Beastmastering: The Best Master Ever!

20 My Pretty Bodyguard

Chen Qiyue held his breath and looked at Jiang Suoqing thoughtfully.

“What if I insist on keeping this egg myself?”

Jiang Suoqing smiled. “You can’t keep it. If you want to obtain the reward, you can only exchange this Fantastic Beast egg.”

“And you haven’t met the standard to sign it, have you?”

Chen Qiyue’s eyes flickered.

He was here for protection. Those people only knew that the egg was with him, so they came to find him.

Jiang Suoqing and the others obviously wanted this egg too. If the egg was with him, they would increase the defense around him to protect the egg.

However, there were pros and cons.

In doing so, he would be drawn into the center of the battle, which went against the original purpose for which he had sought help.

Chen Qiyue glanced at the crowd around him.

Obviously, these people would not easily agree to let him bring the egg back.

Since that was the case, he had to maximize the benefits.

Most importantly, there was no hint appearing on the egg yet.

In other words, this egg did not belong to him, or someone unknown judged that this egg would not belong to him.

As for this Fantastic Beast egg, he didn’t really care about it. Since that was the case…

Chen Qiyue took a deep breath and said, “I can give the Fantastic Beast egg to you, but I have a few small requests…”

Jiang Suoqing’s eyes flashed with surprise. He had thought that this child would choose to keep the Fantastic Beast egg by his side.

If those people really came to snatch the egg, they would definitely only be able to ensure the egg’s safety. As for Chen Qiyue…

What a smart little fellow.

The next morning, a huge piece of news appeared in all the major media outlets.

“A few days ago, there was a large-scale battle in the Double Purple Illusion Realm. The Poker Association, a mysterious organization, sent people to sneak into the Double Purple Illusion Realm’s Twin-Winged Mercury Dragon habitat.”

“They stole the egg that the Double-Winged Mais Dragon had just laid, causing a violent conflict between the Double-Winged Mais Dragon and the Alliance.”

“Fortunately, a warm-hearted citizen accidentally saw someone secretly transporting this egg and informed the Inspection Bureau.”

“The Inspection Bureau has successfully retrieved this dragon egg.”

“Now, let’s invite the Inspector General of the Inspection Bureau of the South Coast to explain the specific situation…”

The scene changed. Jiang Suoqing appeared on the screen. He was sitting on the sofa. Beside him, a fiery red egg was especially eye-catching.

“The Double-Winged Mais Dragon is an extremely rare Fantastic Beast with extremely strong attack power. Its egg is at least A grade.”

“The Poker Association is a mysterious organization that often experiments with high-quality Fantastic Beasts and eggs. They are a cruel and tyrannical organization.”

“Last year, this organization caused more than 180 injuries while they captured Fantastic Beasts.”

“We hope that everyone can learn from this enthusiastic citizen. If anyone around sees any abnormal behavior, such as carrying the youngsters and eggs of high-ranked Fantastic Beasts, please immediately inform the Inspection Bureau.”

“…”

Chen Qiyue stood in front of the announcement screen in the square. He pressed down the brim of his hat and smiled.

This was his first request.

For the Inspection Bureau, such an announcement was a win-win situation.

Firstly, it was to inform the Poker Association that the egg was no longer in Chen Qiyue’s hands. His danger would be greatly reduced.

Secondly, it also increased the prestige of the Inspection Bureau.

As for the content of the announcement, what could be said was up to the Inspection Bureau. They would control what they should say and what they should not say.

However, that egg was actually the egg of a Double-Winged Mais Dragon…

Chen Qiyue licked his lips in pity. It was said that the baby that hatched was a pacifier dragon. It was born with something that looked like a pacifier in its mouth.

This thing could slowly provide the necessary nutrition for the little dragon, allowing it to evolve into a fat dragon without any additional evolution items.

Ah~ How magical. I really want to study it!

“Won’t you be disgruntled?” a crisp voice asked.

Behind Chen Qiyue, a woman in a white suit and pants looked at him in surprise.

This woman had short chestnut-colored hair and looked quite capable. She was about 20 years old and had a surprisingly good figure.

She was the special inspector assigned by the Inspection Bureau to Chen Qiyue, the kind that protected him closely.

Chen Qiyue turned around and smiled at the woman. “I know my limits. If I can’t keep something, I might as well exchange it for something more practical.”

The woman was silent for a moment before nodding. “You’re not bad. If you want to work in the Inspection Bureau after graduating from university, you can come to me.”

“Officer Zhang thinks so highly of me?” Chen Qiyue asked in surprise.

Zhang Jirou’s voice was very calm. “You were able to escape from the Poker Association alone with that egg. You were neither arrogant nor rash. You did not hide blindly. Instead, you chose to report it to the Inspection Bureau.”

“In the end, you didn’t covet what you couldn’t keep, but you used another method to obtain the best result.”

“Your strength, vision of the big picture, and strategy are even better than some experienced inspectors’. It’s normal for me to think highly of you.”

Chen Qiyue nodded. “That’s true. Inspector General Jiang also gave me an offer.”

Zhang Jirou: …

Could this kid have asked that question just to make her say these words of praise for him?

...

Chen Qiyue glanced at Zhang Jirou with a smile. “Then, have you fulfilled the second condition?”

Zhang Jirou turned on her phone and took a look. “Yes, I was just informed that Qingda University has already made arrangements.”

“From today onwards, your name will be Cheng Qi, a new student of Qingda University’s Feeding Department. However, your file will still be under Chen Qiyue’s name.”

“As long as you don’t take the initiative to reveal your identity, the teachers of Qingda University will help you cover it up.”

The corners of Chen Qiyue’s lips curled up. “Alright, we’ll move today. We’ll rent a house outside Qingda University in advance. Otherwise, you won’t be able to stay in the dormitory with me, right?”

“By the way…” Chen Qiyue looked Zhang Jirou up and down. “How are you going to protect me on campus?”

Zhang Jirou glanced at Chen Qiyue indifferently. “By then, you won’t need my protection.”

Chen Qiyue was stunned. Did that mean that no one would chase after him when school started?

This was a good thing!

“Let’s go. I’ll help you move first.” Zhang Jirou took out her phone and made a call. “Get someone to take over Chen Qiyue’s residence and empty everything inside.”

Chen Qiyue: “…”

...

Was this the so-called helping him move?

“Alright.” Zhang Jirou hung up the phone. “There might be people watching the house you rented. After we take over, we’ll bring everything out for you.”

Chen Qiyue nodded. He was very confident in the Inspection Bureau.

“By the way, let me remind you. Since you want to change your identity, you’d better change your current appearance.”

Zhang Jirou glanced at Chen Qiyue and said, “Unless none of your classmates is going to Qingda University.”

Chen Qiyue: “…”

Three hours later, Chen Qiyue’s eyes twitched as he stood in front of the fitting mirror.

His hands clenched tightly the labels that were filled with numbers.

One, two, three, four, five digits…

His hands were trembling…
