107. A Menacing Rival in Love, Part 2


The reception of the Princess of Kamira was held at Beast Palace.

Beast Palace was originally part of the imperial palace. Naturally, it was a very majestic palace with a long history as well as unique political significance—the emperor of the Beastman Empire at that time announced the change of the autocratic monarchy to a constitutional monarchy and formed the parliament here, and the first appointed prime minister was also inaugurated here.
　　
Because of these reasons, the government of the Beastman Empire would often borrow this place from the imperial family to hold some activities. Elections and high-level inauguration ceremonies were all held here.
　　
The imperial family was short of people but had lots of money, and there was no shortage of houses for them to live in. This palace was basically not used, and later, it was simply donated . . . . So now, Beast Palace no longer belonged to the imperial family and had become a symbol of the Beastman Empire.
　　
The hall of Beast Palace was brightly lit, and even the nearby roads were bright like it was daylight. So when Edgar's aircraft stopped at the gate of Beast Palace, everyone looked over.
　　
"Your Imperial Majesty." People from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs approached Edgar's aircraft to greet Edgar.
　　
Edgar, however, did not go down immediately but looked at the hamster inside the paper cup filled with popcorn held in his hand. "Are you okay?"
　　
The hamster hummed and began to stuff the popcorn into his mouth at the fastest speed.
　　
Prior to this, Shu Shu turned into a hamster and jumped into a paper cup filled with popcorn. Afterwards, he fell in love with the feeling of lying down in the fragrant and sweet popcorn and wanted Edgar to bring the paper cup containing him to the Beast Palace so that he could eat popcorn while watching the alien princess.
　　
However, while Edgar was willing to bring Shu Shu to Beast Palace, he was not willing to bring a paper cup loaded with popcorn to Beast Palace—others maybe would feel that the emperor was nice for bringing a "pet" to welcome the alien princess, but if he carried a bucket of movie theater popcorn which also contained a hamster that munched incessantly . . . everyone would think he had a problem, okay? He might also be accused of mistreating the animal because hamsters certainly couldn’t eat everything.
　　
What's more, the imperial attire really didn’t match with the popcorn.
　　
So, as soon as Edgar arrived at Beast Palace, he wanted to get the little hamster out of the paper cup. But obviously, the little hamster was not willing at all—Shu Shu hated to part with the popcorn and insisted on eating it up or at least storing it in his food pouches.
　　
As a matter of fact, he was striving to stuff all the popcorn into his mouth.
　　
The beast form that Shu Shu showed for the first time was much thinner than it was now. Nowadays, he had become so fat, and Edgar wondered whether it would affect his health . . . . Seeing Shu Shu stuff all the popcorn into his mouth, Edgar chuckled and put Shu Shu in the hollow of his hand.
　　
Shu Shu's body exuded the smell of popcorn, which smelled fragrant and sweet. Edgar put Shu Shu under his nose, sniffing at him, and then stroked him.
　　
Anyway . . . after Shu Shu became fat, stroking him really felt much better.
　　
Edgar's attire was somewhat similar to the military uniform. Putting Shu Shu in his chest pocket, he walked off the aircraft.
　　
People of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw at a glance a little hamster’s tiny head sticking out of the pocket of His Imperial Majesty's jacket, but they were already used to it.
　　
His Imperial Majesty kept a hamster as a pet, which was no secret at all in the Beastman Empire—His Imperial Majesty had taken this hamster in public several times and was even photographed eating with this hamster on one occasion, causing a storm.
　　
This time, the Princess of Kamira came suddenly, so their reception was not too solemn and ceremonious. Naturally, it did not matter if His Imperial Majesty came with his pet.
　　
"Has the Princess of Kamira arrived?" Edgar, coming down from the aircraft, immediately asked.
　　
"Your Imperial Majesty, they’re about two minutes away." The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied.
　　
"Fine." Edgar responded and walked in.
　　
Because this thing came up so suddenly, Beast Palace was not decorated much. However, it was originally a palace full of characteristics of the Beastman Empire, and sometimes, less decoration actually made it look very tasteful and not discourteous at all.
　　
After Edgar went in, he chatted with several government officials who came over to talk and was informed that the people of the Kamira Empire had arrived.
　　
Edgar had seen and made contact with the people of the Kamira Empire at one time, so he was not curious at all. Shu Shu, however, stuck his head out of Edgar’s pocket and opened his eyes wide in the direction of the door—space aliens were coming! He really wanted to see what they looked like!
　　
The people of the Kamira Empire soon came in. A group of people who were mostly men and looked like the people on the earth was led by a beautiful woman wearing a huge and luxuriant skirt. The skirt was really so huge that it could practically fit in a few people.
　　
This woman looked very similar to humans, except that her hair looked a little different because each strand was as thick as a chopstick . . . .
　　
Wait! This was a woman! A woman!
　　
Shu Shu suddenly realized that the princess from the Kamira Empire was a real princess. She was a woman with bosom!
　　
Shu Shu’s previous owners were basically women, but since he came to the Beastman Empire, he had never seen any woman again . . . . Seeing a beautiful woman with a full and bulging bosom, Shu Shu was stunned.
　　
He did not expect that there were actually women in the interstellar. If he had known about this earlier . . . . Well, even if he had known about this earlier, he reckoned he would still be with Edgar. After all, Edgar was really good to him.
　　
However, it would be better if Edgar was not a snake and a woman instead . . . . He always wanted to touch a woman’s chest and wondered whether it was really as soft as written in the books.
　　
Edgar was totally unaware that Shu Shu looked down on his very flat chest. After seeing the Princess of Kamira, he bid her welcome in Kamira language.
　　
"Hello to you too, Your Respected Imperial Majesty of the Beastman Empire." The princess, lifting her particularly voluminous skirt that still dragged on the floor, bowed to Edgar and then looked at Edgar with great interest. "I didn't expect the Emperor of the Beastman Empire to be so young. It truly makes people surprised."
　　
The princess spoke the language of the Beastman Empire and quite standard too, so Edgar replied in the language of the Beastman Empire. "I also admire the beauty of the princess."
　　
"Your Imperial Majesty thinks I'm pretty?" The princess' eyes lit up, her gaze firmly locked on Edgar's face, and she suddenly said, "I wonder if I have the honor to spend a night together with Your Imperial Majesty?"
　　
Spend a night together? Did he understand it right? Edgar frowned. The people of the Kamira Empire were divided into two types, female and male. The males’ outward appearance was similar to the human form of the beastmen of the Beastman Empire, and they were usually taciturn. The ones Edgar had met before were all males, so that he was now unsure whether this female was really very enthusiastic and brazen or he had misunderstood the other party's meaning.
　　
"What did the princess mean?" Edgar asked quickly with a smile. The people of Kamira were nocturnal. He thought there should be a language difference between the two parties that made the other person say such words as "spend a night together".
　　
"I’m speaking in your language. Don't you understand?" The princess frowned. "What I said should be clear enough . . . . Emperor of the Beastman Empire, my name is Elena, one of the most powerful females of Kamira. I want to have sex with you, do you agree? ”
　　
Elena looked at Edgar expectantly. Edgar's eyes twitched, and he quickly covered his clothes pocket with his hand and directly refused, "I don't agree."
　　
"Why? Didn't you say I'm pretty?" Elena looked at Edgar in puzzlement, apparently not understanding why Edgar would refuse her.
　　
"I already have a partner." Edgar said. As he was talking, he noticed that his hand covering his pocket was bitten, and his fingers felt limp and numb. Obviously, Shu Shu was using his fingers to grind his teeth . . . .
　　
His skin was very hard, so it had to hurt Shu Shu's teeth instead . . . .
　　
"I don't mind." Elena expressed.
　　
I mind! Shu Shu was already beyond angry. If it were not for Edgar holding him back, he believed he would have run out of Edgar's pocket and clawed the woman in front of him a few times. This woman actually dared to covet his man; it was simply unforgivable!
　　
How could he think this woman was pretty before? This woman was clearly an ugly bitch! Humph! Edgar would definitely not like a woman who looked different from the sub-beastmen!
　　
"I’m sorry, but the social customs of the Beastman Empire and the Kamira Empire are different, and we’ll be loyal to our partners." Edgar said. He knew some of the social customs of the Kamira Empire. The females there would usually choose many different males to have children with. In this respect, the Kamira Empire was entirely different from the Beastman Empire.
　　
"That's really a pity . . ." Elena looked regretful. "You’re very good-looking. I really like you."
　　
"I only like my partner." Edgar replied. Not to say that he only liked Shu Shu, even if he wanted to like others, it was impossible for him to like Kamira's females . . . . Kamira's females really looked very weird. By comparison, their males were still a bit more attractive.
　　
He originally thought that only the heads and legs of the females looked weird; he did not expect that even their chests would swell up . . . .
　　
Shu Shu was totally unaware that the soft breasts of women he was very curious about and wanted to touch would be considered as looking monstrously swollen by Edgar. He was actually very happy at the moment. Edgar's public confession made him feel a little guilty toward Edgar, though—he was actually thinking about touching others, which was very inappropriate!
　　
The little hamster licked Edgar's fingers flatteringly, and his black and clear eyes looked as bright as the full moon.
　　
"What's this? Are you carrying a late-night snack?" Elena’s gaze moved away from Edgar's face and fell on the little hamster in Edgar's pocket, and she actually reached out to grab it.
　　
A late-night snack? Kamira's people seemed to like "eating" living animals . . . . Edgar quickly took a step back while protecting Shu Shu in his pocket with his hands, for fear that Shu Shu might be hurt—the people of the Kamira Empire, especially the females, were very bloodthirsty.
　　
"Your speed’s so fast!" After Elena's extended hand was avoided by Edgar, she was not angry at all and looked at Edgar with great interest instead.
　　
Her skirt was huge, but it hardly affected her mobility. Her figure flashed past and instantly appeared in front of Edgar, grabbing Shu Shu in Edgar's pocket.
　　
"Princess Elena, please stop!" Edgar evaded again, his face a little unsightly.
　　
However, Elena simply had no intent to stay out of it. Her huge skirt swayed, and she moved to another position at lightning speed and once again reached out a hand to grab Shu Shu.
　　
Edgar had dodged and let her go twice. Seeing this situation, he refused to dodge again and immediately reached out and caught Elena’s hand. His spiritual power poured into Elena’s arm, making her arm numb for a moment, and at the same time, Edgar threw her out.
　　
How could a proper welcome banquet for the Kamira Empire turn into this? The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Beastman Empire was stunned, looking at the current situation helplessly. He frowned, thinking of negotiating with Elena. Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, he actually saw this princess being treated ruthlessly by the emperor as the emperor's eyes blazed with anger. Meanwhile, the princess also picked up her skirt . . . .
　　
Oh, crap! The Minister of Foreign Affairs opened his eyes wide in horror. There’re sub-beastmen at the banquet; don’t scare them off, ah!
　　
What the hell was this woman thinking, ah?! Shu Shu, nesting in Edgar’s pocket, covered his eyes with his paws—lifting her skirt and what not at a banquet, she was simply playing rogue . . . . She would not think of seducing Edgar like this, right?
　　
Shu Shu covered his eyes in a way that said “I definitely wouldn’t look”, yet the gaps between his claws were very big and did not obstruct his line of sight at all. At the same time, he was also ready to pounce on Edgar's face at any time. Edgar was simply not allowed to look at other people's bodies!
　　
Then, Shu Shu saw the "beautiful scenery under the princess’ skirt".
　　
What the hell was that? How could such a beautiful woman actually have lots of tentacles as thick and solid as his arm instead of a pair of legs under her skirt?
　　
The little hamster's mouth opened up slightly in stupefaction. Was this . . . an octopus spirit?
　　
That's right, this Princess Elena had no legs. Moving to and fro under the huge skirt were densely packed tentacles. These tentacles were somewhat similar to the squid arms that Shu Shu liked to eat. After the skirt was lifted, these tentacles spread out, making threatening gestures.
　　
"It's much more comfortable now." Elena said. However, the people of the Beastman Empire around her spontaneously drew back in concert, getting out of the way and giving her enough space to stretch her legs.

106. A Menacing Rival in Love, Part 1


Time flew, and Shu Shu had already taken up duty as the empress for three years.

A year ago, Edgar completely took over the industries that Chris set aside for him. Then Chris took Ian out of the capital star for interstellar travel along with Fred and Gary.
　　
This was the first time the two children left Shu Shu for a long time. Although Shu Shu often felt that they were annoying when they were around, once they left, he could not help but miss them.
　　
Of course, despite missing them, Shu Shu had to admit that his life was more comfortable without the two children . . . .
　　
He woke up early in the morning and ate a full breakfast. After that, he went to the hospital for two or three hours to see patients, and his one day's work was done. He usually went home for lunch at noon. In the afternoon, he either went to the charity hospital to perform surgery without spiritual power or learned the medical skills of the Beastman Empire or watched TV at home or went online or just did whatever he wanted to do. In the evening, Edgar returned, and they had dinner together. Then they started to tumble in the sheets or went out for a stroll and came back to tumble in the sheets.
　　
Such a life was simply wonderful!
　　
After he was together with Edgar, they got married right away without dating. They barely bonded after marriage and immediately had children. In the end, Shu Shu did not know how to talk about romance. It was only now that he got the feeling of being in love.
　　
Unconsciously, Shu Shu even became a few pounds fatter, and his face that was originally a little round became even rounder. The only thing that had not changed was his childish look.
　　
He could not do anything about it since he was a monster and not a beastman. Generally, he would always look like the age in which he transformed for the first time. If he wanted to let himself look old, he had to learn the spell of changing appearances.
　　
And Shu Shu did not want to learn this spell for the time being. He liked to watch the netizens praise him as a youthful empress.
　　
Today was Valentine's Day in the Beastman Empire. Shu Shu went online to find out what things lovers should do, and then he dragged Edgar to go watch a movie.
　　
Edgar did not like to watch movies because he had a psychological shadow toward them, but since Shu Shu wanted to watch a movie, he would naturally accompany him.
　　
The two disguised themselves and came to the movie theater together.
　　
After buying a cup of popcorn and other food offered by the movie theater, Edgar, wearing a hat and holding a pile of food, entered the viewing room with Shu Shu. "You can watch a movie at home; why do you have to come and watch it here?"
　　
"The movie theater’s equipment is the most advanced, and its film source is the most complete. It won’t be so enjoyable to watch a movie at home." Shu Shu said while holding the popcorn and stuffing his mouth with them.
　　
Edgar was silent. In fact, the private movie theater installed in the imperial palace was more advanced than the movie theaters outside. As for the film source . . . . Considering that the imperial family owned many movie theaters as well as specialized theater chains, generally, before those blockbuster movies were shown, the most complete film source was already sent to the imperial palace . . . .
　　
However, since Shu Shu wished to watch a movie outside, it did not matter as long as he was happy.
　　
Seeing that the popcorn in Shu Shu's hand was almost gone, Edgar took out a packet of fried chicken nuggets and handed it to him.
　　
Shu Shu took the fried chicken nuggets and continued to eat.
　　
These days, he became more and more fond of going online and was also fascinated by buying everything he needed online. This time, the movie tickets were also bought online by him. "Edgar, do you know that I grabbed these movie tickets? The movie theater did an activity and gave out fifty movie tickets for us to grab. My speed was the fastest, so I won first place and grabbed the lovers private room! I got the expensive lovers private room without spending a cent. Aren’t I amazing?"
　　
“Amazing." Edgar nodded earnestly. Shu Shu was a daemon after all. Although his courage was small, his reaction speed was very fast. In addition . . . the network speed in the imperial palace was an absolute killer. Therefore, it was really normal for Shu Shu to be able to grab the tickets.
　　
Shu Shu was particularly addicted to this recently, to the extent that he bought back a bunch of useless things . . . . For example, a few days before, after he became obsessed with skincare and makeup, he took advantage of a discount to buy a bunch of entry-level affordable skincare products and cosmetics recommended by some netizens. Then . . . .
　　
After applying the skincare products, he felt greasy and uncomfortable, so he turned round and threw them away. And the cosmetics? The skin decoration only made his skin worse. Some other things could be used, but it was undoubtedly too troublesome . . . .
　　
Ultimately, having only used the included sample, Shu Shu lost interest in this.
　　
Edgar had seen Shu Shu hang all these things on a website that specialized in selling second-hand goods. He was extremely hardworking and frugal, an enlightened housekeeper.
　　
Shu Shu was totally unaware of Edgar's thoughts. He felt that he was really amazing. He hummed a song and entered the lovers private room. Then he said to Edgar, "Today’s Valentine's Day. I specially chose a romance movie played by the very famous beastman actor XXX and sub-beastman actor YYY. It’s said that the movie's particularly good!"
　　
When Edgar heard the words "romance movie", he remembered that imperial family-themed movie about a crown prince and a discouraged sub-beastman which gave him a psychological shadow. His heart immediately "thumped", and he promptly went online to check the content of today's movie.
　　
Fortunately, today's movie had nothing to do with the imperial family and was mainly about career and love. Reportedly, the romance was poignant, and the entanglement was very deep.
　　
In that case, let’s watch it!
　　
Shu Shu and Edgar watched it seriously.
　　
The two protagonists of the story were lovers who grew up as childhood friends. Although they were not very rich, their relationship was very good. They had been saving money for marriage. They wanted to buy a house of their own and have a wedding that was memorable even if it was not grand.
　　
The two looked very happy. Edgar was quite satisfied with the beginning, hoping that the plot would not develop wildly. As a result . . . .
　　
When the beastman of this pair of lovers took an aircraft, the aircraft had a malfunction and accidentally crashed into another aircraft taken by the company president’s only son, a sub-beastman. The sub-beastman  at first scolded him and made him compensate for the aircraft, but later, after they got along, he fell in love with the beastman. The beastman was unaware of the sub-beastman’s feelings. As they got closer, his childhood sweetheart became jealous.
　　
In the movie, it was normal for a third person to be between the couple, and the relationship would always go through some twists and turns . . . . Edgar continued to watch.
　　
Then . . . the company president’s only son actually persuaded the beastman to take out his beast bead and ultimately snatched and ate the beastman’s beast bead!
　　
What was this development? Edgar was speechless; he really couldn't understand the behavior of the beastman in the movie. The beastman wanted to apologize to his angry sub-beastman and actually went to find another sub-beastman to help him with some ideas . . . . Even if he insisted on asking, could he not find a beastman to ask?
　　
Furthermore, the beast bead. Having been in a relationship with a sub-beastman he liked for so long, couldn’t he secretly feed him the beast bead in advance? If so, the sub-beastman he liked would not suspect him of falling in love with somebody else and then be uneasy and angry.
　　
Well, his beast bead had been eaten by another person now. Could it be that he would marry the company president’s only son?
　　
Obviously, a movie that extolled romance would not develop as Edgar thought.
　　
Although the beast bead was eaten by the company president's only son, the beastman still loved his childhood sweetheart dearly. In the latter half of the movie, he kept resisting and eventually married his own childhood sweetheart, while the company president's only son got the beast bead but not the love.
　　
Edgar: ". . ." Was it interesting that the movie was so crazy? Couldn’t you let the two main characters live well? Why did the screenwriter have to toss in a sub-beastman to mess with the couple?
　　
"Woo . . . that supporting role was so pitiful!" Shu Shu, wiping his face, cried horribly, as did everyone else in the movie theater.
　　
"Don't be sad. Generally, there won’t be such a sub-beastman in reality. Which sub-beastman will fall for a beastman who’s not as good as himself and has a lover too?" Edgar said comfortingly. He actually felt that the company president's only son had a problem in his brain.
　　
"Is that so?" Shu Shu wiped his eyes and turned his gaze toward Edgar.
　　
"Of course it is." Edgar replied. Normally, rich and good-looking sub-beastmen would not eat a beast bead indiscriminately and dig a hole for themselves for a lifetime.
　　
Shu Shu was still sobbing but looked much better. He hiccuped and said to Edgar, "I still want to eat popcorn."
　　
"I'll buy it for you." Edgar said with a smile.
　　
Edgar bought a large cup of popcorn and was about to hand it to Shu Shu, but then his communication device suddenly rang. He was contacted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Beastman Empire—an alien princess came to the Beastman Empire, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hoped that the imperial family could go to receive her.
　　
"It's night already." Edgar stated, frowning. He took his job very seriously, but he absolutely wouldn’t work at night. He wanted to have his own time to accompany Shu Shu.
　　
Otherwise . . . what’s to be done if his sub-beastman fell in love with somebody else because he could not accompany his sub-beastman all the time? The movie just now told everyone that the concept of a beast bead was not enough insurance.
　　
"People of the Kamira Empire are nocturnal." The Minister of Foreign Affairs was somewhat helpless. All their reception work had to be done at night.
　　
Edgar had already known that people of the Kamira Empire were coming, and he also knew that he was definitely going to receive them. But on Valentine's Day night . . . . The Valentine's Day gift he had prepared had not yet been given to Shu Shu.
　　
"Alien princess? I want to see!" Shu Shu, hearing the word "alien", opened his eyes wide in excitement. The people of the Beastman Empire were space aliens to him, but they looked about the same as the people on the earth, and the fact that the beastmen would change shape was something that also happened to him, a daemon, so that he simply didn’t feel like having seen the space aliens. Now, hearing that there was an alien princess coming, he naturally wanted to take a look.
　　
"Then let's go together." Edgar's mood was a lot better. If Shu Shu went along, that meant they were together.
　　
The aircraft that came to pick them up quickly set off. This was Edgar's personal aircraft; there was a special room on it, and there were a lot of his personal belongings as well as an entire set of imperial attires inside.
　　
Edgar began to change clothes as soon as he got on the aircraft. Shu Shu saw Edgar's attire and was a little terrified.
　　
After solemnly dressing up to receive the alien princess, he definitely had to talk endlessly, would not be able to eat well, and could not stare at people because that kind of staring was very rude . . . .
　　
"I don’t want to wear imperial attire." Shu Shu suddenly said.
　　
Edgar glanced at Shu Shu, "Then you change to an ordinary suit?"
　　
"No! I'm going without clothes!" Shu Shu unexpectedly said.
　　
Going without clothes?! Edgar was stunned and then saw Shu Shu suddenly disappear in front of him, and from the clothes falling on the floor, a very fat little hamster crawled out.
　　
The little hamster's fat legs were almost invisible, but his movements were very agile. He climbed to the table and then jumped into the paper cup with popcorn and began to eat the popcorn leisurely and carefree.
　　
Edgar: ". . ." Well, okay, he guessed they were going like this.

105. Little Snake’s Child Bride, Part 2


"The child is going to break the shell!" Shu Shu shouted and took a peep at Jones. The child must have absorbed his spiritual power to make him break the shell ahead of time . . . . Jones would not blame him, would he?

Of course Jones would not blame Shu Shu. In fact, right now he did not think of it at all and only stared at the egg excitedly. "He’s going to break the shell? What should I do? Oh, right, I should take a video . . ."
　　
At first, Jones anxiously glanced to left and right. Then, in a fluster, he took out a video camera from his space button and set it up to shoot a video of the child with trembling hands.
　
At this time, there was already a small opening in the egg, and the child in the egg seemed to be planning to rush out of it energetically to greet his new life.
　　
Jones watched the egg without blinking; he no longer cared about anything else. And Shu Shu, he took out some snacks and started to eat them. In between, when he saw that the child had stopped moving and seemed to be tired, he would touch the eggshell lightly and input his spiritual power to encourage the child.
　　
With Shu Shu supporting the child with spiritual power from the outside, in less than half an hour, the child had already torn a pretty big hole in the eggshell, and everyone could clearly see the situation inside.
　　
Although the child was very small, the space inside the eggshell was obviously still too small for him. The little sub-beastman in the eggshell started to struggle and cry.
　　
"Mother!" "Mother!" Two voices sounded. Shu Shu turned his head, only to find that it was actually the little snake and the little hamster who came.
　　
Nowadays, these two children could already speak most of the commonly used languages and already knew a lot of things. At this moment, having seen the situation in the eggshell, they were very curious.
　　
Fred: "Is this little baby going to come out of the eggshell?" He remembered Grandma Ian saying that there was a sub-beastman inside the egg. Was the sub-beastman coming out?
　　
"Yeah, the little baby is coming out." Shu Shu replied. "You’re also like him before, coming out of the eggshell like this. But when you came out, you’re all beast-shaped and didn’t cry at all. You’re different from sub-beastman babies." Ian took special care of Gary and always regarded Gary as a sub-beastman, but Shu Shu was different. Having said that Gary was a beastman, he really regarded Gary as a beastman.

He and Gary were both men! Men! Which should be the same as beastmen!
　　
Shu Shu was talking, and there was a crisp sound in the air. The eggshell was broken from the struggle, and at the same time, a cute, wet little baby rolled out of it.
　　
The child was still a baby. His body was white and tender, and his ears were like Jones’ leopard ears but without much hair on them and still sticking to his head.
　　
Truly a cute little baby!
　　
Shu Shu already had two children. Although he thought that this child was very cute, he did not think that it was such a novelty. Jones, however, was already so excited he was at a loss to know what to do. As for the two children . . . .
　　
It was the first time Fred saw a little sub-beastman, and he stared at the sub-beastman without blinking. Gary, however, was obviously not interested in the sub-beastman. After glancing at the sub-beastman casually, he no longer paid attention to the sub-beastman. Instead, he climbed onto Shu Shu and asked Shu Shu to hold him.
　　
"What must I do? I . . ." After the little sub-beastman rolled out, he probably discovered that his living space was not narrow at all, so he was in a very good mood, waving his hands and smiling. And Jones, seeing this scene, was all the more at a loss to know what to do. He simply didn’t dare to touch the little sub-beastman; as if the child would be injured if he somewhat used a little force to touch.
　　
Jones did not dare to touch, but Fred was different. He played with Gary as soon as Gary was born, not afraid that he would hurt the child.
　　
"This is a sub-beastman. Can he become my wife?" Fred turned into his snake form and climbed onto the testing platform where the egg was put. After that, he turned back into a human form and hugged the little sub-beastman and also kissed the little sub-beastman's face.
　　
In this way, after the little sub-beastman was born, Fred became the first person to hold and kiss him.
　　
It was the first time the little sub-beastman was touched by someone. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Fred curiously, and then he gave Fred a big smile.
　　
The newborn baby was covered with mucus and exuding his own unique scent. Not only did Fred not find this scent disgusting, he even liked it. He kissed the little sub-beastman’s face again and also stuck out his tongue to lick it.
　　
The little sub-beastman smiled again, but Jones' face turned black. His son had just been born and was already taken advantage of by a beastman!
　　
"Mother, I want him to be my wife!" Fred suddenly said. He also wanted a wife whom he could kiss and touch as he wished and who could sleep together with him. So when he was driven out because father wanted to sleep together with mother and grandfather wanted to sleep together with grandmother, he could also hug his own sub-beastman to sleep!
　　
"If you can chase him, he can be your wife. You must be nice to him, you know?" Shu Shu said without thinking the matter through.
　　
"I know!" Fred nodded. He suddenly reached out and grabbed a nut from Shu Shu's hand and was going to feed it to the newborn little sub-beastman.  "For you to eat . . ."
　　
"Little babies can't eat this." Jones, who had been in a daze, immediately reached out and snatched his own child back. His child was still small and certainly couldn't be booked just like that! Also, how could a newly born sub-beastman eat nuts?
　　
If Reynolds knew what had just happened, he would probably flip out . . . . Wait a minute, he was too excited after seeing the child break the shell and seemed to have forgotten to inform Reynolds?
　　
Holding the child, Jones froze.
　　
Gaze firmly locked on the little sub-beastman, Fred sadly stuffed the nut into his own mouth. Then he suddenly recalled . . . it seemed that the eggshell was also quite delicious?
　　
Picking up the eggshell left by the little sub-beastman, Fred opened his mouth and bit it and immediately frowned—the taste of this eggshell was not as delicious as his own eggshell . . . .
　　
It smelled pretty good, though. Of course, the little sub-beastman still smelled the best.
　　
This was indeed his wife, and he had to be nice to him.
　　
Fred’s whole heart and eyes were full of his "wife", but Jones, who had always doted on him before, took his "wife" away. In the end, he could only watch his "wife" leave.
　　
Anyway, the next time he went to Dr. Jones’ place, he should be able to see his wife again! Thinking of this, Fred was very happy.
　　
Fred was happy, but Reynolds was furious.
　　
He could not even watch the birth of his child!
　　
Being unable to watch his child be born was still fine, but his newly born child was actually taken advantage of by a stinky boy!
　　
Smelling Fred's scent on his child’s body and seeing Fred's tooth marks on his child's shell, Reynolds had an urge to beat up this boy.
　　
"Didn't you say that you admire Fred because he’s very strong and will probably be stronger than Edgar in the future and thus will become the strongest beastman?" Jones, seeing Reynolds gnashing his teeth, was somewhat speechless. When they were on Fallen Beast Planet, he and Reynolds often took care of Fred, so they both liked him very much. Reynolds was even full of praise for the child. Why did he suddenly change his tune now?
　　
Although Jones was a little unhappy to see Fred taking advantage of his son, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it would be great if his son could have a partner like Fred, ah.
　　
"Even if I admire him, he also can't do that!" Reynolds said with gritted teeth. He held back for a moment and suddenly uttered a few words, "You and Ian are friends. If we’re really going to take it into account, Fred must call our child uncle. How can they be together? "

Jones:" . . . "
　　
Every time Reynolds watched the video taken when his child was born, he felt heartbroken when he saw the image of Fred taking advantage of his child. And when he saw the tooth marks on his child’s eggshell, which he kept, he was even more heartbroken. Yet he was not willing to destroy the image, nor was he willing to destroy the eggshell, so he could only feel heartbroken over and over again.
　　
However, despite being heartbroken, he actually didn't take this matter seriously. Fred was still young. He was now interested in the little sub-beastman, but he might not be in the future . . . .
　　
Reynolds thought very well, but things once again didn’t develop as he imagined.
　　
Fred continued to be interested in the little sub-beastman, and this interest had grown stronger with age.
　　
He could not roughhouse with the little sub-beastman like he did with Gary, but even if he could only play cooking games with the little sub-beastman, he was perfectly happy.
　　
The little sub-beastman was much younger than him and knew far less than him, but he did not dislike him at all. He liked to tell the little sub-beastman stories from books, and after seeing the little sub-beastman’s worshipping gaze, he was even more excited and eager to tell him stories for three days and three nights.
　　
This was when they were children. Once they grew up . . . .
　　
Fred did not hesitate one bit to beat down all the beastmen who tried to get close to the little sub-beastman. This was his wife, and he certainly couldn’t let others snatch his wife!
　　
And every time Fred turned his gaze toward the little sub-beastman after he was done hitting people, he always found that the little sub-beastman was watching him adoringly, which made him wish for a few more beastmen to come so he could beat them up.
　　
Regarding this situation, Reynolds initially felt depressed and tried to block this evil-intentioned beastman from getting close to his son. But later, his depression turned into anxiety.
　　
Fred was too outstanding, and it was obvious that his son had already a good opinion of Fred. If Fred fell for another sub-beastman in the future . . . his son would certainly be very sad, right?
　　
Once Reynolds had such thoughts, he became more and more worried. Not only did he not dare to block Fred from getting close to his son, he even did not dare to scold Fred as before.
　　
He did not want his son to be sad. He wished for his son to be happy.
　　
Thinking about it this way, Reynolds was even more valiant in his career. Fred not only had a good family background, he was high-born too. He definitely couldn't let his son be looked down on . . . . Even if Fred, the child he watched growing up, would certainly not look down on them.
　　
In the end, Reynolds strived to become a marshal.
　　
He finally didn't have to worry about others saying that his son was not worthy of Crown Prince Fred! Reynolds was extremely happy. He told this to Jones and his child proudly and planned to sound out the other party in a few days. It was better to settle the marriage of the two children earlier, so as to avoid Fred falling in love with somebody else as time went by.
　　
The little sub-beastman looked at his father with a bit of helplessness, "Father, you think too much."
　　
"How can I think too much?! If you don't hurry up to bind Fred, what will you do if he falls for others in the future?" Reynolds was not convinced. Fred was barely an adult, and his son had just grown to adulthood not long after. At this time, he still didn't know what love was and was thinking of not marrying for a lifetime so that no one would control him!
　　
"Fred has fed me his beast bead. There’s no way he’ll fall in love with somebody else." The little sub-beastman was very confident in himself.
　　
"What ?!" Reynolds once again blew his top.
　　
He definitely couldn’t let that boy marry his son so easily!

104. Little Snake’s Child Bride, Part 1


Reynolds sometimes felt that his beautiful life now was just like a dream.

He became a fallen beast, but unexpectedly, he could still recover, marry his beloved sub-beastman, and even have his own child.
　　
He was truly blessed. He was simply the most blessed person in this world!
　　
However, although he was blessed, he still occasionally ran into some situations that were beyond his endurance.
　　
Reynolds, who quickly accepted the reality after finding out that he had become a fallen beast and had never cried or been scared, cried when Jones gave birth to the child. It was fine if he only cried, but he also fainted.
　　
He followed Jones into the delivery room, and then, when Jones, the man with a geriatric pregnancy, calmly gave birth to a child, he trembled from head to foot and cried. When Jones smoothly delivered the child, he fainted.
　　
Jones: ". . ." Was it necessary to be so exaggerated? Didn’t Reynolds used to be a guy who could still laugh after getting blown up and being badly mangled? Why was he so useless now?
　　
Because Shu Shu had helped him adjust his body in advance, the delivery was very smooth, but he still felt a lot of pain and was slightly angry with Reynolds. As a result, when he was about to vent his anger, Reynolds actually fainted.
　　
He was a sub-beastman who had just given birth to a child, and he even had to spend effort in thinking about how to take care of his beastman's body?
　　
Originally, Reynolds should be the one who carried him to the bed, but now . . . . Jones could only let the robot lift himself off the delivery bed and onto the bed on the side while also carrying Reynolds and his egg.
　　
After doing all this, Jones took out his contact terminal and personally contacted his friends to tell them that he had given birth.
　　
"Where's Reynolds? Why is it not him who came to inform me?" Ian frowned as he saw the haggard Jones on the other end of the contact terminal. Sub-beastmen who had just given birth should not need to do anything.
　　
"He fainted." Jones turned his camera to the unconscious Reynolds.
　　
"!!!" Ian did not hesitate one bit to reply, "I'll come over right away."
　　
Ian did arrive in front of Jones quickly and even brought Chris and his big grandson—the little snake was mainly taken care of by them nowadays.
　　
"What happened to Reynolds?" Chris looked at Reynolds worriedly as soon as he arrived.
　　
"Too excited and fainted." Jones smirked. At this time, Ian already helped Jones to clean up Jones' egg while the little snake on the side was staring fixedly at the egg.
　　
The little snake had grown very big these days and could easily swallow fist-sized eggs. Jones had personally seen him eat before. That time, after the little snake swallowed a whole raw, unshelled egg, there was a bulge in his belly. He then flung himself down to the ground, the egg broke, and his body shape returned to normal . . . .
　　
Recalling that scene, Jones was somewhat anxious. "Fred, you can't eat this egg."
　　
Ian was temporarily speechless. "Fred doesn't eat everything."
　　
"My brain’s muddled . . . . Gary is the one who wants to taste everything . . ." Jones covered his forehead.
　　
Gary? Speaking of Gary, the child might actually drool when he saw such a big egg . . . . Ian was sitting on a chair holding the egg and said to the snake-shaped Fred, "Fred, there’s a little baby inside this egg, you know? And it’s a cute sub-beastman."
　　
The little snake looked at the egg with doubts in his eyes. His father said that he was a beastman and could not get too close to sub-beastmen, including his mother, but he could take a sub-beastman as a wife in the future. He could get close to and kiss his wife, and his wife would even give birth to a little snake for him.
　　
This egg was a sub-beastman; would it be his wife then?
　　
He did not want a round wife who did not even have a face, ah . . . .
　　
Looking at the egg, the little snake was somewhat distressed, but fortunately, he soon cheered up again.
　　
Sub-beastman was not only this one egg. He did not want to marry the egg; then he could marry Jones or Grandpa Ian, ah!
　　
Flicking out his forked tongue, the little snake lost interest in the egg.
　　
And at this time, Reynolds suddenly woke up and shouted, "Don't!"
　　
"Don’t what?" Jones picked up a pillow and swatted him on the face, "You really pick your moment to faint, ah!"
　　
The pillow swatting his face was not painful at all. Not only was it not painful, but Jones’ scent coming from the pillow also made Reynolds suddenly clear-headed. He then embraced Jones and kissed him.
　　
"Cough." Ian coughed twice to remind Reynolds that they should not corrupt the child.
　　
The little snake sat beside Ian but stared at Reynolds closely with wide eyes, a bit envious. His father also kissed his mother like this, but unfortunately, he was not allowed to kiss . . . . Humph! Just wait until he had a wife; he would definitely kiss his wife, too!
　　
Reynolds was already awake, so Ian did not stay behind to disturb others. Carrying the little snake in his hand, he left Jones’ residence. As soon as they left, Jones once again threw a pillow to Reynolds’ face. “What the hell is the matter with you? Going as far as to . . .” Was it appropriate to kiss like that in the presence of outsiders?
　　
"I had a nightmare." Reynolds turned towards Jones.
　　
"What nightmare?" Jones lay in Reynolds' arms.
　　
"It’s nothing." Reynolds said. Although he said so, his heart was still beating very fast. Obviously, he had lingering fears.
　　
That dream really scared him.
　　
At the beginning of the dream, he had just become a fallen beast, in despair yet reluctant to die. Then he was brought to Fallen Beast Planet by a spaceship.
　　
When he went, he had abandoned himself to despair somewhat. He did not expect to encounter robbery when he just got there. Surprisingly, it actually made him pull himself together.
　　
Jones told him that he would send him things later. Although he was uncertain whether the other party would really do that, he nevertheless couldn’t let the spaceship docking point controlled by the bad guys and the things sent by Jones snatched by them!
　　
He used all means to defeat those fallen beasts and made himself the leader.
　　
After that, he would receive packages from Jones every year, and that was his happiest moment of the year.
　　
He had been collecting such care packages for more than forty years, and he had also been a leader for more than forty years. Everyone was very envious of him. That year, he was already physically weak, but he still straightened up his body and waited, guessing expectantly what Jones would send to him.
　　
As a result, what he waited for was Jones' dead body.
　　
Jones died unexpectedly, and the will he left behind said that his body would be buried on Fallen Beast Planet after his death, and so it was brought here.
　　
Jones had never sent him this information. The life of fallen beasts was generally short. Jones might have thought that he had already died long before; only then would he leave such a will and make him see the dead body of his lover.

He could not bear it anymore and sank down to the ground all at once.
　　
Reynolds woke with a start at this time. After waking up, the deep fear still remained in his body. It was not until he hugged Jones that his heartbeat slowly calmed down.
　　
Jones did not die, and they also had a child. That dream was false!
　　
Reynolds hugged Jones for a while. Then he got up and picked up the egg that Jones had birthed, giving the egg a big kiss.
　　
Since then, except for going out to work, Reynolds spent all his time with Jones and the child. Sometimes he woke up in the middle of the night and could not sleep anymore, and then he would quietly watch Jones and his child for a long time.
　　
Many beastmen had to wait for the child to break the shell before their fatherly love was roused, but Reynolds almost certainly paid too much attention to the child. His child was still an egg, and he already loved him to death. Not to mention that he would kiss the egg countless times every day, he would also talk and tell stories to him all the time.
　　
After checking the egg and knowing the approximate hatching time of the egg, he asked for a week off, vowing to see his child break the shell with his own eyes and accompany him through the first few days of his life.
　　
However, things could not always be that kind of perfection he imagined . . . .
　　
On the day before Reynolds' seven-day vacation, Jones took the egg to Shu Shu's newly opened hospital, intending to ask Shu Shu to do the final check on the egg.
　　
Since moving to the new hospital, Shu Shu only needed to treat one patient at a time. His life had become very leisurely, and he even brought his two children to the hospital. Thus, he was very happy to give Jones a checkup. As soon as Jones arrived, he took over the egg and started to check it.
　　
The two eggs born of himself, he could input spiritual power into them, but he could not see the situation inside. Jones’ egg was different. After his spiritual power passed through the egg shell and entered inside, he saw the situation inside the egg. The view was very clear and extremely interesting.
　　
Jones’ egg was not big at all, and a tiny child curled up inside the egg.
　　
Kangaroos on the earth could grow very big, but their newly-born children were only the size of a peanut. Pandas’ plump bodies were not small, but their newly-born children were also very, very small. And the children of the Beastman Empire were the same.
　　
However, although the child was small, his facial features were already clear, and he could open his eyes and do many actions inside the egg. Shu Shu could even see the sub-beastman inside the egg hitting the eggshell with his own tiny fists.
　　
The little sub-beastman’s round face looked very soft and cute, and Shu Shu habitually gave him a little spiritual power.
　　
Jones' child was not the same as the little snake and the little hamster and could not absorb too much spiritual power. Shu Shu was very, very careful when inputting spiritual power and removed his hand once he had inputted a little.
　　
"The child is very healthy." Shu Shu, holding the egg and smiling, turned to face Jones. But at this moment, he suddenly sensed that the child inside the egg had extended the long, pointed nails on his tiny hands.
　　
Sub-beastmen's hands generally could change into semi-beastly, especially when the sub-beastmen were still inside the egg, because they would rely on these to help them open the eggshell . . . .

Shu Shu wanted to take a good look at the little sub-beastman’s claws. Unexpectedly, he really saw this little sub-beastman cut a tiny opening on the eggshell with a swipe of his hand. Soon after, his movement became bigger, and he began to struggle with the eggshell with all his might.
　　
He was about to break the shell!

103. Things About Being an Empress, Part 2


Shu Shu and the two children cuddled for a while. Then he remembered that he had not greeted Ian and felt a little embarrassed.

Ian had long known about Shu Shu’s rather special origin as well as his lack of worldly wisdom and was actually accustomed to it, so he just smiled appeasingly.
　　
Upon seeing this, Shu Shu immediately felt relieved. After greeting Ian, he asked Jones whether he wanted to have a checkup.
　　
This hospital was a charity. All the patients who came could not pay for the cost of medical care and medicines, and they basically had serious problems. In the matter of pregnancy . . . every pregnancy checkup in the Beastman Empire was free, so naturally, no one came here. Consequently, Shu Shu had not personally examined other pregnant sub-beastmen except Jones. As for Jones, when he checked Jones before, the egg was still just a soft egg yolk, and he could not see anything inside. But now Jones was about a month away from giving birth, so the child in his belly should have almost developed.
　　
Looking at Jones's belly, Shu Shu was very curious—he wondered whether Jones would give birth to a beastman or a sub-beastman . . . .
　　
Jones himself was a doctor and had already checked himself with instruments. Checking again with instruments was meaningless, so Shu Shu used spiritual power . . . .
　　
Spiritual power slowly entered Jones' body and stopped over Jones' abdomen, and the situation there began to be seen by Shu Shu . . . .
　　
"It’s a sub-beastman." Shu Shu suddenly stated. Jones still had a few days wait before giving birth. The instruments of the Beastman Empire could not see the child's situation, but his spiritual power could see it. By looking at the child's development and comparing it with the medical information, he could see that the child was a sub-beastman.
　　
"Really?" Jones, looking at Shu Shu in astonishment, was pleasantly surprised. The Beastman Empire always had more beastmen and fewer sub-beastmen, and everyone basically wished to give birth to sub-beastmen.
　　
Sub-beastmen were good, ah. Beastmen usually had so-so relationship with their parents. Once they grew up, they would run off to chase after sub-beastmen. What about sub-beastmen? They were always closer to their parents, and when they had a partner in the future . . . then the partner had to please the sub-beastman’s parents well!
　　
Ian was also pleasantly surprised. "It’s actually a sub-beastman!" Heaven knew how much he liked sub-beastman babies. Each and every one of them was absolutely cute, ah! Of course, the little hamster Gary was also not bad.　　
Shu Shu, on the contrary, was not that strongly attached to sub-beastman babies. As long as he did not give birth to a snake, everything else looked the same to him. However, it was obvious that other people's way of thinking was very different, and they were all very happy.
　　
Ever since Reynolds knew that Jones had a child, he especially worked hard and worked even harder all day long figuring out how to make money, vowing that he had to make a lot of money to raise the child. Meanwhile, Jones began to read parenting books every day. He and Ian also investigated how to take care of sub-beastmen and tried to test it on Gary . . . .
　　
Gary was totally uncooperative with this. He did not eat any sub-beastman food and ate much more beastman food than beastman babies of the same size. In addition, his development was completely in accordance with that of beastmen.
　　
Sub-beastman babies grew very slowly and needed to be carefully raised like human babies, and they were also susceptible to illness. Gary, however, was different. He grew fast, was particularly robust, and had never fallen ill. He was really nothing like sub-beastmen.
　　
Ian had no choice but to raise Gary like Fred in the end. He even had to look on helplessly as the two children fought . . . . Fred, be careful, ah, don't hurt your younger brother!
　　
Ian once again hurried the little snake, who was pressing down the little hamster, aside without forgetting to warn him. The little snake nodded obediently and continued to run while being chased by the little hamster everywhere. Compared with his younger brother, he was indeed much stronger. At least his younger brother could not scratch the scales on his body when he tried to catch him with his paws. If he gave his younger brother a paw . . . . 　　

The last time he exerted himself a little bit, he scratched his younger brother's skin. Since then, the little snake was all the more reluctant to hit the little hamster at will and could only let the little hamster ride on himself to show off his strength.
　　
However, although the little hamster was weaker than the little snake, he was unexpectedly stronger than ordinary beastmen. This was particularly gratifying to Dean, who still thought that he was a child with a birth defect until now.
　　
Although the little prince’s beast form was abnormal, fortunately, his human form was very strong, ah! In the future, he should be able to find a sub-beastman to accompany him for a lifetime!
　　
Edgar worked hard to adapt to the life of the emperor, and Shu Shu worked hard to be a good doctor. When the little snake took the little hamster to play around every day, Shu Shu was once again famous.
　　
Everyone who came to the charity hospital for treatment were all poor people, and the diseases they were treating were critical and serious diseases. Some of the diseases were even impossible to cure and could only be controlled by medications.
　　
However, Shu Shu cured a patient who, according to reason, could not be cured.
　　
After Shu Shu joined the hospital, he was assigned to a sub-beastman patient. This sub-beastman was congenitally weak, and some organs in his body were very bad. All along, he could only control his condition so it would not worsen, and he were unable to recover completely.
　　
As long as such a patient had a medical treatment cabin and was given the right medications, there would not be a big problem, and it was unlikely for medical accidents to happen. This was the reason why the hospital would assign him to Shu Shu. Afterwards, they did not manage this patient anymore, and Shu Shu, he really did his best to help treat this patient.
　　
This kind of patient with most of the organs in his body having problems could not undergo surgery because his body was unable to bear it. And the hole in his heart, which could not be repaired by medical equipment alone, also couldn’t be cured because his body was riddled with problems. However, Shu Shu had spiritual power.
　　
Every day, he used spiritual power to help nourish this patient’s body and also fed him a little bit of spirit grass brought from Fallen Beast Planet. The man's various organs started to improve, and then Shu Shu gave him an operation and repaired his heart.
　　
Thinking that this sub-beastman had been cured, Shu Shu discharged him. The sub-beastman was a little stupid at first—how could my body suddenly undergo an operation and still be this strong?
　　
Also, didn’t he use to be prescribed a bunch of medicines? Why wasn’t there any this time?
　　
The sub-beastman looked doubtful but still obediently followed his beastman to go home. Not to mention that his body was not good, he was also an orphan, so he would always get treated in a charity hospital. Now he was twenty years old and had been married to a beastman, who was also an orphan like him, for more than a year.
　　
He could not work. Although his beastman worked hard, all the money he earned was spent on him, so the two had never had any savings. Each time his sickness got serious, they could only rely on the help of a charity hospital. For example, this time he suddenly fainted and was sent to the hospital.
　　
His beastman, seeing him look much better, was very happy. He bought a large amount of food and cooked him a meal. After the meal, the atmosphere was very good. Seeing that he looked pretty healthy, the two men very carefully carried out their second intercourse after marriage.
　　
The first time they did it, they stopped halfway because the beastman did not dare to continue after seeing him uncomfortable. But this time . . . they smoothly did it until the end, and afterwards, the sub-beastman did not feel uncomfortable at all.
　　
His body seemed to be like what the crown princess had said, which was already good more or less!
　　
However, even if it was like this, they still didn’t dare to do it excessively, and later, they did not dare to have intercourse anymore. As a result, after more than a month, this sub-beastman suddenly felt unwell all over and went to the hospital again to check . . . . He was unexpectedly pregnant!
　　
The sub-beastman was immediately stupid. His body basically couldn’t conceive a child, and his womb had not developed at all. How could he become pregnant now?
　　
They did another detailed examination at that general hospital and found that . . . his body could not be regarded as very healthy, but it had no major problems. He could definitely get pregnant and have a job in the future!
　　
He was actually fine?
　
The sub-beastman was completely stunned, and the hospital personnel were also stunned. Regardless of whether it was a beastman or a sub-beastman, if he had ever been sick, his medical case would be recorded to some extent in his personal information. The hospital could only access it if they had obtained the patient's consent, and this patient, he had agreed.
　　
The hospital was very puzzled and did not understand why he could still be good with such diseases. You should know that even if this sub-beastman was well-nourished, in the ordinary course of events, he would only live for a few more years.
　　
"It's the crown princess . . . no, the empress who has cured me." The sub-beastman suddenly said.
　　
Not only could the empress develop a method to help the fallen beasts to restore their beast cores, he could actually cure people with incurable diseases, too!
　　
Although this should be aided by his innate skill, it was still incredible!
　　
This incident immediately circulated on the star network, and at the same time, the news of Jones' geriatric pregnancy also spread. In addition, those who once lived on Fallen Beast Planet and had now returned to the Beastman Empire began to praise Shu Shu.
　　
The empress was really amazing. He could cure patients with incurable diseases and make a sub-beastman who was practically infecund to get pregnant!
　　
Shu Shu was at once famous.
　　
A day later, a patient came to the charity hospital and wished for Shu Shu to treat him.
　　
Two days later, many patients came to the charity hospital, hoping that Shu Shu could treat them.
　　
Three days later, someone donated his belongings and came to the hospital just to seek a little hope of survival.
　　
Shu Shu: ". . ."
　　
After Edgar inherited the throne, Shu Shu was also busy. He asked people to investigate the background of each patient and gave priority to those who had contributed to the Beastman Empire while ignoring those with bad morality and conduct.
　　
But even so, he was still very busy. He thoroughly used up all his spiritual power every day and even had less time to accompany his children and Edgar. However, even if it was already like this, the patients in the hospital were still getting more and more. In addition, as he cured several more terminally ill patients, his fame on the star network became even greater. It was said that even people on the planets on the other side of the capital star had already rushed over to the capital star to seek treatment from him.
　　
How could this be done?
　　
With so many planets in the Beastman Empire, the number of population was staggering, and people who fell ill were also a lot and added up everyday. So many people, even if he worked hard every day to treat them, he would not finish for a lifetime.
　　
Shu Shu was scared.
　　
"Edgar . . ." That night, Shu Shu looked at Edgar pitifully, trying to ask for an idea. As the empress, he wanted to live comfortably. Going to work was interesting, but it totally shouldn’t make him work himself to death at the hospital all day long, right?
　　
Recently, he had been relying on sleeping with Edgar to let Edgar input him with spiritual power to restore his spirit. He really felt sad just thinking about it.
　　
"You’re the empress, and you also treat people free of charge. It doesn’t make sense that you still have to work overtime to help treat people. You’ll work according to working hours in the future." Edgar said.
　　
"Then what?" Shu Shu asked again. Seeing so many patients waiting for him, it was impossible for him to stand aside and do nothing, ah. Now the charity hospital was almost filled to capacity with patients; what should he do then?
　　
"Don't go to the charity hospital to treat people later on. Change to a place with beautiful scenery and build your own hospital." Edgar added, "If they want to seek treatment from you, they must pay a huge amount of medical fees. You’ll only treat those who have paid a huge amount of medical fee and have never done bad things. Just choose your patients from among them."
　　
"What about the people in the charity hospital then?" Shu Shu asked. Those patients were so pitiful, ah! Also, why should he ask for a huge amount of medical fees? His keeper was the richest man in the Empire.
　　
"The huge medical fees you charge are used for charity and to expand the charity hospital. Also, whether it’s the charity hospital or the hospital you’ll be staying next, you should arrange a spirit gathering formation there." Edgar kissed Shu Shu on the lips.
　　
"Good idea!" Shu Shu's eyes lit up. After the charity hospital got a lot of money and a spirit gathering formation, the patients there would surely be well taken care of and much more comfortable. On the other side, he would not be tired if he only treated the selected patients.
　　
Shu Shu made such a decision and soon implemented it. And no one thought that this decision was wrong.
　　
The empress was a sub-beastman; in any case, they could not really make him treat people without stopping to sleep or have a rest, right? It was already great that the empress was willing to donate all the money he received from treating people to charity!
　　
Of course, there were also people who argued noisily that the empress was ungenerous by charging so much money for treating people, and that he should treat people free of charge just like before. But such people were quickly scolded back—if you have the ability, then you go work for others without pay, ah! Why make the empress treat people without charging any money?
　　
That’s right, this is indeed a matter of mutual consent. If you resent paying so much money, then don't come to me to seek treatment, ah. On what basis do you make me treat you for free? Shu Shu read the comments online and snorted, deciding that he had to charge more when he treated people.
　　
As a result . . . after Shu Shu started doing this, he suddenly found that the money he could receive was actually much, much, much, much more than he had imagined!
　　
He used to treat people for free before. But now? The money he received for treating one person was enough to buy a luxury model of a private spaceship!
　　
This was really too profitable!
　　
Shu Shu was dumbfounded seeing that huge amount of money.
　　
"With this money, the charity hospital can expand a lot." Edgar said with a smile.
　　
Shu Shu turned his head sharply and looked at Edgar anxiously, "Edgar, I feel bitter about giving out so much money. What should I do?"
　　
Edgar: ". . ."
　　
Shu Shu still donated all the money to charity in the end. After that, Edgar gave him even more money.
　　
He calculated it. The interest from the sum of money Edgar gave him that he had put in deposit was already inexhaustible. Since this was the case, more money was also useless, right?
　　
From then on, Empress Shu Shu began his daily life of going to his own hospital to treat people. In addition to easily earning a fortune, his reputation was also getting better and better . . . .
　　
It was inevitable since opportunities to seek treatment from him were up for auction to the extent that he received a particularly large amount of money every time he treated people, and the amount of money he took out for charity was also particularly large. Who didn’t like such an empress who was committed to charity?
　　
The ordinary people liking him was nothing much. However, the upper layers of the Beastman Empire, whether it was nobles or politicians or military personnel or businessmen, all liked him too.
　　
If they were ill, they certainly had to seek treatment from the empress. Under these circumstances, no matter who you offended, you could not offend the empress, ah!
　　
Not only could you not offend the empress, but you also had to have a good relationship with the empress! Although seeking a treatment from the empress required you to participate in an auction to buy the opportunity to see the empress, but in fact, if you had a good relationship with the empress, the empress was willing to help treat people privately, and you did not even need to spend money . . . .

They had to have a good relationship with the empress!
　　
Shu Shu had thus become the most popular person in the entire empire. Many large hotel chains, shopping centers, and luxury goods stores did not charge him when he shopped there, and they even sent him a lot of things for free.
　　
On his birthday, all important people in the Empire would send him gifts.
　　
Nowadays, even if he just posted something on the star network casually, the Empire’s big shots would all forward it to express their support . . . . Supposedly, even if he farted, everyone would say that it was fragrant . . . . Even Edgar, the emperor, had no such treatment, ah!
　　
Shu Shu felt very proud of himself. He was definitely a superstar now, the world’s first superstar who was loved by all.
　　
Edgar absolutely got a really great deal for being able to find him! Shu Shu smugly said to Edgar on a certain night.
　　
Edgar chuckled and gave Shu Shu some nuts from a newly discovered planet.
　　
"Aww! Edgar, you’re great! I’m so happy I could meet you!" Shu Shu rushed over to grab the food and then was conveniently "eaten" by Edgar.
　　
The taste was really good!

102. Things About Being an Empress, Part 1


Edgar's enthronement ceremony was very grand and broadcasted live on the entire star network.

The enthronement was held in the imperial palace. On this day, the gates of the imperial palace were opened wide, and all the roadsides were practically packed with uniformed imperial guards. Outside the imperial palace, many people had gathered together with flowers in their hands; they were coming to bless Edgar.
　　
When a member of the imperial family ascended the throne, they always allowed the masses to watch it from outside the imperial palace.
　　
When the Prime Minister of the Empire changed, there would basically be some people who raised a ruckus and came up with something, and usually, they would demonstrate as well. But when the Emperor changed people, there had never been such things. At most, everyone was talking about the clothes and jewelry of the imperial family online.
　　
And this time, Shu Shu still performed perfectly—the cramming he had done before ascending the throne was not in vain!
　　
Walking beside Edgar while leading the two children along, Shu Shu looked very solemn and graceful yet with a face that still looked a bit too young and tender until now . . . .
　　
"The empress is so cute!"
　　
"The two princes are cuter. Look at their serious little faces, very solemn, ha ha ha."
　　
“The empress leading his two children is totally like him leading two younger brothers, ah. I wonder how he maintains his skin."
　　
“He doesn’t need skin care. To begin with, he’s still young, only twenty."
　　
“Only twenty, ah . . ."
　　
. . . . . .

The netizens stared at Shu Shu admiringly; only twenty years old, ah. Many of them were still attending school when they were twenty years old, but the empress had already done a lot of things.
　　
Thinking of it this way, they were generous with their praises for Shu Shu.
　　
After Shu Shu had gone through the whole process of the enthronement ceremony, he collapsed on the sofa, eating and reading the news on the Internet with brows raised in delight and eyes laughing.
　　
So many netizens were praising him. It could clearly be seen that he was really awesome.
　　
Moreover, being an empress was really prestigious, ah . . . . Shu Shu, seeing the people on the star network talking about empress, abruptly thought of the various palace fighting dramas that he had watched together with his former owners.
　　
A lot of women fought with each other; wasn't it just to be an empress? Now he was also an empress . . . . Shu Shu turned around and suddenly fixed his gaze on Edgar, "Your Imperial Majesty, you certainly aren’t allowed to get me a bunch of little daemons (hussy) in the future!"
　　
What were little daemons? Edgar was a little puzzled but soon recalled that Shu Shu seemed to be a daemon. Shu Shu was a daemon, then little daemons . . . . Edgar glanced at the little hamster sitting on the side playing with the toy building blocks. "Whatever you say. If you don't want to give birth, then don’t." He was already satisfied with having two children.
　　
What the hell was this all about?! He was talking about hussy and not about him giving birth! Shu Shu glared at Edgar.
　　
Edgar was perplexed and did not understand why he was glared at. He had not said something wrong, had he?
　　
Anyway, Shu Shu only asked a question because he suddenly remembered the palace fighting story, and he did not care about asking anything else. So he just took some food out of his food pouches and started to crunch on it.
　　
The little hamster glanced at Shu Shu and took out some food from his mouth just like Shu Shu did and then started to crunch on it.
　　
Watching Shu Shu and the little hamster eat happily, the little snake was depressed. He had no food pouches, so he could not carry any food on his body. As it happened, he was also hungry after having played around for a while . . . .
　　
This poor child . . . . Edgar called someone and had the man bring a platter of meat.
　　
This meat was prepared for the little snake to eat and had not been minced. Each piece was a one-centimeter square, and the little snake ate it one by one with a fork.
　　
The little snake immediately ate the meat happily. As he ate, the little hamster slowly walked over, and then the meat on the plate began to diminish rapidly, and after a while, more than half of it were actually gone . . . . The little hamster definitely couldn’t eat so much; presumably, he put all those meat in his food pouches.
　　
". . ." Edgar was speechless and then had someone bring another platter of meat.
　　
When Chris and Ian came in from the outside, they saw their two grandsons sitting there eating meat cubes, looking extremely cute with their bulging cheeks.
　　
The two men’s eyes lit up, and Ian directly went towards the little hamster. "Gary, aren’t you tired of eating meat? Do you want to eat something else?"
　　
"And Fred, do you want to drink water?" Having asked the little hamster, Ian also asked the little snake.
　　
Gary? Fred? Shu Shu automatically turned his gaze toward Edgar—what was this all about?
　　
". . ." Edgar was silent for a moment before saying, "I asked you before what names you would give to the children. You said whatever the names were, it’s okay as long as I gave them names. Then I asked you again, and you said it’s good." His sub-beastman really stood out from the masses. Other sub-beastmen grew a flower pot and had to give it a name. And his sub-beastman?

How long had he been with Shu Shu at that time? And Shu Shu still called him Big Snake. He totally didn't expect Shu Shu to give him a name. When the two children were born, Shu Shu either called them Little Snake and Little Hamster or Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, two pet names that were chosen casually and not thought thoroughly at all . . . . He really didn't know what to say.
　　
Only when Shu Shu heard Edgar say this did he remember that when they were still on Fallen Beast Planet, Edgar had indeed told him that he would name the two children and also mentioned what names he would give them. It was a pity that he had forgotten it . . . .
　　
So these two children, one was called Fred, and the other was Gary, ah . . . . Shu Shu kept repeating those names silently several times, stored them in his heart, and secretly told himself that he could not forget.
　　
While Shu Shu was struggling to remember his children's names, Chris handed over all the imperial family’s industries to Edgar.
　　
With the help of lawyers, all industries of the imperial family under Chris’ name were transferred to Edgar. Of course, Chris retained part of the dividend rights.
　　
For Edgar, he might still be able to have free time if he was just an emperor, but with the addition of so many industries . . . . Edgar had a feeling that he might never be able to relax anymore—he had been in the military for so many years and had not learned how to manage the industry, so there were really a lot of things he had to learn now.
　　
"I'll stay here to help you these days. Once you master it, I'll go to Gass Planet to cultivate for some time." Chris said to Edgar.
　　
Edgar nodded and began to understand each of his own industries with Chris’ help.
　　
Chris talked to Edgar for a long time and finally handed over all the work on his hands to Edgar. Then he had dinner with Edgar and Shu Shu before leaving with Ian.
　　
After leaving Edgar's residence, Chris, who had shown exhaustion from time to time in front of Edgar, immediately smiled and turned toward his sub-beastman,  "How? Unsatisfied? We’re relaxed now."
　　
"Did you trick your son?" Ian glared at Chris, but there’s a smile in his eyes.
　　
"If this is me tricking him, I don't know how many people in this world are looking forward to being tricked." Chris replied and told Ian again, "Since you often accompany the two children these days, when we go to Gass planet to cultivate, we’ll take the children along with us." He used to be very rejective toward beastmen around him and was not even close to Edgar, the son he loved and cared about very much. But now . . . .
　　
Many beastmen would love those lively and cute little beastmen after they grew older, and he was like this.
　　
Ian nodded at once.
　　
He liked Chris' plan!
　　
After Edgar ascended the throne, Shu Shu became the empress, and the life of the empress . . . . Shu Shu found that it did not seem to be much different from his previous life, which was nothing more than eating and sleeping.
　　
Shu Shu always had no ambitions and was well-suited to the life of eating and sleeping. In the meantime, he also played a doctor simulation game online.
　　
Noticing Shu Shu's activity, Ian introduced a job to Shu Shu. "I was a military doctor before I got married. After marriage, I couldn’t be a doctor anymore, so I opened a hospital. This hospital is mainly for charity and will receive people who have no money to treat their illnesses. Every patient there has been investigated, so it's very safe. Would you like to work there?"
　　
The job Ian introduced was great. Not to mention the relaxed working hours, it was also in his own family’s industry, so he absolutely wouldn’t be wronged if he went there . . . . After Shu Shu considered it, he nodded without the slightest hesitation and agreed—he was just worrying about having nowhere to hone his medical skills, and Ian promptly gave him the solution to this, ah!
　　
Moreover, he was no longer a hamster now, but a man. And as a man, he really should have a job.
　　
He did not expect that he, a little hamster, could actually become a respected doctor one day . . . . Shu Shu was so proud of himself that he kept telling Edgar about it seven or eight times. Then the next day, he went to work at the hospital in high spirits.
　　
Edgar: Was it necessary to be so excited just being a doctor?
　　
This hospital was opened by Ian, and Ian also used to go there, and together with Shu Shu’s status as the empress, no one made a fuss about nothing. In the hospital, Shu Shu was able to get access to all sorts of patients, and after helping them treat their illnesses, he could even get their gratitude, which actually made him like this job more and more. Thus, he went to work happily every day.
　　
After that, the matter of taking care of the two children inevitably fell on Ian.
　　
Shu Shu had absolutely no objection to this. He knew he had to give the children enough love, but he did not really understand the specific matters of taking care of the children. By comparison, Ian and the childcare experts were more proficient at it.
　　
Big-hearted Shu Shu did not feel anything about it. Edgar, on the contrary, felt something but pretended like he was not aware of it.
　　
If the two children were around, they would occupy most of Shu Shu’s attention. Now that there was someone taking over . . . it was not a bad thing, wasn’t it?
　　
Ian did want to have a good relationship with the two children, so he had been rushing to take care of them these days. However, he did not have any idea to ruin the relationship between Shu Shu and the two children. As soon as Shu Shu got off work, he would bring the two children back to Shu Shu. On this day, he even brought the two children as well as Jones to visit Shu Shu at the hospital.
　　
When they came over, Shu Shu was diagnosing and treating a patient.
　　
Although Shu Shu had spiritual power, he clearly understood that his medical skills would definitely not improve if he always used spiritual power, so he tried to not use spiritual power as much as possible. Right now, he was using various hospital instruments to do a full body examination on a patient lying in the medical treatment cabin, looking very serious.
　　
Ian, holding the children, waited until the patient's examinations were all done. He was just about to call Shu Shu out loud and saw Shu Shu turn his head to look at them. With a smile on his face, Shu Shu squatted down and called out, "Xiao Bao, Xiao Bei!"
　　
"Mother!" Seeing Shu Shu, Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei rushed towards Shu Shu together and plunged into Shu Shu's arms. Then Shu Shu cupped their heads and gave them a few kisses each.

101. The Main Text is Over
 

Jones was indeed pregnant.
 
When Shu Shu was pregnant, he had no troubles at all, but Jones was exactly the opposite. Although he got pregnant at an older age, his health was actually very good, and there was Shu Shu who helped take care of his health with spiritual power, but even so, he was still very uncomfortable.
 
He was very, very tired every day, and the physical exhaustion would also make his mood unstable, so he could not help but keep getting angry with people . . . . Of course, this "people" referred specifically to Reynolds.
 
Jones could still restrain himself in front of outsiders; only in front of Reynolds would he completely let himself go. And with regards to all this, Reynolds endured the hardship gladly.
 
Jones was pregnant with his child; he had a child! This news alone already made Reynolds so excited he was unable to sleep in addition to turning him into an invincible silly dad. Nowadays, let alone Jones getting angry with him, even if Jones beat him up, he could still ask Jones in return whether his hand hurt or not.
 
And this operation would often make Jones' anger deflate all at once like a balloon pierced by a nail.
 
In the initial stage of pregnancy, Jones was very miserable because of fatigue and hormonal changes, but after a month, his condition gradually improved. Not only did he not feel sick when he saw Reynolds, he even liked him more and more. In fact, the level of sweetness between these two men directly increased a step higher.
 
By this time, they had boarded the spaceship back to the capital star.
 
Pregnant sub-beastmen were actually unsuitable to take spaceships, but Reynolds did not feel reassured with Jones giving birth on Fallen Beast Planet, and Shu Shu also guaranteed that Jones would absolutely not meet with a mishap during the journey, so everyone left Fallen Beast Planet together.
 
The fallen beasts whose beast cores had been restored by Edgar were divided into several cargo spaceships and sent to other planets one by one. Among them, those who had innate skills and abilities basically received Edgar's invitation to join and work in the imperial family’s industries. Even to those very ordinary beastmen, the imperial family also expressed that they could join the Imperial Fleet as long as they wished or get the jobs they wanted and were qualified for in the imperial family’s industries.
 
The vast majority of the fallen beasts agreed. A small number of them who did not agree were either wealthy and did not need to work for others or had been injured or were too old and no longer suitable to work for others.
 
Edgar was very satisfied with this. In this way, the scales he fed to the fallen beasts were ultimately not wasted.
 
Of course, the greatest benefit he and Shu Shu got from helping these fallen beasts to restore their beast cores did not really come from these people’s reciprocation.
 
The news about Fallen Beast Planet had been circulating in the capital star for more than a year. Those beastmen who had gone to Fallen Beast Planet for adventure or to visit their families had also shot a lot of videos and pictures of Fallen Beast Planet and then brought them back to the capital star to be posted on the star network.
 
Although Fallen Beast Planet was very far away from the capital star, the beastmen and sub-beastmen of the capital star as well as the majority of population of the Beastman Empire on several residential stars near the capital star had seen the changes of those fallen beasts with their own eyes.
 
The fallen beast problem that had plagued the Beastman Empire for countless years was solved by the crown prince and the crown princess!
 
Once a beastman became a fallen beast, his life was ruined. Under all kinds of accidents, inevitably, there would always be some beastmen who had a problem with their beast cores and eventually become fallen beasts.
 
Beastmen had always dreaded this, and sub-beastmen had always been very scared of this. But now they did not need to worry about it.
 
As long as it was a fallen beast who had not broken the law, his beast core could be restored, and he could become a beastman again! And this was all due to the crown prince couple.
 
Edgar himself was deeply loved and respected by the people of the Beastman Empire, and now he had become an idol for everyone. After everyone found out that Shu Shu, the crown princess whom many people previously thought of as unqualified, never left Edgar and personally took care of him even after seeing him become a fallen beast and then developed a method to help the fallen beasts to restore their beast cores, they accepted him completely and also loved and respected him very much.
 
There were many sub-beastmen who directly regarded him as an idol.
 
Now, after finding out that the crown prince and the crown princess were coming back from Fallen Beast Planet, there was a great celebration on the star network. Numerous beastmen and sub-beastmen stepped out of the house, wanting to welcome the crown prince and the crown princess who had been wandering outside for more than a year.
 
Because too many people tried to do so, the Empire eventually had to send troops to maintain order.
 
"His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince is coming back!"
 
"When His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince returned last time, the scene was already very big. I didn't expect that this time would be even bigger."
 
"It’s more than that. The people who came out this time were directly dozens of times more than the last time! And then . . . all were blocked back."
 
"Blocked back +1. I wanted to see the crown prince, and as a result, I’ve just walked to the main street, and they wouldn’t let me pass."
 
"I wanted to see the big prince and the little prince, but I couldn't see them TT."
 
. . . . . .

As countless people expressed their regrets on the star network, Edgar and Shu Shu quietly returned to the imperial palace.
 
The reasons why Edgar returned with great fanfare last time were in order to let the masses know that his body was fine, calm down the rumors, and suppress various parties in power who began to stir. But now, it was basically unnecessary for them to do so.
 
Edgar, hugging his two children and leading Shu Shu, unobtrusively returned to the imperial palace. He originally thought that Chris and Ian would prepare a table of food and quietly wait for them like when he and Shu Shu returned from Gass Planet last time. But unexpectedly, the imperial palace was bustling with noise and excitement because a banquet was being held inside.
 
Didn't Ian and Chris always find it very troublesome to hold a banquet? Why did they suddenly hold a banquet today? And even decorate the imperial palace so brilliantly? Edgar took a quick look at the imperial palace that appeared changed beyond recognition and looked exceptionally beautiful, and he was a bit puzzled.
 
But before he had the chance to ask his parents, Ian already came with a few guards. "Edgar, Shu Shu, you've finally arrived."
 
"Mother." Edgar and Shu Shu greeted Ian, and the two children also called out, "Grandmother."
 
"Hey, clever babies!" A smile blossomed on Ian’s face as he looked at his two grandsons. He already knew that his little grandson was exactly the same as Shu Shu. Although the little grandson was said to be a beastman to the outside world, he just couldn’t treat him as a beastman completely. He stepped forward and said, "You should go change clothes quickly and then follow us to meet people. Let others know the two children."
 
Hearing Ian say this, Edgar finally understood why they would hold a banquet right now. The intention was to introduce the little snake and the little hamster to people from all walks of life in the capital star.
 
These two children were the long-awaited third generation of the imperial family, and they should really make a point of introducing them to others.
 
Edgar and Shu Shu changed into luxurious dresses, and the two children also changed into well-fitted little dresses. They each led one child and came to the banquet.
 
As soon as they arrived on the scene, they unsurprisingly attracted everyone's attention.
 
When Shu Shu had just come to the capital star and attended a banquet for the first time, many people actually didn’t take Shu Shu seriously, even if they did not show it conspicuously. Now, though, no one dared to look down on him.
 
Not only did nobody dare to look down on Shu Shu, some even thought that Edgar was lucky to find such a sub-beastman.
 
A sub-beastman who did not leave after his beastman had become a fallen beast and even developed a method to help the fallen beasts to restore their beast cores, who would not want him? Not to mention that this sub-beastman had given birth to two children in less than two years!
 
The number of people in the imperial family had always been sparse, but this time . . . . If the crown prince did not use contraception, wouldn’t he and the crown princess be able to produce a team effortlessly? Maybe they could even produce two teams to play against each other . . . .
 
The Crown Prince was really too enviable!
 
The two little princes were really so cute!
 
People looked at the two little princes with a kind smile on their faces, which made Shu Shu and the two children, who were initially a little unaccustomed to such an occasion, quickly adapt to the gazes of the people around them. However, he and Edgar did not know that the imperial family suddenly issued a statement on the star network at this moment.
 
His Imperial Majesty the Emperor suddenly stated on the star network that he would abdicate and hand over the throne to Crown Prince Edgar.
 
People who attended the banquet did not know about the news on the star network, but they soon learned about it.
 
Chris was dressed up very dashingly at present. He introduced his two grandchildren to people, praised Edgar and Shu Shu, and then changed the topic. He suddenly said that he was already old, and that the disappearance of the empress had made some of his old illnesses worsen and in need of rehabilitation, so he would hand over the throne as well as the property belonging to the imperial family to Edgar to manage. As for himself, he intended to retire early.
 
Shu Shu did not feel anything when he suddenly heard this, but Edgar immediately understood clearly that he was entrapped by his father.
 
He was still young and had just gotten married not long ago, and he also wanted to accompany Shu Shu to play around!
 
He already made some future plans and had even read the travel guide, but now all of his plans fell through.
 
Chris made this decision so suddenly and announced it directly in a public place with numerous people, making Edgar unable to refuse. He felt a little aggrieved, but unfortunately, people around him still congratulated him . . . .
 
Edgar accepted all the congratulations with a blank face.
 
"Edgar, this time it's really a bit sudden, but I hope you can understand." Chris said to his son. "I've been busy for decades, and now I really can’t bear it anymore."
 
Chris looked very spirited today, but his eyes showed a deep fatigue. Seeing his father like this, Edgar's unwillingness dissipated in a flash, and he actually felt guilty toward his father.
 
"You’ve grown up, and I believe you can do better than me." Chris continued.
 
Edgar nodded, "I’ll definitely not let you down, Father."
 
"I know." Chris stated with gratification and patted Edgar's shoulder. "I know the burden is a bit heavy, and it’ll tie you down, but you have two children. In another twenty or thirty years, Xiao Bao will grow up.”
 
His father meant . . . in another twenty or thirty years, he could give the throne to Xiao Bao and then free himself? Edgar was momentarily speechless but had to admit that it was a good idea.
 
What made him quite depressed was that his father did it first . . . .
 
Emperor Chris abdicated, and Crown Prince Edgar ascended the throne. The people of the Beastman Empire accepted this matter very well. First, the current imperial family was merely symbolic, so changing emperor was really not a big deal. Second, compared to Chris, they actually liked Edgar as the emperor even more. Because in this way, Edgar, who did not like to get his pictures taken, might appear in various reports all day.
 
However, Edgar was not so happy.
 
After he ascended the throne, he had to attend all sorts of celebrations of the Beastman Empire and would always be followed by the media . . . . And that was not all because Chris also gave him all the industries belonging to the imperial family.
 
Without a doubt, he would be very busy in the future, very, very busy.
 
"Shu Shu, I'm sorry." Edgar said. He had previously promised Shu Shu to travel around, but he feared that there would not be any traveling for the time being.
 
"What's wrong?" Shu Shu asked in puzzlement. Edgar was very busy, but his own life these days had been very good and very comfortable being waited on by the robot . . . .
 
"I’ll be very busy for a very long time. I'm afraid I can't take you to play around." Edgar said.
 
"How long is a very long time?" Shu Shu asked.
 
Glancing at the little snake nearby, Edgar replied, "At least twenty years. Maybe thirty years."
 
"Isn't it only thirty years? It's all right." Shu Shu waved his hand. For him who had lived for hundreds of years, thirty years was really nothing.
 
As long as Edgar gave him good food and drink, he did not mind being kept by Edgar for a lifetime.
 
No, it was best if Edgar kept him for this lifetime and then continued to keep him in the next life ...
 
Shu Shu, mulling it over, suddenly thought of Edgar's snake form . . . . He was definitely the most amazing hamster in the world; he actually found a snake to keep him! Which ordinary hamster had this ability? Thinking of it this way, he was instantly smug.
 
"Shu Shu, thank you." Edgar kissed Shu Shu.
 
Shu Shu kissed Edgar back and suddenly remembered that besides providing food and drink, he forgot another thing Edgar had to do—as an owner, Edgar should also be responsible for making him feel good and should not like others!
 
Thinking so, Shu Shu's hands began to get into Edgar's clothes . . . .
 
Shu Shu's life was very, very comfortable. He became the empress, the title of his two children on the star network also changed from prince to His Imperial Highness the Prince.
 
Anyway, the empress was feeling very mixed-up now . . . . His little son unexpectedly adapted very well to living in the snake's nest and was not one bit afraid of snakes, not to mention that he actually liked to squat down on the head of his grandfather, who had transformed into a snake, run all over the place, and then slip away to his snake-shaped older brother.
 
The way he strutted around . . . Shu Shu was extremely envious when he saw it!
 


Author’s note:
The main text is over, but there’re still many sweet extras behind—the day-to-day after marriage, the retirement after many years, and so on. The two princes who have no name in the main text will also get a name, and I guess I’ll give Jones as well as Bruno an extra each.


TL's note:
I'll translate the extras, and the schedule will be every Wednesday as usual.
