moreover, there were two guards standing at the entrance. Although they were just ordinary people, in some ways, this place was more like a family of contract masters than the Chu family compound.

Upon seeing the horse-drawn carriage stop at the gate, the guards immediately stepped forward and called out to the driver, "May I ask which esteemed guest has come to visit?"

The driver looked bewildered. He had no idea who the important person inside the carriage was, but blocking the entrance to Chenliu Village Chief's house like this wasn't a good idea.

After all, everyone in the town knew that the village chiefs of the villages left behind by the Liu family were all contract masters of different ranks. In the eyes of ordinary people like them, they were of noble status and absolutely could not be provoked.

"Summon your village chief to come out and see me."

The guard's expression changed slightly, and many guesses flashed in his eyes. "I wonder which lord you are? Could you please tell me your name so that I can inform my master?"

The fact that the guard is addressed as "Master" instead of "Village Chief" suggests that he may not be a resident of Chenliu Village.

"I come from the Chu family, the main family of Chenliu Village." The person in the carriage did not show his face, but his calm and unquestionable voice drifted out.

A slight chuckle flashed in the guard's eyes. So it was the Chu family. He had thought it was that important figure in town.

"Could you please move the car to one side and not block the door? I'll go in and let you know."

The coachman raised the reins to urge the horse to one side, but a moment later a large golden pincer emerged from behind the curtain.

"Wait here."

The driver glanced at the large pliers beside him, swallowed nervously, and dared not move.

The guard glanced nervously at the golden pincers peeking out from behind the curtain, quickly took a few steps back, opened the mahogany door, and hurried off to report.

Inside the village chief's study in Chenliu Village, upon hearing the guard's report at the door, a gaunt man with slanted eyes waved his hand dismissively.

"They won't even get out of the carriage, and expect me to go and greet him? The Chu family really has a lot of face. They're just a newly promoted ninth-rank poor family. Even their patriarch is only at the same level as me."

"How dare you humiliate me like this! If you want to wait, then let him wait outside."

After saying that, he slammed the book in his hand onto the table, stood up, and walked towards the garden in the courtyard.

The guard in charge of reporting bit his finger. As an ordinary person, he didn't want to go out and face the contract master in the carriage. Since the master had said so, he would just stay in the courtyard for now.

Outside the mahogany gate, seeing that the guard had not returned for a long time, Chu Jingyu, sitting in the carriage, knew exactly what the village chief of Chenliu Village meant.

The coachman, sitting outside the carriage, heard a soft chuckle from inside. "Since the village chief isn't coming out to greet me, let's go in and have him greet us. Jin Yu, lead the way."

As soon as the words were spoken, a golden and jade-colored source beast jumped down from the carriage. Its pincers were slightly raised, supporting the two walls of the mahogany door. Under a golden light, it slowly turned into a pile of golden sand.

Then it reappeared on the road in front of the carriage, reforming into a solid, flat surface.

With the door no longer supported, it collapsed to the ground with a loud bang.

The entrance wall in the courtyard was instantly exposed in front of the carriage.

"Let's keep going."

This was said to both the coachman and the "golden-armored, jade-eyed beast" in front of the carriage.

The other guard seemed stunned by what he saw, standing there dumbfounded.

The driver fared slightly better, though his trembling hands showed he was also quite alarmed by the situation.

However, the voices of the distinguished guests in the carriage brought him back to his senses, allowing him to calmly continue urging the horses toward the courtyard that revealed the way forward.

Thus, the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" led the way, with the carriage following slowly behind, all the way to the central hall of the courtyard.

The owner of this courtyard, a thin middle-aged man, sensed the commotion and went to the main hall, where he saw...

A source beast wielding pincers and covered in golden armor and jade patterns shook its head in front of the gate, while a carriage bearing the logo of Jinbao Carriage Company quietly drove by in the courtyard.

Chen Chengwen raised one arm, staring angrily at the avenue that led directly to the road.

He was about to say something, but after sensing the level of the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast," he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"So, only when I arrive here will the village chief personally come to greet me?"
