53. Shu Shu Gets Drunk

  Shu Shu indeed didn't understand much about the banquet's protocols. He had to learn too many things, and in the end, there were some things he didn't have time to learn. He originally thought it didn’t matter, but now he was a little depressed and felt that he was rather useless.

  He had to study hard, and inevitably, there would be one day when he surpassed that Myer!

  If one year would not do, two years then. If ten years would not do, twenty years then. He was a daemon, and at

  stage, he could live for several hundred more years. Could Myer do it? Certainly not!

  Although the average life expectancy of the Beastman Empire was much longer than that of the Earth, but it still did not reach two hundred years!

  Moreover, he was really not inferior since he had a highly retentive memory! Thinking this way, Shu Shu was immediately brimming with confidence.

  This time, Shu Shu did not eat anything and seriously watched Ian, waiting for Ian to teach him.

  "In fact, those rules don’t mean much. If you want to learn, you can look for a virtual cabin and learn by installing a program. As for the banquet this time . . ." Ian himself was born to the poor. When he got acquainted with Chris, the military doctor would still abuse the beastman roundly, which was very rude. The first time he and Chris returned to the capital star, his situation was even worse than Shu Shu. So he was very understanding to Shu Shu and also gave Shu Shu some pointers.

  Chris, who was standing on the side, also inserted a sentence, "You don't need to go learn from others. Don't worry too much; just be yourself."

  "I’ll definitely study hard!" Shu Shu firmly stated.

  "That’s right, no one can do everything from birth. You’ve learned things very fast." Ian said.

  Shu Shu thought so too and nodded at once. "I’m also very amazing. I’ll definitely study hard and become as amazing as that Myer. No, even more amazing than him!" He had always intended to just drift along, eat, and wait for death before. But now, his way of thinking actually changed.

  Even if he was only a little hamster, he also had to build a career!

  Ian stared at Shu Shu's confident look and couldn't help but start laughing.

  Before long, the people who came to attend the banquet were all present, and Edgar also returned to the lounge.

  When Edgar went out before, Shu Shu was being upset somewhat, but now he was already fine. Seeing Edgar coming back, he was very happy. "You came back?"

  "Yeah." Edgar said. "I brought you something to eat."

  Shu Shu took a quick look and found that they were all the things he loved to eat. His mood was even better this time . . . . Well, okay, he more or less liked to eat everything.

  Shu Shu took the proffered food and started to eat. Ian, however, glared at Edgar, "Why did you go for so long?"

  "I went to the kitchen." Edgar said. Asking Myer did not result in anything, so he could only go get some food back in the end.

  Going out with a sub-beastman and not coming back for such a long time, were you not worried that Shu Shu would feel jealous? His own son left Ian speechless, but he did not have time to go educate his son right now—it’s time for them to go downstairs.

  The hall downstairs was already full of people. Everyone who came to attend the banquet had arrived. At this moment, Ian walked downstairs with Shu Shu.

  Shu Shu, bearing Ian’s words in mind, kept smiling as he followed Ian to walk forward. Although there were many slips, but there was no big mistake.

  Watching this scene from not far away, Myer’s face was very ugly. At first,

  he also thought that Edgar didn't like Shu Shu, and the result . . . .

  Everything he had done before was practically like a joke.

  "Myer, why are you hiding in the corner alone?" Calvin came over and asked, his mouth hooking up on one corner.

  "Did you already know that Edgar likes that Shu Shu?" Myer looked over, and his expression was cold.

  "Anyone who has eyes can see. That guy Edgar has always been cold as ice toward sub-beastmen. I didn’t expect that one day he’d fall head first." Calvin said, laughing.

  "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Myer's words sounded ferocious.

  "You didn't ask." Calvin replied. "And what’s the use anyway?"

  If he had known earlier . . . Myer stared blankly. Even if he had known about this matter early, everything wouldn’t have changed the slightest either.

  "I’ve already advised you long ago. If you really like Edgar, then go confess to him promptly. Otherwise, who would have imagined that you actually like him?" Calvin still had a smile on his face. "I reckon Edgar only thinks of you as a brother." Previously, that guy, Edgar, simply put all his energy into improving his strength and, as a matter of fact, had never given some thought to any sub-beastman . . . .

  And Myer? If he let go of his posturing and stopped trying too hard, he might still have hope. But unfortunately, he had never expressed his feelings at all . . . .

  However, him being like this was also excusable. Not everyone dared to express their feelings after having someone they liked. Because after breaking through that barrier, it was very likely that you wouldn’t even able to become friends . . . .

  Calvin laughed bitterly in his heart, his sight on that sub-beastman whom Ian was dragging around nearby.

  Hearing Calvin's words, Myer's body was instantly tense. Then he turned his head to look at Shu Shu.

  That person somewhat looked dejected and depressed when facing him before, but now he was actually sporting a bright and beautiful smile. Although he did not do too well in some areas, but the Imperial family had already said that he came from a remote planet, so naturally, no one would blame him.

  But he was still very ordinary, completely lacking in extraordinary attributes.

  How could Edgar like such a person?

  Shu Shu didn't notice Myer's concern for himself. After all, there were too many people who were paying attention to him now, making him have an urge to find a place to squeeze into.

  Because he had not adapted well to an occasion like this, his actions were more or less stiff. Fortunately, the problem was not big, and other people actually did not notice.

  After Ian dragged Shu Shu to make the rounds, Shu Shu did not have anything to do. Shu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and was just thinking of taking a well-deserved rest when the closed door of the banquet hall was suddenly opened. At the same time, a sub-beastman who was almost as big as Ian came in from the outside.

  His arrival attracted the attention of all people in the hall. A good deal of them wanted to go up and talk to him, but he didn't give those people a chance. Instead, he went all the way until he arrived in front of Shu Shu. "Shu Shu, I’ve already heard of you, but I was very busy before and haven’t had time to meet you. I’m really sorry.”
Shu Shu didn’t recognize this sub-beastman at all, so he looked towards Ian, and Ian immediately introduced him to the sub-beastman. “Shu Shu, this is Edgar’s uncle, the Duke of Mund’s partner, Jonathan."

  After the introduction, Ian turned towards Jonathan a little delightedly. "Jonathan, you finally returned to the capital star. How long will you stay here this time?"

  "I guess I’ll stay in the capital star for a while this time. Once that guy Calvin gets married, then I’ll leave." Jonathan said. "That stinky boy is already this old, but he only flirts all day long and doesn’t know how to find a sub-beastman to settle down. I’m worried to death about him!”
“The one in my family was about the same before, but now it’s finally all right." Ian said.

  Jonathan glanced at Shu Shu and said with a smile, "Your luck’s still good."

  Jonathan was a sub-beastman adopted by Chris' parents. At first, Ian had been jealous of Jonathan because Chris cared very much for Jonathan, but later, the misunderstanding was straightened out, and the two men also became friends. Now that they met again after a long period of separation, they would naturally have a good chat.

  "Mother, Uncle, I’m taking Shu Shu to meet some people." Edgar said to Ian and Jonathan.

  "You young people go have fun together. No need to keep us company." Ian waved his hand, giving his consent.

  In response, Edgar took Shu Shu and walked away.

  "Where are we going?" Shu Shu asked curiously.

  "We’re going to meet some of my friends." Edgar replied. Although Shu Shu was not willing to accept his pursuit, but he still intended to drag Shu Shu around to make a vow of sovereignty over Shu Shu, letting others know that Shu Shu was his . . . . Other people did not know that Shu Shu was a beastman, anyway.

  Thinking this way, Edgar took hold of Shu Shu's hand.

  Shu Shu at first didn't want to meet anyone at all, but he was pulled by Edgar, so he obediently went. However, he didn't expect that the very first people Edgar took him to meet were actually Calvin and Myer.

  "Edgar, congratulations, ah." Calvin toasted Edgar with a glass of wine and stared at Shu Shu with great interest.

  Congratulations? What congratulations? Shu Shu was somewhat puzzled, and at this moment, Edgar already opened his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense."

  "How did I talk nonsense?" Calvin replied, smiling. Only after he saw Edgar's warning eyes did he close his mouth and stop talking.

  Myer also took a glass of wine from the side and said to Shu Shu with a smile, "You’re very amazing." He actually very much wanted to say some cruel words. But, thinking that if he let out some cruel words, he would make others know that he liked Edgar, which was too humiliating, he was unable to say them.

  "Yeah, I’m very amazing!" Shu Shu nodded in approval.

  The orange drink in his hand gave off a good smell, so Shu Shu drunk a mouthful and, sure enough, found that it was very tasty. He then finished the drink in two or three gulps.

  The corner of Myer’s mouth pursed up just a tiny bit. Although it was fruit wine, but in this kind of banquet, no one would drink so much of it . . . .

  “This one’s very good to drink, ah! I haven’t seen it before.” Shu Shu said once he finished drinking. Seeing that there were a few more kinds of colors on the table next to him, he did not attend to Edgar at all. He walked past Edgar to get another cup and started to drink.

  Upon seeing this, Edgar promptly went to follow. "Shu Shu, this is wine." Although this type of wine was prepared for the sub-beastman, but it still contained some alcohol.

  "It's okay. It's just wine." Shu Shu said. There was nothing wrong with him after he drank it, so it might be assumed that it didn't matter if he drank a little.

  Shu Shu indeed looked fine. In addition, there was still the multi-purpose spiritual power . . . . Edgar didn't stop Shu Shu anymore and got a few things for him.

  He had said to Shu Shu then, as long as Shu Shu came to the capital star, he would get him lots and lots of delicious food. He naturally had to honor his promise now.

  Moreover, he liked to watch Shu Shu eat.

  Shu Shu ate some barbecues and felt thirsty, so he switched to drinking another kind of fruit wine. After that, he drank wine while eating some food.

  His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince . . . liked this type?

  Those who originally didn't take Shu Shu seriously saw that Edgar always stayed close to Shu Shu, so they immediately started to care about Shu Shu. But they were soon shocked by Shu Shu's very fast eating speed.

  His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince’s preference truly stood out from the masses . . . .

  Shu Shu had already eaten a lot before, so he actually didn’t eat that much this time and only tasted everything he hadn’t eaten yet. After having gotten a taste, he suddenly felt a little dizzy and saw the world spinning as well. Then, almost unconsciously, he slumped against Edgar.

  Was this borrowing the strength of the wine to throw yourself in someone’s arms? Almost everyone who saw this scene thought of this notion.

  Then . . . they saw His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince leaving the banquet hall very quickly with that sub-beastman.

  Well, okay, it was apparently not throwing yourself in someone’s arms. It might be that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince deliberately got the man drunk . . . .

  The banquet was more or less already underway. Holding a banquet this time was merely to introduce Shu Shu. Since the introduction had been done, it was no problem if Shu Shu left.

  Only because Edgar was aware of this would he take Shu Shu to leave. And after leaving, he was even more ecstatic of his choice to do so.

  The intoxicated Shu Shu with hazy eyes looked extremely alluring and very pretty. This Shu Shu should not be seen by others.

  Carrying Shu Shu into the aircraft, Edgar couldn't help but kiss Shu Shu on the lips.

  "Why are you kissing me?" Shu Shu suddenly asked.

  Edgar froze on the spot and found that the eyes that had been closed just now were already open.

  "I can’t give birth to children, so you musn't like me. Of course, you shouldn't kiss me either." Shu Shu regarded Edgar seriously.

  Edgar, who was caught in the act, totally felt that this speech was not quite right. When he refocused on Shu Shu, he found that Shu Shu’s eyes were closed once again.
