Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

The commotion in the courtyard disturbed Father Chu and Mrs. Chu, who were preparing lunch.

The two hurried into the courtyard, still wearing their aprons.

When they saw the newly hatched Shadow Kill, they quickly approached it.

The Shadow Kill of this size was quite cute; it looked at the two strangers before it without any fear, instead examining them with interest.

Father Chu and Mrs. Chu immediately burst into smiles, and Mrs. Chu held the Shadow Kill in her arms and played with it for a while.

The Shadow Golden Mantis observed silently from the side without any displeasure.

They had been getting along quite well during this time.

Since Chu Chen told his parents about the Shadow Golden Mantis, Mrs. Chu sympathized with it.

The Shadow Golden Mantis had always lived in the Secret Realm; it never harmed anyone, and after meeting Chu Chen, Father Chu and Mrs. Chu believed it wouldn't intentionally harm humans in the future.

Without racial hatred, there was naturally no barrier in their interactions.

In truth, the one most hoping for the Shadow Golden Mantis to stay was Father Chu. It was a Lord-Level Star Beast, and looking across Celestial Star City, such strength was High Rank Combat Power. With it around, Father Chu never needed to worry about Mrs. Chu's safety during missions.

In the blink of an eye, night had fallen. Throughout the day, the family played with Shadow Kill, the little fellow incredibly excited.

With the Wind of Recovery from Chu Chen, its energy was exceptionally vigorous; whenever it got tired from playing, a short rest would almost fully rejuvenate it, much to the frustration of the Shadow Golden Mantis.

Taking care of a child wasn't easy; what typically took years of care and fatigue, they completed in just one day.

The Shadow Golden Mantis could only let its child play with Lei Yao and Nirvana while sneaking away to rest.

Initially, Lei Yao was extremely excited, but after playing with Shadow Kill for a while, it realized how troublesome it was.

In the end, it had to pass the task of babysitting to Nirvana.

Its character was steadfast and its emotions stable; no matter how Shadow Kill stirred things up, it showed not an ounce of impatience. It turned out to be the ultimate babysitter, much to the delight of the Shadow Golden Mantis watching from afar.

At the dining table in the living room.

Father Chu took out a bottle of wine and poured for his wife and son.

He raised his cup and said with a smile, "Come, it's New Year's Eve today, let's have a drink together."

Chu Chen and his mother promptly responded.

The clink of glasses sounded, and the fiery liquid went down his throat, causing Chu Chen to cough involuntarily.

In such times, being able to gather as a family and celebrate is what most families yearn for.

Chu Chen's family cherished the moment of reunion, and the meal took a whole hour to finish.

Being so joyful today, Father Chu drank a few extra cups, a hint of blush creeping onto his face.

He raised his cup again and said, "These years, your mom has been working hard. My profession is quite special, with little time to take care of the family, all handled solely by your mom." With that, he tilted his head back and downed the cup.

Mrs. Chu was deeply moved by his words, hurriedly grabbing the cup from Father Chu's hands, fearing he might drink too much.

At this moment, Chu Chen took out two belts from the Spatial Ring and handed them to his parents.

"Dad, Mom, these are my New Year's gifts for you," Chu Chen said with a smile.

Father Chu and Mrs. Chu exchanged looks before accepting them; gifts from their son, they naturally wouldn't refuse.

Father Chu examined the belt carefully for a long time, somewhat unsure, asking, "Son, is this a Space Belt?"

Mrs. Chu also turned her gaze to her son upon hearing this.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, there are gifts within the belts; take them out and have a look."

The two were momentarily taken aback; such Space Equipment was extremely expensive, in Celestial Star City, only high officials of major families could own them.

"Son, it's too valuable, we can't accept it; you should return it, we can't help much with your cultivation, keep the money for your own use," Mrs. Chu quickly declined.

"Mom, have you forgotten I earned fifty million in Black Mist City?" Chu Chen reminded her with a smile.

Mrs. Chu was momentarily stunned, having forgotten this detail in her haste; the Space Belt was indeed precious, but with her son's current financial capacity, he could afford it.

With this in mind, Mrs. Chu accepted the Space Belt.

She fondled the belt in her hands, her eyes filled with joy, finding it far more delightful than any branded bag.

Father Chu eagerly strapped on the Space Belt and even stood in front of a mirror to admire himself.

It took a whole fifteen minutes for their excitement to calm down.

Of these two Space Belts, one belonged to Chu Chen himself, while the other belonged to Li Yichen, and the Spatial Ring he was using was Li Yifei's.

With Zhang Kun caught, the Li Family's situation wasn't much better, and moreover, this was Celestial Star City; using Li Yifei's Spatial Ring wouldn't cause any trouble.

At this moment, the two recalled there were gifts in the Space Belts.

Without any hesitation, they took out all the items from the Space Belts.

Mrs. Chu's gift was a Beast Taming Egg and more than ten plant-type Star Treasures, all alive.

Mrs. Chu examined the Beast Taming Egg and inquired, "Son, is this for me?"

"Of course, it's a Flower Fairy Beast Taming Egg. Although it's only Elite Level Upper Grade, it's a functional Beast, capable of helping Beast Masters cultivate plants."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu beamed with joy; functional Beasts were quite rare, as without sufficient combat power, Star Beasts struggled to survive in the wild.

For functional Star Beasts to survive in the wild was even more challenging; their self-preservation skills must be strong, meaning they are difficult to capture.

Mrs. Chu looked at the gifts on the table with excitement, her heart filled with immense joy.

At this moment, Father Chu also took out his gift.

His gift was likewise a Beast Taming Egg and Wind-Fire Dual Element Cultivation Resources.

Before Father Chu could inquire, he grinned and said, "Dad, it's a Perfect Level Upper Grade Hurricane Fire Eagle Beast Taming Egg."

Hearing this, Father Chu's face lit up with surprise; he had just broken through to Soul Master Level recently, and his third Guardian Beast hadn't been contracted yet. He had planned to save up and choose a Perfect Level Middle Grade Beast from the association, but unexpectedly, his son brought him a Perfect Level Upper Grade Beast Taming Egg.

Once hatched, wouldn't it make his colleagues envious?

With this thought, Father Chu's grin widened, and he quickly said to Mrs. Chu, "I'm happy today, I will drink a bit more."

Mrs. Chu retorted with a playful grin, "You have the nerve to drink; your son's Realm has caught up with yours. What have you done with the past twenty years."

Father Chu wasn't upset upon hearing this; he understood Mrs. Chu was joking.

Father Chu proudly retorted, "That's because my genes are good; otherwise, he'd never cultivate so fast. Besides, what's the use of him cultivating fast; if I punish him, he wouldn't dare retaliate."

Mrs. Chu replied with a laugh, "He wouldn't dare retaliate, but you try touching him."

Watching his playful parents, Chu Chen couldn't help but smile.

What is happiness? This is happiness.
