A Guide to Raising Your Natural Enemy Chapter 59

Unedited chapter
59. The Tumor Grows Bigger
Shu Shu spiritedly dug some holes for a long time and also dug up some pretty yet only fingernail-sized shells, and then he was dug up from inside the hole by Edgar. Edgar even stuffed him into his own clothes in spite of his struggles.
Shu Shu was a little unhappy at first, but Edgar’s body was comfortably warm. He scratched Edgar with his claws a few times and was not angry anymore. Finally, panting, he crawled out of Edgar’s collar and turned into a man in Edgar’s embrace. "Edgar, let's go catch some fishes and eat seafood?"
"Okay." Edgar nodded and had someone find a boat.
The sun had begun to set, and when it reached the sea level, it practically cast a golden glow over the ocean.
Shu Shu and Edgar took a small boat and brought a full set of sea fishing tools to fish. Unfortunately, they did not caught anything from the start . . . .
"You must curb your imposing manner!" After turning the problem over in his mind and not coming out with any idea, Shu Shu probed the situation under their boat with spiritual power and finally understood the reason.
There was actually no fish at all underneath their boat, which was definitely because they were scared away by Edgar!
Shu Shu looked at Edgar with a depressed face. Edgar, seeing Shu Shu’s depressed look, pulled the man into his arms . . . .
"Beast!" Shu Shu glared at Edgar. When he saw this man’s cold and indifferent manner, Shu Shu thought about whether this cold-hearted man would be interested in many things or not. As a result . . . according to the man’s performance these past few days, he was simply a beast, ah!
"I’m indeed a beast. What’s the matter?" Edgar looked at Shu Shu in confusion. The meaning of beast referred to animal. After they beastmen transformed, they were all beasts, right?
"Rogue!" Shu Shu bit Edgar's arm. He did not know why, but he especially liked to gnaw on Edgar now, and he also liked to be close to Edgar.
Edgar’s body that was gnawed by Shu Shu tickled. When he pulled Shu Shu close before, he actually just wanted to kiss him, that’s all. But then he was bitten by Shu Shu . . . so he really acted like a rogue and carried Shu Shu back into the cabin.
The boat they were riding swayed along with the sea, and the two of them also swayed along with the sea. When it was over, Edgar’s body was already covered with Shu Shu’s “scent”.
On the wedding night, Edgar was still a little unskilled and finished very fast during his first time with Shu Shu, but now he lasted longer and longer. Unfortunately, Shu Shu had never been able to endure for too long. Therefore, even though Edgar had been injecting him with a steady flow of spiritual power, but he still felt a little weak after he finished and couldn’t help but cry out, "It’s so unfair! How could you last so long?"
Edgar held Shu Shu in his arms and kept kissing him while feeling a little worried—Shu Shu . . . appeared to suffer from premature ejaculation? But sub-beastmen seemed to be this way, very sensitive.
Shu Shu was somewhat unhappy, but after being kissed by Edgar for a while, he thought of something and looked very smug. "Anyway, me being like this is already considered as good. Usually, my own kind is all quick draw!"
They hamster when copulating were not like humans, who took their time making love, and often shot in seconds. With how long he lasted now, among hamsters, he absolutely could’ve turned up his nose at the mouse crowd!
". . ." Edgar previously didn't say anything about it in order not to strike a blow to Shu Shu's self-respect, but he didn't expect that Shu Shu would actually regard it as glory . . . .
After Shu Shu finished, he didn't want to move and once again took out something to eat from his food pouches. Upon seeing this, Edgar asked, "Do you want to eat seafood?" He could not keep letting his partner rely on snacks to eat his fill . . . .
"I want!" Shu Shu nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"I’m going to help you catch it." Edgar took off his clothes and jumped into the sea.
"Hey!" Shu Shu was startled. He ran to the edge of the boat and looked down into the water, but he could no longer spot Edgar.
"Edgar!" Shu Shu called a few times, but there was no response at all. Right as he became more and more anxious, a man surfaced from the sea. It was surely Edgar, right?
Shu Shu instantly breathed a sigh of relief. "Did you catch a fish?"
"I did." Edgar pulled the ladder on the edge of the boat down and climbed aboard. At the same time, the thing held in his hand was slowly dragged out of the water, which turned out to be a fish as big as a man!
Staring at the fish, Shu Shu could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva—such a big fish was undoubtedly very tasty!
The fish was indeed very tasty and smelled extremely good. They just used the machine to cook it simply, and it was already so delicious it blew the taste buds out of their mouths.
After eating the fish under the night sky, Edgar once again ate Shu Shu thoroughly.
In the vicinity of the Imperial family's private beach, there was a beautiful villa for the vacationing Imperial family members to live in. Edgar and Shu Shu spent most of their time in the bed of this house during the next seven or eight days.
After eight days passed, Shu Shu finally felt that he was at the end of his patience. "I don't want to stay here anymore! I want to go outside to play!" Even if going on a honeymoon was mainly to get close to each other, but this way of getting close was also unacceptable . . . . Shu Shu felt that if he went on like this, he probably would die from excessive ejaculation.
He had already killed countless future generations of his. He certainly shouldn't do anything like this again!
The next day, early in morning, Shu Shu put on clothes and pulled Edgar out of the bed. He planned to go to the other side of the island that was open to all tourists.
Nowadays, whether it was Edgar or Shu Shu, they were already well-known figures, and their fame level absolutely didn’t lose to those celebrities’. Consequently, the two men had to make some modifications when they went to the other side of the island.
Shu Shu wore a pair of fake beast ears outside of his exposed beast ears and also changed his skin color with a spray. Other people would not recognize him easily. After all, he only appeared in the live broadcast of the wedding, and he was also dressed in splendid clothes then, which was quite different than his usual self.
It was a little more troublesome for Edgar, but today's various dressing up tools were indeed very handy, so it didn't take too much effort in the end.
Many tourist planets were unable to produce life products on their own and even had to import food. As a result, the commodity prices were relatively high. However, even if other things were quite expensive, seafood was definitely cheap on Blue Mercury.
Every island on Blue Mercury basically had special seafood markets, and this island naturally had some too.
Lobster steamed in broth, stir-fried shellfish, fish in soy sauce . . . . Shu Shu totally wished he could have another mouth to eat.
The Beastman Empire was very huge, and the edible substances that had been researched were especially numerous. Each planet also had its own characteristics. For example, the various foods of the Blue Mercury were completely different from the food of the capital star.
Shu Shu was perfectly satisfied with the food and ultimately bought a few large packs of dried fish and dried shrimps. He intended to bring them back home, store them in his food pouches, and later eat them as snacks.
When he did this, the stares from people around him were clearly like looking at an idiot. This private island that belonged to the Imperial family had a wonderful scenery, and the sea was very clean, but things here were especially expensive. Buying so many snacks that were available on direct online shopping on the island was simply crazy.
Under those stares, Shu Shu stuck his chest out proudly. He was rich now; it didn’t matter even if he ate a pack or threw away a pack!
Moreover, this was his family’s island, ah. The money he spent would eventually return to his hand!
After eating every kind of culinary delicacy, Shu Shu also tried out all the entertainment facilities on the island. Spirit weary and strength exhausted, he finally returned to his place of residence after playing crazy for the whole day. At the same time, he also refused Edgar's request for intimacy.
During the next few days, he, in high spirits, started to visit other islands and took a submarine to see the world at the bottom of the ocean, determined to gain more knowledge and experience.
They played for a good several days. Furthermore, no one recognized them, and they also didn’t meet any accident. At this time, their honeymoon trip was over, and Edgar had to go back to work as well.
The day before they left, Shu Shu went to the beach again, digging . . . .
The crown prince who stayed home alone started to ponder about looking for a beach in the capital star so his partner could play to his heart’s content. But afterwards, he felt that he simply couldn’t let his partner touch the sand again.
On the way back, Edgar did not reduce the speed of the spaceship again, so it took only one day for Shu Shu and Edgar to return to the capital star.
Shu Shu was very happy to play outside, but when he saw the Imperial palace, he was equally happy and felt like he finally came home.
It’s great that he had a home.
Ian called them to his residence and invited them to have a meal. He also asked about Shu Shu's future plans.
Shu Shu’s current identity was different from before. Not only was it completely unnecessary for him to study in the skill class again, but it might also attract onlookers. However, to do something else . . . .
“I want to study something.” Shu Shu said. “But I don’t have any idea what I want to study."
He intended to learn some skills, but he was just a little hamster before and therefore had never really planned his future.
"Do you want to study medicine?" Ian asked.
"Study medicine?" Shu Shu was a bit curious.
"I used to be a military doctor, and now I’m in charge of the hospital. I can make things easier if you want to study medicine, and Jones can also teach you." Ian said.
"I’m going to study medicine then!" Shu Shu immediately said. Studying medicine was also great, ah! He was very interested in the art of healing, and the spiritual power could also be used as an examination instrument . . . .
The more Shu Shu thought about it, the more he felt that studying medicine was very correct. Edgar, however, had a frown on his face.
After returning to their residence, Edgar suddenly said to Shu Shu, "There’s a reason why Jones has been following you from Gass planet and then joined the skill class to teach you."
"What’s the reason?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar curiously and then knitted his brows, somewhat nervous. Jones shouldn’t have found him different from the sub-beastmen of the Beastman Empire, right? If so, did he want to catch him and start experimenting on him?
Different kind would always be rejected, not allowed to exist . . . . Shu Shu grabbed Edgar's hand, somewhat afraid.
"Because you cured me." Edgar gripped Shu Shu's hand. "Shu Shu, the cultivation method you gave me is very magical. It can even turn a fallen beast into a human again. How can such a thing be unobtrusive?"
Just because of this? Shu Shu looked at Edgar in confusion.
"Shu Shu, this cultivation method is very handy as well as very useful. After you get it, you can greatly improve your strength. This will make people covet it." Edgar said again and then stroked Shu Shu’s hair. "I wanted to ask you before. Can you teach it to others?"
After saying that, Edgar watched Shu Shu with some anxiety. This cultivation method was Shu Shu's property and definitely one kind of treasure. It was already very good that Shu Shu was willing to teach him and let him cultivate, but now he actually wanted to teach others . . . . Would Shu Shu be unhappy?
"Of course I can, ah!" Shu Shu was not displeased a bit and immediately replied. If it were not for the animals on the earth being unable to open their spiritual wisdom, he would have already taught them the cultivation method so that there were more animals like him.
Moreover, he already taught Edgar, so Edgar could totally go and teach others himself. It was simply unnecessary to ask him.
"Shu Shu, you . . ." Looking at Shu Shu, Edgar didn't know what to say and finally chuckled, holding Shu Shu and kissing Shu Shu's lips.
Why did you start groping me again? Shu Shu looked at Edgar in puzzlement. "You still haven't told me why Mr. Jones followed me!"
Edgar returned to himself and, after muttering to himself irresolutely, start talking, "Uncle Jones had a beastman lover. The beastman was wounded on the battlefield and became a fallen beast." His mother, Ian, and Jones were both very remarkable military doctors then. There were many beastmen in the army, but there were very few sub-beastmen. As a result, they still got scores of very outstanding pursuers even if they were not high-born.
After his mother had helped treating his father, his father began to pester the beauty and eventually succeeded in marrying him. At that time, Jones also met a beastman and fell in love with said man.
That beastman was called Reynolds. He was not noble-born, but he was not the least inferior to those who had noble bloodline. He had a strong fighting power as well as excellent commanding ability. He even became a major general of the First Corps by relying on his own capability.
He was still young when he became a major general. If he was given enough time, he probably would become a lieutenant general and then a general. He might eventually become a marshal and take over the First Corps.
In the end, such an outstanding beastman unexpectedly had something bad happened to him in a military campaign. Without the beast core, he became a fallen beast.
After becoming a fallen beast, he was sent to Fallen Beast planet. Many people forgot him, but Jones had been thinking all means to save him for years.
"That man has become a fallen beast for thirty years. After a beastman becomes a beast, his brain will gradually degenerate. So many years have passed, and I’m afraid that he has already become an out-and-out beast. The Fallen Beast planet is also in a severe crisis . . . ." Edgar didn't think that Jones' other half was still alive, but Jones obviously had never gave up.
He did not force Edgar to tell him the way to become a human, and he also did not blackmail Edgar. Instead, he came to the capital star and took the initiative to become Shu Shu’s teacher.
"They’re so pitiful." Shu Shu's eyes were a bit red.
"Don't feel sad." Edgar hugged Shu Shu. "Your willingness to share the cultivation method can already prevent many similar tragedies."
Hearing this, Shu Shu happily nodded.
"Anyway, how to do it concretely, we still have to experiment first." Edgar kissed Shu Shu’s forehead. Not only they had to experiment first, before the result came out, this matter also couldn’t be known to anyone other than the three of them.
The next day, Shu Shu met with Jones.
Jones had always been very calm, but after seeing Shu Shu today, his face showed an uncontrollable excitement.
"Edgar said that you have a way to make a fallen beast become a beastman again? And that you also wish to research it with me?" Jones' lips trembled faintly. After seeing Edgar recover, he wondered if Shu Shu had a way that could make a fallen beast recover.
It was certainly not an easy task to think of a way to make a fallen beast become a beastman again. Maybe Shu Shu still had to bear some costs, for example, being struck by lightning . . . . Therefore, although Jones very much wanted to know, he had never rashly asked.
Of course, it also had something to do with Edgar that he could be like this. He had never asked Shu Shu, but he had asked Edgar, and Edgar eventually blocked him.
"Yeah." Shu Shu nodded.
Looking at Shu Shu, Jones suddenly smiled as tears fell down his face silently.
"Teacher Jones?" Shu Shu anxiously watched the other party.
"I'm fine." Jones said, wiping off the tears on his face. "Shu Shu, no matter if you succeed or not, I’ll do my best to cooperate with your research. If you want to learn something, don’t hesitate to tell me. As long as I know it, I’ll certainly teach you wholeheartedly."
He actually no longer had too much hope of saving Reynolds.
In the past thirty years, if wolf-Reynolds couldn’t resist estrus, maybe it had already had a bunch of little wolves with some female ordinary wolves on Fallen Beast planet . . . . But even then, he still wanted to try.
For so many years, he had never forgotten that person. In that case, he absolutely couldn’t allow himself to have any regrets.
"I’ll definitely study well." Having heard what was said, Shu Shu immediately nodded.
Jones came in order to find a way that could make a fallen beast become a beastman again, but he did not directly ask Shu Shu about this point. On the contrary, he provided some materials and talked with Shu Shu about the origin of beastmen, their development, and what exactly was the matter with the fallen beasts.
He had taught Shu Shu for a period of time, and he was already aware that Shu Shu knew nothing at all about many general knowledge and basic things. The top priority task was naturally to let Shu Shu understand more about this world.
Jones was not a nobleman and was only famous in regard to treating beastmen in their beast forms, but he had read a lot of books in order to find a way to rescue and give medical treatment to fallen beasts. If we talked about having profound knowledge, there might not be many people who were better than him in the Beastman Empire.
Jones was also very attentive when he taught Shu Shu. Just after one day of effort, Shu Shu already had a detailed understanding about beastmen and also got a strange feeling at the same time.
The beastmen of the Beastman Empire seemed to have something in common with daemons?
Daemons would only be able to change into human forms after they had cultivated a daemon core, but beastmen had a beast core in their bodies from childhood. The beast core was their source of power and allowed them to change between the human form and the beast form. However, once a beastman lost his beast core, he could not become a human again.
"From ancient times until now, fallen beasts have always existed, and the number has never been less. In history, there have been several insurrections and massacres led by the fallen beasts. It’s also because of this that everyone now is very rejective toward the fallen beasts." Jones explained and then looked at Shu Shu. "Fortunately, you make Edgar recover, or else, Edgar in the future . . ."
Hearing Jones’ words, Shu Shu rejoiced and was glad that he came to this place . . . . If he did not come here, would Edgar have no other choice but continue being a snake?
Thinking of this, in case of Jones not feeling anxious, Shu Shu was actually anxious. "Teacher Jones, I can make Edgar turn into a human solely because of a cultivation method. How about you try to practice it too? "
Although Jones knew that there was something on Shu Shu’s hand that could make a fallen beast become a human, but he thought it would be some kind of medicaments and thus had already been well-prepared for a long period of research. As it turned out . . . it was just one kind of cultivation method?
"I’ll teach you right away." Shu Shu said while placing his palms on Jones’ back.
After Shu Shu’s spiritual power entered Jones’s body, he remembered that Jones was clearly not some daemon beast. In this case, was the cultivation method of daemon beast suitable for him?
Shu Shu was somewhat at a loss, but then he recalled that Jones’ current appearance was very similar to his appearance after passing through the tribulation and decided that Jones should be able to cultivate. He immediately taught Jones the cultivation method that could make a daemon change into a human form. While he was explaining, he also guided the spiritual power in Jones' body to circulate.
Jones directly started to circulate the spiritual power that Shu Shu left in his body according to Shu Shu’s teaching.
Upon seeing this, Shu Shu sat beside Jones and started to cultivate as well.
When cultivating, you definitely had to look internally, and with looking internally like this, Shu Shu discovered a problem—Edgar’s beast bead in his body, which now looked like a tumor, had actually become a bit bigger.
Only absorbing a little spiritual power, and it was still getting bigger . . . . What the heck was going on with this tumor?
Shu Shu felt extremely mixed-up, and it was right at this time that he took note of Jones who was sitting beside him.
He felt embarrassed to tell Edgar about this matter, but he could have Jones help him check it, ah!
Thinking so, Shu Shu lost the mood to cultivate. Instead, he kept staring at Jones, waiting for Jones to conclude his cultivation. In passing, when Jones had a problem with his cultivation, he helped Jones correct it and also gave Jones some spiritual power again.
Jones cultivated very slowly. Even though Shu Shu had sent a large amount of spiritual power into his body, but he still spent a lot of effort to run a single heavenly circulation. After he was done, the spiritual power that Shu Shu left in his body all dispersed, and nothing remained in the end.
At first, Shu Shu still believed that Jones’ performance would be as remarkable as Edgar’s. He didn’t expect that Jones would be like this in the end, and he was inevitably disappointed.
"Your cultivation method is very magical, but maybe it’s not applicable." Jones suddenly said.
"Why?" Shu Shu somewhat didn’t understand.
"I’ve inspected Edgar's beast type a long time ago. The Imperial family's bloodline is uncommon, and Edgar's physical condition is also different from that of the average snake beastman. He can cultivate, but others may not be able to cultivate. It’s much the same as you who can cultivate well, while I myself am not as capable as I’d wish. Of course, this must be tested to be sure." Jones said, and then his expression abruptly became a little dignified. "After a while, I’m going to go to Fallen Beast planet."
Shu Shu had already guessed this and nodded. "Yes, we must test it to know."
"No matter what will happen, I must thank you. After that power stayed in my body for a while, I feel that my vigor’s thoroughly restored now."
"Then, you help me check what exactly is going on with my body, Teacher Jones!" Shu Shu said.
"What’s going on with your body?" Jones asked, puzzled.
"I seem to have a tumor in my stomach." Shu Shu answered.
"A tumor?" Hearing Shu Shu say this, Jones was a little worried. "I’ll do a examination for you right away."
Jones took the examination device and placed it on the part pointed by Shu Shu, and then he began to inspect it carefully. After inspecting it back and forth for a long time, he finally put the examination device down and said to Shu Shu, "There’s no said tumor in your body."
TL's note:
My internet has been having problems since a few days ago, so I'm not sure if I can post an update next Wednesday or not. If there's no update next Wednesday, it means that the update will be pushed back to the next Wednesday (April 3rd).
