Unedited chapter
92. Recovery and Childbirth
Edgar's mood actually hadn’t been too good these days.
To begin with, shortly after he and Shu Shu got married should be their honeymoon period. Unfortunately, they encountered messy things, and his beast core was broken, so that he could not even eat his spouse.
Many fallen beasts became muddle-headed after holding back for a long time. Now that he was cultivating every day, he actually didn’t become muddle-headed, but he was definitely not happy and also had an urge to fight with others to vent his feelings.
Only, no one would fight him. Those fallen beasts, who all hoped for Shu Shu to save them, would definitely not fight him. As for going hunting . . . . They were in the desert, and there were no prey around them.
Edgar had been holding back for quite a long time. Now, seeing some people come to deliver themselves for a beating, he was naturally a little excited.
As the huge snake rushed down from the aircraft, the aircraft's protective cover rose.
Shu Shu and the little snake were protected on the aircraft, but Edgar went outside . . . . For a moment, Shu Shu had his heart in his throat as well as brimming with anger at the fallen beasts outside.
These guys were actually going to hurt them! They were really too vile!
Shu Shu was both frightened and very angry. His body could not stop shaking, yet he did not forget to pay attention to the situation outside. Then, to his surprise, he saw that none of the fallen beasts outside were Edgar's opponents. It did not take long before all of them were sent sprawling to the ground.
Half of the fallen beasts headed by the snake had been flattened by Edgar. A goshawk who tried to sneak attack Edgar from the sky got his wings torn off, and all the fallen beasts with legs had their legs and feet snapped off.
His heartbeat had not even calmed down, and the fight was already over . . . . Shu Shu opened his mouth slightly and recovered his senses a little.
After Edgar had sorted out those fallen beasts, he returned to the aircraft. He took out a communication device with very strong signal from the aircraft and sent a message to the spaceship left on the Fallen Beast Planet, telling a group of people over there to come and catch these fallen beasts back while asking Reynolds to reorganize the data of all the fallen beasts on the Fallen Beast Planet.
Regarding the incident today, it really needed to be said that Edgar had in fact anticipated it since long ago.
There were good and bad fallen beasts on the Fallen Beast Planet. It was impossible for him and Shu Shu to help all of them to restore their beast cores. In this case, those fallen beasts who could not become beastmen again would definitely be resentful.
He and Reynolds had long thought about finding an excuse to do a big purge of all the fallen beasts, and now this excuse happened to be delivered to their hands.
"It's nothing. Let's go." Edgar hung up the communication device in his hand and turned his gaze toward Shu Shu. Having disposed of those irksome guys and vented the suffocation in his heart, it was time for him and Shu Shu to live in a two-person world now.
"Oh . . ." Shu Shu nodded and started the aircraft again. He had familiarized himself with flying the aircraft for some time, and now his flying was very smooth.
After flying for a while, Shu Shu finally recovered his senses and stated indignantly, "Those fallen beasts are so vile that they even took shots at us! But they’re also stupid. With so much difference in strength, they still came out to make exhibitions of themselves." How terrible Jonathan and his tricks were, ah! That guy almost sent them to death. And these fallen beasts? They seemed to be particularly stupid . . . .
"Generally, all fallen beasts are quite stupid." Edgar said. The brains of the fallen beasts would degenerate, and their strength would also decrease. More often than not, they were all quite stupid. Those guys undoubtedly dared to take shots because they were so desperate they felt like taking a risk.
Speaking of, Reynolds was able to live this long after becoming a fallen beast, and there were still so many surviving fallen beasts on this planet at present. Although most of the fallen beasts had degenerated to some extent, but their situation was not serious at all. This really made people feel very amazed.
You had to know that at the beginning, the fallen beasts who were sent to the Fallen Beast Planet could only live for a few years or a few decades before they died, and they might degenerate into real beasts before dying. It was because of this that the Beastman Empire had never paid attention to this place . . . .
Edgar had always been wondering about this. Only after he had eaten the aquatic plants did he finally had a little conjecture.
There were not many things on the Fallen Beast Planet, but spiritual power was very abundant. He reckoned that this was exactly the reason the fallen beasts here were able to prolong their lives and delay the degeneration stage.
As for why it was only after Reynolds’ arrival would there be such a change . . . . Before Reynolds came here, the fallen beasts on the Fallen Beast Planet did not hunt and only lived on food sent by the Beastman Empire.
Sitting on the aircraft, Edgar saw a planet that was still very primitive yet full of vitality.
This planet was in fact not useless at all.
Edgar already had such a notion in his heart, and then, after he and Shu Shu flew the aircraft all over the place to explore, this point was further confirmed.
After the aquatic plants, they found several kinds of plants as well as animals that contained spiritual power. However, contrary to what one might expect, there were no daemons who had opened their spiritual wisdom inside these plants and animals . . . . Of course, this was normal. The number of spiritual plants that could be used for alchemy had always been a lot, but how many of them had been able to cultivate into plant daemons in total?
The area where Shu Shu and company had crashed was in the desert, but after traveling for a while, they could see a vast stretch of green, and the surrounding spiritual power was also abundant. The spiritual power on some mountain range was even more abundant, making Shu Shu wish he could become a long-term resident there.
If the spiritual power on the earth was some dried out grass seeds for Shu Shu and could barely fill his stomach, and the spiritual power on the Gass Planet and in the Capital Star was a rich home-cooked meal, which not only made his stomach full but also satisfied his desire for good food, then the spiritual power on the Fallen Beast Planet was a sumptuous banquet plus a houseful of snacks.
"The spiritual power on this mountain’s so abundant!" Shu Shu stopped the aircraft next to a mountain and stated emotionally as he looked at the mountain.
Edgar felt the same way. He got off the aircraft, straightened out his coiled body, and absorbed the surrounding spiritual power joyfully. Each piece of his scales felt as comfortable as being brushed with a small brush.
"Let's go search the mountain. Maybe we can find the spirit grass again!" Shu Shu looked very eager to give it a try. Although he said "maybe", but in fact . . . he felt that he could definitely find the spirit grass.
There were no cultivators on this planet. Fallen beasts and ordinary animals could not feel the existence of spiritual power, so the spirit grass was basically well preserved.
Edgar moved his snake head, swept Shu Shu up, and went towards the mountain.
Shu Shu sat on the snake's body, waist circled by the snake and holding a case containing the little snake in his hand. He looked at everything around him with exhilaration as he traveled through the woods. He was very excited when he found that there was a sound of activity coming from ahead. "It seems like there’s another animal coming!"
Indeed, there was another animal coming. It was a creature that looked a bit ugly and had no bones in its body, an indigenous animal of this planet. They were not small in size, but their strength was far from great. These days, Shu Shu and Edgar had already come across many of those, which ultimately became their Chinese food.
This one . . . was also no exception.
This animal looked unattractive, but it actually tasted pretty good. Shu Shu and Edgar continued to walk forward after feeding their stomachs to the full. Sure enough, they found another spirit grass after walking for a while.
What made them feel quite depressed was that they actually didn't recognize this spirit grass! Maybe it should be mentioned that so far, they had not found any spirit grass they recognized.
However, although they basically didn’t recognize these spirit grasses, but most of these grasses could be eaten directly, and they really didn’t need to take a lot of trouble to consider doing alchemy.
"Edgar, the spiritual power of this spirit grass is very abundant. You eat it, okay?" Shu Shu passed on the spirit grass in his hand to Edgar while he himself took out the aquatic plant obtained from the lake previously. He then tore off a small piece of the plant and put it into his mouth to eat.
Finding the spirit grass was definitely something that made them very, very happy, but there were also places that made Shu Shu very depressed. For example . . . he could not eat too much spirit grass ever.
Anyway, even if he ate less, he still received a huge benefit. The egg in his body was getting bigger and bigger and showing signs of about to be born.
Edgar did not decline and directly swallowed the grass down into his stomach. Shu Shu had been getting some benefits lately and did not need to worry about insufficient spiritual power anymore. Meanwhile, the benefits he got were much more than Shu Shu.
At that time on the Gass planet, although his cultivation speed was very fast, but it still took him several months to finally reach the jīndān period. Now though . . . he could already hit the jīndān period only after several days of effort! Because he had already encountered the lightning tribulation, his body had long been tempered, and he did not have to worry about his foundation being unstable.
After swallowing the spirit grass down into his stomach, a streak of spiritual power suddenly exploded inside Edgar's body. He quickly circulated the spiritual power in his body and soon absorbed this streak of spiritual power completely. At this time, the spiritual power in his dāntián, that had long become liquid, was already very, very concentrated.
When he encountered the lightning tribulation before, this was what it looked like inside his body.
Edgar was just thinking so, and the liquid spiritual power in his body suddenly began to condense . . . . Was he going to advance to the jīndān period?
Thinking of the lightning tribulation he had encountered before, Edgar did not hesitate to keep away from Shu Shu. Now that he had learned a lot of cultivation knowledge, he certainly wouldn’t think about taking Shu Shu with him to avoid the lightning tribulation.
"Edgar, what’re you doing?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar with confusion and then quickly thought of one thing. "You . . . you’re going to advance, right?" All the surrounding spiritual power seemed to rush forth toward Edgar over there?
Edgar did not speak and started to cultivate on an area far from Shu Shu instead. More and more spiritual power was drawn by him and entered his body, yet the ball of liquid spiritual power in his dāntián became more and more small and was eventually compressed into a solid.
A jīndān reappeared in Edgar's body, spinning around and around. This thing was not the same as the beast core, but its function was similar.
He could become a human again.
Edgar felt his heart lifted up with joy and then realized . . . . He did not seem to have encountered the lightning tribulation?
This was truly a good thing . . . . Edgar uncoiled his snake body and stopped cultivating.
"Edgar, was it unsuccessful?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar a little depressedly. He very much wanted Edgar to become a human sooner, but now it seemed that . . . it was another failure?
"No, it’s successful." Edgar's voice came out, and the huge snake instantly became a man.
"Great!" Shu Shu ran to Edgar excitedly. Edgar finally became a man again! Later on, he could let Edgar hold him to sleep every day without being troubled by such a thing like Edgar's scales being too cold and hard making him feel uncomfortable.
Yeah, it was great. Edgar held Shu Shu in his arms and was in a very good mood. He became a beastman again and, at long last, no longer needed to be upset about things like being unable to hold Shu Shu.
More importantly, he could finally do some intimate stuff with Shu Shu.
He had two children already, but he and Shu Shu's "intimate" days only amounted to dozens of days. He felt miserable just by thinking about it.
Shu Shu threw himself at Edgar and wrapped his legs around Edgar's waist, making Edgar support him by the buttocks as he kissed Edgar's face. "You’ll fly the aircraft later, and you’ll take care of the child too. You . . ."
Halfway through his speech, Shu Shu suddenly stopped talking, and his brows started to wrinkle even more.
"What's wrong?" Edgar looked at Shu Shu anxiously, for fear that Shu Shu felt uncomfortable somewhere.
"My stomach hurts." Shu Shu touched his bulging belly. His belly had grown rapidly in the past few days, and now it suddenly hurt . . . . This felt . . . like he was going to give birth?
Just thinking about it, Shu Shu felt like he was having diarrhea in addition to his stomach ache. At the same time, a stream of fluid flowed out from between his thighs and wetted Edgar's hands, which were holding him.
Shu Shu stiffened all over as he felt something sliding down . . . .
"I'm going to shit! You quickly let me go!" Shu Shu shouted anxiously.
The incident happened so fast that Edgar failed to react somewhat. However, he had already experienced it once after all, so when he got a whiff of the smell of the fluid, he immediately realized that Shu Shu should be about to give birth.
Shu Shu was going to give birth! Edgar was a little stupid as he subconsciously sat down on the ground, placing Shu Shu on his lap.
There was more and more fluid flowing out from between Shu Shu's thighs. He shed his pants without waiting for Edgar to do it, and there was something inside.
"Fortunately, I wore loose pants today . . ." Having given birth to the child, Shu Shu momentarily relaxed and could not help blurting out.
". . ." Edgar no longer knew what to say. He took off Shu Shu's pants and took an egg out of them.
Xiao Bao’s birth at that time had been very sudden, making people caught off guard. He did not expect that the second birth was even faster . . . . In an instant of labor, he had another child.
"You look after the egg. I'm going to change my pants." Completely without any consciousness of having just given birth to a child, Shu Shu picked up his own pants from the ground, freed himself from Edgar, and got up. He was going to change pants.
Edgar finally came to his senses at this moment. He carried Shu Shu in his arms and walked over to the aircraft—his sub-beastman had just given birth to a child and should be taken care of!
He had to take good care of Shu Shu this time.
92. Recovery and Childbirth
Edgar's mood actually hadn’t been too good these days.
To begin with, shortly after he and Shu Shu got married should be their honeymoon period. Unfortunately, they encountered messy things, and his beast core was broken, so that he could not even eat his spouse.

Edgar was just thinking so, and the liquid spiritual power in his body suddenly began to condense . . . . Was he going to advance to the jīndān period?
Thinking of the lightning tribulation he had encountered before, Edgar did not hesitate to keep away from Shu Shu. Now that he had learned a lot of cultivation knowledge, he certainly wouldn’t think about taking Shu Shu with him to avoid the lightning tribulation.
"Edgar, what’re you doing?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar with confusion and then quickly thought of one thing. "You . . . you’re going to advance, right?" All the surrounding spiritual power seemed to rush forth toward Edgar over there?

He could become a human again.
Edgar felt his heart lifted up with joy and then realized . . . . He did not seem to have encountered the lightning tribulation?
This was truly a good thing . . . . Edgar uncoiled his snake body and stopped cultivating.
"Edgar, was it unsuccessful?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar a little depressedly. He very much wanted Edgar to become a human sooner, but now it seemed that . . . it was another failure?
"No, it’s successful." Edgar's voice came out, and the huge snake instantly became a man.
"Great!" Shu Shu ran to Edgar excitedly. Edgar finally became a man again! Later on, he could let Edgar hold him to sleep every day without being troubled by such a thing like Edgar's scales being too cold and hard making him feel uncomfortable.
Yeah, it was great. Edgar held Shu Shu in his arms and was in a very good mood. He became a beastman again and, at long last, no longer needed to be upset about things like being unable to hold Shu Shu.
More importantly, he could finally do some intimate stuff with Shu Shu.
He had two children already, but he and Shu Shu's "intimate" days only amounted to dozens of days. He felt miserable just by thinking about it.
Shu Shu threw himself at Edgar and wrapped his legs around Edgar's waist, making Edgar support him by the buttocks as he kissed Edgar's face. "You’ll fly the aircraft later, and you’ll take care of the child too. You . . ."

He had to take good care of Shu Shu this time.

A Guide to - 91
Unedited chapter
91. Learning to Fly an Aircraft
Shu Shu always knew that his own talent was poor, but he really didn't expect that it could actually be so poor.
Just by eating a little bit of aquatic plants with spiritual power, he was actually driven to reveal his original shape because he was unable to absorb the spiritual power inside those plants.
It was truly humiliating. Edgar had obviously eaten so much yet was fine, and so was the little snake. Why when it was his turn . . . . Shu Shu was so angry that both his cheeks puffed up.
The chaotic spiritual power inside Shu Shu’s body finally calmed down with Edgar’s assistance. In addition, most of the spiritual power was absorbed by the child in Shu Shu’s belly . . . . Shu Shu still maintained the shape of a little hamster though, lying flat on his back looking skyward and pretending to be dead.
"Where else do you feel uncomfortable?" Edgar asked worriedly.
There was no uncomfortable place, just did not want to move . . . . Shu Shu glanced at Edgar gloomily. Edgar was a very talented mythological animal, while he was a daemon hamster with very poor talent. The gap was really huge, making him want to bite Edgar again.
However, his teeth could not bite Edgar at all . . . . So maddening!
When Edgar saw the little hamster open his liquid dark eyes and grind his teeth yet looking pain-free, he knew that Shu Shu should have no big problem and was only unhappy. So he immediately shifted the subject, "I’ll grill you some fish to eat?"
Having heard what was said, the little hamster turned over and sat up, nodding aloofly. His body was hurt by the rampaging spiritual power; after the pain, he was really hungry . . . .
Although Edgar was currently a fallen beast, but his situation was much better than when he had just met Shu Shu. After all, he had claws now. Edgar cleaned up the fish with his little short claws and directly grilled them on the solar grill.
The grill was not only solar-powered but could also detect the condition of the food and adjust its temperature accordingly. There was no need to worry about the fish getting scorched. As a result, Edgar did not encounter any trouble when grilling the fish and soon had a fish ready. He put it on a plate and then placed the plate in front of the little hamster.
Shu Shu, who had become a hamster and was much smaller than the fish Edgar caught, smelled the fragrance that came out of the grilled fish. He could not wait to climb onto the plate while sniffing the fragrance that filled the air intoxicatingly. After the grilled fish had cooled down, he went straight into the fish belly and then ate the meat on it.
Edgar left two fish for Shu Shu and then put the other two fish into the food processor, turning them into a thick paste for the little snake placed in the box.
The two fish for the little snake’s meal did not have too many seasonings. As for the taste, it could only be described as bland. However, the little snake did not reject it at all and was extremely pleased with his meal.
Shu Shu was also very satisfied with his meal. At the same time, because he got into the fish belly, his body was now full of the smell of grilled fish and looked like a delicious plush ball.
It was too slow to eat like this . . . . Shu Shu gnawed at the fish for a long time and only managed to consume a little. In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned back into a human shape. He put on clothes, took a seat next to the table, and started to gorge himself . . . . In fact, his speed was not much faster. When he was being a hamster, the fish bones were very big for him and quite easy to avoid. But now that he had turned into a person, the fish bones became very troublesome.
"Was it enough?" Edgar asked.
"Enough." Shu Shu replied. After wiping his mouth, he turned his gaze toward the remaining aquatic plants. "I feel strong all over after eating it. I want to eat again . . ." Although a moment ago he had suffered unbearable pain from the rampaging spiritual power after eating too much aquatic plants, but now he felt comfortable from head to foot, making him can’t help but want to eat a little more.
Of course, he also wanted to do this to give the child in his belly a little more spiritual power—after eating the aquatic plants, his child had visibly grown bigger, and his belly also stuck out now!
"Let’s wait awhile before you eat again, and you must eat less when you eat." Edgar said. Shu Shu's situation just now had really scared him; however, eating just a little bit of aquatic plants should be good for the child.
Shu Shu nodded, agreeing with regret across his whole face. Edgar glanced at the grill next to him and suddenly said, "I'll let the men who follow us return."
"Eh? Why?" Shu Shu was a bit puzzled. He thought it was very impressive to go out with a large group of people . . . .
"Your secret can’t be known to others, so we’re just going to take a robot along." Edgar explained. Shu Shu had many secrets on his body; some of the secrets did not matter if known by others, but some others . . . had better be hidden for the time being. It was definitely more convenient for them to move without those men.
Besides, Edgar wanted to have a two-person world with Shu Shu instead of being followed by a group of people. However, his wish for a two-person world was impossible because Shu Shu refused to leave the little snake behind and was of the opinion that they could not throw the little snake to others irresponsibly.
Edgar consented.
Anyway, he was now a snake and could not do anything, so it was all right if Shu Shu wanted to take the little snake along.
Parting ways with the soldiers on the oasis, Shu Shu and Edgar got onto the best aircraft left by those men.
The aircraft had autopilot, but it required the pilot to connect to the network to choose a route. Since there was no network on the Fallen Beast Planet, the autopilot was naturally useless.
"Shu Shu, how about you learn to fly an aircraft?" Edgar proposed.
"I can’t, ah!" Shu Shu refused at once. He had not even ridden a bicycle; how could he directly fly such a high-end aircraft?
"Actually, flying an aircraft is very simple . . ." Edgar started to explain to Shu Shu.
Science and technology could liberate human beings. Naturally, many things were becoming simpler and easier to use. The modes of transportation were also the same. The aircraft of the Beastman Empire was much better than human cars—it was pre-installed with many functions such as the ability to automatically get out of the way when there were obstacles ahead and the ability to keep the body of the aircraft steady to ensure that people who were unable to pilot would not get into a traffic accident.
Shu Shu immediately felt reassured after hearing of these two functions. He pressed down the power switch to start the aircraft without the slightest hesitation and then, holding the steering wheel, started to speed up.
In order to avoid being stared at by the strange birds in the sky, Shu Shu flew the aircraft only a few meters from the ground. His grasp of the steering wheel was not so good, so that the aircraft nearly ran into trees and rocks several times. But he did not need to worry at all because every time he was about to bump into things and at imminent peril, the aircraft was able to get out of the way by itself.
Really . . . it was so fun!
Shu Shu felt like he was playing a game. He slowed down the speed of the aircraft to hover in the desert.
This oasis was not far from the area where Shu Shu and others lived. Shu Shu’s area had been very lively recently, and it was inevitable that there were fallen beasts who came to the oasis for a rest.
At this moment, a group of fallen beasts came near this oasis. They glanced at the direction of the oasis and finally sat in the desert to eat the captured prey. These were the group of fallen beasts in the mountain and the hyena who had come to inform them.
The fallen beasts in this group radiated an aura of violence, and the snake fallen beast who took the lead looked incomparably gloomy and cold and seemed to carry a murderous aura. As they ate, they began to communicate.
They had been associates for quite a long time, and they had their own communication methods. The low growls and text allowed them to have a relatively fast-paced chat.
"Aldous, the crown prince and the crown princess are really in that oasis? What shall we do next?" A cat fallen beast turned his gaze toward their boss.
The huge snake beast tapped the ground with his tail. "We must think of a way to save ourselves."
These fallen beasts had all violated the law. Some were downright criminals; they broke their beast cores and became fallen beasts while they were committing a crime or when they were arrested. Some were those who were resentful after becoming fallen beasts; they tried to take revenge and ended up committing a crime. According to reason, fallen beasts like them should be put in prison. But since they were fallen beasts . . . and considering that the Beastman Empire had not prepared a prison for fallen beasts, the people in the upper level of the Empire simply sent them to the Fallen Beast Planet.
Before Reynolds came to the Fallen Beast Planet, such criminals named themselves kings and lorded over the Fallen Beast Planet because they were the most vicious of all. But after Reynolds came, these men were all defeated and could only went into hiding with their tails between their legs. Later, when there were criminals coming, they would be driven away by Reynolds.
This group of fallen beasts understood well that it was clearly impossible for the crown princess to save them with his method of restoring the beast core . . . . Even if Shu Shu was willing to save them, so many people were waiting for Shu Shu to save them. Maybe it would take another hundred years before it was their turn. Therefore, they could only try to save themselves.
"What’s the method?" Someone asked.
"As long as we can grab that Shu Shu, we don’t need to worry about anything else." Aldous wrote on the ground, the snake's vertical pupils narrowing and flashing with cold light.
Along the way, they had asked numerous people about the crown prince and the crown princess and learned many things about Edgar and Shu Shu.
The crown prince was very strong before, but he was just a fallen beast now. Meanwhile, there was a child in the crown princess' belly. So it was not difficult at all to catch them. After catching them, they might be able to become beastmen!
Even if they could not become beastmen . . . . Since they could not recover, it was best that others did not recover either!
Since they had decided on such a plan, they had been tracking Edgar and Shu Shu's whereabouts these days.
These people were just discussing about it, and a goshawk fallen beast suddenly flew over from a distance and then landed in front of Aldous. "The men who followed the crown prince and the crown princess have all gone back, but the crown prince and the crown princess remain in the oasis!
There was still such a good thing? The eyes of these fallen beasts lit up. Just then, they saw an aircraft streaked across the sky and flew away crookedly.
"That's His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince's aircraft." The goshawk fallen beast wrote a sentence on the ground, somewhat stupid. It took them a lot of effort to come up here, and they just happened to run into the crown prince and the crown princess whom were left alone. As a result, before they even started, those two men ran away?
This was so unfair!
These fallen beasts were in a very bad mood. At this moment, they saw the aircraft that had gone away unexpectedly fly back again.
"Let's chase it." Aldous shook his tail and motioned everyone to catch up. But, how could they chase such a fine aircraft? Their feet had all worn down from running, and they still hadn’t caught up with the aircraft, whose flying speed was actually not fast at all.
This aircraft flew crookedly and kept flying back and forth in the sky. They totally couldn’t make out where it was going to go. Sometimes they chased after it with much toil for a while only to see the aircraft above their heads directly turn round and go back. It simply made them feel like spitting out a mouthful of blood.
After doing their utmost to chase, Aldous just wanted to give up. At this moment, the aircraft suddenly stopped in front of them.
Shu Shu had long found that there were fallen beasts following him, and he felt very helpless toward this. He did not know how to deal with the fallen beasts who worshiped him and wanted to please him, so he simply ignored them. He thought they would surely give up after a while, but unexpectedly, these people were surprisingly very tenacious and continued to chase him without stopping.
Running around like this, the bodies of these fallen beasts would be in trouble . . . . Shu Shu thought about going down to have a good chat with them and make them abandon this idea of running after the aircraft.
After the aircraft stopped, Shu Shu shouted at those people, "Hey, you all don't run after me!"
Aldous, leading the fallen beasts, slowly approached the aircraft. He knew that the crown prince and the crown princess certainly didn’t recognize them, so they could completely pretend to be ordinary fallen beasts . . . .
"I'm going to leave this place. You go stay in the oasis, okay? Don't follow me." Shu Shu said again, trying not to look at Aldous as much as possible. He was afraid of snakes after all.
As a result, a wolf-shaped fallen beast beside Aldous suddenly jumped up and pounced on Shu Shu.
"Ah!" Shu Shu cried out in fear. At the same time, Edgar swished his snake tail and struck the huge wolf straight away.
Aldous had already launched an attack at this time and even sprayed his venom directly, but it was blocked before it fell on Shu Shu’s body. He did not know what the hell was blocking the venom.
A group of fallen beasts came over and surrounded the aircraft, wholeheartedly trying to do something big. Edgar looked at them with scorn and excitement in his eyes.
91. Learning to Fly an Aircraft
Shu Shu always knew that his own talent was poor, but he really didn't expect that it could actually be so poor.
Just by eating a little bit of aquatic plants with spiritual power, he was actually driven to reveal his original shape because he was unable to absorb the spiritual power inside those plants.
It was truly humiliating. Edgar had obviously eaten so much yet was fine, and so was the little snake. Why when it was his turn . . . . Shu Shu was so angry that both his cheeks puffed up.
The chaotic spiritual power inside Shu Shu’s body finally calmed down with Edgar’s assistance. In addition, most of the spiritual power was absorbed by the child in Shu Shu’s belly . . . . Shu Shu still maintained the shape of a little hamster though, lying flat on his back looking skyward and pretending to be dead.
"Where else do you feel uncomfortable?" Edgar asked worriedly.
There was no uncomfortable place, just did not want to move . . . . Shu Shu glanced at Edgar gloomily. Edgar was a very talented mythological animal, while he was a daemon hamster with very poor talent. The gap was really huge, making him want to bite Edgar again.
However, his teeth could not bite Edgar at all . . . . So maddening!
When Edgar saw the little hamster open his liquid dark eyes and grind his teeth yet looking pain-free, he knew that Shu Shu should have no big problem and was only unhappy. So he immediately shifted the subject, "I’ll grill you some fish to eat?"
Having heard what was said, the little hamster turned over and sat up, nodding aloofly. His body was hurt by the rampaging spiritual power; after the pain, he was really hungry . . . .
Although Edgar was currently a fallen beast, but his situation was much better than when he had just met Shu Shu. After all, he had claws now. Edgar cleaned up the fish with his little short claws and directly grilled them on the solar grill.
The grill was not only solar-powered but could also detect the condition of the food and adjust its temperature accordingly. There was no need to worry about the fish getting scorched. As a result, Edgar did not encounter any trouble when grilling the fish and soon had a fish ready. He put it on a plate and then placed the plate in front of the little hamster.
Shu Shu, who had become a hamster and was much smaller than the fish Edgar caught, smelled the fragrance that came out of the grilled fish. He could not wait to climb onto the plate while sniffing the fragrance that filled the air intoxicatingly. After the grilled fish had cooled down, he went straight into the fish belly and then ate the meat on it.
Edgar left two fish for Shu Shu and then put the other two fish into the food processor, turning them into a thick paste for the little snake placed in the box.
The two fish for the little snake’s meal did not have too many seasonings. As for the taste, it could only be described as bland. However, the little snake did not reject it at all and was extremely pleased with his meal.
Shu Shu was also very satisfied with his meal. At the same time, because he got into the fish belly, his body was now full of the smell of grilled fish and looked like a delicious plush ball.
It was too slow to eat like this . . . . Shu Shu gnawed at the fish for a long time and only managed to consume a little. In the end, he gritted his teeth and turned back into a human shape. He put on clothes, took a seat next to the table, and started to gorge himself . . . . In fact, his speed was not much faster. When he was being a hamster, the fish bones were very big for him and quite easy to avoid. But now that he had turned into a person, the fish bones became very troublesome.
"Was it enough?" Edgar asked.
"Enough." Shu Shu replied. After wiping his mouth, he turned his gaze toward the remaining aquatic plants. "I feel strong all over after eating it. I want to eat again . . ." Although a moment ago he had suffered unbearable pain from the rampaging spiritual power after eating too much aquatic plants, but now he felt comfortable from head to foot, making him can’t help but want to eat a little more.
Of course, he also wanted to do this to give the child in his belly a little more spiritual power—after eating the aquatic plants, his child had visibly grown bigger, and his belly also stuck out now!
"Let’s wait awhile before you eat again, and you must eat less when you eat." Edgar said. Shu Shu's situation just now had really scared him; however, eating just a little bit of aquatic plants should be good for the child.
Shu Shu nodded, agreeing with regret across his whole face. Edgar glanced at the grill next to him and suddenly said, "I'll let the men who follow us return."
"Eh? Why?" Shu Shu was a bit puzzled. He thought it was very impressive to go out with a large group of people . . . .
"Your secret can’t be known to others, so we’re just going to take a robot along." Edgar explained. Shu Shu had many secrets on his body; some of the secrets did not matter if known by others, but some others . . . had better be hidden for the time being. It was definitely more convenient for them to move without those men.
Besides, Edgar wanted to have a two-person world with Shu Shu instead of being followed by a group of people. However, his wish for a two-person world was impossible because Shu Shu refused to leave the little snake behind and was of the opinion that they could not throw the little snake to others irresponsibly.
Edgar consented.

Unedited chapter
90. Looking For Spirit Grass
A romantic candlelight dinner was prepared with the utmost care, yet it ended up frightening the man he liked . . . . Edgar coiled his massive body and sat on the side quietly with his head on top of his body; his mood was not particularly beautiful.
Although Shu Shu was startled, but he actually calmed down quickly and then sat beside the table. "Why did you make the room like this?"
"It's nothing." Edgar replied. "You’ve been in a bad mood lately, so I had the chef make you something delicious. "
"So that’s the case." Shu Shu turned his gaze toward the table and found that there was indeed a lot of fine food arranged on the table. Although it did not smell good because it was a little cold, but he did prefer to eat food that had cooled down a bit, and this one was just right.
With such a thought, Shu Shu forked a piece of meat and put it directly into his mouth. Then he narrowed his eyes contentedly—it was really delicious.
"Your mood hasn’t been too good recently. What's going on?" Seeing Shu Shu eat happily, Edgar asked.
Hearing Edgar ask this, Shu Shu, who was still very excited just now, at once looked as deflated as a balloon with no gas. "I’m indeed very worried. There’re so many fallen beasts, ah . . . . How long will it take me to restore their beast cores?"
Could he still have free time in the next ten years?
It turned out that Shu Shu was worried about this . . . . Edgar somewhat wanted to laugh, but his current physical condition made him unable to laugh, and it seemed weird to simulate the laughter with spiritual power. In the end, he only said, "You don't need to worry about this. I’ll handle this matter later on. Inevitably there’ll be a way." Once his body had completely recovered, this thing would be handled by him. How could he let Shu Shu continue to be busy all the time?
After he recovered, his spiritual power would be much stronger than Shu Shu’s, and he should be able to help those people restore their beast cores much faster.
Edgar looked at Shu Shu gently. He knew Shu Shu's character; hearing him say so, Shu Shu would surely hug him gratefully and then said, "Edgar, you’re really good," or some other words.
As a fallen beast, he could only count on such intimacy now.
However, Shu Shu did not react like what Edgar hoped for or say the words Edgar wanted to hear. On the contrary, he fixed his attention on the flower vase, unable to take his eyes off it.
Edgar could not help but feel a little nervous and then spoke again, "Aren’t these flowers very pretty?"
Flowers? Shu Shu paid attention to the flowers inserted in the vase and immediately said, "They’re not pretty at all; they’re very ugly." There were many kinds of flowers on the earth, and there were even more varieties of flowers in the Beastman Empire. As a daemon who had taken illustration lessons in the bridal class of the Imperial College, he had to say that the flowers Edgar inserted haphazardly were really very ugly.
Shu Shu stared at this flower vase, but what he actually stared at was the little grass in the flower vase.
Faint spiritual power lingered on this unremarkable little grass. Although Shu Shu did not recognize it and could not name it, but he knew that this was a spirit grass.
He had just heard from Jones and the old doctor that the Beastman Empire might have spirit grass. He did not expect to see it so soon!
As Shu Shu looked at the spirit grass with excitement, he also felt some regret. When he was on the Gass Planet, he should not have stayed only in his own small piece of land. If he had known earlier that there was spirit grass in this world, he would have definitely looked all over the place for it.
Spirit grass was a good thing that could increase cultivation, ah! If there was spirit grass, he might not need to cultivate! When Shu Shu secretly followed his owner to read a self-cultivation novel, the one he envied the most was not the protagonist who struggled arduously all the way and finally climbed to the top. Instead, it was those secondary immortals who were able to advance in rank by taking drugs.
Anyway . . . spirit grass might be useful to fallen beasts too?
Staring at the spirit grass, Shu Shu’s saliva was about to flow out.
Edgar, however, fell silent. He wanted to be a bit romantic, but as a result . . . . Obviously, his romantic preparations had utterly failed.
"From which neck of the woods did you get this grass? Are there more of this kind of grass?" Shu Shu asked Edgar while holding the spirit grass.
"It’s others who got it. I also don't know where the place is specifically." Edgar replied. "This kind of grass with spiritual power is very special?" Although this grass had spiritual power, but its spiritual power was very weak. He felt that there was nothing extraordinary about it.
"These are all treasures!" Shu Shu searched out all kinds of alchemy knowledge he had obtained from the red bead in his mind and slowly explained them.
Edgar had heard Shu Shu speak a bit about this before, but at that time, Shu Shu only mentioned it briefly. As a result, it was only now that he finally got the details.
Edgar wondered from where Shu Shu knew so many things . . . . He was very curious but did not question Shu Shu closely.
"This is indeed a good thing." Edgar agreed with what Shu Shu said and also realized the preciousness of this kind of spirit grass. "I’ll have people go look for it again."
"Beastmen who have never cultivated, even if they see a spirit grass in front of their eyes, they won’t be able to recognize it, ah!" Shu Shu said with some frustration. Suddenly, he had an idea, "Otherwise, let's go look for it together? "
"Then I’ll arrange it. "Edgar said.
"Okay." Shu Shu nodded. He knew that Edgar's so-called arrangement should be to find some people to accompany them, and he had no opinion at all on this—having servants was indeed a good thing, ah!
Edgar quickly made some arrangements. After Shu Shu woke up the next day, he was informed that he could set off at any time.
He could go out and have fun? Shu Shu at once nodded excitedly. "Let's go then!"
Edgar and Shu Shu took an aircraft and left the place where they had lived for quite a long time. After leaving, Shu Shu discovered that although he had not seen any plants because their lifepod had fallen into the desert, but other areas on this planet were actually covered with all kinds of plants. It was just that these plants did not look very good and only had a single variety.
No wonder Edgar would stick such ugly flowers in the vase before. The reality was that there were too few good-looking plants on this planet!
Shu Shu sat in the aircraft and looked at everything outside. In passing, he felt the change of spiritual power, and his mood was getting better—after they left the desert, the spiritual power in the air unexpectedly became more and more rich.
The spiritual power in the desert was richer than on the Gass planet, and the spiritual power in other areas on this planet was absolutely incomparable than on the Gass planet.
The little snake was also in a good mood. He had been staying in the desert since he was born and had never seen the outside world. Now that he suddenly saw it, he was not about to blink—snakes did not have eyelids and could not blink, but they were not real snakes, so they could blink like humans.
Edgar and Shu Shu’s first stop was the place where the soldiers had helped pick some flowers for them before. It was a large oasis located in the middle of the desert. It looked very beautiful and was alive with all kinds of living creatures . . . .
As soon as the aircraft stopped, Shu Shu jumped down from it and then strolled around the oasis excitedly. He really liked the small lake in the middle of the oasis. "The scenery here is really good . . . . Is there fish in the water?"
Edgar was silent. He knew that Shu Shu's focus always stood out from the masses.
"I'll help you catch some fish." Edgar said, the huge snake body sliding into the water right away.
Upon seeing this, Shu Shu immediately asked the soldiers who came with them to arrange the prepared table and chairs and take out the solar grill as he waited for Edgar to catch some fish back.
The time Edgar spent staying in the small lake was much longer than Shu Shu had expected, but when Edgar came out of the lake, he did live up to expectations and brought some fish back.
After Edgar crawled out of the lake with one fish in each of his four paws, he spoke to the soldiers who came with them, "There’s nothing to do here for the time being. You go eat something on the aircraft."
"Yes, Your Imperial Highness." Hearing Edgar say so, the soldiers soon left, allowing Edgar and Shu Shu to live in a two-person world.
Shu Shu only thought that Edgar made those men leave because he felt that their presence was irksome. Not thinking much about it, he picked up the fish that Edgar had caught and sorted them out while saying, "You should make them kill the fish first before letting them leave . . .” Not to mention that the fish here were strange-looking, the size was also quite big. It was not very convenient for him to handle them.
"I found something good and want to show it only to you." Edgar said, opening his mouth and abruptly spitting out some aquatic plants.
These aquatic plants looked very ordinary, but they all had spiritual power! Shu Shu was stunned seeing these aquatic plants and couldn't care less about half of the fish he had sorted out.
"The spiritual power under the water is very rich. There’s an area there where many of such aquatic plants grow." Edgar said. He initially wanted to catch some fish first after going under water just now, but then he sensed an area with very rich spiritual power, and so he went over to investigate first. Afterwards, he also picked some aquatic plants, and only before he was about to go ashore did he leisurely catch some fish.
"I don't know what this is, but it has spiritual power. Would you say that this is that kind of elixir which will increase cultivation sharply after you eat it?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar excitedly.
"I saw fish eat the surrounding aquatic plants, so this thing should be non-poisonous." Edgar said. He noticed Shu Shu's coveting look and simply ate one first. "I'll try it first."
The snake mouth was not convenient to taste, but Edgar felt that the aquatic plant should not taste good at all because it was a little rough and scraped his throat. However, after eating . . . the aquatic plant that had just been consumed entered the stomach, and a streak of spiritual power at once spread over Edgar’s chest and abdomen. This spiritual power was not particularly rich, but it was still a lot, which made Edgar feel at ease all over.
After waiting for a while, besides feeling comfortable, Edgar still had no other reaction and did not feel out of sorts the slightest either. He immediately said, "This spirit grass is edible." With that said, Edgar tore a bit of the tenderest stalk and leaves of the spirit grass and gave them to the little snake inside the small box on the side.
That's right, they took along the little snake with them on their trip this time, but the treatment that the little snake received was obviously not very good—Edgar put him in a transparent box that had been filled with water.
The simple little snake was not displeased at all; on the contrary, he loved the box very much . . . . After Edgar threw the aquatic plant in, he ate it happily.
Edgar was all right after eating it, and so was the little snake. Shu Shu also didn’t hesitate to pick up an aquatic plant and eat it.
Immediately after the aquatic plant was swallowed down into the stomach, a streak of spiritual power appeared within Shu Shu's body. Shu Shu's cultivation speed had always been very slow. Such an experience of suddenly getting so much spiritual power was particularly precious and exciting to him. He hurriedly stuffed some more aquatic plants into his mouth again.
Edgar also ate a big mouthful, and his mouth was so big that he directly ate multiple times the amount that Shu Shu ate, making Shu Shu can’t help but feel rather dissatisfied.
"There’re still a lot of aquatic plants below. If you still want to eat, I'll go and get them for you again." Edgar said.
"It’s unnecessary for now. So much spiritual power is enough for me to absorb for a long time." Shu Shu smiled at Edgar, but his face abruptly changed, and then he covered his belly.
"What happened? Stomach ache?" Edgar asked worriedly. Unexpectedly, a second later, Shu Shu abruptly turned into a little hamster in front of him.
The little hamster lay supine on the ground, staring skyward with his four feet flailing; his state looked very bad . . . . Edgar only felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to stop flowing. "Shu Shu!"
What’s the matter with Shu Shu? Weren’t those aquatic plants non-poisonous? He had eaten a lot and was obviously fine! Edgar carefully placed his snake tail on Shu Shu's belly and inputted his spiritual power into Shu Shu's body to check. Once he checked, he discovered that Shu Shu’s sudden change into the original form should be caused by the body’s inability to digest the sudden influx of energy.
The little hamster’s body was full of spiritual power brought by the aquatic plants, and under the rampaging spiritual power, the little hamster started to thrash around.
Looking at the little hamster, Edgar was extremely distressed. Unfortunately, he could not even hug him. He could only use his snake tail to gently caress and stroke the little hamster while helping him absorb the excess spiritual power.
It was at this time that Edgar discovered that the child in Shu Shu's belly seemed to be absorbing this spiritual power as well.
Moreover, this unborn child absorbed the spiritual power even faster than Shu Shu.
90. Looking For Spirit Grass
A romantic candlelight dinner was prepared with the utmost care, yet it ended up frightening the man he liked . . . . Edgar coiled his massive body and sat on the side quietly with his head on top of his body; his mood was not particularly beautiful.
Although Shu Shu was startled, but he actually calmed down quickly and then sat beside the table. "Why did you make the room like this?"
"It's nothing." Edgar replied. "You’ve been in a bad mood lately, so I had the chef make you something delicious. "
"So that’s the case." Shu Shu turned his gaze toward the table and found that there was indeed a lot of fine food arranged on the table. Although it did not smell good because it was a little cold, but he did prefer to eat food that had cooled down a bit, and this one was just right.
With such a thought, Shu Shu forked a piece of meat and put it directly into his mouth. Then he narrowed his eyes contentedly—it was really delicious.
"Your mood hasn’t been too good recently. What's going on?" Seeing Shu Shu eat happily, Edgar asked.
Hearing Edgar ask this, Shu Shu, who was still very excited just now, at once looked as deflated as a balloon with no gas. "I’m indeed very worried. There’re so many fallen beasts, ah . . . . How long will it take me to restore their beast cores?"
Could he still have free time in the next ten years?
It turned out that Shu Shu was worried about this . . . . Edgar somewhat wanted to laugh, but his current physical condition made him unable to laugh, and it seemed weird to simulate the laughter with spiritual power. In the end, he only said, "You don't need to worry about this. I’ll handle this matter later on. Inevitably there’ll be a way." Once his body had completely recovered, this thing would be handled by him. How could he let Shu Shu continue to be busy all the time?
After he recovered, his spiritual power would be much stronger than Shu Shu’s, and he should be able to help those people restore their beast cores much faster.
Edgar looked at Shu Shu gently. He knew Shu Shu's character; hearing him say so, Shu Shu would surely hug him gratefully and then said, "Edgar, you’re really good," or some other words.
As a fallen beast, he could only count on such intimacy now.
However, Shu Shu did not react like what Edgar hoped for or say the words Edgar wanted to hear. On the contrary, he fixed his attention on the flower vase, unable to take his eyes off it.
Edgar could not help but feel a little nervous and then spoke again, "Aren’t these flowers very pretty?"
Flowers? Shu Shu paid attention to the flowers inserted in the vase and immediately said, "They’re not pretty at all; they’re very ugly." There were many kinds of flowers on the earth, and there were even more varieties of flowers in the Beastman Empire. As a daemon who had taken illustration lessons in the bridal class of the Imperial College, he had to say that the flowers Edgar inserted haphazardly were really very ugly.
Shu Shu stared at this flower vase, but what he actually stared at was the little grass in the flower vase.
Faint spiritual power lingered on this unremarkable little grass. Although Shu Shu did not recognize it and could not name it, but he knew that this was a spirit grass.
He had just heard from Jones and the old doctor that the Beastman Empire might have spirit grass. He did not expect to see it so soon!
As Shu Shu looked at the spirit grass with excitement, he also felt some regret. When he was on the Gass Planet, he should not have stayed only in his own small piece of land. If he had known earlier that there was spirit grass in this world, he would have definitely looked all over the place for it.
Spirit grass was a good thing that could increase cultivation, ah! If there was spirit grass, he might not need to cultivate! When Shu Shu secretly followed his owner to read a self-cultivation novel, the one he envied the most was not the protagonist who struggled arduously all the way and finally climbed to the top. Instead, it was those secondary immortals who were able to advance in rank by taking drugs.
Anyway . . . spirit grass might be useful to fallen beasts too?
Staring at the spirit grass, Shu Shu’s saliva was about to flow out.
Edgar, however, fell silent. He wanted to be a bit romantic, but as a result . . . . Obviously, his romantic preparations had utterly failed.
"From which neck of the woods did you get this grass? Are there more of this kind of grass?" Shu Shu asked Edgar while holding the spirit grass.
"It’s others who got it. I also don't know where the place is specifically." Edgar replied. "This kind of grass with spiritual power is very special?" Although this grass had spiritual power, but its spiritual power was very weak. He felt that there was nothing extraordinary about it.
"These are all treasures!" Shu Shu searched out all kinds of alchemy knowledge he had obtained from the red bead in his mind and slowly explained them.
Edgar had heard Shu Shu speak a bit about this before, but at that time, Shu Shu only mentioned it briefly. As a result, it was only now that he finally got the details.
Edgar wondered from where Shu Shu knew so many things . . . . He was very curious but did not question Shu Shu closely.
"This is indeed a good thing." Edgar agreed with what Shu Shu said and also realized the preciousness of this kind of spirit grass. "I’ll have people go look for it again."
"Beastmen who have never cultivated, even if they see a spirit grass in front of their eyes, they won’t be able to recognize it, ah!" Shu Shu said with some frustration. Suddenly, he had an idea, "Otherwise, let's go look for it together? "
"Then I’ll arrange it. "Edgar said.
"Okay." Shu Shu nodded. He knew that Edgar's so-called arrangement should be to find some people to accompany them, and he had no opinion at all on this—having servants was indeed a good thing, ah!
Edgar quickly made some arrangements. After Shu Shu woke up the next day, he was informed that he could set off at any time.
He could go out and have fun? Shu Shu at once nodded excitedly. "Let's go then!"
Edgar and Shu Shu took an aircraft and left the place where they had lived for quite a long time. After leaving, Shu Shu discovered that although he had not seen any plants because their lifepod had fallen into the desert, but other areas on this planet were actually covered with all kinds of plants. It was just that these plants did not look very good and only had a single variety.
No wonder Edgar would stick such ugly flowers in the vase before. The reality was that there were too few good-looking plants on this planet!
Shu Shu sat in the aircraft and looked at everything outside. In passing, he felt the change of spiritual power, and his mood was getting better—after they left the desert, the spiritual power in the air unexpectedly became more and more rich.
The spiritual power in the desert was richer than on the Gass planet, and the spiritual power in other areas on this planet was absolutely incomparable than on the Gass planet.
The little snake was also in a good mood. He had been staying in the desert since he was born and had never seen the outside world. Now that he suddenly saw it, he was not about to blink—snakes did not have eyelids and could not blink, but they were not real snakes, so they could blink like humans.
Edgar and Shu Shu’s first stop was the place where the soldiers had helped pick some flowers for them before. It was a large oasis located in the middle of the desert. It looked very beautiful and was alive with all kinds of living creatures . . . .
As soon as the aircraft stopped, Shu Shu jumped down from it and then strolled around the oasis excitedly. He really liked the small lake in the middle of the oasis. "The scenery here is really good . . . . Is there fish in the water?"
Edgar was silent. He knew that Shu Shu's focus always stood out from the masses.
"I'll help you catch some fish." Edgar said, the huge snake body sliding into the water right away.
Upon seeing this, Shu Shu immediately asked the soldiers who came with them to arrange the prepared table and chairs and take out the solar grill as he waited for Edgar to catch some fish back.
The time Edgar spent staying in the small lake was much longer than Shu Shu had expected, but when Edgar came out of the lake, he did live up to expectations and brought some fish back.
After Edgar crawled out of the lake with one fish in each of his four paws, he spoke to the soldiers who came with them, "There’s nothing to do here for the time being. You go eat something on the aircraft."
"Yes, Your Imperial Highness." Hearing Edgar say so, the soldiers soon left, allowing Edgar and Shu Shu to live in a two-person world.
Shu Shu only thought that Edgar made those men leave because he felt that their presence was irksome. Not thinking much about it, he picked up the fish that Edgar had caught and sorted them out while saying, "You should make them kill the fish first before letting them leave . . .” Not to mention that the fish here were strange-looking, the size was also quite big. It was not very convenient for him to handle them.
"I found something good and want to show it only to you." Edgar said, opening his mouth and abruptly spitting out some aquatic plants.
These aquatic plants looked very ordinary, but they all had spiritual power! Shu Shu was stunned seeing these aquatic plants and couldn't care less about half of the fish he had sorted out.
"The spiritual power under the water is very rich. There’s an area there where many of such aquatic plants grow." Edgar said. He initially wanted to catch some fish first after going under water just now, but then he sensed an area with very rich spiritual power, and so he went over to investigate first. Afterwards, he also picked some aquatic plants, and only before he was about to go ashore did he leisurely catch some fish.
"I don't know what this is, but it has spiritual power. Would you say that this is that kind of elixir which will increase cultivation sharply after you eat it?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar excitedly.
"I saw fish eat the surrounding aquatic plants, so this thing should be non-poisonous." Edgar said. He noticed Shu Shu's coveting look and simply ate one first. "I'll try it first."
The snake mouth was not convenient to taste, but Edgar felt that the aquatic plant should not taste good at all because it was a little rough and scraped his throat. However, after eating . . . the aquatic plant that had just been consumed entered the stomach, and a streak of spiritual power at once spread over Edgar’s chest and abdomen. This spiritual power was not particularly rich, but it was still a lot, which made Edgar feel at ease all over.
After waiting for a while, besides feeling comfortable, Edgar still had no other reaction and did not feel out of sorts the slightest either. He immediately said, "This spirit grass is edible." With that said, Edgar tore a bit of the tenderest stalk and leaves of the spirit grass and gave them to the little snake inside the small box on the side.
That's right, they took along the little snake with them on their trip this time, but the treatment that the little snake received was obviously not very good—Edgar put him in a transparent box that had been filled with water.
The simple little snake was not displeased at all; on the contrary, he loved the box very much . . . . After Edgar threw the aquatic plant in, he ate it happily.
Edgar was all right after eating it, and so was the little snake. Shu Shu also didn’t hesitate to pick up an aquatic plant and eat it.
Immediately after the aquatic plant was swallowed down into the stomach, a streak of spiritual power appeared within Shu Shu's body. Shu Shu's cultivation speed had always been very slow. Such an experience of suddenly getting so much spiritual power was particularly precious and exciting to him. He hurriedly stuffed some more aquatic plants into his mouth again.
Edgar also ate a big mouthful, and his mouth was so big that he directly ate multiple times the amount that Shu Shu ate, making Shu Shu can’t help but feel rather dissatisfied.

"It’s unnecessary for now. So much spiritual power is enough for me to absorb for a long time." Shu Shu smiled at Edgar, but his face abruptly changed, and then he covered his belly.
"What happened? Stomach ache?" Edgar asked worriedly. Unexpectedly, a second later, Shu Shu abruptly turned into a little hamster in front of him.
The little hamster lay supine on the ground, staring skyward with his four feet flailing; his state looked very bad . . . . Edgar only felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to stop flowing. "Shu Shu!"
What’s the matter with Shu Shu? Weren’t those aquatic plants non-poisonous? He had eaten a lot and was obviously fine! Edgar carefully placed his snake tail on Shu Shu's belly and inputted his spiritual power into Shu Shu's body to check. Once he checked, he discovered that Shu Shu’s sudden change into the original form should be caused by the body’s inability to digest the sudden influx of energy.
The little hamster’s body was full of spiritual power brought by the aquatic plants, and under the rampaging spiritual power, the little hamster started to thrash around.
Looking at the little hamster, Edgar was extremely distressed. Unfortunately, he could not even hug him. He could only use his snake tail to gently caress and stroke the little hamster while helping him absorb the excess spiritual power.
It was at this time that Edgar discovered that the child in Shu Shu's belly seemed to be absorbing this spiritual power as well.
Moreover, this unborn child absorbed the spiritual power even faster than Shu Shu.

Unedited chapter
89. Failed Romance
After crashing onto the Fallen Beast Planet and becoming a fallen beast again, Edgar was unable to do anything for Shu Shu. Because of this, he always felt very guilty and had long pondered what to do to make Shu Shu happy . . . . A candlelight dinner seemed like a pretty good idea?
He asked the chef on the spaceship to help make some delicious food. Then he ordered the soldiers from the spaceship to bring along a fallen beast who was very familiar with the environment of the Fallen Beast Planet aboard the aircraft and go find some beautiful flowers.
The food smelled so good; Shu Shu would definitely like it. As for the flowers brought back . . . .
There were not many types of plants on the Fallen Beast Planet. Most of them were ferns, so naturally, there were not many flowers. As a result, the flowers brought back were not particularly beautiful, and there were even a lot of grasses mixed in.
Edgar knew he could not be too demanding. So he did not feel dissatisfied at all when he saw these flowers and plants, and he even gave some rewards to the men who went to pick the flowers. After that, he personally arranged those flowers and plants and put them into a vase one by one.
While doing the arrangement, Edgar suddenly found that one of the grasses was a little different . . . . The spiritual power on this planet was very rich, yet the animals and plants he had seen before did not have spiritual power at all. This grass, however, was different. There was actually some faint spiritual power lingering on this grass.
A grass with spiritual power? Shu Shu would probably like it . . . . Edgar put this grass together with the most beautiful flowers and stuck them into a crystal vase placed on the table.
The little snake was already handed over to Jesse and Reynolds to be looked after. Edgar then switched on some pretty but not bright lights. Everything was ready and only lacked one tiny crucial item. Edgar began to wait for Shu Shu’s arrival under the dim lighting.
Shu Shu was stopped by Jones and the old doctor who once wanted to worship him as a teacher this afternoon. The two men pulled him and wished to discuss medicine with him.
Previously, right after studying with Jones, Shu Shu had already learned some medical knowledge, but he was simply not quick-witted enough to put it to use. He even failed to intuitively realized a lot of faults because he only relied on reading the materials. It could be said that when he talked, the words spoken were full of mistakes.
Jones was okay; he understood Shu Shu's situation and did not think it was strange. The old doctor who listened, however, was left speechless and even looked at Shu Shu with doubt—this was clearly a person who did not understand medical knowledge that even ordinary people knew; did he really have the ability to discover a method to help the fallen beasts restore their beast cores?
The old doctor had good medical skills, but because he put all his mind on studying medicine, he seemed to be rather weak in other aspects. For example, he could not conceal his own thoughts when speaking.
The doubtful expression on this man's face could even be seen by Shu Shu.
He was looked down upon . . . . Shu Shu frowned and decided that he had to show a little skill and make this doctor take a good look! However, he basically had no skill at all. He had only been in the Beastman Empire for a short time, and when he was a hamster on the earth, he simply had no conditions to learn medicine.
Of course, he actually understood some traditional Chinese medical science because there was a lot of knowledge about concocting pills of immortality inside the red bead. However . . . the plants shown by the red bead basically didn’t exist on the Fallen Beast Planet, ah!
Shu Shu very much wanted to show off to let the man have a whole new level of respect for him. Unfortunately, he did not know a lot of things. Anxious and in a hurry, he suddenly thought of one kind of thing related to medicine that could make him look cool, which was acupuncture points and veins!
Although beastmen and sub-beastmen were different from humans in many places, but their physical structures were in fact about the same. When Shu Shu helped Edgar heal and helped the fallen beasts restore their beast cores and taught Jones cultivation, he used spiritual power to probe their bodies and naturally grasped their acupuncture points . . . . Looking at the old doctor, Shu Shu snorted twice. "This is exactly the kind of medicine that I’ve learned since childhood."
"The medicine system you learned is different than mine? Could it be that what you learned is shamanic healing? I also have some understanding about shamanic healing." The old doctor said. In the ancient times when science and technology had not developed yet, beastmen who fell ill or felt uncomfortable all went to find the shamans. After science and technology had developed, many of the shamanic healing methods such as bloodletting and so on were proven to be wrong. However, some methods had been confirmed to be very useful, and thus such arts of healing spread and were even enhanced further by many people.
Nowadays, on some planets in the Beastman Empire, everyone still liked to look for the shamans to treat their illnesses.
“What I learned isn’t shamanic healing. The things I learned are completely different than yours.” Shu Shu looked at the doctor proudly and suddenly pointed at a certain position on the doctor's body while saying, "You try to press there. Doesn’t your body feel numb?"
The old doctor tried, and half of his body indeed felt numb.
"I told you so. You’ll feel this way because there’s an acupuncture point there!" Shu Shu stated. Then he talked about acupuncture points, mixed with a lot of miscellaneous knowledge . . . . Considering that he knew the body of beastmen and sub-beastmen like the back of his hand, what he said was actually clear and logical.
Of course, there was another reason why he could make those arguments, that was, these beastmen and sub-beastmen seemed to have real talent for cultivation, to the extent that if you exerted some force on their acupuncture points, the effect would be very good. And if you used a little energy, such as weak electric current, the effect would be even better.
This time, it was the old doctor who was unable to make sense of what he was hearing, and the doubtful look he gave Shu Shu also changed into a reverent one.
Such a look made Shu Shu's heart slowly swelled up. After giving some explanations about acupuncture points, he brought up the subject of concocting pills of immortality.
"There’re some plants that have magical effects. Long ago, there was once a beastman who had inadvertently eaten a red fruit. Afterwards, his strength increased greatly . . . . It seems that Mr. Reynolds could be so strong because of such an adventure." The old doctor said.
Jones had been listening very diligently. Having heard what was said, he nodded, "Indeed, Reynolds once fell into a cave and lived there for quite a long time. After he came out, his strength increased rapidly."
It could be like this, too? Shu Shu was a little stunned but also quite eager to give it a try—could it be that there was also spirit grass in this world?
"Crown Princess, the medicine system you spoke of should be a completely new system. I feel that you’re still in the exploratory stage . . . . Is this what you came up with?" The old doctor asked.
Shu Shu very much wanted to admit it but felt embarrassed. In the end, he still gritted his teeth and denied, "No, I learned it from some materials I read."
"Crown Princess, you’re too modest." The old doctor said. He had lived for a long time yet never heard of this subject matter. He mulled it over and guessed that the crown princess had probably discovered this acupuncture point with his innate ability . . . .
After thinking this way, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the crown princess was great. Not to mention anything else, when they began to discuss medical knowledge, although the crown princess only had a smattering of knowledge on many subjects, but he had memorized all the information!
The crown princess was really very serious in learning. If he did not understand . . . wasn't that because of his young age? Looking at Shu Shu’s appearance that seemed to be somewhat reluctant, the old doctor suddenly felt that the crown princess was a little beastly.
The old doctor continued to chat with Shu Shu, and Jones also joined in. The more they chatted, the more speculative they were.
Edgar waited until the dishes were cold, but Shu Shu still had not returned. He had obviously made clear to Jones that he could only pull Shu Shu to chat for a while and should make Shu Shu return when it was time to eat dinner!
Jones were chatting with Shu Shu and suddenly felt hungry, so he took some food out of his space button and distributed it to Shu Shu and the doctor. As they ate together, he glanced at his silenced communication device in passing.
". . ." There were a lot of messages from Edgar on his communication device. He . . . forgot what Edgar had asked him to do . . . .
Jones abruptly stood up and snatched the biscuit in Shu Shu's hand. "Shu Shu, it's already very late. You should go back."
Shu Shu somewhat failed to understand the reason why, but after he stopped chatting, he did miss Edgar a little . . . .
The biscuit from Jones was gone, so Shu Shu took some food out of his own food pouches to eat. He ate while walking back home.
Back to the place where he and Edgar lived, Shu Shu opened the door and at once saw a lot of tiny lights twinkling with various colors inside the house. The lights were not bright, so that the whole room looked rather dim. Surrounded by the lights, the table held a lot of food and a few bunches of flowers. The set up looked a bit like the sacrifice offering to the ancestors. And behind the table, there was a huge black snake, his two eyes gleaming in the light.
It looked so scary! Shu Shu had an urge to beat a hasty retreat.
