89. Failed Romance
After crashing onto the Fallen Beast Planet and becoming a fallen beast again, Edgar was unable to do anything for Shu Shu. Because of this, he always felt very guilty and had long pondered what to do to make Shu Shu happy . . . . A candlelight dinner seed like a pretty good idea?
He asked the chef on the spaceship to help make so delicious food. Then he ordered the soldiers from the spaceship to bring along a fallen beast who was very familiar with the environnt of the Fallen Beast Planet aboard the aircraft and go find so beautiful flowers.
The food slled so good; Shu Shu would definitely like it. As for the flowers brought back . . . .
There were not many types of plants on the Fallen Beast Planet. Most of them were ferns, so naturally, there were not many flowers. As a result, the flowers brought back were not particularly beautiful, and there were even a lot of grasses mixed in.
Edgar knew he could not be too demanding. So he did not feel dissatisfied at all when he saw these flowers and plants, and he even gave so rewards to the n who went to pick the flowers. After that, he personally arranged those flowers and plants and put them into a vase one by one.
While doing the arrangent, Edgar suddenly found that one of the grasses was a little different . . . . The spiritual power on this planet was very rich, yet the animals and plants he had seen before did not have spiritual power at all. This grass, however, was different. There was actually so faint spiritual power lingering on this grass.
A grass with spiritual power? Shu Shu would probably like it . . . . Edgar put this grass together with the most beautiful flowers and stuck them into a crystal vase placed on the table.
The little snake was already handed over to Jesse and Reynolds to be looked after. Edgar then switched on so pretty but not bright lights. Everything was ready and only lacked one tiny crucial item. Edgar began to wait for Shu Shu’s arrival under the dim lighting.
Shu Shu was stopped by Jones and the old doctor who once wanted to worship him as a teacher this afternoon. The two n pulled him and wished to discuss dicine with him.
Previously, right after studying with Jones, Shu Shu had already learned so dical knowledge, but he was simply not quick-witted enough to put it to use. He even failed to intuitively realized a lot of faults because he only relied on reading the materials. It could be said that when he talked, the words spoken were full of mistakes.
Jones was okay; he understood Shu Shu's situation and did not think it was strange. The old doctor who listened, however, was left speechless and even looked at Shu Shu with doubt—this was clearly a person who did not understand dical knowledge that even ordinary people knew; did he really have the ability to discover a thod to help the fallen beasts restore their beast cores?
The old doctor had good dical skills, but because he put all his mind on studying dicine, he seed to be rather weak in other aspects. For example, he could not conceal his own thoughts when speaking.
The doubtful expression on this man's face could even be seen by Shu Shu.
He was looked down upon . . . . Shu Shu frowned and decided that he had to show a little skill and make this doctor take a good look! However, he basically had no skill at all. He had only been in the Beastman Empire for a short ti, and when he was a hamster on the earth, he simply had no conditions to learn dicine.
Of course, he actually understood so traditional Chinese dical science because there was a lot of knowledge about concocting pills of immortality inside the red bead. However . . . the plants shown by the red bead basically didn’t exist on the Fallen Beast Planet, ah!
Shu Shu very much wanted to show off to let the man have a whole new level of respect for him. Unfortunately, he did not know a lot of things. Anxious and in a hurry, he suddenly thought of one kind of thing related to dicine that could make him look cool, which was acupuncture points and veins!
Although beastn and sub-beastn were different from humans in many places, but their physical structures were in fact about the sa. When Shu Shu helped Edgar heal and helped the fallen beasts restore their beast cores and taught Jones cultivation, he used spiritual power to probe their bodies and naturally grasped their acupuncture points . . . . Looking at the old doctor, Shu Shu snorted twice. "This is exactly the kind of dicine that I’ve learned since childhood."
"The dicine system you learned is different than mine? Could it be that what you learned is shamanic healing? I also have so understanding about shamanic healing." The old doctor said. In the ancient tis when science and technology had not developed yet, beastn who fell ill or felt uncomfortable all went to find the shamans. After science and technology had developed, many of the shamanic healing thods such as bloodletting and so on were proven to be wrong. However, so thods had been confird to be very useful, and thus such arts of healing spread and were even enhanced further by many people.
Nowadays, on so planets in the Beastman Empire, everyone still liked to look for the shamans to treat their illnesses.
“What I learned isn’t shamanic healing. The things I learned are completely different than yours.” Shu Shu looked at the doctor proudly and suddenly pointed at a certain position on the doctor's body while saying, "You try to press there. Doesn’t your body feel numb?"
The old doctor tried, and half of his body indeed felt numb.
"I told you so. You’ll feel this way because there’s an acupuncture point there!" Shu Shu stated. Then he talked about acupuncture points, mixed with a lot of miscellaneous knowledge . . . . Considering that he knew the body of beastn and sub-beastn like the back of his hand, what he said was actually clear and logical.
Of course, there was another reason why he could make those argunts, that was, these beastn and sub-beastn seed to have real talent for cultivation, to the extent that if you exerted so force on their acupuncture points, the effect would be very good. And if you used a little energy, such as weak electric current, the effect would be even better.
This ti, it was the old doctor who was unable to make sense of what he was hearing, and the doubtful look he gave Shu Shu also changed into a reverent one.
Such a look made Shu Shu's heart slowly swelled up. After giving so explanations about acupuncture points, he brought up the subject of concocting pills of immortality.
"There’re so plants that have magical effects. Long ago, there was once a beastman who had inadvertently eaten a red fruit. Afterwards, his strength increased greatly . . . . It seems that Mr. Reynolds could be so strong because of such an adventure." The old doctor said.
Jones had been listening very diligently. Having heard what was said, he nodded, "Indeed, Reynolds once fell into a cave and lived there for quite a long ti. After he ca out, his strength increased rapidly."
It could be like this, too? Shu Shu was a little stunned but also quite eager to give it a try—could it be that there was also spirit grass in this world?
"Crown Princess, the dicine system you spoke of should be a completely new system. I feel that you’re still in the exploratory stage . . . . Is this what you ca up with?" The old doctor asked.
Shu Shu very much wanted to admit it but felt embarrassed. In the end, he still gritted his teeth and denied, "No, I learned it from so materials I read."
"Crown Princess, you’re too modest." The old doctor said. He had lived for a long ti yet never heard of this subject matter. He mulled it over and guessed that the crown princess had probably discovered this acupuncture point with his innate ability . . . .
After thinking this way, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the crown princess was great. Not to ntion anything else, when they began to discuss dical knowledge, although the crown princess only had a smattering of knowledge on many subjects, but he had morized all the information!
The crown princess was really very serious in learning. If he did not understand . . . wasn't that because of his young age? Looking at Shu Shu’s appearance that seed to be sowhat reluctant, the old doctor suddenly felt that the crown princess was a little beastly.
The old doctor continued to chat with Shu Shu, and Jones also joined in. The more they chatted, the more speculative they were.
Edgar waited until the dishes were cold, but Shu Shu still had not returned. He had obviously made clear to Jones that he could only pull Shu Shu to chat for a while and should make Shu Shu return when it was ti to eat dinner!
Jones were chatting with Shu Shu and suddenly felt hungry, so he took so food out of his space button and distributed it to Shu Shu and the doctor. As they ate together, he glanced at his silenced communication device in passing.
". . ." There were a lot of ssages from Edgar on his communication device. He . . . forgot what Edgar had asked him to do . . . .
Jones abruptly stood up and snatched the biscuit in Shu Shu's hand. "Shu Shu, it's already very late. You should go back."
Shu Shu sowhat failed to understand the reason why, but after he stopped chatting, he did miss Edgar a little . . . .
The biscuit from Jones was gone, so Shu Shu took so food out of his own food pouches to eat. He ate while walking back ho.
Back to the place where he and Edgar lived, Shu Shu opened the door and at once saw a lot of tiny lights twinkling with various colors inside the house. The lights were not bright, so that the whole room looked rather dim. Surrounded by the lights, the table held a lot of food and a few bunches of flowers. The set up looked a bit like the sacrifice offering to the ancestors. And behind the table, there was a huge black snake, his two eyes gleaming in the light.
It looked so scary! Shu Shu had an urge to beat a hasty retreat.
