A Guide to Raising your Natural Enemy

94. Watching the Circus Show
   

Edgar and Shu Shu returned after digging the spirit stones.
   
They found a spirit stone mine on that mountain. There were not many spirit stones in it, and the spirit stones did not contain much spiritual power either, but for them, it was already a huge surprise.
   
Edgar had re-cultivated into the jīndān period. For this reason alone, compared to Shu Shu, it was much simpler for Edgar to help those fallen beasts restore their beast cores. Now that they had some spirit stones, it was even more convenient . . . . Of course, if they wanted to make good use of the spirit stones, they also needed to do some studying.
   
After returning to their place of residence, Edgar and Shu Shu took a nap first and then began to learn the formation method—this was considered to be the main way to use spirit stones.
 
Shu Shu wrote down all the information he had obtained from his red bead. He recorded them on paper one by one and studied them together with Edgar. When he came across a part he did not understand, he would either find the answer from the red bead or try it a few more times.
   
The two of them studied very seriously. Within a few days, they had learned to arrange the simplest spirit gathering formation using the spirit stones. After the first spirit gathering formation was arranged, Shu Shu immediately put the little snake and the egg in it.
   
Shu Shu was initially a bit afraid of Xiao Bao, this little snake, and he actually didn’t adapt too well to being a father. After all, the child came too sudden. But Xiao Bao always hung around at his side these days, and after taking care of Xiao Bao for a while, he slowly accepted the child . . . or the snake.
   
"Xiao Bao, when you go to sleep later, you’ll sleep here, okay?" Putting Xiao Bao into the spirit gathering formation, Shu Shu smiled and talked to the little snake, who was already doubled in size.
   
The little snake nodded while his eyes narrowed in concentration and his body started to sway, looking very, very comfortable.
   
"Does Xiao Bao like it here?" Shu Shu asked again.
   
The little snake quickly nodded.
   
"Then Xiaobao, you stay by yourself for a while first. Mother will help you make a bigger one!" Shu Shu reached out and stroked the little snake's smooth head—his child was really smart; it had not been long since he was born, and he could already understand what he said!
   
Although this child looked unattractive, but at least he was smart, ah. If he had had children with a female hamster, he probably would’ve been still worrying about how to open the children’s spiritual wisdom to prolong their life span. And now? In a few years, he would be able to make the child work and support him to live comfortably!
   
Imagining the beautiful scene of himself reclining comfortably and calling the child out when he wanted to eat something and the child obligingly coming to bring him food, Shu Shu looked at the child with a softer gaze. He forgot that, in fact, the robots could already do a good job helping him with such things.
   
Chatting with Xiao Bao, Shu Shu continued to study the formation method.
   
Strangely, Shu Shu unexpectedly learned better than Edgar when it came to the subject of formation method . . . .
   
When Edgar laid out a formation, he always couldn’t help but want to lay out the formation neat and tidy. He subconsciously had to ensure that the distance between each spirit stone was the same and study why this kind of layout could gather spiritual power together . . . .
   
Wouldn’t being so fussy lessen one’s learning speed?
 
Shu Shu, however, was different. He often laid out formations based on feeling, and in the end, he actually did better than Edgar.
   
When Shu Shu began to learn the second formation method, Edgar was still having a go at the spirit gathering formation and even failed again.
   
"Granted, the size of these spirit stones is indeed different. But even if the size is the same, the amount of spiritual power contained in them isn’t the same. It’s really too difficult to keep a balance. With great difficulty, I finally calculated the right distance between these piles of spirit stones to make a formation. But if the piles of spirit stones are changed, then I have to recalculate." Edgar stared at the spirit stones in front of him with a tangled feeling.
   
". . ." Shu Shu goggled at Edgar. He watched Edgar use the computer to simulate the formation method and draw the formation method diagram with a weird expression. "Won’t this fussing around only make it overly complicated? Also . . . according to the red bead, those cultivators can’t always lay out a formation on level ground. Sometimes they also have to lay out a formation when cultivating in the wilds. They can even lay out a formation when fighting with others. You doing it this way . . ." Totally wouldn’t cut it. In addition, you had to calculate the size of each spirit stone and the amount of spiritual power it contained first and then use a computer to figure out the appropriate placement?
   
Edgar was silent. He also knew that it was unacceptable for him to do so, but he really couldn't understand this formation arrangement stuff.
   
How could an arrangement of a few stones produce all kinds of magical effects?
   
"Try to feel it with spiritual power. Sometimes you just have to rely on feeling." Shu Shu said and then looked at Edgar proudly. "Edgar, do you think I'm amazing? I’m smarter than you!"
   
"Yes, Shu Shu’s the smartest." Edgar could not help but hug Shu Shu and kiss him on the lips.
 
Shu Shu responded enthusiastically, groping Edgar's body and trying to seduce Edgar, yet Edgar remained unmoved—Shu Shu had just given birth to a child and had also been injured before, so it was better to do things slowly.
   
"Edgar, what's wrong with you? Why don't you want to mate?" Shu Shu was somewhat depressed. Shouldn't humans and beastmen be in heat all the time?
   
"You’ve just given birth to a child . . . ."
   
"I’ve fully recovered!" Shu Shu patted his chest and then rolled his eyes. "It shouldn’t be that you can’t do it, right?" According to his experience, which came from reading various novels, a man was most afraid of others saying that he could not do it. Once he was told so, he would definitely try to prove that he “could do it”.
   
They all said that poodles would hump everything and any time. In fact, hamsters also had a very strong desire, ah! Edgar surely couldn’t ignore him!
   
Edgar was indeed unable to control himself. He embraced Shu Shu and proved himself one time.
   
He definitely had no problem! In fact, he was almost stifled to death, but it had only been a few days since Shu Shu gave birth to an egg. He always felt that he was a little too beastly for putting his hand to Shu Shu just now.
 
At the end of the fun and invigorating sex, Shu Shu exhaled comfortably. "That’s really nice . . . . I was going to touch myself if you didn't come round . . . . But touching myself doesn’t feel this nice. After all, no one gives me spiritual power if I do it myself." When Edgar entered, he never forgot to give him spiritual power. He also never forgot to take care of him first and would even give him spiritual power ahead of time . . . . It was really pleasurable!
 
Edgar: ". . ."
