A Guide to Raising Your Natural Enemy Chapter 92

Unedited chapter

92. Recovery and Childbirth

Edgar's mood actually hadn’t been too good these days.

To begin with, shortly after he and Shu Shu got married should be their honeymoon period. Unfortunately, they encountered messy things, and his beast core was broken, so that he could not even eat his spouse.

Many fallen beasts became muddle-headed after holding back for a long time. Now that he was cultivating every day, he actually didn’t become muddle-headed, but he was definitely not happy and also had an urge to fight with others to vent his feelings.

Only, no one would fight him. Those fallen beasts, who all hoped for Shu Shu to save them, would definitely not fight him. As for going hunting . . . . They were in the desert, and there were no prey around them.

Edgar had been holding back for quite a long time. Now, seeing some people come to deliver themselves for a beating, he was naturally a little excited.

As the huge snake rushed down from the aircraft, the aircraft's protective cover rose.

Shu Shu and the little snake were protected on the aircraft, but Edgar went outside . . . . For a moment, Shu Shu had his heart in his throat as well as br.i.m.m.i.n.g with anger at the fallen beasts outside.

These guys were actually going to hurt them! They were really too vile!

Shu Shu was both frightened and very angry. His body could not stop shaking, yet he did not forget to pay attention to the situation outside. Then, to his surprise, he saw that none of the fallen beasts outside were Edgar's opponents. It did not take long before all of them were sent sprawling to the ground.

Half of the fallen beasts headed by the snake had been flattened by Edgar. A goshawk who tried to sneak attack Edgar from the sky got his wings torn off, and all the fallen beasts with legs had their legs and feet snapped off.

His heartbeat had not even calmed down, and the fight was already over . . . . Shu Shu opened his mouth slightly and recovered his senses a little.

After Edgar had sorted out those fallen beasts, he returned to the aircraft. He took out a communication device with very strong signal from the aircraft and sent a message to the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p left on the Fallen Beast Planet, telling a group of people over there to come and catch these fallen beasts back while asking Reynolds to reorganize the data of all the fallen beasts on the Fallen Beast Planet.

Regarding the incident today, it really needed to be said that Edgar had in fact antic.i.p.ated it since long ago.

There were good and bad fallen beasts on the Fallen Beast Planet. It was impossible for him and Shu Shu to help all of them to restore their beast cores. In this case, those fallen beasts who could not become beastmen again would definitely be resentful.

He and Reynolds had long thought about finding an excuse to do a big purge of all the fallen beasts, and now this excuse happened to be delivered to their hands.

"It's nothing. Let's go." Edgar hung up the communication device in his hand and turned his gaze toward Shu Shu. Having disposed of those irksome guys and vented the suffocation in his heart, it was time for him and Shu Shu to live in a two-person world now.

"Oh . . ." Shu Shu nodded and started the aircraft again. He had familiarized himself with flying the aircraft for some time, and now his flying was very smooth.

After flying for a while, Shu Shu finally recovered his senses and stated indignantly, "Those fallen beasts are so vile that they even took shots at us! But they’re also stupid. With so much difference in strength, they still came out to make exhibitions of themselves." How terrible Jonathan and his tricks were, ah! That guy almost sent them to death. And these fallen beasts? They seemed to be particularly stupid . . . .

"Generally, all fallen beasts are quite stupid." Edgar said. The brains of the fallen beasts would degenerate, and their strength would also decrease. More often than not, they were all quite stupid. Those guys undoubtedly dared to take shots because they were so desperate they felt like taking a risk.

Speaking of, Reynolds was able to live this long after becoming a fallen beast, and there were still so many surviving fallen beasts on this planet at present. Although most of the fallen beasts had degenerated to some extent, but their situation was not serious at all. This really made people feel very amazed.

You had to know that at the beginning, the fallen beasts who were sent to the Fallen Beast Planet could only live for a few years or a few decades before they died, and they might degenerate into real beasts before dying. It was because of this that the Beastman Empire had never paid attention to this place . . . .

Edgar had always been wondering about this. Only after he had eaten the aquatic plants did he finally had a little conjecture.

There were not many things on the Fallen Beast Planet, but spiritual power was very abundant. He reckoned that this was exactly the reason the fallen beasts here were able to prolong their lives and delay the degeneration stage.

As for why it was only after Reynolds’ arrival would there be such a change . . . . Before Reynolds came here, the fallen beasts on the Fallen Beast Planet did not hunt and only lived on food sent by the Beastman Empire.

Sitting on the aircraft, Edgar saw a planet that was still very primitive yet full of vitality.

This planet was in fact not useless at all.

Edgar already had such a notion in his heart, and then, after he and Shu Shu flew the aircraft all over the place to explore, this point was further confirmed.

After the aquatic plants, they found several kinds of plants as well as animals that contained spiritual power. However, contrary to what one might expect, there were no daemons who had opened their spiritual wisdom inside these plants and animals . . . . Of course, this was normal. The number of spiritual plants that could be used for alchemy had always been a lot, but how many of them had been able to cultivate into plant daemons in total?

The area where Shu Shu and company had crashed was in the desert, but after traveling for a while, they could see a vast stretch of green, and the surrounding spiritual power was also abundant. The spiritual power on some mountain range was even more abundant, making Shu Shu wish he could become a long-term resident there.

If the spiritual power on the earth was some dried out gra.s.s seeds for Shu Shu and could barely fill his stomach, and the spiritual power on the Ga.s.s Planet and in the Capital Star was a rich home-cooked meal, which not only made his stomach full but also satisfied his desire for good food, then the spiritual power on the Fallen Beast Planet was a sumptuous banquet plus a houseful of snacks.

"The spiritual power on this mountain’s so abundant!" Shu Shu stopped the aircraft next to a mountain and stated emotionally as he looked at the mountain.

Edgar felt the same way. He got off the aircraft, straightened out his coiled body, and absorbed the surrounding spiritual power joyfully. Each piece of his scales felt as comfortable as being brushed with a small brush.

"Let's go search the mountain. Maybe we can find the spirit gra.s.s again!" Shu Shu looked very eager to give it a try. Although he said "maybe", but in fact . . . he felt that he could definitely find the spirit gra.s.s.

There were no cultivators on this planet. Fallen beasts and ordinary animals could not feel the existence of spiritual power, so the spirit gra.s.s was basically well preserved.

Edgar moved his snake head, swept Shu Shu up, and went towards the mountain.

Shu Shu sat on the snake's body, waist circled by the snake and holding a case containing the little snake in his hand. He looked at everything around him with exhilaration as he traveled through the woods. He was very excited when he found that there was a sound of activity coming from ahead. "It seems like there’s another animal coming!"

Indeed, there was another animal coming. It was a creature that looked a bit ugly and had no bones in its body, an indigenous animal of this planet. They were not small in size, but their strength was far from great. These days, Shu Shu and Edgar had already come across many of those, which ultimately became their Chinese food.

This one . . . was also no exception.

This animal looked unattractive, but it actually tasted pretty good. Shu Shu and Edgar continued to walk forward after feeding their stomachs to the full. Sure enough, they found another spirit gra.s.s after walking for a while.

What made them feel quite depressed was that they actually didn't recognize this spirit gra.s.s! Maybe it should be mentioned that so far, they had not found any spirit gra.s.s they recognized.

However, although they basically didn’t recognize these spirit gra.s.ses, but most of these gra.s.ses could be eaten directly, and they really didn’t need to take a lot of trouble to consider doing alchemy.

"Edgar, the spiritual power of this spirit gra.s.s is very abundant. You eat it, okay?" Shu Shu pa.s.sed on the spirit gra.s.s in his hand to Edgar while he himself took out the aquatic plant obtained from the lake previously. He then tore off a small piece of the plant and put it into his mouth to eat.

Finding the spirit gra.s.s was definitely something that made them very, very happy, but there were also places that made Shu Shu very depressed. For example . . . he could not eat too much spirit gra.s.s ever.

Anyway, even if he ate less, he still received a huge benefit. The egg in his body was getting bigger and bigger and showing signs of about to be born.

Edgar did not decline and directly swallowed the gra.s.s down into his stomach. Shu Shu had been getting some benefits lately and did not need to worry about insufficient spiritual power anymore. Meanwhile, the benefits he got were much more than Shu Shu.

At that time on the Ga.s.s planet, although his cultivation speed was very fast, but it still took him several months to finally reach the jīndān period. Now though . . . he could already hit the jīndān period only after several days of effort! Because he had already encountered the lightning tribulation, his body had long been tempered, and he did not have to worry about his foundation being unstable.

After swallowing the spirit gra.s.s down into his stomach, a streak of spiritual power suddenly exploded inside Edgar's body. He quickly circulated the spiritual power in his body and soon absorbed this streak of spiritual power completely. At this time, the spiritual power in his dāntián, that had long become liquid, was already very, very concentrated.

When he encountered the lightning tribulation before, this was what it looked like inside his body.

Edgar was just thinking so, and the liquid spiritual power in his body suddenly began to condense . . . . Was he going to advance to the jīndān period?

Thinking of the lightning tribulation he had encountered before, Edgar did not hesitate to keep away from Shu Shu. Now that he had learned a lot of cultivation knowledge, he certainly wouldn’t think about taking Shu Shu with him to avoid the lightning tribulation.

"Edgar, what’re you doing?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar with confusion and then quickly thought of one thing. "You . . . you’re going to advance, right?" All the surrounding spiritual power seemed to rush forth toward Edgar over there?

Edgar did not speak and started to cultivate on an area far from Shu Shu instead. More and more spiritual power was drawn by him and entered his body, yet the ball of liquid spiritual power in his dāntián became more and more small and was eventually compressed into a solid.

A jīndān reappeared in Edgar's body, spinning around and around. This thing was not the same as the beast core, but its function was similar.

He could become a human again.

Edgar felt his heart lifted up with joy and then realized . . . . He did not seem to have encountered the lightning tribulation?

This was truly a good thing . . . . Edgar uncoiled his snake body and stopped cultivating.

"Edgar, was it unsuccessful?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar a little depressedly. He very much wanted Edgar to become a human sooner, but now it seemed that . . . it was another failure?

"No, it’s successful." Edgar's voice came out, and the huge snake instantly became a man.

"Great!" Shu Shu ran to Edgar excitedly. Edgar finally became a man again! Later on, he could let Edgar hold him to sleep every day without being troubled by such a thing like Edgar's scales being too cold and hard making him feel uncomfortable.

Yeah, it was great. Edgar held Shu Shu in his arms and was in a very good mood. He became a beastman again and, at long last, no longer needed to be upset about things like being unable to hold Shu Shu.

More importantly, he could finally do some intimate stuff with Shu Shu.

He had two children already, but he and Shu Shu's "intimate" days only amounted to dozens of days. He felt miserable just by thinking about it.

Shu Shu threw himself at Edgar and wrapped his legs around Edgar's waist, making Edgar support him by the b.u.t.tocks as he kissed Edgar's face. "You’ll fly the aircraft later, and you’ll take care of the child too. You . . ."

Halfway through his speech, Shu Shu suddenly stopped talking, and his brows started to wrinkle even more.

"What's wrong?" Edgar looked at Shu Shu anxiously, for fear that Shu Shu felt uncomfortable somewhere.

"My stomach hurts." Shu Shu touched his bulging belly. His belly had grown rapidly in the past few days, and now it suddenly hurt . . . . This felt . . . like he was going to give birth?

Just thinking about it, Shu Shu felt like he was having diarrhea in addition to his stomach ache. At the same time, a stream of fluid flowed out from between his thighs and wetted Edgar's hands, which were holding him.

Shu Shu stiffened all over as he felt something sliding down . . . .

"I'm going to s.h.i.+t! You quickly let me go!" Shu Shu shouted anxiously.

The incident happened so fast that Edgar failed to react somewhat. However, he had already experienced it once after all, so when he got a whiff of the smell of the fluid, he immediately realized that Shu Shu should be about to give birth.

Shu Shu was going to give birth! Edgar was a little stupid as he subconsciously sat down on the ground, placing Shu Shu on his lap.

There was more and more fluid flowing out from between Shu Shu's thighs. He shed his pants without waiting for Edgar to do it, and there was something inside.

"Fortunately, I wore loose pants today . . ." Having given birth to the child, Shu Shu momentarily relaxed and could not help blurting out.

". . ." Edgar no longer knew what to say. He took off Shu Shu's pants and took an egg out of them.

Xiao Bao’s birth at that time had been very sudden, making people caught off guard. He did not expect that the second birth was even faster . . . . In an instant of labor, he had another child.

"You look after the egg. I'm going to change my pants." Completely without any consciousness of having just given birth to a child, Shu Shu picked up his own pants from the ground, freed himself from Edgar, and got up. He was going to change pants.

Edgar finally came to his senses at this moment. He carried Shu Shu in his arms and walked over to the aircraft—his sub-beastman had just given birth to a child and should be taken care of!

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