Stop Eyeing My Pretty Caretaker - Chapter 22

Chapter 22

The little phoenix nudged Jian Chen’s chin with its beak and rubbed against his fingers. Seeing the youth remain unresponsive, it let out an anxious cry.

Jian Chen felt as if his eyelids weighed a thousand pounds.

He knew clearly that now was not the time to sleep, but his taut nerves were being forcibly invaded by a heavy drowsiness; he couldn’t even lift a finger.

Dazed, Jian Chen thought: As expected of the high-efficiency anesthetic specially made by the research institute.

First, it would restrict a beast’s movement, then shut down vision and hearing, and finally deprive the subject of consciousness.

Simultaneously, the anesthetic was non-toxic and harmless; one would wake up naturally after three hours, restored to normal. While stopping accidents, it minimized harm to endangered species.

Unfortunately, such a great thing… was actually used on himself!

Even the vultures were probably confused.

Where was that vulture? Did it stop giving chase?

Jian Chen suddenly remembered that, in his daze, he seemed to have captured a name or rather, an address.

…

Brother?

Is it Jian Yu?

When that name popped into his head, Jian Chen felt he must be going crazy.

By all logic, Jian Yu shouldn’t be here.

But as if refusing to believe in ghosts, he still tested the waters and asked softly: “Xiao Yu?”

“Mhm, I’m here,” the other party replied quickly.

Jian Yu had completely transformed back into his dragon form, and Jian Chen was held within the giant dragon’s claws.

Perhaps the voice wasn’t quite right—the voice of a human in their beast state is more majestic, different from Jian Yu’s own voice.

Moreover, there had never been a precedent on Earth where a human could freely switch between their form and a beast state; it sounded like a fairy tale or a myth. Thus, Jian Chen couldn’t immediately connect this giant dragon with his brother. The impact was simply too great.

His heart refused to believe this fact, but his remaining clear logic told him he needed to get down.

Yestin and Dun Dun were both waiting for him.

Jian Chen bit his tongue and found he could still speak, so he forced out the syllables: “Put me down, Xiao Yu.”

“No.” Jian Yu’s voice was gentle, but the refusal left no room for negotiation.

The voice continued: “Now, we are going to the Military Headquarters.”

“!!”

Jian Chen’s eyes jolted in shock. In his panic, he grabbed the dragon’s claw, only to slide down slowly.

His strength was fading. The youth could no longer speak, and his remaining sense of hearing was blurred and distant. Jian Chen knew the anesthetic had taken full effect.

“What’s wrong? Don’t want me to meet my sister-in-law?”

“But Brother got married behind my back. The wedding didn’t even have an invitation for your brother.”

The black dragon sliced through the sky, casting a shadow over the firmament. People on the ground widened their eyes, pointing at the sky in shock.

Seeing that Jian Chen had gone silent, the giant dragon spread its wings and increased its speed.

“Don’t worry, I don’t want a frontal conflict either.”

Jian Yu paused and laughed softly: “After all, I care very much about Brother’s feelings.”

“I’ll get my people back, and then we’ll go back to Planet Tar, okay?”

The youth did not respond; he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Vice Executive Officer Yu arrived at the destroyed air defense station with his subordinates.

In just one night, this aerial reconnaissance fortress had been burned to a crisp by fire. Strangely, before being destroyed, the air defense station had sent an “all normal” signal to headquarters.

To send such a realistic fake signal, the user must have been so familiar with the buttons, sky imagery, and surveillance monitors that it was second nature to them.

In other words…

“Vice Officer, we have confirmed that the Tar person, Jian Yu, served in the military for three years before immigrating.” A subordinate in an officer’s uniform spoke seriously, reporting the intelligence to Vice Officer Yu piece by piece.

“At that time, he wasn’t called Jian Yu. His name was… White Night.”

“No honors or promotions. He was just an obscure reconnaissance soldier.”

“He trained and lived in the air defense station, Military District 1, and District 2.”

“The purpose of this landing on Earth is unknown, but we suspect it is related to that vial of White Tiger gene injected into the Chief.”

“No.”

The Vice Executive Officer held his forehead and immediately rejected the idea: “That’s not his purpose.”

After pondering for a while, Vice Officer Yu suddenly looked up and asked: “Have there been any abnormalities at the Endangered Species Research Institute?”

The officer was stunned by the question: “The Institute?”

“…”

Sweat suddenly broke out on Vice Officer Yu’s forehead.

Regarding this raid, although there was no evidence, Vice Officer Yu had a strong premonition: Jian Yu was coming for the Chief’s wife!

He quickly left the air defense station and ordered his subordinates: “Go report to the Chief! I will personally confirm the situation at the Institute. Quick! Go now!”

Military District 1 Headquarters.

The area for detaining prisoners was located on the first basement level, right behind the training grounds. All prisoners underwent gene testing, and after confirming they had no special abilities, they were detained together under strict guard.

The Tar people who appeared at the wedding were all imprisoned here.

On the air defense tower, officers began their handover at 8:30.

The old officer who had just finished the night shift yawned and patted the newcomer on the shoulder: “No abnormalities.”

The recruit nodded.

He straightened his uniform and stood in the air defense tower. The monitoring equipment in front of him flickered with light, monitoring all aerial movements within three kilometers.

Suddenly, on the southwest side of the dashboard, a flashing light appeared.

Recruit: “?”

Astonishingly, the light moved extremely fast. A few seconds ago, it was three kilometers away. By the time he reacted and pressed the alarm bell, the light was only 1.5 kilometers away from Military District 1!

The recruit reacted quickly. Accompanied by the loud ringing of the alarm, the Military Headquarters was awakened in the early morning.

The wind whistled past piercingly. The black dragon narrowed its eyes, looking down at the chaos on the ground, which seemed exceptionally small.

The next second, he lowered his wings and dove toward the training grounds of the Military Headquarters!

The officers and soldiers of District 1 were indeed the top-tier configuration; they were well-trained and reacted quickly.

Jian Yu found that soldiers around the training ground quickly raised their rifles. High-impact bullets, accompanied by sparks, sped toward his direction.

The black dragon hid Jian Chen beneath his scales, not letting a single sliver of him be exposed.

The bullets hit the black dragon’s scales and wings but had no effect at all, rolling off one after another.

The giant dragon crashed into the training grounds, diving with a clear objective. The next second, sparks erupted from its mouth, and raging flames gushed out!

The soldiers dodged urgently, but inevitably, some had their clothes caught on fire, and some had their hats ignited, rolling on the ground with screams in an attempt to extinguish the fire.

The flames burned through the ground, and the first basement level was soon exposed to the dragon’s vision.

The District 1 soldiers were forced to stop firing.

Because this giant dragon seemed to be carrying a person who was unconscious.

Jian Yu had already reverted to his human form. Wearing a black mask, he jumped into the first basement level.

His gaze landed on the heavily guarded cages. The youth did not hesitate; he reached out and grabbed the iron bars with both hands. The edges of the bars began to loosen, and soon, the screws began to crumble. The fence enclosing the prisoners was torn apart just like that!

Several subordinates, led by the one with long hair, woke up from the darkness.

Their faces were filled with terror. After seeing who had come, their voices trembled with surprise: “Mr… Mr. Jian Yu…”

“Get out.”

Mr. Jian Yu seemed to smile. His expression under the mask was hard to see clearly, but his tone remained gentle: “You bunch of useless trash.”
