The bright spot falling from the sky was not strange to Ian; it was the scene of a spaceship landing.\n  \nThere was a spaceship landing . . . . Was this someone coming?\n \nIan and the othersâ lives on the Fallen Beast Planet could not be regarded as bad, but it was definitely not good. At least for Ian, who was used to the convenient and fast life of the capital star, living here was inconvenient for him in all respects.\n  \nEveryone here lived like this though. In fact, because he was a sub-beastman, he had received a lot of care, so naturally, he never said anything.\n  \nHowever, him not saying anything did not mean he did not want to go back.\n  \nSo many days had passed; he wondered how things in the capital star were . . . . He kept thinking of Chris these days. Now that he saw a spaceship landing, he just couldnât wait to rush ahead straightway to take a look.\n  \nNevertheless, although the spaceship was landing, but it did not come down on their side. The landing site seemed to be very far from them, and it would probably take a lot of effort to go there even if it was a beastman, not to mention that he was just a sub-beastman.\n  \n"A spaceshipâs coming!" Ian excitedly tried to catch a glimpse of the area where the spaceship landed and immediately turned his gaze toward the leopard Bauer, "Bauer, do you have any device that can transmit messages to that spaceship?" When these fallen beasts were sent to the Fallen Beast Planet, they all brought some stuff, and there was no lack of communication devices among these. He wondered if Bauer brought one with him.\n \nBecause the Fallen Beast Planet was a primitive planet, messages sent from those communication devices simply couldnât reach the outside of the Fallen Beast Planet, but after the spaceship had landed, it could receive such messages.\n  \n"I do. Iâve been holding onto my communication device. But, can you just send some messages casually? If that spaceship belongs to the star pirate, what should we do?" The leopard Bauer asked worriedly.\n  \nâWill the star pirates come here?â Ian asked a question in reply.\n  \n"Actually, no . . ." The leopard Bauer answered. There was no habitable star or mineral star in the vicinity of the Fallen Beast Planet. This place was so poor it would not even raise a fuss. Not to say that the only spaceship that passed by each year was escorted by the military, the fallen beasts and the food loaded inside were also not worth robbing at all, so the star pirates would never come here.\n  \nBut if the star pirates would not come, other people normally wouldnât come either, ah . . . . It was still more than half a year before the spaceship that sent food would come again. What the hell was this spaceship doing here?\n  \nCould it be that people were coming to pick up the empress and the crown prince?\n  \nThe leopard Bauer somewhat doubted it. Some bright spots appeared in the sky againâmore spaceships were landing.\n  \nThese spaceships were significantly larger than the first spaceship, to the extent that they could see the faint silhouette of the spaceships. The spaceships were arranged in a neat and tidy row and slowly began to land.\n  \nIan could not clearly see the specific appearance of those spaceships because they were a little too far away, but with so many spaceships together, they could not be star pirates!\n  \n"Quick, take your communication device out." Ian told Bauer at once.\n  \nThe leopard Bauer looked at those spaceships and stared blankly for a moment. Only after hearing Ianâs words did he hurriedly fish out the communication device from the space button and hand it over to Ian.\n  \nInside one of the spaceships that were landing on the Fallen Beast Planet.\n  \nChris stood in the main control room; his eyes were sunken and red, and his complexion was even worse.\n  \nHe did not feel like eating anything these days. Although he would drink concentrated nutrient fluid every day, but the whole person still lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, so much so that he looked worse than when he thought Edgar had died.\n  \nAt that time, although he thought his son was dead, but at least he still had a partner at his side to accompany himself. His partner also depended on him, so he absolutely couldnât collapse. But now, he was really unable to endure it.\n  \nTo date, it had been more or less half a month since they had found the first fragment of his private spaceship. And during this half a month, Chris had fully experienced torments every day and even at every moment.\n  \nThe spaceship was broken into pieces; could the people on board still be alive?\n  \nChris simply didn't dare to think deeply about it, but he still spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. After that, he began searching the universe for the spaceship's lifepod.\n  \nAlthough everyone felt that the probability of the kidnapped empress and other people on the spaceship being able to take the lifepod and flee for their lives was very low, but they still spared no pains or effort to look for the lifepod.\n  \nAfter they found the first fragment of the spaceship, they actually didnât catch anything again for a time. They eventually found the second fragment in a very remote area.\n  \nEven though the original exit of the wormhole was unstable, but it was usually safe and had a regular pattern. But now, the exit of that wormhole had been completely chaotic, to the point that there were more than one exit.\n  \nThey kept looking without stopping to sleep or rest for ten days. The researchers constantly did calculations using the data they already had and finally circled out a rough range where the lifepod, if there was any, would be after coming out of the wormhole. Afterwards, everyone continued to look for it.\n  \nBut they still ended up empty-handed.\n \nAn intact lifepod would send out a distress signal, and the signal was also very strong. Yet they had never received such a signal at all . . . . If it were not for the fact that they had not found those people nor their dead bodies, Chris had probably already collapsed now.\n  \nEveryone present was full of worries about His Imperial Majesty the Emperor, but no one dared to advise Chris to stop and rest . . . . Chrisâ temper was very bad these days. Almost everyone who went up to persuade him got ruthlessly punished. This time, if it were not for having to find a habitable planet nearby because they had no more water for daily use in the spaceship, Chris probably wouldâve completely rejected the brief stop-over on the Fallen Beast Planet.\n  \nWhen the spaceship entered the atmosphere, it shook slightly but quickly stabilized. Chris blinked his dry eyes and ordered, "Dispatch the robots to check the entire planet thoroughly.â\n \nThey once found a large piece of spaceship fragment on an area one-day-travel away from the Fallen Beast Planet. If there was indeed a lifepod coming out of the wormhole . . . maybe the lifepod would land on this planet.\n  \nChris also hoped that the lifepod would land on this planet.\n  \nThere was life on this planet. If the lifepod landed here, the people inside would have a way to survive. But if it landed elsewhere . . . .\n  \n"Yes, Your Majesty." Chrisâ assistant answered and went to arrange some men to search for those people.\n  \n"Wait," Chris suddenly stopped him. "Iâll go too."\n  \n"Your Majesty, the medical officer said that you need to rest." Chris' assistant could not help but say. Chris' condition was very bad; the medical officer had said that if he did not rest, he might likely collapse.\n \n"You just have to obey my orders! Ian and the others should be on this planet. Iâll go and look for them myself." Chris said. The star field they circled out had been searched everywhere, but there was simply no lifepod found . . . . Now he was hoping that the lifepod was here.\n  \nHow possible was it for the empressâ lifepod to crash here? Chris' assistant did not think that they would be so fortunate. He would rather Chris took a good rest than search for people.\n  \nBut when he looked up and saw Chris' face, such thoughts instantly disappeared. "Yes, Your Majesty. Iâll arrange it right away!"\n  \nThe spaceship finally landed on the ground. Chris put on a dry land combat suit and was about to step out. At this moment, the man in charge of handling messages aboard the spaceship suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, we received a message."\n  \n"What message?" Chris halted his footsteps and asked.\n \nChrisâ assistant had already realized and quickly said, "It should be an SOS message sent out by the fallen beasts on the planet . . . . Your Majesty, this is the Fallen Beast Planet; would you like to bring some more people with you?"\n \n"No need." Chris replied. He once again started to leave and unexpectedly heard an exclamation from behind. "We received the empress' message!"\n  \n"What?" Chris' footsteps suddenly stopped, then he turned round and looked over.\n  \n"Thereâs a message here saying that heâs the empress . . ." Someone said, pointing to the message on the display screen. The message showed a string of military secret codes, and after breaking the codes, a message saying that he was the empress appeared.\n  \nSeeing this, Chrisâ face showed an ecstatic expression. "Lock onto the communication device that sent the message! Iâm going to rush there in the shortest possible time!"\n  \n"Yes, Your Majesty!"\n  \nSeveral aircraft flew out of the spaceship, flying toward the distance. Meanwhile, in the spaceship, Calvin turned to face the Duke of Mund with a happy expression on his face. "Father, did you hear it?"\n  \n"I heard it." The Duke of Mund nodded, mood loosening at once.\n  \nIf the empress and the others were fine, then he and his son would also be fine . . . .\n \nThe sky above the Fallen Beast Planet had always been the territory of the strange birds with long wings and fur that looked a bit like huge bats. These animals were savage carnivores. When they gathered during the breeding season, even powerful fallen beasts would give way in the face of their superior strength.\n  \nThey were the overlords of the sky on the Fallen Beast Planet, but today, many "monsters" that were much bigger than them appeared in the sky.\n  \nA strange bird charged into that huge monster and directly got its neck broken from the collision and lost its life. Other strange birds immediately became afraid of those "monsters". Screeching, they scattered and fled.\n  \nOn the ground, a small colony of fallen beasts who heard the frightened screeching of the strange birds raised their heads and unexpectedly saw several aircraft flying very fast toward the distance.\n  \nAircraft? How could aircraft appear on the Fallen Beast Planet?\n  \nThe fallen beasts in this colony were extremely curious, yet they could not think of a reason, so they just went hunting as usualâeven if several aircrafts appeared here, it did not matter to them, fallen beasts; they still had to do their own things.\n  \nAlthough Reynolds had sent them some food, but they would still go hunting, so as to avoid not having enough food to eat.\n  \nThe bright sports in the sky had disappeared; it might be assumed that several spaceships had landed . . . . Ian turned his gaze in the direction of the landing spaceships and clenched his teeth, saying, "Let's go there!"\n  \n"Empress . . ." The leopard Bauer was full of excitement. If he could follow those spaceships and leave the Fallen Beast Planet, didnât it mean that it would not be long before he could see his own sub-beastman and children? With such thoughts, he suddenly couldnât help but turn into his beast formâbesides fatigue, being too excited could also make little beastmen involuntarily transform themselves.\n  \nBauer could not speak after he turned into his beast form. He looked at the direction of the spaceshipsâ whereabouts and stooped down before Ian, hinting at Ian to go up and sit on his back.\n  \nAlthough beastmen generally would only let their own sub-beastmen and children ride on their backs, but it was not absolute. In special circumstances, carrying other sub-beastmen on their backs was not a problem.\n  \nThe leopard Bauer already had his own sub-beastman, and the empressâ status and age were also very different from his. He thought it did not matter even if he carried the empress. In any case, he would never have any thoughts about the empress.\n  \nIan straightforwardly sat on the leopardâs back, and then the leopard quickly ran out.\n  \nThey had not run for long before some aircraft came into view in front of them. When they saw those aircraft, Ianâs heart gave a jump, and the leopard also came to a stop.\n  \nThey stopped, and those aircraft also stopped. Someone jumped down from the front of the aircraft, staring deeply at Ian.\n  \nIt was Chris! Ian came down from the leopardâs back and stared at Chris with excitement. Both men did not talk, but the gazes they exchanged seemed to speak a thousand words.\n  \nChris and Ian met again after a long period of separation. They were very excited, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the leopard at Ianâs side suddenly became a person, and a naked one at that.\n  \nChris, who was going to embrace his spouse, immediately sported a black look on his face. The leopard Bauer felt that he was extremely unlucky. He actually forgot that he still couldnât completely control his transformation . . . .\n  \nBauer urgently wished to turn back into his beast form to escape the awkwardness, but sadly, he was unable to change. Just when he was worrying, he suddenly felt some pressure come rushing towards him . . . .\n  \nAs a not-so-powerful beastman, Bauer directly turned into his beast form under this pressure.\n  \nOkay, it was fine now.\n  \nBauer shrunk to the side and did not move a muscle.\n  \nChris originally had many words he wanted to say to Ian. But after he really saw Ian, he was actually unable to say a single word. On the contrary, after a pause, Ian at once started to jabber on and on. âChris, how did you make yourself look like this? Looking at how ugly you are, how long have you not eaten and bathed? Quickly eat something. Iâll talk to you while you eat."\n  \n"Weâre all fine. You don't have to worry. The egg has hatched, and itâs a very vigorous little beastman. He runs particularly fast I canât even catch up with him.â\n  \nâOur lives have been very good these days. We havenât been hungry or cold.â\n  \nâIâm fine. Itâs just that . . . I miss you."\n
