88. A Lot of Fallen Beasts
 

After finding Ian and company, Chris used the military emergency communication channel to contact the people in the capital star. He conveyed the situation on the Fallen Beast Planet, but he himself did not immediately go back.
 
He fell ill.
 
Beastmen seldom fell ill, but Chris was not young after all. In addition to having gone through a big upset, he had also stayed strong for quite a long time. Naturally, he could not stand it. After everything was settled, he fell ill.
 
At first he only felt very tired, but he soon began to ache all over. At the same time, some of his old injuries were also triggered off, inducing a low fever.
 
Chris rarely fell ill, but although he was ill now, he did not feel uncomfortable. After all, Ian was always at his side, taking care of him.
 
Such an experience of being taken care of was very rare for him. Because as a beastman, he had always taken care of Ian instead of Ian taking care of him.
 
Talk about taking care of Ian . . . . He had been so busy he had not had much time to take care of Ian, and it had been a long time since they had spent time together without being disturbed.
 
"I stewed some soup. You eat it, okay." Ian came in from the outside with a bowl of fish soup on his hand. "I don't know what fish this is, but it’s been tested and has very good nutrients. You can eat more."
 
Seeing Ian, Chris smiled and suddenly remembered the days when they first knew each other. At that time, they disguised themselves and pretended to be a pair of ordinary partners. Ian would cook for him then, but later . . . .
 
Ian’s cooking skills could not compare with the robots’, and they were also very busy. Gradually, Ian stopped doing it. Today, finally, he could once again eat a love meal that Ian made personally.
 
The fish soup did not smell good at all, but it was cooked personally by his own sub-beastman . . . . Chris raised the bowl with both hands and drank a big mouthful of soup. Then he took a pair of chopsticks and ate the fish meat as he drank the soup.
 
Sub-beastmen ate fish very carefully for fear that they would get a fish bone stuck in their throats, but beastmen certainly didn’t have to be so careful when eating fish. The fish used by Ian for stewing the soup was not big, and its thorns were thin and soft. Chris chewed the fish directly and then swallowed it down into his stomach.
 
Chris ate with gusto, making another being in the room envious. A little snake slithered to the front of Chris and abruptly turned into a white, fat baby, who then stared at Chris impatiently, eyes full of thirst for the fish soup.
 
Chris did not feel bored when he was recuperating. Besides having Ian to keep him company, there was also another reason. His grandson always accompanied him while he was recuperating.
 
He could not say how close he was to his son, but his love toward his grandson was beyond words. Just seeing his grandson already made him thoroughly happy. As soon as he thought of his other grandson in Shu Shu’s belly, his mood was even better.
 
He previously thought that their imperial family was going to be a thing of the past. He did not expect that they now got two children all at once.
 
"Xiao Bao also wants to drink?" Chris smiled at Xiao Bao. He took a spoonful of soup and blew it to cool before feeding it to the baby. The baby opened his mouth wide and gulped down a mouthful of soup. After that, he continued to stare at Chris impatiently like before.
 
When Shu Shu and Edgar came over, the child had not only drunk the fish soup but also eaten a lot of other things. He was lying supine on the bed while stroking his own belly; his hands and feet were fleshy, and his gurgles were especially cute.
 
"Xiao Bao!" Shu Shu liked children very much. Seeing the baby, he rushed up to hug him and give him a few kisses. Xiao Bao hugged Shu Shu back and also kissed Shu Shu a few times and even called "mama"—this child was still small and unable to talk yet, but he could utter some simple pronunciation now.
 
"Xiao Bao can already talk! You’re really amazing!" Shu Shu, holding the child, gave the child a few more kisses.
 
The little beastman was well-fed and not prone to crying. He was not impatient at all as he was caught and kissed by Shu Shu. On the contrary, he gave a gurgle of laughter and kissed Shu Shu back.
 
Edgar, who came in later, was still snake-shaped and unable to do anything and thus felt that it was extremely unsightly. "Shu Shu, don't spoil the little beastman like this."
 
"How do I spoil him?" Shu Shu glanced at Edgar, unconvinced. He only kissed and hugged his own child, that’s all.
 
"Edgar, you can't be so harsh on children." Ian said. "Children must be taught well. If they do something wrong, you can't be excessively tolerant of them, but you also can't be cold to them. I always disapprove of many of the beastmen's parenting methods." Baby Xiao Bao was so cute, ah! He also wanted to hold him for a while!
 
Edgar could only turn his gaze toward his father. He remembered that when he was a child, his father often said that little beastmen should not be pampered so they could toughen up. It might be assumed that his father was endorsing his parenting philosophy.
 
As a result . . . . Chris coughed twice. "The child’s still young. Wait until he’s three years old before training him properly. We’ll just throw him into the military camp to learn through experience for a few days."
 
Edgar: ". . ." Beastmen started to form memories early, and so he had memories from when he was very young. At that time, Chris clearly didn’t say so!
 
“Going to the military camp when he’s three years old?” Shu Shu opened his eyes wide in astonishment. He wanted to refute, but he suddenly thought of the growth speed of beastmen, which seemed to be very different from that of humans.
 
Maybe beastmen could really go to the military camp when they were still very young . . . . Come to think about it, ordinary hamsters generally lived for less than three years.
 
"A three-year-old beastman can already do a lot of things." Ian looked at Shu Shu and smiled. "Once I return to the capital star, I’ll send you the videos taken when Edgar was three years old along with other videos . . . ."
 
“Okay." Shu Shu nodded and suddenly remembered something. "Are you going to go back? "
 
“We’ll go back in a few days." Ian nodded. Edgar presently was still a fallen beast and could not go back to the capital star, but he and Chris had to go back. After all, they still had a lot of work that needed to be done.
 
Anyway, they had already decided. Otherwise, it would not take long before they became loafers!
 
Chris and Ian really left after a few days, but Shu Shu and Edgar stayed on the Fallen Beast Planet. At the same time, the Imperial Fleet also left behind several warships on the Fallen Beast Planet.
 
In the capital star, many people who were very busy with their jobs would often had a notion to find a remote and isolated planet where they could be far from the Internet and live quietly all alone for a while. Let them live that way for a few days, and they could still stand it. However, if you let them live a little longer, they absolutely wouldn’t be able to stand it.
 
How could people who were accustomed to the Internet bear to live without it? 

The crown prince and the crown princess had to live on the Fallen Beast Planet for quite a long time. Many people thought that this was a very painful thing. In reality, whether it was Edgar or Shu Shu, they both adapted well to this kind of life.
 
Their previous living conditions were quite hard and really not very convenient, but now that there was the Imperial Fleet, their lives were practically very comfortable.
 
Cultivate, sleep, look after the child, and a day of hard work would pass in the twinkling of an eye. As for going online . . . as long as there was a tablet to download some TV dramas, Shu Shu now could watch those things until the end of time. He totally didn’t care about having no star network.

Over time, Edgar's strength recovered more and more. At the same time, a piece of news spread on the Fallen Beast Planet—the crown prince and the crown princess of the Beastman Empire were on the Fallen Beast Planet, and the crown princess could help the fallen beasts restore their beast cores!
 
The Fallen Beast Planet was very large. At first, this matter was only known to the fallen beasts in the vicinity of Edgar and company, but slowly, the news began to spread out, and then more and more fallen beasts knew. On top of that, all the fallen beasts who knew the news were coming to the place where Edgar and company were located.
 
Which fallen beast did not want to become a beastman again?
 
Even those fallen beasts whose minds were already not so clear also wanted to become beastmen again.
 
Compared with the total population of the Beastman Empire, the number of beastmen who became fallen beasts every year in the Beastman Empire was actually not many. But because the current population of the Beastman Empire was very many, there were at least seven or eight hundred beastmen. Oftentimes, the number even reached a thousand or two. In this way, the fallen beasts on the Fallen Beast Planet were getting more and more.
 
When Reynolds had not yet arrived on the Fallen Beast Planet, the fallen beasts had been killing each other. But in the past thirty years, such things had rarely been seen.
 
There were nearly thirty thousand fallen beasts who lived on the Fallen Beast Planet nowadays. At present, these fallen beasts basically already knew about Edgar and Shu Shu.
   
In an area very, very far away from Edgar and company, a slightly-built hyena fallen beast traveled through the jungle at full speed and finally arrived in front of some mounds hidden inside the forest.
 
"Mike, what happened outside?" A huge snake slithered out of a mound and turned his gaze toward the hyena as he used his tail to hold a twig and write on the ground. They lived in the forest and seldom came in contact with the outside world. They basically relied on the hyena to get the news . . . . Of course, there was actually no important news on the Fallen Beast Planet.
 
The hyena made some barks, and then, worried that his explanation was unclear, he eventually started to write on the ground with his claws and quickly wrote down everything that happened outside clearly.
 
A good deal of fallen beasts came out one after another from the surrounding mounds. There were many kinds of fallen beasts, but the most in number among them were undoubtedly snakes. They all saw the words written by the hyena and, from time to time, made some low roars or flicked their tongues. Someone could actually help the fallen beasts restore their beast cores? This was real?
 
"Everyone’s rushing over there. I have to go too." The hyena wrote again.
 
The fallen beasts who came out of the mounds looked at each other in surprise, and their eyes were full of excitement. They also wanted to go; they wanted to repair their beast cores and become beastmen again!
 
The huge snake, who was the very first to come out from the mound, suddenly swatted a tree on the side with his tail, breaking the tree directly as well as making the excited fallen beasts on the scene quieten down.
 
"Don't forget why we’d stay here. Do you think they’ll really help us restore our beast cores?" The words the huge snake wrote down silenced the rest of the fallen beasts on the scene.
 
Yeah, even though other fallen beasts had the opportunity to become beastmen again, they did not. How could those people be willing to spend  their efforts on a group of criminals?
 
However, should they continue to hide here and wait for the day they went crazy or died just because of this?
 
The eyes of these fallen beasts were full of unwillingness. That snake beastman once again wrote, "Let's go take a look at the situation first and put off the discussion until later."
 
There were countless fallen beasts gathering near the area where Edgar and company lived, but there were only Reynolds and his men to maintain order as well as the Imperial Fleet to intimidate. This actually didn’t affect Shu Shu at all.
 
But even so, Shu Shu still felt that the pressure was quite big.
 
With so many fallen beasts, even if he had enough eggshells, restoring one a day meant that it would take ten years to finish the whole lot!
 
Shu Shu suddenly regretted it very much. He regretted not keeping his mouth shut and saying that he could restore the beast core as soon as he met Reynolds and others . . . . If he had known earlier that there were so many fallen beasts, he certainly wouldn’t have made such irresponsible remarks!
 
But it was already too late . . . .
 
Shu Shu was very distressed, and Edgar could sense his mood. After thinking about it, he briefed his subordinates to go prepare a candlelight dinner.
 
Shu Shu was very easy to coax. Just give him something delicious, and he would cheer up right away.

87. The Lively Star Network
 

These days, the star network had been very lively. This liveliness began from the time when Shu Shu was attacked by Donald, and the whole thing was broadcasted live on the star network.
 
At first, the people of the Beastman Empire watched the abnormal live broadcast and found out that the imperial family got a new member. Then the emperor sent out countless red envelopes, which set off a national celebration . . . . While everyone was still sharing this joy, the empress was actually kidnapped!
 
Although the Beastman Empire had already implemented a constitutional monarchy since long ago, but the imperial family still held considerable power and was also the richest family in the Empire. Consequently, there were quite a lot of people who took shots at the imperial family and even tried to kidnap the imperial family. No one had ever succeeded though. Yet this time, someone succeeded and even kidnapped the empress.
 
Because the person who planned this was Jonathan, the sub-beastman younger brother of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the Beastman Empire.
 
Chris, the emperor, had absolutely nothing to say to Jonathan. His parents had adopted and taken great care of Jonathan. For a long time now, there was no end of people who envied Jonathan.
 
As a result, after Jonathan had failed in his attempt to plot against the crown princess’ life, he actually kidnapped Ian and the unborn little prince! He was simply an ungrateful wretch!
 
In today's era when information flow was particularly fast, many things could not be covered up. The matter of Jonathan smearing Edgar’s name as well as dispatching Donald to attack the crown princess had already been revealed. After Ian was kidnapped, the imperial family simply didn’t cover it up. On the contrary, the ins and outs of this matter were explained, and the video of Jonathan kidnapping Ian was uploaded on the star network.
 
Because of this, Jonathan had become someone whom everyone hated. People had no time to pay attention to the unborn little prince; rather, they started to pay attention to this matter.
 
Jonathan was already married to the Duke of Mund. They had a child together and always looked very loving in front of the media. As it turned out, Jonathan was actually still thinking of the emperor and even came up with evil schemes for the crown prince and the crown princess in addition to kidnapping the empress . . . .
 
"For those who think that he acted against the imperial family only because of his feelings, I can only say that you’re too naive. He clearly wants to eliminate the imperial family at one stroke and then ascend the throne himself . . . . FYI, he’s also one of the heirs to the throne."
 
“That’s right. If it weren’t for his plot falling through and standing exposed, His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince would be dead already! Afterwards, won’t the imperial family fall into his hands?"
 
"This man’s too malicious! I really regret that I used to consider him as an example!"
 
. . . . .

At that time, many people on the star network analyzed Jonathan's motives while waiting for Emperor Chris to rescue the empress . . . . Everyone was full of confidence in the imperial family and felt that the empress would definitely be rescued.
 
As a result, when many people were keeping watch on the star network, waiting for the empress to be rescued, they actually heard the news of the empress’ disappearance. At the same time, the imperial family’s huge reward was also hung on the star network.
 
Anyone who provided valuable clues could get a lot of money.
 
After this news arrived, many people despaired, but there were a lot more who began to look for Empress Ian, hoping to get a huge reward that Chris had promised.
 
However, they caught plenty of star pirates, but no one found Ian. This was already bad enough, and then some people realized . . . . Crown Prince Edgar and the crown princess had not appeared for a very long time!
 
The empress was kidnapped, and the emperor led the imperial fleet to chase after people. Yet the crown prince and the crown princess had actually never appeared under these circumstances. What did this mean?
 
Did the crown prince and the crown princess . . . have an accident?
 
The crown prince and the crown princess indeed had an accident. They secretly hid in the spaceship that Jonathan took in order to rescue the empress and the child. Now, they were all missing!
 
Besides Chris, the emperor, the life or death of the rest of the imperial family was unforeseeable. The star network instantly exploded. Many netizens began to pray for blessings for the imperial family as countless people closely followed the search and rescue progress. Unfortunately, the news that arrived from the front line was only bad news without any good one.
 
The imperial family’s private spaceship had exploded in the starry sky!
   
The spaceship had been completely blown out; could the empress and company survive?
 
"That Jonathan’s really despicable!"
   
"The little prince’s still an egg, and he disappeared in the stars. It's so tragic . . ."
 
"His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince must be fine, ah! There’re still the crown princess and the empress. They’re surely fine . . . "
 
. . . . . .

Recently, the atmosphere on the star network had been very heavy. People had no time to pay attention to entertainment. Some funny movies and TV dramas were even directly put on the shelf or taken down from the shelf . . . .
 
At this time, an item of news suddenly appeared on the star network—"News from the Imperial Fleet: The empress, the crown prince, and his family have been found!"
 
The empress and company had been found? People delightedly opened the news and then saw a video inside.
 
The spokesperson of the imperial family first explained briefly that Chris had found the empress and company on the Fallen Beast Planet and also mentioned that the little prince had already hatched. Then, with a sorrowful face, he stated that although no one died, but when they were in the middle of the universe, Crown Prince Edgar shattered his beast core and became a fallen beast in order to protect the empress and company.
 
What? The crown prince actually became a fallen beast? Everyone who saw this video was stunned, especially those young people who worshiped or liked the crown prince. They, more than anyone, felt it was unacceptable.
 
The crown prince was so powerful; how could he become a fallen beast?
 
At this moment, the imperial family’s spokesperson suddenly spoke again after a slight pause, "However, everyone doesn't need to worry. The crown princess has discovered a method to restore the beast core of the fallen beasts. Although this method still has some flaws, but it has been determined to be feasible. I believe that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be able to recover soon."
 
What did this man say? The crown princess came up with a method to restore the beast core of the fallen beasts? This was a joke, right?
 
People who heard the spokesperson's speech were not particularly convinced that this matter was true. They suspected that they had misheard the man. At this moment, in the video, the imperial family’s spokesperson disappeared. Then the video showed some scenes on the Fallen Beast Planet, including the one where the emperor and the empress came out and said a few words.
 
They saw General Reynolds, who became a fallen beast thirty years ago. Now that his beast core had been restored, he became a beastman again and still looked very powerful and handsome.
 
They saw several former fallen beasts, whose beast cores had been restored but were still not very stable, living in the desert and playing with the little prince. In the end, they often became a joke because they could not control their body shapes just like the little prince.
 
They also saw the crown prince who had become a fallen beast talking with the crown princess gently and softly. The crown princess cleaned the crown prince’s body with water and even fed the crown prince himself.
 
Furthermore, they saw that brilliant and famous doctor chase after the crown princess, wanting to learn all kinds of knowledge from him. Meanwhile, the crown princess used his innate skill to heal people’s wounds in the blink of an eye.
 
This video was not meticulously shot, and there was no particularly moving scene in it, yet many people cried watching it. Even they themselves did not know why they would cry.
 
"Mr. Reynolds used to be my idol. It’s really great that he has recovered!"
 
"The little prince’s so cute! He’s atavistic just like His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince. He must be very strong after he grows up!"
 
"The crown princess is awesome!
 
"The interaction between the crown princess and His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince is so warm. His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince has become a fallen beast and looks quite scary, yet the crown princess actually doesn’t care about it . . ."
 
. . . . . .

There were all sorts of evaluations on the star network. The leopard Bauer’s sub-beastman saw this video and burst into tears.
 
He was a very ordinary sub-beastman. In addition to looking unattractive, he was also quite fat, and his health was not so good either. Yet Bauer had always been very good to him. Unfortunately, at the time when he felt very blessed, they ran into danger, and Bauer became a fallen beast.
 
After Bauer was sent to the Fallen Beast Planet, his life was very bad. Not to mention that he had no money to send Bauer things, even to keep himself and his children afloat was already very difficult. Only when he finally found a welfare job did his life stabilize.
 
But even then, he still refused the bachelor beastmen who wanted to marry him.
 
Many people advised him to find another beastman to live with, but he did not want to. Bauer only became a fallen beast in order to save him and the children. He did not want to be with another beastman just for a living.
 
Sometimes he was also very confused; he did not know if his choice was right or wrong in the end. But when he saw Bauer in the video, loudly saying that he missed him and the children, he suddenly felt that his persistence was correct after all.
 
Besides Bauer, Jesse’s parents also saw Jesse.
 
Jesse was a doctor, and so were his parents. Their family lived on a planet near the capital star. They had a pretty big family clinic, and their lives were very good. It was unfortunate that some time later, there was a sub-beastman who died in their clinic. Afterwards, that sub-beastman's partner actually brought some explosives and wanted to die together with them . . . . Jesse was the casualty at that time.
 
They always thought that their son had already died. They did not expect that he was actually still alive and had even recovered now.
 
This couple also cried tears of joy.
 
At the same time, there were even more people who were full of hopes and expectations.
 
"My father’s a soldier. He became a fallen beast. Can he still return to our side?"
 
"My son had an accident and got his beast core shattered when he’s a child. He’s still very small when he’s sent to the Fallen Beast Planet. Can he come back?"
 
"I really miss my younger brother. Does he live well on the Fallen Beast Planet?"
 
. . . . . .

All the netizens were discussing the Fallen Beast Planet. Someone even directly organized an adventure team, intending to go there. At the same time, Shu Shu, the crown princess, was also popular.
 
A lot of people who had previously spoken badly of Shu Shu were apologizing to Shu Shu on the star network even though Shu Shu could not see it at all.
 
Meanwhile on the Fallen Beast Planet, the men of the Imperial Fleet were building a house.
 
It would take a while for Edgar to recover. Moreover, the fallen beasts on the Fallen Beast Planet needed to be sorted out slowly and one by one. Under these circumstances, they might have to stay on the Fallen Beast Planet for a long time. So it was absolutely necessary to build a house.
 
The Fallen Beast Planet was more remote than the Gass Planet. Don’t say being connected to the star network, it did not even have its own internal network. Shu Shu naturally knew nothing at all about things on the star network. Right now, he was in high spirits and set on building his dream house while living a very, very spoiled life raising the unborn egg.
 
When he was a hamster kept by humans, he did not need to worry about anything. He could eat and sleep and eat and sleep over and over again. Still, he would unavoidably be grabbed to play by the owner, and he needed to please the owner. But now, not only could he eat and sleep and eat and sleep, but there were also robots to dance for him and fallen beasts to perform for him!
 
This was definitely the life he dreamed of.

86. The Amazing Shu Shu


The Fallen Beast Planet was sparsely populated and had always been very quiet. The desert zone was even more so; very few living animals moved around in this area. Yet recently, a certain border of the desert of the Fallen Beast Planet had been very lively, and a lot of fallen beasts had gathered here. 
 
Today, this place was even livelier.
 
The spaceships that had landed in the distant place all soared, flying toward this side of the desert, and around them, there were still some aircraft escorts. The entire procession could be said to be so grandiose it hid the sky and covered the earth, and the sound of activity was extremely loud.
 
A few days ago, several fallen beast colonies nearby already got the news that Reynolds, who was regarded as the king by the fallen beasts, was staying at that barren place whose sole merit was its safety.
 
Now that they saw so many spaceships flying towards the desert, all of them were endlessly surprised.
 
"It’s still not the time for the delivery men to come. Why’re there spaceships coming?"
 
"A lot of spaceships! And they’re all big spaceships!"
 
"Are they coming to find Reynolds?"
 
"They should be. Before Mr. Reynolds came here, he was an important general!"
 
They were discussing it incessantly when suddenly, someone said, "Those spaceships seem to be imperial family’s!"
 
After this man said so, everyone realized that there were imperial family’s emblems on those spaceships.
 
Why would the imperial family’s spaceships appear here? Were there things on the Fallen Beast Planet that could make the imperial family pay attention to this planet? Or . . . . It was totally impossible for a fallen beast to appear in the imperial family, right?
 
"Mr. Reynolds and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor are friends. Maybe His Imperial Majesty the Emperor came to find Reynolds." Someone explained.

The rest of the fallen beast in the colonies deeply believed so, and one fallen beast said, "How about we go there to take a look?" 
 
The fallen beasts lived a single’s life. Aside from preparing their own food, they hardly needed to do anything else, and they had lots of free time on weekdays. So now, after making a decision, they simply ran to the desert.
 
Meanwhile, in the desert, the spaceships had landed. As soon as they were parked securely, aircraft, mechs, and so on all flew down from the spaceships. In addition, many beastmen dressed in military uniforms of the Imperial Fleet neatly came down from the spaceships.
 
Everything was done neatly and tidily and looked very imposing. It was simply a variety of scenes that would only appear in movies.
 
Edgar and Shu Shu had been waiting at the dugout entrance, and Reynolds' subordinates were also there. They naturally caught sight of this scene.
 
When these fallen beasts came to the Fallen Beast Planet, it was either long ago or a few years ago. They could not recognize Edgar’s beast form and did not know Shu Shu. But basically, they all knew Ian, the empress, and they had already known the identity of Edgar and company.
 
However, although they knew the identity of Edgar and company, but at the very beginning, everyone had been shocked by Shu Shu, who could help the fallen beasts restore their beast cores, and so they did not care about this identity thing.
 
Later, they spent a long time with Shu Shu and company and found that they did not put on airs at all. And so these fallen beasts soon forgot about it.
 
They could not discern anything else beyond the fact that the crown prince in his beast form was very strong. As for the empress and the crown princess . . . they did not put on airs and looked like ordinary people, ah!
 
Although they generally kept trying to please Shu Shu and company, but it was absolutely not because of the identity of Shu Shu and company. It was only now that they profoundly felt the difference between their standing and that of Shu Shu and company.
 
All the fallen beasts subconsciously quietened down.
 
When Chris brought Ian down from the aircraft, those fallen beasts silently got out of the way.
 
Chris, the emperor, they had only seen him in the news, and they had never thought that they could be in such a close contact with him.
 
Chris had already eaten something and also taken a nap for a few minutes while on the way here. And after doing a little sprucing up, his whole person, despite being thin, seemed to be in glowing spirits and no longer cut a sorry figure like when Ian first saw him.
 
"Father." Edgar called. Shu Shu also waved his hand: "Father, you came! It’s really great!"
 
Chris, seeing his beast-shaped son open his mouth and speak, was startled, yet his face showed nothing. "Edgar, Shu Shu, you’ve worked hard."
 
Chris did not show anything when speaking to Edgar, but it was impossible for others to be this calm. After being shocked by Reynolds, the men who followed after Chris were shocked by Edgar.
 
What exactly was going on? Why was His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince still able to speak in spite of being beast-shaped?
 
"This is what I should do." Edgar said. Laying his eyes on Shu Shu, he felt that it was Shu Shu who had really worked hard.
 
Chris took a deep breath, feeling excited as well as guilty.
 
If it were not for his son, Ian would probably have lost his life . . . . Fortunately, Edgar took action to save people. But . . . his son and Shu Shu had suffered hardship.
 
Seeing that Edgar had become a fallen beast again and that Shu Shu’s belly slightly bulged out, Chris immediately looked behind him, “You quickly examine the crown prince and the crown princess.”
 
Chris’ spaceship had a special medical team, and they had long been ready. Hearing Chris’ words, they promptly came to Shu Shu and Edgar’s side with some instruments and started examining Shu Shu and Edgar.
 
"Your Imperial Majesty, the beast core of His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince is gone!" A nurse cried out in alarm.
 
"The physical condition of His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince is very bad!"
 
"His Imperial Highness, he . . ."
 
The expressions of several medical personnel around Edgar were very ugly. Edgar, the crown prince, actually became a fallen beast. How big of a blow was this to the imperial family?
 
Although they heard that Reynolds had recovered after becoming a fallen beast, but who would dare to say that Edgar could also recover?
 
The medical personnel around Edgar were very worried. The medical personnel around Shu Shu, however, were both shocked and delighted.
 
The crown princess was pregnant again. This was a big, happy event, ah! The imperial family had not given birth to two children for so many years!
 
But . . . hadn’t the crown princess just given birth to a child before he was snatched? How did he get pregnant again so fast? The crown princess would not have a problem, would he? The child would not have a problem, right?
 
These medical personnel wanted to do a more detailed examination of Shu Shu but was refused by Shu Shu without the slightest hesitation—his body was different from ordinary sub-beastmen’s; how could he casually let others examine it?
 
"Is the child all right?" Edgar did not care about himself. Instead, he hastened to turn his gaze toward the medical personnel around Shu Shu.
 
"Your Imperial Highness, we’re unable to see the child's situation." The medical personnel looked at Edgar with a stumped expression and were further bewildered. Animals' vocal cords were completely different from humans’. Although some animals could produce human sounds, but snakes were absolutely incapable of doing it. Why was His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince able to speak? And his speaking voice was still exactly the same as his voice before.
 
This Fallen Beast Planet was truly beyond strange everywhere.
 
Unable to see the child's situation? Indeed, his and Shu Shu's children were completely different from other people's children . . . . Edgar breathed a sigh of relief and then remembered that he still had one thing to deal with.
 
Seeing that all the people Chris brought were in a fog, Edgar said: "I'm fine. Although I have no beast core now, but I can recover after a while."
 
"Your Imperial Highness!" The leader of the medical team, an old doctor, stared at Edgar excitedly. "Your Imperial Highness, you said you could recover?"
 
"Yes, I can recover." Edgar said affirmatively.
 
"Your Imperial Highness, you’ve become a fallen beast, and you can still recover . . . . You . . ." This doctor was a famous doctor who had published many medical papers, and his reputation was not less than Jones’. Nevertheless, he was so shocked he was unable to say complete words at the moment.
 
"Not only His Imperial Highness can recover, but other fallen beasts can also recover." Jones, pulling Reynolds' hand, came down from an aircraft.
 
Reynolds had already replaced the clothes that were wet with the little snake’s urine. He was now wearing a military uniform and looked even more conspicuously tall and handsome. That elderly doctor had met Reynolds in the past. Now, after seeing the human-shaped Reynolds, he looked ecstatic. "Mr. Reynolds has really recovered? Jones, did you come up with a method to make the fallen beasts recover?"
 
“Reynolds has recovered, but the method isn’t what I think up. It’s what ​​His Imperial Highness the Crown Princess thought up." Jones replied.
 
This matter of restoring the fallen beasts’ beast cores could not be concealed, and there was no need to conceal it either. As for the treatment method, Edgar and company had already discussed it.
 
This honor was definitely to be given to Shu Shu. Moreover, Shu Shu should be given prominence when this matter was made public.
 
"Her Imperial Highness the Crown Princess and I have researched a method to help the fallen beasts restore their beast cores, and we’ve even come up with a research direction . . . . We had no way to experiment before, but after crashing onto the Fallen Beast Planet, we got the experimental conditions, and Her Imperial Highness the Crown Princess succeeded. I’m very ashamed because I didn’t help with anything from start to finish.” Jones said.
 
The medical personnel knew that Jones had been researching a way to restore the fallen beasts’ beast cores. When they saw that Reynolds had recovered, they thought it was the result of Jones’ research. But unexpectedly, Jones actually told them this . . . .
 
The crown princess was actually so amazing? Wasn’t it said that he was just a sub-beastman who came from a remote planet without learning or skills and could only study in the bridal class?
 
Rumors really couldn’t be trusted!
 
"The crown princess can actually discover such a method! It’s really amazing!" The doctor looked at Shu Shu with admiration across his whole face. "I wonder if you can let me learn it? Your Imperial Highness, you can rest assured, I’m willing to be your student."
 
“Eh?" Shu Shu was somewhat at a loss. This old man wanted to worship him as a teacher?
 
"I’m afraid that it’s quite difficult." Jones shook his head. "Her Imperial Highness the Crown Princess’ innate skill is healing. Moreover . . . His Little Highness’ eggshell was used to help Reynolds recover."
 
It turned out to be this way? The matter was actually so troublesome? The doctor looked disappointed but quickly spoke again, "Even so, this is a monumental happy event. I believe that Her Imperial Highness the Crown Princess will definitely go down in history."
 
He would go down in history? Well, wasn’t he more amazing than Myer then? Shu Shu opened his eyes wide with joy.
 
However, his joy did not last long before his whole person froze.
 
Did not know when, but the little snake had climbed to his side by getting into his trouser leg and then crawling along his leg . . . .
 
Shu Shu absolutely didn't dare to move. Fortunately, Edgar reacted quickly and immediately grabbed the little snake’s tail and pulled him out—he would never allow others to take advantage of his own sub-beastman, even if it was his own son!
 
"Edgar, you’re so good!" Shu Shu gave Edgar a grateful look and hugged Edgar.
 
Those people who had come down from the spaceships saw this scene from a distance, and they were extremely moved. The crown princess was really great. He never left even if His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince had become a fallen beast, and he even discovered the method of restoring the beast core!
 
His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince would definitely recover, and then he would live happily forever with Her Imperial Highness the Crown Princess!

85. The Fallen Beasts Can Recover
 

Ian found out that there were spaceships landing, and Edgar over there naturally found out too. However, Edgar and Shu Shu did not know the details because the two of them were cultivating.
 
After not having to help the fallen beasts restore their beast cores, Shu Shu could save a lot of spiritual power, and he generously gave all that spiritual power to Edgar, accelerating Edgar’s recovery speed and eventually making his injuries completely healed.
 
Just today, a ball of spiritual energy re-appeared within Edgar’s body.
 
Although it was just a ball of spiritual energy that most likely needed a long time to become a nèidān, but this was already a very good start. Edgar finally felt relieved.
 
Even though he had never shown anything, but in fact, he had always been very anxious, dreading being unable to cultivate anymore. Now, he could actually set his heart at rest.
 
As a matter of fact, Edgar’s worry was indeed correct. If an ordinary daemon was seriously injured and lost his/her nèidān, it was very difficult for him/her to re-cultivate it. Edgar, however, had the blood of a mythological animal as well as someone who kept helping him to heal, so the situation was also substantially different.
 
Controlling the spiritual power in his body to circulate over and over, the circulation speed was getting faster and faster, and the spiritual power gathered was also increasing . . . . Edgar was cultivating incessantly when he suddenly discovered that some spiritual power had entered his body and promptly merged with the ball of spiritual energy in his body, making the ball of spiritual energy in his body enlarge in just a short time.
 
Edgar opened his eyes and found that Shu Shu was inputting spiritual power into him again . . . . Sighing, Edgar used his tail to write on the side, "You have a child in your belly; don't use your spiritual power on me."
 
"It’s okay. I’ve left enough spiritual power for the child!" Shu Shu smiled at Edgar.
 
Although Shu Shu said so, but Edgar could not help but feel distressed, especially after he saw that Shu Shu’s belly only protruded slightly even after so much time had passed. He felt sorry for the child and even more sorry for Shu Shu.
 
Shu Shu conceived his second child right after he had just given birth to the first one. This was actually harmful to the body. And now the child was even prevented from absorbing the needed spiritual power as much as he liked . . . . Edgar always felt that he had treated them badly.
 
When this child came out, he had to treat him well, and he had to treat Shu Shu well, too. Edgar put his tail on Shu Shu's belly and gently caressed and stroked Shu Shu's belly back and forth while inputting the spiritual power in his body into Shu Shu's belly.
 
His spiritual power had just run into the "tumor" in Shu Shu's belly, and it  was at once absorbed clean by the tumor. It could be seen that the child was lacking spiritual power very much.
 
Edgar felt even guiltier. Shu Shu, on the contrary, did not care about it. "Don’t worry. Lacking spiritual power only makes him grow a little slower. It’s fine. You have so little spiritual power; you better keep it." Although his belly had hurt for a while, but he did not feel anything now. Clearly, the child was growing very well.
 
"I think you should stop worrying about me. I’m already good now. Such a small amount of spiritual power can be re-cultivated quickly." Edgar really wanted to kiss Shu Shu, but he was a snake, a thick and big snake to boot. How could he go and kiss Shu Shu? In the end, he could only use his snake tail to scratch the hollow of Shu Shu’s palm.
 
"Humph!" Hearing Edgar's words, Shu Shu could not help but snorted. He had been envious of Edgar's cultivation speed for a long, long time!
 
Edgar rubbed against Shu Shu and once again coiled his body around Shu Shu. Shu Shu was not so afraid of him now, and the little snake was not here, so they could get intimate.
 
However, they had not stayed intimate for long when they heard some roaring and howling outside—the fallen beasts did not dare to come in, so they called them from the outside with roars and howls.
 
"Let's go take a look." Shu Shu said. He did not take a step, though. Rather, he waited until Edgar went out before following behind Edgar. There were so many beasts outside, so he definitely had to hide behind Edgar.
 
Edgar barely stepped out, and he already saw a lot of fallen beasts surrounding the dugout entrance impatiently while roaring in succession. However, as soon as he appeared, these fallen beasts all quietened down and began to write on the ground.
 
Edgar bowed his head to take a quick look and found that they wrote . . . saw some spaceships?
 
These fallen beasts said that they saw several spaceships landing together. Edgar almost instantly thought of Chris. His father would definitely make every effort to find them after they disappeared. It was not unexpected for him to come here to look for them.
 
Jonathan wanted to destroy the spaceship completely, but how could things be that simple? Moreover, when Edgar launched the lifepod to drift in the universe, he deliberately kicked some spaceship fragments out in order to facilitate Chris to find them.
 
After Edgar read all the words written by these fallen beasts, he gathered a ball of spiritual power in his throat and then spoke, "We’ll wait first."
 
"Rowr!" The fallen beasts stepped back and looked around guardedly, wanting to know where the voice came from.
 
"It's me." Edgar's tail tapped the ground.
 
The fallen beasts gazed straight at Edgar. Fallen beasts were only able to make animal sounds. They had communicated with each other for a long time, but even though they had figured out their own communication methods via animal sounds, it was absolutely impossible for them if they wanted to speak. But now, Edgar could speak!
 
It was really amazing!
 
Edgar knew that if Chris was coming, it certainly wouldn’t take long for Chris to find him. So he did not eagerly go out to find the man and just waited here instead. Shu Shu also thought the same.
 
And Chris was indeed rushing over here at this moment. Only, he did not come to find Edgar right away but went to find his grandson first.
 
He had been longing for a grandson for so many years. Naturally, he wanted to see his grandson more than his son. His grandson had broken the shell! At present, even if he kept busy without stopping to sleep or rest for a few more days, he definitely wouldn’t feel tired.
 
Reynolds and company were not far from Ian. They also had communication devices on their hands, and the communication devices could also send out signals. Chris had the aircraft follow the signal to find their location.
 
Reynolds and Jones were accompanying the little snake to play today. The lion Jesse had tried his best to explain numerous ways of taking care of a little beastman. For example, what to eat, how much water to drink, how to deal with a pooping little beastman, and so on.
 
Jesse had experience looking after children, but taking care of the little beastman who was a different race was not the same. The little snake was overactive, and they were still flustered somewhat . . . . Naturally, this made Jesse unable to control his body, and so, from time to time, a big change would happen on his person. Because of this, Reynolds and Jones often needed to look after the little snake. Reynolds even had to cover Jesse with a blanket when Jesse suddenly turned into a human—he would not let his sub-beastman see another man's naked appearance!
 
Accidentally, the little snake pooped again. After he pooped, he was still in his human form, which was a white, plump baby and especially troublesome to deal with. Unfortunately, Jesse had turned into a lion at this time. Reynolds could only let Jesse write how to handle it on the ground and then nervously dealt with the little snake according to Jesse’s instructions.
 
His own little beastman had not been born yet, and he actually had to take care of others’ child first. After Reynolds, with stiff movements, cleaned up the little snake, he could not help but ask Jesse, "This little snake’s really troublesome! Is a wolf-shaped little beastman also troublesome like this?"

Jones, who was standing on the side, heard these words and did not hesitate to pinch Reynolds' arm. Then he said, "Why did you ask this? If you don't want to take care of the little snake, let me hold the child."
 
Saying so, Jones reached out to pick the child in Reynolds' hands, but Reynolds did not let him—how could he let his own sub-beastman hold another beastman? It was out of the question even if it was just a small beastman. He did not like the scent of others on Jones’ body.
 
Reynolds was dodging Jones, and the little beastman in his arms peed on him. Reynolds’ chest was immediately wet, and he strongly smelled like the little snake from head to toe . . . .
 
Reynolds was gloomy. Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, he saw the scene of a spaceship landing. He and Jones glanced at each other and thought about going together.
 
Ian was the empress, and Edgar was the crown prince. Now that there was a spaceship coming, it was surely coming to find them!
 
So, they could leave this place?
 
Reynolds’ clothes were wet with pee, yet he forgot to change them. He just stared at the place where the spaceship landed with a complicated mood.
 
He had been on the Fallen Beast Planet for thirty years. During those thirty years, mind-boggling changes might have taken place outside. What would he encounter when he returned outside? Could he still provide Jones with a good life?
 
Reynolds looked a bit lifeless, and the child in his arms took advantage of this opportunity to turn into a little snake and swiftly ran away.
 
Reynolds hurriedly chased after him.
 
While they were being busy, Chris and company found them and happened to see Reynolds, whose chest was still wet, catch a little snake with claws.
 
Chris sniffed and found that the wet spot on Reynolds’ chest smelled like the little snake. It went without saying what exactly that thing was . . . .
 
"Chris, catch your grandson." Reynolds threw the little snake on his hand to Chris.
 
Chris reached out with his hand to catch the little snake and raised his head to look at Reynolds. Even if he made a supreme effort to suppress it, his face still showed a happy expression. "I didn't expect that I can see you again." After Reynolds had become a fallen beast, he met with Reynolds and suggested that he could help Reynolds obtain a better living environment, but Reynolds refused and only asked him to take good care of Jones.
 
From that time on, he thought he would never see Reynolds again. But unexpectedly, thirty years later, he actually saw Reynolds again, and Reynolds even kept the human form.
 
Reynolds had recovered and was no longer a fallen beast!
 
Chris could not help but get excited. The good news he got today was really too much . . . . Carrying the little snake in his arms, he suddenly had an urge to thank God.
 
"General Reynolds!" Chris' assistant was shocked to see Reynolds—what the hell did he see? He saw General Reynolds, who had become a fallen beast, standing in front of him, perfectly all right!
 
Hadn’t General Reynolds become a fallen beast? Why was he perfectly all right now?
 
Many people followed behind Chris. Before, these people were already very, very surprised when they saw the leopard Bauer suddenly turn into a human. They did not understand why a beastman would appear on the Fallen Beast Planet. Now, seeing Reynolds, they were shocked speechless.
 
What exactly was going on? Could the fallen beasts recover?
 
When they first landed on the Fallen Beast Planet, they still fretted, worrying that they would get attacked by the fallen beasts. But now . . . .
 
The empress being fine was a big happy event, but the fact that the fallen beasts were able to recover . . . . This was simply a huge bomb that could absolutely blow up the entire Beastman Empire!
 
The difficult problem that had perplexed the Beastman Empire for countless years was now solved?
