38. Watching a Movie Together


After switching spaceship from a cargo spaceship to a spaceship with windows, Shu Shu was very happy. In the end . . . their new spaceship suddenly rocked. It was attacked?!


At the split second when the spaceship rocked, Shu Shu’s face was all white. He wished there was a hole nearby so he could go in and hide himself . . . . Fortunately, the shaking only lasted for a little while. Not long after, someone came running to tell him that they had captured a better spaceship, and, once it was washed clean, he could go there to play.


It turned out that the shaking just now was really a clash with another spaceship! Edgar . . . apparently had grabbed other people’s spaceship again.


As a timid mouse spirit, Shu Shu somewhat couldn’t stop his legs from trembling uncontrollably . . . .


No, he could not be like this! Jones was a sub-beastman, and he was not afraid at all. Shu Shu was a beastman, so how could he be afraid?


Shu Shu held himself together, and soon after, he was brought to a bigger spaceship.


There was nothing but an enormous warehouse in the cargo spaceship. Kamille’s spaceship was mostly empty space as well, and there weren’t many things in it. However, there were many novelties in the newly captured spaceship.


A dedicated recreation room, a dedicated audio-visual room, and also a bar and a swimming pool, many of which were unimaginable to Shu Shu before!


Shu Shu walked a circuit of the spaceship and was soon stupefied: "There’re so many things here!"


"Not really. I’ll take you to see a better one later." Edgar said. His parents had a private spaceship, and it offered many more fun things to do on board. It even had a dedicated performance team . . . . He would definitely bring Shu Shu to play there later.


Didn’t a good spaceship like this count for anything? Shu Shu suddenly had a bit of hatred for the rich . . . .


"I can already speak many words and understand most of the language​​. How about we go watch some movies?" Shu Shu said, pointing at the audio-visual room. There were many things that he hadn’t learned to do, but so far, watching movies was no problem.


The TV he had watched before was about the same to that on Earth. At most, the difference was in the definition of the screen material . . . . Here, the TV for children to watch was not allowed to use too many high-tech products.


But the audio-visual room for adults to watch movies was different. This kind of audio-visual room was said to be stereo surround and 3D4D on-demand, and people could directly enter the movie scene when watching the movie.


At that time, they could either choose to be a spectator inside the movie, sitting quietly around the actors and watching them act each and every scene, or they could experience all the excitements together with the actors themselves by following the actors’ movements and actions.


The former was generally applicable to literary and art films, and the latter was generally applicable to all kinds of adventure or action movies. Additionally, if there was any problem with the body, the latter should not be chosen . . . . After all, not everyone could bear following the protagonist go up the mountain or out to the sea and fight various kinds of monsters.


As it happened . . . almost all the movies on this spaceship were the latter type.


Edgar rummaged through the microchips in front of him and discovered that all of them were very stimulating movies. He couldn’t help but frown slightly.


The little sub-beastman was not very courageous. Previously, when the spaceship rocked, he was very scared. Making him experience falling at a great speed and so on, wasn’t it the same as tormenting him? These were simply not movies that the sub-beastman could watch!


In a tangle, Edgar suddenly came upon a few . . . romance movies?


‘Warm Love’, ‘Snuggling in the Spring Breeze’, ‘My Beast Boyfriend’ . . . . Edgar's past experience made him particularly dislike watching romance movies, but the sub-beastman should probably like them. Thinking about it, Edgar selected ‘Snuggling in the Spring Breeze’.


He didn't know anything about this movie, but, looking at the title, he supposed it was a romance movie about childhood sweethearts? In any case, all kinds of plot twists that he had seen in ‘The Spicy Crown Princess’ most likely wouldn’t appear in this movie.


Having put the microchip into the media player to read, Edgar finally took a seat and was ready to watch the movie together with Shu Shu.


"Don’t we need to wear glasses or helmet?" Shu Shu asked curiously.


"You don’t need them for this kind of home audio-visual room, but if you go to a large cinema to watch a movie, you must wear them." Edgar explained as the movie began to play.


These days, actors weren’t necessary to shoot a movie since you could just use a bunch of handsome virtual characters, and the scenery in the movie was often very good already. Now, large-scale movies could be filmed on-site, and small-cost movies could spend a small amount of money to purchase synthesized scenic resources.


The scenery in this movie was especially beautiful. In view was a pool, and there were various trees full of blooming flowers on the side of the pool. The petals fell in a flutter under the caress of the wind. They fell to the pool and on the sub-beastman in the pool who was seriously more beautiful than anyone could imagine.


Shu Shu felt as if he was sitting on the edge of the pool, and the floating petals were falling on him. He couldn't help but sigh: "So pretty!" The place was practically a paradise on earth, and furthermore, the movie was an immersive one, which was really top of the line! He no longer needed to envy the people on Earth who were able to watch 3D movies!


Shu Shu was there to see the scenery, but Edgar was a little uneasy . . . . What’s going on? How could there be a bathing sub-beastman in the movie?!


Sub-beastmen did not like their own beastmen watch other sub-beastmen. In order to show that he was not interested in other sub-beastmen, Edgar turned his head and stared at Shu Shu fixedly, resolutely not watching the bathing sub-beastman in the movie—in this kind of home theater, people who were watching a movie could also communicate with each other.


"You’re staring at me. What do you see?" Shu Shu did not understand.


"That he isn’t as good-looking as you." Edgar stated seriously.


"Really? Hahaha!" Shu Shu stuck his chest out proudly and continued to watch the movie.


The bathing sub-beastman stood up to leave the pool, revealing a beautiful V-line.


This figure was really good! Shu Shu’s own belly was flabby *huff*. Although his waist was not thick, but it was definitely not alluring like this! Shu Shu lamented and did not press Edgar to watch the movie anymore . . . . How bad would it be if his disciple found out that other person’s figure was better than him?


Speaking of figure, his disciple seemed to have seen his several times?


Shu Shu continued to watch the next scene. Right at this moment, he saw a wolf stepping out from behind the trees beside the pool.


The plot was about to begin? Was this wolf going to eat that sub-beastman? Would there be a beautiful plot of the hero coming to the rescue next? Shu Shu's eyes were shining, and he was watching happily—anyway, it’s all fictitious, wasn’t it?


Edgar could never get tired of seeing the little sub-beastman’s happy appearance. As for the movie . . . and with the sound of a splash to boot, he had better not watch for the sake of propriety.


"Wow . . ." Shu Shu gasped in surprise—the wolf became a beastman! Oh, a naked beastman! This man's figure was better than the sub-beastman’s. Shu Shu especially wanted to touch those blocks of abs. As for the things below the abs . . . . Humph! He hates men whose assets were more robust than him!


"Edgar, you continue to look at me, OK? Don't watch the movie." Shu Shu said to his disciple. This guy’s figure was better! Nevertheless, he would not let his disciple watch.


Was the little sub-beastman feeling jealous? Edgar was happy.


Right now, the wolf beastman in the movie already jumped into the pool and then embraced the sub-beastman in it. They hugged and kissed, and after that, the beastman carried the sub-beastman to the poolside . . . .


This place deserved to be called the interstellar space; it was so open. This kind of movie was not banned at all, and you could even use a top-grade cinema like this to watch such an aesthetically shot movie . . . . Shu Shu’s admiration could not go any further.


On Earth, when his owners wanted to watch such movies, they had to "breach the Great Firewall of China" to go outside!


Shu Shu watched more seriously and planned to study how the beastman and the sub-beastman would do the deed. At this moment, Edgar finally felt that something was wrong.


Why could he hear moans and groans?


Quickly turning his head to look, Edgar happened to see the movie go straight to the point . . . .


It’s actually this kind of movie! And the little sub-beastman was actually watching it! Edgar felt that there was not enough time to turn off the movie. Feeling anxious, he promptly turned into his beast form and used his tail to smash the home theater.


Was there any home theater that could withstand a smash from a nine-star beastman? All the images instantly disappeared, and a wrecked home theater appeared before Shu Shu.


"What are you doing?" Shu Shu looked at Edgar angrily. He was just watching a critical moment!


"You can't watch this." Edgar said.


“Why?” Shu Shu frowned. “Is this not a normal thing? Is there anything unsightly about it?” He had seen so many animal matings, and he had also seen snake with snake many times . . . . When two snakes were entangled together, they did not look so horrible.


"You’re still young, so you can't watch." Edgar’s face was blank, but in reality, his face was hot, and smoke almost came out of the top of his head.


The little sub-beastman had actually seen this kind of movie!


Edgar looked a little fierce. Although Shu Shu was still not convinced, but he also didn’t dare to oppose Edgar. At the same time, he secretly sighed—his disciple was too pure and innocent, which was not beneficial for seeking a marriage partner!


"I’ll take you to eat at the dining room. There’s a chef on this spaceship, and he can make a lot of things." Edgar tried to divert Shu Shu’s attention.


Shu Shu immediately forgot his previous unhappiness. He was not that fond of intimate moment between two men anyway. By comparison, eating was certainly more important!


Edgar brought Shu Shu to the dining room and let Jones accompany Shu Shu for lunch, but he himself went to the warehouse on the lower level of the spaceship.


Edgar now had three spaceships in his hands, but he didn’t dare to lock those star pirates in the other spaceships. Worried that they would employ any methods to grab the spaceship to escape, he ultimately locked all the star pirates in the warehouse on the lower level of this spaceship.


The weapons on the star pirates’s bodies all had been taken away, and they could only wear the thin clothes they were allocated to. Although these people were estimated to still hiding some things on their body, but it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven if they wanted to successfully escape under the soldiers’ close watch.


Edgar went downstairs and saw Jeress and his men in the doorway of the warehouse. They were guarding the door while simultaneously watching the situation inside the warehouse via security cameras. They could see very clearly what those people were doing inside.


"Your Imperial Highness!" Seeing Edgar coming, they conducted themselves with propriety.


"You’ve worked hard." Edgar nodded toward them and then pushed the door and went in.


Those star pirates caught by Edgar were very depressed and also very angry. It had not occurred to them how they suddenly went down the rank and became prisoners.


The men of Kamille’s star pirate group did not feel too bad. The strength of their star pirate group itself was very poor. Although they were resentful after getting caught, but seeing that the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group actually got caught as well, they felt that getting caught was nothing. Some of the men of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group, however, were still unable to accept the current situation.


"We haven’t even fought with those people, and we already lost. I’ve never run into such an unlucky thing in my lifetime!"


"How the hell did that Edgar get into the cockpit?"


"We spent a lot of money to buy the defense system last time. It shouldn’t be a fake, right? Or else how did that Edgar burst in so easily?”


. . . . . .


The men of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group discussed the matter spiritedly. If it were not for the formidable strength of their star pirate group leader and his significant accumulated power, they probably wouldn’t be able to stop themselves from questioning their leader—how did their leader get caught so easily like that and surrender, too?


Generally speaking, how would they become captives if they waged a big war?


These men did not open their mouths and ask questions, but they were all people who couldn't conceal their emotions. The leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group was a smart person; how could he not see it?


After guessing the thoughts of his subordinates, his face was dark.


Of course he did not want to get caught. He believed that the defensive measures had been doing very well, and that his own strength was quite formidable, but that Edgar . . . . That guy had actually arrived at his side silently and then eliminated them all in one fell swoop with the momentum of his sudden attack!


He hadn't fainted then and still thought that even if he was caught, it would not be easy for this man if he wanted to make them, a group of star pirates, obey his orders. It was not that easy to control their spaceship after all. Alas, this man had easily controlled their spaceship.


Up until now, he had never forgotten the words the man had said with no expression at that time—"The technology that you star pirates consider as very amazing most likely is just a basic technical skill that everyone in the army must understand."—, which had made him wish he could cut this man into ten thousand pieces.


Damned basic technical skill!


The defense system he had bought at a high price had no effect in the least. He reckoned that the superb technology he possessed was actually just a basic technical skill in the other party’s eyes!


This leader of the star pirate group hated Edgar to death now.


The other star pirates were about the same as him. They basically had criminal records on them. After getting arrested, they definitely wouldn’t be able to become the citizens of the Beastman Empire. It was more likely that they would be sent to those mineral planets to serve in the army, and then they would stay there for a lifetime . . . .


Presently, the Beastman Empire still retained the death penalty, but there were not many people who would be sentenced to death. In general, the step taken to punish the beastmen who committed a crime was putting them in a special facility or sending them to the mineral star to dig a mine. As for the sub-beastmen, they would be imprisoned.


Although there was a good deal of inconvenience in being star pirates, but it was still better than being sent to the mineral star to dig a mine. These men naturally were filled with complaints about Edgar.


Edgar came right at this moment.


"Your Imperial Highness the Crown Prince?" These men were regarding Edgar with a weird look. They didn’t understand why Edgar would come alone.


Edgar looked at these men with a wooden expression: "Come and fight me?"


These guys actually put that kind of movie in the audio-visual room, making the little sub-beastman see another beastman’s body . . . . He simply couldn’t tolerate it!


Furthermore . . . as long as he thought of the scene he had seen and the moans he had heard just now, he would try to associate them with the little sub-beastman. Edgar already felt his body flaming uncontrollably . . . . He’s now eager to give vent to his excessively vigorous energy.


In addition to this, he was still a little unpracticed in using his current power. This time, practicing with these men before his eyes was advantageous to him . . . .


Fighting? The star pirates’ eyes shone brightly when looking at Edgar. This man had robbed them instead of them robbing him, so they all certainly wanted to beat him up!


"How are we going to fight?" The leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group asked.


"All of you together." Edgar said. The strongest of these star pirates was only the leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group, a mere seven-star beastman, and he clearly didn’t make his fellow star pirates feel reassured.


Moreover, even if these men were together, only some of them could squeeze into Edgar’s side. Therefore, he actually wasn’t worried at all that he would see hundreds of fists coming to attack him together.


"Your Imperial Highness the Crown Prince, having too much self-confidence isn’t a good thing!" The leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group sneered and then, without any warning, turned into his beast form and charged at Edgar. The reason why Edgar had been able to catch him before was most likely because he hadn't had time to turn into his beast form. So, this time, he had to gain the initiative by striking first!


The leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group was the first. Other star pirates also turned into their beast forms and rushed toward Edgar one after another. Their roots were basically a bunch of desperate criminals. Now that they had practically been caught, they might as well beat up His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince to vent their anger!


These men used their beast forms to attack, but Edgar did not turn into his beast form and welcomed them with his human body instead.


After becoming a beastman again, this was the first time he indulged in a fight.



Edgar, who had been struck by lightning thirty-six times, had an incomparably hard body, and the spiritual power inside his body made him nearly indefatigable . . . . Although he was besieged by many men, but he did not drop into a disadvantageous position.


The beast form of the leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group was an elephant with long and sharp tusks. However, not to mention that his tusks couldn’t pierce Edgar's body at all, his tusks were even grabbed and used by Edgar to throw him aside!


He who was a seven-star beastman was like this, there was no further need to speak about the others . . . . These star pirates’ bellies were full of anger. They opened their mouths wide to bite Edgar, but in the end, they were all beaten up!


"His Imperial Highness . . . is so powerful . . ." Jeress and his men had been watching through the security cameras, and they were quickly struck dumb seeing this scene.


His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince did not turn into his beast form, but he was able to defeat so many people. He was really too powerful!


"His Imperial Highness will be my idol forever!" Jeca stated excitedly.


Jeress . . . Jeress touched his own neck and once again rejoiced that His Imperial Highness did not hold a grudge and beat him up.


"Right, why would His Imperial Highness suddenly come to fight with these star pirates?" Someone asked in confusion.


"I heard that His Imperial Highness had a fit of rage in the audio-visual room and wrecked the room. Is it related to that?" Someone asked again.


These soldiers could use the commlink to communicate with each other aboard the same spaceship, so Jeress asked his pals who were patrolling the upper level and quickly got the answer.


"After His Imperial Highness smashed the audio-visual room, someone went there to see and discovered that the media player was playing ‘Snuggling in the Spring Breeze’ . . . ."


"Spring Breeze? Isn’t that a live-action movie widely known for its esthetics?"


"The sub-beastman actor in Spring Breeze is my most favorite actor."


"There’re not many live-action movies in the entire interstellar space, and this one is the best!"


. . . . . .


"This movie is very famous. Could it be that His Imperial Highness didn't know and then brought the sub-beastman to watch it?" Someone suddenly said.


Silence on the spot.


The man who had spoken covered his mouth hurriedly. It was okay for them to secretly watched this kind of movie on their own. But if they were seen watching other sub-beastmen by their sub-beastmen, their sub-beastman would definitely get angry!


Besides, looking at His Imperial Highness and the sub-beastman’s demeanors, His Imperial Highness clearly hadn’t yet succeeded. Bringing the sub-beastman to watch such a movie at this time . . . . The sub-beastman would certainly get angry, ah!


It seemed that His Imperial Highness had failed in romancing the sub-beastman, so he came here to vent his feelings . . . . Anyway, His Imperial Highness was truly amazing, ah! What they were watching was obviously a surveillance video, but it was comparable with a blockbuster movie!


"When His Imperial Highness is done fighting, we’ll copy the surveillance video, and everyone must study it properly." Jeress said and got everyone’s approval.


Edgar spent three or four hours knocking down five or six hundred star pirates.


No, he actually didn’t knock down some of them at all, such as Kamille. This man, who was taken prisoner only several days after he had become the leader of the star pirate group, did not wait for Edgar to approach and took the initiative to kneel down instead. Edgar had no interest to haul up and give the frightened man a beating, so he let him off.


After the big fight was over, Edgar felt refreshed, and his understanding of spiritual power was more thorough. He circulated his spiritual power to heal some of the scratches on his body and went out with the same wooden expression as he’d had when coming in.


It’s almost time for dinner, and he had to accompany Shu Shu to eat.


Behind Edgar, the leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group could not help but curse loudly. Next to him, a group of Blazing Flame star pirates spoke while cradling their utterly bruised faces: "Boss, I finally understand why this Edgar could capture all of you so easily."


The leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group changed from an elephant to a human. Then, with a black face, he sat in the corner and did not move.


Disgrace! This was absolutely a disgrace! So many people fighting against one person, and they actually couldn’t defeat him!


At the same time, Edgar had found Shu Shu. He and Shu Shu had a meal together and ate almost ten pounds of food without much extra effort.


Edgar ate so much meat in one meal; the amount even surpassed the weight of Shu Shu’s whole body . . . . He was actually only enough for Edgar to eat one meal . . . . Having such thoughts, Shu Shu suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why would he think such an awful thing?!


The three spaceships travelled smoothly toward the capital star. Because Edgar slightly deviated from the spaceship route, they basically didn’t encounter any other spaceships along the way. Even if they occasionally came across one, it bypassed them distantly.


The next day, Edgar once again sought the star pirates who stayed in the warehouse and had another big fight with them as an exercise.


This time, more star pirates took the initiative to kneel down because they didn't want to get beaten up by him.


On the third day, he went there again.


When Edgar finally left, these star pirates were all dazed. "I suddenly hope that they can send me to the mineral star earlier . . ."


"If we go to the mineral star, we probably won’t get thrashed again by these people, right?" Another man said.


They sighed heavily, very much depressed. However, if Edgar came back again later, they believed they would keep attacking him. Up until now, this guy had never let slip his expressionless face or his beast form, which truly angered them to the max!


While Edgar became more and more familiar with his current body and the spiritual power within it, General Leva, who was dispatched by the emperor to pick up Edgar, was practically being worried to death.


After he got his order, he rushed to Gass planet, travelling day and night. In the end, he actually was informed that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince had already left in a cargo spaceship.


He could only return by the wayside while looking for the cargo spaceship that the crown prince took.


He did not go looking for it with great fanfare. Rather, he sent out plenty of scout ships. Just now, one of the returning scout ships passed on some news, saying that they had found the spaceship that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince took.


This was news worthy of celebration, but if the cargo spaceship was actually sandwiched between two star pirate ships—one in the front and one in the rear—then it was a different situation!


"You said the spaceship that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince took has been captured by the star pirate ships?" General Leva’s face was dark.


"That should be right!" The man aboard the scout ship said. "One of the star pirate ships belongs to the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group. The leader of that star pirate group is a seven-star beastman. In addition, there are many strong men under his command. And the most important point is that their star pirate ship is equipped with many powerful weapons. The cargo spaceship is definitely unable to resist."


"Quick! Go forward at full speed! Let's save His Imperial Highness!" Leva immediately commanded. Although His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince was very strong, but the soldiers he brought from Gass planet were weak, and there were fewer weapons on their cargo spaceship . . . .


He had to rescue and bring back His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince as quickly as possible.


Hence, when Edgar was planning to have a bath and a good rest after beating up those star pirates yet again, he was informed by his subordinate officers that their three spaceships were surrounded by numerous warships.


"Your Imperial Highness, the warship is contacting us. Do you want to put it through?" Someone in the cockpit asked.


"Put it through." Edgar said. Looking at the spaceship’s serial number, it should be General Leva?


The video call was quickly put through; accordingly, the image of General Leva appeared in front of Edgar.


"Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group! You all . . . Your Imperial Highness?" Leva at last saw Edgar.


"General Leva." Edgar nodded toward the other party.


TL’s note:


1. Remember that there’s no female in this story, so when I write empress/princess, it means the male wife of the emperor/prince. ‘The Spicy Crown Princess’ if literally translated is ‘The Crown Prince’s Hot and Numbing Imperial Concubine’.


2. I don’t know why the author didn’t give the leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group a name. I’m kinda fed up with typing “the leader of the Blazing Flame Star Pirate Group” repeatedly.
