A Guide to Raising Your Natural Enemy Chapter 72

Unedited chapter

72. Reynolds the Fallen Beast King

When Edgar climbed out of the small crack on the lifepod, he was prepared to lose his life.

His body was very strong now, but he was still flesh and blood in the end. He could bear staying in the universe for a while, but if it was for a long time, he would definitely not be able to endure it.

However, he was a beastman.

At that time, he did not hesitate a bit. He climbed out of the lifepod and then turned into his original form and wrapped himself around the entire lifepod. After doing so, he actually had peace of mind.

There were his most important people in the lifepod, and he had to protect them well.

There was no air in the universe. If the sub-beastmen were exposed, it probably wouldn’t take long for them to lose their lives . . . . Edgar buried his head under his own body while constantly circulating his spiritual power and began to resist all kinds of impacts, allowing the lifepod to suffer no more harm.

A huge s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p ruin knocked his scales off, and his flesh were embedded with the small rocks that zinged past him, but he never gave up and still firmly protected the lifepod in his embrace.

Edgar did not know how long he had drifted in the universe. He only knew that several times, he thought that he would never wake up again.

However, from the small crack on the lifepod that he was protecting with his body, someone would extend a hand and give him spiritual power. Each time it happened, he would abruptly rouse and once again have the motivation to press on.

He had to make his loved ones safe.

The "beast core" he had cultivated, which was being excessively consumed by him without getting any replenishment, was getting smaller and smaller . . . . The last time he had self-detonated the beast core, it had been his last resort. But this time, he was actually perfectly happy to do it.

When he saw a planet that seemed to have life, his mind was already foggy, but his last thought was to bring the lifepod onto that planet.

Even if he was going to die, he still had to send the people in the lifepod to a safe place first.

He then completely lost consciousness.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear Shu Shu say that his tumor was big again.

What tumor? That was his child! His and Shu Shu's child! It was definitely not a tumor!

Why would it be big again? Why would you say "again"?

How about his tumor?

If he died, wouldn’t Shu Shu give birth to another man’s tumor?

Edgar recovered his consciousness for a little while but soon pa.s.sed out again.

Seeing Edgar close his eyes again, Shu Shu, Ian, and Jones were back to being tight-lipped.

"Edgar, he woke up!" Shu Shu was pleasantly surprised somewhat. Since Edgar was able to wake up, his following condition would definitely get better and better!

As long as Edgar managed to wake up completely, they might well survive too! Edgar was very amazing, ah!

"Edgar will surely be fine." Ian was also very excited and very pleased. His son was indeed truly blessed; he had become like this and could remain alive!

Shu Shu and Ian were very happy, and Jones was also the same. However, Jones obviously sobered up faster than these two men. After sobering up, he turned toward Shu Shu, "Shu Shu, what did you say just now? Your tumor . . . is big again?"

Shu Shu came to his senses and nodded. "Yeah, my tumor’s big again. Does it mean I’m pregnant again? But . . ." After he and Edgar had had a child, they had not done anything at all, ah. He was going to make Edgar wear a condom later!

"What a beast this guy was! You’ve just given birth to a child!" Ian glanced at Edgar with indignation. A sub-beastman who had just given birth to a child had to recuperate for a month. Even if Shu Shu was recovering very well, Edgar was also not allowed to act arbitrarily against him!

"Shu Shu, did you get hurt?" Jones also asked.

"Don't scold Edgar." Shu Shu did not want others to criticize Edgar. "I’m fine. It’s Edgar who’s hurt."

"Shu Shu, consecutive pregnancy isn’t good for your health. You’ve just given birth to a child, and Edgar already . . . *cough cough* " Ian always felt that some words were hard to say to his son's partner.

Shu Shu, however, already came up with a reply, "I do think it’s very strange. After giving birth to the child, Edgar didn't let me touch him, ah . . . ." After giving birth that night, they were very busy and naturally had no time to do anything. The next night, Edgar came back very late, and he was already asleep . . . . When he woke up in the early morning after a night of sleep, he actually made a move on Edgar, but Edgar did not let him have his way and said that he did not want to hurt him.

Afterwards, Jonathan kidnapped Ian and Jones, and he and Edgar also followed them onto the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. At that time, they were actually in contact with each other a lot, but there was nothing intimate about it.

A snake and a hamster could do what, ah!

What was Edgar not letting him touch? Was it possible that his son was not the one who took the initiative? For a beastman to become like this, did he feel no shame? Ian was momentarily speechless.

Thinking about what Shu Shu had meant, Ian became at a loss again. "What the h.e.l.l is going on? Could it be that it’s not a pregnancy?"

"It’s exactly the same as before . . ." Shu Shu said again, "It should be a growing egg."

If it was really an egg, how was it conceived? Ian frowned deeply.

Jones also looked rather perplexed. He stared at Shu Shu in puzzlement for a while and suddenly said, "I think Shu Shu’s pregnant again."

Ian and Shu Shu immediately turned toward Jones.

Jones continued, "Whether it’s a snake or a hamster, in nature, there’s a situation in which they can continue to give birth after giving birth to a litter and without mating again."

Hearing Jones’ explanation, Shu Shu also remembered this thing.

Some female hamsters had just given birth to a litter and had not been with the male hamsters again, but they were able to produce another litter.

But, wasn’t this something that only female hamsters were capable of doing? Why was he also able to do such a thing?

Shu Shu thought of that time when he’d had a tumor in his stomach but still flung himself at Edgar and felt extremely regretful now. And, thinking of how he had gone to bed with Edgar prior to giving birth to the child . . . his face became particularly wonderful.

If he had known earlier, he definitely wouldn’t have done so at that time!

Now Edgar needed a great deal of spiritual power to recover his health while he had a child in his stomach who, as it happened, needed a lot of spiritual power too . . . .

Shu Shu was a little depressed. Ian and Jones, however, were both surprised and happy.

Shu Shu unexpectedly had another child, and the imperial family could finally have two children. This was a great thing, but now that they had fallen onto such an alien planet, could the child be born and grow up smoothly?

"Shu Shu, we’ll go around and take a look. You take a good rest here." Jones pulled Ian to stand up and then gave his clothes to Shu Shu again. "Put on the clothes so you won’t get sunburnt."

Shu Shu nodded and put on Jones' clothes while following Jones and Ian’s departure with his eyes.

Waiting until Jones had walked quite far away, Shu Shu, instead of resting, changed into his original form and then began to dig a hole under a huge rock on the side.

Although the hamster was small, but his brandished claws were flying, and the speed of digging a hole was very, very fast.

Not long after Shu Shu started digging, he dug out a hole that could accommodate one person to lie down. At this moment, his stomach began to feel uncomfortable again.

When he had been carrying the first egg, he’d had no discomfort except for feeling anxious. But it was different this time; his stomach had hurt several times.

There should be some reasons for him to become like this. At that time, his physical condition was very good, and his spiritual power was abundant. Edgar also kept giving his spiritual power, so the child naturally grew very well and very fast. This time though . . . .

This child’s arrival was so sudden, and he simply hadn’t noticed it. Not to mention that he had completely disregarded the child when he had been on the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, later when he had been drifting in the universe, not even a little spiritual power had been set aside for the child.

No wonder this child was unhappy.

Shu Shu lay down on the bottom of the hole and rested for a good while until he felt well enough. Only then did he get up again and continued to dig a hole.

Shu Shu toiled away without stopping and finally dug a pretty big hole. Unfortunately, it was still not big enough to accommodate Edgar.

Probably because he had overdrawn his spiritual power too much, his jīndān was somewhat unstable now. If it were not for his red bead, his cultivation would probably regress like Edgar’s, and he had to turn back into a hamster again . . . . On top of that, his stomach would hurt from time to time, so he no longer dared to put his spiritual power to use.

Coming to Edgar’s side but unable to help treating Edgar with spiritual power, Shu Shu could only feed Edgar some food.

"Edgar, I’ve another egg in my stomach. You must wake up quickly. If you don’t wake up quickly, you won’t be able to watch it being born!" Shu Shu kept repeating these words in Edgar's ear. At this time, Jones and Ian finally came back.

They brought back some weeds, and although they did not bring back any water, which they needed the most right now, they looked hopeful.

"There’s life on this planet." Jones said to Shu Shu with a smile. "We also saw some plants. We’ll go a little further to take a look tomorrow. We should be able to find a water source."

The area where they were located should be a desert. He and Ian found some plants that grew in the desert today, but they did not find any water. Still, they at least had some hope now, didn’t they?

"Shu Shu, did you dig a hole? You’re now . . ." Ian saw the big hole and frowned at Shu Shu. Shu Shu had been spiritless for the past two days. He obviously had not recovered his health. How could he still go and dig a hole?

"I'm fine." Shu Shu smiled at Ian. "If I really can't stand it, I’ll definitely stop."

Looking at Shu Shu, Ian opened his mouth to speak but only came up with a sigh. When he first saw Shu Shu, he always felt that Shu Shu was a little delicate, but now he realized that this child was in fact not delicate at all, which actually made him distressed.

"When I haven’t met Edgar, I also did this kind of thing." Shu Shu said again. Although there were numerous foods in the forest of Ga.s.s Planet, and there was no need to worry about having no water to drink, but that place was more dangerous. He also encountered many troubles when he stayed on Ga.s.s Planet before. Later, the rather ferocious animals around him all disappeared, which should be Edgar secretly helping him.

Ian was even more distressed.

The hole that Shu Shu had dug out was currently still not big enough for Edgar to lie in, but it was just right for Ian and Jones to spend the night. So Ian and Jones brought the egg to take cover in the hole that night.

Shu Shu, like the night before, turned into a little hamster and lay down beside Edgar. However, not long after he had lain down, Ian came over and picked him up and then brought him back to the dug-out, hugging him close. "You have to rest well now. Edgar can only recover if you get better. And only then will we be all right.”

Ian held Shu Shu in his arms. Shu Shu rubbed against Ian, feeling a little embarra.s.sed, but he was soon unable to hold on and quickly entered the dreamland.

When Ian and the others slept, on the other side, many fallen beasts were dividing their prey.

The huge white wolf walked away with the best one of all the prey in his mouth and started to eat it unhurriedly. A black wolf with yellow bands on his coat watched the white wolf for a while and slowly approached the white wolf, wanting to lick the white wolf. Unexpectedly, he had not reached the white wolf yet, and the white wolf suddenly growled loudly at him.

The wolf was scared off by the white wolf and immediately ran away with his tail tucked between his legs. The white wolf then continued to eat the prey in front of him.

Not far away, two male lions, one light-colored and one dark-colored, were also eating their prey side by side. While they ate, they also licked the bloodstain off each other's mouth intimately.

The lighter-colored lion watched the white wolf’s movement over there and clicked his tongue twice. "The boss is too much. Someone took the initiative to get close, but he refused."

They all were beastmen once. Before they became fallen beasts, they naturally liked sub-beastmen. But they had become fallen beasts now, hadn’t they?

The estrus was very painful. Meanwhile, the living creatures on this planet were very horrible; they were practically some kinds of prehistoric creatures, and many of them were invertebrates. Under such circ.u.mstances, they could only look for their own companions to vent.

Just like them, some fallen beasts who had been together for a long time simply became partners, getting more and more intimate and occasionally rolling in the hay . . . .

Of course, there were also some fallen beasts who could not accept anything to happen between men who were also beastmen like them. Included among this sort was their boss.

It was not easy to endure during estrus. Some fallen beasts practically couldn’t wait to ram their heads into the trees, but their boss seemed to have endured for several decades? It’s really amazing!

"The boss has a sub-beastman he likes." The darker-colored lion replied. Among them fallen beasts, everyone who previously had a sub-beastman was basically unwilling to do anything with other fallen beasts.

"The boss hasn't given his beast bead to that sub-beastman to eat. After so many years, that sub-beastman has maybe become another man’s partner."

"The boss previously could still receive something every year." The darker-colored lion said again.

"He didn’t receive anything this year, did he?" The lighter-colored lion somewhat rejoiced in the boss' misfortune. The boss always beat him up; now the boss got his retribution, right?

Seeing his partner babbling nonsense, the darker-colored lion suddenly bit the neck of the lighter-colored lion and then climbed to his back. The lighter-colored lion started to growl resentfully—this was not fair; they should fight first! Moreover, if he fought, he could always win!

However, even if he resisted now, it was already too late . . . . Snorting a few times, the lighter-colored lion was resigned to being pressed down.

The white wolf had already finished eating his prey at this time. He suddenly stood up and issued a summoning howl.

"f.u.c.k! What the h.e.l.l is the boss going to do? Are we going to patrol the whole territory? Now that we have enough food, can't we stay and rest in one place? Why do we have to run around?" The crushed lion was quite dissatisfied. Their boss lost his love, so he deliberately tormented them, did he? It was so troublesome and took a lot of effort to patrol everywhere, ah!

Usually, even if they were going to go and distribute food to various places, they would only a.s.sign a few people. There was no need for all of them to go together, ah!

The lion pressed against him heard his words and immediately bit his neck again in exasperation. This guy always questioned the boss; was he actually looking for a beating?
