80. Had a Nightmare
 

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

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

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