66. Someone Wants to do a Kidnapping


The news of Shu Shu giving birth to an egg and Jonathan conspiring to murder Edgar broke out, so Edgar naturally had many things to be busy with. After accompanying Shu Shu for a whole night, he did not have much time to stay beside Shu Shu on the next day. He finally came back when it was very late at night. 
 
As an old daemon who could change into a human form, Shu Shu was actually able to not sleep at all, but he was used to sleeping every day and for a very long time, too . . . . When Edgar returned, he had already fallen asleep long ago.
 
Looking at Shu Shu who sank into the soft big bed, Edgar felt his heart melt. After kissing Shu Shu’s cheek once and then kissing his own egg a few times, he quietly went to the bathroom to wash himself clean and then lay down beside Shu Shu.
 
As soon as he lay down, Shu Shu rolled into his arms and chose a comfortable position, nestling up. Edgar chuckled and kissed him on the head, heart warm.
 
This was his spouse.
 
The next day when Edgar woke up, Shu Shu was still not awake. He softly and quietly climbed out of the bed just like in the past.
 
"Bring the child for me to hug." Shu Shu slept very well last night, so when he felt some movements beside him, he lifted his eyelids and spoke.
 
The temperature inside the incubator was the most suitable for the newborn eggs to stay in, but the Empire Parenting Organization always called on everyone to have close contact with the egg for a period of time every day. Therefore, everyone would not let the child stay in the incubator all day long.
 
Edgar took the egg out of the incubator, injected some spiritual power into it, and then put it into Shu Shu’s arms.
 
Shu Shu held the egg in his arms, closed his eyes, and slept again.
 
Edgar lowered his head and gave Shu Shu and the egg a kiss each before turning round and leaving for work.
 
Shu Shu only got up when the sun was already high in the sky. He held the egg while injecting some spiritual power into it and went downstairs. He just reached the living room when he saw Ian and Jones sitting on the sofa and talking.
 
"Why don't you sleep for a while longer?" Seeing Shu Shu, Ian immediately spoke and also reached out to the egg held in Shu Shu's arms. "Isn’t it quite heavy? Let me hold it."
 
"It’s not heavy at all. It’s especially light." Shu Shu said. This egg only weighed four or five pounds; such a little bit of weight was completely nothing for him.
 
"Even if you feel it’s not heavy, you also have to be careful. A sub-beastman who just gave birth to a child needs to rest well." Ian said. He originally wanted to explain some methods of nursing a postpartum sub-beastman back to health, but seeing Shu Shu’s vigorous appearance, he suddenly felt that the nursing methods he knew were perhaps of no use to Shu Shu . . . .
 
Yesterday, he had specifically sought the doctor to dispense some medicine. He wanted to give it to Shu Shu for treating the lacerations caused by childbirth. As a result, Shu Shu said that he had no wounds on his body at all . . . .
 
"I’m already one hundred percent fine." Shu Shu said while passing the egg on his hand to Ian. Ian stared at the egg in his arms with a burning gaze; it was estimated that he wanted to hug the egg very much.
 
Ian indeed wanted to hold the egg very much. Sub-beastmen usually wouldn’t let people they were not familiar with see their eggs. Except for Edgar, he had never held any other eggs!
 
Thinking of Edgar, Ian immediately said to Shu Shu, "Shu Shu, I’ve a lot of photos of newborn Edgar. Do you want to see them?"
 
"I do!" Shu Shu replied at once.
 
Ian smiled at Shu Shu and quickly took out his communication device. After that, he searched out Edgar's childhood photos and showed them to Shu Shu.
 
Edgar was born in the hospital, so the photos at the beginning were all in the hospital. On the hospital bed, Ian looked a bit wan and sallow, but his smile was brilliant, and he was holding an egg, Edgar, in his arms.
 
That egg was not like the one Shu Shu had given birth to, but the difference was not big; after all, they were both eggs.
 
At the beginning, the egg only got its pictures taken. Later on, the egg started to have videos.
 
Shu Shu clicked one of the videos. The video initially just showed an egg lying quietly in the incubator. After a while, the egg suddenly moved and even turned its own body over.
 
"Ah!" Shu Shu was pleasantly surprised as he watched the video. It was obviously just an egg, but he thought it looked very, very cute!
 
"There’s also the video of Edgar hatching." Ian smiled and clicked on another video.
 
In the video, the egg swayed violently for a long time, and then a crack suddenly appeared on it. After another very long time, the crack finally became a little bit bigger.
 
This video was very long. After watching it for an entire hour, only a very small hole appeared on the egg, but Shu Shu unexpectedly enjoyed watching it and was not the least impatient.
 
His egg later would also give birth to a new life like this, right?
 
Shu Shu watched the video attentively and suddenly saw a snake that was as thick as two fingers together climb out of the eggshell.
 
". . ." Shu Shu had a sensation of his prior expectation and love disappearing in a flash.
 
Why was it the snake he disliked the most that came out of the egg?
 
How did he find a snake as a partner?
 
However, although he disliked snake, but he still liked Edgar very much . . . .
 
"Edgar at that time was cute, right?" Ian turned his head to look at Shu Shu.
 
Shu Shu shook his head. Although he would not go so far as to get scared just by watching a video now, but he really didn’t think that this snake was cute at all!
 
"Well . . . I also think he’s quite ugly." Ian said and directly moved on to show Shu Shu the photos taken when Edgar changed into a human form.
 
Looking at the little baby on the photo who, didn't know why, seemed to be frowning, Shu Shu wanted to cuddle and kiss him.
 
Ian took out all of Edgar's childhood photos and showed them to Shu Shu. Shu Shu liked the photos and videos of baby or toddler Edgar the most. As for the way Edgar looked when he changed into a snake form . . . there were a few of such snake photos, and he also liked them.
 
For example, in one of the videos, Chris, as a father, grabbed Edgar and tied him into two knots. Edgar could only turned and twisted with difficulty and finally untied himself after quite a while. Shu Shu thought it was very interesting . . . . He really wanted to try doing what Chris did himself!
 
After looking at the photos and videos for a long time, the three people were all hungry. Ian immediately called the chef and had him bring some food over.
 
Shu Shu had just given birth to a child, so the kitchen had prepared a lot of ingredients and already stewed some soups . . . . The chef assented and started to get busy. After half an hour, seven or eight robots brought the food to them.
 
Every robot held a food box on each hand. They placed the food boxes on the dining table and then started to take out plate after plate of dishes from the food boxes.
 
So many dishes! So fragrant! Shu Shu, seeing so many dishes being placed in front of him, could not help but drool and quickly scuttled over.
 
Seeing this scene, Ian couldn't help but smile.
 
After Shu Shu had practiced in the virtual cabin for quite a long time, as long as he was willing, he could quickly put on airs. In normal times, however, he was still forthright . . . . Of course, Ian did not dislike this one bit; on the contrary, he rather liked it.
 
Old people like them liked energetic children.
 
Holding the egg, Ian and Jones also came to the dining table.
 
They just reached the dining table when a few robots that had brought the dishes suddenly moved and emitted some smoke from their bodies.
 
The smoke puffed toward Shu Shu, Ian, and Jones's face. The three people were caught off guard, and everyone inhaled a lot of smoke in the end.
 
Ian was the focus of the "care". His physical fitness was the worst among the three. He just inhaled the gas, and he immediately became dizzy and collapsed to the floor. In that moment, besides protecting the child in his arms, he could not manage anything else.
 
Although Jones had some experience living in the military camp and his physical fitness was pretty good, but he was a sub-beastman after all. After grabbing hold of the table, he also went down to the floor and could not make any more movements either. As for Shu Shu . . . .
 
Shu Shu had plenty of escape experience but very, very few combat experience and was also very lacking in alertness. As a result, he too inhaled the smoke that should not be inhaled. It could be said that he was currently still able to be clear headed entirely because of the spiritual power in his body.
 
With the dizzying situation before his eyes, Shu Shu had an urge to lie down and sleep, but he knew that he could not sleep.
 
Operating his spiritual power with great effort, Shu Shu did not hesitate to approach and kick one of the robots. He kicked the robot in the stomach hard.
 
Getting a kick from him, the robot fell back a few steps, and a footprint appeared on its steel stomach. It seemed to want to attack Shu Shu, but after a loud crackle, the robot unexpectedly stopped moving.
 
Shu Shu brushed aside this robot and immediately charged into the next one. He reached out with one hand to grab Ian while sending a kick to the robot. He managed to kick this one but failed to guard against the other robots. In the end, he was actually hit by another robot in the stomach. Staggering back a few steps, he fell on the floor.
 
The stomach that suddenly hurt woke Shu Shu up somewhat, and it was because of this that he saw the current scene—Ian and Jones were already shackled by the robots, and another robot was going to grab the egg from Ian’s hand. 

Shu Shu was shocked and immediately jumped up and rushed toward those robots, but he was blocked once again—the two robots that had been kicked away by him suddenly lunged at him. These two robots were already broken, but their hands could still move and actually caught hold of Shu Shu's legs.
 
"Bastard." Shu Shu was dizzy from the pain in his stomach, but he kept struggling with all his might.
 
"You actually have some skill." While Shu Shu was struggling, a voice suddenly rang out.
 
Shu Shu kicked away one of the robots and raised his head to look at the arrival only to see Jonathan standing not far away.
 
Jonathan previously looked more exquisite and more splendid than Myer, but now he looked like he was in a difficult situation, and his expression was also gloomy.
 
"It's you!" Shu Shu remembered what Edgar had said about Jonathan wanting to harm Edgar. For a moment, he hated Jonathan so much. Raising his hand, he hurled a ball of spiritual power toward Jonathan.
 
It was a pity that he was in the middle of having a dizzy spell and completely failed to take aim at the target accurately. That ball of spiritual power actually flew clear over Jonathan's head and ultimately smashed a hole in the wall behind Jonathan without injuring Jonathan at all.
 
Shu Shu, seeing this scene, wanted to charge at Jonathan, but a robot once again came over and entangled him . . . .
 
Jonathan glanced at Shu Shu, his expression ugly, and then he ran out without looking back.
 
He originally wanted to capture all the people here, but Shu Shu was truly too troublesome, so he could only give up.
 
Seeing Jonathan running out, the robots followed him and started running out as well. They all finally stopped at the open space in front of the house used for parking the aircraft.
 
After coming to a stop, Jonathan turned toward the house where Edgar lived, his face showing an ice-cold smile. He didn’t capture that Shu Shu, and for Shu Shu, it was definitely not a good thing at all.
 
The sound of a violent explosion suddenly filled the air.
 
The robot that was blocking Shu Shu’s path and the robots that had been ruined by Shu Shu unexpectedly exploded together!
 
Shu Shu was in the center of the explosion, and no one could see his situation. At the same time, the alarm sounded through the entire imperial palace and even the entire capital star.
 
The imperial palace was attacked!
 
The guards in the vicinity of the imperial palace arrived in a very short time. After seeing the situation here, all their expressions changed greatly.
 
The place where the crown prince lived was actually blown up! The wanted criminal Jonathan also seized the empress and the empress' friend as well as the little prince who had not hatched yet!
 
"You had better not come over. I have explosives on my body. If you come over, I’ll take them down with me." Staring at the guards in front of him, Jonathan showed a rather strange smile.
 
"Jonathan, what do you think you’re doing?!" Someone among the guards shouted. The one who shouted was a beastman who was about the same age as Jonathan. He once had been secretly in love with Jonathan in his youth. When he saw the news about Jonathan conspiring to murder the crown prince, he thought it was untrue, and that someone had framed Jonathan. He didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly.
 
Jonathan’s current appearance was very frightful. His impression of Jonathan was a sub-beastman who was magnificent and unmatched in his generation. When did Jonathan become like this?
 
"Make Chris come here." Jonathan got his hands on Ian while watching the guards opposite.
 
"I’m coming!" Chris' voice rang out, and at the same time, two aircrafts suddenly appeared in front of Jonathan. The two aircrafts had not stopped completely, and Chris and Edgar already jumped down from the aircrafts.
 
They had put some devices on Ian and Shu Shu as well as in the house to monitor abnormal situation. So when Ian and Shu Shu were sneak-attacked, they discovered it immediately. However, even if they found out about it, and even if they used the fastest speed to rush over, it seemed that they were too late.
 
"Why did you take him?" Chris clenched his fist tightly and fixed his whole attention on Jonathan.
 
"What about Shu Shu?" Edgar's clenched fist tightened even more. Although Ian was unconscious, but at least he was still in front of them. Where was Shu Shu? Where did Shu Shu go?
 
"The crown princess . . . . I guess he’s become a mass of ground meat now?" Jonathan looked at Edgar and began to laugh, revealing his snow white teeth.
 
Edgar's pupils abruptly became vertical snake-like pupils, and his whole body stiffened for a second. Then he immediately rushed straight toward the blown up house.
 
"His Imperial Highness!" Some beastmen wanted to catch up with him, but they were thrown away by a gale that Edgar conjured. Realizing that Edgar obviously didn’t want anyone to follow him and that saving the crown princess did not need too many people, those beastmen no longer kept up with him and eventually stopped far away.
 
Jonathan gave a gurgle of laughter and turned toward Chris. "I’ve put explosives on each of these robots. You had better be a little careful now. Don't provoke me, or else there’ll be more people turning into ground meat."
 
Chris' expression became very ugly. He clenched his teeth and said, "You’ve been hiding in the imperial palace for two days?" He had dispatched quite a lot of people to hunt down Jonathan. He didn't expect that Jonathan actually stayed under his very eyes . . . .
 
"I was indeed here, ah. Here’s my home.” Jonathan’s gaze was firmly locked on Chris’ face.
 
"This place isn’t your home, and I also don't have a younger brother like you!" Chris coldly stated.
 
Staring at Chris, Jonathan’s expression became cold as well. He grabbed Ian's neck with one arm and abruptly tightened up his hold. In addition, his fingernails squeezed into Ian's flesh so much so that they cut open Ian’s skin.
 
"Let go of your hold!" Chris was horrified. "Release him! Jonathan, you let them go. I’ll definitely treat you with leniency."
 
"Do you like him?" Jonathan's expression became very ugly.
 
Chris frowned. Of course he liked Ian; Ian was his spouse!
 
"Why would you like him? Why would you like this despicable guy?" Jonathan stared at Chris, anger across his whole face.
 
"It’s you who are a despicable guy!" Chris countered straight away.
 
Jonathan’s gaze flashed, and right at this instant, an anesthetic needle shot towards Jonathan’s body . . . .
 
The tip of the needle that was going to prick Jonathan's neck abruptly stopped, and then the needle fell to the ground. It turned out that Jonathan had opened his personal protective cover.
 
This needle obviously startled Jonathan. He turned his head and glanced at the anesthetic needle that had fallen to the ground and then turned to face Chris again. "You get me a private spaceship, that latest model of spaceship with so-called unrivaled speed which you bought last year."
 
Chris had not yet answered, and Jonathan suddenly took out a knife and slashed the arm of unconscious Jones. "You better hurry. Otherwise, I’ll use the knife on your empress’ body next."
 
Chris' complexion was deathly pale, and his gaze toward Jonathan was full of loathing. Jonathan noticed this look and was instantly inflamed.
 
It shouldn't be like this; Chris should like him instead of loathing him. It’s all because of Ian! He had to kill him!
 
Jonathan’s expression became extremely ugly, while Chris couldn’t help but roar, “If you dare to hurt them, I’ll never let Mund and Calvin off!”
 
The flame in Jonathan’s eyes went out. Sneering, he stressed his point once again, "If the spaceship doesn’t appear in front of me in five minutes, I’ll chop off one of his hands."
 
Jonathan nudged Ian's arm as he said so.
 
In the past two days, he had actually been hiding in the imperial palace.
 
He grew up in the imperial palace from childhood and was very familiar with the place. In the past, he was able to enter and leave the imperial palace freely, and so he secretly dug himself a hideout basement in the imperial palace. Hiding himself there, especially with the help of the imperial palace's defense system, it was guaranteed that no one could find and get him.
 
In addition to this, he also tampered with some of the robots in the imperial palace.
 
He had always been considered to be more outstanding than Myer. Myer was already a mech master in his young age; he naturally wasn’t inferior than Myer. In some fields such as robot modification and robot control, he was one of the very best in the Beastman Empire.
 
When he stayed in the imperial palace a few days ago, he controlled some of the robots in the imperial palace and even loaded up their bodies with explosives.
 
At that time, he was just guarding against the unexpected. He did not expect them to be really useful now.
 
When Jonathan and Chris confronted each other, Edgar was looking for Shu Shu.
 
Probably to avoid being discovered, Jonathan did not load the robots’ bodies with too many explosives. The house was not entirely blown up, but the living room was already blasted beyond recognition into a pile of ruins. The floor between the living room and the second floor was also blown up.
 
Edgar smelled Shu Shu’s scent here but did not see Shu Shu crawling out of the ruins.
 
His hands could not stop shaking, and he suddenly turned into his original form.
 
The huge jiāo lóng squatted in the living room, and two of its claws quickly clear away all kinds of detritus . . . . Edgar almost frantically began to search for Shu Shu.
 
Suddenly, there was some tiny rustling noise.
 
Edgar was stunned, one claw unconsciously let go of a piece of ruin, and then he looked under the ruin with both apprehension and joy.
 
Just under the ruins he had swept away, there was a very small hole, and on the bottom of the hole, a little hamster that was no bigger than an egg lay curled up into a ball.
 
The fur on the little hamster’s face was scorched, its eyes closed, and its curled up body quivered. It looked extremely pitiful, but at least it was alive.
 
Edgar held the little hamster with his claws and injected his own spiritual power into the hamster’s body without the slightest hesitation.
 
Once a great amount of spiritual power rushed forth into Shu Shu’s body, he eventually woke up.
 
Shu Shu continued to circulate his spiritual power, so that the incapacitating agent would only make him feel uncomfortable but no longer make him confused and disoriented. As for the wounds . . . .
 
The previous explosion was quite powerful, but at most it was about the same as the lightning tribulation which Shu Shu had encountered alone. When the robots exploded, he immediately changed into his original form and used the spiritual power to protect himself. Therefore, the injuries he suffered were not serious at all. Now that there was Edgar who was injecting him with spiritual power, he had more or less recovered.
 
After waking up, Shu Shu promptly turned back into a human. He still had a lot of wounds on his body, but he couldn’t care less for himself. Cradling his head, he said, "The child! The child was snatched!"
 
The huge jiāo lóng nodded, "I know. We’ll go save them." Daemons that had cultivated into jīndān stage could become humans. Naturally, they could open their mouths and speak. It was just that, in the end, the structure of animal was different from that of human being, so this speaking was actually using the spiritual power to vibrate the air and produce a sound. It was also considered to be a gate to enlightenment which you needed to hone before you could use it.
 
Edgar had honed and mastered it. Shu Shu, however, was not too proficient at it.
 
"What are we going to do?" Shu Shu asked. How would they save them?
 
"Become smaller!" Edgar took a quick look at the situation outside and concealed the distress in his eyes.
 
Chris feared that Jonathan would hurt Ian, so he quickly had people bring his private spaceship over. And now, Jonathan was ready to board the spaceship.
 
Become smaller? Shu Shu glanced at Edgar and immediately realized that Edgar, in all likelihood, would use his former method of catching those star pirates, stealthily going up and hiding himself in the spaceship. Shu Shu quickly changed into his original form and then, with some difficulty, controlled his spiritual power to make himself even smaller. After that, he rushed straight toward the spaceship. At the same time, Edgar also made himself smaller and followed Shu Shu.



TL's notes:
jiāo lóng = legendary dragon with the ability to control rain and floods

65. It’s Time to Do Prenatal Education


Shu Shu felt his stomach hurt, and there was even a feeling of being split open, especially in the back. Fortunately, although it hurt, but he could still endure it, and because something finally came out, he also felt much more relaxed. 
 
However, although he felt relaxed, he felt ashamed as well . . . . He actually relieved himself while being held by Edgar. Furthermore, it seemed like some fluid fell on Edgar’s body . . . .
 
Wait a minute, this situation of his seemed to be a bit wrong . . . .
 
"What the heck happened to me?" Shu Shu couldn't help but ask. It appeared that his condition was very different from having the common diarrhea?
 
"You . . . gave birth to an egg." Edgar were just being intimate with Shu Shu a moment ago, and the body was still bare. Now his body and the bed were covered with mucus, and the whole person looked very discomfited.
 
However, he simply couldn't deal with these things. All his attention was fixed on the egg, and his hands, which were always steady, couldn't help but start to shake.
 
This was the egg born of Shu Shu. Shu Shu gave birth to an egg for him!
 
This was his child!
 
It was not that long since he knew that he had a child, and now the child was actually born . . . .
 
Everything came without warning. Edgar simply didn’t know what kind of expression he should have. For a time, the whole person was stiff.
 
"It’s born that fast? It's so easy!" Shu Shu also saw the egg at this moment and was pleasantly surprised somewhat. He thought he would suffer pain for a long, long time just like a woman did when giving birth to a child. He didn't expect that his delivery would be so fast. If it was just like this, then it didn't matter if he gave birth to a few more, ah!
 
"Yeah." Edgar nodded, expressing his approval. It was really very fast and completely different from what he had imagined. It usually took a few hours for a sub-beastman to deliver the egg, ah. Many sub-beastmen even had a Caesarean section delivery.
 
And Shu Shu? When they were in the middle of doing it, he said that he was going to have diarrhea, and then he gave birth to the child in a flash!
 
Wait, in the middle of doing it? Would such a thing corrupt the child?
 
Edgar showed a stupid expression, and when Shu Shu saw him like this, he gave him a kick. "My butt hurt!" His rear was very painful, and by looking at the wisps of blood coating the egg, he knew that his rear had definitely split! It was strange that Edgar did not continue giving him the spiritual power!

Shu Shu was naked from head to foot, but at this moment, Edgar, seeing said body, was without any notion and only felt distressed—Shu Shu was bleeding!
 
It was all his fault. He actually let Shu Shu give birth to the child at home and forgot to give him the spiritual power afterwards . . . .
 
Edgar immediately inputted his spiritual power into Shu Shu. With the nourishment of the spiritual power, Shu Shu’s lacerations from "having diarrhea" became good right away. After Shu Shu did not hurt anymore, he finally had time to go see the egg he gave birth to.
 
The egg Shu Shu birthed out was not big at all; it could even be said that it was a little small. It was as big as his two fists together, and it was not round but a little pointed instead.
 
But even so, this egg was already quite big . . . .
 
"I’m actually so amazing and could birth out such a big egg. Compared to the egg, your dick’s a little small." Shu Shu looked at the egg a little ruefully and then looked at Edgar again.
 
Edgar: ". . ."


"Unfortunately, mine’s even smaller . . . ai . . ." Shu Shu once again showed a disappointed look while thinking of another thing. "Can you bathe this egg?" On top of being bloodstained, it was also covered with mucus. Although it looked very nice, but it was really quite dirty . . . . Right, he and Edgar had to take a bath too.

"You can't bathe it. I’ll wipe it clean!" Edgar immediately said. Shu Shu was inexperienced and did not know how to take care of the egg. He, however, knew that a recently born egg certainly couldn’t be bathed.

Ordering 006 to go find something to wipe the egg, Edgar very carefully picked up the egg on the bed . . . . The feeling of blood connection completely made him feel that the egg in his arms was the cutest and the prettiest egg in this world. He could not help but kiss it a few times.
 
Seeing Edgar's actions, Shu Shu  widened his eyes in surprise and ultimately couldn't help but say, "You kissed the egg, so don't come to kiss me again." Considering that the egg was currently very dirty!

Edgar: ". . ." Did you dislike your own child so much?
 
006 soon brought a clean plain white cloth. At this time, Edgar had cleaned up the room and given himself a simple wash.

Gently wiping the mucus off the egg, the true color of the egg was slowly  revealed.
 
It was a white egg, and there was nothing extraordinary with its appearance, but when Edgar looked at it, it was with a rather infatuated gaze. He grew this big, and this was the first time he saw such a pretty egg . . . .
 
"Why’s the egg so pointed at both ends? It looks weird." Shu Shu couldn't help saying.
 
Edgar originally wanted to agree with Shu Shu, but this was his egg . . . . Edgar hated to speak bad of his own egg, so he immediately replied, "All eggs are like this. This one’s already very pretty."

"Compared with chicken eggs, it looks different." Shu Shu knitted his brows and then hugged the egg.
 
This egg gave him a very intimate feeling, and thus Shu Shu inevitably had a favorable impression on the egg, so much so that he was very reluctant to put it down.
 
Residing inside this egg was his child, a child whom he had longed for for hundreds of years! He had to raise him well later!
 
Of course, before that, he still had other thing that needed to be done. "I’m hungry." 

The sky was already dark, but Shu Shu was hungry and wanted to eat, so of course Edgar could not let him starve!
 
Edgar immediately gave the chef in the Imperial palace a call and had him prepare a meal.
 
"Yes, Your Imperial Highness, I’ll do it right away." The chef promptly replied. He had been working in the Imperial palace for a long time, and this was the first time he was ordered to cook in the middle of the night, so he had to perform well.
 
The meal this time should be prepared for the crown princess who was pregnant with a child, right? He had to cook all the fine food that the crown princess liked and then serve them to the crown princess.
 
While Mr. Chef rolled up his sleeves and planned to fully displaying his capabilities, Edgar gave Chris and Ian a call.
 
Chris and Ian suddenly found out that they had a grandson. They had been too excited that they couldn’t sleep, so they simply huddled together and talked. Talking and talking, and then they were kissing and embracing each other . . . .
 
As a result, just when they were at that critical juncture, the communication device suddenly rang, and it was Ian’s personal communication device.
 
"This ringtone . . . It's Edgar’s. Edgar suddenly called in the middle of the night. It won’t be because Shu Shu has encountered some problems, right?" Ian began to worry. Pushing Chris away, he sat up.
 
Chris' face was dark. "Without rhyme or reason, there’s something the matter? It totally can’t be childbirth."
 
Ian simply ignored Chris and put through the call directly. Of course, he turned off the video on his own side—he and Chris were still naked!
 
"Edgar, what happened? Is there any problem?" Ian asked worriedly.
 
"Mother, Shu Shu has given birth." Edgar said.
 
"What’re you talking about?" Ian felt he had misheard Edgar’s words.
 
"Shu Shu has given birth! He has given birth to an egg!" Edgar's voice was full of excitement.
 
Ian jumped out of the bed at once. He pushed away Chris, who tried to stick to him again, and hurriedly stood up to get dressed.
 
His grandson was born! At this moment, who still had time to pay attention to Chris, this old man, ah!
 
Chris’ face darkened after discovering that his own partner’s sight was not focused on him. He could only got up sullenly and began to get dressed as well. "How come he gave birth so fast?" Doing such a thing in the middle of the night, was it not disturbing other people's nightlife?

"It's indeed a bit fast . . ." Ian continued, "Hamsters reproduce very fast and can produce two litters a month. Maybe because Shu Shu has hamster genes, so he gave birth very fast."
 
"Ai, with Shu Shu having a child, I originally wanted to buy a few things for the baby to use as well as an incubator. It’s all your fault for bothering me, so that I haven’t bought anything in the end!” Ian put on his clothes and gave Chris a brief glare.
 
In ordinary beastman family, when the child was born, the parents would prepare a lot of things for him. As a result, when their Imperial family’s little prince was born, he actually wasn’t bought anything at all . . . . Ian felt that his darling grandson was a bit pitiful.
 
As Ian and Chris rushed to the building where Edgar lived at the fastest speed, Edgar put the egg on the bed and then took its photo and uploaded it online. "The child was born."
 
On the star network, the netizens were still talking about the crown prince  deleting his own post because of the crown princess’ comment. While they were discussing whether the crown prince was a henpecked male or not, they discovered that the crown prince had made another post.
 
The child was born? You’re joking, right? How could it be so fast?
 
Generally, when a sub-beastman gave birth to his first child, it would take seven or eight hours, ah. How come the crown princess suddenly gave birth when he was still online not long ago? Moreover, although the crown princess’ belly stuck out, but it was actually not big at all. On the contrary, it was a little small . . . . How could he gave birth when it looked like he was only two-month pregnant, ah?!
 
The most important point was, how could someone give birth to a child at home and then casually put him on the bed? The Imperial family, with great difficulty, finally got a little prince; why wouldn’t they use the best incubator in the entire Beastman Empire?
 
"Your Imperial Highness, you can make a joke, too?"
 
"Your Imperial Highness, did you get laughed at too much by us and want to deceive us now?"
 
"Your Imperial Highness, your home bed sheet is very nice!"
 
"I think it should be the crown princess who posts the picture!"

. . . . . .

Various kinds of comments sprung up on Edgar's personal homepage. When people still considered this egg as fake, the Imperial family suddenly issued a formal photo of the entire family.
 
The emperor, the empress, the crown prince, the crown princess, and an egg took a photo together. The photo was published on the Imperial family’s personal homepage, and it was stated that the Imperial family had added a son to the family.
 
“……”

“……”

“……”

The crown princess unexpectedly really gave birth to a child!
 
Their crown princess’ pregnancy was sudden, and the childbirth was even more sudden!
 
There were so many things happened today, ah!
 
"I won’t be able to sleep tonight. How can I fall asleep when I’m so excited this late at night?"
 
"It obviously has nothing to do with me, but I actually can’t help feeling excited!"
 
"The Imperial family has a little prince. The crown princess is so young and already gave birth to a child for the crown prince. Can he still give birth to a few more in the future?"
 
"It’d be great if the child’s a sub-beastman. He must be very cute."
 
. . . . . .

There were blessings everywhere on the Internet. Many shops even directly offered 20% discount on the whole merchandise to celebrate the sudden birth of the little prince.
 
Some restaurants that already closed for the night reopened. "Are you hungry? To celebrate the birth of the little prince, all takeouts from this store are free of delivery charge!"

It was obviously already late at night, but the entire capital star suddenly became lively.
 
Jones also saw the news on the Internet and did not hesitate to turn round and got onto the aircraft.
 
Shu Shu was clearly pregnant, yet he actually didn’t see it, so he naturally felt guilty. He originally intended to go apologize and make amends tomorrow. As a result . . . Shu Shu already gave birth tonight?
 
Jones lived in the Imperial palace since he began teaching Shu Shu medical expertise, so it didn't take long for him to arrive at Edgar's residence. And at this time, Shu Shu was eating.
 
He had eaten a lot before, but he was hungry again after giving birth to the child, and thus his appetite was very big right now. Ian, who was standing on the side and watching him eat, felt a bit at a loss.
 
Generally, sub-beastmen who had just given birth would only drink some soup or decoction of medicinal herbs and nothing more. In any case, they had to do that for a week before they could eat and drink as much as they liked. Was it really no problem for Shu Shu to ate so much after he had just given birth?
 
"Mother, what's wrong?" Shu Shu, realizing that Ian had been staring at him, asked in confusion.
 
"Shu Shu, is there any part of you that feels uncomfortable?" Ian asked worriedly.
 
"No." Shu Shu shook his head. Every little bit of spiritual power that Edgar got was swiftly given to him. The lacerations on his body from childbirth were already healed.
 
Shu Shu's complexion was ruddy, and his appetite was very good. It seemed that he really didn’t have any problem at all. Ian reached out with his hand and stroked Shu Shu’s hair. "Shu Shu’s really amazing! It’s absolutely Edgar’s good luck to be able to marry you."

"I also think so." Shu Shu nodded seriously.
 
"Mother, don't grope him." Edgar stopped Ian's hand.
 
"We’re both sub-beastmen. Must you be so concerned?" Ian stared at his own son, speechless.
 
Edgar did not reply. Shu Shu . . . could be considered to be a beastman, ok!
 
"How’s the child?" Jones immediately asked after coming in.
 
"The child’s situation is the same as before. There’s no way to examine him with the instrument." Edgar said. Usually, after a sub-beastman’s egg was born, you could immediately check the inside with an instrument to know whether it was a beastman or a sub-beastman. However, the situation inside the egg that Shu Shu gave birth to simply couldn’t be checked.
 
"This child must be very powerful." Jones said. Then he also apologized to Shu Shu, "I'm sorry. I misdiagnosed you before." Shu Shu was obviously pregnant, but it was actually not figured out by him . . . .

"It’s all right. He’s not like an ordinary child; that’s why you’d get it wrong." Contrary to what one might expect, Shu Shu hardly cared about it. He himself did not figure out that this was actually a child, so how could he count on Jones to figure it out? "However, I’m afraid I can't go to the fallen beast planet. At least, I must wait until the child comes out before I can go." After an ordinary child was born, it would take three or four months to hatch, and the parents could leave in the interim. However, their child grew very fast and might suddenly pop out just after a few days, so he simply couldn’t rashly leave. Besides, he still had to do prenatal education!

"It's okay. They’ve been like that for so many years." Jones laughed lightly. He had been waiting for so many years; waiting a little bit longer was no problem . . . . In any case, he couldn’t force Shu Shu to accompany him to the fallen beast planet, could he?
 
Everyone was talking, and several robots suddenly began to bring in an endless stream of things to the villa where Edgar lived.

Everything that should have been prepared ahead of time before a child was born, such as an incubator and so on, was finally delivered!

The white egg was wrapped in soft cotton cloth and then put in the incubator. Edgar stared at the egg and couldn't help but start taking pictures of it.
 
How come his egg was so cute?
 
Shu Shu also liked this egg very much. Leaning forward beside the incubator, he watched his own egg. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Moving close to give it a kiss, he then took out a book and began to read a story to the egg in the incubator.
 
Before, he always missed the earth and wanted to return to it. But now, as he looked at this somewhat strange-looking egg and then glanced at Edgar, he suddenly felt that living here was also great.
 
He liked Edgar and also liked his own egg.
 
This evening, many people didn't go to sleep and went to join the festivity instead. And the biggest festivity was undoubtedly initiated by the Imperial family.
 
After Chris left Edgar and Shu Shu’s place yesterday, he started to sent out red envelopes on the star network. Not to mention that everyone could go and grab it, they could also grab a lot of money . . . .
 
Previously, thinking that he would have no offspring, Chris took out a lot of money and planned to donate it for the exploration and development of new planets. As a result, a grandson suddenly sprung up at this time . . . . He then decisively used this fund to sent out red envelopes. At the same time, he also decided to invest ten billion in Gass planet to build it into a tourist planet and connect it to the star network.
 
Gass planet, it was truly a good place.
 
"The Imperial family’s too rich. I actually grabbed a big red envelope of a thousand credits!"
 
"My luck’s not so good, but I still grabbed two hundred credits in the end!"
 
"I managed to grab more than two thousand, ha ha ha ha!"
 
"I’m not in the capital star, so the net speed isn’t good. I only grabbed tens of credits T_T."
 
. . . . . .

Everywhere on the Internet was talking about the little prince. Each and every website hung a celebration banner, and almost everyone was discussing the newborn little prince.
 
During such a nationwide festivity, another person and another matter were inevitably neglected.
 
When the crown prince was injured, it was deliberately done by someone. Later, the blackening of the crown prince’s reputation and the attack against the crown princess by Donald were also the work of this person.
 
This news had already been released, and many people had seen it. However, compared with the news of the birth of the little prince, everyone clearly didn’t attach great importance to it and only thought that this sub-beastman Jonathan was simply an unfathomable mystery.
 
"What did he want to do? If it’s in ancient times, you can still say that you want to seize the throne. What does he gain from doing such things in this era, ah?"
 
"Yeah, the good duchess is improper and actually became a wanted criminal!"
 
“Previous poster, you thought too simple. He gained something from doing such things. If the crown prince passes away, the Imperial family will have no heir . . . . Won’t it be his turn then? "
 
“Such a thought’s too horrible! ”

. . . . . .

People kept talking about it, and, looking at these arguments, Chris and Edgar’s moods were not so good.
 
"Was he caught?" Edgar asked.
 
"No, his private spaceship is very fast and well-equipped. Now that he has a mind to hide, we’re simply unable to catch him." Chris said.
 
Edgar frowned upon hearing this and asked again, "Have his subordinates who hid in the capital star been caught?"

"All have been caught." Chris nodded and then said, "The matter this time, I don't want to blow it up. I feel like I’ve wronged you."
 
"It’s fine." Edgar said.

Even though the matter of Jonathan wanting to kill him was made public, but it was not blown up. There was a reason for this—Chris didn’t want to blow the matter up and make it too ugly; after all, if it was really blown up, it would directly embarrass the Imperial family. 

Although Jonathan was a nobleman, but his parents were declining nobility. The Imperial family had raised him and educated him until he had become the most outstanding sub-beastman in the capital star and been able to marry the Duke of Mund.
 
Now, this person actually plotted against Edgar’s life . . . . If the matter was really blown up, Chris was afraid that various wild speculations would come out.
 
Chris hated him so much, but he still had to control the public opinion in the end.
 
Of course, even if the matter was not publicized, that person definitely had to be arrested. Chris even already collected a lot of criminal charges and intended to make him spend the rest of his life in prison.
 
Jonathan knew nothing at all about Chris’ thoughts.
 
As a sub-beastman who once had been even more eye-catching than Myer, Jonathan’s clothing, food, housing, and transport had always been exquisite, but now he was curling up in a very small, dark basement; his hair was a complete mess, and his clothes had not been changed for one day and one night.
 
That’s right, Jonathan did not leave the capital star, and the one who stayed aboard the leaving spaceship was just his substitute.
 
If he escaped in his private spaceship, the spaceship might be shot down inadvertently. And if he left the capital star, there would be nowhere he could go . . . . Naturally, it was impossible for him to escape like this.
 
Of course, the most important thing was that what he wanted to do had not yet been accomplished.
 
He had plotted for so many years and sacrificed so much. Now he was even burdened by the criminal charge of conspiring to murder the member of the Imperial family. He would never be able to go back to his past life in this lifetime . . . . He was already like this, but why did the people he hated still have a bright and neat life and receive people’s love and respect?
 
The anonymous communication device on his hand flashed a faint light. Looking at the photograph of the whole family posted by the Imperial family displayed on the screen of his communication device, Jonathan's gaze was cold. He ultimately took out a knife and abruptly stabbed it onto Ian's face.
 
After the communication device was pierced by the knife, it sparked and then broke. Jonathan took out another communication device and continued to read the news online.
 
Edgar’s beast was not lost at all . . . . Ian had told him that in order to entrap him and make him show his hand.
 
Jonathan knew that Ian was never as simple as he looked.
 
If it hadn't been for Ian, he wouldn't have fallen onto the current plight, and he would never have lived like this either . . . . Extending his hand, Jonathan touched Chris’ face, which was displayed on the communication device.
 
Chris definitely still had feelings for him, or else how could the news about him on the Internet get suppressed so much? If it hadn’t been for Ian, he would have been the empress now.
 
Jonathan’s eyes were filled with hatred. He was silent for a long time and finally moved.
 
Taking a bit of food out of the space button to eat, he walked to the side and then started to tap furiously on a computer.
 
He already became a wanted criminal and was doomed to have nothing at all. He absolutely wouldn’t be able to live a fugitive life, so he might as well stake everything he got.
 
Besides, if worst came to worst, he would just die, and he still could drag Ian to die with him.
 
Jonathan’s face suddenly showed a strange smile.
 
When Jonathan was tapping on a computer in the basement, Shu Shu and Edgar huddled together to give the egg the prenatal education.
 
"Baby, you definitely mustn’t grow up into a snake. If you grow up into a snake, your mother will be afraid. If your mother’s afraid, he won’t be able to hold you . . ." Shu Shu was "patiently and systematically guiding” his son.
 
Edgar felt uncomfortable.

64. Giving Birth to an Egg
 

Robot 006 soon brought a rich meal. Seeing the food, Shu Shu momentarily forgot that he might be carrying a snake in his stomach and hurriedly began to eat.
 
His appetite was growing bigger at the present moment. Before, he worried that he would make the tumor grow bigger if he ate too much, so he did not dare to eat and drink gluttonously. Now though . . . he was pregnant with a child, ah! Whether it was pregnant women or pregnant men, they all had the right to eat and eat and eat!
 
However, it seemed that you also couldn't eat too much because the child would be too big, which would make the delivery very difficult.
 
Shu Shu ate half of the food and then started to feel entangled thinking of this matter . . . .
 
"What's wrong?" Edgar watched Shu Shu anxiously. "Do you feel uncomfortable? Or is the food not suitable to your taste?"
 
"Can I have a Caesarean section?" Shu Shu turned toward Edgar.
 
"You can!" Edgar immediately replied. Although the entire capital star now believed that he was a beastman who made a mess of his physiology class, but in fact . . . even if that class did not require taking an exam, he still studied diligently.
 
Sub-beastmen could certainly have a Caesarean section, and it would not affect them at all.
 
"I feel reassured now." Shu Shu began to immerse himself in gorging himself.
 
Edgar was somewhat at a loss and didn't understand why Shu Shu suddenly brought up this subject.
 
In the meantime, Shu Shu already ate nearly everything in front of him. After his stomach was stuffed full, he suddenly remembered the dishes he had ordered at the Imperial Plaza. "Haven’t they made the dishes I ordered at the Imperial Plaza? If they have, don't waste it!"

Shu Shu looked at Edgar with an "I want to eat" expression on his face.
 
"I’ll have them deliver it!" Edgar stated without the slightest hesitation. Now he simply couldn’t wait to offer everything he had to Shu Shu.
 
Thus, countless people who had hurried to the vicinity of the Imperial Plaza to watch the bustling scene after seeing the live broadcast and even the noblemen who directly went there to have a meal saw the Imperial Plaza’s people, which always refused takeout or home delivery, go to the Imperial palace to deliver food. It was said that . . . the crown princess was hungry.
 
The food from the Imperial Plaza was very, very delicious. Although Shu Shu was already full, but after circulating his spiritual power to help digestion, he still ate a lot. As for the rest . . . it was all eaten by Edgar.
 
When Edgar finished eating, Chris and Ian came together.
 
The emperor and the empress received a very big shock today, but they had experienced great winds and waves after all, so they already calmed down now.
 
As soon as Ian entered the door, he turned toward Shu Shu and asked concernedly, "Shu Shu, are you all right?"
 
"No problem, I’m very good!" Shu Shu showed a big smile to Ian. He now knew that he was not growing a tumor, so he became relaxed and felt his vigor thoroughly restored.
 
"It’s good if you’re all right." Ian’s gaze fell on Shu Shu’s belly. After staring at Shu Shu’s belly, he wrinkled his brows and turned toward Edgar. “Shu Shu’s belly, the child looks like he’s five or six months old . . . . When did you make Shu Shu pregnant with a child?"

Five or six months ago, his son was still a fallen beast . . . . He wouldn’t have bullied Shu Shu in his beast form, right?
 
Thinking of this, Ian had an urge to rush toward his son and beat him.
 
Edgar’s line of sight met with his mother’s, and he was somewhat speechless. He truly didn’t go and bully the sub-beastman in his beast form! The child in Shu Shu’s stomach really grew too fast. If it were not for this, they also wouldn’t think that he was a tumor . . . .
 
"The child should have been conceived on the wedding night." Shu Shu answered Ian’s question, but his face was full of doubts. "But, why would I get pregnant?"
 
"Silly child, you’d get pregnant naturally because you’ve eaten the beast bead." Ian stared amusedly at Shu Shu, guessing that Shu Shu probably didn't know anything at all about this matter. He then straightforwardly turned his head and drove out his own son and partner, saying that he was going to have a conversation about sub-beastmen with Shu Shu.
 
Ian gave Shu Shu the physiology lesson that all teenagers in the Beastman Empire had to learn.
 
It turned out that the sub-beastmen in this place originally had no internal reproductive organs. Only after eating the beastman’s beast bead would they grow those organs and be able to get pregnant . . . .
 
Shu Shu completely didn’t know about this and, as it happened, ate Edgar’s beast bead . . . .
 
"Edgar was too much! He didn’t even know to tell you about these things." Ian, seeing Shu Shu’s expression of suddenly seeing the light, was full of blame toward his son.
 
"I guess he didn't expect . . ." Shu Shu replied. He began to think about the entire process of the development and at once realized that Edgar probably thought that he was a beastman and so didn't anticipate this point.
 
However . . . he was definitely not one of the beastmen of the Beastman Empire whom were not affected when eating the beast bead; he was a daemon.
 
After a daemon changed into a human form, his/her body was exactly the same as that of a human being. Because of this, some daemons could even have children with humans . . . . After he ingested the beast bead that became a womb, he would naturally be able to get pregnant.
 
Shu Shu was obviously a male hamster, but he suddenly had a baby son. He  actually felt a bit weird, but he did not feel annoyed at all. He previously thought that he was doomed to not have any children in his lifetime. Now that he could have one, it was a blessing, especially if the delivery didn’t hurt . . . . No, there was one more thing . . . .
 
"It’d be great if the baby isn’t a snake!" Shu Shu could not help saying.
 
"That’s right, it's best if you don’t give birth to a snake but a sub-beastman instead! Only when you have a sub-beastman can you feel like having a child. A snake . . ." Ian recalled how Edgar was when he was a child . . . . If it was a baby beastman, he simply didn’t need looking after, ah! It seemed like you could just casually threw him aside and let him roam around, and he would grow up already.
 
"I also prefer a sub-beastman." Shu Shu said. Sub-beastmen were the same as humans. How cute would it be if he had a human baby!
 
Both of them wanted a sub-beastman baby and immediately started to chat up a storm.
 
On the other side, Edgar and Chris were also talking, but they did not mention the child. Rather, they talked about Jonathan who had escaped.
 
According to the details they had dug out, Jonathan had begun to groom talent many, many years ago and then planted them around Edgar.
 
Although Jonathan and Chris had no blood relationship, but they grew up together from childhood, and Chris attached great importance to him. It was not difficult at all for him to do these things.

When Edgar almost died one year ago, the person who tampered with Edgar's mech was Chris’ childhood friend. Besides being Chris' good friend, said beastman was also Jonathan's admirer.
 
That mech master had been in love with Jonathan. Even if Jonathan married the Duke of Mund, he did not forget Jonathan nor marry another sub-beastman, keeping his single status all along. It was probably because of this that he listened to Jonathan’s words and made a move against Edgar. Afterwards, he even shouldered all the blame.
 
As for why the guards around Edgar didn't keep pace with Edgar at that time, it was naturally because there were Jonathan’s people there.
 
Jonathan harmed Edgar and then, probably thinking that it was not enough, ruined Edgar’s reputation in the capital star by looking for a beastman whose beast form looked very similar to Edgar’s to injure somebody while pretending as Edgar . . . .
 
And this time . . . . Chris’ eyes flashed with hatred. Ian trusted Jonathan and so told him about the matter of Edgar having no beast bead. At that time, Chris and Ian even considered that if Edgar had no children in the future, they might let Calvin’s children inherit the Imperial family’s property. And the result?
 
Jonathan knew that Edgar had no beast bead, but he, unexpectedly, was still unwilling to let Edgar off and even found Donald to seduce Shu Shu . . . . If Edgar really hadn't had the beast bead, and if they hadn't found out about Jonathan's previous deeds, and if Donald had stayed at Shu Shu’s side longer . . . .
 
Chris didn't dare to imagine the possibility of his son becoming mad should his son's partner was really snatched.
 
"No matter how I think it over, I still don't understand why he would do such things!" Mentioning Jonathan, Chris' face was very ugly.
 
His parents cherished Jonathan very much, and because Jonathan was a sub-beastman, their concern and care for Jonathan even surpassed those for him. He himself also loved this sub-beastman younger brother dearly and had never treated him unfairly.
 
And Jonathan? He actually wanted to kill his son!
 
When Chris thought of this point, he hated Jonathan’s guts.
 
"Does he have any animosity toward the Imperial family?" Edgar asked. Jonathan practically looked like he ran into a foe who had killed his father when dealing with the Imperial family!
 
"Impossible!" Chris immediately responded. "Jonathan's parents both died of illness, and he was not too young then." The Imperial family and Jonathan’s family had absolutely no hatred and desire for revenge whatsoever.

What the hell was the matter with this person then? Edgar felt rather helpless and then thought of the Duke of Mund and Calvin. "What about Calvin and his father?"
 
"Calvin shouldn’t know about this. As for Mund, I’m not clear." Chris said. Jonathan and the Duke of Mund lived on another planet, and they were the closest partner of each other. He was not sure whether the Duke of Mund knew about everything Jonathan had done or not, but Calvin should not know.
 
When they arrested Calvin, Calvin was arranging people to go to the Imperial Plaza to save Shu Shu. This Deputy Bureau Chief of the Police Department who always lived in the capital star could be said to be stunned when he was arrested.
 
"I’m going to see Calvin." Edgar said.
 
Chris nodded.
 
Seeing that Shu Shu and Ian were chatting very happily, Edgar reckoned that they were going to chat for a while. So he took the aircraft and quickly went to the prison. His aircraft had just flown halfway when it was stopped by Myer’s aircraft.
 
"Is there something the matter?" Edgar stared at Myer, frowning.
 
"Why was Calvin arrested?" Myer also stared at Edgar with a frown.
 
The previous live broadcast made him not in the mood to work. It could be said that he had watched the live broadcast from start to finish, and after watching it, he suddenly had a feeling of weariness.
 
He liked Edgar for so many years and always thought that he could definitely wait for Edgar. And the result? Edgar already had a child now, but he never gave him more than a glance.
 
He was very much beaten and felt like requesting leave of absence to return home and rest, but, unexpectedly, right at this moment, he actually learned about some news—Calvin was arrested, and the Imperial family appeared personally.

Why did the Imperial family arrest Calvin without rhyme or reason?
 
Although the man he loved had always been Edgar, but Calvin was also a friend . . . . Myer hurriedly flew over to find Edgar, hoping to ask and be clear about this.
 
"You go with me." Edgar said, and his aircraft continued to fly ahead.
 
Myer was a little taken aback and then followed Edgar closely.
 
Calvin was locked up in the prison. There were many people on hand watching him, but he had not been subjected to any unfair treatment at all. Even so, his face was very ugly.
 
When he was just arrested, he thought someone was playing a joke on him. As a result . . . he soon saw so much evidence of his mother conspiring to murder Edgar.
 
He wanted to say that everything was false and impossible, but with so much evidence placed in front of him, it was obviously pointless . . . . The matter of his mother harming somebody simply couldn’t be faked.
 
No wonder when he made his police subordinates work hard to investigate this matter, they couldn't find anything, and even some evidence was destroyed. As it turned out, the culprit was his mother, and there were actually his mother’s people among his subordinates.
 
After knowing all of these, Calvin was practically lost for words. Seeing Edgar and Myer appeared in front of him, he stared blankly for a moment and then said to Edgar, "I'm sorry."
 
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Once the investigation is clear, you can come out." Edgar said. Calvin did not participate after all, so it was impossible to keep him locked up. However, his position would likely be gone.
 
"I'm sorry." Calvin apologized once again, forcing a smile. His mother would start with Edgar maybe because it concerned him? He always liked Myer, but Myer liked Edgar. At that time, hearing that Myer’s father and the Imperial family were negotiating Myer’s marriage, he was very hurt and once sought his mother to talk.
 
He had never linked this matter with Edgar's being harmed. However . . . it was after he had sought his mother that Edgar had an accident.
 
"It has nothing to do with you." Edgar said. He was definitely not a person who was good at comforting people. After finishing this sentence, he did not know other pertinent things to say. At this time, his communication device started to ring.
 
There was a short message on his communication device, which came from Shu Shu, "I love you."
 
Edgar was stunned and then could not help but show a happy expression on his face. He didn't even want to stay here any longer.
 
"You can rest assured that you’ll be free after several days." Edgar nodded to Calvin and then left hurriedly.
 
Upon seeing this, Calvin started to laugh bitterly. He really didn't expect that there would be a day when Edgar paid more attention to a lover than friends.
 
However, at this time, he also didn’t have the face to criticize Edgar . . . . In this past year, Edgar being injured, slandered, and framed was actually caused by his mother. Even today, his mother still made Donald discredit Edgar before running away.

"What happened after all?" Myer stared at Calvin worriedly.
 
"It’s nothing." Calvin replied. At this point, he didn't know what else he could say . . . . With what had happened, he reckoned that there would be no possibility at all of him and Myer being together.
 
While Calvin and Myer were having nothing to say to each other, Edgar rushed back to the Imperial palace with the fastest speed to find Shu Shu.

When Edgar found Shu Shu, Shu Shu was online, watching the previous live broadcast video of himself that had been recorded by some people while eating fruit.
 
The fruit placed beside him was a very rare fruit of the Beastman Empire, and even the Imperial family did not get many of them. And now, those all were given to Shu Shu by Ian.
 
"Shu Shu, what did you say to me?" Edgar asked.
 
"What?" Shu Shu stared blankly.

"You sent me a message . . ." Edgar said.
 
Shu Shu felt that Edgar’s gaze was very, very bright at this moment. It was so bright that he could not help but feel like pouncing on Edgar, and thus he really did it . . . . Hugging Edgar, Shu Shu nipped Edgar’s lips. "I love you."
 
Edgar was deeply moved. For a split second, he even felt a little grateful to Jonathan. After all, if it had not been for Jonathan, he might never have met Shu Shu.
 
"Seeing that you love me so much, I’ll also love you more and more." Shu Shu kissed Edgar's lips again.
 
After going through Ian’s explanation and checking some information on the Internet, he already knew the importance of the beast bead to the beastmen and that the beast bead was completely different from his red bead.
 
Edgar believed that he was a beastman and yet gave him the beast bead. He absolutely loved him very, very much.
 
Having lived for several hundred years, this was the first time someone was so good to him . . . . Shu Shu was so happy to the point that he would send that kind of message to Edgar. And now, as he fixed his gaze on Edgar, he found that the more he looked at Edgar, the more he liked him.
 
This was his Edgar!
 
Edgar saw the affection in Shu Shu’s eyes clearly. He almost couldn’t restrain himself from pushing Shu Shu down onto the bed and kissing him, but he abruptly stopped.
 
"Come on." Shu Shu reached out and pulled Edgar. After knowing that the thing in his stomach was a child and not a tumor, his psychological pressure completely disappeared. Right now, he especially wanted to have an in-depth interaction with Edgar.
 
"No, it’ll hurt the child." Edgar said.
 
"There’s no relationship at all! At worst, you can just give me a little more spiritual power." Shu Shu said directly. The eggshell of the egg in his stomach was said to be especially hard; how could it get hurt easily?
 
Edgar began to input his spiritual power into Shu Shu, and then . . . he went and pounced on Shu Shu.
 
Previously, worried that the tumor would be getting bigger if it was provided with spiritual power, Edgar did not particularly dare to input his spiritual power into Shu Shu’s body. Today, he actually sent out all his spiritual power, eager for the child to absorb a little more of it, to the extent that the egg in Shu Shu’s stomach was a little bigger again. Shu Shu also got hungry right away.

Lying on his back on the bed while eating snacks continuously, Shu Shu suddenly said, "Is this child over-nourished, ah? Actually growing so fast . . . . Mother said that he was pregnant with you for seven months. I think I only need two months to be able to give birth to him."

"I think so too." Edgar said, hugging Shu Shu’s protruding belly and giving it a kiss. His child was inside it; as long as he thought of this detail, he couldn’t help but feel happy.
 
Of course, what made him happiest was the fact that Shu Shu clearly loved him very much. Otherwise, Shu Shu, as a beastman, would not be willing to give birth to a child for him . . . .
 
"There’s actually an egg in my stomach. Although it’s good, but there’s no fetal movement at all. I thought I could experience giving prenatal education and feel the baby move . . . ." Shu Shu was just saying this when his belly suddenly moved.
 
Staring at Shu Shu's belly, Edgar was indescribably happy. "He moved! He moved!" As he spoke, he gently and cautiously touched Shu Shu's belly.

Seeing that Edgar's gaze was focused on his belly, Shu Shu no longer cared about him and continued to watch videos on the Internet instead.

Watching the videos on the Internet, Shu Shu felt especially embarrassed. Then . . . he saw the latest comments.
 
"The stupidest crown prince in history, ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
 
"Talking about the importance of physiology class, you can skip any other classes, but don't skip the physiology class, ah!"
 
"I’m going to refer to this joke forever!"
 
"Give the crown prince a moment of silence. Say, if they have an operation and take the egg out . . . is there any possibility they’d feel that the tumor looks distinctly weird?"
 
"The poor baby was almost forced to be born prematurely, ha ha ha ha."

Reading these comments, Shu Shu was depressed.
 
Were he and Edgar really so stupid?
 
He was just thinking so when he suddenly saw a comment saying that the crown prince had posted a message on his social media account . . . . Shu Shu followed that person’s direction and soon saw Edgar's social media account.
 
It was a microblog-like platform where you could post all kinds of news, and it was generally used for posting photos and daily musing.
 
Edgar rarely posted anything. Even when he posted something, he usually only forwarded some news related to himself. For example, on his last post, he forwarded the news of his marriage announced by the Imperial family, and on the previous one, he forwarded the Imperial family’s statement about him having not become a fallen beast and having returned to the capital star.

His posting style had always been like this, but, surprisingly, the one posted just now stood out from the crowd. "I’m going to be a father! I’m going to be a father!! I’m going to be a father!!! [twisting little snake.jpg]"

The crown prince was obviously very excited, and the comments below his posted message were also jubilant.
 
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
 
"Is this His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince being madly happy?"
 
"Important thing must be said three times. Congratulations, Your Imperial Highness! Congratulations, Your Imperial Highness!! Congratulations, Your Imperial Highness!!!"
 
"Looking forward to the little prince's birth!"
 
. . . . . .


People were congratulating Edgar, but among so many congratulatory comments, a discordant comment suddenly appeared, "I dislike snake the most!! And you actually posted a snake picture!!!"
 
Damn! Someone actually said that he disliked snake under the crown prince’s social media account! Who was this guy? How was his courage so big?
 
The people who saw this comment were enraged and immediately opened the profile of the person who made the comment . . . .
 
This person did not use an anonymous sock puppet and used his real account to go into battle. Furthermore, his real account was authenticated—the crown princess of the Empire; the partner of the Crown Prince Edgar.
 
Your Imperial Highness the Crown Prince, your partner said that he disliked snake the most. Was this really no problem? You were also a snake, ah!
 
People were speechless. When they were rolling up their sleeves and planning to say a few words to help the crown prince—such as telling the crown princess that a snake was actually very cute too; what’s more, the crown prince was very powerful—they suddenly discovered that the crown prince had deleted the previous dynamic and then changed it into: "I want a sub-beastman. [hamster.jpg]"
 
Crown prince, you’re too chicken! Why didn’t you hold on for a few more minutes before deleting it, ah?!
 
The Internet was very lively. Edgar stroked Shu Shu’s very big belly and slowly started to kiss it again.
 
After stroking Shu Shu’s belly and reading the news on the Internet for a while, Edgar’s spiritual power recovered. Anyway, since Shu Shu’s health was very good, they were allowed to do it once again, weren’t they?
 
Shu Shu had no objection at all in doing it once again and began to respond enthusiastically.
 
Two people were just touching each other when Shu Shu suddenly felt a little off.
 
He had a strong feeling of going to have diarrhea . . . .
 
"Edgar, hold on! I’m going to have diarrhea!" Shu Shu suddenly exclaimed.
 
Was it really okay to suddenly say this when you were in bed? Edgar let go of Shu Shu with some speechlessness, watching Shu Shu’s little butt jiggle as he rushed into the toilet.
 
Shu Shu tried to relieve himself in the toilet for a while, but nothing came out. He could only return to the bed naked while feeling a bit depressed. “I obviously felt like having diarrhea, but nothing came out in the end. What the heck is going on, ah?!"

"You’ll be fine." Edgar said. Shu Shu ate so many things and probably had some indigestion. He should be fine after a while.
 
Thinking about it, Edgar held Shu Shu and continued to input spiritual power into Shu Shu's stomach. Spiritual power was a good thing and would not bring any harm even if he inputted a lot.
 
Shu Shu felt like having diarrhea and was very uncomfortable, but after Edgar gave him lots of spiritual power, he immediately felt much better and more comfortable. Just thinking so, Shu Shu suddenly had a stomach ache, and the feeling of having diarrhea was even more intense.

"Quickly help me go to the toilet!" Shu Shu said urgently. Having heard what was said, Edgar at once rose so he could carry Shu Shu. At the same time, he also didn’t forget to input his spiritual power into Shu Shu.
 
However, at this moment, Shu Shu once again spoke, "Oh no, I can't hold it in!"
 
"Shu Shu!" Edgar shouted and then, staring at Shu Shu’s belly, was struck dumb.
 
The bulge on Shu Shu’s belly disappeared, and a slick egg stained with a few red wisps of blood appeared on their bed.
