Chapter 223

Eagle Grandpa finished speaking, turned its head to look at the human, its gaze piercing: "Human, what did you just say? I didn't quite hear that."

Ling Yue translated for her and blinked.

Diao Jie, who understood the meaning: "……"

Just pretend I farted a moment ago!

The netizens in the live broadcast room saw her expression and burst into laughter, filling the whole screen with hahaha; as for Eagle Grandpa, he didn't care about those, proudly hovering in midair, his iron-hard talons gripping the surprise he'd brought tightly.

It was extremely clever, even knowing where the camera was.

According to Diao Jie's tearful account, Eagle Grandpa is even smarter than a human!

Afterwards they released Eagle Grandpa back to the wild several times in succession, but each time he managed to find his way back; once, Eagle Grandpa didn't return for a long time, and the rescue station staff finally breathed a sigh of relief, yet not long after, Eagle Grandpa's news appeared before the camera.

On the brink of death, completely still.

Upon seeing the video, the staff were heartsick and rushed to the scene by car—

Upon seeing them, Eagle Grandpa leapt up.

"Buffet restaurant, hurry and send me home! Big fat chicken, come forth!"

Turns out, it had been playing outside earlier, and then, not wanting to sway, it found the camera and lay down in front of it…

No matter how hard they tried, the rescue station staff couldn't tell whether Eagle Grandpa's injury was real or fake, so they kept running back and forth.

Diao Jie burst into tears, clutching her head: "I really don't want to deal with it!"

Their rescue station was about to become the public enemy of all the grassland rescue stations!

Because Eagle Grandpa's victims were spread across the vast grassland!

Wherever it passed, neither chickens nor dogs could rest!

Upon hearing the description, the netizens exclaimed, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

But the reality is, Eagle Grandpa stared straight at the camera, exuding an overbearing aura, hum, this entire airspace is his domain; feeding a few tiny humans is nothing to him!

Because it was too fast, the netizens in the live broadcast room could barely see what it had grabbed in its talons, and they all started guessing, the most common guesses being national first-class protected animals, like cattle, rocky mountain sheep, and so on.

Diao Jie blankly repeated: "It probably isn't possible, right? QAQ"

It frightened her badly; after a moment, her face turned ashen, as pale as gold paper.

Upon hearing that, Eagle Grandpa let out a disdainful sharp cry: "How could that be!"

It turned its gaze to the camera, its hovering stance suddenly shifted, it dove downward, and the delicate object on its talons was instantly exposed to everyone's view.

Eagle Grandpa held his head high, chest out, looking at the camera: "The human who understands my speech, tell them, Eagle Grandpa couldn't possibly be that backward big eagle, bringing food, NoNoNo! That's way too low!"

"I am the sky overlord of this region!"

Ling Yue: "???"

She almost couldn't help laughing out loud, and cautiously asked: "So what did you bring back this time…?"

Eagle Grandpa: "Hmph, let me show you my great treasure!"

After saying that, it stood beside Diao Jie, reaching up to about half her height; usually it wasn't obvious, and even though the live broadcast netizens knew eagles are bigger than hawks, this was the first time they saw it so clearly.

【What a huge treasure, ah no, what a huge eagle!】

【Little yellow face. JPG】

【……What are you thinking upstairs? Kick them out!】

Even curious Diao Jie, after seeing the live broadcast netizens' wild guesses, couldn't help but lightly cough twice, following Ling Yue's words: "Then let me show everyone what great treasure Eagle Grandpa brought back!"

Diao Jie bent down, picked it up from the grass, and after seeing it clearly, her face filled with shock; the netizens in the live broadcast room became even more dazed.

Diao Jie's stiff words spoke everyone's mind: "A camera, a camera?!"

【My goodness, Eagle Grandpa this is outright robbery!】

【Which unlucky kid, caught Eagle Grandpa's eye, this camera is small and lightweight; if it weren't for the big brand logo on it, I'd really think it's a photo camera! A camera capable of this, this weight, I know just by thinking about a strand of hair, it must be damn expensive!】

【Unlucky traveler: ancestral grave smoking black smoke, we actually got robbed by a big eagle!】

【Diao Jie: I don't want to go to jail, let me out! Let me out!】

【How terrible!】

Seeing the barrage, Diao Jie's expression panicked, afraid the netizens would think it was real, she hurriedly explained: "It's not me, it's not me! I didn't train it!"

Upon hearing that, Eagle Grandpa lifted his head, full of pride, saying: "Of course I'm not trained by you; I'm a nationally protected first-class key protected animal, a smart and formidable grassland eagle!"

"Human, don't panic!"

It flapped its wings once, its bright, spirited eyes looking at the camera: "Cough cough, that pretty translator, tell her, those we robbed don't dare to call the police!"

Eagle Grandpa held his head high; if it weren't for his decent speech, it certainly wouldn't be because of the pretty sister inside, Ling Yue would have to give him a good airing out.

Ling Yue: "... What does that mean?"

Eagle Grandpa: "I've said it before, I'm smart!"

"This is a tool used by border spies! I want to report it; if humans offer a reward, I won't take it—give it all to the rescue station!"

Ling Yue: "!!!"

After hearing the translation, the netizens: "!!!"

Diao Jie: "???"

Diao Jie let out the first exclamation, breaking the silence, eyes wide as she stared at Eagle Grandpa: "How do you know it's a spy? Did you see it?"

Eagle Grandpa: "Hmph."

It arrogantly preened its feathers, after a while, under everyone's eager gaze, it leisurely explained: "I've said it before, this entire airspace is mine; as the lord, I must patrol my airspace. A few days ago I spotted several sneaky humans with cameras, snapping away; afterward I hovered for a while, hearing them talk about filming, maps, and one of them even muttered a foreign phrase!"

"Speaking of which, I should also thank you, humans."

Diao Jie seemed to think of something, her face flushing red and white, she raised her arms and shouted: "Eagle Grandpa, don't say it! Don't say it!"

Too late.

Eagle Grandpa flicked his beak, shaking out everything: "You're idle all day, scrolling videos at the rescue station, constantly sighing, 'People who catch spies get a 500,000 reward, get rich overnight!' You keep saying it, saying it until my head buzzes, I dream of catching spies!"

Eagle Grandpa spread its wings, patted its chest, and Ling Yue could clearly see pride and satisfaction from its fluffy face: "Here, woman, the five hundred thousand you wanted! Those people are still on the prairie; Eagle Grandpa can show you the way!"

Suddenly having her old background exposed, Diao Jie: "……"

Grandpa, my great-uncle Diao, please don't say that!

Diao Ye smacked his lips: "Three big hens!"

Diao Jie: "Give give give!"

After she finished speaking and looked at the screen, Ling Yue had already burst out laughing; besides her, the online viewers who had heard the full translation story all exclaimed that this eagle had practically become a spirit!

Besides the good-natured smile, there was even more astonishment.

【Seriously suspecting, a human soul resides in Diao Ye's body!】

【Much stronger than my ungrateful son who would starve to death if he didn't eat for a second, Diao Ye truly lived up to the saying "I'll support you! Humans are not as good as birds!"】

【Other rescue stations take days to nurse a rescued eagle back to health, but Diao Ye says: "Hey, didn't see that coming? I was just lying flat? I'm bouncing back now!"】

【I'm rushing over with a hen in the middle of the night to ask Diao Ye to raise it; is it still in time?】

【Those upstairs talking about first come, first served—I've already boarded the train!】

【……】

Play is play, mischief is mischief, don't joke about money.

The rescue station has always been in contact with the police; Diao Jie didn't dare delay and contacted the police directly.

Coincidentally, it was the same young police officer from last time; he came laughing, and upon seeing Diao Ye's huge physique, he couldn't help but tremble.

One can imagine how severe the psychological trauma he suffered last time was.

Diao Ye, however, was full of enthusiasm: "Yo, Officer Xiao Wang from the No. 3 convenience store has arrived—your team's big hen smells great!"

Ling Yue looked at his expression and, out of kindness, did not translate it; Xiao Wang only felt its gaze was strange, the task was urgent, so he rushed straight to Diao Jie and asked, "Where are the spy tools? Let me take a look."

Diao Jie naturally agreed.

After examining it repeatedly, Officer Xiao Wang furrowed his brows and said seriously and firmly: "It is a spy's tool!"

"The pictures inside are all from our grassland map, plus several uninhabited areas; they intend to steal our country's topographic map!"

Diao Ye's eyes lit up: "What about my reward then?"

Officer Xiao Wang laughed: "Yes!"

Even Diao Jie, who had covered her face saying she couldn't face people, secretly opened a slit between her fingers; upon hearing Officer Xiao Wang's confirmation, her heart raced and her hands trembled.

No one expected that later Diao Ye would actually embark on a career of professional whistleblowing; for at least the next several decades, spies and illegal border-crossers in this grassland region would be terrified at the mere mention of him.

It sometimes also does search-and-rescue work, looking for lost horses and cattle on the grassland, seeking lost travelers; it's practically become a government civil servant, eating public funds just like that.

"Thanks, streamer!"

After Diao Jie gave her heartfelt thanks, she then closed the livestream.

After watching the livestream, the viewers still felt a bit wistful; Ling Yue clapped her hands and said, "All right, let's begin drawing the first consultee."

The downcast viewers instantly perked up.

【Come on, come on, let's see the first fortunate person!】

The result appeared quickly; after Ling Yue exchanged the usual pleasantries, the fortunate person Miao Miao Miao Miao Miao appeared on screen—a young girl with a sweet appearance, just as her nickname suggests, holding a Li Hua cat with a leash around its neck.

One can clearly see that it is missing a section of its tail.

It was obediently nestled in Miao Miao Miao Miao Miao's arms, its fur clean and extremely cute.

The girl lifted her gaze to the camera; her first words left the viewers stunned: "It's not my cat!"

What does that mean?

That remark was like cold water dropped into hot oil—the chat exploded with crackling sounds, emotions flaring like burning flames, the crowd furious.

They finally noticed the background behind the girl—a bustling urban corner; she was sitting on a flowerbed that no one paid attention to.

Instantly, many people broke out in a cold sweat behind their backs.

Instantly, many people broke out in a cold sweat behind their backs.

They concluded that she was going to throw the cat away!

At the same time, the cat in her arms kept mewing cutely, rubbing against her; the remaining stub of its tail, covered in ugly scars, was held high—a sign that the cat was happy and relaxed.

It was trying hard to please its owner, unaware that the owner had just uttered such a heartless remark.

【What on earth did the little kitten do wrong?】

【Don't tell me you're going to livestream throwing the cat! I disagree! 【Angry】【Angry】】:,,
