Chapter 285: Past Events (Abyss)
"That's easy. My opinion is the same as theirs. As long as there's no problem on your end, it'll be fine. But there's a question I need to ask."
Chen Yue put down his teacup, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. "Your child shouldn't be very rebellious, right?"
When the head of the Kamisato family heard this question, he couldn't help but laugh. "You worry too much. Although our children are not perfect, they have been brought up very strictly. They know their identities and responsibilities since they were young and have deep feelings for the family. They will definitely not rebel, and will not refuse such a marriage that is of great benefit to them and the family."
Chen Yue nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face: "That's good. Although these two children of mine are not my own, I have always treated them as my own, and they are also very sensible. I believe that they will be able to live in harmony with your children and bring prosperity to both families."
The head of the Kamisato family nodded and said yes, then asked, "Then how should we handle this matter next?"
Chen Yue pondered for a moment and said, "We shouldn't rush this matter. We need to communicate with the children first and listen to their opinions. If they have no objection, we can choose a date to hold the engagement ceremony. How about that?"
The head of the Kamisato family agreed: "That's great. I'll send someone to inform them about this so they can be mentally prepared."
At this point, Chen Yue no longer had any worries. All he needed to do now was to wait. Wait for the two to grow up, wait for the number of people in his school to increase, and then everything would be done.
......
More than ten years passed.
"Hum, hum, hum..." Humming a little tune leisurely in the study of the castle tower, Chen Yue has led a very leisurely life in recent years.
The people under his command have already taken shape, and most of them were recruited by him personally.
He left most of his work to his subordinates. Chen Yue only needed to slack off every day and check if there were any refreshed NPCs on the roadside and whether he could pick up a few more children.
"Well, ah! So boring, let's go see what it really does."
Chen Yue stretched and rubbed his sore arms, then stood up and prepared to go to Zhen's room.
"Hey, wife, what are you doing? Well, you're not here?" Pushing open the door of Zhen's room, Chen Yue found that there was no one in the house.
Just as he was wondering, there were hurried footsteps at the door.
"Yue, something happened!" Zhen hurriedly ran to Chen Yue with unprecedented anxiety on his face.
Seeing this, Chen Yue's heart tightened, and he just opened his mouth to ask, "What's the matter?"
Shin took a deep breath and tried to calm his panic. "Chiyo encountered a black creature in the Guardian Forest that looked like a dog but could fly."
Hearing this, Chen Yue instantly lost his composure. It looked like a dog, but it was completely black and could fly! Wasn't this a hound from the Beast Realm?
A component of the dark disaster and the direct cause of the deaths of Torachiyo and Kitsunari.
"Chiyo, is she okay?"
There was a slight tremor in Chen Yue's voice. He knew the danger of these creatures. Not only did they have powerful combat capabilities, they also carried deadly curses.
"She's fine. She captured the species by the way, but she said that the dog-like thing looked very weak, like it was looking for something." Zhen tried her best to make her voice sound calm, but she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.
"Weak?" Chen Yue frowned. This situation seemed a little unusual. Beast Realm Hounds were creations of alchemy. They were usually full of wildness and strength, and rarely weak.
"Yes, she said its eyes were full of confusion and anxiety, as if it was looking for something." Zhen added.
Chen Yue was silent for a moment, then raised his head, with a determined light in his eyes. "Where is Chiyo now?"
"She placed the strange creature in a makeshift cage in the open space next to the Guardian Forest." Zhen answered, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice, and she was obviously worried about this unknown creature.
Chen Yue did not hesitate, turned around and walked out of the room, and then flashed to the Guardian Forest. He knew very well that this seemingly weak beast hound might hide a huge crisis.
Torachiyo's busy figure could be seen from afar. She was busy in a simple cage made of branches and vines, and in the cage was the pitch-black beast hound.
Chen Yue approached the cage and observed the creature carefully. It did look like a dog, but it was larger, with black fur and eyes full of confusion and anxiety.
"Chiyo, what do you think happened to this creature?" Chen Yue asked in a deep voice.
Tiger Chiyo looked up at Chen Yue, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Yue, why are you here? This creature is very strange. It looks very weak, but it doesn't seem to be injured..."
With one kick, Chen Yue crushed the beast hound's head, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, splashing on the surrounding trees and the ground, forming a shocking red.
"Damn it, why is it here now? Shouldn't it appear in a few hundred years?"
Torachiyo was stunned by this sudden action, her eyes widened, her lips trembling, unable to speak. Chen Yue withdrew his foot expressionlessly, looking at the beast hound that had stopped struggling, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
"Yue, you..." Hu Chiyo finally found her voice, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chen Yue.
"Qiandai, you don't know." Chen Yue's voice was low and firm. "This kind of creature is the product of alchemy. They were created for fighting and killing. Although this beast hound looks weak, no one can guarantee that it will not suddenly attack and hurt people. I can't let you take risks."
Hu Chiyo was stunned. She watched Chen Yue's back gradually go away, and her heart was full of confusion and doubt. She didn't understand why Chen Yue was so wary of this seemingly harmless puppy, and even went so far as to argue with her. But she also knew that Chen Yue had always been a cautious person, and he must have his reasons for doing so.
"I'll take you back to the castle tower first. I have a vague feeling that this is the beginning of something. Please be careful during this time."
"What about you?" Torachiyo asked worriedly.
"I still have some things to take care of." Chen Yue didn't turn around, but his voice was clearly heard by Hu Qiandai, "Don't worry about me, I will be careful."
As they spoke, Chen Yue and Hu Chiyo quickly disappeared into the Guardian Forest.
