83. Chris is Coming


Beastmen had very strong resilience. In particular, they could recover from superficial wounds very fast, and their level of tolerance toward injuries was also very high.


In the past, even if Bruno was injured when hunting or taught a lesson by Reynolds for talking drivel, he would never cry that it hurt and would just suffer in silence for two days. But today, he actually lay down beside Jesse, whimpering that it hurt and incessantly saying that he felt uncomfortable here and felt bad there . . . .


Jesse did not turn a deaf ear to him and helped him lick his wounds one by one.


Bruno suddenly felt that the injuries he suffered this time were very worthy. At the same time, he also felt guilty at having done such things to Shu Shu. That person was a sub-beastman; it was really awful of him to scare somebody like that . . . . Thinking so, Bruno snorted and then told Jesse his thoughts.


"It’s good that you know." Jesse looked at Bruno silently. He originally wanted to become a beastman early and then help out with things, so that Shu Shu would also restore Bruno's beast core earlier. As a result, Bruno roared yesterday and completely disrupted his plan. Now he did not know if Shu Shu was still willing to help him restore his beast core or not.


Anyway, the matter had already reached this point; regretting was useless, but they could think of a way to remedy it . . . . Jesse said to Bruno, "Since you know it’s wrong, we’ll go apologize tomorrow."


"Got it." Bruno nodded obediently. After settling the big worry in his heart, he now didn't dislike Shu Shu at all and even had a particularly good opinion of Shu Shu because Shu Shu, who was Edgar’s sub-beastman, had come up with a solution for them.


Bruno and Jesse idled for a while. Feeling that his body had completely had no problem, Bruno suddenly stood up and then limped out.


Jesse wondered what he was going to do and saw him approach a pair of fallen beasts lovers like them and say with a smug face: "Jesse gave me his beast bead; what about you? Have you exchanged beast bead?”


Bruno showing such a smug expression really looked like he needed a little spanking, ah . . . .


However, after he showed off like this, several fallen beast lovers who had been together for a long time actually exchanged beast bead as well, which could be considered as making a commitment for a lifetime together.


While the fallen beasts outside gathered in twos and threes to socialize or to fight, Edgar extended his tail tip into the hole dug out by Shu Shu, wanting to fish Shu Shu out of the hole.


He was a snake; he could not call Shu Shu or make any other sound except for a slight "hissing" sound. And this sound would probably make Shu Shu afraid, so he could only use the tip of his tail to try to hook Shu Shu out.


However . . . Shu Shu had already dug said hole so deep that after his tail was tightly stuck, it still couldn't reach Shu Shu.


Edgar gloomily gave his own son a quick glare. If it were not for his son recklessly chasing people, how could his sub-beastman run away?


The little snake was completely unaware that his own father was full of blame toward himself and was still wriggling in the direction of the hole over there—he could sense that his mother was there, and he wanted to go find his mother! He was a little beastman who relied on smell to find his family. Him chasing after the little hamster before was actually because he wanted his mother to hug him . . . .


Edgar certainly couldn’t let his son scare his wife again and placed the little snake into the bag that Shu Shu sewed. He bit the opening of the bag with his mouth and did not let the little snake come out, intending to give him a lesson.


Then . . . the child fell asleep just like that.


Edgar held the bag containing his son with his mouth and guarded the small hole impatiently, waiting for his wife to come out of the hole.


After Shu Shu got into the hole alone, he felt very embarrassed at first. He had no time to think more and only considered digging a hole. Later, he felt a little lonely and thought about Edgar somewhat.


Climbing out of the hole, Shu Shu very carefully looked left and right and then saw a huge snake head close by staring at him.


He subconsciously drew back, but then he recalled that this was Edgar and was no longer afraid. He immediately turned into a person and began to complain, "Edgar, the lion called Bruno bullied me! I’ll help him restore his beast core the last! And your son, he chased me! It’s the worst!"


"Then wait until the end to help Bruno restore his beast core. As for the child . . ." Edgar stopped his tail tip from writing words to communicate and used it to roll up the bag holding the child and give it to Shu Shu.


What were they going to do? Shu Shu took the proffered bag, a bit puzzled. He was human-shaped now, tall and big, and he was not as afraid of the little snake as before.


"You can beat him up to vent your anger." Edgar once again used his tail to write.


Beat the child? Shu Shu was shocked and instantly angered. "You actually want to beat the child! Don’t you know that this is domestic violence? Children must be taught well and mustn't be beaten."


Shu Shu also thought that brats were very annoying. After all, when he was just a little hamster, he was often harassed by brats. There was one time when he was "purchased" to be a house pet; the family purchased him purely for the brat to play around and even let the child catch and throw him down . . . . He then bit the brat ruthlessly and ran away.



However, his own child presently wasn’t a brat, ah! How many days had this child been born? The child chasing him was probably only for fun; how could he casually beat him? If he always beat people indiscriminately, wouldn’t the child learn to follow suit?


Although afraid of his own child, but Shu Shu intended to teach him to become a young man like Edgar!


Shu Shu grabbed Edgar and inquired into what he had learned about raising a child. Afterwards, he depressedly stated, "We both don't understand how to teach children, and we also don't know how to raise children. It seems that we must hurry up and help Jesse restore his beast core tomorrow, so he can give us some ideas."


In fact, Ian should have had some understanding about this, but he lived in the imperial palace at that time, with high-tech products and robots everywhere. In addition, there were specialized nannies who helped taking care of Edgar, so he only needed to accompany Edgar to play and was unaware of many things.


"That’s for sure. But there’s still one thing you should pay attention to." Edgar wrote using his tail. "Half of the eggshell has been used by you. If you continue like this, how many more people can you save?"


The little snake’s eggshell was originally not much. The little snake himself had eaten half of it, and the rest was just a little bit. It was just that Shu Shu had been afraid to fail, so he had not dared to feed Reynolds and the leopard Bauer too little. Consequently, the remaining eggshell was barely sufficient.


Shu Shu was at a loss figuring this out.


He actually still had a lot of things that he could use. For example, he had a lot of Edgar’s scales, but the key thing was that he could not make Edgar's scales into fine powder. For the time being, he could only use the little snake's eggshell . . . .


However, there was not much left of this eggshell now.


Forget it, when he helped Jesse tomorrow, he would use less eggshell powder . . . . Shu Shu thought about it and finally prepared only half of the eggshell powder used by the previous two people.


Today had been hectic; Shu Shu slept late and also got up quite late the next day. When he went out, everyone else had already eaten, but the leopard Bauer had specially cooked and kept some delicious food for him, and it was still nice and warm.


Although he had crashed onto a primitive planet, but his current life was not bad at all.


The leopard Bauer's cooking skill was much better than Ian’s and Jones’, and Shu Shu was perfectly satisfied with his meal. And when he had just finished eating, Jesse, leading Bruno, came over.


Afraid of scaring Shu Shu, the two lions did not come near and just wrote on the ground, "I'm sorry."


Was everything okay once you said you’re sorry? Shu Shu was not satisfied somewhat. But when he turned his head and saw that Bruno was injured from head to toe, he could not help but grin and stop getting angry.


Bruno looked really miserable . . . . Shu Shu could not help but take a few more looks at him. The more he stared at him, the more he wanted to laugh.


Shu Shu accepted Bruno's apology and had every intention to help Jesse restore his beast core according to the original plan.


The procedure this time was still the same as the previous two, but the eggshell powder fed to Jesse in the beginning was much less. Nevertheless, although the eggshell powder that Shu Shu gave was reduced, Jesse still succeeded, and the lion under the quilt became a naked man.


Reynolds looked very handsome; bearing the vicissitudes of life on his body, he was a very attractive man. In contrast, the leopard Bauer looked very ordinary, making him a forgettable man. As for Jesse . . . .


Jesse did not look as good as his partner Bruno had imagined, but he possessed a gentle temperament that made people feel like being cleansed by a spring wind, which in turn made people subconsciously like him very much.


Bruno had been waiting anxiously on the side. Seeing Jesse sit up and drape a cloth over his own body, he immediately rushed up excitedly, tongue extended to lick Jesse—they only got acquainted with each other after the two of them had become fallen beasts; this was the first time he saw Jesse’s appearance, and he definitely thought that this face was quite exceptional!


Looking at this smooth face, Bruno wondered how it would feel when he licked it . . . . He had just taken a lap with his tongue and unexpectedly found a mouthful of hair in his mouth.


Jesse, who had just become a human, had changed into his beast form again.


"Rowr!" Bruno was a bit disgruntled. "Why did you turn back? I still want to take another look at your appearance."


"I don't know what’s going on either." Jesse was a little bewildered as well. He simply hadn’t been able to control himself just now . . . .


Quite the opposite, the leopard Bauer who saw this scene faintly thought of something . . . . He had also experienced losing control of himself, but it was not as serious as Jesse . . . .



"What's going on with this?" Shu Shu was also a little puzzled and beckoned to Jesse, "Come here, I’ll check it for you."


Jesse promptly came to Shu Shu, who was guarded by Edgar. Shu Shu used his spiritual power to help him check and immediately frowned, "Your beast core’s a little small."


Jesse looked confused.


"Probably because the eggshell powder I gave you to eat was too little, so your beast core is a little small, just like the little snake’s . . . . But it doesn't matter; it’ll totally grow well later." Shu Shu patted Jesse’s head. This beast core would slowly grow; he did not know about other people’s, but he found that the little snake’s beast core had grown a little bigger.


So . . . Jesse’s current transformation was just like a little beastman who could not control his own body? The surrounding people were a bit surprised, but even so, they envied Jesse very much.


"What you fed us before was eggshell powder? Xiao Bao's eggshell?" Reynolds suddenly asked.


"Yeah." Shu Shu nodded.


The little snake's eggshell could restore their beast cores? Hearing this, the surrounding fallen beasts all looked amazed, but they all believed it.


"Unfortunately, the eggshell wasn’t much, so I could only use less." Shu Shu said.


Everyone saw the birth of the little snake, which meant that they could also estimate how much the eggshell was. They naturally knew that Shu Shu was not lying, and so they started to worry—if the little snake’s eggshell was used up and it was still not their turn to restore the beast core, what should they do?


With this in mind, everyone turned their gaze toward Shu Shu's belly. It seemed that there was still one egg in Shu Shu’s belly. Could they expect Shu Shu to give birth to a few more?


"Anyway, you can rest assured that when Edgar has recovered, he’ll definitely be able to help you restore your beast cores, even without the eggshell." Shu Shu said again. Edgar was more powerful than him; when the moment came, he would surely come up with a way. Even if he could not think of a way, Edgar would be definitely able to crumble his own scales!


Edgar was originally more powerful than Shu Shu? The fallen beasts immediately got so excited that they seemed to forget their worries just now. They had been waiting for so many years; waiting a little longer was nothing.


In the next few days, Shu Shu helped three people restore their beast cores, and then his eggshell powder was used up.


These three people’s performances were the same as Jesse’s; they were unable to control their transformations. But even so, they were still envied by other fallen beasts. At the same time, these fallen beasts began to change their methods and work even harder to curry favor with Shu Shu. It was unknown when Edgar would recover, so the only thing they could count on now was obviously the egg in Shu Shu's belly!


The eggshell was so little, and by then, it was definitely not enough to help all of them to restore their beast cores, so of course they had to work harder. First come first served!


While these beasts were vying to curry favor with Shu Shu, Jesse also expressed that he could help taking care of the little snake. He was currently still not very good at controlling his body, and he could not look after the child all day long, but taking him along and accompanying him to play for a while were still doable.


Edgar agreed; Shu Shu thought about it and also agreed. Although it was important for the child to be with his parents, but occasionally going out to play with others was fine too. Moreover, according to Jesse’s argument, little beastmen were full of energy and should be brought out for exercise in fresh air every day.


Thus, the little snake along with his bag were given to Jesse.


Of course, although it was said that the nursemaid job would be given to Jesse, but it was not completely thrown to Jesse; there were still some people watching. Reynolds took the leopard Bauer along, and Jones and Ian followed after them.


They actually did this not because they did not trust Jesse. It was purely because everyone was idle and had nothing to do. The child was a rarity, so they all took the chance to be close to the child, and while they were at it, they also could help protect the child.


Ian liked the child very much and had been following after the child, but sometimes he would lose him . . . .


He could not do anything about it because the little snake ran very fast. Jesse, Reynolds, and Bauer were all beastmen and able to keep up. Jones could sit on Reynolds’ back and keep up too. Only he, as a sub-beastman who ran slow, was doomed to be left behind.


Edgar’s child was really very lively and ran very fast! Ian was very much helpless, and at the same time, he remembered Chris—if Chris was here, he could carry him and keep pace with the child . . . .


But now there was no Chris around him; there was only the leopard Bauer accompanying him.


"Empress, let's go back first?" Bauer asked.


"Okay." Ian nodded. At this moment, he suddenly felt the sky light up.


Looking up, Ian unexpectedly discovered a bright spot appearing in the sky and was falling rapidly onto the ground.
