85. The Fallen Beasts Can Recover

Ian found out that there were spaceships landing, and Edgar over there naturally found out too. However, Edgar and Shu Shu did not know the details because the two of them were cultivating.

After not having to help the fallen beasts restore their beast cores, Shu Shu could save a lot of spiritual power, and he generously gave all that spiritual power to Edgar, accelerating Edgar’s recovery speed and eventually making his injuries completely healed.

Just today, a ball of spiritual energy re-appeared within Edgar’s body.

Although it was just a ball of spiritual energy that most likely needed a long time to become a nèidān, but this was already a very good start. Edgar finally felt relieved.

Even though he had never shown anything, but in fact, he had always been very anxious, dreading being unable to cultivate anymore. Now, he could actually set his heart at rest.

As a matter of fact, Edgar’s worry was indeed correct. If an ordinary daemon was seriously injured and lost his/her nèidān, it was very difficult for him/her to re-cultivate it. Edgar, however, had the blood of a mythological animal as well as someone who kept helping him to heal, so the situation was also substantially different.

Controlling the spiritual power in his body to circulate over and over, the circulation speed was getting faster and faster, and the spiritual power gathered was also increasing . . . . Edgar was cultivating incessantly when he suddenly discovered that some spiritual power had entered his body and promptly merged with the ball of spiritual energy in his body, making the ball of spiritual energy in his body enlarge in just a short time.

Edgar opened his eyes and found that Shu Shu was inputting spiritual power into him again . . . . Sighing, Edgar used his tail to write on the side, "You have a child in your belly; don't use your spiritual power on me."

"It’s okay. I’ve left enough spiritual power for the child!" Shu Shu smiled at Edgar.

Although Shu Shu said so, but Edgar could not help but feel distressed, especially after he saw that Shu Shu’s belly only protruded slightly even after so much time had passed. He felt sorry for the child and even more sorry for Shu Shu.

Shu Shu conceived his second child right after he had just given birth to the first one. This was actually harmful to the body. And now the child was even prevented from absorbing the needed spiritual power as much as he liked . . . . Edgar always felt that he had treated them badly.

When this child came out, he had to treat him well, and he had to treat Shu Shu well, too. Edgar put his tail on Shu Shu's belly and gently caressed and stroked Shu Shu's belly back and forth while inputting the spiritual power in his body into Shu Shu's belly.

His spiritual power had just run into the "tumor" in Shu Shu's belly, and it was at once absorbed clean by the tumor. It could be seen that the child was lacking spiritual power very much.

Edgar felt even guiltier. Shu Shu, on the contrary, did not care about it. "Don’t worry. Lacking spiritual power only makes him grow a little slower. It’s fine. You have so little spiritual power; you better keep it." Although his belly had hurt for a while, but he did not feel anything now. Clearly, the child was growing very well.

"I think you should stop worrying about me. I’m already good now. Such a small amount of spiritual power can be re-cultivated quickly." Edgar really wanted to kiss Shu Shu, but he was a snake, a thick and big snake to boot. How could he go and kiss Shu Shu? In the end, he could only use his snake tail to scratch the hollow of Shu Shu’s palm.

"Humph!" Hearing Edgar's words, Shu Shu could not help but snorted. He had been envious of Edgar's cultivation speed for a long, long time!

Edgar rubbed against Shu Shu and once again coiled his body around Shu Shu. Shu Shu was not so afraid of him now, and the little snake was not here, so they could get intimate.

However, they had not stayed intimate for long when they heard some roaring and howling outside—the fallen beasts did not dare to come in, so they called them from the outside with roars and howls.

"Let's go take a look." Shu Shu said. He did not take a step, though. Rather, he waited until Edgar went out before following behind Edgar. There were so many beasts outside, so he definitely had to hide behind Edgar.

Edgar barely stepped out, and he already saw a lot of fallen beasts surrounding the dugout entrance impatiently while roaring in succession. However, as soon as he appeared, these fallen beasts all quietened down and began to write on the ground.

Edgar bowed his head to take a quick look and found that they wrote . . . saw some spaceships?

These fallen beasts said that they saw several spaceships landing together. Edgar almost instantly thought of Chris. His father would definitely make every effort to find them after they disappeared. It was not unexpected for him to come here to look for them.

Jonathan wanted to destroy the spaceship completely, but how could things be that simple? Moreover, when Edgar launched the lifepod to drift in the universe, he deliberately kicked some spaceship fragments out in order to facilitate Chris to find them.

After Edgar read all the words written by these fallen beasts, he gathered a ball of spiritual power in his throat and then spoke, "We’ll wait first."

"Rowr!" The fallen beasts stepped back and looked around guardedly, wanting to know where the voice came from.

"It's me." Edgar's tail tapped the ground.

The fallen beasts gazed straight at Edgar. Fallen beasts were only able to make animal sounds. They had communicated with each other for a long time, but even though they had figured out their own communication methods via animal sounds, it was absolutely impossible for them if they wanted to speak. But now, Edgar could speak!

It was really amazing!

Edgar knew that if Chris was coming, it certainly wouldn’t take long for Chris to find him. So he did not eagerly go out to find the man and just waited here instead. Shu Shu also thought the same.

And Chris was indeed rushing over here at this moment. Only, he did not come to find Edgar right away but went to find his grandson first.

He had been longing for a grandson for so many years. Naturally, he wanted to see his grandson more than his son. His grandson had broken the shell! At present, even if he kept busy without stopping to sleep or rest for a few more days, he definitely wouldn’t feel tired.

Reynolds and company were not far from Ian. They also had communication devices on their hands, and the communication devices could also send out signals. Chris had the aircraft follow the signal to find their location.

Reynolds and Jones were accompanying the little snake to play today. The lion Jesse had tried his best to explain numerous ways of taking care of a little beastman. For example, what to eat, how much water to drink, how to deal with a pooping little beastman, and so on.

Jesse had experience looking after children, but taking care of the little beastman who was a different race was not the same. The little snake was overactive, and they were still flustered somewhat . . . . Naturally, this made Jesse unable to control his body, and so, from time to time, a big change would happen on his person. Because of this, Reynolds and Jones often needed to look after the little snake. Reynolds even had to cover Jesse with a blanket when Jesse suddenly turned into a human—he would not let his sub-beastman see another man's naked appearance!

Accidentally, the little snake pooped again. After he pooped, he was still in his human form, which was a white, plump baby and especially troublesome to deal with. Unfortunately, Jesse had turned into a lion at this time. Reynolds could only let Jesse write how to handle it on the ground and then nervously dealt with the little snake according to Jesse’s instructions.

His own little beastman had not been born yet, and he actually had to take care of others’ child first. After Reynolds, with stiff movements, cleaned up the little snake, he could not help but ask Jesse, "This little snake’s really troublesome! Is a wolf-shaped little beastman also troublesome like this?"

Jones, who was standing on the side, heard these words and did not hesitate to pinch Reynolds' arm. Then he said, "Why did you ask this? If you don't want to take care of the little snake, let me hold the child."

Saying so, Jones reached out to pick the child in Reynolds' hands, but Reynolds did not let him—how could he let his own sub-beastman hold another beastman? It was out of the question even if it was just a small beastman. He did not like the scent of others on Jones’ body.

Reynolds was dodging Jones, and the little beastman in his arms peed on him. Reynolds’ chest was immediately wet, and he strongly smelled like the little snake from head to toe . . . .

Reynolds was gloomy. Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, he saw the scene of a spaceship landing. He and Jones glanced at each other and thought about going together.

Ian was the empress, and Edgar was the crown prince. Now that there was a spaceship coming, it was surely coming to find them!

So, they could leave this place?

Reynolds’ clothes were wet with pee, yet he forgot to change them. He just stared at the place where the spaceship landed with a complicated mood.

He had been on the Fallen Beast Planet for thirty years. During those thirty years, mind-boggling changes might have taken place outside. What would he encounter when he returned outside? Could he still provide Jones with a good life?

Reynolds looked a bit lifeless, and the child in his arms took advantage of this opportunity to turn into a little snake and swiftly ran away.

Reynolds hurriedly chased after him.

While they were being busy, Chris and company found them and happened to see Reynolds, whose chest was still wet, catch a little snake with claws.

Chris sniffed and found that the wet spot on Reynolds’ chest smelled like the little snake. It went without saying what exactly that thing was . . . .

"Chris, catch your grandson." Reynolds threw the little snake on his hand to Chris.

Chris reached out with his hand to catch the little snake and raised his head to look at Reynolds. Even if he made a supreme effort to suppress it, his face still showed a happy expression. "I didn't expect that I can see you again." After Reynolds had become a fallen beast, he met with Reynolds and suggested that he could help Reynolds obtain a better living environment, but Reynolds refused and only asked him to take good care of Jones.

From that time on, he thought he would never see Reynolds again. But unexpectedly, thirty years later, he actually saw Reynolds again, and Reynolds even kept the human form.

Reynolds had recovered and was no longer a fallen beast!

Chris could not help but get excited. The good news he got today was really too much . . . . Carrying the little snake in his arms, he suddenly had an urge to thank God.

"General Reynolds!" Chris' assistant was shocked to see Reynolds—what the hell did he see? He saw General Reynolds, who had become a fallen beast, standing in front of him, perfectly all right!

Hadn’t General Reynolds become a fallen beast? Why was he perfectly all right now?

Many people followed behind Chris. Before, these people were already very, very surprised when they saw the leopard Bauer suddenly turn into a human. They did not understand why a beastman would appear on the Fallen Beast Planet. Now, seeing Reynolds, they were shocked speechless.

What exactly was going on? Could the fallen beasts recover?

When they first landed on the Fallen Beast Planet, they still fretted, worrying that they would get attacked by the fallen beasts. But now . . . .

The empress being fine was a big happy event, but the fact that the fallen beasts were able to recover . . . . This was simply a huge bomb that could absolutely blow up the entire Beastman Empire!

The difficult problem that had perplexed the Beastman Empire for countless years was now solved?
