CH 5

Jin Suo was stunned when he saw the two big guys in front of him, thinking that they were astonished by his appearance in the uniform, which made him a little proud. He cleared his throat and smiled, "Thank you for the clothes."

Colonel Corey and Jecca were once again shaken by the golden snail's smile.

Although subbeastmen were also males, they did not have any energy core since birth, thus their bodies were also very weak. In the beast empire, where everything was judged by power, they were oftenly looked down upon, and it was difficult for them to marry females.

So, more than three hundred years ago, a master proposed a method to transform the body of the subbeastmen and made them have the ability to conceive and bear children.

Later, many families sent their subbeastman children to be transformed one after another.

Even though the fertility of the transformed subbeastman was far less than that of females, they generally still had a high value, because of their appearance that made many beastmen chose them for a partner.

The subbeastman in front of them right now looked even more beautiful than the noble sons in the Central Star. No wonder that their Marshal could do such a thing, even when he was in his beast shape and in a place like this...

Colonel Corey hurriedly recovered from his stupor and didn't dare to think too much about their Marshal's subbeastman.

Corey nodded to the golden snail, then turned his head and asked Jecca, "Have you found the Marshal?"

Jecca's expression immediately became somewhat heavy, "No, we can't even trace it anymore, the only things left are a few of Marshal's scales on the side of the quagmire, also... The Marshal's blood."

In addition to the strong stench of wild boar, the smell that remained in the air was only from their Marshal. It means that the Marshal must have been here before.

Colonel Corey looked at the countless messy hoof prints of the wild boars on the ground, and immediately deduced that there should be a fierce battle happened in this area before.

The Marshal must have had a fierce battle with wild boars here, plus the wild boars were also the natural enemies of pythons.

Did these beasts eat the Marshal?!

Their Marshal, the most admired and most powerful Marshal Raymond of the Empire, died tragically in the mouth of the wild boar.

"Yes!"

Jecca took his men and immediately transformed into various animals such as white wolf, leopard, rhinoceros, and hyena, then rushed towards the depths of the forest.

The golden snail was stunned.

These people............

No, these spirits...

How could these spirits arrogantly show up in front of humans at their will?

Jin Suo knew that in the North they had a secret special department, where the members were all kinds of creatures, of course there were also spirits and demons.

His master was one of them.

But, how could they tell the Marshal's parents about this? Anyway, it's better to arrange a place first for this subbeastman.

When Corey was watching Jin Suo , Jin Suo was also watching him.

The golden snail guessed whether the big guy in front of him was also a demon or not. He also planned to live in human society in the future, so he didn't want to expose the fact that he was also a spirit cultivator.

He didn't want to be persuaded by them to enter any special department or perform any special tasks. He just wanted to enjoy a normal human life.

Jin Suo found that the other party looked a little hesitant when looking at him. He guessed that these people still had some tasks they needed to do, so it was inconvenient to bring him now.

He didn't want to trouble these people, so he asked directly, "Is it okay to take me?"

Looking at Corey's expression, Jin Suo knew that the other party couldn't understand him, so he used body language to communicate.

The golden snail gestured with his hands, pointed to the depths of the forest, then waved his hands again. What he wanted to convey was, if they still had a task, no need to bring him, and just leave him alone.

Anyway, he could leave this place on his own, it would only take a little longer than if he went with them. Besides, he still had his little brother for now. When Da Hei woke up, they would get out of this virgin forest very quickly.

Thinking of Da Hei, Jin Suo touched his stomach. Actually, he really wanted to take Da Hei out now.

Da Hei's wound must have completely healed, so staying in his stomach like this, no, in his shell, was really uncomfortable for him. But there were still other people here, if he suddenly took out such a big python from his body... He didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

On their way home with the spacecraft, it couldn't directly fly them back to the Central Star, because this hidden star was too far away, and they at least needed to pass through three planets just to restock their supplies. At this moment, Colonel Corey parked the spacecraft at the military energy supply station on one of those planets.

Jin Suo came down from the spacecraft and saw the high-rise buildings and various high-tech products that only human society could have. The humans here looked strange to his eyes. They seemed to see him as a delicious food, indicated by the saliva that were about to flow down from their mouth.

All Jin Suo's hairs on his body stood up by these hot stares, so he secretly added a layer of defense to himself.

"Captain Corey, do you need to be tested here?" A gentle voice sounded.

The speaker was a young man about 30 years old, with fair eyebrows and beautiful eyes. Jin Suo Suo immediately felt close to him at first glance.

Colonel Corey and the others walked all the way inside. When looked from the outside, almost all of them were tall and rough-looking big men, with the exception of the man in front of them, who looked much more gentle.

Colonel Corey said, "That's right, doctor Xi Ze."

"Who is this?" Xi Ze pointed to Jin Suo Suo who was following Colonel Corey.

This planet was called Limestone Star. It was a very remote planet, so people with weaker bodies like subbeastmen usually would not come to such a place.

Xi Ze was also a subbeastman, but he was a military doctor and lived in a safer place such as the barracks.

Colonel Corey couldn't explain the identity of the golden snail, so he only vaguely said, "This is the subbeastman we rescued on the way. Let him also check his body."

The subbeastmen generally had high appearance values and weak abilities, so they were oftenly targeted by some interstellar traffickers to be sold in remote planets.

In addition, this subbeastman was so good looking, that's why Xi Ze had no doubt that Colonel Corey rescued him from a trafficker.

Xi Ze, who was also a subbeastman, felt very sympathetic to the golden snail. He beckoned gently at the golden snail, smiled and said, "Hello, I am the doctor here and I will take you for a physical examination..."

Jin Suo could not understand what he was saying, but when he saw the kindness in Xi Ze's eyes, he no longer had a doubt to follow him.

At this moment, he saw an exquisite and small hover car, he didn't even know if that thing was also called a hover car. But then the car suddenly flew into the sky with a "swish", and it already couldn't be seen in the blink of an eye.

He knew that there was such a thing as that vehicle on Earth, but didn't they fly like an airplane? Jin Suo faintly felt that something was wrong.

The physical examinations experienced by Corey and the others were completely different from the physical examinations that the golden snail had. Xi Ze took them to the entrance of the examination room and arranged for other doctors to examine Corey and the others, while he took Jin Suo to another room.

After a while, Corey saw Xi Ze walk in hurriedly and said to him, "Colonel Corey, the subbeastman you brought back, he is pregnant!"1

Corey jumped up from the chair suddenly, his eyes widened, "What did you say? He is pregnant, pregnant?!!!"

The beast empire attached great importance to cubs and pregnant women or subbeastmen. These people could even enjoy certain privileges, but this was not the point, the point was that the subbeastman he brought back were already completely marked by the Marshal!!

"Are you sure?" Colonel Corey confirmed again.

Xi Ze felt that his reaction was a little strange, but he only nodded and said solemnly, "The tools here are not that advance, so we still need to take him to the Interstellar Legal Education Bureau for further inspection as soon as possible."

T/N:

So, here's my explanation about the world of this danmei, everyone (man and woman) has an energy core, that made them can change into their beast forms, except for the subbeastman, who have a male appearance but no energy core. So, you can find it in later chapters, that beastmen who prefer subbeastmen over females, have the same connotation as homosexual (no need to think too deeply into it though, it's not that important).
