A Guide to Raising Your Natural Enemy - Chapter 93

Unedited chapter

93. Found the Spirit Stone

The aircraft used by Edgar and Shu Shu was very big. It was a jujube pit-type with a slightly pointed head and tail. In the front was the cockpit, while the round space in the middle was decorated into a room with a bed and a dining table as well as separated bathroom and kitchen. It was more convenient than RVs on the earth and good enough for a family of three to live in.

Of course, given that Edgar's build was too big, he usually could only sleep on the floor with the child or lie on the floor alone after looking on helplessly at Shu Shu sleeping on the bed with the humanoid child.

Now his hands and feet finally returned.

After carrying Shu Shu into the aircraft at lightning speed and putting the egg on the bed, Edgar carried Shu Shu into the narrow but multi-functional bathroom and helped Shu Shu clean up thoroughly.

"I can wash myself." Shu Shu felt extremely awkward being carried and washed by Edgar, whom had just transformed and did not wear any clothes.

He had not been intimate with Edgar for a long time, so them being this close together naturally gave rise to some indecent thoughts. But it was obviously not the time now.

"Soon, okay." Edgar said. He controlled the stream of water to wash Shu Shu squeaky clean, took out a bath towel to wrap Shu Shu up, and carried Shu Shu to the bed.

"This second egg looks exactly the same as that of Xiao Bao then." Finally leaving Edgar's arms, Shu Shu concealed his throbbing "little Shu Shu" with the bath towel, sat up, and turned his gaze toward the egg in front of Edgar.

However, he had barely spoken a word, and Edgar already covered him with a quilt and forced him to lie on the bed.

"You take a rest first." Edgar said and then looked for something to wipe the egg clean like he had done it numerous times.

Shu Shu felt that this egg was exactly the same as the one before, but Edgar felt that there was a big difference between these two eggs. Not to mention that the eggshell of this egg seemed to be not as hard as Xiao Bao’s eggshell.

Was this . . . because of congenital deficiency?

Although Xiao Bao had once been mistaken for a tumor and thus got his supply of spiritual power cut back by them, but Shu Shu had not sustained any injuries at least. It was different this time . . . .

Edgar wiped the egg while inputting spiritual power into the egg, wishing he could give all his spiritual power for the egg to absorb.

It seemed that Edgar would take care of the child but not his own affairs . . . . Shu Shu was a bit bored lying down on the bed, so he started to look for the little snake around.

"Xiao Bao, where’re you?" There was nothing inside the box that Edgar had prepared for Xiao Bao. Shu Shu was anxious and immediately called Xiao Bao, but he did not receive any response.

Although the little snake was naughty, but he usually wouldn’t run around all over the place and, according to reason, could not run out either—there was a robot guard at hand responsible for looking after him.

"Xiao Bao is missing?" Edgar was alarmed. He quickly checked the entire aircraft with his spiritual power but did not found Xiao Bao's presence on the aircraft.

These days, they always brought the child with them, took care of him very carefully, and basically wouldn’t leave him alone. When they went out to look for the spirit grass this time, they did not bring the child along because he happened to be sleeping. However, they opened the protective cover and also turned on the alarm system.

The protective cover was still there; the alarm system had not been touched, and the robot standing on the side had not reacted at all. How did the child suddenly disappear?

Edgar immediately switched on the aircraft’s monitoring and looked for Xiao Bao's traces on it. Only then did he find that Xiao Bao actually slithered out confidently by himself without any hindrance, and the robot had never notified them . . . .

How could this be? Edgar frowned but quickly remembered one thing—as long as the spiritual power was distributed around the body, they could achieve "undetectable" under most high-tech products. The little snake was born with spiritual power; although he had never done this before, but he could do it when he wanted to. He . . . should have run out on his own.

"I'm going to look for him!" Edgar scowled. As he was about to rush out, the protective cover suddenly moved.

A very small, black little snake carrying a beautiful glossy tiny stone crawled in from the outside. With his small size, he seemed to be very cautious as he crawled slowly while carrying the stone. But even then, the glossy tiny stone carried by him still slipped down several times. After that, he tried to clasp the stone with his two paws as he went forward, but the stone was too small and too smooth that it ended up rolling down from his paws.

The stone fell to the ground again and again, obviously making the little snake at a loss. After climbing up the aircraft with difficulty, he simply placed the stone on the ground and then pushed the stone forward with his snake head.

"Xiao Bao!" Shu Shu called out.

The little snake raised his head and glanced at Shu Shu. Then he suddenly turned into a person and crawled ahead to Shu Shu’s bed. His development speed was much faster than that of humans on the earth. Although he still couldn't do many things, but he could already crawl fast. After crawling to the bedside, he stood up by holding onto the bed and then showed a toothless smile at Shu Shu.

After smiling, he plopped down on the ground. Clutching the stone with his chubby little hand, he stood up again and handed the stone to Shu Shu.

Although the child only gave him a piece of stone, but Shu Shu felt his heart full to bursting—his child knew to give him things; he was really so cute!

Hugging the child and kissing the child's forehead, Shu Shu emotionally took the proffered stone . . . . Wait, this . . . this was not a stone at all!

Staring at the piece of round stone in his hand that was only as big as a thumbnail and looked like a white jade, Shu Shu was dumbfounded. This stone was full of spiritual power . . . . It seemed like the legendary . . . spirit stone?

"There’s spiritual power on this stone?" Edgar found it too.

"This is a spirit stone!" Shu Shu stated excitedly. A spirit stone, ah. The red bead in his body said that people in the cultivation circles all used spirit stones, and he finally saw one now.

Spirit stone? Edgar was momentarily astonished after hearing Shu Shu mention this thing. He and Shu Shu had really been very lucky recently!

Speaking of, when the Beastman Empire first dispatched people to investigate the natural resources on the Fallen Beast Planet, they had found some good-quality jade mines. It was likely that those so-called jade mines were in fact spirit stone mines, right?

While Shu Shu gave birth to the second egg and found the trace of spirit stone, in the desert where he, Edgar, and others had landed, a cleanup against all fallen beasts on the Fallen Beast Planet was in progress.

The past management of the Fallen Beast Planet was very disorganized. It could even be said that there was no management at all. Reynolds could guarantee that all the fallen beasts who followed him were not bad people, but he did not dare to vouch for other fallen beasts. Now they were reviewing the identity of each fallen beast one by one and learning about the situation of each fallen beast from the fallen beasts who lived with them.

Those who were criminals before coming to the Fallen Beast Planet were the first to be picked out. After that, those who had bullied and even killed other fallen beasts after coming to the Fallen Beast Planet were also picked out.

Not every fallen beast could become a beastman again, and these guys had no chance at all.

Fallen beasts who had committed unpardonable crimes and had a criminal record were put under unified supervision. As for the rest of the fallen beasts . . . . They were drilled by Reynolds and the soldiers of the Imperial Fleet, who had nothing to do.

Of course, when they drilled these fallen beasts, they actually didn’t count on them to be able to come up with something and only wanted to make these very excited fallen beasts vent their excess energy during the drill—a group of energetic and exuberant fallen beasts crowded together would have an accident sooner or later, and unfortunately, how long it would take to restore their beast cores was still unknown.

"Mr. Reynolds, the guarded fallen beasts made trouble again. They want to escape." A captain of the Imperial Fleet hurriedly ran to Reynolds, who was drilling a group of fallen beasts.

"Can they escape?" Reynolds asked.

"They certainly cannot." The captain answered.

"In this case, no need to care about them. Those guys will be honest after being hungry for a few days." Renault said. Seeing that the fallen beasts who were being locked up still had energy to make trouble, it seemed that he was too lenient with them. Giving them meals was too good, so in this case . . . it might be better to starve them for a few days.

"Yes, Mr. Reynolds." Receiving the order, the captain immediately set off. Unexpectedly, as he stepped out, there was a sudden noise outside. At the same time, an aircraft flew over from a distance.

They were all very familiar with that aircraft. However, wasn't that the one they had left behind for the crown prince?

"It’s His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess on board the aircraft."

"His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess came back?"

"Is there someone else with restored beast core?"

. . . . . .

The fallen beasts who were gathered together for a drill talked with each other while watching the aircraft impatiently. And then they saw the aircraft stop under the huge spaceship.

The aircraft's door was opened, and a tall, handsome adult man walked out from within.

The man was hugging a child with his left arm and carrying an egg very carefully in his right hand. Who else if not Edgar?

Edgar had turned into a person?!

The crown princess had given birth again?!

"This boy looks very handsome, ah . . ." Reynolds raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Edgar's appearance. This guy Edgar looked even better than Chris. Fortunately, there was a large age gap between them. Otherwise, the number of sub-beastmen who had liked him in those days would have fallen to zero.

"It’s His Imperial Highness!" Some fallen beasts who had only come to the Fallen Beast Planet a few years ago stared at Edgar excitedly—they saw their idol!

"His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince is really on the Fallen Beast Planet!"

"The sub-beastman beside His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince is the crown princess who can help people restore their beast cores?"

"I didn’t expect that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince would have a crown princess so soon . . . ."

. . . .

While the fallen beasts were talking spiritedly, they also paid attention to the egg in Edgar's hand.

"Another little prince was born?"

"That egg looks really beautiful!"

"I heard that it hasn't been long since the crown prince and the crown princess got married . . . . They already have two eggs in no time. I wonder how many more will be born in the future . . . ."

"It seems like the eggshell is needed to restore the beast core? How long will it take for that egg to hatch? "

. . . . . .

Edgar had completely recovered his strength, and he could hear such comments clearly. But because they did not speak ill of Shu Shu, he didn't care and just stood there, waiting for Shu Shu to get off the aircraft.

Shu Shu quickly got off the aircraft with a small bag on his back. The beasts outside made him a little scared, so he quickly rushed to Edgar's side.

At this time, Reynolds also went up to greet Edgar, "Your Imperial Highness, your beast core has been restored?"

"Yes." Edgar nodded at Reynolds.

"That's really great!" Jones got the news and looked at Edgar happily. Soon after, his gaze fell on the egg. "Shu Shu has given birth so soon?" Edgar and Shu Shu were really amazing. With this speed . . . what was having two children within three years? He reckoned that they could have a bunch in one year.

"Yes." Edgar nodded. "We also found some good things on this planet. We’ll be much faster in helping people restore their beast cores later."

Edgar did not lower the volume of his voice. The fallen beasts who were far away could not hear what he said, but the fallen beasts who followed Reynolds and were drilled by Reynolds heard it. After hearing it, they all looked at Edgar and Shu Shu with excitement and also spread the word.

It was unclear which fallen beast took the lead to fall onto the ground, showing the attitude of fealty. Surprisingly, the fallen beasts in the distance all followed suit and made the same move.

For a moment, all the fallen beasts lay down on the ground.
