Chapter 1739: Mermaid Rearing Guide 11

You don't like contacting humans, why are you so friendly to Xu Yi?

Lin Juan closed the office door, turned and asked him.

Jin Chen's raised mouth corners lowered, he slightly tilted his head, pursing his lips, looking somewhat bewildered at Lin Juan, gathering his courage he said: 'Juan, you're jealous.'

Lin Juan, who only wanted to investigate the mermaid's good-and-evil habits: '...... I don't.'

You do.

Jin Chen gripped Lin Juan's head, kissed his cheek, saying: 'Don't be afraid, as long as it's Juan, be my wife.'

He's spouting nonsense again.

Lin Juan was successfully distracted by this topic, forgetting what he wanted to ask; a faint blush rose behind his ears, as if annoyed yet not.

He grabbed the hateful, spoiled mermaid's ear fin, saying: 'Eat, don't rub around.'

A very abundant raw fish feast.

Jin Chen ate very slowly; his sharp claws were sharper than knives and forks, yet he managed to eat with the elegance of Western cuisine.

He even carved a heart-shaped tuna sashimi and brought it to Lin Juan's mouth.

Lin Juan: 'I don't eat.'

Jin Chen silently withdrew his hand, saying nothing.

Lin Juan felt something was off.

Looking up again, sure enough it was the mermaid, aggrieved to the point of being unable to bear it, as if shunned, struggling to move sideways; even its lustrous tail dimmed.

It inexplicably made one feel soft-hearted.

Lin Juan put down the report, sighed helplessly, 'Alright, I'll eat.'

Only then did Jin Chen become satisfied, swimming over to entwine Lin Juan, feeding him the edible raw fish meat for humans—the heart-shaped one.

My food has something added, it doesn't hurt. Jin Chen was a bit drowsy, buried in Lin Juan's chest, speaking intermittently, his voice soft, more like lovers' whispers.

Jin Chen rubbed Lin Juan's belly, 'No need to take medicine.'

Lin Juan's abdomen grew warm from the rubbing, as if his year-long cold, hard heart also melted.

He didn't avoid Jin Chen when taking medicine, never expecting to be remembered.

Lin Juan wasn't used to this feeling, yet he didn't push away, only asking: 'What did you add to your food?'

Spirit.

Jin Chen half-closed his eyes, already exhausted to the point of inability, his tone explaining to Lin Juan like a wind stirring ripples—gentle and tranquil.

My Spiritual Power. He rubbed Lin Juan's neck, 'Juan, be good, keep it secret.'

Lin Juan looked in surprise at the empty dish that held the fish meat, instinctively wanting to record it.

After a long while, he raised his arm to embrace the mermaid whose breathing was even as she entered sleep, letting out a long sigh.

Jin Chen was about to undergo his first external examination, mainly to determine when he could accept gene fusion surgery; the high-intelligence animals captured with him in the same batch also needed to be examined.

That morning, Lin Juan woke Jin Chen early, giving him some precautions.

Keepers cannot enter the testing room; once you go in, don't speak randomly, don't lose your temper, I'll be waiting outside for you.

Lin Juan combed his silver long hair, then suddenly said: 'Especially your name, no one may say it.'

If the examiner asks about species-related questions, you may also choose not to answer; I am the one responsible for your research, understand?

Jin Chen had just woken not long ago; hearing this, he lifted his eyes, yawned, and hugged Lin Juan, rubbing against him several times.

You said it's too complicated; I just want to hug.

Lin Juan helped him put on his clothes, no longer coaxing, 'This is very important; otherwise your fish life won't be preserved.'

Jin Chen hummed grudgingly, 'They, can't beat me.'

The mermaid is too naive, still unaware that after the previous incident, it has become a key surveillance target in the base.

Lin Juan shook his head, didn't tell Jin Chen, 'Alright, I'll take you there.'

Outside the testing room, there were many keepers and animals.

Jin Chen seemed allergic to the smell of these people, always burying his face in Lin Juan's chest, refusing to lift his head, no matter how Lin Juan coaxed him.

Doctor Lin good, Number Seventeen good, long time no see! Xu Yi, who was today responsible for helping in the testing room, waved at them enthusiastically.

Jin Chen finally responded, waving, 'Good.'

Arrogant to the point of resembling a sea god receiving worship from his subjects.

Lin Juan glanced at him, nodded.

Truly the same kind of aloofness.

Xu Yi thought to himself, entering the testing room.

This was the opportunity he had begged the gaming team for a long time to get! He must seize it well; he can't have come this long for nothing.

Every week he could see two or three animals undergoing surgery; Xu Yi was also very anxious in his heart, but he was isolated and helpless, so he could only proceed step by step cautiously.

But now it seems there is a mermaid ally.

Xu Yi glanced toward the door, silently nodded, hoping he hadn't misinterpreted Number Seventeen's meaning.

Jin Chen personally saw the rebellious high-intelligence animal being scolded, which made him furious, baring his teeth in a grim grin.

Don't look. Lin Juan whispered, 'You're not allowed to cause trouble either, otherwise I'll reprimand you.'

Not a chance. Jin Chen furtively extended a finger, pointing from afar at the ignited evil human keeper.

Instantly a cry came from the corner; that keeper suddenly fell flat on his face for no reason.

The high-intelligence leopard being beaten dubiously lifted its body, then lay down again to lick its wound; the collar around its neck was tightly restrained, so tight it almost lost its racial talent due to constant pain.

Jin Chen nonchalantly withdrew his hand, embraced Lin Juan, 'Is this also, protection?'

Lin Juan frowned, looking toward that spot, a cold warning rising in his eyes; the keeper, irritated, flung the whip aside without uttering a word.

"Just to prevent it from going berserk," Lin Juan casually explained.

Soon it was Jin Chen's turn for the examination.

He entered the testing room, startled by the various cold instruments inside.

This isn't a check-up; it's a frying, stir-frying, cooking, deep-frying session.

Jin Chen wore a cold expression, his waist-length silver hair soft and smooth, part of it hanging in front; his blue eyes swept over the tester inside wearing a white coat, and he let out a cold snort from his nose.

"Ugly."

A bunch of ugly people.

Still wanting him to willingly lie down for the check-up? Dream on.

Jin Chen raised his hand, claws extending.
