41. I Really Have Money


Edgar halted and put on some clothes; his entire body felt like burning.   
 
He actually let the sub-beastman see his, his . . . .
 
Well, okay, after the beastmen changed into their beast forms, many of them were "naked", and it was very easy to see their equipment. But the snake beastmen’s equipment was usually hidden in their bodies. Edgar had never let the sub-beastman see it, and even his mother had never seen it!
 
What's more, the little sub-beastman also touched it. Touched it!
 
Edgar felt that place become rock hard. Even if he changed into his human form, a certain place still felt hot and not quite right.
 
His train of thought started to drift away, and he suddenly thought of one thing . . . . The little sub-beastman said that his equipment was cute?
 
It was said that many Felidae beastmen in their beast forms received lots of attention from the sub-beastmen because of their balls. There was actually an outspoken sub-beastman who organized an alliance that specialized in exchanging tips and tricks for playing with eggs. But the snake beastmen . . . no one had ever said that their equipment was cute, and some sub-beastmen even avoided them out of dislike of their beast forms.
 
After all, snake beastmen had two, which was different from ordinary people.
 
Since the little sub-beastman said they were cute, did it mean that the little sub-beastman would not avoid him out of dislike of his current appearance?
 
Edgar's line of thought floated far away. Meanwhile, Shu Shu was finally reacting to what he had touched.
 
When he saw a snake in the wild, he ran away. He had never paid attention to a snake's reproductive organs. When he saw two snakes coupled together, he thought they were fighting. In any case, he later watched the Animal World.
 
He heard that snakes had two . . . *cough cough*.
 
Shu Shu was really embarrassed having actually touched his disciple’s vital parts. He glanced at Edgar apologetically: "I'm sorry, I . . ."

"Never mind." Edgar quickly interrupted Shu Shu’s speech and then said: "I’ll take you to eat first."
 
Shu Shu also felt that the situation would be very awkward if he apologized, so he just walked behind Edgar silently.
 
In fact, they were all men. Taking a quick look and giving it a touch were nothing, right? Moreover, it happened while Edgar was in his beast form . . . . When he had been a hamster, a woman had grabbed him to look at his balls.
 
Thinking this way, Shu Shu was more relaxed. But watching Edgar, who was walking in front of him, he always thought that this man's back was particularly stiff. Anyway, it might be that he was wrong. Edgar was a soldier, so his body was usually rigid like this.
 
Taking a nut out of his food pouch, Shu Shu started to nibble on it slowly. He felt that the biggest advantage of his cultivation was that he didn't have to worry about getting a stomach ache because of bad food. Other hamsters couldn't eat this and couldn’t eat that, and if they ate a little too much bread or insects, they would suffer from excessive internal heat. He, however, totally didn't need to worry about it.
 
“Crunch crunch”, “crunch crunch” . . . . Hearing the sound of the sub-beastman gnawing at some food behind him, Edgar, who originally felt uncomfortable from head to foot, slowly returned to normal at last.
 
The sub-beastman did not feel uncomfortable, why should he fell uncomfortable? However, the matter of pursuing the sub-beastman demanded immediate action.
 
After all, the sub-beastman had seen him.
 
"Shu Shu, you’re in the capital star, so you need an identity. I plan to set you up as my mother's relative. What do you think?" Edgar asked while they were eating breakfast.
 
"Okay." Shu Shu nodded and was a little excited. He would finally have an ID card? When he was on Earth, in order to be able to have an official identity and not become an unregistered resident after passing through the heavenly tribulation, he had specially learned by heart some fake ID card numbers. He didn’t expect that he now didn’t need a fake ID card to be able to have an ID, and a real one to boot.
 
"That's settled then. Your full name is Shu Shu, and your age?" Edgar asked again and conveniently mentioned: "In the Beastman Empire, sub-beastmen become adults at the age of 18."
 
"I . . ." Shu Shu really wanted to say that he was of the same age as Edgar, but then he remembered that his face did not look like a 30-year-old. He could only feel wronged and said, "I’m eighteen."
 
Edgar thought carefully, "I’ll have someone assist you with the identity chip, and I’ll give it to you tomorrow."
 
"Alright." Shu Shu nodded.
 
"After we eat, I’ll take you to buy some things." Edgar said again.
 
Edgar had contacted his staff in the capital star last night. In the light of the original situation, it was best if he sent out a formal statement after he arrived at the capital star. Or he could meet with the reporters to clarify all the previous matters. However, what happened yesterday made the netizens automatically wash him clean. Now he didn't need to do another superfluous thing and also had a few days of free time.

He had said so many good things about the capital star to Shu Shu, so naturally, he had to bring Shu Shu to look around in the next few days.
 
The little sub-beastman was still wearing the cheap clothes bought in Gass planet. Edgar should buy him some clothes . . . . When Calvin pursued a sub-beastman, it seemed that he would bring them to buy clothes every time?
 
Shu Shu’s eyes lit up, and his eating speed went faster.
 
After eating, Edgar took Shu Shu aboard an aircraft, and they flew to the capital star's busiest business district.
 
Meanwhile, Chris and Ian finished eating breakfast and asked about their son's whereabouts.
 
Beastmen generally did not like the existence of other beastmen in their own territory, and sub-beastmen also did not like having other sub-beastmen near their own beastmen. Therefore, even though they were emperor and empress, there were no servant at their side. Of course, there were still some assistants, guards, gardeners, chefs, and so on, but they lived far away. In general, only the robots stayed close to the emperor and the empress.
 
Chris and Ian were currently asking the robot.
 
"His Imperial Highness Edgar took an aircraft and left the Imperial Palace two minutes ago. The chosen destination of the aircraft was the business district." Robot 001 answered.
 
"This guy, just as he grew a little bit bigger, he was already unwilling to accompany me to the business district to go shopping. But now he actually went to accompany others!" Empress Ian said, laughing.
 
Beastmen's desire for monopoly was very strong; they would drive their sons out of their home early on. Chris, who had also done so, immediately stated, "I can accompany you."

"All right." Ian replied.
 
Chris’ expression was stiff; he still had a lot of works to do . . . . But since he had already promised, he naturally had to risk his life to accompany the sub-beastman.
 
Flying an aircraft, the emperor and the empress also went to the business district.
 
Edgar rarely came to the business district. After all, he didn't buy clothes, wasn’t a foodie, and also didn't want to buy anything else . . . . But he had been brought there when he had been a child. He remembered that every time his mother came to the business district, he went straight to a few stores. Those stores were the ones with very good security.
 
Edgar initially planned to go directly to those stores, but in the end . . . .
 
"Jeress once took me to go shopping when I was on Gass planet, and it was very fun. Unfortunately, I had no money . . . . Is there a lot of delicious food here? How about we buy and taste each and every food from one end of street to the other?" Shu Shu said.


Edgar: "..." As if the place he originally planned to go did not sell snacks at all?
 
Taking a look at Shu Shu's appearance, Edgar immediately realized that he might not be considerate enough. Shu Shu didn't know much about dining etiquette; if Edgar insisted on taking him to places that were too high-end, Shu Shu might not get used to it.
 
But if Edgar went to places where ordinary people visited, his identity . . . .
 
Opening the space button, Edgar took out a bottle and started to spray the content onto his face.
 
Edgar used his hand to smear the liquid inside the bottle that was evenly sprayed on his face, and his skin color turned a shade darker. He took another bottle and sprayed the content on his hair, and his black hair became brown.
 
After doing all these things, Edgar still changed his hairstyle and put on a pair of sunglasses.
 
"You put on makeup just to go out? But I think you looked better before." Shu Shu commented.

"I didn’t put on makeup; it’s only to make others unable to recognize me." Edgar said. Then he stopped the aircraft that had been circling overhead the business district for a lap or two at the business district’s largest stopping point—the aircraft he flew out this time had no special signs, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered by others.
 
People from the capital star came to the business district to do their shopping. Basically, they all would stop their vehicles at this stopping point, which made the outside of this stopping point very, very lively to the extent of being practically overcrowded.
 
Shu Shu had never been to such a lively place. For a moment, he could only gape at it.
 
Edgar was inattentive, and there were already several people coming between him and Shu Shu. He was silent for a moment and then squeezed Shu Shu to his side, holding Shu Shu's hand.
 
"Why are we suddenly holding hands?" Shu Shu was not used to it. Two big men holding hands was really weird.
 
"Lots of people here. You can get lost." Edgar said. "And other people are also holding hands."
 
Shu Shu looked around and indeed discovered that many people were holding hands. Some of them were also carrying children and pets. For example, there were two men in front of him who not only were walking together hand in hand, but also pulling an animal on a tether. There was a small baby hanging on the tall one’s chest while a small leopard was following behind.
 
The people in this place actually made a leopard as a house pet, ah . . . . After Shu Shu took a few more peeps, he suddenly recalled one thing.
 
The people in this place were all beastmen, so that leopard . . . most probably wasn’t a pet but a child . . . .
 
He was just thinking so when he saw a puppy on another tall man’s shoulder suddenly turn into a baby and take a tumble. Fortunately, before falling to the ground, he was easily fished back up by the tall man. The tall man did not hold the baby. He purposely wrapped the baby in a blanket and then, carrying the baby under his armpit, continued to walk ahead.
 
The people here were really incredible! Shu Shu started to look around in high spirits. Then he discovered that those who were like himself—sub-beastmen who showed some beast aspects on their bodies—seemed to be particularly taken care of.
 
For example, a cat-eared little sub-beastman who looked like a five or six years old was still being held, while those beastmen who could become beasts had to walk behind their parents even though they were still very small . . . . Right when Shu Shu was thinking like this, he suddenly saw a sub-beastman with big belly passing by.
 
Right, sub-beastmen had to give birth to children! Really, there’s nothing to envy there!
 
Shu Shu no longer looked at people but began to pay attention to various kinds of foods in the surrounding shops.
 
Those foods smelled so good and looked so tasty . . . .
 
"I have a card here. Anything you want to eat, you go buy it yourself." Edgar handed out his own card without the slightest hesitation.
 
Shu Shu had been a little restrained when spending the borrowed money before, but now that he was spending Edgar's money, he was not restrained at all and started to swipe the card incessantly.
 
He wanted roasted meat, roasted wings, and also roasted intestines. He wanted nuts, candies, and also fruits. He wanted cakes, drinks, and ice cream too.
 
Edgar took a quick look at the communication device on his hand. Without much effort, more than ten transactions had already been exchanged. Alas, the amount of each transaction was very small and only added up to more than a thousand credits.
 
He remembered that his former sub-beastman classmates at the Imperial College had to pay so much money just for a pre-dinner dessert. His little sub-beastman only spent this little bit of money and already stroked his belly from eating nonstop, and he seemed to be hiding a lot of food in his food pouches as well.
 
And not only that, Edgar also ate a lot of those foods.
 
"This roasted bird is very delicious; you try it too." Shu Shu bought another whole roasted bird, but he was already unable to eat any more. He tore a bird leg to taste the flavor and then gave the rest to Edgar.
 
During the whole journey, Edgar had already been stuffed with lots of food by Shu Shu, but he still hated to refuse Shu Shu, so he took the proffered bird and started to chew it.
 
His attention was all on the little sub-beastman to the point that he didn’t even realize that he had actually chewed the bones when eating the bird.
 
"Hey, do you see that beastman wearing sunglasses? Doesn’t he look like His Imperial Highness Edgar?" A sub-beastman suddenly spoke to his sub-beastman companions at his side.
 
"The outline is a little similar, but His Imperial Highness definitely won’t be like this." The man’s companion looked over and happened to see Edgar chew the whole bird without spitting out any of the bones. Overall, he thought it was quite an appalling sight.
 
"From the start, I only said that he’s a little alike." The man who spoke first took a few more quick looks at Edgar and then regretfully left.
 
Shu Shu was also very regretful at this time: "I can't eat any more."
 
"Stop eating if you can’t eat any more. We’ll come again next time. We go buy clothes now?" Edgar said.
 
"Okay." Shu Shu nodded and licked his lips. "The food in the capital star is indeed more delicious than in Gass planet. Things here are very expensive, though. You can buy a strand of roasted meat for two credits in Gass planet, but you need six credits here."
 
Shu Shu was a little resentful of it, so to speak.
 
Edgar who had handed out a card that had several hundred million credits in it and could still overdraw more: ". . ."
 
Although Shu Shu did not plan to continue buying food, but he still got a box of popcorn to eat. At the same time, he was constantly looking at the surrounding shops.
 
As for Edgar, he was sending a message to Calvin: "Do you have time? I want to ask you about something."

"Asking about yesterday’s matters? Every beastman who suddenly became beast is especially clean. That is, they all ate some things from a mobile stall. It’s very likely that they became beasts because they’d consumed some bad things . . . . I still haven’t investigated who the man behind the scenes is.” Calvin quickly replied.
 
"I’m not asking about this. I want to ask the brand of clothes worn by sub-beastmen." Edgar messaged back.
 
"Edgar, do you want to buy clothes for Uncle Ian? These days, Uncle Ian is really worried about you. You should buy something for him. Sub-beastmen of his age and status like to go to Khamun Studio to look for Mr. Khamun’s custom-made clothes. Otherwise, just buy the clothes from XXX, XX, and XXXX.” Calvin quickly sent another message.
 
"I want to buy clothes for a young sub-beastman." Edgar said.
 
"A young sub-beastman?! Edgar, do you have a boyfriend?" Calvin nearly leapt to his feet.
 
"Well, I’m chasing after him." Edgar answered.
 
"Take him to the center of the business district. Just go straight to the Imperial Plaza over there and let him get whatever he wants!" Calvin replied. The Imperial Plaza was the Imperial family’s property. Every luxury good and brand name of the Beastman Empire made its home in there. The security measures were better than the first class ones. Moreover, Edgar, as the crown prince, could pay all the bills . . . .
 
Getting whatever he wanted from that place was something he dreamed of day and night! It was a pity that the Imperial family had no sub-beastman. Otherwise, he would’ve already gone and lived with his wife's family.
 
The Imperial Plaza was one of the places that Edgar wanted to go before. He remembered that there were several restaurants in the building that were pretty good to have a meal at . . . . Edgar was just planning to take Shu Shu there when he was suddenly dragged into a shop.
 
“The clothes here look very nice.” Shu Shu saw some clothes displayed in the shop’s display window, so he pulled Edgar to enter the shop.
 
Edgar looked around the shop and found that it was quite big. It sold beastman clothes, sub-beastman clothes, and also children clothes. There was a sign on the side wall informing that there was also a second floor, which seemed to sell shoes. Next to the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, there were some backpacks hanging from the hooks.

Although he had just asked Calvin for a place suitable to take a sub-beastman to buy clothes, but buying clothes was in fact secondary. The sub-beastman’s happiness was the most important . . . . Seeing Shu Shu  look at the clothes in high spirits, Edgar silently kept pace with him while trying to pay attention to the brand of this shop in passing.
 
This brand was not among the few brands that Calvin had mentioned, but there were quite a lot of clothes that could be bought. In addition, they looked a bit familiar, so they should be pretty good.
 
Edgar felt reassured. However, he did not realize that sometimes, it was these inexpensive brand names that made people feel familiar. The shop he was in now was very famous for its inexpensive brand name in the Beastman Empire. Many people in the capital star would come here to buy clothes.
 
Of course, although it was an inexpensive brand name, but it was still a brand name in the end. There were special design styles and various specialty stores, and the quality of clothes was also good, so the price was not particularly cheap.
 
Anyway, this not-cheap-at-all was from the perspective of ordinary people. The clothes in this shop were generally several hundred credits per piece, and the most expensive ones were one or two thousand credits. With a discount, many clothes could still be bought for one or two hundred credits . . . which was really very cheap. When speaking about custom-made clothes, one of them was no less than several ten thousand or hundred thousand credits. As for the formal attire of the Imperial family, it might probably cost millions of credits.
 
Shu Shu saw a sub-beastman whose build was almost the same as his choose a suit-style little jacket. Close-fitting, the jacket made the whole person look very masculine while still showing a slender waist. Shu Shu immediately got one of the same model and put it on his body.
 
As a daemon, although he had no abdominal muscles, but his figure was still perfect. When he wore the clothes, he looked extremely good.
 
"Ed . . ." Shu Shu wanted to call Edgar but suddenly remembered that Edgar seemed to be hiding his identity. He immediately changed the way he called Edgar: "Disciple, do you think I look good wearing these clothes?"

"Look good." Edgar said. The sub-beastman used to wear casual clothes before, so Edgar couldn't see his figure. Now that the sub-beastman wore such clothes . . . he looked very irresistible.
 
Shu Shu smiled and took another glance at that sub-beastman who also came to buy clothes. After he realized that the pants worn by the other party were also slim-fit and seemed to match well with these clothes, he promptly went to find a pair of pants just like the other party’s and then went into the dressing room to change pants.
 
After putting on a whole set of clothes, he looked even more wonderful! Shu Shu ecstatically admired his own appearance in the mirror.
 
Looking at Shu Shu, Edgar recalled the movie they had watched on the spaceship and what had happened this morning. Obviously, his body temperature was always quite low because he was a snake beastman, but now he felt his body getting hotter and hotter.
 
At this moment, Shu Shu was still paying attention to that sub-beastman who also came to buy clothes. That sub-beastman already took off the suit and changed into a beige windbreaker. Not only that, but he also changed the inner clothes and pants.
 
There were several pieces of the same style of clothes in this shop. Shu Shu observed the sub-beastman and looked for the clothes identical to what the sub-beastman was wearing, and then he went into the dressing room to change into a set of clothes just like the other party’s.
 
He had never bought clothes before and, in addition, had no aesthetics at all, so he could only follow other people.
 
"What about this set? How do they look?" Shu Shu changed clothes and came in front of Edgar.
 
Even more irresistible . . . . Edgar suddenly had a little regret; he should not take the little sub-beastman to buy clothes. After dressing up, the little sub-beastman was more and more good-looking. What’s to be done if he was stared at by others?
 
Although the little sub-beastman had decided to stay in the capital star in the future, but, looking at the current situation, Edgar would definitely be very busy later on and not necessarily be able to accompany the little sub-beastman all the time . . . .
 
However, it was wrong to lie . . . . Edgar nodded,"Look good."
 
"Hahaha, I look good wearing anything!" Shu Shu was somewhat proud of himself and once again went to observe the sub-beastman who had been imitated twice by himself.
 
That sub-beastman sent a quick glare to Shu Shu and then carried another set of clothes into the dressing room.
 
Being suddenly glared at, Shu Shu failed to understand the reason why, but he thought that that sub-beastman was very capable in dressing up. Shu Shu completely didn’t know what clothes he should buy, so in the end, he just chose the same model.
 
Once Shu Shu came out in those clothes, he saw that the sub-beastman was already outside and wearing the same clothes.
 
Seeing Shu Shu, the sub-beastman’s complexion was very unsightly. He stared at Shu Shu for a while and finally walked toward Shu Shu, "Hey! Can’t you stop imitating the clothes I wear?!"

This sub-beastman was called Frank, and his family financial situation was average. He always wore inexpensive clothes, but his eyes were good, and he could always match up to other people distinctively.
 
But today, someone had actually been learning to match up to him. Frank felt heartbroken! He didn't want other people to wear the same outfit as him at all! Especially when he bumped into said people inside and outside.

"Eh?" Shu Shu was a little embarrassed. "I haven’t learned how to buy clothes, so I want to learn from you. Is it no good?"
 
Shu Shu looked young and also had a good manner. Frank actually wasn’t that angry. "Of course it’s no good. How embarrassing it is to wear the same outfit as somebody else! Moreover, a piece of clothing fits everyone differently. My attire’s pretty good, but in fact, it’s not necessarily suitable for you.”

“But I don’t know what’s suitable for me to wear . . . . Can you teach me?” Shu Shu asked again.
 
Shu Shu's eyes were full of sincerity. Nevertheless, Frank turned his head and frowned. "How could you casually look for someone on the street to help you match clothes? Where’s your mother?"

"Mother? She already died." Shu Shu said. He had already forgotten what the hamster elder who gave birth to him looked like.
 
Frank was still a bit angry before, but seeing Shu Shu like this now, he actually had some sympathy for Shu Shu. "Forget about it, I’ll help you match a few sets . . . . You’re wearing sneakers now; it’s no good to match clothes with them. I’ll help you pick two pairs of shoes first." He glanced at Edgar again as he spoke.

This little sub-beastman before his eyes was brought to buy clothes by that beastman. Looking at that beastman’s appearance, that beastman was most likely pursuing this sub-beastman. Since it was like this, it was alright for him to help this sub-beastman pick a few good clothes and let the beastman pay for them.
 
Frank pulled Shu Shu and turned over the brandless, very ugly clothes that Shu Shu had been wearing ever since he came to Gass planet. Then, in one breath, he picked five full sets of clothes for Shu Shu. Shu Shu became even more good-looking with each set of clothes.
 
Edgar: I really want to hide the little sub-beastman away and not let others see him!
 
"Alright, let's pay." Frank said. He himself also picked two sets and planned to go to the checkout counter together with Shu Shu.
 
“So many clothes; aren’t they a little too many?” Shu Shu was a bit mixed-up. He had a really great time trying on clothes, but he felt like he was buying a little too many.

He had seen the marked price of the clothes. For example, the shirt mentioned above was 499 credits, which was not cheap, ah . . . . The nightwear he bought for Edgar before was only 29 credits.
 
"It’s not many at all. Didn't you say that you didn't have any clothes?" Frank said. He had chatted with Shu Shu and already known that this person had just come to the capital star. Because Shu Shu had no clothes to wear, the beastman called "Disciple" took him out to buy clothes.
 
"But they’re very expensive . . ." Shu Shu said again. The five sets of clothes were very complete; there were baselayers, coats, pants, and also shoes. Frank even helped him pick some socks.
 
Frank turned towards Edgar, frowning.
 
Edgar had been waiting silently for quite a long time. If it were not for Frank being a sub-beastman, he thought he would surely go up and tear into people because the little sub-beastman had been chatting with others, and very happily, too.
 
As for now . . . .
 
Picking up the clothes at Shu Shu’s side, Edgar put them on the checkout counter: "All bought."
 
"Hello! A total of 10,425 credits." The sub-beastman behind the checkout counter said.
 
"More than ten thousand?" Shu Shu flinched. How much barbecue that could buy, ah!
 
Although the clothes were very nice, but they only affected how a person looked. He felt that his own fur was still the most comfortable. In this case, how was it necessary to spend over ten thousand to buy clothes?
 
"It’s too much. Let's buy a few less items." Shu Shu took hold of the bag. Although he wanted to make Edgar keep him, but he also felt embarrassed to spend too much . . . . He already ate so much!
 
Frank stood on the side and felt a little embarrassed as well. Thinking that it was the beastman who paid for the clothes anyway, when he chose for Shu Shu, he only considered whether the clothes looked nice or not and didn’t consider the price . . . . It indeed seemed a little too much to spend more than ten thousand to buy clothes at one go.
 
But there was nothing to be done about it. Who let this sub-beastman to not even have an underwear before? And apparently, he also only had a pair of shoes!
 
"It’s all right. They don’t cost much money. You can even go back and buy everything in this shop; it’s no problem at all." Edgar said.

"It’s really too much!" Shu Shu still hated to use so much money to buy clothes that were of little use.
 
"How about . . . leaving out two pairs of shoes and two shirts?" Frank interjected.
 
"No need, I have plenty of money." Edgar stated in quite an imposing manner. After saying so, his heart was rather stuffy. Obviously, other sub-beastman would spend over ten thousand to buy a single headscarf! Why should Shu Shu cut down on his purchase?
 
"Hehe, if you have plenty of money, why do you pretend to be an overbearing president in this kind of shop?" A pretty sub-beastman came in from the outside and gave Frank a scornful look. "Frank, you’re poor, but I didn’t expect that your friends are even poorer.”
 
Edgar: I really have money!
 


Author’s note:
Shu Shu: Edgar brings me to XXXX，picking up so many clothes and shoes. When I look in the mirror, I don’t recognize who the boy in the mirror is.
Edgar: . . . .
Calvin: You both wake up! I’m at the Imperial Plaza, and I’ve been looking for you for more than half a day. How can you be here? Why would you be here and even turn your back on those expensive clothes? Why?


TL's notes:
1. Those XXX, XX, and XXXX are really written like that
2. 上门 (shàng mén) = to go and live with one's wife's family, in effect becoming a member of her family. Calvin wants to marry into the Imperial family so he can buy whatever he wants ^^
3. Before, I translated 母父 (mǔ fù) = mother/origin/female father as birth father. But now I've changed it to mother, because it's weird if Edgar calls birth father in dialogues.

40. Living in the Imperial Palace


The people around had calmed down and were unlikely to hysterically obstruct the road again, and the duel was also settled. There was nothing left to do . . . . 
 
Edgar turned towards the crowd: "Calvin."
 
"Here!" Calvin emerged from between a group of sub-beastmen in the crowd and arrived in front of Edgar, revealing his handsome face to public scrutiny.
 
"Those star pirates have been handed over to you. Also, arrest all the men who transformed into beasts today." Edgar said. Calvin was the Deputy Bureau Chief of Capital Star Police Department. They had been classmates and were now close friends. Prior to arriving at the capital star, Edgar had already notified Calvin to have him keep order and also take those star pirates away. Obviously, based on the current situation, the number of people Calvin had to take away was estimated to be more than he initially thought.
 
"No problem." Calvin immediately replied while looking at Edgar with curiosity. He was very curious about Edgar's sudden increase in strength. Unfortunately, they couldn’t chat more since this was not a place to talk.
 
After Calvin finished talking, he waved his hand as a signal. One by one, the policemen who had striven to keep order stood up. They glanced at Edgar with admiration and then began to arrest the rioting men while receiving those star pirates at the same time.
 
Edgar had literally beaten fear into those star pirates. Each and every one of them were very well-behaved, and receiving them did not take much trouble at all. On the contrary, those few beastmen who had transformed into beasts were difficult to deal with.

"You’re a rhinoceros. I can't handcuff you because you’re too big. Quickly change back." A few policemen said to the huge rhinoceros.
 
The rhinoceros lying prone on the ground looked at the policeman with grievances, and yet, he was unable to move. He was innocent; he didn’t know why he suddenly changed into his original form. Now, he couldn’t even change back into a human . . . .
 
The policeman urged the rhinoceros a few times, but seeing no response, he couldn't help but frown. At this moment, Calvin came over. He grabbed the huge rhinoceros that probably weighed several tons, lifted it up over his head, and walked outside. After that, he tossed it into a truck that had just come in.
 
After doing all these things effortlessly, Calvin smiled and took the rest of the beastmen who had transformed into beasts away.
 
These men actually dared to look for trouble under his eyes . . . . Calvin's smile was deeper.

Other policemen who saw Calvin’s smiling expression shivered. Every time their boss smiled, bad things would happen!
 
In contrast, several sub-beastmen nearby were watching Edgar and Calvin excitedly: "His Imperial Highness is so handsome!"

"The policeman is also very handsome. He even helped us before."
 
"I prefer His Imperial Highness."
 
"His Imperial Highness is too cold. I was afraid to death just now . . . . I think the policeman is more approachable!"

. . . . . .

Edgar had used level suppression to make every beastman on the scene feel afraid, but they all felt much better now. Sub-beastmen were not beastmen; strong beastmen actually wouldn’t make them feel afraid and would only make them feel like chasing said beastmen. Even now, the sub-beastmen  had completely recovered.
 
However, the situation just now had given them a scare. They did not dare to play around now and only dared to say a few words in private.
 
Kamille and the other star pirates very clearly saw the way Calvin threw the beastmen who had transformed into beasts, and they also felt the pressure that came out from Edgar’s body previously. For a moment, they were as timid as a well-behaved child.
 
The people in the capital star were truly too powerful. By all means, they had to stop doing any more funny business in the future!
 
Speaking of strength, they had really been too arrogant. They escaped several military pursuits and thought that they were very powerful. And the truth was? Let’s say that the people they hid from were more powerful than them.
 
Right, just now, they seemed to hear that someone was planning to find that Edgar for a duel?
 
When these pirates passed by Geo, all of them sized Geo up all the way through, and then, they inevitably frowned with contempt across their whole faces. This kind of man who, from the start, wouldn’t look them in the eye wanted to duel with that monster, too? There was definitely something wrong on the brain of this man!
 
These star pirates were very unfriendly when looking at Geo. Although the vast majority of them were worse than Geo in terms of strength, but they all had experienced numerous battles and wandered the interstellar space for a long time. They were a little spiteful since a good deal of them were still sporting injuries after getting beaten up by Edgar . . . .

Geo was originally intimidated by Edgar’s pressure. And now, he started to shiver harder as he saw these heavily injured, vicious star pirates glare at him up close.
 
Anyway, this expression of his was broadcasted to the star network through the webcams, and almost everyone who were closely following the situation here saw it. For a second, the people who had supported him before felt a painful heat on their face, just like getting a slap on the face, and they all didn't dare to say anything on the star network.
 
At the same time, some netizens began to analyze Geo’s psychology. Normal people naturally wouldn’t run out to offend the Imperial family without rhyme or reason. Geo should be a person who sorely lacked a sense of existence but also vain. He wanted to "show" himself by means of some incidents, so he stood up and said those things . . . .
 
Everyone discussed Geo and also began to discuss that new recruit. That was to say, today, the military made public the training materials of said new recruit at that time and indicated that this new recruit had been reluctant to listen and obey orders and had already been asked to retire from military service at an earlier time.

If this kind of evidence came out early, everyone might still judge that the military wanted to clear Edgar. But since it came out now, everyone believed it.
 
"I’m at the scene. I’m a four-star beastman, but when His Imperial Highness’ pressure came forth, I couldn't move at all."
 
"His Imperial Highness is so powerful. Does he need to find a sense of existence from the weak just like those losers?"
 
"I don't know who is targeting His Imperial Highness, but they’re really malicious by targeting the Imperial family!"
 
"Exactly! The previous incidents are undoubtedly someone’s plan!"

. . . . . .

The Imperial family's prosperous and grand life could occasionally make people hate the rich, but the vast majority of the populace did not have any ill will toward the Imperial family. They got angry before, but it was because they were worried that the Imperial family might truly hide the truth from the masses. They were worried that Edgar, who had become a fallen beast and hurt and killed people, would get off scot-free . . . .
 
Now, they unexpectedly found out that the Imperial family might have been framed by someone. Naturally, their previous worries completely ceased to exist, and for a time, they actually started to sympathize with the Imperial family.
 
His Imperial Highness was really unlucky; he was actually framed by others!
 
Edgar did not know about all kinds of reactions from the netizens. At this moment, he and Shu Shu already took a seat on the aircraft and set out for the Imperial Palace.

The soldiers and the boatmen who came with them would be given a lift to check in at a certain hotel, but Shu Shu would definitely go with him . . . . When his emperor father and empress mother sent an aircraft to pick him up, Edgar was still pondering how he was going to introduce Shu Shu to people. As it turned out, he discovered that the driver who was taking him and Shu Shu back did not show any peculiarity.
 
Of course everyone would not show any peculiarity. You should know that the empress had already given prior notice, and right now, the emperor and the empress were watching Shu Shu’s images!
 
Earlier, there were so many webcams on the scene, and one of the webcams was sent by them beforehand. The webcam initially captured Edgar’s images, but later, it went straight to Shu Shu.
 
"When I saw the photos Leva had sent, I thought he’s a little timid. Now it seems that his courage is still quite big. He’s also lively and cute." Ian watched the video recording on his hand with satisfaction. On the video, Shu Shu was bouncing up and down in his attempt to see Edgar.
 
His Imperial Majesty Chris nodded. "He’s just a little too young."
 
Ian sighed, "Yes, a little too young . . ." The child looked like a minor, or a barely legal adult . . . . Hopefully, the child only looked conspicuously young because of his baby face. He definitely had to ask later.

Chris saw his own sub-beastman at a loss and immediately said: "It doesn’t matter if he’s a little too young. In the message Jones sent, didn’t Edgar say that the origin of this child was a bit strange and that he didn’t know anything at all about the language of our Empire and the situation outside? In fact, he should go to school for two years to understand our Empire first."
 
"Yes." Ian nodded.
 
The first time they became aware of Shu Shu, it was from the message sent by Jones. The message was actually written by Edgar. At that time, Edgar explained that he had become a fallen beast. He also said that a sub-beastman had helped him, and he wished they would take good care of said sub-beastman. Well, said sub-beastman was undoubtedly Shu Shu.
 
They just got this information and didn't even have time to digest it yet when they quickly learned about Edgar being fine at the press conference.
 
Then they waited for another three days, and they received some more news.
 
Edgar succinctly told them that he was fine and would return soon. Jones, however, sent a section of a video to them; a section of a video where Edgar was being struck by lightning.

In that section of a video, there was a sub-beastman whose face was charred black by lightning strikes. Afterwards, Edgar kissed that sub-beastman . . . .
 
Their son, in this situation, ah!
 
They anxiously wanted to know the news of that sub-beastman. When they received a photo sent by Leva, they were extremely happy. After that, they discovered that the sub-beastman looked pretty good, and that the spaceship Edgar took was approaching the capital star. Later, they contacted Jones and learned more about this sub-beastman from Jones. For example, Edgar being able to become a human again should have something to do with Shu Shu.
 
This sub-beastman had saved their son!
 
At present, even if their son didn't like this sub-beastman, they would still be very grateful to him. But since their son liked this sub-beastman . . . .
 
Chris and Ian glanced at each other and made some preparation to meet their son’s partner.
 
The aircraft carrying Edgar flew straight into the Imperial Palace and stopped in front of a beautiful house. Edgar came down from the aircraft and finally saw his own two fathers.
 
"Emperor Father, Empress Mother." Edgar called.
 
Shu Shu stood next to Edgar. As a mere hamster, he had never experienced paying a visit to the elders . This time, he managed to stammer, "Hello."
 
"Hello." Both Chris and Ian ignored Edgar and turned towards the sub-beastman at Edgar’s side.
 
No sub-beastman had been born in the Imperial family for thousands of years. Chris and Ian were still young when they first gave birth to Edgar. They thought they might be able to have another child, but in reality . . . . So many years had passed; Edgar was already thirtysomething, and they still did not have a second child, nor did they give birth to a sub-beastman.
 
"Your name is Susu? Truly a well-behaved child." Ian said, smiling.
 
"It’s not Susu; it’s Shu Shu." Edgar said. "He saved me and made me able to become a human again. He even helped me awaken the bloodline."
 
"Thank you." Chris thanked Shu Shu.
 
Their son spoke so much as soon as he came up. He obviously attached great importance to Shu Shu. When Ian faced Shu Shu, his expression was softer: "After travelling all the way here and running into some troubles, too, you must be tired, right? Come on in with me, I’ve prepared a meal for you.”
 
Hearing that there was food, Shu Shu, who had been taught by Edgar that the capital star had a lot of delicious food, instantly looked eager. Ian glanced at him with a smile and then stepped forward, taking his hand and leading him to walk ahead.
 
Shu Shu was not used to holding hands with someone. Still, Ian was mild-mannered; Shu Shu couldn’t help but had a good opinion of him. Consequently, it made him think of some of his previous conjectures.
 
He had always thought that Edgar had stayed alone in the forest because he had been cast aside by his parents. Now, it seemed that it wasn’t like that at all?
 
As Edgar’s master, when he had a chance, he had to ask what exactly was it all about . . . . At that time in the forest, Edgar could only hunt and eat his food raw; he was really so pitiful.
 
Shu Shu followed Ian to the dining hall and then saw a table full of fine food.

He hadn't started to eat, but just looking at the presentation of food and smelling its aroma, he couldn’t help but feel like drooling. He wished he could throw himself at it straightway and gorge himself.
 
"I’m hungry." Edgar took the initiative to speak.
 
Ian glanced at his son with a funny expression and bid his son and the sub-beastman his son fell for to take their seats.
 
His son had not cried out hungry for a long, long time. He thought he could never hear it again in his lifetime. He did not expect that his son would cry out for others now.
 
Sure enough, the food was very delicious!
 
Shu Shu was very happy to eat. The other three people at the table saw him so happy to eat and felt their own appetites improve as well.
 
Shu Shu didn't hide the food in his food pouches this time. He also restrained himself, so he didn't eat too much . . . . Of course, even if he did so, he had eaten more than the vast majority of the sub-beastmen would eat. After eating his fill, he finally couldn't help his curiosity and asked Ian who was especially friendly to him: "Why would Edgar live in the forest before? Did you throw him away because you didn’t want him?"
 
Ian stared blankly then laughed in spite of himself. "Of course not! Why would you think so?"
 
Chris also glanced at Shu Shu with astonishment and immediately had a better impression of this sub-beastman. This sub-beastman was unable to conceal his worries. He looked simple, but he could ask such questions on this kind of occasion without being afraid of offending them. It seemed that he was also sincere toward Edgar.
 
"His life wasn’t so good because he was alone in the forest." Shu Shu said. "Anyway, it’s best if you had nothing to do with it."

"We’ve been looking for him before, but we didn't expect that he would be in that forest." Ian replied. Seeing that Shu Shu was done eating, he immediately began to chat with Shu Shu and also explained the incident of Edgar’s disappearance. "He went missing on another planet. I don’t know how he escaped to Gass planet."
 
"Maybe he passed through some space!" Shu Shu commented.

Previously, thinking that Edgar was a crown prince, Shu Shu assumed that Edgar’s family was very, very big and its rules very strict, and that his parents definitely had a hard time getting along. But when he finally came, he found out that the situation was completely different from what he thought. At once, he breathed a sigh of relief; he could put his mind at rest now.
 
Even though Shu Shu had seen many movies and TV shows, but he actually had never had social intercourse with people. He had not talked long with Ian, but Ian already obtained a lot of information out of him. He managed to not say that he used to be a little hamster before, but he divulged the matter of him coming from another place. Fortunately, Ian and Chris did not take this matter seriously.
 
Since Shu Shu had no malice toward them, where he came from was unimportant.
 
When Shu Shu and Edgar arrived at the Imperial Palace, it was already late in the afternoon. After having a meal and talking for a while, the sky was already dark.
 
"You’ve gone through a long-distance interstellar trip. Now you need to take a good sleep. Quickly go to rest." Ian said with a smile. "Edgar, I’ve already had some people tidy up a room next door to your own room. You can let Shu Shu stay in there.”
 
“Mother, we’re off.” Edgar said, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curved up. His mother’s handiwork really suited his intention.
 
"Where’s your room?" Shu Shu looked at the stairs. Although this house was different from the imperial palace in his imagination, but it was very, very beautiful. In addition, there was a large balcony upstairs . . . .
 
In the past, he didn't like the sunshine, and he didn’t like to bask in the sun either. But now that he had become a human, the situation was different. Nowadays, he felt that basking in the sun was very comfortable.
 
"We take an aircraft to go there." Edgar replied.
 
"Take an aircraft?" Shu Shu was a little perplexed. Could it be that they were not allowed to go upstairs?
 
"I live a little far from here," Edgar looked briefly at Shu Shu and recalled that Shu Shu was completely clueless about the Imperial Palace. So he explained again: "This whole island belongs to the Imperial family. Here is where my parents usually reside. I live in another place."

Shu Shu had been thinking why they didn’t enter through a gate like in the rich and powerful families story where one had to walk for a long, long time just to reach the doorway. The answer was . . . if the people of this family walked, they might not stop walking. Therefore, they just directly took an aircraft to enter the house door?
 
Following Edgar to the place where Edgar live, Shu Shu saw an equally beautiful house. After seeing his own bedroom on the second floor, which was not only incomparably huge but also had a bathroom, a study, and a cloakroom, he couldn’t help but secretly blow a raspberry.
 
At that time, he actually only gave the big snake such a small place as its home. He really felt embarrassed now . . . .
 
Shu Shu looked around his own room once. Then he got into the soft quilt directly and went to sleep. After one night of sleep, he got up early in the morning. As soon as he went out, he saw a robot coming over: "Mr. Shu Shu, Mr. Edgar is working out in the back. I have prepared breakfast for you . . ."

"What’s your name?" Shu Shu felt a bit strange seeing a metal-constructed humanoid robot. He remembered that he once heard his owner say that the robot in the Science and Technology Museum could talk to humans, so he immediately asked this robot.
 
"My name is KM006." The robot said.
 
"How old are you this year?" Shu Shu asked again.
 
"I have already left the factory for five years."
 
"What do you like?" Shu Shu continued to ask.
 
"I like to do housework."
 
"Do you want to eat? Can you fall in love? Do robots like you have to sleep?" Shu Shu kept asking.
 
Shu Shu had never been to the Science and Technology Museum in his lifetime, and he had never seen a robot that could have a conversation. At this moment, he was happily chatting with it. After practicing the spoken language with the robot for a while, he felt hungry.
 
He was hungry, but he couldn’t disregard Edgar and eat first . . . .
 
Shu Shu thought about it and said: "006, bring me to find Edgar!"
 
Robot 006 whose programming was almost in havoc from being questioned took Shu Shu along to the back of the house to find Edgar. In there was a huge room that looked like . . . a gym?
 
Shu Shu pushed the door and went in just to see Edgar, in his beast form, hitting a black wall with his tail. Then the wall displayed some numerical values, which should be the calculation of Edgar’s strength.
 
"Why did you come here?" Edgar quickly changed into his human form. He gave Shu Shu full access to everything, but he really didn’t expect that Shu Shu would suddenly come over.
 
"I’m coming to find you to eat!" Shu Shu said and then turned towards the wall again: "What’s that?"
 
"It’s used for testing the strength of a beastman." Edgar said and went to give the wall a punch. The number 1129 immediately appeared.
 
"Let me try it!" Shu Shu was extremely interested. He walked to the wall and gave it a punch. Then he waited for this high-tech product to come out with his score.
 
"21." The number appeared on the screen, and then, a voice rang out: "After hitting this product, there will be a certain opposite reaction force. This product is unsuitable for the use of sub-beastman. Please stop."

"How can this be!" Shu Shu was dissatisfied. His strength couldn’t even reach the last two digits of Edgar’s score?
 
"One more time!" Shu Shu put his spiritual power to use and punched the wall.
 
His hand hurt a bit because he punched the wall extremely hard. Luckily, the calculated number that came out this time was not bad. "119, a one-star beastman."

"You see, it also thinks I’m a beastman!" Shu Shu looked at Edgar happily.

Edgar nodded, saying nothing.
 
Then Shu Shu asked again, "What’s the highest score your hit can get?"
 
"I haven't tried it yet. If you want to get the highest score, you must definitely use the beast form." Edgar said.
 
"Then you quickly try it, ah!" Shu Shu exclaimed.
 
"How about we go eat something first?" Edgar said. He had been practicing control over his own power. As for hitting this wall with all his strength . . . he felt that he probably would break it.
 
"I carry some food on my body. Do you want to eat a little before hitting the wall?" Shu Shu took a lot of food out of his food pouches and spoke again, "I really, really want to see how strong you are. Edgar, I think maybe you’ll be the strongest beastman." After all, this was a mythical animal, ah!

The sub-beastman’s eyes was shining like the full moon . . . . Edgar changed into his beast form without the slightest hesitation and then resolutely whipped his tail towards the wall.
 
There was a spark on the wall, but no number came out. Then there was a voice saying: "This product is not applicable for beastman whose strength is on par with or more than that of an eight-star or a nine-star beastman. This product can be immediately replaced with a custom-made version."

". . ." It just broke down like this? No wonder Edgar didn't want to try it just now. Shu Shu felt a little embarrassed and guiltily stole a glance at Edgar. He took a big liberty to touch Edgar’s tail and cautiously asked, "Does it hurt? This thing leaks electricity. Can it electrocute you?"

"No, it doesn’t hurt. No, it can’t.” Edgar answered. How could this little bit of electricity do anything? He was a person who had been struck by lightning; he was absolutely fine with electricity. However, the little sub-beastman gentle caress and stroke actually made him feel tingly. The whole snake was soft.
 
Sub-beastmen were indeed very amazing. They practically could make the beastmen lose their fighting power instantly.
 
Edgar's scales were golden-bright and not bad to touch. Shu Shu imagined these scales as gold. Since he managed to not see Edgar’s full view, he was not afraid at all, reaching out and stroking Edgar a few times. He even stroke Edgar’s much softer belly.
 
Edgar felt more and more comfortable and openly exposed his vital parts in front of Shu Shu—Shu Shu's hand was really very soft; it would be great if it could touch him forever!
 
"Hey, what’s this?" Shu Shu suddenly discovered that the place he was touching split apart into a wide opening. He looked inside and there seemed to be . . . two meatballs? The meatballs even grew a little bigger as he gazed at them . . . .
 
Edgar suddenly came back to himself and realized that his cloaca had actually opened without him being aware of it. Although the organs inside had not extended out, but the little sub-beastman was looking straight into the cloaca!
 
"What are these two things? They look very cute." Shu Shu used his fingertips to fiddle with the meatballs, which grew a little bigger again, or a little longer to be precise. These small things were almost exposed.
 
Edgar quickly fled and changed into his human form at the fastest speed to put on some clothes.

39. Still Want to Duel?


When General Leva found out that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince had been kidnapped by the star pirates, his heart jumped into his throat. After realizing that the man opposite the commlink was actually Edgar, his heart finally settled back down into his chest. 
 
"Your Imperial Highness, why are you aboard the star pirates ship?" Leva asked. The spaceship of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group was very famous. It was said that the military had once besieged this star pirate group. Unfortunately, their target was too small and too skilled at hiding, while the universe was too big. In the end, they had never been able to capture the men of this star pirate group. Their pursuit was in vain even after spending so much military funds.
 
"There were star pirates who wanted to rob us on the road." Edgar said.
 
Leva was stunned but managed to react immediately. Because there were star pirates who wanted to rob His Imperial Highness’ group, so they simply robbed the star pirates in turn?
 
It was an action worthy of His Imperial Highness! Leva glanced at Edgar admiringly.
 
Leva was of the Imperial Fleet. Although the Empire had military ranks, but the military expenditures were paid by the Imperial family. Naturally, they were also loyal to the Imperial family.

"Edgar, what's going on outside? You . . ." Head peeking out from the doorway, Shu Shu looked at Edgar cautiously. Didn't his disciple say that he was a crown prince? Why would they get besieged by the military? Could it be that he was actually a former crown prince? Or did the Imperial family actually have a falling-out with the Empire? Or . . . did he have a brother who didn't want him to return and hoped to ambush him halfway?
 
"A sub-beastman?" Leva was surprised to see a sub-beastman come running to talk to Edgar. There was actually a sub-beastman in the spaceship, and he could even enter and exit the cockpit at will and call Edgar's name directly . . . .
 
Leva hadn’t had time to say anything yet, and the communication was already terminated by Edgar.
 
". . ." Leva looked for the record of the video call just now, took a screenshot of the scene where the sub-beastman appeared, and then sent it to His Imperial Majesty the Emperor.
 
The crown prince had graduated from the Imperial College for ten years already. Many noblemen would get betrothed when they were studying in the Imperial College and get married as soon as they graduated. The crown prince, however, had never tried to find any sub-beastman during these past years, and no sub-beastman had ever appeared at his side as well . . . . It was really not easy to arrive at the current situation, so of course, Leva had to report it immediately.
 
His Imperial Majesty and the Empress would surely be happy!
 
Edgar didn't know what Leva did. He turned his head and, seeing Shu Shu’s anxious look, said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, this fleet is coming to bring me back to the capital star."
 
Such a big fleet, and it was actually coming to bring Edgar back to the capital star! Shu Shu gave Edgar an admiring glance. His disciple was a Mr. Perfect, ah! Since there was someone who was able to support him, he didn’t need to work hard in the future, did he?
 
As a hamster spirit who would run to humans to become a house pet because living in the wild was too hard, Shu Shu completely lacked psychological pressure from asking for support or being kept.
 
He was really quite easy to support. He only had to eat enough, that’s it!
 
Looking at the sub-beastman’s eyes that were as bright as the full moon, Edgar suddenly felt a bit proud of himself.
 
Among the dazzling warships of the Imperial Fleet, there were three spaceships that seemed to be out of place among the surrounding warships. On top of that, there was even an extremely ugly cargo spaceship between the three spaceships . . . . This scene undoubtedly got the attention of every spaceship they met along the way.
 
When the fleet was approaching the capital star, after only one or two days of travel, the capital star had already received the news.
 
General Leva of the Imperial Fleet was coming back with His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince.
 
More than a week had passed since the Imperial family held a press conference, yet those matters had not completely died down.
 
However, what everyone was talking about now was not whether Edgar had really become a fallen beast and was being kept in the capital star. Rather . . . did the crown prince really consider everyone else beneath him as a rule? Had he really suppressed the new recruit who bullied his classmate?
 
As for the assaulted sub-beastman . . . . After learning that Edgar had not become a fallen beast, there were many sub-beastmen who thought that Edgar couldn’t have forced himself on the sub-beastman. Without much extra effort, the personal life of the sub-beastman who had stood up to accuse Edgar was turned upside down.
 
As it turned out . . . this sub-beastman had absolutely never been in contact with Edgar!
 
When the crown prince attended the Imperial College, this sub-beastman was still in elementary school. The crown prince had joined the military after graduation and seldom returned to the capital star. At which time did the crown prince force this sub-beastman to do such things?
 
Anyway, this matter had been clarified, but there was no evidence or proof that Edgar had not done the other two things, especially since Geo had made a solemn vow that he was going to find Edgar for a duel.
 
"From the start, His Imperial Highness has no need to suppress that Geo. His Imperial Highness’ innate skills are much better than Geo’s!"
 
"But if that's indeed the case, why on earth would Geo find His Imperial Highness for a duel? Making such a faux pas, won’t the Imperial family make life difficult for him?"
 
"I believe His Imperial Highness surely won’t do that kind of thing."
 
"Maybe His Imperial Highness himself doesn’t know what the people around him have done?"

. . . . . .

There were all sorts of discussions on the Internet. Before, everyone's attention was on the crown prince having become a fallen beast. Now, everyone's attention was on Geo wanting to find the crown prince for a duel.
 
A duel between two powerful beastmen would surely be phenomenal!
 
Therefore, after the news about His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s impending return to the capital star spread widely, everyone went to Geo’s social account to stand in a circle and watch, wanting to know what he would do.
 
When Geo saw so many people paying attention to himself, he was naturally excited. He immediately posted another message on his social account, saying that he would definitely welcome the spaceship and then confront Edgar and fight a duel.
 
After posting this message, Geo couldn’t help but feel a bit proud of himself.
 
What about the Imperial family? Now was the information society; the Imperial family had to face the fact that it was impossible to manipulate Geo’s situation from behind the scene. Conversely, the Imperial family might even protect him, so they wouldn’t be made a scapegoat if something bad happened to him at this moment!
 
As for the duel . . . .
 
Geo looked over all the things he had prepared these days and had a little bit more confidence.
 
He would definitely make people have a whole new level of respect for him.
 
After Geo confirmed that he was going to welcome the spaceship, people were excited.
 
The reporters went to the spaceship landing point early to stake out the place. Many people who wanted to be spectators also went there early. In addition to these people, there were also a large number of "star" chasing people who rushed there.
 
The majority of those who chased the "star" wanted to see His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince, while the minority was going to see Geo, and most of them were sub-beastmen.
 
Thus, on the day when Edgar’s spaceship reached the capital star, the spaceship landing point actually became the area with the highest density of sub-beastmen in the entire capital star.
 
Of course, it was impossible for the TV station to let slip such a "grand" occasion. They might as well broadcast it live.
 
"Now I’ll show everyone the image of the starry sky. The Imperial Fleet is only half an hour away from the capital star. Our satellite has taken pictures of their fleet. Everyone can see that among the many warships, there are three spaceships that stand out from the masses. And the crown prince is on one of those spaceships." The host said with a smile.
 
"One spaceship among those three is an outmoded cargo spaceship. It is said that this is the spaceship that His Imperial Highness originally took. Gass planet is located far away from here, and this cargo spaceship is the only spaceship they could come out with."
 
"His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince took such a spaceship to leave Gass planet. On the way, it caught the attention of the star pirates. They tried to rob His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince, but unexpectedly, His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince actually robbed their ships in turn . . . . This is the origin of the other two spaceships."
 
The host was a sub-beastman, and his voice was crisp and melodious. Many people who listened to his explanation couldn’t help but inwardly sigh—His Imperial Highness was really amazing! He was actually able to rob the star pirates in turn!
 
Geo also watched the live broadcast, but in fact, he secretly sneered. Edgar in turn robbed the star pirate ships? This was someone singing the praise of him, right? Most likely, it was the Imperial Fleet who fortuitously eliminated the two star pirate groups and let Edgar claim it as his feat.
 
Which star pirates were so easy to eliminate?
 
Thinking so, Geo stopped watching the live broadcast. Rather, he looked up to the sky and watched the three spaceships slowly descend.
 
The Imperial Fleet would not enter the capital star; they docked at a space station near the capital star. The three spaceships controlled by Edgar, however, would land in the capital star.
 
The staff had already cleared a large area for the spaceships to dock, and thus the spaceships landed very smoothly.
 
"Let's go." Edgar said to Shu Shu.
 
When the spaceship was descending, Shu Shu already leaned forward to the window to watch the views outside. He looked very excited right now. "Wow! Edgar, the capital star is really beautiful! It’s so lively here!"

Edgar nodded. At the same time, his brows wrinkled slightly.
 
As he approached the capital star, he was able to connect to the star network. Naturally, he got to know all kinds of news on the star network. For example, someone wanted to find him for a duel, and many people were coming to become spectators.
 
If Shu Shu was exposed now, it would be bad . . . . After some consideration, Edgar suddenly stopped walking and then had someone bring a hat and a pair of sunglasses for Shu Shu. He also made Shu Shu and the boatmen walked together.
 
Edgar was a little nervous after such a proposal. He was worried that Shu Shu would feel unhappy. However, Shu Shu clearly didn’t think too much about it and was quite excited instead. "I must hide my identity?" This was just like what those celebrities usually did when getting off the plane. He did not expect to also have such a day!

"That’s right. If they photograph you, your future life will be inconvenient." Edgar said. He liked Shu Shu, but Shu Shu was too young. Even if he wanted to marry Shu Shu, he had to wait for a few years until Shu Shu was a little older. In this case, he had better not let Shu Shu get exposed for the time being, so they could have a few more years of uncomplicated life.

At heart, Shu Shu didn't like to be noticed. Having heard what was said, he nodded, "I’ll definitely hide well."
 
The little sub-beastman was really obedient. Edgar smiled.
 
Truly an obedient little sub-beastman! The surrounding boatmen and soldiers all looked at Edgar with envy.
 
Only after everyone were well-prepared did they leave the spaceships. They also took those star pirates along without any trouble and were ready to hand them over to the policemen who had been waiting outside.
 
Because of this, they were delayed for quite a long while.
 
A small number of people who supported Geo immediately became complacent. Among them was a beastman who had never had a good opinion about the Imperial family. He even expressed loudly that Edgar was definitely afraid and could only dawdle to avoid coming.
 
"Don’t talk rubbish! His Imperial Highness isn’t afraid at all!"
 
"There must be something that delays His Imperial Highness."
 
Several sub-beastmen nearby heard this beastman's words, and one after another, they started to defend Edgar.
 
Being noticed by these sub-beastmen, the beastman was very happy. But when he heard that these sub-beastmen were all speaking for Edgar, his face turned black again. "You sub-beastmen only know how to worship money. Edgar is the crown prince, so you think everything he did is right, don’t you? Let me tell you, the rich don't have a single good quality. Maybe the reason why Edgar isn’t married yet is because he still wants to play with several sub-beastmen!"
 
"You . . . " One leading sub-beastman was furious, but he didn’t know how to refute it.
 
"Who are you anyway? What kind of sub-beastman you are, I know best. You think that if you can’t marry a rich man, you might as well look for those rich and powerful beastmen to play with while you’re still unmarried. After you’ve had enough fun, then you’ll look for a naive, well-behaved man to marry, right?" The beastman regarded the sub-beastman with contempt but was unable to control his eyes from running over the sub-beastman’s body back and forth. "You think they’ll really marry you? They’re definitely just playing with you!"
 
The sub-beastman’s face was totally black. He just liked to see a handsome guy, that’s all. This man was talking nonsense!
 
The sub-beastman wanted to curse this man, but unfortunately, he couldn’t do that. Right at this moment, a beastman forced his way through and then slapped the shoulder of the carelessly-speaking beastman. At once, the slapped beastman fell on his butt to the ground.

"Who have sneak attacked me?" The beastman yelled while holding his aching shoulder.
 
"Me." A voice rang out above the beastman’s head. The beastman looked up and found that he was talking to a handsome beastman with a smile on the corner of his mouth dressed in a police uniform.
 
"As a policeman, you actually attacked a civilian! I’m going to file a complaint against you!" Shaking, the beastman started to get up from the ground.
 
"Where did he attack you? You obviously slipped and fell on your own!" A sub-beastman on the side unexpectedly spoke while rolling his eyes.
 
"That’s right! You obviously slipped and fell on your own!" Another sub-beastman also spoke.
 
"You actually want to frame a policeman! We’ll report you too! You attempted to harass us!"
 
One after another, several sub-beastmen spoke. Then they worshipfully gazed at the beastman wearing a police uniform.
 
The beaten beastman was furious and still wanted to say something. As a result, he was just going to open his mouth, and his wrist was already grabbed by the beastman wearing a police uniform.

This policeman had an enormous strength, gripping the beastman arm like he was going to break it. For a moment, the beastman was actually unable to do anything besides screaming in pain.

The policeman pulled the beastman’s arm, dragged him out of the crowd, and then threw him out. After he was done, he smiled and said: "I really wish that there’re more beastmen like you, so there’ll be more sub-beastmen who like my kind of beastman."
 
Done speaking, he returned to the crowd and showed an elegant smile to the several sub-beastmen who had supported him before. "Hello, all! My name is Calvin."

"Hello, Mr. Calvin!" These few sub-beastmen were not in a hurry to go and see Edgar's spaceship. One by one, they started to chat with this very elegant beastman. Calvin smiled and teased these few sub-beastmen until they openly laughed out loud.
 
It was at this time that Edgar came down from the spaceship.
 
Edgar walked in the front. After climbing down the spaceship, he took a quick look at the man behind him and then walked outside.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding staff promptly stepped forward to help him make his way through—there were really too many people outside, and they all surged toward Edgar. If you walked straight, you definitely wouldn’t be able to go out.
 
"Your Imperial Highness! Your Imperial Highness!"

"His Imperial Highness is coming out!"
 
"So handsome!"
 
. . . . . .

After catching sight of Edgar, a good deal of people started to scream. Edgar was young, handsome, well-off, and had a military rank. When someone did a survey of the most popular beastman in the Beastman Empire a year ago, no one was in the least surprised when Edgar ended up at the top of the list.
 
In the Beastman Empire, the most famous celebrities did not receive as much attention as Edgar.
 
There were too many screaming people outside. Edgar had a mind to leave from the other passage, but he restrained himself regardless. The situation today was different. He definitely had to go out from here.

He had raised a ruckus, so now he had to show his face and let others know that he was fine. Moreover, he heard that someone wanted to duel with him.
 
Edgar walked forward. In fact, he should say something at this time, but he had never been good at it, so he simply didn’t say anything.
 
"Your Imperial Highness!"
 
"Don't squeeze me!"
 
"Ouch!"
 
"His Imperial Highness is coming, ah!"
 
. . . . . .

The situation was a little bad since there were too many people, and some people started to push and shove forward. Fortunately, the staff had long anticipated the current situation and already taken some precautions, so there was no major problem in the end.
 
But, unexpectedly, an accident suddenly happened at this moment.
 
Out of the blue, a beastman in the crowd changed from human form to beast form!
 
There was a very big discrepancy between the size of a beastman's human form and the size of his beast form. Originally, people were already crowded together. At this time, when the beastman suddenly changed from human form to beast form, people crowded around him naturally almost collapsed.
 
Around the beastman whose body suddenly transformed, frightened screams started to reverberate. After a beastman was crushed, he actually changed into his beast form too!
 
Not only that, but in other areas, some beastmen also changed into their beast form. Very soon, the situation became chaotic.
 
If the people here were all beastmen, the situation would not become chaotic, and they would not have an accident. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the people here were sub-beastmen. If one was not careful, one might be hurt by the beastmen.
 
Seeing this scene, Edgar narrowed his eyes slightly.
 
Newly born beastmen couldn’t control their transformation between human form and beast form. They would have the ability to perfectly control it after they were five or six years old. But if they were frightened, they might suddenly change from human form to beast form.
 
However . . . adult beastmen were perfectly able to control themselves. Not to mention just getting squeezed a little, even if they were injured, they would not suddenly change into their beast form.
 
Was this . . . someone looking for trouble?
 
Several beastmen abruptly changed into their beast form in succession, and the crowd instantly became chaotic. Generally, in this situation, someone should change into his beast form to suppress and evacuate the beasts. But in the current situation, if someone changed into his beast form, it would probably make the situation more chaotic.
 
Edgar suddenly thought of a similar ability that he had recently learned while on the spaceship—level suppression.

There were levels between beastmen. High-level beastmen could often suppress low-level beastmen. In the past, when Edgar fought with people, he could exploit it to suppress his opponents at certain times.
 
However, his level suppression at that time was actually very weak. He basically could only unleash it on one person. After he began to cultivate, the situation changed.
 
When he hadn’t awakened the bloodline and was still a snake, he ran into Jeress and his men and could already suppress a few men in their party. Later . . . .
 
He tried it when fighting with those star pirates. By using his current ability, he could completely make those star pirates thoroughly suppressed. . . . Of course, so as to be able to fight properly at that time, he did not use it often and always held back some when using it.
 
Now, if he completely unleashed it . . . . Edgar frowned slightly; he had no assurance after all.
 
Edgar was just thinking about whether or not to use the level suppression when he saw that the crowd was pressing in and actually began to push their way toward those people behind him.
 
Shu Shu was there! Seeing this scene, Edgar no longer had time to think about it. His circulating spiritual power began to unleash the pressure on his body.
 
He only did it unconsciously before, but it could already make Jeress and the other men can't help but feel afraid. Now that he was going all out . . . .
 
The people in the surrounding chaos all felt the pressure and finally felt afraid.
 
People with low strength immediately became stiff all over and didn’t dare to move. As for people with high strength, fear poured out from the bottom of their hearts and their movements became slow.
 
Calvin, who had been protecting the sub-beastmen at his side, was not brought down. When he felt this pressure, he could not help but suck in a deep breath. "This guy is becoming stronger, ah . . . . His luck is really good!"
 
He still had time to comment, but the sub-beastmen around him had started to shiver with fear.
 
After Edgar unleashed the pressure, everyone calmed down. The beastmen who changed into their beast form were Edgar's main target. Now, they couldn’t stir up trouble anymore and could only lie prone on the ground, shivering with fear.
 
The whole world suddenly quieted down, and only some live streaming webcams that were still flying around Edgar made a buzzing sound. They took pictures of Edgar and the scared stiff people around him.

The sub-beastman host who was broadcasting live on the Internet paused for a moment and then began to laugh: "The situation has been controlled. It should be His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince utilizing his own level to carry out a suppression. I didn’t expect that the level suppression can actually cause such a scene, and I also don’t know what level His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s strength has reached now. Has he already broken through level eight and reached level nine?"
 
"I heard through a grapevine that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince has awakened the bloodline on Gass planet."
 
"The Beastman Empire is about to usher in another strong beastman."   

The host laughed while reporting the news, and below, countless comments were already posted.
 
"His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince has actually awakened the bloodline! He’s really amazing!"
 
"Do you notice that Geo isn’t among the crowd? He’s suppressed!"

"If he’s so easily suppressed like this, what ability does he have that can make the crown prince envy him?"
 
"Oh my god, His Imperial Highness is actually so powerful!"
 
. . . . . .

Countless people on the Internet were praising Edgar, but at this moment, Edgar was in fact turning his head to take a look at Shu Shu who was nearby. He used a large-scale level suppression, wouldn’t Shu Shu feel uncomfortable?
 
Edgar was a little worried, but he did not expect that when he looked over, Shu Shu was looking straight to this side and also waved his hand at Edgar, seemingly unaffected at all. Edgar immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
 
Shu Shu was actually a little affected at the beginning. It was indeed a mythical animal’s pressure, ah! He was just a little hamster, how could he stand it?
 
Anyway, he couldn't stand it, but the red bead in his body clearly didn't take this pressure seriously. From the red bead, a warm current rushed forth. After it circulated through his whole body one time, he couldn’t feel the pressure anymore.
 
His red bead was really the best, and Edgar was also very handsome, ah! Behind the sunglasses, Shu Shu was staring at Edgar with sparkling eyes, and he couldn’t help but bounce up and down, hoping to see Edgar through the surrounding wall of people.
 
Shu Shu was surrounded by the boatmen and the soldiers. The people outside could not see him, but the people at his side all saw his action, and for a moment, they prostrated themselves in admiration.
 
This sub-beastman was indeed very amazing. He actually managed to be completely unaffected! No wonder His Imperial Highness liked him!
 
People already calmed down and obviously wouldn’t riot anymore, so Edgar withdrew the pressure.
 
After Edgar showed up, Geo wanted to go find Edgar. As a result, he was unable to squeeze through so many people, and later . . . . He was a little excited when he realized that there was a riot. He looked forward to Edgar being unable to resolve this situation and getting implicated in it.

In the end . . . Edgar only depended on the level suppression and actually made the crowd calm down? And, under Edgar's level suppression, he even had a feeling that he completely lacked capability to resist.
 
Edgar was actually this powerful?!
 
Geo was afraid. After the situation was controlled, he was no longer willing to find Edgar.
 
Unfortunately, Edgar thought of him at this moment: "I remember that someone wants to find me for a duel. Where’s this person?"

The people at Geo’s side turned towards Geo in unison. Someone even gave Geo a push, shoving Geo out of the crowd.
 
Like that, Geo appeared in front of everyone.
 
"You’re the one who said that I was jealous of you and framed you?" This time, Edgar’s level suppression was aimed at Geo alone.

Geo's legs were soft, and his whole person became weak. He sat on the ground and couldn't stop trembling; teeth chattering, he was practically acting like a buffoon. He was really scared this time—

Edgar was so powerful; was he going to kill him? He didn’t want to die!
 
"The pressure of a mythical animal, an average person won’t be able to stand it . . ." Shu Shu bounced up and down again. He was extremely proud after seeing the scene over there—Edgar was indeed his disciple!
 
"Still want to duel?" Edgar asked Geo. He had been thinking of giving this man a lesson about profiting from someone’s misfortune if they really had a duel, but now . . . . Was it still necessary?
 
"No, no!" Geo hurriedly replied. Right now, he didn't dare to think about losing face. He just wanted to hurry up and escape from here.
 
So scary! Edgar was really so scary!
 
At that time, how could he feel like framing this person?

38. Watching a Movie Together
 

After switching spaceship from a cargo spaceship to a spaceship with windows, Shu Shu was very happy. In the end . . . their new spaceship suddenly rocked. It was attacked?!
 
At the split second when the spaceship rocked, Shu Shu’s face was all white. He wished there was a hole nearby so he could go in and hide himself . . . . Fortunately, the shaking only lasted for a little while. Not long after, someone came running to tell him that they had captured a better spaceship, and, once it was washed clean, he could go there to play.
 
It turned out that the shaking just now was really a clash with another spaceship! Edgar . . . apparently had grabbed other people’s spaceship again.
 
As a timid mouse spirit, Shu Shu somewhat couldn’t stop his legs from trembling uncontrollably . . . .
 
No, he could not be like this! Jones was a sub-beastman, and he was not afraid at all. Shu Shu was a beastman, so how could he be afraid?
 
Shu Shu held himself together, and soon after, he was brought to a bigger spaceship.
 
There was nothing but an enormous warehouse in the cargo spaceship. Kamille’s spaceship was mostly empty space as well, and there weren’t many things in it. However, there were many novelties in the newly captured spaceship.
 
A dedicated recreation room, a dedicated audio-visual room, and also a bar and a swimming pool, many of which were unimaginable to Shu Shu before!
 
Shu Shu walked a circuit of the spaceship and was soon stupefied: "There’re so many things here!"

"Not really. I’ll take you to see a better one later." Edgar said. His parents had a private spaceship, and it offered many more fun things to do on board. It even had a dedicated performance team . . . . He would definitely bring Shu Shu to play there later.
 
Didn’t a good spaceship like this count for anything? Shu Shu suddenly had a bit of hatred for the rich . . . .
 
"I can already speak many words and understand most of the language​​. How about we go watch some movies?" Shu Shu said, pointing at the audio-visual room. There were many things that he hadn’t learned to do, but so far, watching movies was no problem.
 
The TV he had watched before was about the same to that on Earth. At most, the difference was in the definition of the screen material . . . . Here, the TV for children to watch was not allowed to use too many high-tech products.
 
But the audio-visual room for adults to watch movies was different. This kind of audio-visual room was said to be stereo surround and 3D4D on-demand, and people could directly enter the movie scene when watching the movie.
 
At that time, they could either choose to be a spectator inside the movie, sitting quietly around the actors and watching them act each and every scene, or they could experience all the excitements together with the actors themselves by following the actors’ movements and actions.
 
The former was generally applicable to literary and art films, and the latter was generally applicable to all kinds of adventure or action movies. Additionally, if there was any problem with the body, the latter should not be chosen . . . . After all, not everyone could bear following the protagonist go up the mountain or out to the sea and fight various kinds of monsters.   

As it happened . . . almost all the movies on this spaceship were the latter type.
 
Edgar rummaged through the microchips in front of him and discovered that all of them were very stimulating movies. He couldn’t help but frown slightly.
 
The little sub-beastman was not very courageous. Previously, when the spaceship rocked, he was very scared. Making him experience falling at a great speed and so on, wasn’t it the same as tormenting him? These were simply not movies that the sub-beastman could watch!
 
In a tangle, Edgar suddenly came upon a few . . . romance movies?

‘Warm Love’, ‘Snuggling in the Spring Breeze’, ‘My Beast Boyfriend’ . . . . Edgar's past experience made him particularly dislike watching romance movies, but the sub-beastman should probably like them. Thinking about it, Edgar selected ‘Snuggling in the Spring Breeze’.

He didn't know anything about this movie, but, looking at the title, he supposed it was a romance movie about childhood sweethearts? In any case, all kinds of plot twists that he had seen in ‘The Spicy Crown Princess’ most likely wouldn’t appear in this movie.
 
Having put the microchip into the media player to read, Edgar finally took a seat and was ready to watch the movie together with Shu Shu.
 
"Don’t we need to wear glasses or helmet?" Shu Shu asked curiously.
 
"You don’t need them for this kind of home audio-visual room, but if you go to a large cinema to watch a movie, you must wear them." Edgar explained as the movie began to play.
 
These days, actors weren’t necessary to shoot a movie since you could just use a bunch of handsome virtual characters, and the scenery in the movie was often very good already. Now, large-scale movies could be filmed on-site, and small-cost movies could spend a small amount of money to purchase synthesized scenic resources.
 
The scenery in this movie was especially beautiful. In view was a pool, and there were various trees full of blooming flowers on the side of the pool. The petals fell in a flutter under the caress of the wind. They fell to the pool and on the sub-beastman in the pool who was seriously more beautiful than anyone could imagine.
 
Shu Shu felt as if he was sitting on the edge of the pool, and the floating petals were falling on him. He couldn't help but sigh: "So pretty!" The place was practically a paradise on earth, and furthermore, the movie was an immersive one, which was really top of the line! He no longer needed to envy the people on Earth who were able to watch 3D movies!

Shu Shu was there to see the scenery, but Edgar was a little uneasy . . . . What’s going on? How could there be a bathing sub-beastman in the movie?!
 
Sub-beastmen did not like their own beastmen watch other sub-beastmen. In order to show that he was not interested in other sub-beastmen, Edgar turned his head and stared at Shu Shu fixedly, resolutely not watching the bathing sub-beastman in the movie—in this kind of home theater, people who were watching a movie could also communicate with each other.
 
"You’re staring at me. What do you see?" Shu Shu did not understand.
 
"That he isn’t as good-looking as you." Edgar stated seriously.
 
"Really? Hahaha!" Shu Shu stuck his chest out proudly and continued to watch the movie.
 
The bathing sub-beastman stood up to leave the pool, revealing a beautiful V-line.
 
This figure was really good! Shu Shu’s own belly was flabby *huff*. Although his waist was not thick, but it was definitely not alluring like this! Shu Shu lamented and did not press Edgar to watch the movie anymore . . . . How bad would it be if his disciple found out that other person’s figure was better than him?

Speaking of figure, his disciple seemed to have seen his several times?
 
Shu Shu continued to watch the next scene. Right at this moment, he saw a wolf stepping out from behind the trees beside the pool.
 
The plot was about to begin? Was this wolf going to eat that sub-beastman? Would there be a beautiful plot of the hero coming to the rescue next? Shu Shu's eyes were shining, and he was watching happily—anyway, it’s all fictitious, wasn’t it?
 
Edgar could never get tired of seeing the little sub-beastman’s happy appearance. As for the movie . . . and with the sound of a splash to boot, he had better not watch for the sake of propriety.
 
"Wow . . ." Shu Shu gasped in surprise—the wolf became a beastman! Oh, a naked beastman! This man's figure was better than the sub-beastman’s. Shu Shu especially wanted to touch those blocks of abs. As for the things below the abs . . . . Humph! He hates men whose assets were more robust than him!
 
"Edgar, you continue to look at me, OK? Don't watch the movie." Shu Shu said to his disciple. This guy’s figure was better! Nevertheless, he would not let his disciple watch.
 
Was the little sub-beastman feeling jealous? Edgar was happy.
 
Right now, the wolf beastman in the movie already jumped into the pool and then embraced the sub-beastman in it. They hugged and kissed, and after that, the beastman carried the sub-beastman to the  poolside . . . .
 
This place deserved to be called the interstellar space; it was so open. This kind of movie was not banned at all, and you could even use a top-grade cinema like this to watch such an aesthetically shot movie . . . . Shu Shu’s admiration could not go any further.
 
On Earth, when his owners wanted to watch such movies, they had to "breach the Great Firewall of China" to go outside!
 
Shu Shu watched more seriously and planned to study how the beastman and the sub-beastman would do the deed. At this moment, Edgar finally felt that something was wrong.
 
Why could he hear moans and groans?
 
Quickly turning his head to look, Edgar happened to see the movie go straight to the point . . . . 

It’s actually this kind of movie! And the little sub-beastman was actually watching it! Edgar felt that there was not enough time to turn off the movie. Feeling anxious, he promptly turned into his beast form and used his tail to smash the home theater.
 
Was there any home theater that could withstand a smash from a nine-star beastman? All the images instantly disappeared, and a wrecked home theater appeared before Shu Shu.
 
"What are you doing?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar angrily. He was just watching a critical moment!
 
"You can't watch this." Edgar said.
 
“Why?” Shu Shu frowned. “Is this not a normal thing? Is there anything unsightly about it?” He had seen so many animal matings, and he had also seen snake with snake many times . . . . When two snakes were entangled together, they did not look so horrible.
 
"You’re still young, so you can't watch." Edgar’s face was blank, but in reality, his face was hot, and smoke almost came out of the top of his head.
 
The little sub-beastman had actually seen this kind of movie!
 
Edgar looked a little fierce. Although Shu Shu was still not convinced, but he also didn’t dare to oppose Edgar. At the same time, he secretly sighed—his disciple was too pure and innocent, which was not beneficial for seeking a marriage partner!
 
"I’ll take you to eat at the dining room. There’s a chef on this spaceship, and he can make a lot of things." Edgar tried to divert Shu Shu’s attention.
 
Shu Shu immediately forgot his previous unhappiness. He was not that fond of intimate moment between two men anyway. By comparison, eating was certainly more important!
 
Edgar brought Shu Shu to the dining room and let Jones accompany Shu Shu for lunch, but he himself went to the warehouse on the lower level of the spaceship.
 
Edgar now had three spaceships in his hands, but he didn’t dare to lock those star pirates in the other spaceships. Worried that they would employ any methods to grab the spaceship to escape, he ultimately locked all the star pirates in the warehouse on the lower level of this spaceship.
 
The weapons on the star pirates’s bodies all had been taken away, and they could only wear the thin clothes they were allocated to. Although these people were estimated to still hiding some things on their body, but it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven if they wanted to successfully escape under the soldiers’ close watch.
 
Edgar went downstairs and saw Jeress and his men in the doorway of the warehouse. They were guarding the door while simultaneously watching the situation inside the warehouse via security cameras. They could see very clearly what those people were doing inside.
 
"Your Imperial Highness!" Seeing Edgar coming, they conducted themselves with propriety.
 
"You’ve worked hard." Edgar nodded toward them and then pushed the door and went in.
 
Those star pirates caught by Edgar were very depressed and also very angry. It had not occurred to them how they suddenly went down the rank and became prisoners.
 
The men of Kamille’s star pirate group did not feel too bad. The strength of their star pirate group itself was very poor. Although they were resentful after getting caught, but seeing that the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group actually got caught as well, they felt that getting caught was nothing. Some of the men of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group, however, were still unable to accept the current situation.
 
"We haven’t even fought with those people, and we already lost. I’ve never run into such an unlucky thing in my lifetime!"
 
"How the hell did that Edgar get into the cockpit?"
 
"We spent a lot of money to buy the defense system last time. It shouldn’t be a fake, right? Or else how did that Edgar burst in so easily?”

. . . . . . 

The men of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group discussed the matter spiritedly. If it were not for the formidable strength of their star pirate group leader and his significant accumulated power, they probably wouldn’t be able to stop themselves from questioning their leader—how did their leader get caught so easily like that and surrender, too?
 
Generally speaking, how would they become captives if they waged a big war?
 
These men did not open their mouths and ask questions, but they were all people who couldn't conceal their emotions. The leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group was a smart person; how could he not see it?
 
After guessing the thoughts of his subordinates, his face was dark.
 
Of course he did not want to get caught. He believed that the defensive measures had been doing very well, and that his own strength was quite formidable, but that Edgar . . . . That guy had actually arrived at his side silently and then eliminated them all in one fell swoop with the momentum of his sudden attack!
 
He hadn't fainted then and still thought that even if he was caught, it would not be easy for this man if he wanted to make them, a group of star pirates, obey his orders. It was not that easy to control their spaceship after all. Alas, this man had easily controlled their spaceship.
 
Up until now, he had never forgotten the words the man had said with no expression at that time—"The technology that you star pirates consider as very amazing most likely is just a basic technical skill that everyone in the army must understand."—, which had made him wish he could cut this man into ten thousand pieces.

Damned basic technical skill!
 
The defense system he had bought at a high price had no effect in the least. He reckoned that the superb technology he possessed was actually just a basic technical skill in the other party’s eyes!
 
This leader of the star pirate group hated Edgar to death now.
 
The other star pirates were about the same as him. They basically had criminal records on them. After getting arrested, they definitely wouldn’t be able to become the citizens of the Beastman Empire. It was more likely that they would be sent to those mineral planets to serve in the army, and then they would stay there for a lifetime . . . .   

Presently, the Beastman Empire still retained the death penalty, but there were not many people who would be sentenced to death. In general, the step taken to punish the beastmen who committed a crime was putting them in a special facility or sending them to the mineral star to dig a mine. As for the sub-beastmen, they would be imprisoned.
 
Although there was a good deal of inconvenience in being star pirates, but it was still better than being sent to the mineral star to dig a mine. These men naturally were filled with complaints about Edgar.
 
Edgar came right at this moment.
 
"Your Imperial Highness the Crown Prince?" These men were regarding Edgar with a weird look. They didn’t understand why Edgar would come alone.
 
Edgar looked at these men with a wooden expression: "Come and fight me?"

These guys actually put that kind of movie in the audio-visual room, making the little sub-beastman see another beastman’s body . . . . He simply couldn’t tolerate it!

Furthermore . . . as long as he thought of the scene he had seen and the moans he had heard just now, he would try to associate them with the little sub-beastman. Edgar already felt his body flaming uncontrollably . . . . He’s now eager to give vent to his excessively vigorous energy.
 
In addition to this, he was still a little unpracticed in using his current power. This time, practicing with these men before his eyes was advantageous to him . . . .
 
Fighting? The star pirates’ eyes shone brightly when looking at Edgar. This man had robbed them instead of them robbing him, so they all certainly wanted to beat him up!
 
"How are we going to fight?" The leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group asked.
 
"All of you together." Edgar said. The strongest of these star pirates was only the leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group, a mere seven-star beastman, and he clearly didn’t make his fellow star pirates feel reassured.

Moreover, even if these men were together, only some of them could squeeze into Edgar’s side. Therefore, he actually wasn’t worried at all that he would see hundreds of fists coming to attack him together.
 
"Your Imperial Highness the Crown Prince, having too much self-confidence isn’t a good thing!" The leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group sneered and then, without any warning, turned into his beast form and charged at Edgar. The reason why Edgar had been able to catch him before was most likely because he hadn't had time to turn into his beast form. So, this time, he had to gain the initiative by striking first!

The leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group was the first. Other star pirates also turned into their beast forms and rushed toward Edgar one after another. Their roots were basically a bunch of desperate criminals. Now that they had practically been caught, they might as well beat up His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince to vent their anger!

These men used their beast forms to attack, but Edgar did not turn into his beast form and welcomed them with his human body instead.
 
After becoming a beastman again, this was the first time he indulged in a fight.
 
Edgar, who had been struck by lightning thirty-six times, had an incomparably hard body, and the spiritual power inside his body made him nearly indefatigable . . . . Although he was besieged by many men, but he did not drop into a disadvantageous position.
 
The beast form of the leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group was an elephant with long and sharp tusks. However, not to mention that his tusks couldn’t pierce Edgar's body at all, his tusks were even grabbed and used by Edgar to throw him aside!

He who was a seven-star beastman was like this, there was no further need to speak about the others . . . . These star pirates’ bellies were full of anger. They opened their mouths wide to bite Edgar, but in the end, they were all beaten up!
 
"His Imperial Highness . . . is so powerful . . ." Jeress and his men had been watching through the security cameras, and they were quickly struck dumb seeing this scene.
 
His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince did not turn into his beast form, but he was able to defeat so many people. He was really too powerful!
 
"His Imperial Highness will be my idol forever!" Jeca stated excitedly.
 
Jeress . . . Jeress touched his own neck and once again rejoiced that His Imperial Highness did not hold a grudge and beat him up.
 
"Right, why would His Imperial Highness suddenly come to fight with these star pirates?" Someone asked in confusion.
 
"I heard that His Imperial Highness had a fit of rage in the audio-visual room and wrecked the room. Is it related to that?" Someone asked again.
 
These soldiers could use the commlink to communicate with each other aboard the same spaceship, so Jeress asked his pals who were patrolling the upper level and quickly got the answer.
 
"After His Imperial Highness smashed the audio-visual room, someone went there to see and discovered that the media player was playing ‘Snuggling in the Spring Breeze’ . . . ."
 
"Spring Breeze? Isn’t that a live-action movie widely known for its esthetics?"
 
"The sub-beastman actor in Spring Breeze is my most favorite actor."
 
"There’re not many live-action movies in the entire interstellar space, and this one is the best!"
 
. . . . . .

"This movie is very famous. Could it be that His Imperial Highness didn't know and then brought the sub-beastman to watch it?" Someone suddenly said.
 
Silence on the spot.
 
The man who had spoken covered his mouth hurriedly. It was okay for them to secretly watched this kind of movie on their own. But if they were seen watching other sub-beastmen by their sub-beastmen, their sub-beastman would definitely get angry!
 
Besides, looking at His Imperial Highness and the sub-beastman’s demeanors, His Imperial Highness clearly hadn’t yet succeeded. Bringing the sub-beastman to watch such a movie at this time . . . . The sub-beastman would certainly get angry, ah!
 
It seemed that His Imperial Highness had failed in romancing the sub-beastman, so he came here to vent his feelings . . . . Anyway, His Imperial Highness was truly amazing, ah! What they were watching was  obviously a surveillance video, but it was comparable with a blockbuster movie!

"When His Imperial Highness is done fighting, we’ll copy the surveillance video, and everyone must study it properly." Jeress said and got everyone’s approval.

Edgar spent three or four hours knocking down five or six hundred star pirates.

No, he actually didn’t knock down some of them at all, such as Kamille. This man, who was taken prisoner only several days after he had become the leader of the star pirate group, did not wait for Edgar to approach and took the initiative to kneel down instead. Edgar had no interest to haul up and give the frightened man a beating, so he let him off.

After the big fight was over, Edgar felt refreshed, and his understanding of spiritual power was more thorough. He circulated his spiritual power to heal some of the scratches on his body and went out with the same wooden expression as he’d had when coming in.
 
It’s almost time for dinner, and he had to accompany Shu Shu to eat.
 
Behind Edgar, the leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group could not help but curse loudly. Next to him, a group of Blazing Flame star pirates spoke while cradling their utterly bruised faces: "Boss, I finally understand why this Edgar could capture all of you so easily."

The leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group changed from an elephant to a human. Then, with a black face, he sat in the corner and did not move.
 
Disgrace! This was absolutely a disgrace! So many people fighting against one person, and they actually couldn’t defeat him!
 
At the same time, Edgar had found Shu Shu. He and Shu Shu had a meal together and ate almost ten pounds of food without much extra effort.
 
Edgar ate so much meat in one meal; the amount even surpassed the weight of Shu Shu’s whole body . . . . He was actually only enough for Edgar to eat one meal . . . . Having such thoughts, Shu Shu suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why would he think such an awful thing?!

The three spaceships travelled smoothly toward the capital star. Because Edgar slightly deviated from the spaceship route, they basically didn’t encounter any other spaceships along the way. Even if they occasionally came across one, it bypassed them distantly.

The next day, Edgar once again sought the star pirates who stayed in the warehouse and had another big fight with them as an exercise.
 
This time, more star pirates took the initiative to kneel down because they didn't want to get beaten up by him.
 
On the third day, he went there again.
 
When Edgar finally left, these star pirates were all dazed. "I suddenly hope that they can send me to the mineral star earlier . . ."

"If we go to the mineral star, we probably won’t get thrashed again by these people, right?" Another man said.
 
They sighed heavily, very much depressed. However, if Edgar came back again later, they believed they would keep attacking him. Up until now, this guy had never let slip his expressionless face or his beast form, which truly angered them to the max!
 
While Edgar became more and more familiar with his current body and the spiritual power within it, General Leva, who was dispatched by the emperor to pick up Edgar, was practically being worried to death.
 
After he got his order, he rushed to Gass planet, travelling day and night. In the end, he actually was informed that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince had already left in a cargo spaceship.

He could only return by the wayside while looking for the cargo spaceship that the crown prince took.
 
He did not go looking for it with great fanfare. Rather, he sent out plenty of scout ships. Just now, one of the returning scout ships passed on some news, saying that they had found the spaceship that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince took.
 
This was news worthy of celebration, but if the cargo spaceship was actually sandwiched between two star pirate ships—one in the front and one in the rear—then it was a different situation!

"You said the spaceship that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince took has been captured by the star pirate ships?" General Leva’s face was dark.
 
"That should be right!" The man aboard the scout ship said. "One of the star pirate ships belongs to the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group. The leader of that star pirate group is a seven-star beastman. In addition, there are many strong men under his command. And the most important point is that their star pirate ship is equipped with many powerful weapons. The cargo spaceship is definitely unable to resist."

"Quick! Go forward at full speed! Let's save His Imperial Highness!" Leva immediately commanded. Although His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince was very strong, but the soldiers he brought from Gass planet were weak, and there were fewer weapons on their cargo spaceship . . . .
 
He had to rescue and bring back His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince as quickly as possible.
 
Hence, when Edgar was planning to have a bath and a good rest after beating up those star pirates yet again, he was informed by his subordinate officers that their three spaceships were surrounded by numerous warships.
 
"Your Imperial Highness, the warship is contacting us. Do you want to put it through?" Someone in the cockpit asked.
 
"Put it through." Edgar said. Looking at the spaceship’s serial number, it should be General Leva?

The video call was quickly put through; accordingly, the image of General Leva appeared in front of Edgar.
 
"Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group! You all . . . Your Imperial Highness?" Leva at last saw Edgar.
 
"General Leva." Edgar nodded toward the other party.



TL’s note:
1. Remember that there’s no female in this story, so when I write empress/princess, it means the male wife of the emperor/prince. ‘The Spicy Crown Princess’ if literally translated is ‘The Crown Prince’s Hot and Numbing Imperial Concubine’.
2. I don’t know why the author didn’t give the leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group a name. I’m kinda fed up with typing “the leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group” repeatedly.
