58. A Tumor Grows

After being startled by Shu Shu’s action of turning into a hamster, Edgar became very, very careful. Unlike charging, the spiritual power was sent into Shu Shu’s body very quickly, for fear that Shu Shu would suddenly turn into a beast when they were halfway done.

Although they beastmen could turn into beasts, but they would never turn when they were doing something on the bed!

Sure enough, Shu Shu did not feel any pain this time and even felt very, very good.

The old mouse who had restrained himself for hundreds of years suddenly had a novel experience . . . . After the first time was over, Shu Shu took the initiative to invite Edgar. "Let's do it once again?"

Edgar pressed him down without the slightest hesitation.

The two men vented their feelings outrageously for a whole night. Even if his body was injected with a lot of spiritual power by Edgar, Shu Shu was still tired to the point of collapsing afterwards and soon fell asleep, snoring loudly. Edgar drew the man beside him into his arms and quickly entered the land of dreams as well.

The next day, Edgar woke up to the crackling sound of Shu Shu eating. He opened his eyes and saw Shu Shu, who was sitting next to him, take out all kinds of foods from his food pouches and eat them without stopping.

Tiny nuts, nail-sized fruits . . . . Shu Shu held them in his cupped hand and stuffed them into his mouth by a mouthful. Both his cheeks bulged out as he chewed.

He ate up a big handful in just a moment and then took out another big handful from his food pouches. It was right at this moment Shu Shu realized that Edgar was awake.

Seeing Edgar watching him unblinkingly, Shu Shu curiously asked, "Are you hungry too?" Saying so, he stuffed a nut into Edgar's mouth.

Edgar chewed for a little while and suddenly hugged Shu Shu firmly. He pulled Shu Shu to his side and started to kiss him.

Caught off guard, Shu Shu fell under Edgar's body, and the dried fruits on his hand scattered all over the bed. He first stared blankly and then started to respond, his eyes shining brightly.

The two men only stopped kissing after a good while. Then Shu Shu said, "That thing we did last night, let's do it once again?" He ended up feeling really good yesterday. Although there was also a little bit of discomfort, but he did enjoy it and still wanted to keep doing it.

No beastman would refuse such an invitation. Edgar even felt that it was not particularly enough to only do it once again.

However, they only did it once in the end because Shu Shu couldn't stand it. "I’m dying. I’ll have kidney deficiency if I go on like this . . . ." He felt that he was a bit overused . . . . Moreover, it was not the rear that was overused, but the front instead . . . . He couldn't shoot anymore.

"Take a rest, we’ll do it again at night." Edgar kissed Shu Shu on the lips. It was truly a good thing that his condition was better than Shu Shu’s. He reckoned it was most likely related to their spiritual power.

"Later at night, let me do it, okay?" Shu Shu’s sight fell on Edgar’s buttocks.

Edgar: ". . ."

"I definitely won’t make you feel any pain." Shu Shu promised.

"My skin’s very hard and will probably hurt you." Edgar said. He had never thought that he would encounter such a problem, so he absolutely didn't know what to say . . . .

Shu Shu nodded thoughtfully. "It makes sense. You’re all muscles, and your body’s so hard . . . ." His legs were wrapped around Edgar's waist tightly, and Edgar was simply unaffected. If Edgar's legs were wrapped around his waist tightly . . . he believed that his waist would certainly be twisted and broken.

Moreover, he really didn’t have any interest in Edgar's buttocks . . . . "So it’s still the same as before. You must keep giving me spiritual power, you know?"

As long as it didn't hurt and felt good, nothing else mattered! When he was lying on his stomach yesterday, he could still stealthily eat and felt especially relaxed.

Thinking about it, Shu Shu picked up the nuts that had fallen on the bed before and ate them.

Shu Shu didn't pay attention to hygiene at all and actually ate things picked up from the bed that had been thrown into a mess by them . . . . Edgar couldn't help but kissed him again.

Why did he feel that even if Shu Shu was sloppy, he also liked that sloppiness?

"You, ease up!" Pressed down, Shu Shu frowned and then looked toward Edgar with hope and expectation across his whole face. "Can I have breakfast in bed?" He didn't want to get out of bed.

"You can." Edgar agreed.

Since childhood to adulthood, Edgar had never done such a thing like eating in bed, but he did it today.

"We’ve gotten married. What’re we going to do next?" Shu Shu finished eating in bed and looked at Edgar inquisitively. "Can I go back to attend class?"

"We’ll go on a honeymoon first." Edgar kissed Shu Shu’s mouth. He had already planned their honeymoon trip.

Their newly wed vacation naturally had to be sweet as honey.

“Where are we going for our honeymoon?” Shu Shu immediately asked. He originally wanted to work hard, but he also wanted to go and play . . . . Or, play first and then work hard!

"You decide." Edgar took out his communication device and found some planets to choose.

“We’re going to another planet?” Shu Shu was rather excited. “I want to go to the beach. Is there a beautiful place with seas?” Honeymoon should be spent at a beachside resort hotel. Sunshine and beach during the day, and big hotel bed at night!

"Then we’re going to Blue Mercury." Edgar said.

"Blue Mercury?" After Shu Shu heard this name, he immediately checked the planet on the communication device and then saw a large expanse of ocean.

“The ocean coverage on Blue Mercury reaches ninety percent. All the dry land is individual islands, and not many people live there. It’s one of the most famous tourist planets.” Edgar explained. “That place is very beautiful, and the Imperial family also has a private island there.”

“Great!” Shu Shu already saw the photos of Blue Mercury, and he liked the planet very much once he saw them. Before, he would feel unwell if he basked in the sun, so that’s why he had never basked in the sun. Now that he had cultivated successfully, he could go to the beach. It’s simply the most wonderful thing ever!

After Shu Shu decided on the location of their honeymoon, Edgar immediately ushered Shu Shu to embark the Imperial family’s private spaceship.

This private spaceship was the spaceship that Edgar had planned to take Shu Shu aboard for an outing, and it had many recreation facilities onboard.

There were so many things that could be played on the spaceship. It was a pity that there were only two of them this time, and lots of the group play facilities could not be played. Fortunately, Shu Shu’s interest in those things was not very big. After boarding the spaceship, what he desperately wanted was to jump into the swimming pool.

In the expensively built swimming pool on the spaceship, Shu Shu, who wanted to learn to swim, was floundering about ceaselessly.

"Don't let go of your hold! I’m going to sink, aaaah!" Holding onto Edgar tightly, Shu Shu simply didn’t dare to let go of his hands, and nearly his whole person clambered up Edgar’s body.

Edgar suddenly understood why his father and mother liked the swimming pool so much, and why they didn't want to take him along every time they went swimming.

"I’m going to get water in my nose and in my ears, too . . ." Shu Shu started to shout again. In fact, his ears were stuffed with special earplugs, but he still felt very uncomfortable.

"Take your time." Edgar said while gently caressing and stroking Shu Shu’s body with an expressionless face.

"I don't want to learn. Give me a swim ring!" Shu Shu finally gave up. He was really afraid that he would sink, so he only dared to flail about a few times and did not dare to really swim.

"What’s a swim ring?" Edgar asked curiously.

"A swim ring is a hollow circle made of waterproof sealing material. When the inside is filled with enough air, it can make me float on the water." Shu Shu explained.

Edgar was silent for a moment and finally said, "There’s no need to be so troublesome."

"Eh?" Shu Shu was a bit puzzled and then saw Edgar take a mask and a suit from the shelf on the side.

"Wear this mask, and you can breathe underwater. Wear this suit, and you can choose to sink into the water or float on the water by adjusting the system on the suit." Edgar explained how to use the two distinct things in front of him.

Shu Shu bit into Edgar without the slightest hesitation—there was actually such things! If he had known earlier that there was such things, why on earth he still learned to swim, ah!

Edgar let the little hamster use his muscles to grind his teeth. This kind of things naturally couldn't be taken out from the beginning . . . . Although he had never talked about love before, but, without needing to be taught, he already knew such matters like how to benefit at others' expense.

In the evening, Shu Shu turned into a little hamster in order to express his dissatisfaction.

Of course, this was not only for him to express his dissatisfaction . . . . Edgar slept wrapped around him every night. He was held very, very tight it made him cannot help but dream of being constricted by a snake, so he decided to not let Edgar hold him tonight!

Edgar regarded Shu Shu for a while before turning Shu Shu over. Then he lightly fondled Shu Shu’s two tiny balls with his fingers.

Hamster was one kind of animal that was also very easy to be in estrus. Only two weeks after the mother hamster gave birth, it could already regenerate a litter. This was due to the male hamster’s "contribution"!

As long as the food was adequate and the temperature was right, the hamster could always give birth and give birth. In other words, the male hamster could always be in estrus . . . .

In order to become a human, Shu Shu was able to keep enduring before. At most, he imitated other hamsters by looking for things to rub himself against . . . . But now . . . .

Turning into a human, Shu Shu took the initiative to push Edgar down. Even if he wanted to be difficult with Edgar, he would not wronged himself. Therefore, he still wanted to make Edgar serve him.

Edgar let Shu Shu sit on his body and suddenly felt that he was quite a beast. Not to mention that he put his hands on Shu Shu, who still looked very young, he even went and took liberties with a little hamster . . . .

However, even if he realized that he was a beast, he still couldn’t restrain himself in the end.

The two men became entangled, and Edgar's spiritual power was sent into Shu Shu's body continuously, making Shu Shu extremely comfortable.

Only . . . . Shu Shu suddenly discovered that apparently not all of the spiritual power was used to nourish his body. A part of it was absorbed by Edgar’s beast bead that he had swallowed into his stomach.

Of course, that thing totally didn’t look like the beast bead anymore. Rather, it looked like a gray-colored small tumor, and the inside contained quite a lot of energy.

What exactly was going on? Shu Shu was somewhat curious and wanted to ask Edgar, but he also felt embarrassed to speak about this matter of him accidentally eating the beast bead . . . .

Forget about it. He had better look for an opportunity to examine himself with the medical treatment machine first. If worst comes to worst . . . then he would have an operation to get this tumor out!

Thinking of having an operation and having to go under the knife, Shu Shu could not help but tremble, somewhat afraid.

He felt terrible imagining himself having an operation and so on. As long as there was no big problem, he had better not have an operation prematurely.

There was no doubt that Shu Shu was in a tangle, but Edgar knew nothing at all about it. He possessed spiritual power now, and he could actually use his spiritual power to check the situation inside Shu Shu’s body. However, Shu Shu had never taught him this method of checking. He only knew to inject his spiritual power into Shu Shu’s body ceaselessly just like that time when Shu Shu helped him treat his wounds.

He gave his spiritual power to Shu Shu, but he was completely ignorant of what happened with the spiritual power once it was inside Shu Shu’s body.

Taking advantage of Edgar's absence, Shu Shu found the medical treatment device and then scanned himself with it according to the manual. He especially scanned his belly many times.

The scanner quickly came up with a result, and the result was that Shu Shu was very healthy, and the whole body, from top to bottom, had no problems at all.

Looking at the conclusions the scanner came up with, Shu Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried about whether there were a lot of problems in his body or not. Now it seemed that there was absolutely no problem at all, ah!

That gray-colored lump would absorb spiritual power. It was probably something extra he had, like a second dāntián and such, that could store spiritual power.

Thinking so, Shu Shu took the initiative to send over some of his spiritual power.

That gray-colored lump absorbed a little of Shu Shu’s spiritual power.

This thing only absorbed a bit of spiritual power, and the red bead in his body that would protect its host also had no reaction to it. It was definitely harmless . . . . Shu Shu soon put this matter at the back of his mind and forgot about it.

Blue Mercury was not far from the capital star. Ordinary public spaceships could reach it in two days. The private spaceship that Edgar and Shu Shu took could get there in only one day.

However, in order to let Shu Shu have fun playing all kind of things on the spaceship, Edgar made the spaceship go very slowly. As a result, they only reached Blue Mercury on the third day.

After Edgar registered his spaceship, he parked the spaceship in the special spaceship parking area and brought Shu Shu onto an aircraft.

The spaceship docking point of Blue Mercury was located above the sea. Some pillars were erected from within the sea, each and every one standing tall, and they supported a square platform at the top. The spaceships were parked on that platform.

Such a maritime docking point was very beautiful. After looking down from the aircraft and seeing the clear seawater, Shu Shu was even more pleasantly surprised. "The scenery here is really wonderful!"

Edgar nodded, smiling with his eyes.

The private island owned by the Imperial family on Blue Mercury was not small, and it occupied the most beautiful sea area. Half of the island was open to tourists, and all tourists could go to the island as long as they paid the fee.

As for the other half of the island, two-thirds of it was a large vacation village with several hotels. Each hotel had its own private beach, and only those who had checked in to the hotel could go in.

The last small piece of the area completely belonged to the Imperial family. There were many security systems here. People who had not been approved to pass could not approach at all, and they also could not check the situation inside.

“This is a private island. Why must you open it to tourists?” Shu Shu was rather puzzled.

"In order to earn money, of course. This island will bring me huge profits every day." Edgar said with a smile. "This island is one of the must-visit scenic spots when you go on holidays to Blue Mercury. It can receive a few hundred thousand ordinary tourists every day, and they’ll bring me tens of millions from ticket revenue and other earnings. In addition, there’s the vacation village. The most ordinary room there goes for several thousand credits a night, and consumption was also very expensive. The village receives ten thousand people every day and can earn ten million. And all of these incomes are after costs and taxes."

As long as you had a few thousand credits, you could eat your way through the Snack Street. Shu Shu stared at Edgar with eyes full of worship.

"Moreover, if you really bar people from coming here, the island definitely won’t be fun." Edgar said again. If they were not open to tourists, the island would undoubtedly be utterly empty. Don't say having fun, just having a meal and doing one’s shopping would’ve been inconvenient. Because the island would receive many tourists every day, it was already remarkable now. There were various kinds of shops on the island nowadays; everything could be bought, and facilities like hospitals and such were also very complete.

The area restricted by the Imperial family only took up one-sixth of the entire island, but it was already very, very large and also had the best sandy beach on the island.

After Shu Shu and Edgar changed to swimsuit and came to the beach, Shu Shu was deeply attracted by this beach.

He rushed off to the beach and left a trail of footprints on the sand. He finally reached the seaside, stepping on the damp beach and letting the seawater engulf his feet.

"Let's go swimming together?" Edgar asked.

"No, I don't want to swim now." Shu Shu rejected Edgar's suggestion. Then he used his spiritual power to inspect the situation on the beach carefully while asking, "There are no other people here, right?"

"There are only us here." Edgar said, his sight falling on the deck chair nearby. Shu Shu suddenly asked if there was anyone here; he probably wanted to . . . . Shu Shu had always been very brazen and would do whatever he thought of. Maybe he really planned to do something with him in broad daylight . . . .

Edgar turned toward Shu Shu and then saw Shu Shu suddenly run to a part of the beach that had never been washed by the seawater and turn into a little hamster.

The furry hamster drilled out of the scattered clothes, chose an area, and then . . ., brandishing his tiny claws, started to dig!

The two brandished paws produced an afterimage, and the little hamster quickly accumulated a pile of sand much larger than himself. A fist-sized hole was also dug out.

Edgar: ". . ."

Shu Shu was absolutely unaware of Edgar's complex mood. He was currently very happy. After seeing this beach, he felt that his hands were so itchy and especially wanted to dig and dig. He could finally satisfy his craving now!

While Shu Shu and Edgar were on their honeymoon, in the capital star, Jonathan, the Duchess of Mund, made an appointment to go shopping with Empress Ian.

Jonathan was the adopted son of the former empress and had once been the most striking sub-beastman in the Empire. His past glory was ten times more than Myer’s current one.

Of course, it was all in the past. Now he already had a partner and a son and did not even live in the capital star.

However, although Jonathan did not usually live in the capital star, but he was still at the forefront of fashion, and just a casual street shot would be regarded as a classic.

Ian was born as a commoner. Even if he had married into the Imperial family for 50 or 60 years and received edification for many years, but in many areas, for example, matching clothes, he still couldn’t compare with Jonathan.

"You can try this style." Inside Khamun Studio, Jonathan recommended a new style of clothing to Ian.

"Is this style suitable for me to wear?" Looking at the set of clothes, Ian was somewhat hesitant.

"You can build a model and use the virtual image to view it." Jonathan said with a smile.

Ian took Jonathan's suggestion to build a model of himself and changed his clothes to said style . . . . After seeing the small figurine, that was exactly the same as himself and also acted the same as himself, wore that style of clothes and looked particularly good, Ian’s eyes were bright. “As expected, your recommendation won’t be wrong, Jonathan.”

Ian custom-ordered some clothes that was completely different from his previous style from Khamun Studio and then brought Jonathan to eat on the top floor of the Imperial Plaza.

From the top floor of the Imperial Plaza, you could overlook the entire business district, and you could also look quite far. Sitting in such a place to eat, anyone’s mood would be very good, but Jonathan stared outside for a while and frowned.

"Jonathan, are you in a bad mood?" Ian asked worriedly.

"It’s that stinky boy in my family. He’s been reluctant to get married." Jonathan replied, smiling.

"He’ll be eager to get married if he gets someone he likes." Ian said. "I was also worried that Edgar would spend his old age lonely. And the result? Someone’s child is still young, and he hurriedly got married."

"It’s good to get married early, so they can have children early . . . . The young people are strong and vigorous; maybe they’ll be able to conceive once they return from their honeymoon." Jonathan looked at Ian enviously.

"I don't hope for a child . . ." Ian sighed.

"What's going on?" Jonathan looked perplexed.

"Edgar's beast bead is gone, so there will be no children in this lifetime." Ian stated. The mood suddenly became a bit heavy.

"What?" Jonathan was shocked. "What the hell is going on?"

Edgar's affair would be known by people sooner or later. Moreover, Jonathan was their close relative, no need to cover up the truth from him, so Ian quickly told the ins and outs of it.

"That guy actually lost his beast bead. Recently, I can’t help but keep wanting to give him a beating." Ian gnashed his teeth as he mentioned his son.

Jonathan was stunned. "Edgar will have no children? What’s to be done then?!"

"So far, there’s nothing to be done about this matter . . . . Also, Chris and I are already very happy than he can survive.” Ian smiled.

"Edgar has no beast bead, so how could he still marry Shu Shu?" Jonathan frowned slightly.

"Shu Shu also knows, and he doesn't mind . . . . He’s a good boy." Ian said, full of remorse toward Shu Shu.

A good boy? Jonathan declined to comment. That Shu Shu was probably only willing to get married for the wealth and status of the Imperial family, right? And Edgar . . . . Could it be that he only chose Shu Shu because he didn’t have the beast bead?
