Jones was indeed pregnant.

When Shu Shu was pregnant, he had no troubles at all, but Jones was exactly the opposite. Although he got pregnant at an older age, his health was actually very good, and there was Shu Shu who helped take care of his health with spiritual power, but even so, he was still very uncomfortable.

He was very, very tired every day, and the physical exhaustion would also make his mood unstable, so he could not help but keep getting angry with people . . . . Of course, this "people" referred specifically to Reynolds.

Jones could still restrain himself in front of outsiders; only in front of Reynolds would he completely let himself go. And with regards to all this, Reynolds endured the hards.h.i.+p gladly.

Jones was pregnant with his child; he had a child! This news alone already made Reynolds so excited he was unable to sleep in addition to turning him into an invincible silly dad. Nowadays, let alone Jones getting angry with him, even if Jones beat him up, he could still ask Jones in return whether his hand hurt or not.

And this operation would often make Jones' anger deflate all at once like a balloon pierced by a nail.

In the initial stage of pregnancy, Jones was very miserable because of fatigue and hormonal changes, but after a month, his condition gradually improved. Not only did he not feel sick when he saw Reynolds, he even liked him more and more. In fact, the level of sweetness between these two men directly increased a step higher.

By this time, they had boarded the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p back to the capital star.

Pregnant sub-beastmen were actually unsuitable to take s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps, but Reynolds did not feel rea.s.sured with Jones giving birth on Fallen Beast Planet, and Shu Shu also guaranteed that Jones would absolutely not meet with a mishap during the journey, so everyone left Fallen Beast Planet together.

The fallen beasts whose beast cores had been restored by Edgar were divided into several cargo s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps and sent to other planets one by one. Among them, those who had innate skills and abilities basically received Edgar's invitation to join and work in the imperial family’s industries. Even to those very ordinary beastmen, the imperial family also expressed that they could join the Imperial Fleet as long as they wished or get the jobs they wanted and were qualified for in the imperial family’s industries.

The vast majority of the fallen beasts agreed. A small number of them who did not agree were either wealthy and did not need to work for others or had been injured or were too old and no longer suitable to work for others.

Edgar was very satisfied with this. In this way, the scales he fed to the fallen beasts were ultimately not wasted.

Of course, the greatest benefit he and Shu Shu got from helping these fallen beasts to restore their beast cores did not really come from these people’s reciprocation.

The news about Fallen Beast Planet had been circulating in the capital star for more than a year. Those beastmen who had gone to Fallen Beast Planet for adventure or to visit their families had also shot a lot of videos and pictures of Fallen Beast Planet and then brought them back to the capital star to be posted on the star network.

Although Fallen Beast Planet was very far away from the capital star, the beastmen and sub-beastmen of the capital star as well as the majority of population of the Beastman Empire on several residential stars near the capital star had seen the changes of those fallen beasts with their own eyes.

The fallen beast problem that had plagued the Beastman Empire for countless years was solved by the crown prince and the crown princess!

Once a beastman became a fallen beast, his life was ruined. Under all kinds of accidents, inevitably, there would always be some beastmen who had a problem with their beast cores and eventually become fallen beasts.

Beastmen had always dreaded this, and sub-beastmen had always been very scared of this. But now they did not need to worry about it.

As long as it was a fallen beast who had not broken the law, his beast core could be restored, and he could become a beastman again! And this was all due to the crown prince couple.

Edgar himself was deeply loved and respected by the people of the Beastman Empire, and now he had become an idol for everyone. After everyone found out that Shu Shu, the crown princess whom many people previously thought of as unqualified, never left Edgar and personally took care of him even after seeing him become a fallen beast and then developed a method to help the fallen beasts to restore their beast cores, they accepted him completely and also loved and respected him very much.

There were many sub-beastmen who directly regarded him as an idol.

Now, after finding out that the crown prince and the crown princess were coming back from Fallen Beast Planet, there was a great celebration on the star network. Numerous beastmen and sub-beastmen stepped out of the house, wanting to welcome the crown prince and the crown princess who had been wandering outside for more than a year.

"His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince is coming back!"

"When His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince returned last time, the scene was already very big. I didn't expect that this time would be even bigger."

"It’s more than that. The people who came out this time were directly dozens of times more than the last time! And then . . . all were blocked back."

"Blocked back +1. I wanted to see the crown prince, and as a result, I’ve just walked to the main street, and they wouldn’t let me pa.s.s."

"I wanted to see the big prince and the little prince, but I couldn't see them TT."

. . . . . .

As countless people expressed their regrets on the star network, Edgar and Shu Shu quietly returned to the imperial palace.

The reasons why Edgar returned with great fanfare last time were in order to let the ma.s.ses know that his body was fine, calm down the rumors, and suppress various parties in power who began to stir. But now, it was basically unnecessary for them to do so.

Edgar, hugging his two children and leading Shu Shu, un.o.btrusively returned to the imperial palace. He originally thought that Chris and Ian would prepare a table of food and quietly wait for them like when he and Shu Shu returned from Ga.s.s Planet last time. But unexpectedly, the imperial palace was bustling with noise and excitement because a banquet was being held inside.

Didn't Ian and Chris always find it very troublesome to hold a banquet? Why did they suddenly hold a banquet today? And even decorate the imperial palace so brilliantly? Edgar took a quick look at the imperial palace that appeared changed beyond recognition and looked exceptionally beautiful, and he was a bit puzzled.

But before he had the chance to ask his parents, Ian already came with a few guards. "Edgar, Shu Shu, you've finally arrived."

"Mother." Edgar and Shu Shu greeted Ian, and the two children also called out, "Grandmother."

"Hey, clever babies!" A smile blossomed on Ian’s face as he looked at his two grandsons. He already knew that his little grandson was exactly the same as Shu Shu. Although the little grandson was said to be a beastman to the outside world, he just couldn’t treat him as a beastman completely. He stepped forward and said, "You should go change clothes quickly and then follow us to meet people. Let others know the two children."

Hearing Ian say this, Edgar finally understood why they would hold a banquet right now. The intention was to introduce the little snake and the little hamster to people from all walks of life in the capital star.

These two children were the long-awaited third generation of the imperial family, and they should really make a point of introducing them to others.

Edgar and Shu Shu changed into luxurious dresses, and the two children also changed into well-fitted little dresses. They each led one child and came to the banquet.

As soon as they arrived on the scene, they unsurprisingly attracted everyone's attention.

When Shu Shu had just come to the capital star and attended a banquet for the first time, many people actually didn’t take Shu Shu seriously, even if they did not show it conspicuously. Now, though, no one dared to look down on him.

Not only did n.o.body dare to look down on Shu Shu, some even thought that Edgar was lucky to find such a sub-beastman.

A sub-beastman who did not leave after his beastman had become a fallen beast and even developed a method to help the fallen beasts to restore their beast cores, who would not want him? Not to mention that this sub-beastman had given birth to two children in less than two years!

The number of people in the imperial family had always been spa.r.s.e, but this time . . . . If the crown prince did not use contraception, wouldn’t he and the crown princess be able to produce a team effortlessly? Maybe they could even produce two teams to play against each other . . . .

The Crown Prince was really too enviable!

The two little princes were really so cute!

People looked at the two little princes with a kind smile on their faces, which made Shu Shu and the two children, who were initially a little unaccustomed to such an occasion, quickly adapt to the gazes of the people around them. However, he and Edgar did not know that the imperial family suddenly issued a statement on the star network at this moment.

His Imperial Majesty the Emperor suddenly stated on the star network that he would abdicate and hand over the throne to Crown Prince Edgar.

People who attended the banquet did not know about the news on the star network, but they soon learned about it.

Chris was dressed up very das.h.i.+ngly at present. He introduced his two grandchildren to people, praised Edgar and Shu Shu, and then changed the topic. He suddenly said that he was already old, and that the disappearance of the empress had made some of his old illnesses worsen and in need of rehabilitation, so he would hand over the throne as well as the property belonging to the imperial family to Edgar to manage. As for himself, he intended to retire early.

Shu Shu did not feel anything when he suddenly heard this, but Edgar immediately understood clearly that he was entrapped by his father.

He was still young and had just gotten married not long ago, and he also wanted to accompany Shu Shu to play around!

He already made some future plans and had even read the travel guide, but now all of his plans fell through.

Chris made this decision so suddenly and announced it directly in a public place with numerous people, making Edgar unable to refuse. He felt a little aggrieved, but unfortunately, people around him still congratulated him . . . .

Edgar accepted all the congratulations with a blank face.

"Edgar, this time it's really a bit sudden, but I hope you can understand." Chris said to his son. "I've been busy for decades, and now I really can’t bear it anymore."

Chris looked very spirited today, but his eyes showed a deep fatigue. Seeing his father like this, Edgar's unwillingness dissipated in a flash, and he actually felt guilty toward his father.

"You’ve grown up, and I believe you can do better than me." Chris continued.

Edgar nodded, "I’ll definitely not let you down, Father."

"I know." Chris stated with gratification and patted Edgar's shoulder. "I know the burden is a bit heavy, and it’ll tie you down, but you have two children. In another twenty or thirty years, Xiao Bao will grow up.”

His father meant . . . in another twenty or thirty years, he could give the throne to Xiao Bao and then free himself? Edgar was momentarily speechless but had to admit that it was a good idea.

What made him quite depressed was that his father did it first . . . .

Emperor Chris abdicated, and Crown Prince Edgar ascended the throne. The people of the Beastman Empire accepted this matter very well. First, the current imperial family was merely symbolic, so changing emperor was really not a big deal. Second, compared to Chris, they actually liked Edgar as the emperor even more. Because in this way, Edgar, who did not like to get his pictures taken, might appear in various reports all day.

However, Edgar was not so happy.

After he ascended the throne, he had to attend all sorts of celebrations of the Beastman Empire and would always be followed by the media . . . . And that was not all because Chris also gave him all the industries belonging to the imperial family.

Without a doubt, he would be very busy in the future, very, very busy.

"Shu Shu, I'm sorry." Edgar said. He had previously promised Shu Shu to travel around, but he feared that there would not be any traveling for the time being.

"What's wrong?" Shu Shu asked in puzzlement. Edgar was very busy, but his own life these days had been very good and very comfortable being waited on by the robot . . . .

"I’ll be very busy for a very long time. I'm afraid I can't take you to play around." Edgar said.

"How long is a very long time?" Shu Shu asked.

Glancing at the little snake nearby, Edgar replied, "At least twenty years. Maybe thirty years."

"Isn't it only thirty years? It's all right." Shu Shu waved his hand. For him who had lived for hundreds of years, thirty years was really nothing.

As long as Edgar gave him good food and drink, he did not mind being kept by Edgar for a lifetime.

No, it was best if Edgar kept him for this lifetime and then continued to keep him in the next life ...

Shu Shu, mulling it over, suddenly thought of Edgar's snake form . . . . He was definitely the most amazing hamster in the world; he actually found a snake to keep him! Which ordinary hamster had this ability? Thinking of it this way, he was instantly smug.

"Shu Shu, thank you." Edgar kissed Shu Shu.

Shu Shu kissed Edgar back and suddenly remembered that besides providing food and drink, he forgot another thing Edgar had to do—as an owner, Edgar should also be responsible for making him feel good and should not like others!

Thinking so, Shu Shu's hands began to get into Edgar's clothes . . . .

Shu Shu's life was very, very comfortable. He became the empress, the t.i.tle of his two children on the star network also changed from prince to His Imperial Highness the Prince.

Anyway, the empress was feeling very mixed-up now . . . . His little son unexpectedly adapted very well to living in the snake's nest and was not one bit afraid of snakes, not to mention that he actually liked to squat down on the head of his grandfather, who had transformed into a snake, run all over the place, and then slip away to his snake-shaped older brother.

The way he strutted around . . . Shu Shu was extremely envious when he saw it!

The main text is over, but there’re still many sweet extras behind—the day-to-day after marriage, the retirement after many years, and so on. The two princes who have no name in the main text will also get a name, and I guess I’ll give Jones as well as Bruno an extra each.
