Eternal Beast Taming Family

While the family was stunned, Chu Jingyu put one arm around Chu Shengyuan and walked to the main seat in the room to sit down.

"Why are you all standing there like that? Today is a family reunion dinner, so be happy."

A bitter smile played on Chu Qinhui's lips. "Father, your arm."

"What's a broken arm? It's good enough that I'm alive," Chu Jingyu said with a very magnanimous attitude.

"From now on, no one is allowed to mention this arm, understand?"

Chu Jingyu didn't want his family to have a tense and awkward atmosphere because of the arm issue, so he used his authority as the head of the family to tell everyone not to mention the matter again.

Seeing that everyone else remained silent, Chu Jingyu smiled again and said, "Sit down and eat first."

In the somewhat somber atmosphere, Xu Yinyue's voice suddenly rang out, "Didn't my grandfather come back with you?"

She looked nervously at the dignified Chu Jingyu, and mustered her courage to ask the question.

Chu Jingyu had never seen this little girl before, and his eyes naturally showed doubt. "Whose little girl is this?"

Chu Qinhui explained from the side, "Xu Yinghui's granddaughter has come to see her grandfather several times already."

Chu Jingyu suddenly realized, then sighed, stood up and came to the little girl's side, "Your grandfather died in the Cold Howling Ice Valley. I'm sorry I didn't bring his body back."

"So it really is in the Icefield Valley?" Xu Yinyue murmured. Although she had already seen the scene and was mentally prepared,

However, after confirming the result with Chu Jingyu, tears still involuntarily streamed down her face.

Chu Jingyu didn't understand why she said "as expected," but continued, "Before your grandfather died, he entrusted my Chu family to take good care of you. From now on, you will stay with our Chu family."

"It just so happens that our Chu family has few daughters, so it wouldn't be bad for her to be my goddaughter."

Xu Yinyue was unsure what to do. She bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. However, I am very confused and don't know how to respond. Could you please wait until I return and think it over before giving me an answer?"

Chu Jingyu raised his eyes. She was indeed a clever and quick-witted child, not much different from his own Xiao Fan. He smiled and nodded.

"Alright, go back and think it over carefully. But as for me, I really like you very much, and I will definitely treat you like my own granddaughter from now on."

Xu Yinyue curtsied again, looked around, and said, "I have some things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Knowing that she needed time alone to vent her emotions after receiving news of her grandfather's death, Chu Jingyu did not insist that she stay. He nodded and let her leave.

First, a small head popped out from the flat ground, and then the "ginseng baby" with its emerald green leaves on its head jumped out from the ground.

Beside Chu Shengfan, the "Flower Medicine Butterfly" also appeared, fluttering its wings.

The father and son exchanged a glance, seemingly having the same idea.

"Father, let them treat you."

Chu Jingyu glanced at the food that was about to get cold, sighed, and said, "Come on, come on."

The "Flower Medicine Butterfly" flew from Chu Shengfan's side to Chu Jingyu's side. It fluttered its wings around Chu Jingyu, and pinkish-purple dust fell from between its wings onto Chu Jingyu's body, then dissolved on his body, healing the external wounds hidden under his robe.

"Ginseng Baby" hopped to Chu Jingyu's feet, then climbed up his legs to his shoulder.

It reached up with its hands and plucked two bright green leaves from the top of its head, then brought them to Chu Jingyu's mouth so he could eat them.

Then, it placed its hands on Chu Jingyu's chest, closed its eyes, and gathered a little bit of emerald green spiritual light between its small palms. After a moment, a wisp of dark and turbid aura was drawn out from Chu Jingyu's chest and then condensed into a small poison pill between the "Ginseng Baby's" palms.

Upon seeing the black poison pill, Chu Jingyu's face showed surprise. He himself had not even realized that he had been poisoned without his knowledge.

After the two source beasts finished healing him, Chu Jingyu summoned his injured "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" and "White-browed Mountain Eagle".

The "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" was in slightly better condition, with only external injuries. Part of its shell was broken, revealing the bloody, soft flesh inside.

The "Flower Medicine Butterfly" and the "Ginseng Baby" took turns working, and in a short while, the bloody soft flesh became smooth and returned to its original rosy color. The white jade and golden armor attached to the outside was also slowly repaired.

The listless and dejected "White-browed Mountain Eagle" left the two source beasts, who were skilled in healing, somewhat helpless. Its physical injuries were easy to heal, but its mental trauma was beyond repair.

Chu Jingyu sighed. The mental trauma suffered by the "White-browed Mountain Eagle" was to protect him from the mental impact of the "Illusory Crystal Ice Demon".

There are no source beasts at home that can treat mental ailments, so it seems I'll have to go to town tomorrow to personally pay my respects to Sun Chunchen and see if this old man has any solutions.

Chu Jingyu did not return the "White-browed Mountain Eagle" to the Source Beast Space. Instead, he took out a quilt, made a nest on the chair next to him, and put it in the nest.

Then, he took out the calming ornament from the table next to him, hoping that its calming fragrance would have some effect on it.

Upon smelling the calming aroma, the White-browed Eagle visibly relaxed a little.

Chu Jingyu gently stroked the feathers on the wings of the "White-browed Mountain Eagle" before returning to his seat and inviting his family to sit down and enjoy the now-cold reunion dinner, the last of the year 3397.

That night, Chu Qinhui drank a lot of wine and became somewhat drunk. He looked at the wine glass in his hand with a slightly hazy gaze.

We should be happy, at least our father has returned safely, and at least our family is still intact.

After finishing their New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Nian helped the somewhat drunk Chu Qinhui back to his room to rest.

Chu Shengfan was taken to the ancestral hall by Chu Jingyu.

Chu Shenghan brought some food to find Xu Yinyue.

For a moment, Chu Shengyuan was the only one left in the huge central hall. He looked around blankly and pouted somewhat childishly.

Then he glanced in the direction of the back mountain. Sen Sen and Jing Jing (the Wood Spirit Crystal Pattern Python) must be quite bored in the back mountain. Why not go find them and play?

Without thinking, he secretly climbed over the wall from the back door and went out without alerting the gatekeeper.

Although it was late, the thick layer of snow on the ground made it possible to see in the pitch-black back mountain. Coupled with the excellent physical qualities of a mid-level mortal contract master, Chu Shengyuan ran wildly through the forest like a frolicking rabbit, oblivious to fear.

In the pitch-black mountain ravine, a python with a bluish-gray body, about four or five meters long, lay coiled and resting, seemingly sensing something.

He raised his head from his lying position and looked alertly toward the mountainside.

Sensing its movement, the other giant python, with its blue stripes and fragments of crystal embedded in its body, raised its head with some confusion and looked around warily.

Sensing no danger, it tilted its head and bumped the neck of the python in front of it.

"Hiss hiss hiss"

The grayish-blue python hissed, as if communicating with the crystal-patterned python beside it, and then the crystal-patterned python's eyes brightened.

Two pythons, one after the other, slithered away from the ravine and crawled towards the mountainside.
