82. Using the Beast Bead to Coax Someone
Whose beast core did not develop slowly? It’s no big deal!
The leopard Bauer felt that this was just a very minor side effect, and he really didn’t take it seriously. After all, being able to become a beastman again was already his greatest fortune.
After obtaining the beast core, even if he turned into his beast form, the whole beast was more sober and calmer than before. Furthermore, most of his negative emotions of the past had all vanished like smoke in thin air . . . . The leopard sat on the sandy ground and leisurely licked his claws, thinking that the barren rock desert before his eyes was simply a rarely seen beautiful scenery in the world.
Even though the Fallen Beast Planet was very beautiful, but he certainly still wished to leave this place soon. He did not know how big his child was now . . . .
The leopard Bauer thought for a while, then he stood up and ran far. Shu Shu was pregnant with a child, so he had better go and get some fruits and vegetables for Shu Shu to eat, which could be considered as his tokens of appreciation . . . .
After helping the leopard Bauer restore his beast core, the next turn was the lion Jesse, who was recommended by Reynolds. Jesse was a doctor before; he did not specialize in treating beastmen like Jones did but was a general practitioner instead. He also helped his mother to take care of three younger brothers and had lots of knowledge about childbirth. Reynolds thought that letting him become a human early was of great benefit to Shu Shu.
Shu Shu had just hatched out a child, and there was still another one in his belly. As it happened, he knew nothing at all about child-rearing in the Beastman Empire, and so he was very eager to learn about it. When he heard that Jesse was an expert in this field, he immediately nodded repeatedly. "Then the next is to help Jesse restore his beast core."
Done talking, Shu Shu turned toward Jesse and very confidently stated, " Jesse, rest assured, I’ll definitely help you restore your beast core!"
The lion lay prone in front of Shu Shu and bowed his head over his two front paws, showing deference with eyes full of gratitude.
Such a big lion was actually showing deference to him and still very grateful to him, too! Before, Shu Shu was preoccupied with the injured Edgar and had no time to be concerned about others. Later, he worried that he would fail to help others restore their beast cores, to the extent that he never paid too much attention to these fallen beasts. Now though . . . .
Seeing these fallen beasts all looking at him worshipingly, Shu Shu suddenly felt rather smug and conceited.
The way Reynolds led so many giant beasts before looked so cool and so mighty, ah! In the future . . . was there any possibility that these people would follow him?
Shu Shu imagined having countless people charge and break through the enemy lines for his own sake with just a wave of his hand, and his eyes were full of excitement. Seeing him like this, the gaze of the huge lion in front of him also softened.
Another male lion, Bruno, also wanted to become a beastman. After all, being a beastman was much more convenient and effortless than being a fallen beast. But when he saw Jesse lie prone in front of that sub-beastman, his mood immediately plunged.
Jesse was actually very powerful. The many times he could hit and win against Jesse were all Jesse throwing the games. Although he did not know how Jesse would look after becoming a human, but he felt that Jesse should look pretty good. Would this Jesse like those sub-beastmen and dislike him later?
With such a thought, Bruno could not help but become violent. He originally stayed far behind, but he suddenly stood up and roared at Shu Shu, showing his ferocious appearance.
The mighty roar of the lion burst between the heavens and the earth and seemed to carry murderous intent. Shu Shu, who was just fantasizing about leading a group of beastmen to sweep across the whole planet, instinctively turned around and ran away, getting into the dugout at lightning speed.
Although for him these ferocious beasts were not as terrible as snakes because they did not eat hamsters, but he always felt that they were incomparably powerful and indomitable. Now that there was a lion roaring at him . . . Shu Shu could not stop himself from running away.
Edgar did not go out and was cultivating in the dugout. He had just cultivated for a short while when he saw Shu Shu scurry in from the outside and run straight to his side.
Shu Shu looked startled, and Edgar subconsciously wanted to protect him in his arms, but he was a snake, no more than a long thin body. Although he grew paws but his paws were very short. How could he hold Shu Shu?
Edgar stopped cultivating and was going to encircle Shu Shu. He did not expect that Shu Shu would actually turn into a little hamster all of a sudden and then hide under his paws.
Edgar protected Shu Shu very carefully, coiling his whole body while facing the dugout entrance at the same time. After he did all this, Ian got in from outside the dugout. "Shu Shu’s fine, right?"
Edgar shook his head and continued to stare at Ian.
Edgar came out of his belly; Ian did not have to think about it and could already guess that he definitely wanted to ask him about what was going on just now. So he immediately said, "It's Bruno. That lion has scared Shu Shu."
Edgar nodded. He wanted to go out to help Shu Shu take revenge, but Shu Shu was really frightened right now and still hiding under his paws. It was not suitable for him to go out at this time . . . . Edgar could only endure it for the time being.
"You can rest assured that the guy’s out of luck now." Ian sneered. That Bruno had abducted Jones before, and this time he had scared Shu Shu . . . . His impression of this guy was extremely poor.
Edgar swayed his tail to express that he got it. Ian saw Edgar like this and knew that he most likely still felt annoyed. He smirked and then walked away—he had better not disturb the two little husbands who were being intimate here.
However, talking about this . . . Edgar was now a fallen beast as well as a snake whom Shu Shu was very afraid of. Supposedly, Shu Shu would not get intimate with him, right?
Thinking of this, Ian snorted lightly.
Ian left, and Edgar immediately went to see Shu Shu, who was encircled by himself, but he did not expect to suddenly hear a few miserable "squeaks". After that, a little hamster clawed at Edgar’s scales and climbed over his body and then ran out at lightning speed. The degree of panic and fear was even more serious than when he hid in.
What's going on? Edgar was rather puzzled. The little snake, whom was mainly looked after by him during these two days, also climbed over his body and then chased after the little hamster.
The hamster’s fleeing speed was very fast, but the little snake was also not the least inferior and did not fall behind at all. He chased after the hamster and slithered swiftly, body twisted into an S shape and looking very lively.
"Squeak!" Shu Shu cried out again, "Save me, ah! Edgar, you quickly take the brat behind me away!"
Edgar was temporarily speechless. Getting scared into this form and also being chased by his own child . . . . Shu Shu was . . . *cough cough*!
Although it felt a bit funny, but Edgar did not dare to overlook it and immediately used his snake tail to catch the little snake.
No one chasing behind, Shu Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief and hid in the corner of the dugout, not moving. He had been scared witless by the lion outside just now and wanted to find Edgar for a little comfort. Unexpectedly, while he was still pondering whether he should ask Edgar to help him get out of this predicament and was just feeling a bit at ease, a snake came running to him . . . . Shu Shu at this moment was gloomy and extremely depressed as well. He was actually scared by his own child to the point of fleeing ignominiously . . . .
Seeing the little snake who was still wriggling towards him and kept wanting to pounce on him even though he had been rolled up by Edgar’s tail, Shu Shu was extremely distressed.
He turned his body around, butt facing Edgar, and refused to talk.
Edgar nevertheless grabbed the little snake with his claws and then touched Shu Shu with the tip of his tail, stroking Shu Shu from head to tail and smoothing Shu Shu’s ruffled fur.
Being petted like this was very comfortable, and Shu Shu made a joyful sound. Edgar wanted to take this opportunity to get Shu Shu to come to his side.
Shu Shu nearly gave in but then recalled the shameful things he had done just now . . . . He ignored Edgar and brandished his two claws toward the wall instead. After that, he quickly dug out a small hole on the wall of the dugout and squeezed into it.
He had to calm down after being scared witless by his own son!
Edgar: . . .
Forget it, he would just take this opportunity to go out and help Shu Shu take revenge . . . .
Outside the cave, Bruno had just gotten a beating.
After he roared, two fallen beasts beside him charged into him without the slightest hesitation, and then one of them gave him a slap. Later, after realizing that Shu Shu had been scared away, countless fallen beasts also charged into him, and they all beat him up.
Shu Shu was the hope of all of them, and this guy actually went to scare Shu Shu. It was simply unforgivable!
Bruno also knew that he had been rude and impetuous, but he did not want to admit his mistakes. He lowered his head and fought those people sloppily.
The surrounding fallen beasts were a bit helpless seeing him like this. They had been living together for a long time; of course they could not really finish Bruno. After giving him a beating, they considered it done. At this moment, Edgar, who was holding the little snake with his claws, climbed out of the dugout.
His own sub-beastman was scared by others and now hiding himself in a hole and refused to see him . . . . Edgar looked at Bruno with a particularly cold gaze.
The leopard Bauer turned into a human form, which was the most convenient form to communicate with others. He originally wanted to say a few persuading words, but after seeing Edgar’s expression and sensing Edgar’s imposing manner . . . he could not control himself anymore and directly turned into a leopard and ran away.
Reynolds also couldn't stand it. He became stronger after he became a beastman again, and normally, he would no longer be afraid of a single fallen beast. But in reality, he was still afraid of Edgar.
"Edgar, don't kill." Reynolds said and took Jones to leave the fighting ring.
In fact, this could not be said to be a fighting ring because Bruno simply didn’t have the strength to fight Edgar. He was unilaterally beaten by Edgar from the start.
Edgar swung his tail and directly whipped Bruno with it, leaving a welt on Bruno's body. After the first whip, the second whip and the third whip quickly arrived . . . .
Bruno’s body hurt very much, but the one that made him most painful was that Jesse did not come to help him.
Jesse was able to become a beastman, so he refused to acknowledge him now? Bruno inexplicably felt wronged all of a sudden.
Edgar certainly didn't know the grievances in Bruno's heart, but he still paid attention to propriety when laying his hands on someone. After leaving a few whip marks on Bruno, he stopped. As he stopped, he saw a lion run to Bruno’s side and licked Bruno’s wounds.
"Rowr." Bruno roared at Jesse and bared his teeth, rejecting Jesse's approach.
"Bruno, don't make trouble." Jesse said. These days, everyone was very happy because they finally had hope, but Bruno kept showing an excessive amount of negativity because he did not like sub-beastmen. Jesse was unable to put up with it any longer. What the hell was going on with Bruno?
"Humph!" Bruno snorted and turned his head, still ignoring Jesse.
Jesse circled around Bruno, but Bruno simply ignored him, which made Jesse more and more anxious. He knew that if Bruno continued to hold this attitude, then he would definitely anger Edgar and Shu Shu again later on. At that time . . . if Shu Shu refused to help Bruno restore his beast core, what should they do?
However, he did not know how to placate Bruno, and he did not even understand why Bruno was angry.
Edgar, who was watching this scene, suddenly felt a little funny.
He had long known that these two beastmen were a couple, and it seemed that their relationship was also pretty good? Nonetheless, they might be able to maintain this relationship while they were both fallen beasts staying on the Fallen Beast Planet, but how about later?
He thought that if they really wanted to go on, they had to make a decision and invested something in their relationship . . . .
"Give him your beast bead. He’ll definitely stop being angry." Edgar wrote some words on the ground using his tail and turned toward Jesse.
Jesse read the words that Edgar wrote down and went blank. Giving his beast bead to Bruno? Although he and Bruno had become fallen beasts, but they still had the beast beads. They did not think much about it before because they had become fallen beasts after all, and this thing was completely pointless. Now though . . . .
Jesse was not stupid. After mulling over it, he suddenly understood that Bruno would be like this because he was uneasy. In addition, he had been cold to Bruno because he felt that Bruno had behaved unreasonably, which probably made him even more uneasy.
The beast bead was very important to him. Every beastman knew that they had to keep the beast bead safe because it was to be given to their most beloved sub-beastmen in the future. But now he . . . .
Jesse opened his mouth and spat out his beast bead. He and Bruno had been together for so many years, and they had spent the hardest years together. In the future, he would never be able to find a sub-beastman again . . . . And undoubtedly, those sub-beastmen would not want to be together with him either.
Bruno stared at the beast bead in front of him, and his eyes were bright. His body hurt very much, and the areas that were whipped by Edgar were even more sore as well as painful, but he no longer feel them.
The lion, who was just now still lying on the ground and looking like he had only a breath of life, suddenly stood up with vigor thoroughly restored. He shot a glance at Jesse and “humphed”. After that, he too spat out his beast bead and picked up Jesse’s beast bead with his mouth in turn. Then he turned round and pranced away, hips swinging and butt twisting.
Oh my, he actually didn't think about this before . . . . He should have let Jesse hand over his beast bead earlier. This way, he could have already set his heart at rest long before!
Bruno was thinking this way, and suddenly, a snake tail whipped past and pulled him back all at once.
Jesse smirked and ate Bruno's beast bead, then he came to Bruno’s side and rubbed against Bruno. In response, Bruno went straight into his arms.
It turned out that coaxing someone was so simple. It was just the price was a bit big, giving away the beast bead . . . . Jesse sighed darkly and began to lick the wounds on Bruno’s body.
Not far away, Ian, who was watching this scene, smirked. Edgar actually gave others such an idea to coax someone . . . . Speaking of it, he would not have given Shu Shu the beast bead just because he had wanted to coax Shu Shu, right?
Author’s note:
Little snake: The game I liked the most when I was a child was to play chase with Mother. It’s very fun! It’s a pity that Father would always grab me midway.
