63. A Tumor vs. A Child


Pregnant? Impossible! Shu Shu was a beastman; how could he become pregnant? Moreover, he and Shu Shu only got married less than two months ago; it’s impossible to get pregnant and for the child to grow so fast! Edgar could not help but think that the doctor was talking nonsense. "You check it more clearly!"
 
"Yeah, I obviously only have a tumor, and I’m going to have an operation to remove it tomorrow!" Shu Shu also said. Even if the sub-beastmen in this world had internal reproductive organs and could get pregnant, but he was not a sub-beastman, ah. He absolutely didn’t have those organ; so how could he get pregnant?
 
The questioned doctor stared at the examination device on his hand, somewhat bewildered—could it be that he was really mistaken?
 
After giving it some thought, the doctor asked, "Your Imperial Highness the Crown Prince, will you let me try examine the crown princess once again?"
 
"Quickly do it!" Edgar, seeing Shu Shu’s deathly white complexion, stated without the slightest hesitation.
 
The doctor started to give Shu Shu another examination right away and even pressed Shu Shu’s abdomen with his hand.
 
It was at this time everyone finally realized that Shu Shu’s belly was a little big . . . . Shu Shu wore loose clothes and was standing before, so everyone didn’t see it, but now that Shu Shu was half-carried in the crown prince’s arms for the examination, his belly became conspicuous . . . . The crown princess’ belly looked exactly the same as a pregnant sub-beastman’s.
 
Donald had collapsed, but the live broadcast on the star network still continued and was still the same 360-degree, omni-directional, and three-dimensional live broadcast as before. Who made the crown prince unable to manage this thing? Other people did not dare to make decisions without permission.
 
The bad guy had been beaten, and the crown prince had already rescued the crown princess. Now that the situation was no longer critical, everyone had time to discuss it. "What the hell is this all about? The Imperial family intends to announce the news of the crown princess’ pregnancy to clarify the previous rumor of the crown prince losing his beast bead?"

"Wanting to clarify is also not like this, ah. If they really want to clarify, why on earth do they still insist on saying that the crown princess has a tumor when the doctor has said that it’s pregnancy?"
 
"With how the crown princess looks, it seems that he’s really pregnant."
 
"It’s totally impossible for His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince and the crown princess to not even know if it’s pregnancy, right? So, it should be really a tumor."
 
"I also think it should be really a tumor . . . . The crown princess won’t have a problem, will he?"
 
. . . . . .

Before, Donald said that the crown prince had no beast bead. If the crown prince really didn’t have it, and yet the crown princess still got pregnant, it was unlikely that they still didn’t admit the pregnancy at this time. Therefore . . . the crown princess was estimated to be really unwell.
 
For a moment, the live broadcast viewers all started to inwardly pray for the crown princess, hoping that he would not have something.
 
There were more and more people watching the live broadcast right now. After Myer was informed by some people, he also went to watch the live broadcast.
 
Seeing Edgar holding Shu Shu with gaze firmly stuck on Shu Shu's body, Myer’s clenched fists were getting tighter and tighter.
 
"Myer, don't be sad. I think the crown prince definitely has you in his heart. He should have no beast bead and feels that he doesn’t deserve you, so he’d marry that Shu Shu!" Myer's friend said.
 
What Myer’s friends said, some netizens also mentioned, and many people also thought of the same thing. Nevertheless, Myer only smiled bitterly.
 
He had eyes and could clearly see that when Edgar looked at Shu Shu, his eyes were full of deep love.
 
Regardless of whether Edgar had the beast bead or not, he sincerely liked that sub-beastman.
 
Thinking so, Myer continued to watch the live broadcast.
 
Ian was also watching the live broadcast as he rushed to the Imperial Plaza. His face was not so good, and his heart was as rocky as turbulent seas and rivers.
 
The people who knew about Edgar not having the beast bead were very, very few. How the hell did that Donald know? Why would he do a live broadcast to publicize this matter?
 
Like those people who had framed Edgar before, did he want to ruin Edgar’s reputation? And ruin the Imperial family’s reputation?
 
Ian gritted his teeth and felt very painful when he thought of his son receiving all kinds of criticism after the news about him having no beast bead spread. At the same time, he also thought of some other things.
 
Donald was recommended by Jonathan, and the matter of Edgar having no beast bead, he only told Jonathan . . . .
 
Did what happened this time also have something to do with Jonathan? But . . . why would Jonathan do such things?
 
The aircraft Ian rode in stopped on the balcony of the Imperial Plaza Restaurant. At this moment, the doctor was finally done giving Shu Shu a detailed examination.
 
"Although my instrument can't inspect the child's specific circumstances because the energy on the child’s body is too strong, but the crown princess is pregnant. This is beyond doubt." The doctor's expression was very firm. "The crown princess’ movements just now were too violent and injured the fetus’ vital energy, so he must take a good rest now."

"This is impossible! It’s obviously a tumor in my stomach!" Shu Shu absolutely didn’t believe it. Having been a male mouse for so many years, how was it possible that he suddenly became pregnant?
 
"Crown princess! Although I’m not a specialized obstetrician, but my partner has given birth to seven children. When His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince was in the empress' stomach, I also looked after him. In no way will I be mistaken." The doctor promptly stated. He had been occupied with rushing over here and had not spared some time to watch the live broadcast, so he did not know that Donald had talked about Edgar not having the beast bead. As a result, he was very suspicious now. "You’re pregnant. Why are you not willing to admit it?"
 
When the doctor came up with this question, Shu Shu was still out of sorts, but everyone on the star network exploded.
 
Yeah, pregnancy was a good thing, ah. Why was the crown princess not willing to admit it?
 
This doctor was very famous, and his diagnosis would not be wrong. Furthermore, now was the best occasion to clarify the crown prince’s matter . . . . So, why did the crown princess still insist on saying that he was not pregnant?
 
"It’s unlikely that the child in the crown princess’ belly isn’t the crown prince’s, right?"
 
"The crown prince's beast bead is gone, yet the crown princess . . . . Could it be that he ate someone else's beast bead?"
 
"The crown princess' belly is so big. The child should’ve been conceived five or six months ago. Could it be that the child is really unrelated to the crown prince?"
 
. . . . . .

There were more and more comments like this on the star network. At this moment, Edgar was staring at the doctor with a strange expression. "Doctor Coleman, Shu Shu is really pregnant?"

"Yes, definitely! Although I can't see the situation inside the egg because the eggshell is too hard, but isn't that an egg? And the surrounding is the womb." Dr. Coleman took out the photo for Edgar to see that the crown princess was one hundred percent pregnant.
 
Shu Shu’s stomach hurt very much, but with how special the current situation was, he also moved close to Edgar hurriedly so they could see the situation inside his stomach together.
 
He did not know whether it was because he had exhausted his spiritual power or what, but this time, the machine captured the situation inside his stomach clearly. That indeed looked like an egg, seeing that beastmen and sub-beastmen were all born from eggs.
 
"How can I lay an egg!" Disbelief showed across Shu Shu’s whole face. Even if he was really going to give birth, hamster didn’t lay eggs, ah!
 
Edgar also thought that it was impossible. Shu Shu was a beastman; how could he get pregnant?
 
But . . . it really looked like an egg . . . . And previously, he also felt very, very close to it . . . .
 
Could it be that this was really not a tumor but an egg?
 
Edgar was already knocked senseless and totally couldn’t come to himself.
 
The live broadcast viewers who saw His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s expression all sympathized with him.
 
It seemed that this child was really not His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s, otherwise His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince would not show such an incredulous expression . . . .
 
"Before, I wanted to say that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince is really unkind and dishonest for still wanting to marry a sub-beastman while not having the beast bead. But now . . . I think he’s very pitiful!"
 
"I feel sorry for His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince."
 
"What the hell is going on with the crown princess?! Even if the child isn’t His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s, isn’t it very mean of the crown princess to say that it’s a tumor and he’s going to have an operation to remove it?"
 
"Damn it, he actually deceived His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince!”

. . . . . .

The netizens already started denouncing Shu Shu. Ian came in from the outside at this moment.
 
Ian watched the entire live broadcast from start to finish and also knew that the live broadcast was still running now . . . . He wanted to smash all those webcams, but the current situation . . . .
 
Edgar was believed to have no beast bead, while Shu Shu was believed to have an extramarital affair . . . . The situation could no longer be worse. This time, he had better think carefully about how to solve these matters well!
 
Besides, he always felt that Shu Shu was not that kind of person who would get pregnant while being unmarried so as to marry his own son. In this case . . . .
 
After Ian went in, he immediately turn towards Shu Shu. "Shu Shu, is Edgar’s beast bead with you or not?"

Shu Shu had already been confused and disoriented by the matter of his pregnancy, so when Ian suddenly questioned him now, his face was unsightly, and he was immediately panic-stricken. "I didn't mean to lose it!"

Ian would ask that question because he remembered what Edgar had told him before; that he was seriously injured when he fell to Gass planet, and there was only Shu Shu in that forest. It made him think whether there was a possibility that Shu Shu had actually picked up Edgar’s beast bead.
 
As a result . . . Shu Shu said that he had lost Edgar's beast bead? So the beast bead was really lost?
 
Ian heard this answer and frowned deeply. Then Shu Shu spoke again, "I really didn't mean it. The beast bead suddenly disappeared. No matter how I looked for it, I couldn't find it."

Shu Shu regretted it very much now. Why did he lose the beast bead? What exactly was the purpose of this beast bead, ah?
 
The beast bead . . . suddenly disappeared? Ian suddenly had a bold conjecture. "You said that a tumor grew in your body. Did it grow after you lost the beast bead?"

Shu Shu nodded and then shook his head. "Not at the beginning. It only grew after a few days.”
 
“. . .” Ian was silent for a moment and asked again, “Then, was it after you had a relationship with Edgar that the tumor . . . the tumor . . . became bigger?”

When Ian spoke, his intonation was rather strange, and after he finished speaking, he kept watching Shu Shu closely.
 
Shu Shu nodded again. "Yeah, it's getting bigger."
 
"He he he." Ian looked at Shu Shu's clueless and innocent eyes and felt a lump in his throat. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
 
All the people watching the live broadcast on the star network were also dumbfounded. What was this progress? The Imperial family wanted to make them believe this joke about the crown princess still not realizing that he was pregnant with the crown prince’s child and even took the child to be a tumor?
 
Unbelievable!
 
Was the crown princess an idiot? He didn't know that he was pregnant?
 
Moreover, if the crown princess was really pregnant with the crown prince’s child, why did the crown prince sport such a strange expression?
 
"This way of whitewashing is too idiotic."
 
"It’s totally impossible for the crown princess to not realize that he’s eaten the beast bead, right?
 
“The crown princess doesn’t know. Could it be possible that the crown prince also doesn’t know what the meaning of the beast bead disappearing after he gave it to a sub-beastman?"
 
. . . . . .

Edgar . . . he really didn't know either.
 
He thought about the dialogue between Ian and Shu Shu back and forth several times and finally couldn't help but say, "Is Shu Shu really pregnant?"
 
"You don't know whether Shu Shu’s pregnant or not? Didn’t you say that your beast bead had been lost by you? Why now it became Shu Shu who has lost it?" Ian glared at his own child, furious.
 
"Shu Shu lost the beast bead, I . . ." Edgar suddenly hugged Shu Shu and then sent his spiritual power into Shu Shu's body.
 
After the tumor in Shu Shu's stomach got spiritual power as a supplement, it immediately stopped making trouble, and Shu Shu's stomach stopped hurting as well. At the same time, Edgar also clearly felt the beautiful feeling brought by the blood connection.
 
The tumor in Shu Shu's stomach had a deep connection with him!
 
No, that was not a tumor. That should be a child!
 
Shu Shu ate his beast bead, and that beast bead took root inside Shu Shu's body. Later, they got married, and then Shu Shu had his child.
 
Although this child grew especially fast, and although this child had absorbed a lot of spiritual power that made the instrument always unable to examine him, but it was indeed a child.
 
Hugging Shu Shu, Edgar started to babble incoherently, "I have a child! I have a child! Shu Shu, I have a child!"

"How can there be a child?" Shu Shu still looked blank .
 
"Ha ha ha, we have a child!" Edgar hugged Shu Shu tight and kissed him on the lips. The image that the crown prince had always showed was a man who was steady, cold, and detached, but now he was all happy and crazy.
 
The netizens, however, were struck dumb.
 
What was this all about? Shouldn’t the crown prince angrily divorce the crown princess? Could it be that . . . the child in the crown princess’ belly was indeed His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s?
 
If the crown princess’ child was truly His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s, why would they regard the child as a tumor and even plan to have an operation to remove it?!
 
On the star network, a bunch of ". . ." re-emerged and filled the live broadcast comment section. At present, everyone finally had no more strength to ridicule.
 
They slowed down for a while to recuperate, and then they saw on the live broadcast that the crown prince was still hugging the crown princess and laughing heartily, completely without image.
 
"This man . . . is really His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince whom I worship?"
 
"So, the crown princess’ child is indeed His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s?"
 
"How could they regard the child as a tumor?!"
 
"What the hell is this?!"
 
. . . . . .

The people on the star network were driven mad, and Ian was also just like them.
 
"Edgar, would you stop!" Ian suddenly said.
 
Edgar stopped and finally blotted out the ecstasy in his heart with reason. The whole person started to become normal.
 
"You tell me, what exactly is going on?!" Ian said.
 
"I gave the beast bead to Shu Shu. Shu Shu said that he lost it, so I thought my beast bead was gone . . . . I . . ." Edgar quickly thought of an excuse in response to Ian and then hurriedly turned towards Shu Shu. "Shu Shu, how exactly did you lose the beast bead?" His mood had been fluctuating then, so he hadn't asked about this . . . .

"I thought your beast bead was very fun to play with. I kept it in my mouth to play with, and suddenly, it was gone. I ate a lot of things so as to draw it out, but I didn't succeed . . ." Shu Shu was still very much at a loss. How did the tumor become a child? However, being told like this by these people, he actually began to feel that this thing in his belly was indeed a child . . . .
 
In this place, it should be that eating a bead could make you get pregnant, right?
 
Edgar really wanted to laugh, but, thinking that he had regarded the child as a tumor, the laughter did not come out, and his expression as he stifled his laughter was extremely strange. This time, Ian knocked his head with a fist. "Shu Shu's living environment was very isolated. He had no Internet and also no parents to teach him, so he doesn't understand many things. How was your physiology class? The child’s already this big, and you actually still don't know?"

Ian thought that his son really needed a spanking! Going as far as to regard his grandson as a tumor!
 
Edgar felt very wronged. His physiology class was very good; he remembered all the knowledge clearly. He would make such an unexpected mistake totally because Shu Shu was a beastman!
 
How would he know that beastmen could also get pregnant?
 
No, Shu Shu could not be considered as a beastman. He was different than the beastmen of the Beastman Empire. It was estimated that he could only get pregnant because of this . . . .
 
Shu Shu’s situation could not be known by others, so Edgar could only be burdened by the black mark of "not good in physiology class".

On the star network:
 
“. . .”

“. . .”

“. . .”

After some moments when everyone was speechless, someone finally asked, "Do you think this is true? The crown prince and the crown princess really didn't know about the pregnancy?"

“How to explain it otherwise? If it’s fake, the crown prince will never recognize it."
 
"After the child is born, his gene will be recorded. The Imperial family will never recognize a child who has no blood relationship with them."
 
"Ha ha ha ha ha, the crown prince actually regarded the child as a tumor. Don’t you think it’s very funny?”
 
Everyone suddenly went silent. 

Before . . . the crown prince and the crown princess indeed insisted that it was a tumor . . . .

Edgar and the others completely had no time to pay attention to the things on the star network.
 
At this moment, Doctor Coleman couldn't help but say, "His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince! The crown princess has stirred the fetus’ vital energy. How could you still carry him to jump around? He needs to rest, you know? He needs to rest!"

Edgar immediately didn't dare to move. Shu Shu, on the contrary, waved his hand. "I'm fine. I’m very good now. I’m just very hungry."

"Are you really all right?" Edgar watched Shu Shu anxiously and then called Coleman again. "Doctor Coleman, you quickly give Shu Shu an examination again!"

Coleman, without the slightest hesitation, started the detection device once  again. As a result . . . there was nothing at all on the detection device.
 
"Look, you can't see anything at all now . . . . Is that really a child?" Shu Shu couldn't help but ask.
 
"Of course!" Coleman was full of excitement. "In legend, children with powerful bloodline can block detection. This must be a very, very powerful child!"

Hearing Coleman's words, Edgar felt extremely proud. But after nodding proudly, he couldn't help but start to worry—Shu Shu always believed that he was a beastman; wouldn't he be unable to accept that he was pregnant with a child?
 
He wanted to have a proper chat with Shu Shu, but there were too many people here, which was clearly unsuitable for any conversation . . . . Edgar abruptly carried Shu Shu in his arms and then ran outside.
 
The crown prince just ran away like this?
 
The people brought by Edgar were somewhat at a loss and stood rooted to the spot. Synthia, who had completely become a transparent person in the later period, looked even more embarrassed and at a complete loss. Ian, however, had already recovered. "You take care of things here and restore the room to its original state!"
 
Ian had just finished speaking, and everyone started to get busy. Those micro-robots were finally found and destroyed. At first, the beastmen who were summoned by Edgar to deal with this matter didn’t even realize that these micro-robots were the ones that did the live broadcast and spread everything out.
 
The live broadcast on the star network was cut short just like that, but everyone was still indescribably excited and talking incessantly about the previous matters.
 
"Ha ha ha ha, it's so funny. After the beast bead was eaten by the sub-beastman, the crown prince actually thought that he had no beast bead."
 
"That was the best live broadcast I’ve ever seen in this lifetime. In such a short time, the plot reversed countless times, ah!"
 
"My god, some people actually took a child to be a tumor!"
 
"A tumor! Ha ha ha ha. This gag can make me laugh for a year. No, no way will I only laugh for a year! I’m going to laugh for a lifetime and let my son and grandson continue laughing!”
 
“I’ve been laughing until my stomach hurts! I recorded the whole live broadcast, and now I’m watching the replay. When Donald said that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince had no beast bead, that guilty expression of the crown princess . . . was because he thought he had lost His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s beast bead, right?"
 
"I’ve seen countless jokes of the Imperial family, but this one is definitely the best laugh!"
 
"His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s child is unlucky, being regarded as a tumor by their parents, ah. Ha ha ha ha."
   
. . . . . .

Countless people were talking about it on the Internet. The live broadcast of the crown prince over here could be said to have attracted the attention of a great number of people. Many people had stopped their works and began to pay attention to this matter, to the extent that no one discovered that in a certain area on the capital star, a fight suddenly started and then quickly ended.
 
Chris personally led some men to arrest the behind-the-scenes mastermind, which was his sub-beastman younger brother, Jonathan. However, Jonathan had been prepared since long ago, so that he only caught some of Jonathan's subordinates in the end.
 
As for Jonathan himself . . . .
 
Taking advantage of countless people whose attention was being attracted by the live broadcast, a private spaceship suddenly took off and rushed into the universe. Its speed was very, very fast that Chris failed to catch up with it.
 
Chris contacted the nearby Imperial Fleet without the slightest hesitation and ordered the men of the Imperial Fleet to go and capture that private spaceship. The men of the Imperial Fleet promptly accepted the order, but they did not dare to guarantee that they would really be able to overtake that private spaceship.
 
The universe was too big, so if a private spaceship that was good at concealing itself wanted to hide deliberately, it was really very difficult for them to catch it.
 
"List Jonathan as wanted! Lock up Calvin and the Duke of Mund!" Chris stated without the slightest hesitation.
 
Jonathan escaped, but probably because this incident happened so suddenly and because they also put the emphasis on monitoring the Duke of Mund, so the Duke of Mund was arrested, and Calvin was handcuffed without any resistance just now.
 
As Chris watched his men handle matters, he began to frown. When he first investigated the incident of Edgar being harmed, he looked into the Duke of Mund. At that time, he still thought that even if the Duke of Mund had a hand in it, Jonathan, who grew up with him from childhood and had a deep relationship with him, should not know about it. As a result . . . the one who set about doing harm to Edgar and ruining the reputation of the Imperial family was actually not the Duke of Mund but Jonathan. Why the hell would Jonathan do this?
 
His parents had adopted Jonathan, raised him well, and never let him down. Why would Jonathan betray the Imperial family?
 
Chris was both puzzled and bitter but still methodically issued numerous orders. After doing all this, he then asked the man at his side, "How is Edgar over there?"
 
Donald starting to work on Shu Shu at that point in time should be Jonathan diverting Chris’ attention . . . and Jonathan made the right move. That Donald did shift many people’s line of sight and also drew Edgar away, so that they failed to capture Jonathan.
 
"Your Imperial Majesty, the crown princess is pregnant." Chris’ subordinate said. There had been a lot of things going on there, but he thought that their imperial majesty should want to hear this news the most.

Shu Shu was pregnant? Chris suddenly found out that his attention had been diverted and he could no longer pursue and attack Jonathan wholeheartedly.
 
Edgar, carrying Shu Shu, rode the aircraft back to the Imperial palace. Then he brought Shu Shu into their bedroom straightaway and very carefully put Shu Shu on the bed.
 
"Shu Shu, how do you feel?" Edgar asked again.
 
"I’m hungry . . ." Shu Shu stared at Edgar pathetically. He was so hungry, ah . . . .
 
There were too many things before, so Shu Shu forgot to get something to eat from his food pouches. Now that he was back in a familiar place, he immediately took out all kinds of food and began to gnaw on them.
 
Edgar was rather speechless seeing this scene. He promptly ordered 006 to go prepare some food and then turned toward Shu Shu again. "Shu Shu, you’re pregnant with my child. What are you going to do?"

Edgar watched Shu Shu anxiously for fear that Shu Shu would declare that he did not want the child.
 
"That's the best then! If it's truly a child, I don't need to fear that this tumor is a malignant tumor!" Shu Shu replied at once. "I don't need to have an operation, which is great! I heard it’s very painful to give birth to a child, but now that the science and technology are developed, being in labor should probably be painless, right?"
 
"It should be." Edgar automatically nodded and then managed to react, looking at Shu Shu with great joy. "Shu Shu, will you give birth to the child?"
 
"Of course." Shu Shu nodded. Since he was pregnant, he certainly had to give birth to the child. He liked children very much . . . .
 
Wait a minute . . . although he liked children, but he liked hamster babies. Now that he was pregnant with Edgar’s child, he would not give birth to a snake, would he?
 
Thinking of being pregnant with a snake in his stomach, Shu Shu felt terrible all over.

62. Shu Shu is Pregnant


When Donald was looking at his communication device, Shu Shu and Synthia ordered the dishes they wanted. Shu Shu’s appetite was very good recently. He had long been hungry and so ordered a lot, including the dishes he had eaten the last time Edgar had brought him here and the dishes that looked pretty good. 
 
"Donald, it's your turn to order." Shu Shu gave the electronic menu to Donald.
 
Hearing Shu Shu’s words, Donald looked up, the corners of his mouth curling up with a tender smile. "Won’t you order a few more?"
 
"I’ve already ordered a lot, but those all are for me and Synthia to eat. If you want to eat, you order yourself." Shu Shu said. Synthia had a small appetite, so it did not matter if he shared some of the dishes he had ordered with Synthia. However, even if Donald wanted to eat something he ordered, a beastman’s appetite was too big, and the dishes wouldn’t be enough.
 
Donald saw admiration for him in Shu Shu’s eyes, but the admiration did not contain any ambiguous feeling. He mentally sighed. The time was indeed too short after all.
 
If the time was a bit longer, he would definitely be able to get this sub-beastman’s favorable impression and also make him eat his beast bead . . . . Donald took the electronic menu, but his mind was not on the menu at all.
 
Him approaching Shu Shu was premeditated.
 
After marrying the crown prince, this crown princess lived in the seclusion of his own home and seldom came out. He didn't even go to school or contact any of his friends . . . or maybe he simply didn't have any friends. Anyway, it was very difficult to approach him, but they still found a way.
 
The crown princess had a classmate called Synthia, and it could be said that Synthia’s family was a mess.
 
After they investigated the situation of Synthia's family, they found a mine owner from a remote planet and thought of a way to make him meet Viscount Morton.
 
This mine owner was willing to give Viscount Morton a large sum of money just to be able to take Synthia as his wife . . . . Such a lure, Viscount Morton absolutely couldn’t refuse it. In addition, someone intentionally or unintentionally mentioned in front of Viscount Morton that he had better married Synthia off, so as to avoid Synthia retaliating against him in the future . . . . Viscount Morton was even more eager to “get rid of” Synthia.
 
Taking advantage of the newly-wed crown princess who completely stopped paying attention to his old classmate, the Mortons was going to send Synthia away to marry on a remote planet that was difficult to contact from the capital star . . . . At that time, not to mention that they could get a large sum of money, they could also make Synthia unable to retaliate against them. It’s great, wasn’t it?
 
After discussing the price with that mine owner, Viscount Morton then locked Synthia up, waiting for that mine owner to leave the capital star and take Synthia away.
 
At this time, they tackled another task.
 
Among Donald's comrades, there was a hacker expert. That man might be at his wit’s end against the defense system of the Imperial palace, but he could easily break through the defense system of Viscount Morton's home. And controlling the Mortons’ robots was practically a very, very simple thing for him.
 
Synthia at last had an opportunity to contact Shu Shu, and when Shu Shu went to save Synthia, Donald, very naturally, appeared before Shu Shu . . . . Donald tapped on his communication device a few times, and when he thought of Viscount Morton, the corners of his mouth curled up with a wisp of a sardonic smile.
 
Viscount Morton could have never thought that his fear would land him to his present plight. Anyway, it was an opportunity for someone who wanted to approach Shu Shu, right?
 
After he approached Shu Shu by means of this matter, he began to implement his own plan—seducing Shu Shu.
 
He was outstanding in appearance, strong in strength, and very good at pleasing sub-beastmen. In the past, as long as he took a fancy to any sub-beastmen, they all soon would be caught by him. Unfortunately, although Shu Shu had a good opinion on him now, but he remained unmoved . . . .
 
The time was really too short . . . .
 
Donald chose the “please do not disturb” option on the menu with some regret. After that, he took out a few tiny flying robots that were no bigger than a fingernail.
 
He waved his hand, and all those tiny robots flew into the air.
 
"What are those?" Shu Shu always had sharp ears and keen eyes, so he naturally found these little things immediately and curiously watched them fly by.
 
"Micro-robots for taking pictures and shooting videos. I finally have a chance to come to the Imperial Plaza to eat, so of course I must photograph the whole thing." Donald looked at Shu Shu, all smiles.
 
Shu Shu glanced at those micro-robots that were flying around the room or had planted themselves on the surrounding walls and nodded in understanding.
 
One of his former owners was a photography maniac. No matter what he was doing, he would take a photo and send it to his microblog or his circle of friends. Shu Shu didn’t expect that Donald also have this kind of hobby.
 
Only, was it necessary to use so many micro-robots just to take some souvenir photos?
 
Shu Shu looked at Donald with some doubts, but he did not know that at this time, the anchor of a very lively room on the star network's largest live broadcast platform suddenly disappeared from sight, and then the view switched to the situation inside their room.
 
The anchor of that room was a sub-beastman actor who was very famous in the Beastman Empire. He was originally singing a song and suddenly got disconnected. His fans were all very dissatisfied, but before they had a chance to question the live broadcast platform, they suddenly discovered that the scene had changed into a sub-beastman who actually looked exactly the same as the crown princess.
 
No, this was not the case of looking exactly the same, ah. This was clearly the crown princess.
 
So the sudden change of the live broadcast scene was in fact giving them an Easter egg? Letting them have a chance to see the crown princess’ daily life?
 
"Aaaah! That's the crown princess, ah! After the wedding, I finally saw him again!"
 
"Why did Momo stop singing?"
 
"The place where the crown princess is staying . . . . That’s the Imperial Plaza, right? You look at that decoration. It’s really so luxurious!”
 
“I can actually watch the live broadcast of the crown princess dining with others, ah! It’s great!”
 
. . . . . .

The live broadcast viewers who suddenly found that the scene had changed unexpectedly didn’t become completely angry. Instead, they were very excited. At the same time, they incessantly called their friends and family, looking for companions to watch the live broadcast together.
 
There were more and more people in the live broadcast room, and not only that, but the scene of several other rooms had also been switched over to the scene of Shu Shu and two other people eating at the Imperial Plaza. It made the netizens confused but also made more and more people come to watch.
 
Shu Shu didn't know about this situation at all, and right now, Donald was staring at Shu Shu, his expression more and more tender. "Also, I have one thing that needs to be done, and I hope they can help me record this moment that’s, personally, the most important moment to me. "

What was Donald going to do? Shu Shu looked perplexed. Then, Donald in front of him suddenly started to freeze the room over with ice—Donald’s innate skill was exactly freezing things.
 
"What are you going to do?" Shu Shu looked at Donald guardedly.
 
Donald, facing Shu Shu and showing a warm smile, suddenly got down on one knee on the floor. The illuminating light and the ice layering the surrounding walls that was flickering with all kinds of brilliant rays made the restaurant looked like a splendid and magnificent house as well as making Donald look all the more loving.

The live broadcast viewers all stared blankly. Why did the crown princess eat together with another beastman instead of with His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince? Also, why was the atmosphere so ambiguous?
 
"??" Shu Shu stared at Donald with a head full of fog. Just now, he thought Donald was going to do something bad. As a result, Donald suddenly knelt down.
 
"Your Imperial Highness, I just want you to know my feelings for you." Donald gazed at Shu Shu with eyes full of love.
 
Shu Shu somewhat had no reaction and automatically asked, "What feelings?"
 
On the contrary, Synthia understood Donald’s words and cried out in surprise.
 
"Shu Shu, when I first saw you, I fell in love with you. You’re the most beautiful flower in the plain, the brightest star in the starry sky, the most dazzling gem in this world, and also the most beautiful sub-beastman I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. I’m willing to dedicate everything to you.” Donald said. “I love you. If you’re a fish, I’m willing to make a river for you to swim freely. If you’re a tree, I’m willing to become the soil for you to take root. If you are the wind, I’m willing to become a cloud to follow you blow . . . ."

Donald looked very handsome, and his voice was also very pleasant to hear. Such a big and handsome guy actually confessed to himself on bended knee. Even if Shu Shu, as a matter of fact, didn't like him at all, but he would also be happy because the vanity in his heart was satisfied.
 
Shu Shu was very happy. Although such flattering remarks were a bit corny, but listening to them made people feel good, ah! That guy Edgar certainly wouldn’t say such words.
 
As a result, he listened all along until Donald stopped.
 
"You don’t say?" Shu Shu asked.
 
Noticing Shu Shu’s pleased expression, Donald’s eyes were brimming with joyful thoughts. "In my eyes, no one can compare to you. I simply don't know how to describe my love for you . . . . Shu Shu, are you willing to accept me?"

Countless people saw Donald's confession at the same time through the live broadcast.
 
When people who had been admiring the good looks of the crown princess and the fine decoration of the Imperial Plaza saw this scene, they all had the feeling of "WTF?!".
 
What the hell did they see? Someone confessed to the crown princess, and the crown princess still looked like he really enjoyed it.
 
"What’s going on here? What the hell is going on here?"
 
"Fuck! Someone actually confessed to the crown princess. The crown princess is His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s!"
 
"Even if this man is very handsome, I still despise him for being the other man!"
 
"The crown princess actually looked very happy to be complimented. So disgusting!"
 
"How could this sub-beastman be like this! Does he want to betray His Imperial Highness?"
 
. . . . . .

People were very excited, and some people began to wonder what the hell was going on with this live broadcast. Could it be that some hacker found out that the crown princess had an affair and decided to show it to everyone?
 
The people on the star network were boiling. The content of the live broadcast had been changed without so much as a by-your-leave, but the live broadcast viewers had actually doubled and were even very excited.
 
Edgar was talking with Chris when his communication device suddenly rang. He opened it, and Calvin’s voice rushed out from it. “Edgar! It’s bad! You quickly go to the star network and see. Someone confessed to your sub-beastman! I suspect it’s a conspiracy!"

Someone confessed to Shu Shu? Edgar stared blankly and immediately opened the star network.
 
The outside was already in an uproar, but the frozen room was still quiet. Donald, kneeling on the floor, was still waiting for Shu Shu's response. "Shu Shu, I know that I’m a little impulsive, but if I don't speak now, I may not have another chance to confess to you in the future. Can you accept my love?"

"Of course not. I don't like you." Shu Shu answered directly and then said a few words of praise, "But you really have a good taste! And your literary talent is also very good." Those words this man had said just now was really very wonderful. Shu Shu decided to memorize them and then tell Edgar about them when he went back.

"Why don't you like me?" Donald stared at Shu Shu with disappointment.
 
"Why on earth would I like you?" Shu Shu asked in reply. He was not familiar at all with this Donald, so why on earth would he like him?
 
"Is it because of His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince?" A deep sadness appeared in Donald’s eyes.
 
Shu Shu thought for a moment and nodded. "Yeah! I like him, and I definitely don't like you."
 
The people on the star network all saw the dialogue between Shu Shu and Donald. Seeing Shu Shu reject Donald without the slightest hesitation, those who had just complained about Shu Shu now had a good impression of Shu Shu again. In addition, people began to comment, "The crown princess isn’t dressed up today. He looks so small and exquisite and so cute!"
 
"The crown princess was so cute when answering, and his gaze was clear."
 
"The crown princess looked really charming when admitting that he liked His Imperial Highness."
 
“I really want to take a bite of the crown princess!”
 
. . . . . .


Edgar got connected to the star network. He was barely online when he heard Shu Shu’s confession, and his mood instantly became better. But as he browsed the comments below, his expression became gloomy again.
 
Edgar closed the star network and walked out right away. "Father, that Donald has a problem. I’m going to find Shu Shu!" There was definitely a problem with a live broadcast like this suddenly appearing on the star network. Donald was that person’s man; it was impossible that his confession to Shu Shu was genuine . . . .
 
Edgar frowned deeply—Shu Shu’s body was not too good now; he was afraid that Shu Shu would have an accident with Donald there . . . .
 
Once Edgar thought about it, he was even more impatient. At the same time, he started to look for people through his communication device.
 
On his communication device, Calvin, who had just contacted him, was on the first row, but this time, he did not go and contact this best friend whom he once trusted very much.
 
"I’m going to catch that person." Chris also said. Before, he was still thinking that he shouldn’t inadvertently alert the enemy in advance since he wanted to solve the problem at one fell swoop. However, looking at the current situation, that enemy might have already known something.
 
The two of them quickly left, but the live broadcast on the internet still continued.
 
After Shu Shu rejected Donald, Donald looked very hurt. He bowed his head and was silent for a while before he suddenly raised his head and faced Shu Shu again. "Shu Shu, you like His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince, but does His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince like you?"

Shu Shu nodded without the slightest hesitation. "He certainly likes me!" Edgar liked him, desperately and seriously liked him!
 
"Are you really sure?" Donald asked again.
 
"Of course I’m sure!" Shu Shu replied.
 
"No, he doesn’t love you. If it were not for him not having the beast bead, why would he marry you?" Donald said. "Shu Shu, he doesn't sincerely like you. Only I who’s sincere to you."
 
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Shu Shu frowned, thinking that Donald had some problem. Whether Edgar liked him or not, what was the relationship with the beast bead? When Edgar liked him, the beast bead had not yet been lost by him!
 
"Edgar's beast bead is gone, isn't it?" Donald asked, watching Shu Shu closely.
 
Suddenly being questioned like this, Shu Shu inevitably revealed a guilty expression and even subconsciously asked, "How do you know?" Edgar's beast bead was lost by him. Others shouldn't have known about this matter, right?
 
Seeing Shu Shu’s expression, Donald couldn't help but feel like laughing. Edgar's beast beast . . . was actually really gone!
 
Donald did not know what those people who had known about this matter would think now . . . . But he persisted and said again, "He didn't have the beast bead and still married you. Do you dare to say that he loves you? He’s doing harm to you with this. Because you don't have a background, you can get controlled by him. That’s why he’d choose you and marry you."
 
Shu Shu looked very lost. He completely didn’t understand the meaning of Donald’s words.
 
And everyone who was watching the live broadcast was already stupefied.
 
What did they hear? The crown prince actually didn’t have the beast bead? So the reason why he would go and marry this sub-beastman who came from a remote planet was actually because he did not have the beast bead?
 
"This isn’t true, right?"
 
"I don't believe it!"
 
"This man made things up, right?"
 
"Look at the crown princess’ expression. It seems to be true, ah . . . ."
 
. . . . . .

Shu Shu was someone who showed everything on his face. Everyone clearly saw his guilty expression before and then his lost expression now . . . . Everyone understood that he became like this because he was too grief-stricken.
 
Every beastman of the Beastman Empire was very compassionate toward sub-beastmen. The sub-beastmen themselves would stick together when their companions were hurt. For a time, everyone actually started to sympathized with Shu Shu and made a complaint against the crown prince.
 
"Oh my God!"
 
"This shouldn’t be true, right?"
 
"How could His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince do such things?!"
 
. . . . . .


People were very angry and wanted to say something, but they didn’t even have a chance to say anything, and the plot already moved on. Moreover, it went to a strange direction in a mad rush!
 
When people were still sympathizing with Shu Shu, Donald took out his own beast bead. "Shu Shu, I love you, and I’m willing to use the beast bead to prove my love for you."

What development was this? Shu Shu felt that he might have misunderstood the meaning of the beast bead . . . .
 
When Edgar gave him the beast bead at that time, he didn’t know that what Edgar gave him was the beast bead. He even thought that it was the same as the red bead in his body because he had not learned about the beast bead. Later, after realizing that what Edgar gave him the other day was the beast bead, he, keeping an escape mentality, was even more reluctant to perform an in-depth investigation since the beast bead was already gone.
 
Looking at the situation now . . . this beast bead seemed to have a different meaning?
 
No matter how special the beast bead was in the end, right now Shu Shu absolutely didn’t like and even loathed Donald’s beast bead.
 
He had been in contact with Donald for a while, and he originally still had a good opinion on Donald, but the odor emitted by Donald's beast bead made him feel very disgusted.
 
Shu Shu immediately turned his head away. "I don't want to."
 
Donald still looked at Shu Shu with a gentle expression, eyes still showing a deep love, but then he abruptly stood up and grabbed Shu Shu’s arm. "Shu Shu, please accept it."

It was impossible to use a forceful method to compel a sub-beastman to ingest the beast bead. If the sub-beastman did not accept the beastman’s beast bead, he could spit it out directly. Therefore, the beastman could only be soft. Because of this, Donald maintained the image of being deeply in love from beginning to end in front of Shu Shu. "Shu Shu, the crown prince doesn’t love you, but I love you, and I’m willing to give you the beast bead. Would you go with me? We can give birth to many children and have a sub-beastman who’s as pretty as you . . ."

Shu Shu frowned and felt nauseous. He felt uncomfortable from head to toe. "You, let go of my hand!"
 
"I won’t let go!" Donald looked at Shu Shu with a firm gaze while sending his own beast bead into Shu Shu's mouth.
 
His contact time with Shu Shu was too short. He did not dare to guarantee that Shu Shu would accept his beast bead, but he felt that the possibility was not small.
 
He was very attractive. Furthermore, as long as Shu Shu did not hate him, the beast bead would probably take root after entering Shu Shu’s stomach . . . .  Thinking so, Donald reached out with his hand to restrain Shu Shu.
 
Right at this moment, he suddenly received a thump and then got beaten up.
 
Shu Shu punched Donald out and retched two times before asking a question, "What do you think you’re doing?!" He initially didn't want to beat people up. After all, he had a pretty good impression of Donald. Moreover, this man only confessed his feelings to him. It was unreasonable for him to go and beat this man up.

But just now, he felt Donald's malice against him.
 
Shu Shu couldn't help but shiver slightly as he watched Donald guardedly . . . . In the past, he rarely fought with people, and even if he was fighting with people, he used his hamster form. Now, he practically didn't know how to fight. Should this man harbored malicious intentions  . . . what’s to be done, ah.
 
Donald was startled by Shu Shu’s powerful punch. But when he saw Shu Shu’s appearance now, he felt that it was probably his own carelessness that allowed him to get hit by Shu Shu, or maybe Shu Shu carried a defensive equipment on his body that could do that sort of thing.
 
He had already wasted a lot of time with Shu Shu, and the live broadcast had also been aired for a while. He was afraid that the crown prince would soon come. Although he had used his innate skill to seal this room, but if a few strong people came, they could still easily smashed the door open . . . .
 
Right now, the only way out for him was to capture Shu Shu and take Shu Shu as a hostage!
 
Donald no longer hid himself and no longer pretended to be deeply in love. He directly pounced on Shu Shu, intending to catch Shu Shu, and the momentum on his body suddenly became stronger.
 
"Ah!" Shu Shu jumped in fright and, concentrating all the spiritual power he possessed in his hands, struck against Donald crazily until both swinging hands produced an afterimage.
 
When he was a hamster, he had experience with similar fights. At the moment, his mouth couldn't bite, but he could grab and scratch and scratch!
 
Of course, the most important thing was spiritual power! He already had a daemon core, so the robust spiritual power could help him fight!
 
Shu Shu basically didn't care about what fighting style and only knew to strike crazily. When he came back to himself, he suddenly discovered that Donald had been beaten by him until he retreated against the side wall. Donald’s face was bloody, and the clothes on his body were torn up. His gaping mouth was still spitting out a mouthful of blood, but his gaze were firmly fixed on Shu Shu.
 
Shu Shu saw astonishment and rancor mixing in the other party’s gaze and did not hesitate to send a kick toward Donald’s vital parts.
 
Donald's whole person hunched up to cover his vital parts and then fell in a heap on the floor, shuddering incessantly.
 
The people on the star network were all stupefied.
 
What the hell did they see? A sub-beastman . . . actually knocked down a beastman and even employed such a savage way!
 
Everyone who was watching the live broadcast, whether it was a beastman or a sub-beastman, felt that a certain part of them ached dully. They didn’t even know what to say, so one ellipsis after another were sent out just like that.
 
Since when was a sub-beastman actually so savage?
 
Of course, other people’s stupefaction couldn’t compare with Donald’s. He never imagined that the hostage whom he thought could be easily captured could actually beat him up until he became like this.
 
The acute pain affecting his body was incomparable, and the whole person curled up and was unable to get a word out. He eventually couldn't help but turn into his beast form.
 
Because he turned into his beast form, his clothes were ripped apart. And so, a huge tiger was lying down in the private room of the restaurant, and, without the cover of the underwear, everyone could see his swollen balls.
 
That one kick from the sub-beastman was really very powerful!
 
The people on the star network were all dumbfounded, but in the end, some people nevertheless came back to themselves and eventually stopped posting ellipsis and wrote some comments instead.
 
"Such a powerful sub-beastman . . . is His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince able to afford him?"
 
"I’ve checked on the Internet. This Donald’s seven-star beastman. A seven-star beastman . . . was knocked down by the crown princess."

"Can His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince be beaten?"
 
. . . . . .


One by one, the beastmen began to rejoice. They were glad they had never harmed any sub-beastmen. And the sub-beastmen, they were very excited at this moment and full of worship toward Shu Shu.
 
The crown princess was really so amazing! Who was Myer? The crown princess was the most amazing sub-beastman!
 
Myer's achievements, excluding his identity as a duke’s son, other sub-beastmen might also achieve them, but the crown princess . . . . Since ancient times, there had never been such a powerful sub-beastman!
 
Just as everyone was looking at Shu Shu worshippingly, Shu Shu, however, noticed the huge tiger and screamed in fear. After that, he decisively ran to the other end of the room and started to shiver.
 
After he was almost eaten by the tiger last time, he was now very afraid of tigers, ah! Also . . .  when he went wild just now, he used up his spiritual power, and now he had no spiritual power at all . . . .
 
In a flash, Shu Shu got really frightened, and his eyes reddened. "Edgar . . ." Edgar, quickly come and save him, ah!

Shu Shu was just thinking like this when the door of the room was smashed open with a loud "bang". At the same time, Edgar rushed in. "Shu Shu!"
 
"Edgar!" Shu Shu threw himself at Edgar excitedly and started to bawl. “How come you’ve only arrived now, ah! That guy’s going to hit me!”

Your Imperial Highness the Crown Princess, that man who was going to hit you was all beaten up until he was not in a human form anymore, and you still showed such a weak appearance. Were you really all right? Once again, a bunch of ". . ." floated on the star network, and everyone who saw the crown princess burst into tears and sob pathetically was already speechless.
 
Edgar, however, was different. He knew how small Shu Shu's courage was and was extremely distressed right now. "It's okay, it’s okay. It's all my fault for arriving late."

"Edgar, I feel unwell." Shu Shu pursed his brows, his face pale.
 
"What's wrong? Where is it uncomfortable?" Edgar asked worriedly.
 
"My stomach hurts." Shu Shu said while covering his belly with the hand. After his spiritual power was exhausted, his stomach began to feel uncomfortable and throb with pain.
 
When Edgar had not yet arrived, he could still endure it. Now that Edgar was here, he couldn't help but be unwilling to endure it.

"Doctor! Come and help examine Shu Shu!" Edgar said loudly. He had called some people while on the way here. Although these people were a step slower than him when hurrying in, but they should be here now.
 
Sure enough, Edgar’s voice just fell, and a doctor and several beastmen ran in. The beastmen went to arrest Donald, and the doctor came to Shu Shu’s side.
 
"Shu Shu has a tumor growing in his stomach. His stomach hurts now. You quickly help examine him!" Edgar looked at the doctor anxiously.
 
The doctor immediately take out the examination device and started to give Shu Shu an examination, and then his expression became more and more weird. “A tumor? His Imperial Highness the Crown Princess doesn’t have a tumor; he’s pregnant.”

61. Giving Him the Beast Bead to Eat
 

Shu Shu brought a large number of people. Included among these were a group that was part of the Imperial Guards, police officers whom Ian helped him to summon, and also a lawyer recommended by Jonathan who was said to be very powerful.
 
The lawyer was a beastman, but he looked cultured and refined and also wore a pair of glasses. He was surprisingly very different from those beastmen in the army whom Shu Shu had seen in the past.
 
Anyway, even if this beastman was a bit special, Shu Shu still didn’t have time to interact with him. He was in a hurry to find Synthia!
 
Shu Shu brought some police officers along, and thus, after arriving at Viscount Morton’s residence, he broke the gate and entered without giving prior notice and also began to surround this viscount’s mansion house completely . . . . This scene was very interesting, and Shu Shu could not help but shout, "Everyone inside, listen, you’re already surrounded!"

He felt a little embarrassed after he said that, but the people around him actually didn't care. That lawyer called Donald even smiled at Shu Shu.
 
The lawyer's smile didn't have the slightest amount of ridicule and was full of indulgence instead, to the extent that Shu Shu's jot of embarrassment disappeared without a trace in a flash.
 
"What’re we going to do next?" Shu Shu turned toward Donald. The duchess thought highly of Donald. Shu Shu initially felt that this man was a powerful figure, and after reading Donald's resume while on the way here, he was even more certain about this point.
 
This Donald was a top student and had received all kinds of awards since childhood until his hands went limp with exhaustion. After he grew up, he handled countless cases as a lawyer. Although Shu Shu could not understand the vast majority of the legal jargon, but he could not stop himself from admiring this Donald very much.

"Your Imperial Highness wants to step in personally or leave it to me?" Donald watched Shu Shu, all smiles.
 
"You step in." Shu Shu said at once. "Rescue Synthia." He was now a sick person with a tumor growing in his stomach. This situation certainly didn’t require him to step in personally!
 
Hearing Shu Shu say this, Donald’s face showed a smile. He gave Shu Shu a bow and replied with a pleasant-sounding voice, “I will follow your order, Your Imperial Highness.”
 
Although Shu Shu married into the Imperial family, but, essentially, he was still a little daemon who had never seen the world. He had only attended one banquet and ended up leaving in the middle of it to boot. Now, being watched attentively by Donald’s concentrated gaze, he couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.
 
Donald smiled at Shu Shu and then turned round and walked toward Viscount Morton’s residence. "Viscount Morton, you are involved in imprisoning a sub-beastman, mistreating a sub-beastman, embezzling other people’s property, and many other criminal charges. Open the door now, and let us enter."

Donald's voice was very gentle and soft and pleasant to hear, but it was nonetheless very firm. Just by listening to it, one would realize that there was no slightest possibility of a compromise. Viscount Morton was shocked.
 
"We’ve been surrounded. What should we do?" Viscount Morton looked at his partner with fear. He was actually a man with little ability. If not, he would not have needed to exploit his own marriage to fish for a quick buck.
 
"How dare they break in like this!" Viscount Morton's partner was quite angry.
 
"They brought the police. They should’ve reported the case to the authorities." Viscount Morton said. Even if it was the crown princess, he also couldn’t break into people’s homes personally. But the police could.
 
"Father, don't panic. Let's go and call Synthia to come out. We just arranged a marriage for him, that’s all. We didn’t do anything else." Viscount Morton’s son finally placated his parents.
 
Viscount Morton nodded and became much more relaxed. "Come on, you quickly go and call Synthia to come down!"

Manpower was very expensive nowadays, and the nobility also couldn’t have many servants like in the ancient times. Viscount Morton’s family always used robots to do housework, and apart from this, they only employed a beastman to help them do some miscellaneous things. After they locked Synthia up, they already let that beastman return home in order to avoid an information leak.
 
Because of this, Viscount Morton's beastman son personally went to fetch Synthia. In the meantime, the people outside who had been waiting for a while were somewhat impatient.
 
"Viscount Morton, won't you open the door?" Donald said again.
 
No sound whatsoever was heard from inside the house. Donald smiled and extended a hand to take off his glasses.
 
Donald wearing glasses appeared to be gentle and approachable, but Donald without glasses gave people a completely different feeling. If that kind of temperament had to be described with words, it should be called . . . rough and wild?
 
He stowed his glasses inside his breast pocket and suddenly smashed his fist into the door of Viscount Morton’s house.
 
A loud "bang", and then the door—which was made into a retro shape and looked wooden but in fact used a first-rate alloy and was also inlaid with surveillance camera, sensor, and a lot of other paraphernalia—was smashed open just like that!
 
The door fell to the ground, revealing the panic face of Viscount Morton who was standing at the doorway.
 
Donald withdrew his undamaged fist and put away that wisp of evil smile that appeared on the corners of his mouth. Then he took out the glasses that he carried with him and changed back into his initial appearance of an innocent and harmless man. "I’m sorry for breaking your door, Viscount Morton."

"So handsome, ah!" Shu Shu couldn't help but exclaim. That Donald looked very handsome! *cough cough* But he was still not as handsome as Edgar, nor as powerful as Edgar.
 
If it had been Edgar, he could have torn the house down with a sweep of his tail! Moreover, Edgar also wouldn’t go back and forth taking off glasses and then putting on glasses like that.
 
Anyway, even if Donald was like that, his approach was still quite fitting to Shu Shu’s intention, which made him feel very fresh.
 
Standing inside the protection circle of the guard team, Shu Shu stared at Donald excitedly. At the same time, he also heard those police officers utter tiny gasps of surprise.
 
"That Donald is very strong. With such strength, he must be at least a seven-star fighter, right?"
 
"Such a powerful beastman actually didn’t enter the army and became a lawyer instead!"
 
"Since when is a lawyer a seven-star fighter?"
 
. . . . . .

Seven-star, ah. Shu Shu did not expect that this young lawyer had such strength. He watched Donald without blinking, wanting to see what he was going to do next.
 
Donald already entered the house at this time, and Viscount Morton finally managed to react. "What do you think you’re doing?"
 
"I came to rescue people." Donald smiled and then looked behind Viscount Morton’s body. "It’s good that the man has been rescued.”
 
Behind Viscount Morton, two police officers supporting a sub-beastman  were walking toward the door, and that sub-beastman was exactly Synthia whom Shu Shu was looking for.

"Shu Shu!" Seeing Shu Shu, Synthia's tears kept flowing.
 
"Synthia, are you okay?" Shu Shu asked worriedly.
 
Synthia was fine. Although Viscount Morton was bold enough to lock Synthia up for the sake of money and to prevent getting retaliated by Synthia in the future, but he didn’t really dare to hurt Synthia. Therefore, Synthia’s condition was quite good.
 
Since Synthia was fine, Shu Shu also felt relieved. As for the following matters . . . he handed over everything to Donald to deal with.
 
He knew nothing about the laws of the Beastman empire. Even if he wanted to personally handle those matters, he was powerless to do it.
 
Donald did not fail to live up to Shu Shu’s expectation. He handled these matters very beautifully.
 
He first sent all members of the Morton’s family, except Synthia, to the police station on a charge of imprisoning a sub-beastman. Then he tracked down the specific number of various assets that Synthia’s mother had brought along when marrying Viscount Morton. Next, he brought people to liquidate Viscount Morton’s assets, intending to take all of Viscount Morton’s assets to get Synthia a pay out.
 
This was a huge project. Shu Shu originally thought that it would take a good several days to finish. He didn't expect that Donald would come to find him on the next day.
 
"Viscount Morton married Synthia's mother. According to the law of the Empire, he has an obligation to foster Synthia to adulthood. He actually doesn’t need to bear the cost of Synthia attending the skill class after Synthia grows to adulthood. In this case, the assets that belong to Synthia are exactly the assets that Synthia’s mother brought along when marrying Viscount Morton minus the cost of attending the skill class of the Imperial College.” Inside the Imperial palace, Donald reported the situation to Shu Shu and Synthia with a smile.
 
"How much money can Synthia get?" Shu Shu asked curiously. He didn't like that Viscount Morton from the start. After he knew that the viscount had actually married Synthia's mother for money and had also not been good to Synthia's mother, he was even more disgusted with him. Now he was eager for Synthia to take all the money from the Mortons.
 
"I have completely liquidated the assets of the Mortons. Except for the pre-marital assets owned by Viscount Morton’s partner before marrying him, all the assets under their names belong to the joint assets of the Mortons. After all their cash and estates are paid to Synthia as a compensation for loss, they still owe Synthia four hundred and thirty million.” Donald stated with a smile, the eyes behind the lens glinting.
 
"It can also be like this?!" Shu Shu looked at Donald in surprise. Although Viscount Morton had encountered an economic crisis and owed a huge debt before marrying Synthia’s mother, but he still had a lot of valuable real estate. He thought his family could still have something left and didn’t expect that on top of being ruined to compensate for loss, he actually still had to owe Synthia money . . . .

"The Mortons have never controlled their money spending. For example, their beastman son has just bought a four-star mech a few days ago. When converting the assets, this kind of item will have a markdown. This mech is assessed at 70% of the purchase price and will depreciate a lot." Donald explained, chuckling.
 
Not to mention that the value of the mech would depreciate only a few days after buying it, it was even valued at 70% of the purchase price when assessed. Other things should also be handled according to this procedure, right? No wonder Viscount Morton, to compensate for a loss, in the end still had to owe Synthia so much money in addition to using up his family’s assets. Shu Shu, hearing Donald's words, immediately look at Donald worshipingly—he admired this kind of man the most!
 
"You’re really amazing!" Shu Shu praised Donald.
 
Synthia was also a little stupid. After following his mother to live in the official residence of the viscount, he always had the feeling of lodging under another person's roof. Since his mother’s death, he lived even more cautiously and quietly for fear of being driven out, so that he never knew that he actually had so much money.
 
Synthia’s eyes slowly reddened. He looked at Donald and asked with a small voice, “What kind of pre-marital assets did my mother have before marrying Viscount Morton?”

“Here is the specific list of items.” Donald passed a document to Synthia.
 
Synthia opened the document and after reading it, tears gushed out of his eyes. His mother had more than a hundred million cash in the first place. In addition to this, there were stores in the business district of the capital star, real estate and shares of several companies on a nearby planet, and a wide expanse of pasture on an agricultural planet . . . . The value of these things was even greater.
 
If he had known earlier that he had so much money . . . . Synthia’s train of thought was just about to go down that way when it came to an abrupt stop.
 
His courage was very small before. Even if he knew that his mother actually had so much money, he might not dare to do anything and was also incapable of doing anything.
 
"Your Imperial Highness, how are we going to deal with the Mortons?" Donald, turning to face Shu Shu again, asked.
 
Shu Shu did not hastily make decisions for Synthia. Hearing Donald's words, he immediately turned his head to look at Synthia.
 
Synthia finally came back to himself and, after hesitating for a long time, said, "They’ll pay for damages and give me the money that belongs to me, including the four hundred-plus million they owe me."

"Would you like them to go to prison?" Donald once again asked. Viscount Morton’s children were still young, not yet growing to adulthood, and certainly would not be sentenced to prison, but Viscount Morton and his partner had imprisoned Synthia as well as having the intention to “sell” Synthia. If the case was handled well, it could make them go to jail.
 
"Let them go . . ." Synthia said in a low voice.
 
"How can you let them go?" Shu Shu immediately frowned.
 
"They didn't do anything to me. Also, they don't have money now. Their lives will definitely be very bad." Synthia said.
 
In fact, before Viscount Morton forced him to get married, he didn’t hate Viscount Morton at all because his mother had indeed committed suicide. From his earliest memory, his mother's mental state was already very bad, and it was entirely because his mother could not accept his biological father’s death, which had nothing to do with Viscount Morton all along.
 
Viscount Morton never restricted his mother's movements at that time, but his mother very rarely did anything else except crying and always showed no interest to him as well. Later, although the reason for committing suicide was Viscount Morton’s betrayal, but according to some words his mother said when facing death, his mother simply felt that he did not owe Viscount Morton anything after he found out about Viscount Morton’s betrayal and thus would gladly kill himself so he could just die.
 
Thinking of the past affairs, Synthia began to cry again.
 
Seeing Synthia shedding tears, Shu Shu somewhat didn’t know what to do. Donald glanced at Shu Shu and then turned his head to comfort Synthia, saying, "No matter how things were in the past, you have nothing to do with the Mortons now. You should be happy."

Synthia nodded and finally wiped his tears dry, and Shu Shu also breathed a sigh of relief.
 
After Synthia made a decision, there were still many things to deal with. For example, if he was going to take over the Mortons’ assets, he had to sign countless documents. All of these could not be done without Donald and also took up a lot of time. A week passed almost in the blink of an eye.
 
Shu Shu didn't understand and didn’t want to take care of these matters at all, but even so, he still had a lot of contact with Donald and found that Donald took things seriously and was extremely knowledgeable and very outstanding.
 
When living in the cave before, Shu Shu thought that Edgar was just a snake and so would prattle on to Edgar all the time. Now that he could communicate with Edgar, he liked to talk even more. He would talk about what happened on that day, and, in the evening, he would still talk about everything regardless of its importance. In this way, he would naturally keep mentioning Donald.
 
"Donald’s really amazing. He can recite so many legal provisions from memory. Also, once he opens his mouth, he can spout off all sorts of cases . . . ." Shu Shu said with full admiration toward Donald.
 
Edgar's face was dark. Was it really appropriate to praise another beastman like this in front of his own beastman?
 
"You’re not allowed to talk about him." Edgar immediately said. He knew that he could only speak directly when communicating with Shu Shu.
 
"Why?" Shu Shu did not understand.
 
"I’m jealous!" Edgar stated without the slightest hesitation.
 
"Okay, let’s talk about Synthia then? Although his current manners and behavior are still as awkward as before and most likely can’t be changed anymore, but he’s a lot stronger now. I think the current him is very good . . . ."
 
"You’re also not allowed to talk about him." Edgar’s face was dark again.
 
"Why is this again?" Shu Shu still didn’t understand.
 
"I’m jealous!" Edgar stated once again. Not only did he have to guard against beastmen but also sub-beastmen! In fact, he felt that he needed to guard against sub-beastmen even more. After all, Shu Shu was a beastman . . . . Moreover, Shu Shu had more contacts with that Synthia than he had with Donald.
 
"Why do you love to feel jealous so much, ah!" Shu Shu hugged Edgar and smugly kissed him.
 
Edgar had always been very passionate, but this time he did not “execute Shu Shu on the spot” when Shu Shu came over to kiss him. "Wait."
 
"What’s wrong?" Shu Shu stared at Edgar somewhat resentfully. He and Edgar had not been intimate for two days!
 
"I’m worried that I’ll hurt you." Edgar put his hand on Shu Shu's belly.
 
Even now, the instrument still couldn't check what exactly was going on inside Shu Shu's stomach, and yet that tumor was already too big to be ignored.
 
The tumor was now as big as Shu Shu’s two fists and made Shu Shu’s belly stuck out. Touching it, Edgar could feel a very hard object with his hand.
 
Feeling the tactile sensation under his hand, Edgar's face was very ugly. What the hell was going on with Shu Shu?
 
His eyes were full of worry, but after a while, they showed a firm expression.
 
He definitely wouldn’t let anything happen to Shu Shu!
 
"Don't worry. Am I not well? Jones has already checked. The tumor in my stomach hasn’t hurt my body. I currently have no problem at all, and my appetite is much better than before." Shu Shu said. He didn't know whether it was to supply nutrition to the tumor inside his body or not, but his appetite was getting better and better recently.
 
"You . . ." Edgar took a deep breath and finally said, "Once that Synthia’s business is done, let Jones do an operation on you. I’ll personally watch him!"

Stroking his own belly, Shu Shu didn’t know why he was somewhat reluctant, but he still nodded. Afterwards, he wrapped round Edgar and started to rub against Edgar’s body.
 
Edgar’s eyes were blazing, and he couldn’t restrain himself in the end. He pressed Shu Shu down, but his movements were gentler and softer than ever for fear of hurting Shu Shu.
 
Shu Shu was not hurt at all. After it was over, he even slept soundly and started to snore. Edgar, however, could not fall asleep.
 
Putting his hand on Shu Shu's belly, Edgar didn't sleep for a night. As the dawn came, he cultivated for a while and then kissed Shu Shu before going to the military department.
 
These days, he had been investigating the matters of him being framed and injured by some people at that time, and now his investigation already began to take shape.
 
After arriving at the military department, someone soon delivered the interrogation reports obtained last night to Edgar.
 
It should be the same group of people who tampered with his mech, caused trouble to him until he had no choice but to self-detonate his beast core, destroyed the reputation of the Imperial family in the capital star, and also created a disturbance on a private planet of the Imperial family. And he finally caught some subordinates of these people not long ago.
 
Although the Imperial family no longer wielded political power nowadays, but they still had enough power to investigate these matters!
 
Edgar hadn't gone and read those reports yet, and his communication device rang. His father, Chris, was looking for him.
 
"Father." Opening the communication device, Edgar called.
 
"Have you investigated the trails?" Chris asked, getting right to the point.
 
"Yes, I have." Edgar admitted.
 
"I’ve also investigated some of the trails." Chris' expression was somewhat solemn.
 
Both father and son gave each other a quick look through the screen of the communication device, and then Edgar abruptly said, "Father, I’m coming to find you."
 
Chris nodded.
 
When Edgar and Chris met, Shu Shu and Synthia were eating with Donald.
 
The Mortons had been released. However, they definitely wouldn’t have an easy life in the future since they had no money nor title nowadays and yet were accustomed to an extravagant lifestyle. Meanwhile, there were already a huge amount of assets under Synthia’s name.
 
A few days ago, Shu Shu had taken Synthia to live in the Imperial palace, but now that the matters had been resolved, Synthia would naturally move out. Today was the day when Synthia moved away.
 
After the dust had settled, this sub-beastman who suddenly became a millionaire invited Shu Shu and Donald to eat together.
 
After Shu Shu reported to Ian that he was going to eat at the Imperial Plaza,  he and Synthia took an aircraft together to go there. And when they arrived at that place, Donald was already waiting there.
 
Donald looked very stunning. He didn't wear glasses today and was even more handsome, making people couldn't move their line of sight. Synthia only gave him a glance and then blushed and lowered his head.
 
Shu Shu’s reaction was completely the opposite of Synthia’s. He opened his eyes wide and looked him up and down several times, and he even sighed in admiration, praising, “You look very handsome today!”

“Do I? Then, do you like my current appearance, Shu Shu?" Donald gazed at Shu Shu tenderly.
 
Shu Shu was being unnaturally stared at by Donald. Donald was looking at him the same way as Edgar looked at him, but when Edgar looked at him with this kind of gaze, it made him very happy and want to nibble on Edgar’s mouth. In contrast, when Donald looked at him with this kind of gaze, it made him feel strange and even gave him the willies.
 
Synthia too vaguely felt it was a little fishy and finally spoke softly, "Shall we order now?"
 
"I’ve never been to the Imperial Plaza to eat. I don't know what to order here. You should order first." Donald said, his sight set on Shu Shu.
 
Shu Shu wrinkled his brows, and then Donald’s communication device suddenly rang right at this moment.
 
Donald gave an apologetic glance to Shu Shu and Synthia before taking out his communication device to take a look.
 
If Shu Shu could see the content on Donald’s communication device, he would find that it displayed a string of garbled text.
 
Of course, this kind of garbled text actually made sense in Donald's eyes:
 
"The situation is urgent. Control the target and strive your hardest to divert everyone's line of sight!"
 
After the first message, the second one quickly arrived:
 
"Give him the beast bead to eat!"
