100. Jones is Pregnant

One year passed by in a flash.

At the beginning, Shu Shu and Edgar continued to live in the base built in the desert, but later, considering the two children, they moved out of the base and then chose to live on a mountain with beautiful scenery and rich spiritual influence.

The mountain was a bit far from the base, but Edgar could still eat at home three meals a day and stay at home at night by taking an aircraft. And most importantly, after living on the mountain, the two children could happily run and jump all over the mountain—Edgar had already cleared the entire mountain thoroughly and had the robot build a fence under the mountain for safety measures, so there was no need to worry at all about dangers on the mountain.

The weather was sunny and cloudless yet a bit cold on this day. Although Shu Shu had woken up, he was unwilling to get out of the bed. Only after the fragrant smell of food wafted in from the outside did he turn over and crawl out of the bed. He quickly dressed himself in a particularly comfortable and loose pajamas and then ran out. "Edgar, what tasty thing did you make?" Shu Shu could not get up in the morning, so it was always Edgar who prepared breakfast.

"I made egg pancakes and shredded chicken congee." Edgar said with a smile.

There were no native chickens on Fallen Beast Planet, so Shu Shu had not eaten chickens and eggs for quite a long time. Having heard what was said, he was pleasantly surprised. "Where did the eggs and chickens come from?"

"Another spaceship came from the capital star and brought a lot of supplies." Edgar replied while he began to ladle up the congee.

Shu Shu did not like to eat oily congee. The shredded chicken congee was made with fat-free chicken stock and contained shredded chicken breast and some green vegetables. The color looked particularly wonderful, and it was served along with egg pancakes and several kinds of salads.

Shu Shu grabbed an egg pancake, took a bite of it contentedly, and then picked up some salad with a pair of chopsticks. "Actually, it’s better to eat congee with salted vegetables . . ." As well as pickled cabbage, pickled cucumber, and pickled radish . . . .

"Children can't eat too salty." Edgar stated, placing the two children on the baby dining chairs separately and giving them a spoon each.

These two children had always lived in a place with abundant spiritual influence, so the "beast cores" in their bodies, which were not the same at all as those of ordinary beastmen, were already very well-developed. Now, if they wanted to keep the human form, they could keep it, and if they wanted to turn into the beast form, they could turn into it. They could already control their transformations freely.

And when they ate, they would definitely keep their human forms. After all, only by keeping their human forms could they taste the food better and eat faster.

Nowadays, the little snake's beast form was already hundreds times heavier than the little hamster’s, but his human form was only a little bit bigger than the little hamster’s. But even so, he was already used to taking care of his younger brother. As soon as he got onto the table, he promptly gave his younger brother an egg pancake.

The little hamster took the proffered egg pancake and immediately took a bite, and then he began to chew it quickly with his small mouth . . . . Because he ate too fast, he almost choked on it. Only after he drank a few mouthfuls of congee did it ease up.

The little hamster’s eating speed seemed to be very fast, but in fact, the little snake ate even faster . . . because he did not chew much. He just swallowed down an egg pancake and started to gnaw on a plate of meat. And that meat was an extra meal for both Edgar and him, two people who were real rice buckets.

Shu Shu was already full after eating egg pancakes and shredded chicken congee, but when he smelled the meat, he still couldn't help but stare at it. Edgar immediately cut a piece of meat from his plate and gave it to Shu Shu to taste.

The little hamster's eager appearance were exactly the same as Shu Shu’s. The little snake learned from Edgar and took a piece of meat from his plate for his younger brother to eat.

After Shu Shu and the little hamster finished eating, they stroked their bellies in satisfaction and did not want to move. Edgar had long been accustomed to this and showed a smiling expression on his face. He stuffed the last bite of meat into his mouth, carried Shu Shu and the little hamster to the sofa, and finally picked up the little snake. After depositing the three of them on the sofa, he let them watch an early childhood education cartoon.

Finished doing all this, Edgar left for the base in an aircraft and went to train the fallen beasts there. Meanwhile, Shu Shu and his two children began to watch the cartoon with great interest.

The ten-minute episode of this early childhood education cartoon was very interesting. Shu Shu and the two children watched it raptly. After watching five episodes, Shu Shu reluctantly turned off the TV and rushed the two children out, letting them play on the mountain by themselves. As for him, he started to fiddle with the spirit stones again and practiced setting up formations.

After three or four hours, Shu Shu felt hungry. He put down the spirit stone in his hand, got up, and went to the kitchen to make something to eat using the cooking machine. Then he stood on the top of the mountain and circulated his spiritual power while shouting, "Sons! Eat!"

His voice spread throughout the mountain with the help of spiritual power. After the little snake and the little hamster heard it, they would run home together, and at this time, Edgar's aircraft should have arrived.

The family of four had eaten, and Edgar, flying an aircraft, left again. After a while, Jones and Dean came over in an aircraft. They would come to Shu Shu every afternoon to teach Shu Shu various medical knowledge, and every few days, they would give the two children a checkup.

"Shu Shu, Reynolds and his men found an edible plant on Fallen Beast Planet, and it tastes very good. I brought you some." Jones came down from the aircraft and immediately spoke to Shu Shu.

Shu Shu was pleasantly surprised. "Really? What is it?" He asked and quickly came to Jones’ side, turning his gaze toward Jones curiously.

"It’s a kind of fern stem, and the inside is full of juice. The juice is also very sweet and doesn’t have the slightest amount of harmful substances, so you can chew it to eat." Jones replied, taking out some thick canes with pointed ends and giving them to Shu Shu.

Shu Shu took one and chewed it . . . . It tasted like sugar cane, ah, and it tasted great! Because it was a bit harder than sugar cane, it could also be conveniently used to grind his teeth, which was perfect for him.

Shu Shu started to gnaw the sugarcane with satisfaction. On the other side, after Dean checked Xiao Bei, he once again fell silent and did not know whether he should be depressed or happy.

The little prince's beast form was still so small, but inexplicably, his human form was very, very strong. If we talked about the human form alone, he was really stronger than most beastmen.

Such a little prince, as long as he did not let people see his beast form in the future, maybe no matter who it was, they would feel that he was a very, very powerful beastman . . . . Maybe this matter could be kept hidden, or maybe not.

Thinking so, Dean felt the big stone in his heart finally disappeared and inevitably relaxed.

The relaxed Dean was even more diligent and stricter when teaching Shu Shu medical expertise, which actually made Shu Shu feel a bit pressured . . . .

"Today’s lesson ends here." When Dean finally said this sentence, Shu Shu was so happy he could not wait to jump up and down.

"Your Imperial Highness the Crown Princess, your theoretical knowledge is already very rich now, and the only thing you’re lacking is practice. I believe that as long as you have enough opportunities to practice, you’ll definitely be able to become an excellent doctor." Dean praised. After speaking, he could not help but glance at Shu Shu . . . . You had to know that his praise was actually discounted. Not only Shu Shu had rich theoretical knowledge, he had even surpassed him and Jones in many aspects. Seeing that Shu Shu's innate ability was healing and his so-called spiritual power was very magical . . . he believed that Shu Shu was already able to become an excellent doctor at present.

"I know that I’m so amazing!" Hearing Dean’s words, Shu Shu looked very proud of himself.

Dean: ". . ." Fortunately, he did not tell the truth, otherwise the crown princess would definitely have a swollen head!

Dean and Jones had taught Shu Shu everything that could be taught to Shu Shu, and Shu Shu had also used his highly retentive memory skill to write down all of them. So they both said they would not come again in the future.

"You’re not coming tomorrow? Then I’ll go find you tomorrow, and we’ll play together." Shu Shu immediately stated.

Jones could not help laughing. Did Shu Shu think that they had come to play with him all these days?

But even though he thought so, Jones did not object. "Then you come over tomorrow. There’re many patients at the base, so you can also help examine them."

"Okay." Shu Shu nodded repeatedly.

The next day, Shu Shu took his two children along and went to the base with Edgar.

There was no airway control on Fallen Beast Planet, so when Edgar flew in the aircraft alone, he increased the speed of the aircraft to the highest level. But now with the children, he slowed the speed down to the extent that it took almost half an hour before they finally reached the base.

At the base, some beastmen who were usually enlisted by Edgar were a little puzzled after Edgar was late. They simply went to the place where Edgar had parked the aircraft in the past and waited, and then they saw . . . the crown prince bring the crown princess and the two children along!

They were startled. Then they all turned their gazes toward the little prince held by the crown princess.

Both princes lived on Fallen Beast Planet. They often played together with the big prince, but they had never seen the little prince. They were simply very curious about the little prince!

Now, they finally saw the little prince! Normally, beastmen all looked like their beastman fathers; the little prince, however, was more like the crown princess. With big eyes, a small chubby face, and a white and tender skin, he looked very cute . . . .

A group of beastmen all stared at the little hamster. Seeing this scene, Edgar could not help but frown. Others could stare at Xiao Bao as they pleased, because little beastmen did not need to be spoiled and should be toughened up as they grew up, but Xiao Bei . . . .

Xiao Bei was practically Shu Shu’s carbon copy; how could Edgar let others stare at him as they pleased? Edgar tilted his body to one side to block his subordinates’ gazes toward Xiao Bei and Shu Shu, snorting coldly.

His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince alone could beat all of them down, and his imposing manner was even more astonishing . . . . After hearing the cold humph, those beastmen immediately didn’t dare to stare indiscriminately.

Edgar then accompanied Shu Shu to find Jones and let Shu Shu take Xiao Bei to play with Jones. As for the little snake, he carried him in his hand to go watch the training.

A hospital had been built at the base, and Jones worked there.

The work in the hospital was not busy at all, yet Jones' complexion today was a little wan and sallow. He did not show it, though. When he saw Shu Shu coming, he pulled Shu Shu to his side with a smile and then started to explain to Shu Shu while seeing the patients.

There were all sorts of instruments in the hospital that could check the beastmen and the sub-beastmen. It was very interesting, and Shu Shu was also very interested in this. Unfortunately, there were not many patients in the base, and Jones was soon done, which actually made him a bit disappointed.

Jones felt a bit funny seeing Shu Shu's expression. Seeing that there was nothing more to be done, he simply invited Shu Shu to have a meal at his place.

Jones used to live alone, so his craftsmanship was not bad, and he was especially good at making a variety of cakes and desserts. Shu Shu gladly went there and eagerly waited for Jones to prepare a table of fine food.

"I don't know why, but I'm so tired these days. So I won't make a big meal." Jones smiled when he saw Shu Shu and Xiao Bei's covetous looks.

"It's okay. Even if you only make a few stir-fried dishes, they also taste very good!" Shu Shu said.

Xiao Bei, held in Shu Shu’s arms, nodded repeatedly. He usually ate food made by Edgar and Shu Shu using the cooking machine. Occasionally, they would do the job themselves, and the result just couldn’t compare with what the cooking machine made. Therefore, the first time he ate the dim sum that Jones made with his own hands, he was extremely touched. Since then, he was especially fond of Jones.

Jones did not cook many dishes, but they were all very exquisite. In addition to the food he personally cooked, he also made barbecues for three people in the oven. These barbecues, one portion was for Reynolds, and the other two were for Edgar and the little snake.

The little snake was carried in Edgar’s hand, and it seemed that he was carried that way the whole time.

When the little snake kept his snake form, no matter how Edgar carried him in his hand, Shu Shu had no opinion since he was unwilling to hold the snake form anyway. But now the little snake was in human form, and being carried for a while was not the same as being carried continuously, ah! Seeing Edgar striding over while carrying the child by his clothes, Shu Shu promptly went up to snatch the child. "Edgar, be careful."

Since when did you need to treat little beastmen gently and cautiously? Edgar was somewhat helpless, but although he thought so, he did not say anything more.

Handing over Xiao Bao to Shu Shu to hold, Edgar suddenly said, "Shu Shu, we’ll leave Fallen Beast Planet in another month."

"What?" Shu Shu stared blankly.

"It's time we return to the capital star." Edgar said.

Shu Shu had adapted very well to life here over this past year, and he also felt that living here was great. So when he learned that he had to leave, he could not help but feel reluctant.

Edgar, seeing Shu Shu's reluctance, said with a smile, "When you return to the capital star, you can eat all sorts of fine food that you want to eat. There’re also several restaurants belonging to the imperial family that you still haven’t visited yet. "

Shu Shu's reluctant expression immediately disappeared without a trace, and he animatedly asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go back? When exactly will we leave?"

"I’ve already restored all the beast cores of the fallen beasts whose beast cores need to be repaired, so naturally, it's time to leave." Edgar kissed Shu Shu's forehead.

The speed at which he helped the fallen beasts restore their beast cores became faster and faster this year, and today, he finally helped the last fallen beast to restore his beast core.

He would let these fallen beasts rest and reorganize and also make some arrangements for them, and then they all should return to the capital star. After returning, his two children would be able to receive better education, and he would be able to accompany Shu Shu everywhere, going through another honeymoon.

Many things happened after he married Shu Shu. He always felt a little sorry for Shu Shu, so he wanted to take Shu Shu to play everywhere.

"After I go back, I want to eat XXX, YYY, ZZZ . . ." Shu Shu did not hesitate to report a bunch of things that he wanted to eat.

"No problem." Edgar immediately replied.

On the other side, Reynolds said to Jones, "We’ll get married after we return, okay? I’ll definitely hold a grand wedding to marry you." He had been helping Edgar train his subordinates for the past year, and Edgar had promised that he would pay him, so he had money for the wedding!

Reynolds was in a very good mood, but after he said that, Jones' face did not look so good.

"Jones, are you unhappy?" Reynolds anxiously asked. His sub-beastman was not going to renege, right? If Jones reneged, then he . . . he would turn into his beast form, stand on his hind legs, and spin a hula hoop, or maybe pretend to be a dog?

"No, I'm just not feeling well." Jones frowned. Seeing Reynolds get in front of himself, he did not know why he suddenly felt a little annoyed.

Not feeling well? Reynolds was worried. "I'll call a doctor for you."

"No need." Jones frowned even more and could not help but waving away Reynolds’ outstretched hand. "I’m a doctor myself. I'm fine." He had just done a medical examination not long ago, and his health was actually better than it had been in the past few years.

"Are you feeling unwell? How about I give you a check?" Shu Shu said. Jones was not in the right state, ah. Usually, even if he rejected Reynolds, he did it sweetly. Looking at it now, how did it seem like he really rejected Reynolds?

Jones had always been very grateful to Shu Shu; moreover, Shu Shu made him feel very comfortable. Hearing Shu Shu's words, he did not hesitate one bit to put his hand in front of Shu Shu. "Okay, you help me check."

Shu Shu held Jones' hand, and his spiritual power went into Jones’ body.

"How is Jones?" Reynolds asked. Jones had a bad temper lately, and he did not know what the hell was going on . . . .

"Jones is in good health and has no problems at all." Shu Shu said.

"It’s good that he has no problems." Having heard what was said, Reynolds was very pleased but also a little puzzled. Since Jones had no problems, then what the hell was going on with him now?

"But his tumor has grown bigger." Shu Shu spoke again. Jones also grew a tumor after eating Reynolds' beast bead, and now the tumor had grown bigger.

"Tumor?" Reynolds was blank.

"You mean I have a child?" Jones reacted quickly and stood up in shock.

Beastmen and sub-beastmen had a long life span, but their golden childbearing period was only about thirty to forty years. When Reynolds was seriously injured and became a fallen beast, he and Reynolds were already quite old. After another thirty years . . . their golden childbearing period had actually passed years ago.

Although Reynolds had been shouting about making him pregnant, Jones actually had no hope at all. After all, it was not easy to get pregnant. Hadn’t he seen that Ian and Chris only got Edgar after being married for so many years?

In the end . . . he was this old and actually got pregnant?

Jones was stunned. Reynolds quivered and suddenly lost control and turned into his beast form, tail wagging incessantly.

He had a child! He actually had a child!

The huge white wolf rubbed against Jones’ side and was going to lick Jones but was swatted by Jones in the nose. This time, Jones was completely upset. "Don’t come near me. I feel annoyed when I see you."

This guy was noisy again last night, making him unable to have a good sleep and thus making him so tired today . . . . He had to kick him out of the room tonight!
