Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 516, Side Story 3: Two-Faced Dragon One
This wasn't the first time Frederick had felt the urgency of time and the thirst for power.

But this is the first time I've felt this way.

There is pressure, there is anxiety, but more than anything, there is urgency, an eagerness filled with hope and sweet anticipation.

There was no pain or repression.

The thought that as his strength and lifespan increased, he could spend more time with Xixi was all he needed to think about.

He was obsessed with this urgency and desire.

And there was a faint hint of sadness.

Sigh (frowning and sighing), his strength and talent are still too weak.

Why doesn't he have the talent of the main characters in Xixi's stories?
For example, can you have an epiphany while eating a meal?
For example, could you advance by simply tripping and falling while walking?

If all else fails, can't you just sleep it off and reach the Great Perfection of your cultivation?
(XiXi: Whose protagonist in a story suddenly has an epiphany and advances to a higher level just by taking a couple of steps? To achieve perfect enlightenment by sleeping, you need to sleep for at least a hundred or a thousand years, okay?! There's clearly a timeline!)

Not only is he not very talented, but he's also lazy!

Sure enough, the book is right: if you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old!
He's been lazy and unproductive all these years, and hasn't taken the initiative to cultivate at all. Now he's really regretting it!

Frederick sighed deeply again and slowly ate the grilled ribs in his lunchbox.

They gnawed away at each piece with exceptional care.

Blake nudged Fu Nan, signaling him to look.

He silently inquired, "What's going on? Is that pork rib poisonous?" Otherwise, why would he have been gnawing on it for so long? But the taste was undeniably tempting.

Fu Nan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Because he had lived a life of constant displacement and hunger since childhood, Frederick developed an extremely fast eating speed.

The "food" that gets its hands on is always the first thing to be eaten by everyone.

Even after he lived a life free from want, he did not change this habit.

The only reason Blake could think of for his unusual eating habits today was that the food was poisoned!
Blake, ever outspoken, blurted out, "Dog Dong, boss, your food... if it's poisonous, don't eat it."

Watching Frederick slowly and methodically gnaw on such a small bowl of meat and bones (the bowl was forty centimeters in diameter), Blake felt uncomfortable all over.

"Xiao Hei, how did you know this was food Xi Xi specially prepared for me! She was worried I wouldn't like the nutritional supplement while on my business trip!"

Blake: "What? I don't..." know.

Frederick: "What? You not only know that this is the food Xixi prepared for me, but you also know that Xixi prepared all the food for me during this business trip? A different meal every day!"

Blake: "Huh? No, I don't..."

"What? You not only know that Xixi prepared different foods for me for so many days, but you also know that all the foods Xixi prepared are my favorites?"

Blake's eyes widened: "No, I..." He really didn't know!

"Xiao Hei, how come you're so smart today?! You even know how to apply what you've learned to other situations?! You even know that Xi Xi prepared these things because she cares about me! Because she likes me!"

Blake: "No..."

"Wow, how did you know that Xixi said 'I like you' to me herself? She also said she would wait for me to come back from kindergarten, and what's more, she said she would think about me every single day! Xiao Hei, how do you know everything?!"

Blake opened his mouth, but no word came out.

Frederick: "Hehe, Blackie, do you know what it feels like to be the object of a woman's affections?"

Blake didn't even open his mouth this time.

He felt that the dog boss probably didn't need his answer?
"Oh, I forgot you're a lifelong single, Xiao Hei, so you probably don't understand the sweet feeling of being thought about by your partner~"

Blake inexplicably felt a pain in his chest.

But he wasn't injured!
"To be honest, Blackie, you should probably start dating someone," Frederick suggested earnestly.

For some reason, Blackie and Blake felt...

He wanted to punch Frederick's seemingly sorrowful face a few times.

After Frederick finished torturing Blake, his gaze slowly fell on Fu Nan...

Fu Nan, Fu Nan, he took three steps back in succession, "You, what do you want to do?!" With Frederick's dog-like nature, being stared at like that by him was never a good thing!

Frederick's eyes were deep and inquisitive. "Little Nan, I remember that although you were the first beast husband, it seemed that you were not favored by the mistress?"

Fu Nan's forehead veins bulged and throbbed faintly.

It's more than just being out of favor.

It's as if they were never even considered from the start.

If it weren't for the family marriage alliance, and the fact that he was the only male beastman in the Fu family suitable for such an alliance, he would never have been able to marry the female protagonist.

That is why he was unable to enter his wife's room for ten years of marriage.

Later, the servant who had been with the wife since childhood also entered the household. Although he did not have the title of "beast husband," he was much more prestigious than her.

After all, the servants of large families are almost always trained to be the husbands' servants. They are not taught combat skills, but rather the art of vying for favor and seducing the emperor.

In short, those servants were not only more favored by their wives than Fu Nan, but also more cunning.

"That's true. With your bad temper, it's not easy for you to win the wife's favor."

Fu Nan's lips twitched incessantly, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes at him sideways.

"We men not only need to be presentable in public and capable in the kitchen, but we also need to be sweet-talking, know how to be charming, and most importantly, be generous!"

Frederick, acting like an experienced person, "instructed" Fu Nan.

"The way to a woman's heart is through her stomach."

Fu Nan nodded.

Blake tried to slip away, but Frederick grabbed him from behind, pressing his shoulder down and pulling him back. "Little Black, sit still!" He pressed Little Black down onto the stool.

Blake struggled and struggled.

To no avail; he used his mental power to firmly pin him to the small stool.

“Little Black, stop moving around like a worm! Listen carefully, it will greatly help you find a wife in the future. Among us, you're the only one who's never been in a relationship.” Frederick said, exasperated.

Blake, "like a worm," kept wriggling, trying to break free from the tightly bound mental ropes binding him.

Fu Nan sighed and comforted him, "Blake, this is the seventy-seventh time you've been kidnapped in the last two weeks. Let's listen carefully, otherwise the boss won't be able to finish his meal today, and we won't be able to leave this cabin."

Fu Nan was already immune to Frederick's gimmicky tactics of showing off under the guise of teaching. Only Blake, who had always been very competitive, had not given up and had not yet given up the struggle. "Hmph, great Blake, will never give in to dog dog dog."

Dog...?
Fu Nan closed his eyes with difficulty.

"Bang—" Frederick's fist gently, very gently, struck Blake's head.

Blake squatted on the ground, a large bump on his head.

"Fu Nan! Are you just going to stand by and watch me get beaten up?!" Even if you don't take the beating for him, you should at least say something fair!
Fu Nan kept his eyes closed. "No, no, no, how could I be such a heartless beast? I would never stand by and watch you get beaten!" So he closed his eyes.

Frederick manifested his mental power, grabbed Blake by the back of his neck, and lifted him onto a stool. "Sit down. I am Xixi's beast now. You all live off me. If you embarrass me, I embarrass you. If I embarrass you, Xixi embarrasses you. This is unacceptable!"

Blake scoffed dismissively, "Heh, you're Lady Jiang Yuxi's beast, and we're your subordinates. You could practically say we're all Lady Jiang Yuxi's beasts..."

"What did you say?!" Frederick's eyes glowed red, like a demon from hell.

The spirit form of Jiang Xiaoye appeared out of nowhere, and red mist spread out from around Xiao Zhulong.

"Shameless!" Jiang Xiaoye's red mist condensed into a whip and lashed out at Blake!
"Blake! You're after Xixi?!" Frederick's icy voice echoed in the cabin.

He knew that Xi Xi was so good, so powerful, so gentle, so beautiful, so cute, and so noble... (countless "so..." are omitted here) that many beastmen must like Xi Xi, but he never expected that Blake would also like Xi Xi?

To put it bluntly, I want to be Xixi's beast, to replace him, to take away Xixi's affection from him, and to share Xixi's care and love.

If Blake succeeds, and he gets "injured" later, Xixi will choose to ignore it.
From now on, Xixi will never touch any of the food he makes, let alone give him a thumbs up and praise him for being incredibly talented;
From then on, he could only see Xixi during working hours. After get off work, he could only stay in the places where Xixi was, just so he could see Xixi a little more.
From now on, every penny he earns will no longer be directly deposited into Xixi's account, but will instead become cold numbers lying in his bank account;

From then on, whenever Xixi earned star coins or received pocket money on holidays, he would never get any.

In the future, when he makes a mistake, Xixi will only deduct his contribution points normally, just like everyone else, instead of deducting both contribution points and pocket money. In serious cases, she might even deduct the number of times he can farm scales...

The more Frederick thought about it, the uglier his expression became.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaoye was also brainstorming.

His thoughts weren't as complicated as Frederick's.

All he knew was that if his master lost his favor, he would have no standing whatsoever with Master Xixi and Jiang Xiaoxi!

The master loses his affection = Xi Xi's master doesn't like him = Jiang Xiao Xi hates him = The sky is falling!
Frederick and Jiang Xiaoye's only thought at this moment: This absolutely cannot be allowed to happen!
Blake was bewildered: "What the hell?! You bastard, can't you and your spirit be reasonable for once, and learn to use your brains?! Where did you get the idea that I covet Lady Jiang Yuxi?! Heaven and earth bear witness, I have absolutely no feelings for Lady Jiang Yuxi!" Putting aside Lady Jiang Yuxi, just Frederick alone completely dispelled his enchantment, okay?!
In this era where female beastmen can legally have many beastmen husbands and servants, some beastmen, for the sake of family harmony, will choose males they already know, have some interaction with, get along well with, or are compatible with to form a family together.

But Blake was strongly opposed.

He had sworn since he was young that he would never serve the same mistress as that bastard Frederick!
It's impossible!

As long as she is Frederick's wife, even if she is a goddess, he would never be interested in her!

If Frederick's wife were the only female beastman left in the entire interstellar beast world, he, the great Lord Black, would rather never need a wife or form a family with a male than be with Frederick!
The wonderful time was spent in Frederick's private lessons...

Three months later, Jiang Yuxi received a message from Frederick that "mission completed, expected to return in six days, twenty-one hours and forty minutes," and she was fully prepared to gain a "Jiaojiaolong" soon.

To her surprise, after Frederick returned, he stayed by her side for less than an hour before saying he was sleepy and wanted to go back to his room to rest.

In just one hour, not even the little creature that would shyly hide in the red mist appeared.

Jiang Yuxi: ? ? ?

Her heart sank; she had a bad feeling.

She turned her attention to Blake and Fu Nan, whom Frederick had described as "like-minded partners who started a business together."

……

After Jiang Yuxi's coercion and enticement, she finally got the information she wanted and confirmed her guess.

This time, they were not facing an ordinary horde of star beasts, and the leader was not a star beast king, but a star beast emperor unlike anything ever seen in interstellar history.

One Star Beast Emperor, and seven Star Beast Kings.

Frederick, the strongest fighter who faced the Star Beast King head-on, was injured.

As for how serious their injuries were, neither of them knew.

With a worried heart and a firm attitude, Jiang Yuxi knocked on Frederick's door.

As she expected, the injury was very serious.

Frederick's mental energy sea had undergone a deep purification before she left home, and her condition had greatly improved. However, the mental energy sea that appeared before her now was clearly worse than before she set off.

Jiang Xiaoye was also covered in wounds, with the deepest wound on the base of her only horn. Although it was not fatal, it was enough to show how dangerous the battle between Frederick and the Star Beast King was.

"Are there any other injuries?" Jiang Yuxi asked as she released Jiang Xiaoxi, carefully pulling at Frederick's clothes to check for any other wounds.

She didn't believe that Frederick would need to hide such a small wound.

"No, really no more!" Frederick clutched his clothes tightly, looking like a respectable man about to be "tortured," and said with conviction.

Given that one of the males had a criminal record, Jiang Yuxi did not believe it.

In the end, it was Jiang Xiaoxi who came into play.

The truly fatal wound lies hidden beneath Jiang Xiaoye's Achilles' heel.

Seeing Frederick's guilty and ingratiating appearance, Jiang Yuxi was angry, but she felt more heartache.

It wasn't the kind of pain that feels like being pricked by a fine needle, but rather the pain of being repeatedly struck in the heart by a sharp hammer—both sharp and heavy.
