100. Jones is Pregnant
 

One year passed by in a flash.
   
At the beginning, Shu Shu and Edgar continued to live in the base built in the desert, but later, considering the two children, they moved out of the base and then chose to live on a mountain with beautiful scenery and rich spiritual influence. 

The mountain was a bit far from the base, but Edgar could still eat at home three meals a day and stay at home at night by taking an aircraft. And most importantly, after living on the mountain, the two children could happily run and jump all over the mountain—Edgar had already cleared the entire mountain thoroughly and had the robot build a fence under the mountain for safety measures, so there was no need to worry at all about dangers on the mountain.
 
The weather was sunny and cloudless yet a bit cold on this day. Although Shu Shu had woken up, he was unwilling to get out of the bed. Only after the fragrant smell of food wafted in from the outside did he turn over and crawl out of the bed. He quickly dressed himself in a particularly comfortable and loose pajamas and then ran out. "Edgar, what tasty thing did you make?" Shu Shu could not get up in the morning, so it was always Edgar who prepared breakfast.
 
"I made egg pancakes and shredded chicken congee." Edgar said with a smile.
 
There were no native chickens on Fallen Beast Planet, so Shu Shu had not eaten chickens and eggs for quite a long time. Having heard what was said, he was pleasantly surprised. "Where did the eggs and chickens come from?"
 
"Another spaceship came from the capital star and brought a lot of supplies." Edgar replied while he began to ladle up the congee.
 
Shu Shu did not like to eat oily congee. The shredded chicken congee was made with fat-free chicken stock and contained shredded chicken breast and some green vegetables. The color looked particularly wonderful, and it was served along with egg pancakes and several kinds of salads.
 
Shu Shu grabbed an egg pancake, took a bite of it contentedly, and then picked up some salad with a pair of chopsticks. "Actually, it’s better to eat congee with salted vegetables . . ." As well as pickled cabbage, pickled cucumber, and pickled radish . . . .
 
"Children can't eat too salty." Edgar stated, placing the two children on the baby dining chairs separately and giving them a spoon each.
 
These two children had always lived in a place with abundant spiritual influence, so the "beast cores" in their bodies, which were not the same at all as those of ordinary beastmen, were already very well-developed. Now, if they wanted to keep the human form, they could keep it, and if they wanted to turn into the beast form, they could turn into it. They could already control their transformations freely.
 
And when they ate, they would definitely keep their human forms. After all, only by keeping their human forms could they taste the food better and eat faster.
 
Nowadays, the little snake's beast form was already hundreds times heavier than the little hamster’s, but his human form was only a little bit bigger than the little hamster’s. But even so, he was already used to taking care of his younger brother. As soon as he got onto the table, he promptly gave his younger brother an egg pancake.
 
The little hamster took the proffered egg pancake and immediately took a bite, and then he began to chew it quickly with his small mouth . . . . Because he ate too fast, he almost choked on it. Only after he drank a few mouthfuls of congee did it ease up.
 
The little hamster’s eating speed seemed to be very fast, but in fact, the little snake ate even faster . . . because he did not chew much. He just swallowed down an egg pancake and started to gnaw on a plate of meat. And that meat was an extra meal for both Edgar and him, two people who were real rice buckets.
 
Shu Shu was already full after eating egg pancakes and shredded chicken congee, but when he smelled the meat, he still couldn't help but stare at it. Edgar immediately cut a piece of meat from his plate and gave it to Shu Shu to taste.
 
The little hamster's eager appearance were exactly the same as Shu Shu’s. The little snake learned from Edgar and took a piece of meat from his plate for his younger brother to eat.
 
After Shu Shu and the little hamster finished eating, they stroked their bellies in satisfaction and did not want to move. Edgar had long been accustomed to this and showed a smiling expression on his face. He stuffed the last bite of meat into his mouth, carried Shu Shu and the little hamster to the sofa, and finally picked up the little snake. After depositing the three of them on the sofa, he let them watch an early childhood education cartoon.
 
Finished doing all this, Edgar left for the base in an aircraft and went to train the fallen beasts there. Meanwhile, Shu Shu and his two children began to watch the cartoon with great interest.
 
The ten-minute episode of this early childhood education cartoon was very interesting. Shu Shu and the two children watched it raptly. After watching five episodes, Shu Shu reluctantly turned off the TV and rushed the two children out, letting them play on the mountain by themselves. As for him, he started to fiddle with the spirit stones again and practiced setting up formations.
 
After three or four hours, Shu Shu felt hungry. He put down the spirit stone in his hand, got up, and went to the kitchen to make something to eat using the cooking machine. Then he stood on the top of the mountain and circulated his spiritual power while shouting, "Sons! Eat!"
 
His voice spread throughout the mountain with the help of spiritual power. After the little snake and the little hamster heard it, they would run home together, and at this time, Edgar's aircraft should have arrived.
 
The family of four had eaten, and Edgar, flying an aircraft, left again. After a while, Jones and Dean came over in an aircraft. They would come to Shu Shu every afternoon to teach Shu Shu various medical knowledge, and every few days, they would give the two children a checkup.
 
"Shu Shu, Reynolds and his men found an edible plant on Fallen Beast Planet, and it tastes very good. I brought you some." Jones came down from the aircraft and immediately spoke to Shu Shu.
 
Shu Shu was pleasantly surprised. "Really? What is it?" He asked and quickly came to Jones’ side, turning his gaze toward Jones curiously.
 
"It’s a kind of fern stem, and the inside is full of juice. The juice is also very sweet and doesn’t have the slightest amount of harmful substances, so you can chew it to eat." Jones replied, taking out some thick canes with pointed ends and giving them to Shu Shu.
 
Shu Shu took one and chewed it . . . . It tasted like sugar cane, ah, and it tasted great! Because it was a bit harder than sugar cane, it could also be conveniently used to grind his teeth, which was perfect for him.
 
Shu Shu started to gnaw the sugarcane with satisfaction. On the other side, after Dean checked Xiao Bei, he once again fell silent and did not know whether he should be depressed or happy.
 
The little prince's beast form was still so small, but inexplicably, his human form was very, very strong. If we talked about the human form alone, he was really stronger than most beastmen.
 
Such a little prince, as long as he did not let people see his beast form in the future, maybe no matter who it was, they would feel that he was a very, very powerful beastman . . . . Maybe this matter could be kept hidden, or maybe not.
 
Thinking so, Dean felt the big stone in his heart finally disappeared and inevitably relaxed.
 
The relaxed Dean was even more diligent and stricter when teaching Shu Shu medical expertise, which actually made Shu Shu feel a bit pressured . . . .
 
"Today’s lesson ends here." When Dean finally said this sentence, Shu Shu was so happy he could not wait to jump up and down.
 
"Your Imperial Highness the Crown Princess, your theoretical knowledge is already very rich now, and the only thing you’re lacking is practice. I believe that as long as you have enough opportunities to practice, you’ll definitely be able to become an excellent doctor." Dean praised. After speaking, he could not help but glance at Shu Shu . . . . You had to know that his praise was actually discounted. Not only Shu Shu had rich theoretical knowledge, he had even surpassed him and Jones in many aspects. Seeing that Shu Shu's innate ability was healing and his so-called spiritual power was very magical . . . he believed that Shu Shu was already able to become an excellent doctor at present.
 
"I know that I’m so amazing!" Hearing Dean’s words, Shu Shu looked very proud of himself.
 
Dean: ". . ." Fortunately, he did not tell the truth, otherwise the crown princess would definitely have a swollen head!
 
Dean and Jones had taught Shu Shu everything that could be taught to Shu Shu, and Shu Shu had also used his highly retentive memory skill to write down all of them. So they both said they would not come again in the future.
 
"You’re not coming tomorrow? Then I’ll go find you tomorrow, and we’ll play together." Shu Shu immediately stated.
 
Jones could not help laughing. Did Shu Shu think that they had come to play with him all these days?
 
But even though he thought so, Jones did not object. "Then you come over tomorrow. There’re many patients at the base, so you can also help examine them."
 
"Okay." Shu Shu nodded repeatedly.
 
The next day, Shu Shu took his two children along and went to the base with Edgar.
 
There was no airway control on Fallen Beast Planet, so when Edgar flew in the aircraft alone, he increased the speed of the aircraft to the highest level. But now with the children, he slowed the speed down to the extent that it took almost half an hour before they finally reached the base.
 
At the base, some beastmen who were usually enlisted by Edgar were a little puzzled after Edgar was late. They simply went to the place where Edgar had parked the aircraft in the past and waited, and then they saw . . . the crown prince bring the crown princess and the two children along!
 
They were startled. Then they all turned their gazes toward the little prince held by the crown princess.
 
Both princes lived on Fallen Beast Planet. They often played together with the big prince, but they had never seen the little prince. They were simply very curious about the little prince!
 
Now, they finally saw the little prince! Normally, beastmen all looked like their beastman fathers; the little prince, however, was more like the crown princess. With big eyes, a small chubby face, and a white and tender skin, he looked very cute . . . .
 
A group of beastmen all stared at the little hamster. Seeing this scene, Edgar could not help but frown. Others could stare at Xiao Bao as they pleased, because little beastmen did not need to be spoiled and should be toughened up as they grew up, but Xiao Bei . . . .
 
Xiao Bei was practically Shu Shu’s carbon copy; how could Edgar let others stare at him as they pleased? Edgar tilted his body to one side to block his subordinates’ gazes toward Xiao Bei and Shu Shu, snorting coldly.
 
His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince alone could beat all of them down, and his imposing manner was even more astonishing . . . . After hearing the cold humph, those beastmen immediately didn’t dare to stare indiscriminately.
 
Edgar then accompanied Shu Shu to find Jones and let Shu Shu take Xiao Bei to play with Jones. As for the little snake, he carried him in his hand to go watch the training.
 
A hospital had been built at the base, and Jones worked there.
 
The work in the hospital was not busy at all, yet Jones' complexion today was a little wan and sallow. He did not show it, though. When he saw Shu Shu coming, he pulled Shu Shu to his side with a smile and then started to explain to Shu Shu while seeing the patients.
 
There were all sorts of instruments in the hospital that could check the beastmen and the sub-beastmen. It was very interesting, and Shu Shu was also very interested in this. Unfortunately, there were not many patients in the base, and Jones was soon done, which actually made him a bit disappointed.
 
Jones felt a bit funny seeing Shu Shu's expression. Seeing that there was nothing more to be done, he simply invited Shu Shu to have a meal at his place.
 
Jones used to live alone, so his craftsmanship was not bad, and he was especially good at making a variety of cakes and desserts. Shu Shu gladly went there and eagerly waited for Jones to prepare a table of fine food.
 
"I don't know why, but I'm so tired these days. So I won't make a big meal." Jones smiled when he saw Shu Shu and Xiao Bei's covetous looks.
 
"It's okay. Even if you only make a few stir-fried dishes, they also taste very good!" Shu Shu said.
 
Xiao Bei, held in Shu Shu’s arms, nodded repeatedly. He usually ate food made by Edgar and Shu Shu using the cooking machine. Occasionally, they would do the job themselves, and the result just couldn’t compare with what the cooking machine made. Therefore, the first time he ate the dim sum that Jones made with his own hands, he was extremely touched. Since then, he was especially fond of Jones.
 
Jones did not cook many dishes, but they were all very exquisite. In addition to the food he personally cooked, he also made barbecues for three people in the oven. These barbecues, one portion was for Reynolds, and the other two were for Edgar and the little snake.
 
The little snake was carried in Edgar’s hand, and it seemed that he was carried that way the whole time.
 
When the little snake kept his snake form, no matter how Edgar carried him in his hand, Shu Shu had no opinion since he was unwilling to hold the snake form anyway. But now the little snake was in human form, and being carried for a while was not the same as being carried continuously, ah! Seeing Edgar striding over while carrying the child by his clothes, Shu Shu promptly went up to snatch the child. "Edgar, be careful."
 
Since when did you need to treat little beastmen gently and cautiously? Edgar was somewhat helpless, but although he thought so, he did not say anything more.
 
Handing over Xiao Bao to Shu Shu to hold, Edgar suddenly said, "Shu Shu, we’ll leave Fallen Beast Planet in another month."
 
"What?" Shu Shu stared blankly.
 
"It's time we return to the capital star." Edgar said.
 
Shu Shu had adapted very well to life here over this past year, and he also felt that living here was great. So when he learned that he had to leave, he could not help but feel reluctant.
 
Edgar, seeing Shu Shu's reluctance, said with a smile, "When you return to the capital star, you can eat all sorts of fine food that you want to eat. There’re also several restaurants belonging to the imperial family that you still haven’t visited yet. "
 
Shu Shu's reluctant expression immediately disappeared without a trace, and he animatedly asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go back? When exactly will we leave?"
 
"I’ve already restored all the beast cores of the fallen beasts whose beast cores need to be repaired, so naturally, it's time to leave." Edgar kissed Shu Shu's forehead.
 
The speed at which he helped the fallen beasts restore their beast cores became faster and faster this year, and today, he finally helped the last fallen beast to restore his beast core.
 
He would let these fallen beasts rest and reorganize and also make some arrangements for them, and then they all should return to the capital star. After returning, his two children would be able to receive better education, and he would be able to accompany Shu Shu everywhere, going through another honeymoon.
 
Many things happened after he married Shu Shu. He always felt a little sorry for Shu Shu, so he wanted to take Shu Shu to play everywhere.
 
"After I go back, I want to eat XXX, YYY, ZZZ . . ." Shu Shu did not hesitate to report a bunch of things that he wanted to eat.
 
"No problem." Edgar immediately replied.
 
On the other side, Reynolds said to Jones, "We’ll get married after we return, okay? I’ll definitely hold a grand wedding to marry you." He had been helping Edgar train his subordinates for the past year, and Edgar had promised that he would pay him, so he had money for the wedding!
 
Reynolds was in a very good mood, but after he said that, Jones' face did not look so good.
 
"Jones, are you unhappy?" Reynolds anxiously asked. His sub-beastman was not going to renege, right? If Jones reneged, then he . . . he would turn into his beast form, stand on his hind legs, and spin a hula hoop, or maybe pretend to be a dog?

"No, I'm just not feeling well." Jones frowned. Seeing Reynolds get in front of himself, he did not know why he suddenly felt a little annoyed.
 
Not feeling well? Reynolds was worried. "I'll call a doctor for you."
 
"No need." Jones frowned even more and could not help but waving away Reynolds’ outstretched hand. "I’m a doctor myself. I'm fine." He had just done a medical examination not long ago, and his health was actually better than it had been in the past few years.
 
"Are you feeling unwell? How about I give you a check?" Shu Shu said. Jones was not in the right state, ah. Usually, even if he rejected Reynolds, he did it sweetly. Looking at it now, how did it seem like he really rejected Reynolds?
 
Jones had always been very grateful to Shu Shu; moreover, Shu Shu made him feel very comfortable. Hearing Shu Shu's words, he did not hesitate one bit to put his hand in front of Shu Shu. "Okay, you help me check."
 
Shu Shu held Jones' hand, and his spiritual power went into Jones’ body.
 
"How is Jones?" Reynolds asked. Jones had a bad temper lately, and he did not know what the hell was going on . . . .
 
"Jones is in good health and has no problems at all." Shu Shu said.
 
"It’s good that he has no problems." Having heard what was said, Reynolds was very pleased but also a little puzzled. Since Jones had no problems, then what the hell was going on with him now?
 
"But his tumor has grown bigger." Shu Shu spoke again. Jones also grew a tumor after eating Reynolds' beast bead, and now the tumor had grown bigger.
 
"Tumor?" Reynolds was blank.
 
"You mean I have a child?" Jones reacted quickly and stood up in shock.
 
Beastmen and sub-beastmen had a long life span, but their golden childbearing period was only about thirty to forty years. When Reynolds was seriously injured and became a fallen beast, he and Reynolds were already quite old. After another thirty years . . . their golden childbearing period had actually passed years ago.
 
Although Reynolds had been shouting about making him pregnant, Jones actually had no hope at all. After all, it was not easy to get pregnant. Hadn’t he seen that Ian and Chris only got Edgar after being married for so many years?

In the end . . . he was this old and actually got pregnant?
 
Jones was stunned. Reynolds quivered and suddenly lost control and turned into his beast form, tail wagging incessantly.
 
He had a child! He actually had a child!
 
The huge white wolf rubbed against Jones’ side and was going to lick Jones but was swatted by Jones in the nose. This time, Jones was completely upset. "Don’t come near me. I feel annoyed when I see you."
 
This guy was noisy again last night, making him unable to have a good sleep and thus making him so tired today . . . . He had to kick him out of the room tonight!

99. Pretending to be a Beastman
 

"Your Imperial Highness, the little prince's beast form grows very slowly, which is abnormal. He . . ." Dean looked at the little prince with great distress. It was fine if you were very small when you were born but later developed quickly because then you still had a chance to catch up with other beastmen. If the little prince’s body could grow very, very tall, even if he was a hamster, he could easily bite down snakes and crush tigers.
 
Unfortunately . . . the child's body weight that should have increased the fastest during infancy actually didn’t increase one bit!
 
According to the results of his tests, the little prince . . . might not be able to grow tall in this life.
 
Dean continued to speak with a somewhat ugly expression, "Although auxin can make the beast form grow bigger, it'll have a bad effect on the human form. The little prince's human form development is normal, so you mustn't use it rashly . . . ."
 
The little hamster was held in the hollow of Edgar’s hand. Because he was afraid of hurting the little hamster, his movements were a bit stiff, and even the whole person was very tense—his child was really too small, making him feel like he would crush the child as long as he exerted a little bit of force.
 
Such a scene was seen by Dean as Edgar being unable to accept the result, which made him even more worried.
 
Fortunately, Edgar reacted quickly, saying to Dean, "It doesn't matter if he’s like this. Beastmen nowadays don't need to show their beast forms even in the battlefield. The size of the beast form alone can’t be used to judge one’s success while fighting. This is my child, and I believe he mustn’t be weaker than others in any respects."
 
Edgar spoke very confidently. After speaking, he glanced at the little hamster in his arms warily. The little hamster in the hollow of his hand was feeling bored and annoyed, and now he began to crawl along his arm. Oh, great, his arm was all stiff now, and he did not dare to move at all. If he moved, he was afraid that the little hamster on his arm would be unbalanced and then fall.
 
However, despite this, Edgar still stated with particular confidence, "My own child, I’ll naturally protect him for a lifetime."
 
Dean was very moved. Meanwhile, the little snake on the side, seeing Edgar's appearance, looked pensive.
 
Every time he crawled on his mother’s body, his mother would be particularly stiff. From the beginning, he had not understood what exactly this was all about. He did not expect to see that his father would be likewise stiff after his younger brother crawled on his body . . . .
 
So, they were actually unable to get along with the child whose beast form was different from them?
 
The snake climbed up from Edgar's leg and waggled his tail at the little hamster.
 
They had been playing together for many days and already had a set of communication methods of their own. When the little hamster saw the little snake’s movement, he promptly climbed down from Edgar’s body and started chasing his older brother.
 
After the little hamster climbed down, Edgar at once breathed a sigh of relief and said to Dean, "Xiao Bei’s my child, and his body’s very special. You must never spread this matter. As for how he’s going to live . . . he’ll be the treasure of all of us.”
 
Dean saw the little hamster chase the little snake everywhere and even climb onto the little snake’s back and strut around, and he finally nodded, relieved. Even if the little prince had genetic mutation, as long as his parents and close relatives loved him dearly, he would definitely be able to live well.
 
After Edgar had an in depth conversation with Dean, he brought the two children back and then told Shu Shu, who did not go with the children for their checkups, the result of the checkup.
 
Shu Shu did not in the least care about whether the little hamster would grow big in the future. Hamsters were originally small; it was already amazing that he could grow up to the size of a fist. Wasn’t it very normal that his son could only grow this big in the future?
 
As for being not powerful enough to fight . . . why on earth would you fight without rhyme or reason?
 
Why did he cultivate so hard to become a human? Wasn’t it because humans would not frequently fight each other or cannibalize their fellows?
 
Now that the Beastman Empire had entered the interstellar era, science and technology were the primary productive forces. And sub-beastmen, who were unable to change into beast forms, didn’t a lot of them earn more than the beastmen?
 
His son should study hard every day and then test into a good university and find a good job. This was the normal life, ah!
 
For Shu Shu, who had long yearned for human society, his requirements for his children were the same as ordinary humans’. "If he can be as outstanding as Myer, why should you worry?"
 
"I think so too." Edgar said. "But there’s still a problem. That is, Xiao Bei has no beast bead. Maybe he’s the same as you, able to accept another man’s beast bead to form a womb. In this case, when we talk to outsiders, should we just say that he’s a sub-beastman?"
 
Both Shu Shu and Xiao Bei could turn into beast forms, but strangely, they were born without a beast bead, which made them more like sub-beastmen. This made him wonder how to judge his son’s gender.
 
Say that he was a beastman? He was actually not. Say he was a sub-beastman? He clearly could turn into a beast form.
 
Hearing Edgar's question, Shu Shu was also confused. "But if we say that Xiao Bei’s a sub-beastman, what’s to be done if he likes a sub-beastman in the future?"
 
"It's okay. Nowadays, gay love isn’t a big deal in the Beastman Empire." Edgar said directly. Although it was not accepted as the mainstream, but as his son, did he still need to worry about this?
 
"That’s to say, if Xiao Bei’s a beastman and likes a beastman in the end, he also doesn’t need to worry that he’ll be criticized?" Shu Shu asked curiously.
 
"Of course." Edgar nodded.
 
Getting Edgar’s affirmative answer, Shu Shu made a decision on the spot. "In this case, it’s better to tell people that Xiao Bei’s a beastman." He had already seen that although his son’s figure looked very weak, he actually had abundant spiritual power and great strength. In the future, it would be no problem at all for him to beat the hell out of a group of beastmen. Therefore, it was better to let him be a beastman, so that when he looked for a job in the future, he would have a wider choice.
 
In the Beastman Empire, sub-beastmen were not allowed to do some dangerous jobs in addition to being unable to do those jobs, but they were good at research and art. However, if there were beastmen who did well in those fields, no one would block their paths.
 
By comparison, being a beastman was more free.
 
Since Shu Shu had made a decision, Edgar certainly wouldn't oppose it, and he also brought up this matter to Chris and Ian.
 
As a result, when the imperial family made an announcement, besides mentioning that the crown prince couple was helping the fallen beasts to restore their beast cores on Fallen Beast Planet, they also mentioned another thing—the crown prince couple had another child, a cute little beastman who came out of the shell on Fallen Beast Planet!
 
". . ." After the people on the star network saw this announcement, they went silent together.
 
Damn it, what the hell was going on? How long had the crown prince and the crown princess been married, ah? And the crown princess’ second child had actually broken the shell?
 
How the hell did the crown princess give birth, ah?
 
"Mouse type sub-beastmen are indeed easier to conceive, and the pregnancy period is also shorter, but it’s also not to this degree, ah . . ."
 
"What’s going on with the crown prince? How can he make his partner pregnant again so quickly?! So enviable!"
 
"I'm so envious and jealous of his achievement! I've been married for ten years and still haven’t had any children!"
 
"Ask the crown princess how to quickly conceive and give birth. If conceiving an egg only takes a month and won’t delay my work, I’ll also go and conceive one. "
 
. . . . . .

The star network was noisy. For a while, such news as the fallen beasts on Fallen Beast Planet were currently recovering fast or the Crown Prince Edgar had restored his beast core and was no longer a fallen beast lost their heat and were unable to surpass the news about the crown prince couple’s second child having come out of the shell.
 
The imperial family, which had always had only one child per generation, actually had two children this time. The netizens all wondered whether there would be a fight for the throne in the future, and they felt so excited when thinking about it!
 
Countless people on the star network were waiting to see the photos of the little prince. As for the little snake, who had only been a little prince for a few days, he was promoted to a big prince.
 
It was a pity that the imperial family kept the little prince well-hidden. Except for a side-face photo of a human-shaped baby, they did not send out any more photos of him. Contrariwise, some photos of the big prince would be sent out from time to time.
 
"The imperial family intends to let the big prince inherit the throne? As for the little prince, I guess they want to let him live happily, so they hide all his information."
 
"They’re only a few months apart, and the little prince won’t get the throne because he’s born late? I feel sorry for him."
 
"Fallen Beast Planet’s really too far away, ah! If they live in the capital star, someone must be able to take a photo of the little prince. Now though . . . ."
 
"The big prince’s so cute! I really want to see whether the little prince’s also this cute or not, ah! ”
 
. . . . . .

The netizens were extremely depressed because they felt that the information exchange with Fallen Beast Planet was too slow. Therefore, many people proposed to set up more information websites to bring Fallen Beast Planet into the scope of the star network . . . .
 
Of course, such a proposal was quickly rejected without the slightest hesitation.
 
Fallen Beast Planet was a more remote place than Gass Planet. The amount of money required to connect the star network to that place probably couldn’t be counted. Even if the Empire was currently not short of money, it would not do such a foolish thing either.
 
Besides, Fallen Beast Planet had become a private planet now.
 
Emperor Chris bought Fallen Beast Planet after receiving some information from Edgar.
 
The reason Chris gave for doing this was that Fallen Beast Planet held lots of important memories. Given that the imperial family always had endless money, the Empire had no doubt about this reason at all. Because Fallen Beast Planet had no permanent residents or government, the handover was particularly easy, and the matter was settled very quickly.
 
The imperial family was really a little foolish, ah . . . . The Empire had checked the entire Fallen Beast Planet back and forth hundreds of times in the early days, and there were absolutely no natural resources there. Yet the imperial family still spent a lot of money to buy this kind of planet. The question was, did they have no brains?
 
Anyway, it was not surprising that the imperial family did this . . . . The crown prince originally met the crown princess on Gass Planet. Afterwards, the imperial family began to actively build the planet, and the money spent on it was not less than the cost of buying Fallen Beast Planet . . . . Say, if the crown prince and the crown princess, or maybe the two little princes, went to those remote planets that had been regarded as of little value by the Empire, would the imperial family develop or buy those planets to lighten the burden on the Empire?
 
Chris did not know what others thought, but he was actually very pleased after buying the Fallen Beast Planet.
 
Edgar had already said that there were many precious natural resources as well as spirit stones on the Fallen Beast Planet. It was indeed a good place!
 
"Chris, Xiao Bei is really so cute!" Ian, seeing Chris return from the outside after dealing with work, stated again.
 
"Yeah." Chris replied. His little grandson was really very cute; if he had the opportunity, he really wanted to take his little grandson to go play everywhere.
 
"He's so small that I can take him in my pocket . . . . Chris, I want to go to Fallen Beast Planet to see him!" Ian said. He had two grandchildren, but he could not see them. This really made him feel very sad.
 
"We can't go now, but rest assured that two children will definitely come to our hands." Chris suddenly said.
 
Ian looked at Chris with doubt but only saw Chris' inscrutable expression.
 
Edgar and Shu Shu did not know that Chris and his wife had already thought of the two children. They were still living on the Fallen Beast Planet, and Shu Shu was watching the circus . . . no, watching the fallen beasts training. Fallen beasts who trained on the drill ground were getting less and less. At the same time, there were more beastmen who would turn into various animals training in another newly built base.
 
At the beginning of training these fallen beasts, Reynolds only wanted to let them vent their excess energy, but after a while, he thought of something deeper.
 
These fallen beasts had received Edgar’s great favor and been treated well. They could absolutely become the crown prince’s most loyal subordinates.
 
Now was a time of peace. The imperial family did not need to keep too many troops, but it was also a pretty good idea to have so many loyal people work for the imperial family, wasn’t it?
 
With this in mind, Reynolds spent more and more energy on these people, and Edgar also began to train them personally.
 
Time passed by so quickly just like that.

98. Handicapped Little Beastman
 

"Xiao Bao, the younger brother’s still small. If you chase him like this, he’ll get tired, you know?" Having caught the little snake, Shu Shu explained to him seriously.
 
The little snake coiled around Shu Shu's wrist and looked at Shu Shu in confusion, habitually flicking the snake tongue in his mouth.
 
Shu Shu had not truly adapted to the tactile sensation of his eldest son's beast form, but in order not to make the child feel deeply hurt, he still endured and stroked his head. "You’re the older brother, so you must take care of your younger brother as much as possible. If you chase him, he’ll probably run around all over the place, and it'll be bad if he knocks into something in a hurry. It’d be better to let him chase you."
 
The little snake nodded.
 
"Also, you should turn into a person often when you play with your younger brother, so when your younger brother sees you in your human form, he’ll want to turn into a human form earlier." Shu Shu solemnly expressed.
 
The little snake cleverly turned into a person.
 
The white, plump, well-behaved, and clever baby looked really cute. Shu Shu did not dislike him one bit this time; instead, he liked him very, very much. Hugging the little snake, Shu Shu bestowed several kisses on his chubby little face, "Xiao Bao, let me tell you that a beastman who can turn into a person is the most amazing. You see, how happy those beastmen outside are after they can turn into people, ah!"
 
The little baby showed a thoughtful expression. He had not yet managed to talk fluently, but he could already understand quite a lot of words. Moreover, he often ran outside all day long to play with those fallen beasts who were able to turn into people. So now, after hearing his mother say such things, he had a sudden feeling of realization.
 
No wonder every time he turned into a person, his mother treated him particularly well. It turned out that this kind of ability was the most amazing!
 
Unfortunately, he could not always turn into a person . . . .
 
The little snake immediately became a little dejected. Upon seeing this, Shu Shu promptly praised him, "Don’t worry, Xiao Bao, you’re already very amazing. Many uncles outside aren’t as amazing as you!"
 
The little snake was quickly coaxed and then continued to play with his brother under Shu Shu’s guidance.
 
Edgar went to help the fallen beasts restore their beast cores as usual today. After draining all his spiritual power, he hurried back to the room.
 
In the room, Shu Shu was fiddling with some spirit stones, and appearing on one side of the room . . . were a snake who was scurrying in front and a little hamster who was pursuing him closely behind, unwilling to let go.
 
The little snake slithered very fast and often shook off the little hamster if he was not careful. When this happened, he would stop and wait for the little hamster to catch up and then continue to run.
 
"The two kids are having a great time playing together." Edgar laughed as he watched this lovely scene.
 
"Yeah." Shu Shu nodded earnestly. "They’re happy playing, and I’m also happy."
 
Shu Shu was also happy? Why? Edgar looked at Shu Shu curiously.
 
"Xiao Bei has fulfilled my lifelong dream!" Shu Shu stated with a serious face. He had previously fantasized that one day he would be able to chase a snake until the snake was scared witless. In the end, even if he had cultivated successfully, he still couldn't do it because of his own instincts . . . . His second son, Xiao Bei, was different though. This child had just been born but was not afraid of snakes and could run after them! He was truly a hero in the hamster world, ah!
 
His sub-beastman’s dream was too small . . . . Edgar felt his heart moved. "If you like, I’ll become small and let you chase me? I can flee a little slower, and you can also bite me after you catch me." Shu Shu biting him on the lips and on other places . . . .
 
"I definitely don't want to bite a snake!" Shu Shu refused without the slightest hesitation and then saw his eldest son deliberately slow down a little after hearing Edgar's words and let the little hamster catch up.
 
It was estimated that the reason the little hamster did not fear the little snake one bit and always liked to play with the little snake was because he knew from the scent that the little snake was his own brother. After he caught up with the little snake, he really went up and bit the little snake’s tail.
 
He was too small and simply unable to cause any harm to the little snake. In the end, he could do nothing more than wet the little snake's tail. The little snake swung his tail and directly put the thumb-sized little hamster on his back. After that, he started to go round the entire house while carrying the little hamster on his back. Because he was worried that his younger brother would fall off from his body, he slithered very slowly and steadily.
 
His second son was really amazing! Not to mention chasing a snake, he could even ride a snake! Shu Shu watched this situation with great satisfaction and decided to encourage them to do it like this in the future.
 
This was how you played games, ah!
 
Edgar, seeing Shu Shu's envious look, chuckled, "Shu Shu, would you like to ride me?"
 
"I don't want to ride a snake." Shu Shu said. Edgar's scales were slippery, so he had to hold on tight to avoid being dropped, but holding onto a snake was absolutely not a good experience for him.
 
"You can ride a man." Edgar smiled at Shu Shu.
 
"Wolf (pervert)!" Shu Shu cursed in Chinese.
 
"I'm not a wolf." Edgar also replied in Chinese.
 
Xiao Bao glanced at his father and mother and pursed his brows. Riding a man?
 
Turning into a little baby, Xiao Bao put the little hamster on his head and began to crawl very carefully.
 
". . ." Shu Shu was momentarily speechless. He pounced on Edgar in a flash and then took a bite on Edgar's arm—these kinds of words that were not suitable for children, he and Edgar definitely weren’t allowed to say them in front of the children later!
 
It took Edgar some effort to appease the embarrassed and angry Shu Shu, and then he mentioned one thing. "Shu Shu, after Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were born, they haven’t gone through detailed checkup. I plan to take them for a checkup tomorrow."
 
"What will they check? "Shu Shu asked, puzzled.
 
"Every aspect has to be checked. The physical fitness, the beast core, the beast bead, the innate skill and ability . . ." Edgar explained briefly. "Actually, this kind of checkup should be done at the big hospital in the capital star to be more accurate and thorough, but your situation is quite special, and the two children may be the same. I think it’s better for Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei to be checked on the Fallen Beast Planet. In any case, the equipment has been transported here. "
 
"Then we’ll go for a checkup tomorrow.” Shu Shu nodded. Wasn’t it just a medical examination?
 
For the medical examination of the two children, Edgar asked Jones and the old doctor, whom once wanted to worship Shu Shu as a teacher, to lend a hand.
 
This old doctor was a sub-beastman named Dean. The last time he communicated with Shu Shu, he was bombarded with a lot of knowledge on acupoints and meridians by Shu Shu. After that, he was completely wrapped up in his study to the point of ignoring other matters. This time, it was only because he heard that the two little princes had to undergo a medical examination that he temporarily put aside his study.
 
Jones knew that Shu Shu was special, so Edgar was quite reassured. As for Dean, Dean had been working with the imperial family for many years. He was the exclusive doctor of the imperial family and had signed a confidentiality agreement, so he would certainly not talk about anything that should not be said.
 
When Edgar and Shu Shu brought the children to the medical room on the spaceship, Jones and Dean were already waiting there.
 
"You’re here." Jones said with a smile, his eyes falling on the nursery basket Shu Shu was carrying in his hand. "Did you bring the newborn little prince? Does he look good? Are his scales particularly smooth?" After the child was born, Jones always wanted to see the child, but Shu Shu and Edgar hid the child so well that he never saw him.
 
"He looks very good, but he has no scales." Shu Shu replied. His youngest son's beast form looked very beautiful and was a thousand times better than his oldest son’s!
 
Had no scales? Could it be that there was something wrong with the child? Having heard what was said, Jones was shocked. At this time, Shu Shu lifted open the muslin covering the nursery basket.
 
In the Beastman Empire, because children were born from eggs, newborn children were very small in size regardless of whether they were beastman babies or sub-beastman babies. It was nothing much if the children were small in size, but beastman babies might change their shapes at any time, and there were all kinds of beast shapes, which made it very inconvenient to hold them. Later, someone invented the nursery basket.
 
This was a lightweight and portable big basket that allowed a beastman baby or a sub-beastman baby to lie in it, so that the child's relatives could  carry them everywhere, which was very convenient.
 
Shu Shu opened the muslin covering the nursery basket, and Jones finally saw the situation inside the nursery basket, but the basket was clearly empty . . . .
 
"What about the child?" Jones asked in puzzlement.
 
"Isn't he here?" Shu Shu picked up a little hamster from under the towel spread at the bottom of the nursery basket.
 
"!!!" Staring at the little hamster in Shu Shu's hand, Jones was stunned. "How’s he a hamster?"

"This child’s like me!" Shu Shu was quite proud of himself.
 
"But . . . normally, the beast type of a beastman child is inherited from his father." Jones' expression was quite tangled. In the Beastman Empire, the reproduction of a beastman and a sub-beastman relied on the beast bead that formed a womb within the sub-beastman’s body, and the process of producing offspring was a battle between the genes of both sides.
 
If the beastman father's genes prevailed in the embryo, the embryo would grow into a little beastman. If the sub-beastman mother's genes prevailed in the embryo, the embryo would grow into a sub-beastman.
 
Because of this, if the child born to the couple was a beastman, his beast form would definitely be exactly the same as his beastman father’s. If the child was a sub-beastman, his racial type would be the same as his sub-beastman mother’s.
 
Although a child was the offspring of a beastman and a sub-beastman, 90% of the genes in the beastman baby were inherited from the beastman father, and 90% of the genes in the sub-beastman baby were inherited from the sub-beastman mother.
 
But now . . . why was the little beastman's beast shape different from Edgar’s and similar to Shu Shu’s instead?
 
Wait a minute . . . Shu Shu seemed to be . . . a beastman, too? Jones suddenly remembered that Shu Shu had once turned into a hamster in front of him . . . . Shu Shu had a lot of secrets on his body, and he could also become a hamster. It would seem that the child being like this . . . was quite normal?
 
Jones quickly figured it out, but old Dean was still confused. "It's truly strange. Could it be that this little beastman inherited too many of the crown princess’ genes? In that case, shouldn’t he grow up into a sub-beastman?"
 
Dean’s thought strayed to a not-so-good area; he planned to say something but ultimately held back. After the crown princess had just given birth to his first child, he rushed to conceive a second one, and then he went through a kidnapping and nearly died. It was said that his life was very difficult then. Under these circumstances, the child might have suffered some injuries. Would it be . . . genetic mutation?
 
No wonder the crown prince and the crown princess kept the child well-hidden after the child broke the shell. It turned out that the child had a problem!
 
Dean felt very sorry for the child in front of him. In the end, he merely asked, "Which child will be checked first?" Besides the little hamster who got much attention, the little snake was also brought. However, he was coiled around Edgar’s body, very normal and very spirited, and almost completely ignored.
 
"Check Xiao Bao first." Edgar pulled the little snake off his body.
 
90% of the little snake's genes were from Edgar. All the data that came out of the examination were very good, much better than Edgar's when he was a child, and his development was extremely advanced.
 
"The child’s beast bead looks very beautiful. His beast core looks quite different from ordinary beast core, but the energy fluctuation in it is very strong. He’ll definitely grow up into a strong beastman and should be likely to surpass his father." After Dean and Jones finished checking the little snake, they spoke briefly of the little snake’s condition in addition to praising him—this was the first time they saw such a strong and powerful little beastman.
 
After the little snake had been checked, it was the little hamster's turn.
 
The little hamster’s size was really too small, causing a little trouble for the checkup, but it still went smoothly in the end. As the results of the checkup came out one by one, Jones and Dean's expressions became more and more grave.
 
"This child . . . . He has no beast bead in his body!" Dean's expression was very ugly when he said this. A beastman without beast bead indicated that he was infertile, which could be said to be a handicap.
 
The second child of His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince and the crown princess actually didn’t have a beast bead . . . .
 
Edgar was somewhat surprised when he heard what was said, his brows puckering slightly.
 
The child had no beast bead; could he still be considered as a beastman? If he was not regarded as a beastman, then he in the future . . . . Edgar suddenly recalled that Shu Shu was also a beastman without a beast bead, and then . . . he had children.
 
His little son was in fact not a beastman in the traditional sense but a “sub-beastman” like Shu Shu?
 
Edgar was a little worried when he knew the results of the checkup, but after thinking carefully about it, that worry immediately disappeared, leaving only joy.
 
He always wanted a sub-beastman child, and now he had!
 
Edgar thought of this implication, and so did Shu Shu, which made him very happy as well—this child was like him in all respects; how good, ah! As for having no beast bead . . . he did not have it either, yet didn't he grow up well?
 
Edgar and Shu Shu were very happy. Seeing their expressions, Jones also felt relieved, but the other doctor present was not aware of this.
 
"Your Imperial Highness, although the little prince has no beast bead in his body, and his hamster build leaned to small beast type that’s unsuitable for fighting, but he’s still very healthy." Dean tried to comfort the crown prince and his wife and could not help but give the little hamster a pitying glance. Such a little beastman would be overshadowed by his older brother in the future, right?
 
Or worse, the imperial family would hide him as airtight as before and keep him hidden from others forever . . . .
 
"I know, this child’s very healthy." Edgar said. He saw Dean’s expression and realized that Dean, who did not know Shu Shu's situation, must have misunderstood, but he had no intention to explain.
 
After putting the little hamster, who was very impatient with the medical examination, into the nursery basket again, Edgar briefed Dean and Jones to not divulge the child's condition and then went back with Shu Shu and the children.
 
Edgar and Shu Shu did not care about the checkup results at all. Jones later figured it out, but Dean was very uneasy. Of course, even so, he still said nothing when facing people outside and didn’t even show the slightest difference in front of them. However, he looked for Edgar a few days later and put forward a proposal, hoping to check the two children once every few days to record the children's growths.
 
"Checkup every few days? Isn't it too much?" Edgar asked.
 
"It’s not too much. Actually, it’s the same as when you’re a child, Your Imperial Highness, and I also recorded all your data at that time . . . . You grew very fast then." Dean said. In fact, this kind of check up was not necessary, but he was really uneasy about the little prince who had no beast bead. He thought about recording his data and then doing research to see if there were other ways to stimulate him to grow a beast bead.
 
Edgar considered it and then agreed with Dean's request.
 
Xiao Bao had no problem at all, but Xiao Bei’s situation was very special. Edgar felt it was quite necessary to record his development so that there was a reference if there were more children like Xiao Bei born in the imperial family in the future.
 
The little snake and the little hamster began their new life of having a medical examination every few days. At the beginning, they were very curious about the various machines that gave them medical examinations, and the little hamster always couldn't help but gnaw on them, but after a few more times, they never took it seriously again.
 
That's when Dean once again discovered a big problem with the little hamster.
 
The little hamster, he grew too slow!
 
Beastmen were usually small when they were born, but they grew very fast, and oftentimes, they could grow very big in just a short time. The little snake's weight and length had already grown a lot.
 
But the little hamster, he hardly grew. If he continued like this . . . maybe he would only be as big as a fist after he grew up!

97. Gluttonous Little Hamster
 

The hole in the eggshell was now about the size of a fingernail. The little hamster tried to get out but found that he could not, so he stopped moving.
 
But after a short pause, he moved again and began to gnaw at the eggshell with difficulty.
 
"He actually has teeth!" Shu Shu stared at the little hamster with some surprise. The hamster babies he had seen before had no teeth when they were just born, and it was simply impossible for them to bite off an eggshell.
 
"Beastmen don’t breastfeed and generally develop their teeth while inside the egg." Edgar explained while fixing his eyes on the little hamster.
 
Shu Shu nodded and continued to stare at the egg without blinking.
 
By this time, the child had already gnawed the hole a little bigger and was slowly crawling out of it.
 
A newborn baby hamster was normally unable to open its eyes and had no hair on its body, looking extraordinarily immature and tender. But this was really not the case for the little hamster who crawled out of the eggshell. Although he also looked pink and tender, his body was already covered with a layer of short fur, and his eyes could open as well.
 
He was only the size of Edgar's thumb and seemed to be extremely delicate, making it very hard to believe that such a small thing could actually open the eggshell and drill out of it . . . . Shu Shu once again felt indescribably sorry for the child, whose mode of reproduction had changed from viviparous to oviparous.
 
"He's so cute." Edgar only felt that his heart had melted looking at the tiny child, but he did not dare to reach out and caress his child. "He’s so small . . ."
 
"Yeah, why’s he so small? Such a big egg only contains such a small hamster?" Shu Shu picked up the eggshell in puzzlement, looked through the hole, and saw that the inside of the egg was completely empty.
 
There was really only a thumb-sized little hamster inside such a big egg.
 
"You’re also not much bigger than him." Edgar glanced at Shu Shu, and then his gaze fell on the newborn child again. At this moment, the snake-shaped Xiao Bao slithered over and flicked his forked tongue toward the little hamster.
 
A snake and a newborn little hamster who looked tasty with not much hair in the way . . . . Seeing this scene, Shu Shu was so nervous he grabbed Xiao Bao subconsciously. "Xiao Bao, turn into a person!"
 
He knew that his first son was not malicious to his second son, but this scene really made him feel a little overwhelmed . . . .
 
The little snake gave Shu Shu a questioning glance. Under the nourishment of spiritual power, he could already control himself to transform into a human shape or a beast shape, so after hearing Shu Shu's words and flicking his snake tongue again, he turned into a baby and then looked at the little hamster curiously.
 
The little snake became a white and tender baby, and Shu Shu had no psychological barrier anymore. Picking up the little hamster, Shu Shu put him in the little snake’s hand. "This is your younger brother. You must take good care of him, okay? "
 
"Xiao Bao hasn’t learned to control his strength yet. How can you give him the child?" Edgar frowned. He kept an eye on the little snake to prevent him from harming the little hamster while educating the little snake like Shu Shu had done. "Xiao Bao, this is your younger brother, and you’re the older brother. In the future, you must take good care of your younger brother, and you must not let your younger brother get hurt . . . ."
 
At first glance, it was plain to see that the little snake had rough skin and thick flesh and was capable of enduring falling and beating. But this child . . . . Edgar always felt that he could not use any force at all when touching the child.
 
The little snake nodded without really understanding it. He had only been born not long ago. Although beastmen developed quickly, and he had the assistance of spiritual power to develop faster than ordinary beastmen, he certainly didn’t understand everything.
 
However . . . feeling the warmth in the palm of his hand, the little snake vaguely felt that he had to protect this little thing in the palm of his hand well.
 
Such a mouthful of edible little thing, if he did not protect it well, it might be accidentally gone!
 
Staring at the little hamster in his palm, the little snake frowned tightly, and his little face looked very serious.
 
At this time, the little hamster in the hollow of the little snake’s hand moved and lifted his head in Shu Shu’s direction.
 
"Little guy, do you want your mother?" Shu Shu plucked the little hamster from the hollow of the little snake’s hand and held him in his hand. He loved to get close to people, so he really wanted to kiss this little guy who looked like himself. But . . . this child was too small!
 
Looking at the child in the hollow of his palm, Shu Shu was a little at a loss. The child, however, was still moving incessantly and tried to climb down from Shu Shu's arm. At the same time, he kept raising his head in one direction while his eyes opened wider and wider.
 
"What the heck are you looking at?" Shu Shu was very puzzled.
 
Edgar did not dare to touch the child, but he kept watching the child attentively as well as observing all the child's behavior. At this moment, he suddenly said, "He’s looking at the fried rice."
 
"What?" Shu Shu stared blankly.
 
"He should be looking at those foods." Edgar said. This child was truly exactly the same as Shu Shu. Didn’t Shu Shu just want to rush over when he saw food?
 
Shu Shu stared at the child in his hand for a while and finally placed him on the table. Then he saw the child quickly run to the plate with fried rice and try to climb up the smooth plate by holding onto it with his paws. It was a pity that the plate was quite big, and the edge was also not low. With his clumsy movements, there was no way at all for him to climb in. He could only watch the plate helplessly.
 
". . ." Shu Shu was temporarily speechless while suddenly thinking of one thing—this child had stayed inside the eggshell for a long time without any movement; later, his fried rice was brought to him, and the child suddenly began to fight the eggshell and soon drilled out of it . . . . Could it be that it was because he smelled the fried rice?
 
Why was his child like this, ah?! Was it really okay for him to be so gluttonous? Shu Shu was depressed.
 
"He's like you, fixing his gaze on food." Edgar commented, the corners of his mouth giving rise to a smile.
 
". . ." Shu Shu was even more depressed.
 
The little hamster went around the plate once and was still unable to see the food. Finally, he stopped moving.
 
"Be good, Xiao Bei. You’re just born and unsuitable to eat fried rice . . ." Shu Shu wanted to get the child back upon seeing this, but unexpectedly, Xiao Bei suddenly turned into a person at this moment.
 
A naked baby with only a few sparse hair on his head appeared on the dining table and then plunged his whole face into the plate with the fried rice. To say nothing of plunging his head into the plate, he also took a mouthful of fried rice.
 
My son was amazing! Shu Shu hugged the child and found that his face was full of rice grains, but the child hardly cared about it and started to chew the rice. Shu Shu suddenly admired him somewhat.
 
When he was just born, he would only fight over breast milk with his brothers and sisters. His son, however, was much more powerful and directly fought over food with him, his mother.
 
"I'm going to get some baby food." Edgar said. The spaceship had brought a lot of supplies, which included various kinds of foods suitable for beastman and sub-beastman babies to eat. As for fried rice . . . . Little beastmen could immediately eat meat as well as all kinds of foods that adult beastmen ate, but they should not eat seasonings, not even salt. As it happened, Shu Shu's fried rice contained a good deal of seasonings.
 
When taking care of the little snake, Edgar felt that it did not matter if the child ate a bit rough. The little snake liked to eat some fried rice, and he would not stop him. Yet when it was this child's turn . . . . Thinking of the little hairless guy, Edgar grabbed the beastman baby food and then stuffed the food prepared for sub-beastman baby into his space button as well.
 
"Edgar, the child’s been born? Is it a beastman or a sub-beastman?" Jones always paid attention to Edgar and Shu Shu’s situation and immediately came to find them.
 
"It's a little beastman." Edgar said.
 
Another little beastman? Jones was somewhat disappointed, but recalling that he did not even have one little beastman now, he was rather envious. "Congratulations."
 
Edgar smiled and nodded. "I still have something. I’ll go back first."
 
Edgar quickly left. Jones stood still yet could not help but stroke his own belly.
 
"You also want a child?" Reynolds suddenly appeared behind Jones. He picked Jones up and carried Jones back to their room. "I must work hard!"
 
After Edgar left the room, the child whose head was planted on the plate became a little hamster again.
 
Shu Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He put the little hamster on the table again and then moved the fried rice to the cupboard on the side . . . . Even if it had already been eaten, and there was spiritual power that could protect the child, he still wouldn’t give him the opportunity to eat a second mouthful.
 
However, when he turned his head to look at the child after doing all this, he suddenly found that the little hamster actually took a grain of rice out of his mouth, held it with his paws, and began to nibble at it.
 
It felt like this child had already seized the opportunity just now to hide the rice in his food pouches and was currently about to taste it slowly in his little hamster form!
 
Shu Shu glanced at the little snake on the side who was staring at the little hamster curiously and suddenly realized that his eldest son was in fact very cute, too.
 
After Edgar returned, he first took out the rice paste for sub-beastman babies to eat. As a result, the little hamster turned up his nose at it. Only when he took out the meat chunks for little beastmen to eat did the little hamster deigned to eat them. As the little hamster ate, he also stored the food in his food pouches.
 
Although this child had just been born, he had learned to store food, which was self-taught, as well as being picky about food.
 
By comparison, the little snake was much more well-behaved. After Edgar handed him the opened rice paste for sub-beastman babies to eat, he did not refuse it at all and spooned himself big mouthfuls of it until it was completely finished.
 
The little hamster was a bit gluttonous but had no other problems at all and was very easy to raise.
 
However, he was really so small that Shu Shu was always very worried. He worried that he would be careless and accidentally lost the child. It was still fine if he only lost the child, but if he accidentally stepped on him . . . .
 
In the evening, Shu Shu found a box, put the little hamster in it, and placed the box on his headboard. Only then did he get into Edgar's arms to sleep. At the same time, the news of him and Edgar having another little beastman spread in the base.
 
The fallen beasts were very happy and spontaneously celebrating for Edgar and Shu Shu. Looking at the great celebration scene outside, Myer felt terribly bitter and sour.
 
He always felt that he was much more outstanding than Shu Shu, but in the end? Not only did Shu Shu possess such an innate skill of "healing", but he also came up with a method to help the fallen beasts restore their beast cores.
 
Now, he even had two children.
 
Edgar and Shu Shu's second child had come out of the shell. After the people in the base heard this news, they began to raise their heads and look around, hoping to see the cute little beastman.
 
However, the crown prince and the crown princess, who never restrained the little snake from running around, had actually hidden their second child well out of sight. It had been a few days since the child was born, but everyone still couldn’t see the appearance of the little beastman.
 
While people in the base were being very curious about the mysterious little beastman, Shu Shu was currently in a quandary as he looked at the snake and the little hamster in front of him.
 
The little hamster would crawl after he was born, and his movements had become extremely flexible in just a few days. After that, he became more and more naughty.
 
It was originally not a big deal for him to become naughty, but the scene right now . . . .
 
A little hamster was running in front, and a four-legged little snake was chasing behind and would roll up the little hamster when he caught up . . . . Even if this was not the first time Shu Shu saw this situation, he still felt that his heart could not stand it.
 
He wanted to stop the little snake from chasing the little hamster, but he initially hadn’t been very friendly to the little snake's beast form, and if he was like that again, the little snake would surely feel deeply hurt, right? After all, he only wanted to play with his younger brother . . . .   

After pondering for a while, Shu Shu suddenly thought of an idea, and his eyes brightened.
