Dididi! Dididi! In a room full of apparatus, a large machine suddenly emitted sharp beeping sounds.
A staffer quickly walked up to the machine and saw a glaring line of red words on the screen.
“Missing target #007 connection confirmed! Missing target #007 connection confirmed!” The staffer turned pale from shock. He opened the data log and confirmed it, then ran outside in a hurry. He quickly entered an office, reporting to a middle-aged Major General, “Reporting to General, the surveillance device just showed the person missing on the twenty-third of June, the target numbered 007, his personal terminal is in use again!”
“What!?” The middle-aged general jumped up from his seat, his face filled with astonishment. He kicked his chair away and made a mad dash straight to the data room.
After confirming the data shown on the surveillance machine once more, the general started trembling all over. He pumped his fist agitatedly and said in excitement, “Great! It’s the first one who has returned after we ‘lost contact’ with them in over twenty years! Go make the preparations and bring that kid back immediately!
“Wait a second! Let me make a call to Huang Juyun first.”
Just as the general was about to have his men bring back the reappeared “missing” subject for questioning regarding his disappearance, his brow creased uncontrollably once he thought of this kid’s ident.i.ty, and he quickly stopped. Afterwards, he opened up his personal terminal and sent out a voice call request.
——
Huang Juyun had returned to Qian Wei City to take care of the military affairs, and was currently holding a meeting. His brow suddenly furrowed. Looking at his personal terminal, he saw an encrypted voice call request coming in.
His expression turned serious. He handed the meeting over to his subordinate, and walked out of the meeting room quickly, then accepted the call request and asked, “h.e.l.lo? General Xu Lingkong? What’s the matter?
“What? That kid Zhang Che just showed up!?
“No, hold it for now! No matter if there’s any problems with him, wait until tomorrow if you want to question him. I’ll personally bring him over to you tomorrow!”
“Right, I’m putting it out there; if you don’t take my word seriously, don’t blame me for falling out with you!”
The call ended. Huang Juyun didn’t return to the meeting. Instead, he left the building and drove himself to the adjacent military airport.
Ten minutes later, a few fighter planes rose up into the skies, heading north.
——-
In the car, Zhang Che told his mother and Huang Tielan about what he experienced in detail. Of course, he omitted the parts about the demonic flower and the rainbow crystal.
Also, he didn’t mention anything about Chen Lishan’s matter. After all, that was something a.s.sociated with his other ident.i.ty. Subconsciously, he didn’t want anyone to know the secret about him being able to transform as he wished.
Other than that, Zhang Che basically told them all about his current beastmaster tier and his capable babies. He felt that he had no need to hide this information from his closest people.
Sun Lan and Huang Tielan were both shocked beyond words after hearing Zhang Che’s account. It was truly unthinkable that such bizarre events happened in this world.
Both of them were overjoyed when they heard that Zhang Che now had a powerful healing-type subdued beast.
“That’s great! Auntie, your illness is nothing to worry about now!”
That news was what made Huang Tielan the happiest, other than Zhang Che’s safe return. She was the same as Zhang Che, uncertain if Professor Sun Qilong’s subdued beast would be able to cure Sun Lan’s illness.
Now, the heavy weight in each of their hearts could finally be lifted!
Huang Tielan was probably anxious to go home and let Zhang Che heal Sun Lan. The car had unknowingly sped up, whizzing through the traffic.
Zhang Che hurriedly called out, “Slow down, slow down, no hurry!” -This miss really has an energetic nature, getting worked up very easily whenever she’s happy!-
Thinking of this, Zhang Che couldn’t help but turn to look at her side profile. Looking at that perfect oval-shaped face, he felt as if he had fallen into a pot of honey.
Who would’ve thought that the overweight girl from before who could cause an earthquake whenever she stamped her feet would actually undergo a full transformation, turning into such a first-rate beauty?
The only thing that made him feel bitter was that during this transformation process, who knew how much pain she went through..?
“Zhang Xiaoche, why are you always looking at me? I can’t even drive properly now!”
Zhang Che was at a loss for words. -You can even sense that I’m looking at you when I’m sitting behind?-
———–
She drove the car as if it was flying. After only a quarter of an hour, they drove into a district of villas. In the end, it came to a stop at a particular villa that wasn’t very big.
This was originally a Bei Du property owned and lived in by Huang Tielan’s family. However, it was vacated after Huang Juyun took up his post in Qian Wei City. After Huang Tielan brought Sun Lan to Bei Du, she arranged for her to settle down here. A tranquil environment was better for recuperation, after all.
Just as they got out of the car, Zhang Che saw a rainbow silhouette suddenly pouncing at them. His heart thumped hard from the fright, ready to summon the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to defend himself.
-Since when was a wild exotic beast able to sneak its way into the city?!-
“Caihong, stop!” Huang Tielan suddenly cried out at this moment. The rainbow silhouette immediately halted. It turned out to be a millstone-sized rainbow spider.

Zhang Che’s mouth gradually widened. He turned to look at Huang Tielan and asked incredulously, “Is this your pet?”
Miss Tienan stuck out her chest proudly and replied, “Yes! So don’t you dare offend me from now on, or it’ll bite you!”
Zhang Che immediately trembled from fright. -If this freaking thing bites me even once, will I still be alive?-
“Hahahah, I’m just joking. My Caihong is very obedient, I tell you. It won’t bite randomly!” Huang Tielan was amused. She urged, “Hurry, summon your healing-type subdued beast and heal auntie’s illness!”
“Oh, right!”
Zhang Che came back to himself and nodded. A five-colored ray of light shot out from his brow, materializing into a pure white unicorn.
Huang Tielan’s eyes were immediately glued to it after seeing the unusually beautiful white beast. She fell in love with this white horse with a sharp spiral horn at first sight.
While Zhang Che helped Sun Lan sit down in a chair in the courtyard, he said to Huang Tielan, “How is it? Do you like it? I’ll gift it to you when your beastmaster tier advances to Tier Four!”
After he finished his sentence, a splendid milky white ray shot out from the Unicorn’s horn, shrouding Sun Lan.
Huang Tielan didn’t answer Zhang Che. Instead, she looked nervously at Sun Lan, now enveloped in the milky white ray, her heart filled with antic.i.p.ation.
About a minute later, the soft white ray of light gradually faded away. Sun Lan had fallen asleep, her face peaceful, and her complexion obviously different from before.
