84. Met Again After a Long Period of Separation
 

The bright spot falling from the sky was not strange to Ian; it was the scene of a spaceship landing.
 
There was a spaceship landing . . . . Was this someone coming?
 
Ian and the others’ lives on the Fallen Beast Planet could not be regarded as bad, but it was definitely not good. At least for Ian, who was used to the convenient and fast life of the capital star, living here was inconvenient for him in all respects.
 
Everyone here lived like this though. In fact, because he was a sub-beastman, he had received a lot of care, so naturally, he never said anything.
 
However, him not saying anything did not mean he did not want to go back.
 
So many days had passed; he wondered how things in the capital star were . . . . He kept thinking of Chris these days. Now that he saw a spaceship landing, he just couldn’t wait to rush ahead straightway to take a look.
 
Nevertheless, although the spaceship was landing, but it did not come down on their side. The landing site seemed to be very far from them, and it would probably take a lot of effort to go there even if it was a beastman, not to mention that he was just a sub-beastman.
 
"A spaceship’s coming!" Ian excitedly tried to catch a glimpse of the area where the spaceship landed and immediately turned his gaze toward the leopard Bauer, "Bauer, do you have any device that can transmit messages to that spaceship?" When these fallen beasts were sent to the Fallen Beast Planet, they all brought some stuff, and there was no lack of communication devices among these. He wondered if Bauer brought one with him.
 
Because the Fallen Beast Planet was a primitive planet, messages sent from those communication devices simply couldn’t reach the outside of the Fallen Beast Planet, but after the spaceship had landed, it could receive such messages.
 
"I do. I’ve been holding onto my communication device. But, can you just send some messages casually? If that spaceship belongs to the star pirate, what should we do?" The leopard Bauer asked worriedly.
 
“Will the star pirates come here?” Ian asked a question in reply.
 
"Actually, no . . ." The leopard Bauer answered. There was no habitable star or mineral star in the vicinity of the Fallen Beast Planet. This place was so poor it would not even raise a fuss. Not to say that the only spaceship that passed by each year was escorted by the military, the fallen beasts and the food loaded inside were also not worth robbing at all, so the star pirates would never come here.
 
But if the star pirates would not come, other people normally wouldn’t come either, ah . . . . It was still more than half a year before the spaceship that sent food would come again. What the hell was this spaceship doing here?
 
Could it be that people were coming to pick up the empress and the crown prince?
 
The leopard Bauer somewhat doubted it. Some bright spots appeared in the sky again—more spaceships were landing.
 
These spaceships were significantly larger than the first spaceship, to the extent that they could see the faint silhouette of the spaceships. The spaceships were arranged in a neat and tidy row and slowly began to land.
 
Ian could not clearly see the specific appearance of those spaceships because they were a little too far away, but with so many spaceships together, they could not be star pirates!
 
"Quick, take your communication device out." Ian told Bauer at once.
 
The leopard Bauer looked at those spaceships and stared blankly for a moment. Only after hearing Ian’s words did he hurriedly fish out the communication device from the space button and hand it over to Ian.
 
Inside one of the spaceships that were landing on the Fallen Beast Planet.
 
Chris stood in the main control room; his eyes were sunken and red, and his complexion was even worse.
 
He did not feel like eating anything these days. Although he would drink concentrated nutrient fluid every day, but the whole person still lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, so much so that he looked worse than when he thought Edgar had died.
 
At that time, although he thought his son was dead, but at least he still had a partner at his side to accompany himself. His partner also depended on him, so he absolutely couldn’t collapse. But now, he was really unable to endure it.
 
To date, it had been more or less half a month since they had found the first fragment of his private spaceship. And during this half a month, Chris had fully experienced torments every day and even at every moment.
 
The spaceship was broken into pieces; could the people on board still be alive?
 
Chris simply didn't dare to think deeply about it, but he still spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. After that, he began searching the universe for the spaceship's lifepod.
 
Although everyone felt that the probability of the kidnapped empress and other people on the spaceship being able to take the lifepod and flee for their lives was very low, but they still spared no pains or effort to look for the lifepod.
 
After they found the first fragment of the spaceship, they actually didn’t catch anything again for a time. They eventually found the second fragment in a very remote area.
 
Even though the original exit of the wormhole was unstable, but it was usually safe and had a regular pattern. But now, the exit of that wormhole had been completely chaotic, to the point that there were more than one exit.
 
They kept looking without stopping to sleep or rest for ten days. The researchers constantly did calculations using the data they already had and finally circled out a rough range where the lifepod, if there was any, would be after coming out of the wormhole. Afterwards, everyone continued to look for it.
 
But they still ended up empty-handed.
 
An intact lifepod would send out a distress signal, and the signal was also very strong. Yet they had never received such a signal at all . . . . If it were not for the fact that they had not found those people nor their dead bodies, Chris had probably already collapsed now.
 
Everyone present was full of worries about His Imperial Majesty the Emperor, but no one dared to advise Chris to stop and rest . . . . Chris’ temper was very bad these days. Almost everyone who went up to persuade him got ruthlessly punished. This time, if it were not for having to find a habitable planet nearby because they had no more water for daily use in the spaceship, Chris probably would’ve completely rejected the brief stop-over on the Fallen Beast Planet.
 
When the spaceship entered the atmosphere, it shook slightly but quickly stabilized. Chris blinked his dry eyes and ordered, "Dispatch the robots to check the entire planet thoroughly.”
 
They once found a large piece of spaceship fragment on an area one-day-travel away from the Fallen Beast Planet. If there was indeed a lifepod coming out of the wormhole . . . maybe the lifepod would land on this planet.
 
Chris also hoped that the lifepod would land on this planet.
 
There was life on this planet. If the lifepod landed here, the people inside would have a way to survive. But if it landed elsewhere . . . .
 
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chris’ assistant answered and went to arrange some men to search for those people.
 
"Wait," Chris suddenly stopped him. "I’ll go too."
 
"Your Majesty, the medical officer said that you need to rest." Chris' assistant could not help but say. Chris' condition was very bad; the medical officer had said that if he did not rest, he might likely collapse.
 
"You just have to obey my orders! Ian and the others should be on this planet. I’ll go and look for them myself." Chris said. The star field they circled out had been searched everywhere, but there was simply no lifepod found . . . . Now he was hoping that the lifepod was here.
 
How possible was it for the empress’ lifepod to crash here? Chris' assistant did not think that they would be so fortunate. He would rather Chris took a good rest than search for people.
 
But when he looked up and saw Chris' face, such thoughts instantly disappeared. "Yes, Your Majesty. I’ll arrange it right away!"
 
The spaceship finally landed on the ground. Chris put on a dry land combat suit and was about to step out. At this moment, the man in charge of handling messages aboard the spaceship suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, we received a message."
 
"What message?" Chris halted his footsteps and asked.
 
Chris’ assistant had already realized and quickly said, "It should be an SOS message sent out by the fallen beasts on the planet . . . . Your Majesty, this is the Fallen Beast Planet; would you like to bring some more people with you?"
 
"No need." Chris replied. He once again started to leave and unexpectedly  heard an exclamation from behind. "We received the empress' message!"
 
"What?" Chris' footsteps suddenly stopped, then he turned round and looked over.
 
"There’s a message here saying that he’s the empress . . ." Someone said, pointing to the message on the display screen. The message showed a string of military secret codes, and after breaking the codes, a message saying that he was the empress appeared.
 
Seeing this, Chris’ face showed an ecstatic expression. "Lock onto the communication device that sent the message! I’m going to rush there in the shortest possible time!"
 
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
 
Several aircraft flew out of the spaceship, flying toward the distance. Meanwhile, in the spaceship, Calvin turned to face the Duke of Mund with a happy expression on his face. "Father, did you hear it?"
 
"I heard it." The Duke of Mund nodded, mood loosening at once.
 
If the empress and the others were fine, then he and his son would also be fine . . . .

The sky above the Fallen Beast Planet had always been the territory of the strange birds with long wings and fur that looked a bit like huge bats. These animals were savage carnivores. When they gathered during the breeding season, even powerful fallen beasts would give way in the face of their superior strength.
 
They were the overlords of the sky on the Fallen Beast Planet, but today, many "monsters" that were much bigger than them appeared in the sky.
 
A strange bird charged into that huge monster and directly got its neck broken from the collision and lost its life. Other strange birds immediately became afraid of those "monsters". Screeching, they scattered and fled.
 
On the ground, a small colony of fallen beasts who heard the frightened screeching of the strange birds raised their heads and unexpectedly saw several aircraft flying very fast toward the distance.
 
Aircraft? How could aircraft appear on the Fallen Beast Planet?
 
The fallen beasts in this colony were extremely curious, yet they could not think of a reason, so they just went hunting as usual—even if several aircrafts appeared here, it did not matter to them, fallen beasts; they still had to do their own things.
 
Although Reynolds had sent them some food, but they would still go hunting, so as to avoid not having enough food to eat.
 
The bright sports in the sky had disappeared; it might be assumed that several spaceships had landed . . . . Ian turned his gaze in the direction of the landing spaceships and clenched his teeth, saying, "Let's go there!"
 
"Empress . . ." The leopard Bauer was full of excitement. If he could follow those spaceships and leave the Fallen Beast Planet, didn’t it mean that it would not be long before he could see his own sub-beastman and children? With such thoughts, he suddenly couldn’t help but turn into his beast form—besides fatigue, being too excited could also make little beastmen involuntarily transform themselves.
 
Bauer could not speak after he turned into his beast form. He looked at the direction of the spaceships’ whereabouts and stooped down before Ian, hinting at Ian to go up and sit on his back.
 
Although beastmen generally would only let their own sub-beastmen and children ride on their backs, but it was not absolute. In special circumstances, carrying other sub-beastmen on their backs was not a problem.
 
The leopard Bauer already had his own sub-beastman, and the empress’ status and age were also very different from his. He thought it did not matter even if he carried the empress. In any case, he would never have any thoughts about the empress.
 
Ian straightforwardly sat on the leopard’s back, and then the leopard quickly ran out.
 
They had not run for long before some aircraft came into view in front of them. When they saw those aircraft, Ian’s heart gave a jump, and the leopard also came to a stop.
 
They stopped, and those aircraft also stopped. Someone jumped down from the front of the aircraft, staring deeply at Ian.
 
It was Chris! Ian came down from the leopard’s back and stared at Chris with excitement. Both men did not talk, but the gazes they exchanged seemed to speak a thousand words.
 
Chris and Ian met again after a long period of separation. They were very excited, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the leopard at Ian’s side suddenly became a person, and a naked one at that.
 
Chris, who was going to embrace his spouse, immediately sported a black look on his face. The leopard Bauer felt that he was extremely unlucky. He actually forgot that he still couldn’t completely control his transformation . . . .
 
Bauer urgently wished to turn back into his beast form to escape the awkwardness, but sadly, he was unable to change. Just when he was worrying, he suddenly felt some pressure come rushing towards him . . . .
 
As a not-so-powerful beastman, Bauer directly turned into his beast form under this pressure.
 
Okay, it was fine now.
 
Bauer shrunk to the side and did not move a muscle.
 
Chris originally had many words he wanted to say to Ian. But after he really saw Ian, he was actually unable to say a single word. On the contrary, after a pause, Ian at once started to jabber on and on. “Chris, how did you make yourself look like this? Looking at how ugly you are, how long have you not eaten and bathed? Quickly eat something. I’ll talk to you while you eat."
 
"We’re all fine. You don't have to worry. The egg has hatched, and it’s a very vigorous little beastman. He runs particularly fast I can’t even catch up with him.”
 
“Our lives have been very good these days. We haven’t been hungry or cold.”
 
“I’m fine. It’s just that . . . I miss you."

83. Chris is Coming


Beastmen had very strong resilience. In particular, they could recover from superficial wounds very fast, and their level of tolerance toward injuries was also very high. 
 
In the past, even if Bruno was injured when hunting or taught a lesson by Reynolds for talking drivel, he would never cry that it hurt and would just suffer in silence for two days. But today, he actually lay down beside Jesse, whimpering that it hurt and incessantly saying that he felt uncomfortable here and felt bad there . . . .
 
Jesse did not turn a deaf ear to him and helped him lick his wounds one by one.
 
Bruno suddenly felt that the injuries he suffered this time were very worthy. At the same time, he also felt guilty at having done such things to Shu Shu. That person was a sub-beastman; it was really awful of him to scare somebody like that . . . . Thinking so, Bruno snorted and then told Jesse his thoughts.
 
"It’s good that you know." Jesse looked at Bruno silently. He originally wanted to become a beastman early and then help out with things, so that Shu Shu would also restore Bruno's beast core earlier. As a result, Bruno roared yesterday and completely disrupted his plan. Now he did not know if Shu Shu was still willing to help him restore his beast core or not.
 
Anyway, the matter had already reached this point; regretting was useless, but they could think of a way to remedy it . . . . Jesse said to Bruno, "Since you know it’s wrong, we’ll go apologize tomorrow."
 
"Got it." Bruno nodded obediently. After settling the big worry in his heart, he now didn't dislike Shu Shu at all and even had a particularly good opinion of Shu Shu because Shu Shu, who was Edgar’s sub-beastman, had come up with a solution for them.
 
Bruno and Jesse idled for a while. Feeling that his body had completely had no problem, Bruno suddenly stood up and then limped out.
 
Jesse wondered what he was going to do and saw him approach a pair of fallen beasts lovers like them and say with a smug face: "Jesse gave me his beast bead; what about you? Have you exchanged beast bead?”
 
Bruno showing such a smug expression really looked like he needed a little spanking, ah . . . .
 
However, after he showed off like this, several fallen beast lovers who had been together for a long time actually exchanged beast bead as well, which could be considered as making a commitment for a lifetime together.
 
While the fallen beasts outside gathered in twos and threes to socialize or to fight, Edgar extended his tail tip into the hole dug out by Shu Shu, wanting to fish Shu Shu out of the hole.
 
He was a snake; he could not call Shu Shu or make any other sound except for a slight "hissing" sound. And this sound would probably make Shu Shu afraid, so he could only use the tip of his tail to try to hook Shu Shu out.
 
However . . . Shu Shu had already dug said hole so deep that after his tail was tightly stuck, it still couldn't reach Shu Shu.
 
Edgar gloomily gave his own son a quick glare. If it were not for his son recklessly chasing people, how could his sub-beastman run away?
 
The little snake was completely unaware that his own father was full of blame toward himself and was still wriggling in the direction of the hole over there—he could sense that his mother was there, and he wanted to go find his mother! He was a little beastman who relied on smell to find his family. Him chasing after the little hamster before was actually because he wanted his mother to hug him . . . .
 
Edgar certainly couldn’t let his son scare his wife again and placed the little snake into the bag that Shu Shu sewed. He bit the opening of the bag with his mouth and did not let the little snake come out, intending to give him a lesson.
 
Then . . . the child fell asleep just like that.
 
Edgar held the bag containing his son with his mouth and guarded the small hole impatiently, waiting for his wife to come out of the hole.
 
After Shu Shu got into the hole alone, he felt very embarrassed at first. He had no time to think more and only considered digging a hole. Later, he felt a little lonely and thought about Edgar somewhat.
 
Climbing out of the hole, Shu Shu very carefully looked left and right and then saw a huge snake head close by staring at him.
 
He subconsciously drew back, but then he recalled that this was Edgar and was no longer afraid. He immediately turned into a person and began to complain, "Edgar, the lion called Bruno bullied me! I’ll help him restore his beast core the last! And your son, he chased me! It’s the worst!"
 
"Then wait until the end to help Bruno restore his beast core. As for the child . . ." Edgar stopped his tail tip from writing words to communicate and used it to roll up the bag holding the child and give it to Shu Shu.
 
What were they going to do? Shu Shu took the proffered bag, a bit puzzled. He was human-shaped now, tall and big, and he was not as afraid of the little snake as before.
 
"You can beat him up to vent your anger." Edgar once again used his tail to write.
 
Beat the child? Shu Shu was shocked and instantly angered. "You actually want to beat the child! Don’t you know that this is domestic violence? Children must be taught well and mustn't be beaten."
 
Shu Shu also thought that brats were very annoying. After all, when he was just a little hamster, he was often harassed by brats. There was one time when he was "purchased" to be a house pet; the family purchased him purely for the brat to play around and even let the child catch and throw him down . . . . He then bit the brat ruthlessly and ran away.
 
However, his own child presently wasn’t a brat, ah! How many days had this child been born? The child chasing him was probably only for fun; how could he casually beat him? If he always beat people indiscriminately, wouldn’t the child learn to follow suit?
 
Although afraid of his own child, but Shu Shu intended to teach him to become a young man like Edgar!
 
Shu Shu grabbed Edgar and inquired into what he had learned about raising a child. Afterwards, he depressedly stated, "We both don't understand how to teach children, and we also don't know how to raise children. It seems that we must hurry up and help Jesse restore his beast core tomorrow, so he can give us some ideas."
 
In fact, Ian should have had some understanding about this, but he lived in the imperial palace at that time, with high-tech products and robots everywhere. In addition, there were specialized nannies who helped taking care of Edgar, so he only needed to accompany Edgar to play and was unaware of many things.
 
"That’s for sure. But there’s still one thing you should pay attention to." Edgar wrote using his tail. "Half of the eggshell has been used by you. If you continue like this, how many more people can you save?"
 
The little snake’s eggshell was originally not much. The little snake himself had eaten half of it, and the rest was just a little bit. It was just that Shu Shu had been afraid to fail, so he had not dared to feed Reynolds and the leopard Bauer too little. Consequently, the remaining eggshell was barely sufficient.
 
Shu Shu was at a loss figuring this out.
 
He actually still had a lot of things that he could use. For example, he had a lot of Edgar’s scales, but the key thing was that he could not make Edgar's scales into fine powder. For the time being, he could only use the little snake's eggshell . . . .
 
However, there was not much left of this eggshell now.
 
Forget it, when he helped Jesse tomorrow, he would use less eggshell powder . . . . Shu Shu thought about it and finally prepared only half of the eggshell powder used by the previous two people.
 
Today had been hectic; Shu Shu slept late and also got up quite late the next day. When he went out, everyone else had already eaten, but the leopard Bauer had specially cooked and kept some delicious food for him, and it was still nice and warm.
 
Although he had crashed onto a primitive planet, but his current life was not bad at all.
 
The leopard Bauer's cooking skill was much better than Ian’s and Jones’, and Shu Shu was perfectly satisfied with his meal. And when he had just finished eating, Jesse, leading Bruno, came over.
 
Afraid of scaring Shu Shu, the two lions did not come near and just wrote on the ground, "I'm sorry."
 
Was everything okay once you said you’re sorry? Shu Shu was not satisfied somewhat. But when he turned his head and saw that Bruno was injured from head to toe, he could not help but grin and stop getting angry.
 
Bruno looked really miserable . . . . Shu Shu could not help but take a few more looks at him. The more he stared at him, the more he wanted to laugh.
 
Shu Shu accepted Bruno's apology and had every intention to help Jesse restore his beast core according to the original plan.
 
The procedure this time was still the same as the previous two, but the eggshell powder fed to Jesse in the beginning was much less. Nevertheless, although the eggshell powder that Shu Shu gave was reduced, Jesse still succeeded, and the lion under the quilt became a naked man.
 
Reynolds looked very handsome; bearing the vicissitudes of life on his body, he was a very attractive man. In contrast, the leopard Bauer looked very ordinary, making him a forgettable man. As for Jesse . . . .
 
Jesse did not look as good as his partner Bruno had imagined, but he possessed a gentle temperament that made people feel like being cleansed by a spring wind, which in turn made people subconsciously like him very much.
 
Bruno had been waiting anxiously on the side. Seeing Jesse sit up and drape a cloth over his own body, he immediately rushed up excitedly, tongue extended to lick Jesse—they only got acquainted with each other after the two of them had become fallen beasts; this was the first time he saw Jesse’s appearance, and he definitely thought that this face was quite exceptional!
 
Looking at this smooth face, Bruno wondered how it would feel when he licked it . . . . He had just taken a lap with his tongue and unexpectedly found a mouthful of hair in his mouth.
 
Jesse, who had just become a human, had changed into his beast form again.
 
"Rowr!" Bruno was a bit disgruntled. "Why did you turn back? I still want to take another look at your appearance."
 
"I don't know what’s going on either." Jesse was a little bewildered as well. He simply hadn’t been able to control himself just now . . . .
 
Quite the opposite, the leopard Bauer who saw this scene faintly thought of something . . . . He had also experienced losing control of himself, but it was not as serious as Jesse . . . .
 
"What's going on with this?" Shu Shu was also a little puzzled and beckoned to Jesse, "Come here, I’ll check it for you."
 
Jesse promptly came to Shu Shu, who was guarded by Edgar. Shu Shu used his spiritual power to help him check and immediately frowned, "Your beast core’s a little small."
 
Jesse looked confused.
 
"Probably because the eggshell powder I gave you to eat was too little, so your beast core is a little small, just like the little snake’s . . . . But it doesn't matter; it’ll totally grow well later." Shu Shu patted Jesse’s head. This beast core would slowly grow; he did not know about other people’s, but he found that the little snake’s beast core had grown a little bigger.
 
So . . . Jesse’s current transformation was just like a little beastman who could not control his own body? The surrounding people were a bit surprised, but even so, they envied Jesse very much.
 
"What you fed us before was eggshell powder? Xiao Bao's eggshell?" Reynolds suddenly asked.
 
"Yeah." Shu Shu nodded.
 
The little snake's eggshell could restore their beast cores? Hearing this, the surrounding fallen beasts all looked amazed, but they all believed it.
 
"Unfortunately, the eggshell wasn’t much, so I could only use less." Shu Shu said.
 
Everyone saw the birth of the little snake, which meant that they could also estimate how much the eggshell was. They naturally knew that Shu Shu was not lying, and so they started to worry—if the little snake’s eggshell was used up and it was still not their turn to restore the beast core, what should they do?
 
With this in mind, everyone turned their gaze toward Shu Shu's belly. It seemed that there was still one egg in Shu Shu’s belly. Could they expect Shu Shu to give birth to a few more?
 
"Anyway, you can rest assured that when Edgar has recovered, he’ll definitely be able to help you restore your beast cores, even without the eggshell." Shu Shu said again. Edgar was more powerful than him; when the moment came, he would surely come up with a way. Even if he could not think of a way, Edgar would be definitely able to crumble his own scales!
 
Edgar was originally more powerful than Shu Shu? The fallen beasts immediately got so excited that they seemed to forget their worries just now. They had been waiting for so many years; waiting a little longer was nothing.
 
In the next few days, Shu Shu helped three people restore their beast cores, and then his eggshell powder was used up.
 
These three people’s performances were the same as Jesse’s; they were unable to control their transformations. But even so, they were still envied by other fallen beasts. At the same time, these fallen beasts began to change their methods and work even harder to curry favor with Shu Shu. It was unknown when Edgar would recover, so the only thing they could count on now was obviously the egg in Shu Shu's belly!
 
The eggshell was so little, and by then, it was definitely not enough to help all of them to restore their beast cores, so of course they had to work harder. First come first served!
 
While these beasts were vying to curry favor with Shu Shu, Jesse also expressed that he could help taking care of the little snake. He was currently still not very good at controlling his body, and he could not look after the child all day long, but taking him along and accompanying him to play for a while were still doable.
 
Edgar agreed; Shu Shu thought about it and also agreed. Although it was important for the child to be with his parents, but occasionally going out to play with others was fine too. Moreover, according to Jesse’s argument, little beastmen were full of energy and should be brought out for exercise in fresh air every day.
 
Thus, the little snake along with his bag were given to Jesse.
 
Of course, although it was said that the nursemaid job would be given to Jesse, but it was not completely thrown to Jesse; there were still some people watching. Reynolds took the leopard Bauer along, and Jones and Ian followed after them.
 
They actually did this not because they did not trust Jesse. It was purely because everyone was idle and had nothing to do. The child was a rarity, so they all took the chance to be close to the child, and while they were at it, they also could help protect the child.
 
Ian liked the child very much and had been following after the child, but sometimes he would lose him . . . .
 
He could not do anything about it because the little snake ran very fast. Jesse, Reynolds, and Bauer were all beastmen and able to keep up. Jones could sit on Reynolds’ back and keep up too. Only he, as a sub-beastman who ran slow, was doomed to be left behind.
 
Edgar’s child was really very lively and ran very fast! Ian was very much helpless, and at the same time, he remembered Chris—if Chris was here, he could carry him and keep pace with the child . . . .
 
But now there was no Chris around him; there was only the leopard Bauer accompanying him.
 
"Empress, let's go back first?" Bauer asked.
 
"Okay." Ian nodded. At this moment, he suddenly felt the sky light up.
 
Looking up, Ian unexpectedly discovered a bright spot appearing in the sky and was falling rapidly onto the ground.

82. Using the Beast Bead to Coax Someone


Whose beast core did not develop slowly? It’s no big deal!
 
The leopard Bauer felt that this was just a very minor side effect, and he really didn’t take it seriously. After all, being able to become a beastman again was already his greatest fortune.
 
After obtaining the beast core, even if he turned into his beast form, the whole beast was more sober and calmer than before. Furthermore, most of his negative emotions of the past had all vanished like smoke in thin air . . . . The leopard sat on the sandy ground and leisurely licked his claws, thinking that the barren rock desert before his eyes was simply a rarely seen beautiful scenery in the world.
 
Even though the Fallen Beast Planet was very beautiful, but he certainly still wished to leave this place soon. He did not know how big his child was now . . . .
 
The leopard Bauer thought for a while, then he stood up and ran far. Shu Shu was pregnant with a child, so he had better go and get some fruits and vegetables for Shu Shu to eat, which could be considered as his tokens of appreciation . . . .
 
After helping the leopard Bauer restore his beast core, the next turn was the lion Jesse, who was recommended by Reynolds. Jesse was a doctor before; he did not specialize in treating beastmen like Jones did but was a general practitioner instead. He also helped his mother to take care of three younger brothers and had lots of knowledge about childbirth. Reynolds thought that letting him become a human early was of great benefit to Shu Shu.
 
Shu Shu had just hatched out a child, and there was still another one in his belly. As it happened, he knew nothing at all about child-rearing in the Beastman Empire, and so he was very eager to learn about it. When he heard that Jesse was an expert in this field, he immediately nodded repeatedly. "Then the next is to help Jesse restore his beast core."
 
Done talking, Shu Shu turned toward Jesse and very confidently stated, " Jesse, rest assured, I’ll definitely help you restore your beast core!"
 
The lion lay prone in front of Shu Shu and bowed his head over his two front paws, showing deference with eyes full of gratitude.
 
Such a big lion was actually showing deference to him and still very grateful to him, too! Before, Shu Shu was preoccupied with the injured Edgar and had no time to be concerned about others. Later, he worried that he would fail to help others restore their beast cores, to the extent that he never paid too much attention to these fallen beasts. Now though . . . .
 
Seeing these fallen beasts all looking at him worshipingly, Shu Shu suddenly felt rather smug and conceited.
 
The way Reynolds led so many giant beasts before looked so cool and so mighty, ah! In the future . . . was there any possibility that these people would follow him?
 
Shu Shu imagined having countless people charge and break through the enemy lines for his own sake with just a wave of his hand, and his eyes were full of excitement. Seeing him like this, the gaze of the huge lion in front of him also softened.
 
Another male lion, Bruno, also wanted to become a beastman. After all, being a beastman was much more convenient and effortless than being a fallen beast. But when he saw Jesse lie prone in front of that sub-beastman, his mood immediately plunged.
 
Jesse was actually very powerful. The many times he could hit and win against Jesse were all Jesse throwing the games. Although he did not know how Jesse would look after becoming a human, but he felt that Jesse should look pretty good. Would this Jesse like those sub-beastmen and dislike him later?
 
With such a thought, Bruno could not help but become violent. He originally stayed far behind, but he suddenly stood up and roared at Shu Shu, showing his ferocious appearance.
 
The mighty roar of the lion burst between the heavens and the earth and seemed to carry murderous intent. Shu Shu, who was just fantasizing about leading a group of beastmen to sweep across the whole planet, instinctively turned around and ran away, getting into the dugout at lightning speed.
 
Although for him these ferocious beasts were not as terrible as snakes because they did not eat hamsters, but he always felt that they were incomparably powerful and indomitable. Now that there was a lion roaring at him . . . Shu Shu could not stop himself from running away.
 
Edgar did not go out and was cultivating in the dugout. He had just cultivated for a short while when he saw Shu Shu scurry in from the outside and run straight to his side.
 
Shu Shu looked startled, and Edgar subconsciously wanted to protect him in his arms, but he was a snake, no more than a long thin body. Although he grew paws but his paws were very short. How could he hold Shu Shu?
 
Edgar stopped cultivating and was going to encircle Shu Shu. He did not expect that Shu Shu would actually turn into a little hamster all of a sudden and then hide under his paws.
 
Edgar protected Shu Shu very carefully, coiling his whole body while facing the dugout entrance at the same time. After he did all this, Ian got in from outside the dugout. "Shu Shu’s fine, right?"
 
Edgar shook his head and continued to stare at Ian.
 
Edgar came out of his belly; Ian did not have to think about it and could already guess that he definitely wanted to ask him about what was going on just now. So he immediately said, "It's Bruno. That lion has scared Shu Shu."
 
Edgar nodded. He wanted to go out to help Shu Shu take revenge, but Shu Shu was really frightened right now and still hiding under his paws. It was not suitable for him to go out at this time . . . . Edgar could only endure it for the time being.
 
"You can rest assured that the guy’s out of luck now." Ian sneered. That Bruno had abducted Jones before, and this time he had scared Shu Shu . . . . His impression of this guy was extremely poor.
 
Edgar swayed his tail to express that he got it. Ian saw Edgar like this and knew that he most likely still felt annoyed. He smirked and then walked away—he had better not disturb the two little husbands who were being intimate here.
 
However, talking about this . . . Edgar was now a fallen beast as well as a snake whom Shu Shu was very afraid of. Supposedly, Shu Shu would not get intimate with him, right?
 
Thinking of this, Ian snorted lightly.
 
Ian left, and Edgar immediately went to see Shu Shu, who was encircled by himself, but he did not expect to suddenly hear a few miserable "squeaks". After that, a little hamster clawed at Edgar’s scales and climbed over his body and then ran out at lightning speed. The degree of panic and fear was even more serious than when he hid in.
 
What's going on? Edgar was rather puzzled. The little snake, whom was mainly looked after by him during these two days, also climbed over his body and then chased after the little hamster.
 
The hamster’s fleeing speed was very fast, but the little snake was also not the least inferior and did not fall behind at all. He chased after the hamster and slithered swiftly, body twisted into an S shape and looking very lively.
 
"Squeak!" Shu Shu cried out again, "Save me, ah! Edgar, you quickly take the brat behind me away!"
 
Edgar was temporarily speechless. Getting scared into this form and also being chased by his own child . . . . Shu Shu was . . . *cough cough*!
 
Although it felt a bit funny, but Edgar did not dare to overlook it and immediately used his snake tail to catch the little snake.
 
No one chasing behind, Shu Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief and hid in the corner of the dugout, not moving. He had been scared witless by the lion outside just now and wanted to find Edgar for a little comfort. Unexpectedly, while he was still pondering whether he should ask Edgar to help him get out of this predicament and was just feeling a bit at ease, a snake came running to him . . . . Shu Shu at this moment was gloomy and extremely depressed as well. He was actually scared by his own child to the point of fleeing ignominiously . . . .
 
Seeing the little snake who was still wriggling towards him and kept wanting to pounce on him even though he had been rolled up by Edgar’s tail, Shu Shu was extremely distressed.
 
He turned his body around, butt facing Edgar, and refused to talk.
 
Edgar nevertheless grabbed the little snake with his claws and then touched Shu Shu with the tip of his tail, stroking Shu Shu from head to tail and smoothing Shu Shu’s ruffled fur.
 
Being petted like this was very comfortable, and Shu Shu made a joyful sound. Edgar wanted to take this opportunity to get Shu Shu to come to his side.
 
Shu Shu nearly gave in but then recalled the shameful things he had done just now . . . . He ignored Edgar and brandished his two claws toward the wall instead. After that, he quickly dug out a small hole on the wall of the dugout and squeezed into it.
 
He had to calm down after being scared witless by his own son!
 
Edgar: . . .
 
Forget it, he would just take this opportunity to go out and help Shu Shu take revenge . . . .
 
Outside the cave, Bruno had just gotten a beating.
 
After he roared, two fallen beasts beside him charged into him without the slightest hesitation, and then one of them gave him a slap. Later, after realizing that Shu Shu had been scared away, countless fallen beasts also charged into him, and they all beat him up.
 
Shu Shu was the hope of all of them, and this guy actually went to scare Shu Shu. It was simply unforgivable!
 
Bruno also knew that he had been rude and impetuous, but he did not want to admit his mistakes. He lowered his head and fought those people sloppily.
 
The surrounding fallen beasts were a bit helpless seeing him like this. They had been living together for a long time; of course they could not really finish Bruno. After giving him a beating, they considered it done. At this moment, Edgar, who was holding the little snake with his claws, climbed out of the dugout.
 
His own sub-beastman was scared by others and now hiding himself in a hole and refused to see him . . . . Edgar looked at Bruno with a particularly cold gaze.
 
The leopard Bauer turned into a human form, which was the most convenient form to communicate with others. He originally wanted to say a few persuading words, but after seeing Edgar’s expression and sensing Edgar’s imposing manner . . . he could not control himself anymore and directly turned into a leopard and ran away.
 
Reynolds also couldn't stand it. He became stronger after he became a beastman again, and normally, he would no longer be afraid of a single fallen beast. But in reality, he was still afraid of Edgar.
 
"Edgar, don't kill." Reynolds said and took Jones to leave the fighting ring.
 
In fact, this could not be said to be a fighting ring because Bruno simply didn’t have the strength to fight Edgar. He was unilaterally beaten by Edgar from the start.
 
Edgar swung his tail and directly whipped Bruno with it, leaving a welt on Bruno's body. After the first whip, the second whip and the third whip quickly arrived . . . .
 
Bruno’s body hurt very much, but the one that made him most painful was that Jesse did not come to help him.
 
Jesse was able to become a beastman, so he refused to acknowledge him now? Bruno inexplicably felt wronged all of a sudden.
 
Edgar certainly didn't know the grievances in Bruno's heart, but he still paid attention to propriety when laying his hands on someone. After leaving a few whip marks on Bruno, he stopped. As he stopped, he saw a lion run to Bruno’s side and licked Bruno’s wounds.
 
"Rowr." Bruno roared at Jesse and bared his teeth, rejecting Jesse's approach.
 
"Bruno, don't make trouble." Jesse said. These days, everyone was very happy because they finally had hope, but Bruno kept showing an excessive amount of negativity because he did not like sub-beastmen. Jesse was unable to put up with it any longer. What the hell was going on with Bruno?
 
"Humph!" Bruno snorted and turned his head, still ignoring Jesse.
 
Jesse circled around Bruno, but Bruno simply ignored him, which made Jesse more and more anxious. He knew that if Bruno continued to hold this attitude, then he would definitely anger Edgar and Shu Shu again later on. At that time . . . if Shu Shu refused to help Bruno restore his beast core, what should they do?
 
However, he did not know how to placate Bruno, and he did not even understand why Bruno was angry.
 
Edgar, who was watching this scene, suddenly felt a little funny.
 
He had long known that these two beastmen were a couple, and it seemed that their relationship was also pretty good? Nonetheless, they might be able to maintain this relationship while they were both fallen beasts staying on the Fallen Beast Planet, but how about later?
 
He thought that if they really wanted to go on, they had to make a decision and invested something in their relationship . . . .
 
"Give him your beast bead. He’ll definitely stop being angry." Edgar wrote some words on the ground using his tail and turned toward Jesse.
 
Jesse read the words that Edgar wrote down and went blank. Giving his beast bead to Bruno? Although he and Bruno had become fallen beasts, but they still had the beast beads. They did not think much about it before because they had become fallen beasts after all, and this thing was completely pointless. Now though . . . .
 
Jesse was not stupid. After mulling over it, he suddenly understood that Bruno would be like this because he was uneasy. In addition, he had been cold to Bruno because he felt that Bruno had behaved unreasonably, which probably made him even more uneasy.
 
The beast bead was very important to him. Every beastman knew that they had to keep the beast bead safe because it was to be given to their most beloved sub-beastmen in the future. But now he . . . .
 
Jesse opened his mouth and spat out his beast bead. He and Bruno had been together for so many years, and they had spent the hardest years together. In the future, he would never be able to find a sub-beastman again . . . . And undoubtedly, those sub-beastmen would not want to be together with him either.
 
Bruno stared at the beast bead in front of him, and his eyes were bright. His body hurt very much, and the areas that were whipped by Edgar were even more sore as well as painful, but he no longer feel them.
 
The lion, who was just now still lying on the ground and looking like he had only a breath of life, suddenly stood up with vigor thoroughly restored. He shot a glance at Jesse and “humphed”. After that, he too spat out his beast bead and picked up Jesse’s beast bead with his mouth in turn. Then he turned round and pranced away, hips swinging and butt twisting.
 
Oh my, he actually didn't think about this before . . . . He should have let Jesse hand over his beast bead earlier. This way, he could have already set his heart at rest long before!
 
Bruno was thinking this way, and suddenly, a snake tail whipped past and pulled him back all at once.
 
Jesse smirked and ate Bruno's beast bead, then he came to Bruno’s side and rubbed against Bruno. In response, Bruno went straight into his arms.
 
It turned out that coaxing someone was so simple. It was just the price was a bit big, giving away the beast bead . . . . Jesse sighed darkly and began to lick the wounds on Bruno’s body.
 
Not far away, Ian, who was watching this scene, smirked. Edgar actually gave others such an idea to coax someone . . . . Speaking of it, he would not have given Shu Shu the beast bead just because he had wanted to coax Shu Shu, right?
 


Author’s note:
Little snake: The game I liked the most when I was a child was to play chase with Mother. It’s very fun! It’s a pity that Father would always grab me midway.

81. The Emperor Who’s Searching for People


Although it was very smooth when Shu Shu helped Reynolds to turn into a human, but he was not sure at all whether others could also be the same. As an inexperienced daemon who had never exchanged any cultivation insights with other daemons, he, for all that, could only fumble around himself. Naturally, he also did not dare to guarantee. 
 
"I'm not sure if I can succeed or not, you know? You also have to work hard yourself." Before getting down to business, Shu Shu emphasized this with the leopard several times.
 
The leopard Bauer initially nodded in agreement, but after a few times, he got more and more anxious and eventually could not help but write on the ground, "Is it dangerous?"
 
"No, it’s actually not dangerous." Shu Shu said.
 
Not dangerous? Bauer’s leopard face showed a pleasantly surprised expression, and his eyes were bright. He had been well-prepared to run into danger and even to lose his life. A fallen beast wanting to become a beastman again was not a simple matter at all. As a result . . . it was not dangerous?
 
It was not only the leopard Bauer who was very surprised, but other fallen beasts who had hung around Shu Shu recently were also particularly surprised when they heard this sentence. They all looked at Shu Shu with their eyes wide open.
 
Even if Shu Shu was already used to so many fallen beasts staring at himself, but he still felt a lot of pressure and subconsciously repeated once again, "I don't guarantee that you’ll be able to become a beastman."
 
"It’s alright! It doesn’t matter." The leopard Bauer comforted Shu Shu in turn.
 
Other fallen beasts, one after another, also wrote:
 
"Shu Shu, rest assured that it’s fine even if you fail."
 
"That’s right, we’re willing to wait!"
 
"You’re the best!"
 
. . . . . .

For a time, the sandy ground was full of words, and Shu Shu was unable to put up with it any longer.
 
Edgar, carrying the little snake on his head, approached Shu Shu and then swept clean all the words around with a stroke of his tail. The pressure released from his body was even more deadly, making the surrounding fallen beasts unconsciously retreat a few steps and tuck their tails between their legs.
 
"Edgar, let's get started." Shu Shu said as he gave Edgar a pat.
 
Edgar nodded and encircled Shu Shu, but he ignored the leopard Bauer.
 
"Bauer, you come in!" Shu Shu, encircled by Edgar, beckoned to the leopard.
 
The leopard Bauer’s tail was tucked between his legs, and his head drooped, nearly touching the ground. He somewhat didn’t dare to approach Edgar, but in order to have a chance to become a human, he still endured in the end. He nimbly leapt forward into the circle formed by the big snake and then, legs soft, fell directly on the ground.
 
The pressure from Edgar’s body was really too strong. An ordinary beastman like him always felt a little unbearable . . . . The leopard Bauer was just going to get up when he was suddenly covered by something. He stared blankly for a moment before realizing that it was a blanket.
 
Why did this snake beastman suddenly give him a blanket? The leopard Bauer was at a loss somewhat, but then he remembered one thing—when they, beastmen, turn into humans, they were stark naked.
 
Was the beastman afraid that his sub-beastman would see his naked body? The leopard Bauer plucked the blanket with his claws and wrapped himself better.
 
At this time, Shu Shu, like when he treated Reynolds before, took out some eggshell powder for him and made him eat it.
 
The eggshell powder was dry, and it stuck to the palate a little when being swallowed, but the leopard Bauer quickly used his tongue to draw it all into his mouth.
 
After this stuff was down in his stomach, he at once felt his body heat up, and his whole person seemed to be undergoing astonishing changes. Right at this moment, Shu Shu touched his head, and a current of energy entered his body, which seemed to enable him to see the inside of his body.
 
His body was absolutely empty, and the place where the beast core should have been was now containing nothing . . . . He wished to recover his beast core, and he wished he could become a beastman again.
   
He was thinking this way when he suddenly felt that there was an energy coming to the place that originally contained his beast core. Then a beast core slowly formed in that place . . . .
 
The leopard Bauer sensed this thing, but he was somewhat blank. His whole person was still in a daze and did not dare to ascertain whether this was true or not. Shu Shu was different though; this time he clearly perceived how the beast core re-appeared in the end.
 
The beastmen were born with beast cores, which were part of them. In the past, after the fallen beasts lost their beast cores, they could not regenerate a new one, and this was because they did not have enough energy. But now with him boosting their energy and with the spiritual power helping them heal their wounds, the beast core was able to re-appear.
 
He used the method of making beast servants to help these fallen beasts, but in practice, the situation was actually quite different. After all, fallen beasts were not daemons who just opened their spiritual wisdom.
 
They were not forced to rush their transformations into human forms; they merely restored their original appearances, that’s all . . . . With the spiritual power helping them restore their health and supplying them with energy, and with them being able to consume the eggshell of a mythological animal, wanting to accomplish this goal was actually not difficult at all.
 
The leopard covered by a blanket slowly became a human figure.
 
Shu Shu took back his hand with a happy expression across his whole face. Even so, Edgar rolled him back into the dugout.
 
"Edgar, what’re you doing?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar with some dissatisfaction. This time the leopard was fully covered, ah. Why did Edgar still take him away?
 
Wasn’t it to stop those fallen beasts from staring at and eyeing his own sub-beastman covetously? Edgar used his tail tip to write on Shu Shu's hand, "I want to ask you about the specific process."
 
"It turns out to be this." Shu Shu nodded and began to talk excitedly.
 
Edgar listened very seriously, but the little snake was completely unable to make sense of what he was hearing. He felt bored and crawled to Shu Shu, but before he climbed Shu Shu’s body, he was swept up by Edgar with his tail and then stuffed into the bag made of a bath towel.
 
Comfortably warm inside the bag, it did not take long for the little snake to fall asleep after going in and lying down. And after Shu Shu told Edgar the whole process, he was also coaxed by Edgar to sleep.
 
But none of the fallen beasts outside slept.
 
When it was only Reynolds alone who recovered, it might be that he was just lucky, so they did not dare to hold out too much hope. But now, besides Reynolds, Bauer had also recovered!
 
They could surely recover too!
 
These fallen beasts were happy, but there was nowhere to vent their feelings. One of the wolves could not help opening his mouth to howl, but a fallen beast at his side slapped him and immediately interrupted the howl that he had not uttered yet.
 
The fallen beast looked indignantly at the friend who had hit him. He was about to get angry when he suddenly realized that if he shouted now, it would probably disturb Shu Shu’s rest. So he immediately closed his mouth firmly.
 
A huge group of beasts unexpectedly didn’t make any noise when they moved around. Ian, watching this scene, sighed a little and then turned round, planning to find Jones to prepare a meal.
 
He could not find Jones, though . . . . Ian looked around in a circle and found that not only could he not find Jones, even Reynolds was also missing. He did not know whether they were hiding somewhere to get intimate with each other or not.
 
Seeing this situation, Ian also didn’t feel like making complicated food. He cooked a bowl of soup and took out a piece of dried meat to simply filled his stomach.
 
Several fallen beasts gathered together in front of Ian while he was eating. They argued and fought over to give Ian some "collections" liberated from their space buttons, which included a bottle of beverage, some snacks, and a game console. In addition, there were even a few jars of sauce, and it was unclear whether they had expired or not.
 
These people were currying favor with him in order to make Shu Shu help them, but their demeanor actually reminded Ian of Chris.
 
When he had a conflict with Chris, Chris would also gift him with all kinds of gadgets. Also . . . he used to be very popular in the army, and there were many men who would give him things like this. Later, those men were driven away by Chris. But now Chris was not here, so there was no one to drive people away . . . .
 
He used to think that Chris doing such a thing was very annoying, but now, did not know why, he actually missed it a little.

Smiling at these fallen beasts, Ian accepted those stuff and put them aside, planning to ask Shu Shu later whether he wanted them or not. Afterwards, he raised his head and looked up at the sky. Them crashing onto the Fallen Beast Planet could be considered as fortunate for them. It was just that they did not know if Chris could find them. Did they have to stay here for a year?
 
When Ian was thinking of Chris, Chris was also thinking about Ian.
 
After leaving the capital star to chase after Jonathan, Chris never returned. His sub-beastman and his child and also his unborn grandchild all disappeared into that destroyed wormhole, life or death unknown. Under such circumstances, did he still have a mood to return to the capital star?
 
The amount of reward offered for finding people already broke the record. He also specially spent money to open up the military emergency communication channel to notify the remote planets and to enable people to give him information via this channel. But even then, there was still no information coming.
 
The two spaceships that entered the wormhole seemed to disappear into thin air.
 
Chris stood in the main control room of the spaceship; his expression cold and detached, his face ugly, and the dark circles under his eyes plain to see since long ago.
 
"Your Majesty, you should go take a rest first." Calvin said to Chris. He was Jonathan’s son; he was being detained by Chris these days and was not allowed to leave this ship. Even so, it did not make him angry but instead made him feel very guilty.
 
His mother had done such things; Chris not killing him was already very lenient.
 
Chris was formerly very fond of Calvin, a young man who was the same age as his son. He often helped Calvin and would even give him a lot of pocket money every year, but now he could not help but feel disgusted when he saw Calvin. Hearing Calvin’s words, he merely glanced at Calvin coldly.
 
Calvin was aware of this and only smiled bitterly. Upon seeing this, the Duke of Mund, who was also being detained just like Calvin, showed a bitter smile too.
 
He had long known that Jonathan did not like him but liked Chris instead. They were husband and wife, and he loved Jonathan deeply. It was impossible for him to not be able to see it.
 
He certainly knew that Jonathan liked Chris, but he did not expect that Jonathan would actually be so crazy . . . . If Chris could not find Ian and the others, or if he found them but discovered that something bad had happened to them . . . . The Duke of Mund believed that Chris would most likely take him and Calvin down with himself.
 
Because of this, he had thought about helping his son to escape, but unexpectedly, his son was actually unwilling to do it . . . . He originally had not had one hundred percent assurance of being able to send Calvin away, so after Calvin refused, he simply gave up this idea and just took it one day at a time.
 
He only hoped that Jonathan could let Ian and the others go after he had secured his own safety.
 
The Duke of Mund thought this way, and so did Chris.
 
Although he faintly felt that Jonathan would not be willing to let people go, but he could only think in the right direction now, otherwise he definitely wouldn’t be able to bear it.
 
The fleet was advancing rapidly in the starry sky, and various kinds of scanning devices were all activated regardless of how much energy they consumed, searching for everything in the surroundings. From time to time, some spaceship fragments floating in the universe were salvaged, and then their composition was analyzed.
 
Some scientists analyzed the composition of the spaceship as well as the composition of some meteorites while constantly doing calculations to figure out where the spaceship that passed through the wormhole went.
 
Through the composition of meteorites, they had figured out where that wormhole led to and had even dispatched some people over, but now . . . .
 
Jonathan had fired an artillery shell after entering the wormhole, which completely ruined the wormhole, and now no one knew where it ultimately led to . . . .
 
"That Jonathan fired an artillery shell after entering the wormhole. This is wanting to take the empress down with him . . ." One scientist could not help but say. He was thinking that the empress had most likely met with disaster.
 
"Don't say it." The person beside him reminded him. His Imperial Majesty definitely didn’t want to hear such words. They just had to find those people.
 
The scientist who spoke first stopped talking. Just now, another piece of spaceship fragment was salvaged, and the assistant deftly put it into the machine.
 
They had done this countless times and did not hold any hope, but unexpectedly, the instrument suddenly started to beep at this moment.
 
Chris' private spaceship used one kind of alloy that had come out of research not long ago, and the composition of this fragment was exactly the same as that alloy. Not to mention that the spaceships that used this kind of alloy in the entire Beastman Empire were currently only a few, those spaceships were also still in good condition and had never been damaged.
 
In other words, this fragment was very likely to belong to Chris' private spaceship!
 
The spaceship was broken; could the people inside still live?
 
The scientists quickly reported the news to their superiors, but their hearts sank.
 
Such news was not good news.
 
When the fleet at last salvaged the spaceship fragment, on the Fallen Beast Planet, after the leopard Bauer, who finally turned into a human and was wrapped in a blanket, ran excitedly for a long time, he suddenly changed back into a leopard uncontrollably.
 
What happened to him? He should not have had a problem, right? The leopard Bauer was stunned and tried to turn into a human again. Unfortunately, he tried several times without success. When he was worrying that something was wrong, he inexplicably turned back into a human.
 
This feeling was the same as when he was a child . . . . This regression of the beast core was just like when he was a child and could not control his own change?
 
The leopard Bauer gave it a try and discovered that as long as he was tired, he would change into his beast form uncontrollably. It seemed that . . . he really became the same as when he was a child.

80. Had a Nightmare
 

Reynolds had not changed into a human form for a long, long time, and now his movements were very stiff, and his speaking voice also sounded weird.
 
But he still couldn’t wait to talk and move. He opened his mouth to speak but kept ending up grinning ear to ear.
 
Of course, the first thing he had to do now was to put on some clothes . . . . There were still other sub-beastmen besides Jones here. Edgar was guarding Shu Shu, not letting Shu Shu see him and giving him a cold glare at the same time. If it was not because he was unclothed, he would probably come over and fight Edgar.
 
Reynolds' space button carried clothes he had put aside thirty years ago. For the fallen beasts, clothes were completely unimportant, yet Reynolds himself did not know why he had kept those clothes at that time.
 
The quality of the clothes was very good. Even after thirty years, the clothes were not the worse for wear. Taking out a set of clothes, Reynolds began to clothe himself with difficulties.
 
His dressing speed was very slow, and his movements looked particularly awkward. He probably couldn’t even compare with a four or five years old child, but his mood was very, very good, and the smile on his face was more brilliant than ever.
 
Seeing Reynolds like this, Jones could not help but start laughing. He laughed and laughed, and then he suddenly burst into tears.
 
"Don't cry. You should be happy." Reynolds said. His voice was very loud, a little like a bark. It was obvious that he still had no good control over his voice.
 
"This is me being happy!" Jones gave Reynolds a quick glare. This was him crying from happiness.
 
Reynolds started to smile again. Seeing Jones still staring at himself, he asked a little nervously, "What do I look like now? It’s uglier than before, right?"
 
If Reynolds had fussed about his looks before, Jones would have definitely said that he was narcissistic without the slightest hesitation. But now, looking at Reynolds, Jones actually swallowed back the words attacking  Reynolds. "You look very handsome." Reynolds looked basically the same as before and only seemed more seasoned after many vicissitudes.
 
"Really?" Reynolds was actually stunned. "Could it be that my looks have changed? You . . . did you dislike my previous appearance?"
 
Jones slapped Reynolds on the head, "Get dressed!"
 
When Reynolds and Jones were having an exchange, on the other side, Shu Shu and Edgar were also having an exchange.
 
“What did you feel when you succeeded?” Edgar wrote down a sentence on the ground, questioning Shu Shu.
 
Eating the eggshell and inputting spiritual power to Reynolds were all things that were not harmful to Reynolds. Therefore, although they were not sure of the outcome before, Edgar still let Shu Shu go and try it, but he did not expect Shu Shu to actually succeed at his first attempt.
 
Since it had succeeded once, there would be a second time and a third time. Of course, the most important thing now was to find out how successful it was in the end.
 
"I didn’t feel anything." Shu Shu looked at Edgar somewhat blankly. He did not know how he had succeeded . . . . It seemed like he inputted his entire spiritual power into Reynolds’ body, and then Reynolds himself used that energy to produce a beast core?
 
Shu Shu told everything that had transpired with stupefaction across his whole face.
 
Making a fallen beast become a beastman again was actually so simple? No, this in fact couldn’t be regarded as simple. After all, this spiritual power stuff, don’t say absorbing it, they had never even sensed it before. Moreover, the entire spiritual power in Shu Shu’s body was by no means a small amount . . . .
 
"Edgar, I’m really awesome, aren’t I?” Shu Shu smugly stated and then tore open a packet of dried meat taken from the side and ate it. After Reynolds turned into a human, Shu Shu’s initial feeling of guilt disappeared right away. Now he was in a very good mood and would no longer feel embarrassed to eat the food brought by Reynolds for them.
 
Edgar nodded. From inside the bag made of bath towel held in Edgar’s mouth, the little snake poked his head out and also nodded. Their gestures were exactly the same.
 
Shu Shu inexplicably thought that it was a little adorable, and then he saw the little snake's head suddenly turn into a baby's head and still nodding, too.
 
So cute! Shu Shu, seeing the little baby nodding, immediately stepped forward and hugged the child, "Xiao Bao, come, hug Mother!"
 
Xiao Bao rubbed against Shu Shu and nested in Shu Shu’s arms, looking perfectly contented.
 
Edgar felt rather upset seeing this scene and really wanted to take the child back to his side. However, thinking that Shu Shu would be unhappy, he restrained himself and merely encircled Shu Shu and the child.
 
Shu Shu, who was encircled by a snake, glanced at Edgar a little uneasily and then spoke to the child, "Xiao Bao, let me tell you, when you look like Mother, you’re with Mother, and when you look like Father, you’re with Father. Do you understand? There can be no objections."
 
The little baby looked at Shu Shu blankly.
 
Shu Shu, seeing this confused look, recalled that this child had not cried or made a fuss after coming out of the egg. He was simply saddened by this and felt that his child was really the cleverest child in the world, incomparable to anyone.
 
For a time, Shu Shu forgot about Reynolds. Only when Reynolds, who had put on clothes, walked up unsteadily to him while being supported by Jones and thanked him did he remember this man and reply, “It’s nothing. This little thing’s what I should do.”
 
“I should thank you too. If you have something later, don’t hesitate to find me. As long as I can get it done, I definitely won’t refuse.” Reynolds solemnly declared.
 
"I’m also the same." Jones chimed in.
 
"Oh . . . I still want to eat fish." Shu Shu gave it a try.
 
"I’ll have my men catch some fish right away!" Reynolds stated without the slightest hesitation, his gaze involuntarily fell on the child in Shu Shu’s arms.
 
Before, when the child was a little snake, he did not think that the child was cute, but now that the little snake had become a baby . . . . Reynolds subconsciously turned his head and looked at Jones.
 
"What are you thinking?" Jones gave Reynolds a quick glare, but his face was a bit red.
 
Reynolds directly spat out his beast bead, "I’ve long wanted to give it to you. Do you still want it now?"
 
"Don’t you know that you must wash it first before giving it to me? It's all saliva." Jones gave Reynolds another glare and then took Reynolds' beast bead and swallowed it.
 
Reynolds stared at Jones for a moment and abruptly turned into a white wolf. He howled loudly and ran away at lightning speed, leaving Jones to stare speechlessly at the torn clothes on the ground, which was caused by the sudden transformation.
 
Was there a beastman like this? Running away instead of accompanying the sub-beastman after the successful marriage proposal?
 
"He should be too happy . . ." Ian commented, but he was just as speechless as Jones. Reynolds was really too unreliable. No wonder he had never caught Jones in those days even though he had known Jones early.
 
Reynolds was indeed very happy. As long as he recalled that he could actually turned into a human, and that Jones had also eaten his beast bead and might be able to have his child soon, he could not help but want to find a place to jump around.
 
Running out like the wind, Reynolds had not run for long before he met his subordinates.
 
"Rowr!" His two subordinates looked at Reynolds in surprise: "Why did you also come? You aren’t . . ."
 
Reynolds was just thinking of looking for someone to show off. It was no good thing to show off in front of Shu Shu and others, but it was different now . . . . Reynolds swiftly turned into a man. He stood up in a stiff posture, walked back and forth a few steps, and then said, "How was it? I’m handsome, right?"
 
Stark naked was handsome? Moreover, this walking posture was simply the same as a child who just started walking . . . . Watching the humanoid Reynolds, the two subordinates were green with envy. They glanced at each other and suddenly charged into Reynolds together—a boss like this really made them want to violently beat him up!
 
Not far away, a leopard watched this scene. He was also very envious of Reynolds, but he did not join the ranks of those who ganged up and beat Reynolds. Rather, he began to run back.
 
The leopard ran all the way until he arrived in front of Shu Shu. He opened his space button and unexpectedly took out various baby stuff. Not to mention the small clothes and the small quilts, there was still a small cradle.
 
"So many things!" Shu Shu exclaimed, pleasantly surprised. In fact, he had prepared even more things in the imperial palace, but those were currently unavailable . . . . Hence, these stuff that had been out of date for several years already made him very satisfied.
 
The leopard put everything in front of Shu Shu and then began to write down his own experience on the sandy ground using his claws. He wrote a lot and fast, too. It did not take long for him to explain his situation clearly.
 
This leopard was just a very ordinary beastman before. There was nothing exceptional about him, and he was also not powerful at all. Meanwhile, he already had his own sub-beastman as well as two children.
 
Unfortunately, when he went out to play with his partner and children, he unexpectedly encountered a very serious car accident. The car accident seemed to be due to human error. Several involved cars also caused an explosion, which affected his small family car that was only passing by.
 
In order to protect his sub-beastman and children, he turned into his beast form. After he protected them safely, he fainted . . . . His sub-beastman and children survived, but his beast core was gone. Having become a fallen beast, he was sent here.
 
Until today, he had not seen his children for a full five years.
 
When the leopard mentioned his own children, his eyes were moist. Shu Shu had some pity for him and at once said, "I’ll definitely make you turn into a human form as soon as possible. When our search and rescue people come, you can go with us. "
 
“Thank you, thank you." The leopard repeatedly wrote.
 
"You’re welcome. Let me take a look at your situation first." Shu Shu said. He had only recovered a little bit of spiritual power; it was out of the question if he wanted to re-attempt turning the leopard into a human, but checking the leopard’s situation was no problem.
 
Shu Shu, holding the child, used his spiritual power to inspect the leopard’s body and found out that this leopard’s aptitude was incomparable with Reynolds’. If the leopard was really going to cultivate, it was estimated that he had to cultivate for more than one hundred years to turn into a human. Fortunately, Shu Shu thought of another method to help them.
 
After the inspection, Shu Shu called the leopard to sit beside Edgar, "You sit here. In this way, you can get a little benefit when Edgar cultivates, and when I help you tomorrow, I’ll also be able to do it a little more smoothly. "
 
They could help him tomorrow? The leopard was so excited that he nodded again and again. After that, in spite of Edgar's cold gaze, he sat beside Edgar—in order to be able to turn into a human again, he threw caution to the wind!
 
He really missed his family.
 
Edgar gave the leopard a quick glare and then started to cultivate without paying any attention to him, both minding their own businesses. At this time, some fallen beasts were coming back in succession. These fallen beasts basically came to bring Shu Shu gifts, but after they joyously and expectantly came back, they discovered that someone had already taken the lead. And the one taking the lead was a leopard who completely had no sense of existence in their ranks before . . . .
 
These fallen beasts were extremely depressed. However, it had already reached this point, and they could not force Shu Shu to treat them first.
 
Shu Shu could not attend to these fallen beasts at this moment. He took out the clothes given by the leopard and laid them on Xiao Bao’s body. He found a beautiful dress and wanted to dress Xiao Bao in it. As a result, he had just put Xiao Bao’s arm in one sleeve, and the arm became a tiny paw . . . .
 
Slowly putting the little snake in his arms on the ground and slowly climbing out of the circle formed by Edgar’s body, Shu Shu silently sat beside Ian.
 
"Shu Shu, why don't you bring your child over?" Ian looked at Shu Shu in puzzlement. He had long wanted to hold his grandson, but unfortunately, Shu Shu and Edgar always kept the child at their side, making him have no chance to hold the child.
 
"He turned into a snake again." Shu Shu replied sadly.
 
"Actually, I feel that after a long time, the little snake is also pretty cute." Ian, against his conscience, said. Although he felt that the snakes were also very good and quite amiable because his own child and grandson were snakes, but if you talked about being cute, those furry and fluffy little animals were actually cuter . . . . Come to think about it, Shu Shu was especially cute.
 
Looking at Shu Shu, Ian suddenly had an urge to make Shu Shu change into his original form so he could pet Shu Shu.
 
However, considering that the present fallen beasts would probably be left open-mouthed if Shu Shu turned into a hamster, Ian did not do any such thing in the end and even told Shu Shu not to let people see his original form by any means.
 
Ian believed that Jones would not tell others about Shu Shu's situation, but he did not dare to trust those fallen beasts.
 
"How good it is if Xiao Bao can always become a human." Shu Shu could not help but say and then touched his belly, "I don’t know whether it’s another snake or not inside this belly . . . ."
 
Thinking about it, Shu Shu couldn't help but shiver. He had already given birth to a snake; if he gave birth to a few more . . . he would be living in a snake's nest, ah!
 
This evening, Shu Shu had a nightmare.
 
He dreamed that he was lying down to sleep. He lay down, flipped over, and then turned into a little hamster. And when he was playing cheerfully on the bed, numerous snakes suddenly slithered from all directions while crying out, "Mother, mother!”
 
“Mother, give me a kiss.”
 
“Mother, give me a hug!”
 
“Mother, I’m hungry.”
 
. . . . .

He was frightened after seeing so many snakes, so he turned round and ran away. As a result, those snakes were unexpectedly unwilling to let go of him and pursued him closely. They chased after him, intercepted him, and encircled him . . . . The tiny hamster was simply surrounded by an army of little snakes! 

He ran and ran; he ran very fast but was nevertheless almost "caught" several times. Fortunately, he saw his savior Edgar at this moment. He promptly ran up to ask for help, "Edgar, save me!"
 
"Alright!" Edgar at once swept him up, "Let’s go, let's give birth to another little snake!"
 
"I don't want to!" Shu Shu was scared into wakefulness. After waking up, he practically cried without tears and was all the more determined to using contraception. Two little snakes, no, two children were already enough!
 
Of course, Edgar was now a fallen beast, so he did not have to think about this matter for the time being. Instead, he should first think of what to do to complete the tasks on his hands.
 
For example, how to turn a leopard into a human.
