A Guide to Raising your Natural Enemy

chapter 28

28. It's Time to Advance the Cultivation

Gass planet was vast, but sparsely populated, so they had construction robots that helped building houses. The people generally lived in detached villas, and naturally, Jones also prepared a villa for Edgar and Shu Shu.

On the ground floor of the two-story small building, there were a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, and a guest bedroom. Upstairs, there were two bedrooms and a study plus a quite large terrace. At this moment, Shu Shu was bringing Edgar to the terrace: "Come, let's start cultivating!"

Edgar began to cultivate. He had just cultivated for a while when he felt the area where he had lost the scales before started to itch again.

What exactly was going on?

Cultivating was advantageous to him. He was very sure about this point. It was just . . . why would he feel itchy? Why had his scales fallen off as a result of cultivating?

Edgar couldn't concentrate on cultivating because of his physical condition. In the end, he barely opened his eyes when he saw that the little sub-beastman was staring at him.

Shu Shu originally wanted to cultivate together with the huge snake, but he was now stuck on a level where he could not go up or go down. Not to mention that the spiritual power within his body was only a little. He basically couldn't cultivate, so he simply stared at the disciple beside him, watching it continuously. 　　
Discovering that the disciple was not cultivating, he urged it repeatedly: "Cultivate, ah. Hurry up and cultivate!"

Edgar looked at the little sub-beastman and, enduring the continuing itch, started to cultivate again. He and the little sub-beastman did not spend much time interacting, so he didn't want to refuse the little sub-beastman's request.

Shu Shu saw how the huge snake worked hard and nodded with satisfaction. When the huge snake became a human, they would be able to stay together forever!

Thinking about those things, Shu Shu became a little sleepy. He said a few more words and had the huge snake work hard cultivating. Nevertheless, he himself went to the bedroom and slept.

A human bed was really so comfortable to sleep on, so soft. It was truly many times better than the bed he had made himself . . . .
　　
Edgar cultivated for one night and felt that his strength had recovered some more, even if his body still itched. The stream of so-called energy within his body became even more abundant, looking like it was going to overflow.

This energy had initially been gas-like, and now it became watery. It would probably become solid afterwards, right? It was a pity that he did not know whether this thing also had other uses apart from healing.

Later, when he lived alone in the forest, he might actually try to study the usefulness of this thing to pass the time.

After Edgar circulated the spiritual power within his body once, he saw the little sub-beastman dazedly come out of the room with eyes closed, inhaling through the nose and walking over to his side.

Edgar stayed stock-still in the same place, wanting to see if the little sub-beastman would run into his arms . . . . Well, he had no arms now, so the little sub-beastman would only walk to his side and get close to him. 　

However, things obviously would not be so wonderful. The little sub-beastman barely walked a few steps before waking up. He looked around in alarm, paused, and then ran back to his room.

After a while, the properly-dressed little sub-beastman ran out again and arrived in from of him: "Let me take a look at your cultivation!"

Edgar obediently let the little sub-beastman check his condition. He moved his body in passing to block the area with the missing scales.
