Chapter 129
129. Husbands’ Travel Note
After Edgar abdicated, he wanted to take Shu Shu to travel everywhere.
After Ludwig got married, he wanted to take Gary on a trip.
However . . . because Gary suddenly got pregnant, their trip was delayed. It was not until their three children reached two years old that this matter was finally put on the agenda. In addition, Ludwig and Gary decided to go on a trip together with Shu Shu and Edgar. As for Myer and Calvin . . . .
Their son ran away, so they could only stay behind to work and look after their grandsons.
Of course, they did so also because they were no longer interested in running around. They ran all over the place when they were young, spending less time together and more time apart, so now they wanted to live a peaceful life together.
And there were also people who could not go, such as Fred and his partner . . . . As the emperor and empress, it was not so convenient for them to travel afar. Anyway . . . this time Edgar and others chose a very common way of traveling.
Before starting the trip, everyone thought it was too boring to go on a trip in a private ship like in the past, so they simply changed to another style and decided to take a tourist spaceship to Gass Planet and enjoy an ordinary tour like those ordinary people.
Shu Shu was very curious about ordinary people's lives, and Edgar listened to him completely. Ludwig was very adventurous, and Gary did not care about it . . . . So the travel plan was set.
They joined a tour group called "Little Stars", which was booked by Shu Shu online.
"It's been more than thirty years . . . . I really want to see what Gass Planet has become now." Sitting in the family cabin of the spaceship, Shu Shu was very excited.
The destination of their trip this time was Gass Planet where he and Edgar met. He had never been back since he left there . . . .
Having been living very well in the capital star, Shu Shu did not reminisce about Gass Planet, but now that he was going there, he remembered more and more of the goodness of Gass Planet and even missed his life on Gass Planet back then.
"Mother, Gass Planet has become very beautiful now, and it’s also been connected to the star network and become a lot more developed." Gary said. When he was a child, Chris and Ian had once brought him to live on Gass Planet for a period of time.
"Really?" Shu Shu was a little happy and went to see Edgar again. "Big Snake, I wonder if the cave I dug is still there . . ."
"It's still there," Edgar stated affirmatively.
"Really?" Shu Shu looked pleasantly surprised.
Edgar said nothing. Of course it was true. How could he not protect the place where he and Shu Shu first met?
"Big Snake, you’ve been following me secretly back then, and you even picked up and brought my skirt back . . ." Shu Shu said again, looking full of emotion.
Gary and Ludwig both looked down and lowered their heads, acting like they did not exist.
Edgar carried Shu Shu into the sleeping cabin on the side and locked the sleeping cabin without the slightest hesitation.
However, before long, a broadcast echoed across the spaceship—it was time for lunch.
This spaceship was chartered by Little Stars Tour Group. Except for the crew members, the people on the spaceship were all tourists who joined the tour, and everyone’s meals were eaten together.
Gary and Ludwig were about to go out after hearing the broadcast and then saw Edgar and Shu Shu come out of the sleeping cabin, and Shu Shu's mouth was still a little red.
Gary suddenly felt that he was abused by his mother and father . . . .
There were so many people in the dining hall. All tourists were entitled to a set meal of the tour group, but if you wanted to eat something good, you could only spend your own money to buy it.
And the set meal of the Little Stars Tour Group did not taste very good . . . .
"Damn! It's indeed a cheaply-priced tour group; the set meal’s actually nutrition paste and a side dish!" Someone complained and asked about the price of barbecue. In the end, they could only grit their teeth and buy a portion of barbecue at five times the market price. Afterwards, they ate it while complaining about the bad taste.
Edgar and Ludwig had gone to collect the set meal. They had stayed in the military and used to eat worse when they were on urgent missions. They could completely accept it, but they were worried that Shu Shu and Gary would not be able to accept it. "What do you want to eat? We’ll go buy it."
"No need." Shu Shu refused. Could there be anything delicious on this little spaceship? There was certainly nothing as delicious as what he stored in his food pouches.
Shu Shu surreptitiously took out some food from his food pouches and began to eat just like that.
Gary glanced at his mother and then did the same thing indifferently.
Edgar and Ludwig, seeing them like this, silently ate the set meal.
Gary sympathized with Ludwig a little and took out a few packets of barbecue for him. At the same time, he happened to see Shu Shu stuff a chestnut into Edgar’s mouth.
"I picked these chestnuts on Gass Planet back then. I’ve been keeping them because I’m unwilling to eat them up." Shu Shu said, not saying that he had actually forgotten about them . . . . He had taken out these chestnuts on Fallen Beast Planet before, but they were useless after Reynolds came, so he stuffed them back into his food pouches and forgot about them after a long time.
Edgar knew Shu Shu's bad habits and could guess the truth. He could not help but smile. "Wait until we get to Gass Planet; I’ll accompany you to pick chestnuts."
"Okay." Shu Shu showed a big smile towards Edgar.
On this trip, Shu Shu and others all disguised themselves, but they did not change much.
Take Shu Shu, for example. He put on fake ears and made fine adjustments to his face, but he still resembled his original self six to seven points.
Given that he had remained young, he now looked like a young adult. Although he was not particularly beautiful, he was still a delicate and cute sub-beastman.
And he looked better when he smiled.
There was a group of university student beastmen in this tour group, and they were stunned.
"That sub-beastman’s so beautiful!"
"Shall we go over and talk to him?"
"But there’s a beastman beside him . . ."
"That beastman’s eating a set meal, which means that he has no money . . ."
. . . . . .
A group of young beastmen, you pushed me, and I squeezed you. In the end, the most outstanding beastman came before Shu Shu. "Hello, are you traveling to Gass Planet?"
Striking up such a conversation was actually a bit funny. Wasn’t everyone here traveling to Gass Planet? Gary was too lazy to ridicule them, but Shu Shu unexpectedly smiled and said, "Yeah!"
"We’re in one tour group; it's really a coincidence. We’d like to invite you to eat." The beastman said again.
"And your friend." Another young beastman said. He saw Gary whom was sitting across from Shu Shu.
These young beastmen in their twenties were eager to show their age everywhere, each and every one of them brimming with youth. Edgar's face slowly darkened as he watched them chatting up his sub-beastman.
"No need." Shu Shu refused these people whom offered him food. The food in his own food pouches was much more delicious than the food on the spaceship.
"Don't worry, we bring enough money." The student who spoke to Shu Shu immediately said.
"Yeah, allow us to invite you to eat, okay!" The student next to him also said.
What does it have to do with me if you bring money? I also bring money, ah . . . . Shu Shu frowned and glared at the person in front of him—he did not like these people; how could he secretly take out something to eat if they stood here?
"Don't worry, we bring enough food." Edgar said at this time. He blandly swept his eyes over these people and then took out several special fresh-keeping boxes packed with food from the space button.
Fresh-keeping boxes were not something rare in the Beastman Empire, but was it possible that the fresh-keeping boxes Edgar took out were ordinary ones?
Well, it might be true. Considering that Shu Shu often liked to shop online, there were countless cheap products in the imperial palace nowadays. However, Edgar had his assistant prepare these food boxes instead of letting Shu Shu prepare them.
It was clearly impossible for a Retired Emperor’s assistant to prepare a bunch of cheap products for Edgar, a Retired Emperor, so the fresh-keeping boxes he took out now was a famous brand among fresh-keeping boxes. The price of a box was enough for a table of people to eat in an eight-star restaurant in the capital star. And although the food sold on this tourist spaceship was expensive, the price was never comparable to that of the eight-star restaurant in the capital star.
Edgar pressed a fresh-keeping box, and it opened. Then the mechanical arm installed inside took out a plate and placed it on the table. The dish on the plate exuded a mouthwatering aroma, and you just knew at a glance that the price was definitely considerable.
"This is the signature dish of Kars Restaurant . . ." Among these students, the family condition of the one who stood out and struck up a conversation was pretty good, and he recognized at a glance that it was a signature dish of a certain chef in the capital star that could not be necessarily obtained even if you spent money.
The students who wanted to strike up a conversation stood by, watching Edgar open each and every fresh-keeping box and take out all kinds of delicacies one after another in utter embarrassment . . . . Their slapped faces hurt so much.
The very first student who came to strike up a conversation felt extremely aggrieved. What was the matter with these people, ah; they actually pretended to be poor when they were obviously so rich . . . .
These people were all embarrassed and had no choice but to leave in the end.
As soon as they left, Shu Shu immediately turned towards Edgar, "Hey, didn't you say that we’re going on a trip like ordinary people? Why did you bring so many things?"
"You don't like it?" Edgar asked.
"I like it!" Shu Shu gritted his teeth and began to eat the delicious food.
Gary also began to eat without the slightest hesitation. As for the people around . . . . Now everyone around was watching them in amazement—what's the matter with these four people, ah! It was obviously the rich yet still came to join this tour group!
The official space routes of the Beastman Empire were very safe. The spaceship smoothly reached Gass Planet after undergoing two replenishments halfway through.
Compared with Shu Shu's memory, the current Gass Planet had changed a lot. To say the least, there were many more skyscrapers here now. Of course, in order to protect the environment of Gass Planet, these skyscrapers were fully planted with plants, and they looked like tall green mountains, which were very beautiful.
Shu Shu looked at everything in front of him in surprise, while Gary was in a very good mood. Chris and Ian lived here, and he missed his grandfather and grandmother very much.
Of course, they would first go with the tour group to visit the famous attractions of Gass Planet as well as the more famous . . . Edgar and Shu Shu's love spots.
Gass Planet was very, very beautiful. Shu Shu had not had much fun back then, but this time he had fun and enjoyed himself to the full. Unfortunately, there would inevitably be some places that made him feel speechless.
For example, their entire tour group was brought before a big pit, and then they heard the tour guide introducing the place, "Everyone, the place we’re now is the place where His Imperial Majesty Edgar, who’s still the crown prince at that time, awakened his bloodline. Here, His Imperial Majesty Edgar awakened his bloodline and became incomparably powerful . . ."
Wasn't this the place where they had been struck by lightning . . . . What was so good about it? It was really boring!
As a result . . . . When the entire tour group came to the forest, the tour guide actually pointed to a very beautiful cave and said, "Here’s the place where His Imperial Majesty Edgar and His Imperial Highness Shu Shu once lived . . ."
Shu Shu was shocked. When had he lived in such a place? Although this cave was not very far from the cave he dug with his own hands, he had basically never been here, ah . . . . Moreover, from which lanes and alleys did he obtain such a beautiful cave, ah! Just look at this cave, and you would know that it was built by construction robots!
"Gass Planet is rich in chestnuts. It’s Empress Shu Shu’s favorite food back then. Everyone who comes to Gass Planet should buy some and bring it back home . . ." The tour guide once again made an introduction and then began to sell chestnuts.
Shu Shu: ". . ."
"What’s over there?" A tourist suddenly pointed to the tall perimeter walls in the distance and asked.
"It’s a manor there, which is said to belong to the imperial family." The tour guide immediately replied. "The manor will be partly open to tourists. I’ll bring you there to take a look later . . ."
Hearing the tour guide’s words, Shu Shu and others also turned their gazes towards the manor, which was indeed a manor belonging to the imperial family. Not only that, but the cave where Shu Shu and Edgar had once lived was actually there.
When the tour guide brought the tour group to visit the surrounding area of the manor, Edgar and others applied to leave the tour group.
They left the tour group and entered the manor.
That group of students had been secretly paying attention to Edgar and others, so when they saw them leave the tour group, they stealthily followed them up. As a result, they happened to see them entering the manor.
Wasn't that the imperial family’s manor? How could they get in?
After leaving the tour group, Shu Shu no longer cared about the tour group. Together with Edgar, he went to the cave where they had actually lived.
Someone here had maintained this cave over the years, but even so, the cave still looked very shabby.
Going into the bedroom he dug out back then, Shu Shu was very emotional. "At that time, I was particularly afraid of you. I was afraid that you’d eat me."
"I really wanted to eat you at that time." Edgar suddenly said and then kissed Shu Shu on the head.
"Huh?" Shu Shu was surprised.
"I especially wanted to eat you in this place." Edgar directly threw Shu Shu down and kissed him. Back then, he thought he would never be able to be with his beloved little sub-beastman. He did not expect that Shu Shu could actually change his life, and he never expected that he could even "eat" his sub-beastman here.
Outside the cave, Gary and Ludwig stared at the stone blocking the cave and were momentarily speechless.
"Shall we go back to our room to sleep?" Ludwig suggested.
"Go!" Gary went back in large strides. He gave up going with the tour group, but now he actually missed it a little . . . .
