70. Shu Shu’s Granary Card


The Fallen Beast Planet was a primitive planet that produced life. It was already discovered by the Beastman Empire several thousand years ago, but from the point of view of the Beastman Empire, the planet was simply a planet with little value.


There were hardly any minerals on this planet. The water source was scarce; the land was barren, and the air was extremely poor. Furthermore, most of the living creatures here were either poisonous or very ferocious.


If such a planet was not too far from the capital star, the beastmen would definitely clean it up and spend money to transform it into a habitable planet, but unfortunately, this planet was very far from the capital star.


Not only was this planet very far away, there were not even any minerals stars in its vicinity! In other words, this whole star field had no development value at all!


Although Gass Planet was remote, but there were people living there. Its natural resources were abundant, and its environment was beautiful. What did this planet have? After the Beastman Empire carried out a series of explorations on the planet, they abandoned it.


This planet was ignored just like that for so many years. Until one day, the people of the Beastman Empire started to think of it again and, by chance, figured out its role—to be used for a place of exile for the fallen beasts.


In the Beastman Empire, because of this and that reason, there would always appear a few fallen beasts every year, and the beastmen who had became fallen beasts would always make some troubles.


Some fallen beasts might have been framed so they would lose their beast cores. They naturally wanted to take revenge.


Some fallen beasts were feared by their families and spouses after the accident and would feel it was unbearable. Later, their temperaments would greatly change, and they might get violent and start hurting people.


Moreover, after some beastmen became fallen beasts, they would feel that the world was unfair and directly become anti-social . . . .


Even if these problems did not exist, fallen beasts were also very energetic, and if their energies were not expended, they would have problems.


After much deliberation, the Beastman Empire finally considered that it would be better to just find a planet, put all the fallen beasts on that planet, and let them live by themselves and be far from other beastmen and sub-beastmen.


A planet with good environment, the parliament was certainly reluctant to specially obtain it for the fallen beasts to live. A planet with overly bad environment, the fallen beasts would not be able to live there . . . . Later, they thought of the Fallen Beast Planet.


The environment of this planet could be said to be very poor. It was very difficult for sub-beastmen to live here, but it was no problem for fallen beasts to live.


As for the problem of the sparse vegetation on this planet, most of the native living organisms could not be eaten anyway . . . .


Whenever the Beastman Empire transported the fallen beasts, they would prepare some food for those fallen beasts. And if the fallen beasts’ families also prepared some stuff for the fallen beasts, they would help delivering it.


In this way, even if the exiled fallen beasts did not start hunting immediately, they would not go hungry for at least a short time. As for a long time . . . the Beastman Empire was unable to take care of them for that long.


In the overgrown rock desert on the Fallen Beast Planet, two huge lions were fighting. They pounced on each other again and again, tearing at each other with the claws, as if they had some sort of deep animosity and big hate toward each other.


The roars of the lions rang out incessantly, and the two lions rolled into a ball. Eventually, the lion with a slightly lighter hair pressed the lion with a darker hair under its body.


The lighter-haired lion lay flat on the back of the other lion, biting the other lion's neck and letting out a low growl. The lion below lowered its head and growled back.


Then the lion on top began to intimately lick the hair of the lion below. At the same time, the two lions also began to rub against each other, rubbing and rubbing . . . .


A certain part of the lion on top was getting bigger and bigger and, at the same time, began to penetrate the butt of the lion below . . . .


In the rock desert, the two lions started doing something unspeakable, and the roars they let out also became a little cheerful and lighthearted.


Not far away, a few different kinds of beasts were gathering together. Some were lying on the ground lazily, while some were peeking or openly watching the “fight” between the two lions nearby.


The movements of the two lions were getting bigger and bigger, and their roars were even louder than the ones they had let out when fighting before.


At this moment, a huge white wolf with glossy fur and whose build was not a bit smaller than those two lions appeared under a boulder on the side. The white wolf, walking from the shadow into the sunshine, suddenly let out an ear-splitting howl.


This sound was very loud and even overwhelmed the roars of the two lions. The lion on top was scared by this sudden baying. Trembling, a certain organ slipped out from the body of the lion below, and some liquid dripped down to the ground.


The lion snarled at the white wolf resentfully, but when the white wolf looked at it sullenly, it couldn't help but shrink into a ball.


A tiger lying down not far away saw this scene. Tail swinging, its appearance was like watching a good drama.


"Aroo!" The white wolf howled again. The originally lazy animals immediately got up from the ground and then gathered around the white wolf. Even the two lions who had just fought fiercely a moment ago did not dare to disregard it.


The white wolf glanced at the beasts in front of him and then ran to the distance.


"Isn’t there plenty of food now? What's wrong with the boss? Why will he go hunting?" The lighter-colored lion issued a low-pitched grunt to his partner.



"I guess his mood isn’t good." The other lion let out a similar grunt.


"What happened?" The lion who asked first was puzzled. "We’ve just received a batch of supplies, and this batch of supplies is even richer than ever. The boss should be happy right now." Saying so, he couldn't help but lick his lips. Every year when the Beastman Empire's spaceship came here, it would deliver a lot of food. But this time, the food was much more than ever. It was said that the imperial family had spent some money to add a lot more . . . . They were all very happy; only their boss seemed to be in a bad mood.


"It’s said that the boss’ old friend didn’t send him anything!" The lion who had just been pushed down was not happy and gave his partner a quick glare.


The two lions were muttering on the back, and the white wolf in front somewhat heard something and turned his head in a very fierce manner.


The two lions at once didn't dare to say anything anymore. At this moment, they suddenly saw a shooting star far in the sky.


"Rowr!" Was this a meteor?


A big group of beasts in the rock desert suddenly looked up, and their movements were spontaneously in sync.


Scalded by the high temperature, Shu Shu woke up.


Although the lifepod had the capability to produce oxygen, but after a hole was torn on it, a part of the oxygen-producing function was broken, so that the air inside the lifepod was getting less and less.


A few days of fatigue and thin air made Shu Shu in a daze and, unbeknownst to him, slowly lose consciousness. Only after feeling the surrounding temperature getting higher to the point of burning hot did he become wide awake.


He was wide awake, but Ian and Jones were still half conscious. Upon seeing this, Shu Shu crawled over with a stagger. While sending his spiritual power that had just recovered a little into their bodies, he cried out, "Mother! Mother!"


Ian and Jones finally woke up.


Before going into the lifepod, they had not eaten anything for several days and had also been ill-treated. Their complexions were very ugly, and their conditions were even worse than Shu Shu’s. If it were not for Shu Shu injecting them with spiritual power as well as stuffing them with a bit of food, maybe they were already dead.


After waking up and feeling the increasing temperature in the lifepod, the faces of the two men immediately changed. Ian asked with a hoarse voice, "What’s going on?"


"I don't know. Edgar’s fine, right?" Shu Shu turned toward the area on the lifepod that had a hole torn into it before and saw it covered with a layer of snake scales now. It was obviously Edgar outside, using his own body to protect the entire lifepod so they were not exposed to the universe.


Shu Shu had given all his spiritual power to Edgar before he lost consciousness. Edgar was still alive at that time, but now . . . .


Shu Shu wanted to send some spiritual power into Edgar to make Edgar feel a bit better, but after he extended his hand, he remembered that he had no spiritual power at all now. He could only lower his hand again in regret.


At this moment, a sound of violent crash was suddenly heard, and it seemed like the entire lifepod was smashed . . . . Although Shu Shu firmly grabbed hold onto the things around, but because of the huge impact, he was still sent flying, and his head smashed into the cabin wall in the end. The knock opened a gash on his head.


Blood almost immediately flowed down from his forehead and covered his face.


"Shu Shu!" Ian was petrified. He actually never encountered such a problem like Shu Shu’s, so he cried out in fear upon seeing this.


"I'm fine . . ." If it was before, Shu Shu might have already fainted from receiving such an injury. Yet this time, he actually didn’t faint and was still standing. Only suffering some pain, he spoke again, "I'm fine . . ."


Shu Shu’s voice barely fell, and the cabin they were in suddenly split open. It split in half and exposed them.


"Edgar!" Shu Shu screamed. He touched the split open area and then heard a dull sound. It seemed that there was something rolling to the side. Could it be Edgar?


The lifepod was all split up and in pieces. Shu Shu climbed out of the lifepod and saw Edgar at first glance. He could not be bothered to look at the surrounding situation and dragged himself right away toward the scorched black big snake beside the lifepod.


He had always been afraid of snakes, but now he completely forgot about this matter and directly threw himself at the snake.


The big snake’s injuries were very grave. Although Shu Shu came close to him, but he did not dare to touch him as he wished. He just stayed on the side and called in a low voice, "Edgar, Edgar!”


The scales on Edgar’s back had all disappeared, the entire back was burned, and his body had no life force. Looking at this Edgar, Shu Shu was scared, and his eyes reddened.


"We landed on some planet!" Jones also came out. Looking at everything around him, he was somewhat amazed, and then he turned toward Edgar. "Edgar protected the lifepod when it was entering the atmosphere, did he? He . . ." When an asteroid as big as a mountain was pulled by the planet’s gravity and streaked through the atmosphere and then fell to the ground, what remained after the friction with the atmosphere was a fist-sized meteorite. Edgar was fine, right?


"How is Edgar?" Ian also looked at Edgar.


"I'll take a look." Jones said and quickly came to Edgar's side.


Edgar was heavily injured and had completely lost consciousness. Not only that, but . . . .


"Edgar's beast core is gone." Jones could sense that Edgar’s body no longer had some scents that beastmen should have, and his mood was very low. The last time Edgar became a fallen beast, he was already very lucky. This time, his beast core was actually gone. Later on . . . .


"He’s still alive, right?" Shu Shu asked. Contrary to what one might expect, he did not care one bit about the beast core; it was already good as long as Edgar was alive.


"Still alive." Jones replied, but he did not say that although Edgar was still breathing, but in the current situation, it would be difficult for Edgar to survive.



When some people had conspired to murder Edgar then, he had not died. This time, there would definitely be no problem as well! Jones ultimately could only cheer himself up like this.


Hearing that Edgar was still alive, Shu Shu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then a burst of exhaustion rushed forth, and the whole person suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.


"Shu Shu!" Ian cried out anxiously. He wanted to go up and take a look but was stopped by Jones. "Let him rest for a while."


They were secured in the lifepod before and did not receive any blows. But after Edgar climbed out, Shu Shu began to send spiritual power into them and Edgar and did not secure himself again. Not to say that his body now was black and blue from being knocked around, but he had also been sore since earlier. It was best to let him take a rest now while they took a look at what they had brought.


As far as the eye could see, this place was a rock desert and had no green vegetation at all. Although they could still breathe the air here, but obviously, this place was not very suitable for them to live. How they were going to survive next was indeed a huge problem for them.


Shu Shu was unconscious for about an hour. When he woke up, he was still lying in the same place. The lifepod nearby, however, had been thoroughly unloaded. He and Edgar were covered with a thin blanket, concealing his naked body.


The previous situation was so dire from the beginning that he had no time to put some clothes on himself.


Shu Shu sighed and sat up.


He hurt from head to foot, but now that he did not have Edgar caring about him, he could only bear all the pain. He then went to see the motionless big snake at his side.


The big snake was badly burnt. He no longer resembled a snake but more like a grilled sausage and even really smelled like it . . . . Shu Shu laughed bitterly. Feeling that his spiritual power had recovered a bit, he immediately sent all of his spiritual power into Edgar’s body.


"Edgar will definitely be fine." Ian said.


Shu Shu, hearing Ian’s words, saw Ian sitting there with cracked lips and showing a soothing smile to him.


Ian’s smile made Shu Shu much composed. He nodded to Ian and showed a smile too. “Yeah, Edgar will definitely be fine. He still has to see the child being born!”


After saying so, Shu Shu once again went to check on Edgar, who did not make any movement or sound at all, and did not even notice Ian and Jones’ sad expressions.


"Shu Shu. Is the child . . ." Ian suddenly said and then covered his eyes with both hands and started to cry bitterly.


"What?" Shu Shu stared blankly; his brain somewhat wasn’t working at this moment. After watching Ian cry for a while, he finally realized that Ian should be worrying about the child having met with a mishap. "The child’s fine."


"I didn't find the child in the lifepod, and Jones said that you’re naked when you went to save him. The child . . ." Ian looked at Shu Shu with a complicated expression. Not to mention that Shu Shu had gone to save people stark naked, he was still naked now, so that people could see all kinds of wounds that resulted from the collision on his white and tender body.


"The child’s really fine." Shu Shu said. He was also worried that it would be bad for the health if the child stayed in the subspace for a long time, so he covered up his mouth with two hands and opened his mouth . . . .


Ian and Jones did not see clearly what exactly Shu Shu did, but they suddenly found that there was an egg on Shu Shu’s hands.


It was the child! The child was really fine!


Ian looked at Shu Shu, pleasantly surprised, and got up to touch the egg. He did not bother to investigate where exactly Shu Shu had hidden the child before.


"It’s really great that we’re all fine." Jones said as he handed his outer clothes to Shu Shu. "Shu Shu, you put on my clothes, OK? Don't refuse."


Having been a human for a long time, Shu Shu also felt a bit uncomfortable being naked. He immediately handed over the egg to Ian and then put on the clothes.


While Shu Shu put on the clothes, Ian and Jones were staring at the egg in Ian’s arms in wonder. However, they were only happy for a moment before their faces became ugly again.


When Shu Shu was unconscious, they looked around the area. This place had no vegetation at all, not to say water source. In this case, how would they survive?


The child was fine, and Edgar was still breathing now, but if they continued like this, sooner or later, they all would die of starvation and thirst.


Shu Shu, wearing Jones' clothes on his body, saw Ian and Jones sitting together with somber expressions. Thinking that the two men had not eaten anything before, Shu Shu immediately asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”


“We’re not hungry.” Ian said, forcing a smile. Even if they were hungry, they also did not have anything to eat.


"Even if you’re not hungry, you also must eat a little. When you’re full, you’ll have strength." Shu Shu said. He really felt very uncomfortable and very wrong letting Edgar casually lie on the ground like this. This place was windy and full of dust, and the sun also shone very bright. He definitely couldn’t let Edgar keep going like this . . . . He had to dig a hole for Edgar.


Only after he was full, would he have the strength to dig a hole . . . . Thinking so, Shu Shu opened his mouth and began to take out all kinds of foods.


Ian and Jones were just thinking about how they were going to find something to eat when they suddenly discovered that a big pile of food had appeared in front of them!


Author’s note: Shu Shu’s mouth leads to a different dimension, ah!


TL's note: I'll be out of town for a few days, so the next update will be pushed back to Friday, July 5.
