107. A Menacing Rival in Love, Part 2

The reception of the Princess of Kamira was held at Beast Palace.

Beast Palace was originally part of the imperial palace. Naturally, it was a very majestic palace with a long history as well as unique political significance—the emperor of the Beastman Empire at that time announced the change of the autocratic monarchy to a constitutional monarchy and formed the parliament here, and the first appointed prime minister was also inaugurated here.

Because of these reasons, the government of the Beastman Empire would often borrow this place from the imperial family to hold some activities. Elections and high-level inauguration ceremonies were all held here.

The imperial family was short of people but had lots of money, and there was no shortage of houses for them to live in. This palace was basically not used, and later, it was simply donated . . . . So now, Beast Palace no longer belonged to the imperial family and had become a symbol of the Beastman Empire.

The hall of Beast Palace was brightly lit, and even the nearby roads were bright like it was daylight. So when Edgar's aircraft stopped at the gate of Beast Palace, everyone looked over.

"Your Imperial Majesty." People from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs approached Edgar's aircraft to greet Edgar.

Edgar, however, did not go down immediately but looked at the hamster inside the paper cup filled with popcorn held in his hand. "Are you okay?"

The hamster hummed and began to stuff the popcorn into his mouth at the fastest speed.

Prior to this, Shu Shu turned into a hamster and jumped into a paper cup filled with popcorn. Afterwards, he fell in love with the feeling of lying down in the fragrant and sweet popcorn and wanted Edgar to bring the paper cup containing him to the Beast Palace so that he could eat popcorn while watching the alien princess.

However, while Edgar was willing to bring Shu Shu to Beast Palace, he was not willing to bring a paper cup loaded with popcorn to Beast Palace—others maybe would feel that the emperor was nice for bringing a "pet" to welcome the alien princess, but if he carried a bucket of movie theater popcorn which also contained a hamster that munched incessantly . . . everyone would think he had a problem, okay? He might also be accused of mistreating the animal because hamsters certainly couldn’t eat everything.

What's more, the imperial attire really didn’t match with the popcorn.

So, as soon as Edgar arrived at Beast Palace, he wanted to get the little hamster out of the paper cup. But obviously, the little hamster was not willing at all—Shu Shu hated to part with the popcorn and insisted on eating it up or at least storing it in his food pouches.

As a matter of fact, he was striving to stuff all the popcorn into his mouth.

The beast form that Shu Shu showed for the first time was much thinner than it was now. Nowadays, he had become so fat, and Edgar wondered whether it would affect his health . . . . Seeing Shu Shu stuff all the popcorn into his mouth, Edgar chuckled and put Shu Shu in the hollow of his hand.

Shu Shu's body exuded the smell of popcorn, which smelled fragrant and sweet. Edgar put Shu Shu under his nose, sniffing at him, and then stroked him.

Anyway . . . after Shu Shu became fat, stroking him really felt much better.

Edgar's attire was somewhat similar to the military uniform. Putting Shu Shu in his chest pocket, he walked off the aircraft.

People of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw at a glance a little hamster’s tiny head sticking out of the pocket of His Imperial Majesty's jacket, but they were already used to it.

His Imperial Majesty kept a hamster as a pet, which was no secret at all in the Beastman Empire—His Imperial Majesty had taken this hamster in public several times and was even photographed eating with this hamster on one occasion, causing a storm.

This time, the Princess of Kamira came suddenly, so their reception was not too solemn and ceremonious. Naturally, it did not matter if His Imperial Majesty came with his pet.

"Has the Princess of Kamira arrived?" Edgar, coming down from the aircraft, immediately asked.

"Your Imperial Majesty, they’re about two minutes away." The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied.

"Fine." Edgar responded and walked in.

Because this thing came up so suddenly, Beast Palace was not decorated much. However, it was originally a palace full of characteristics of the Beastman Empire, and sometimes, less decoration actually made it look very tasteful and not discourteous at all.

After Edgar went in, he chatted with several government officials who came over to talk and was informed that the people of the Kamira Empire had arrived.

Edgar had seen and made contact with the people of the Kamira Empire at one time, so he was not curious at all. Shu Shu, however, stuck his head out of Edgar’s pocket and opened his eyes wide in the direction of the door—space aliens were coming! He really wanted to see what they looked like!

The people of the Kamira Empire soon came in. A group of people who were mostly men and looked like the people on the earth was led by a beautiful woman wearing a huge and luxuriant skirt. The skirt was really so huge that it could practically fit in a few people.

This woman looked very similar to humans, except that her hair looked a little different because each strand was as thick as a chopstick . . . .

Wait! This was a woman! A woman!

Shu Shu suddenly realized that the princess from the Kamira Empire was a real princess. She was a woman with bosom!

Shu Shu’s previous owners were basically women, but since he came to the Beastman Empire, he had never seen any woman again . . . . Seeing a beautiful woman with a full and bulging bosom, Shu Shu was stunned.

He did not expect that there were actually women in the interstellar. If he had known about this earlier . . . . Well, even if he had known about this earlier, he reckoned he would still be with Edgar. After all, Edgar was really good to him.

However, it would be better if Edgar was not a snake and a woman instead . . . . He always wanted to touch a woman’s chest and wondered whether it was really as soft as written in the books.

Edgar was totally unaware that Shu Shu looked down on his very flat chest. After seeing the Princess of Kamira, he bid her welcome in Kamira language.

"Hello to you too, Your Respected Imperial Majesty of the Beastman Empire." The princess, lifting her particularly voluminous skirt that still dragged on the floor, bowed to Edgar and then looked at Edgar with great interest. "I didn't expect the Emperor of the Beastman Empire to be so young. It truly makes people surprised."

The princess spoke the language of the Beastman Empire and quite standard too, so Edgar replied in the language of the Beastman Empire. "I also admire the beauty of the princess."

"Your Imperial Majesty thinks I'm pretty?" The princess' eyes lit up, her gaze firmly locked on Edgar's face, and she suddenly said, "I wonder if I have the honor to spend a night together with Your Imperial Majesty?"

Spend a night together? Did he understand it right? Edgar frowned. The people of the Kamira Empire were divided into two types, female and male. The males’ outward appearance was similar to the human form of the beastmen of the Beastman Empire, and they were usually taciturn. The ones Edgar had met before were all males, so that he was now unsure whether this female was really very enthusiastic and brazen or he had misunderstood the other party's meaning.

"What did the princess mean?" Edgar asked quickly with a smile. The people of Kamira were nocturnal. He thought there should be a language difference between the two parties that made the other person say such words as "spend a night together".

"I’m speaking in your language. Don't you understand?" The princess frowned. "What I said should be clear enough . . . . Emperor of the Beastman Empire, my name is Elena, one of the most powerful females of Kamira. I want to have sex with you, do you agree? ”

Elena looked at Edgar expectantly. Edgar's eyes twitched, and he quickly covered his clothes pocket with his hand and directly refused, "I don't agree."

"Why? Didn't you say I'm pretty?" Elena looked at Edgar in puzzlement, apparently not understanding why Edgar would refuse her.

"I already have a partner." Edgar said. As he was talking, he noticed that his hand covering his pocket was bitten, and his fingers felt limp and numb. Obviously, Shu Shu was using his fingers to grind his teeth . . . .

His skin was very hard, so it had to hurt Shu Shu's teeth instead . . . .

"I don't mind." Elena expressed.

I mind! Shu Shu was already beyond angry. If it were not for Edgar holding him back, he believed he would have run out of Edgar's pocket and clawed the woman in front of him a few times. This woman actually dared to covet his man; it was simply unforgivable!

How could he think this woman was pretty before? This woman was clearly an ugly bitch! Humph! Edgar would definitely not like a woman who looked different from the sub-beastmen!

"I’m sorry, but the social customs of the Beastman Empire and the Kamira Empire are different, and we’ll be loyal to our partners." Edgar said. He knew some of the social customs of the Kamira Empire. The females there would usually choose many different males to have children with. In this respect, the Kamira Empire was entirely different from the Beastman Empire.

"That's really a pity . . ." Elena looked regretful. "You’re very good-looking. I really like you."

"I only like my partner." Edgar replied. Not to say that he only liked Shu Shu, even if he wanted to like others, it was impossible for him to like Kamira's females . . . . Kamira's females really looked very weird. By comparison, their males were still a bit more attractive.

He originally thought that only the heads and legs of the females looked weird; he did not expect that even their chests would swell up . . . .

Shu Shu was totally unaware that the soft breasts of women he was very curious about and wanted to touch would be considered as looking monstrously swollen by Edgar. He was actually very happy at the moment. Edgar's public confession made him feel a little guilty toward Edgar, though—he was actually thinking about touching others, which was very inappropriate!

The little hamster licked Edgar's fingers flatteringly, and his black and clear eyes looked as bright as the full moon.

"What's this? Are you carrying a late-night snack?" Elena’s gaze moved away from Edgar's face and fell on the little hamster in Edgar's pocket, and she actually reached out to grab it.

A late-night snack? Kamira's people seemed to like "eating" living animals . . . . Edgar quickly took a step back while protecting Shu Shu in his pocket with his hands, for fear that Shu Shu might be hurt—the people of the Kamira Empire, especially the females, were very bloodthirsty.

"Your speed’s so fast!" After Elena's extended hand was avoided by Edgar, she was not angry at all and looked at Edgar with great interest instead.

Her skirt was huge, but it hardly affected her mobility. Her figure flashed past and instantly appeared in front of Edgar, grabbing Shu Shu in Edgar's pocket.

"Princess Elena, please stop!" Edgar evaded again, his face a little unsightly.

However, Elena simply had no intent to stay out of it. Her huge skirt swayed, and she moved to another position at lightning speed and once again reached out a hand to grab Shu Shu.

Edgar had dodged and let her go twice. Seeing this situation, he refused to dodge again and immediately reached out and caught Elena’s hand. His spiritual power poured into Elena’s arm, making her arm numb for a moment, and at the same time, Edgar threw her out.

How could a proper welcome banquet for the Kamira Empire turn into this? The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Beastman Empire was stunned, looking at the current situation helplessly. He frowned, thinking of negotiating with Elena. Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, he actually saw this princess being treated ruthlessly by the emperor as the emperor's eyes blazed with anger. Meanwhile, the princess also picked up her skirt . . . .

Oh, crap! The Minister of Foreign Affairs opened his eyes wide in horror. There’re sub-beastmen at the banquet; don’t scare them off, ah!

What the hell was this woman thinking, ah?! Shu Shu, nesting in Edgar’s pocket, covered his eyes with his paws—lifting her skirt and what not at a banquet, she was simply playing rogue . . . . She would not think of seducing Edgar like this, right?

Shu Shu covered his eyes in a way that said “I definitely wouldn’t look”, yet the gaps between his claws were very big and did not obstruct his line of sight at all. At the same time, he was also ready to pounce on Edgar's face at any time. Edgar was simply not allowed to look at other people's bodies!

Then, Shu Shu saw the "beautiful scenery under the princess’ skirt".

What the hell was that? How could such a beautiful woman actually have lots of tentacles as thick and solid as his arm instead of a pair of legs under her skirt?

The little hamster's mouth opened up slightly in stupefaction. Was this . . . an octopus spirit?

That's right, this Princess Elena had no legs. Moving to and fro under the huge skirt were densely packed tentacles. These tentacles were somewhat similar to the squid arms that Shu Shu liked to eat. After the skirt was lifted, these tentacles spread out, making threatening gestures.

"It's much more comfortable now." Elena said. However, the people of the Beastman Empire around her spontaneously drew back in concert, getting out of the way and giving her enough space to stretch her legs.
