108. A Menacing Rival in Love, Part 3
Staring at the creature before his eyes, whom he previously thought as a beautiful woman, Shu Shu felt cheated.
This was not a woman at all; this was a monster, ah! A tentacled monster to boot!
Although he liked to eat grilled squid, this woman's writhing tentacles not only failed to arouse his appetite but also made him feel disgusted—those tentacles looked like snakes, which really made people disgusted!
Shu Shu’s previous idea of wanting to touch the other person had long been thrown far away. At this moment, he only thought of hiding as far as possible, but unfortunately, the “beautiful woman” in front of him wanted to catch him—those tentacles actually wriggled towards him!
Shu Shu hid inside Edgar's pocket and did not dare to stick his head out. Edgar was also angry—this so-called princess looked really disgusting to him, and she even turned on Shu Shu repeatedly!
Edgar hit back.
The fighting power of the Kamira Empire’s females was very strong, far more than the males’, and even on par with that of the Beastman Empire’s beastmen. However, those females were never his opponents.
With Edgar’s current strength in the Jindan period, even if he did not turn into his beast form, he could easily clean up the Kamira Empire’s princess before him.
But this female was a princess after all. He could clean her up, but he could not do too much . . . . Edgar extended his feet one after another and kicked those tentacles that tried to approach him. Once those tentacles were hit by him, they would lose their fighting power and become flaccid.
Edgar showed no quarter when he hit. In his opinion, the princess should stop and surrender immediately. Unexpectedly, the fact was completely different from what he thought.
Elena was actually getting more and more excited, and she looked at Edgar like she was going to devour Edgar!
The emotion showing in her eyes made Edgar feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, when another tentacle lashed towards him, Edgar condensed a blade out of his spiritual power and directly chopped off her tentacle!
The chopped off tentacle fell to the side, still wriggling, and blue-colored blood spewed out from Elena's wound. And she finally couldn’t stop himself from crying out in surprise.
Hearing Elena's startled shout, Shu Shu got out of Edgar's pocket, but after taking a glance, he immediately shrank back again.
Space aliens were so awful, ah! He wanted to go home!
The color of this princess’ blood was different from that of human beings. Not to mention that the chopped off tentacle was still moving, it also looked extremely horrible. Of course, the most frightening thing was not this.
This woman's hair, that he previously thought was just very thick, was actually not hair but tentacles as well!
Following Elena’s surprised cry, her "hair", which was loose and draped over her shoulders, raised up from the root and moved as in a dance, making some sub-beastmen who attended the banquet and did not know much about the people of the Kamira Empire could not help but cry out in alarm.
Shu Shu, staying inside Edgar's pocket, shuddered with horror. Elena looked very much like Medusa who had a full head of snakes in the myths and legends of the earth, and he was the most afraid of such creatures.
A full head of snakes, ah! This was definitely much more serious than Edgar with his serpentine beast form! What's more, this woman with a head full of tentacles still wanted to catch him . . . .
Shu Shu could not help but stiffen up just imagining the picture of himself being wrapped round by tentacles.
"Don't be afraid. It'll be okay." Edgar said in comfort. Feeling Shu Shu's fear, his cold and severe expression softened, and he also reached out to gently caress and stroke his jacket pocket.
Elena saw Edgar's gentle expression, and the undulating tentacles on her head slowly calmed down. She let go of her skirt, turning a blind eye to her own tentacle that had been chopped down yet still wiggling, and actually smiled at Edgar and said, "You’re very strong, the strongest male I’ve ever met. I want to give birth to your baby!"
Edgar had just placated Shu Shu, and upon hearing such words, his brows furrowed tightly.
Didn’t all the females of the Kamira Empire value their tentacles greatly? He had chopped off this woman's tentacle, and she actually still wanted to give birth to his child?
"I once vowed that I must give birth to a child of someone who’s stronger than me, and you’re the one who’s stronger than me!" The blue-colored blood was still flowing out from under Elena’s skirt, but Elena looked unconcerned and stared at Edgar expectantly instead.
"Only my partner can give birth to my child." Edgar replied, turning around and leaving. If he continued to stay here, he felt like he would not be able to stop himself from wanting to chop off all the tentacles of this female before his eyes . . . .
"Your Imperial Majesty of the Beastman Empire, I sincerely want to give birth to your baby. You think about it, okay!" Elena saw that Edgar was going to leave, so, lifting her skirt and wriggling her tentacles, she tried to catch up but was stopped by a diplomat of the Beastman Empire.
This Princess of Kamira was so ludicrous; he definitely couldn’t let her chase after Your Imperial Majesty Edgar. It was for the good of Your Imperial Majesty as well as the princess in front of him.
If she really provoked Your Imperial Majesty’s anger, maybe she was going to die. It did not matter if she died, but it would be bad if the diplomatic relations between the two countries were destroyed . . . . Even if the two countries actually didn’t have much contact because they were too far away from each other.
In the end, Elena was still stopped, and Edgar took Shu Shu back to the imperial palace.
As soon as Shu Shu returned to the imperial palace, he changed from a little hamster to a human. He waved his fists, and his face was full of indignation. "This princess is really disgusting! She actually wants to give birth to your child! Dream on!” Edgar was his, his! No matter who it was, they were not allowed to steal from him!
"Don't worry, I’ll never have anything with her." Edgar said. He had no interest at all in such a grotesquely-shaped alien princess.
"Of course you won't have anything with her. Your species is different." Shu Shu replied. He was very angry, but he did not think that Edgar would take a fancy to Elena . . . . Edgar liked him, and his aesthetic was still very good. How could he suddenly consider an octopus spirit?!
"Yes." Edgar nodded. The species of both sides were different, and he also didn't know what that female from Kamira had been thinking to actually say that she wanted to give birth to his child . . . . Only by eating his beast bead was Shu Shu able to give birth to his children, and the children were the crystallization of their love.
"But even so, you mustn’t go see her in the future!" Shu Shu said again. He was very stingy, and now he did not want Edgar to entertain that octopus spirit again!
"Okay." Edgar nodded and kissed Shu Shu's forehead. "I’ve prepared a gift for you. Would you like to see it?"
"What gift?" Shu Shu opened his eyes wide and looked at Edgar curiously, full of expectation. Edgar would give him a present every time there was a holiday. He wondered what Edgar would give him this time . . . .
"You close your eyes first." Edgar said.
Shu Shu immediately closed his eyes and waited until Edgar kissed him on the face before opening his eyes.
As soon as Shu Shu opened his eyes, he saw . . . two Edgars?
"This is a statue carved out of a very hard tree from a nearby planet. After I carved it myself, I colored it with edible paint." Edgar said with a smile.
"What are you up to giving me this?" Shu Shu was puzzled.
"Don't you always want to find something to grind your teeth? You should like this kind of wood then." Edgar said. Although this wood was hard, Shu Shu was still capable of biting it. Moreover, this wood was sweet and nutritious.
"So, I'm going to gnaw 'you' into fragments?" Shu Shu asked.
". . ." Edgar was silent. He found a piece of wood suitable for Shu Shu to grind his teeth, but he really couldn’t give a piece of plain wood for Valentine's Day gift, right? Because that was too perfunctory. And then he thought of carving something out of it . . . .
He did not want Shu Shu to gnaw on something else, so he simply carved himself, thinking that it should be very romantic and interesting to see Shu Shu biting on him with his mouth. But now that Shu Shu said such words . . . .
"Him" being bitten off bit by bit seemed really weird?
"I'll start biting from the head, okay? So as not to make it look too horrible when only the head left for the final bite." Shu Shu said. He really liked the smell of this wood, and being able to gnaw on Edgar also seemed pretty great?
Edgar: ". . ."
"Edgar, I’ve prepared a gift for you too!" Shu Shu suddenly said.
"What is it?" Edgar asked curiously. Shu Shu was not sensitive to holidays before, so he rarely received gifts.
"It’s the ultra-thin condom I grabbed! This is the thinnest condom in the entire Beastman Empire! One costs a few hundred! I bought it for half the price because I was quick to grab it!" Shu Shu took out a box.
Edgar: ". . ." Although he did not understand why Shu Shu had to grab it for half the price, he liked this gift.
After throwing Shu Shu down, Edgar decided that he could not fail to live up to Shu Shu's expectations, and he had to make good use of Shu Shu's gift. Moreover, in order to express his love for this gift, he decided to use them all.
The two people began to tumble on the bed . . . .
On this Valentine's Day, although the movie watched was not good, and an incomprehensible alien princess came running in the middle, but overall, Edgar still had a very pleasant day. After all, Shu Shu’s gift really fitted his intention.
However, he was in a good mood, yet Shu Shu seemed to be not . . . . When Edgar got up on the next day, he saw that Shu Shu had turned into a little hamster and was gnawing on wood-Edgar's nose. He at once knew that Shu Shu was absolutely unhappy.
Shu Shu was indeed unhappy. He was tossed around for a long time last night. His waist was sore, his back ached, and his leg cramped, and only by gnawing on the dummy's nose would he vent his anger. However, seeing Edgar sit on the bed and laugh at him, he could not help but stare blankly at Edgar and then stupidly stopped the motion of grinding his teeth.
"I’ll take you to eat?" Edgar asked.
Shu Shu nodded automatically.
Edgar picked up the little hamster and walked downstairs. Just after they went downstairs, the robot came with delicious food for them and even brought pajamas to Shu Shu.
Shu Shu turned into a man, put on pajamas, and sat down at the dining table. Then he hurriedly took out his communication device and started to browse the star network. He had become a thoroughly net-addicted daemon these days. As long as he had free time, he would go online.
Eating and going to the toilet were defined as free time by him.
If it was Fred or Gary using the communication device to go online while eating, Edgar would definitely reprimand them, but when it was Shu Shu . . . . Edgar was reluctant to reprimand Shu Shu, so he simply turned a blind eye to it.
Connected to the star network, Shu Shu first went to see his social account. After he opened it, he unexpectedly found that the unread comments there had actually reached a hundred million.
How did that come about? He had not posted anything for a long time because there would be tons of people forwarding every time a post was published. Usually, even if some people came to see his previous posts and left comments to him, the amount was about ten thousand a day. How did it suddenly become a hundred million today?
There were too many comments, so Shu Shu did not dare to read them. He simply closed his social account and went to read the news.
There were so many comments appearing under his social account, so there had to be something big happening. And since it was something big, the news would definitely have the ins and outs of it.
Speaking of this, he, the empress, only knew many matters concerning the imperial family after reading the news . . . .
There were indeed the ins and outs of it in the news, and today's news headline was "The Princess of the Kamira Empire Boldly Showed Her Love to His Imperial Majesty the Emperor."
