Chapter 5: The Simple Symbolism of the Beast Garden

Several servants are feeding the animals in the cages, and the different animals require different types of food; therefore, each servant is responsible for feeding different animals

Xia Fan looked up in astonishment and saw hundreds of cages of various sizes, haphazardly arranged on a patch of open ground

Bang!

Xia Fan let out a chuckle, took a deep breath, as if even the scent in the air was filled with beauty

The steward bowed at a ninety-degree angle, wearing a fawning smile, and asked in a low and submissive tone

He never expected that he would hear such words

Xia Fan's father, Xia Tianya, as the current patriarch of the Xia family, naturally resides in the most central and core location of the ancestral home. Initially, Xia Fan chose to live in the most remote courtyard within the ancestral home to avoid being closely supervised by his father.

Xia Fan naturally understood the reasons behind this; during the years before his family was exterminated, his conduct in dealing with others was indeed rather absurd.

Birds are generally vibrant and attractive species, while canines mostly have fierce and robust appearances

Therefore, regarding the disdain hidden in the hearts of these servants and the books, Xia Fan did not become angry; in fact, he did not take it to heart at all

After finally regaining her balance, Ya'er turned her head in astonishment, only to find that Xia Fan had already disappeared without a trace, and a charming blush began to appear on her face.

Xia Fan's eyes widened, perfectly embodying the demeanor of a boorish and unreasonable young scion.

Having seen the Second Young Master, may I ask what brings you to the Beast Park today? What would you like to do? I just bought two new fighting dogs for you yesterday; would you like to see them compete?

As for other animals, the variety is quite complex

The fact is indeed true

Several servants of the Xia family around could not help but shudder upon seeing Xia Fan's smile, instinctively lowering their heads even further, while silently lamenting in their hearts, wondering what harmful and mischievous idea this young scion had come up with this time

To travel from his residence to his father's residence, one essentially has to traverse half the distance of the entire Xia family estate

I am afraid that even such a small beast park has quite a few things to explore

Reflecting on the picture book now, I realize that my demands at that time truly saddened my father

While engaged in self-reflection, a sudden cacophony of mixed insect chirps and animal sounds filled my ears

From the perspective of other family members, this Beast Park serves no purpose other than to waste a significant amount of money. Spending money in such a frivolous place is far less practical than using those funds to help the family recruit a few capable martial artists.

Over the years, this person in charge, in collaboration with their beloved elder brother, has no idea how much mud has been thrown at them.

After Xia Fan left his residence, he encountered quite a number of family servants along the way

In his youth, like all the young scions, he enjoyed various kinds of thrilling beast-fighting competitions. This so-called Beast Arena was designated as a place to house the beasts he had raised for fighting.

A multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind. Xia Fan squinted his eyes slightly and suddenly chuckled, placing his hands behind his back. He then began to walk forward with a swagger, boldly declaring: "I, the young master, am not here to watch the beast fights today. I find this beast fighting to be rather boring; it is merely a child's play, unworthy of my current status. Therefore, I shall dismantle this Beast Garden! From now on, in our Xia family, there shall be no more existence of such nonsensical places as the Beast Garden!"

There will be no more!

Xia Fan scratched his head, carefully recalling his actions during the years before his family was exterminated, and increasingly felt that he was truly a worthless person back then

It is precisely because of this Beast Park that the dissatisfaction of those in the family towards him has nearly reached its peak

Because his current mood is simply too good

Xia Fan finally realized what this so-called Beast Park was all about

Ah?

There was also a steward-like man standing nearby, supervising several servants as they fed. The moment Xia Fan appeared, he immediately caught the steward's attention, and soon the steward came running towards Xia Fan with a beaming smile.

In a low voice, she muttered something, and Ya'er, puzzled, touched her slightly flushed cheeks. Only then did she quietly stand at the entrance of the house, lost in thought.

The young master is truly something, always so glib-tongued all day long, lacking any proper demeanor. However, it seems that the young master has indeed changed a bit, hasn't he? At least... how is it that suddenly he doesn't seem so annoying anymore?

Is there anything that can bring more joy than this

The reality is always far removed from what people take for granted, and the affairs of the world are often so wondrous

Walking at a leisurely pace, Xia Fan was in an exceptionally bright mood as he admired this quite spacious home, guided by the memories in his mind

The steward was taken aback, seeing that Xia Fan seemed to be making a scene. He hurriedly nodded and said, "I understand, I understand. However... Second Young Master, regarding this matter... would you consider it again? At the beginning, you put in a great deal of effort to establish this Hundred Beasts Garden. To withdraw it so easily now would not only be a loss in general, but just considering the rare birds and exotic beasts in the garden, it would also be a significant loss..."

Xia Fan was momentarily taken aback, and for a moment, she was somewhat at a loss for a response

After personally encountering death, I found that not only was I not dead, but I also had the opportunity to make amends for those mistakes and shortcomings that had caused me lifelong regrets

However, despite the fact that these servants all respectfully bowed to him upon seeing him, their attitudes beyond reproach, Xia Fan could still clearly see disdain and contempt in their eyes.

The steward was instantly taken aback, and the ingratiating smile that had been plastered on his face froze in place.

No matter what, I just hope it doesn't fall upon me

What is it! Can't you understand what your young master is saying

At that time, Xia Fan did not consider these matters at all; all that mattered was that he had fun.

Around this open space, there are also some rolled-up canvases, clearly intended to provide shelter for these cages during rain.

However, it is evident that the current Xifan is no longer so foolish. Moreover, if I remember correctly, the person in charge of the Beast Park before me seems to be a trusted confidant of my elder brother

The cages contain a variety of animals, among which birds and dogs are the most numerous

The steward was bending down with a submissive demeanor, persuading gently, when before his words had fully settled, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to his abdomen, causing him to let out a cry of agony and sit down abruptly on the ground
