"oh"

After several days of travel, we finally arrived at our destination: Beast City.

It has a bit of an ancient architectural feel to it.

It was a magnificent city with thick walls built of large stones. Outside the city gate was a spacious square surrounded by fences, guarded by orcs wielding large clubs. In the center was a wide avenue, decorated with some strangely shaped stone carvings.

The trees outside the city were uneven; some enormous trees grew vigorously, but others were withered and covered in snow.

Looking around, Guo Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "It's so beautiful! It's a hundred times better than our tribe. It gives me the illusion of transitioning from an agricultural era to a heavy industrial era!"

Here, various orcs appeared in large numbers. They were all heading towards the Beast City, summoned by the Beast King, and each one was dressed in thick, imposing clothing.

Occasionally, Guo Xiaoxiao would see a few females bundled up tightly. So there were other females like her who had come to watch the commotion; not all of them were just unwilling to move.

Miksen transformed into human form and carried Guo Xiaoxiao on his back. There were too many strange beastmen, and he had to be careful. Everyone had transformed into human form and were protecting Guo Xiaoxiao, afraid she would get lost in the crowd.

Let's go.

Miksen led the group into the Beast City.

The city was filled with a savage and rugged atmosphere, with stone houses built from piles of stone blocks everywhere, and groups of beastmen roaming the streets.

It seems like people from many tribes have come, so there are so many people gathered here that it's incredibly crowded.

Some of the orcs, upon seeing them, stared curiously at Guo Xiaoxiao on Miken's back.

Some bolder orcs came up to ask questions, but Miksen and Cangjue refused to answer, their attitude of "I'll kill whoever angers me" scaring away the curious males.

Seeing so many males coveting his mate, Cang Jue's face darkened. The courtship instincts of orcs are innate; they like to chase after any female they see.

Guo Xiaoxiao, held tightly by Cang Jue, exuded an aura of unapproachability. Seeing Miksen and Cang Jue's possessive behavior towards their food, she couldn't stop laughing; those two were incredibly jealous.

"Mickson, Cangjue, let's go quickly!"

She urged Mickson to hurry and get out of the crowded area, and Mickson, carrying Guo Xiaoxiao on his back, quickly walked towards the city center.

Upon reaching another street, the crowd thinned out slightly, and the aroma of meat filled the air. The street was bustling with people buying and selling things using seashells.

It turned out to be a food street with various delicacies such as grilled skewers, lamb legs, and fish. The lively atmosphere was palpable. Although it was very simple, they were still doing business.

I really didn't expect that!

Guo Xiaoxiao swallowed hard; her stomach rumbled.

"Xiaoxiao, are you hungry?"

"Uh-huh"

"Wait a moment, I'll go get you something to eat."

Cang Jue immediately took out the seashell to buy meat to eat.

Guo Xiaoxiao looked around and noticed that some vendors were selling things, some of which were herbs, and others were fruits she had never seen before.

Filled with curiosity, Guo Xiaoxiao slid off Mickson's back, took his hand, and looked around.

Randy and several wolf beasts were still behind them, while Abil took out some seashells to buy herbs, which were in great need of every tribe.

"Find a stone house to stay in"

Randy suddenly said, and Mickson nodded, "We'll come when Cang Jue buys a lot of meat."

Together they chose a spot closest to the main entrance of the Beast City: two large stone houses, one for Randy and his group, and the other for Mickson and his group. They looked dilapidated but were quite sturdy.

There was even a "hotel"! With so many orcs flocking to the city, stone houses were in short supply, and many were temporary structures. When their group arrived, a handsome, white-haired orc greeted them, offering 20 seashells a night.

"Why did the price go up?"

Cang Jue said with dissatisfaction, "It used to cost 10 shells to stay a night in Beast City, but this time it's 20. It's too expensive."

The orc was quite polite.

"There are too many orcs, and it's winter, so the price will definitely be higher."

Mickson said, "Give it to Cangjue, there are no other stone houses."

I had no choice but to let them raise prices on the spot. Luckily, I brought a lot of seashells, otherwise I would have had to go outside to find a cave again.

They entered the stone house, which was simply furnished: a stone bed, an animal skin hanging on the wall, a simple stone table, and a stone bowl on the table.

A fluffy blanket was placed on the stone bed; it was very soft and comfortable to sit on.

After putting down her things and finishing her meal, Guo Xiaoxiao burped.

"I'm so full~"

Mickson affectionately patted her head and said...

"I'll go buy some more meat and fruit."

"No, I can't eat anymore."

Cang Jue cleaned up the leftover bones and said...

"Xiaoxiao, you always say you're full after eating so little. No wonder you're so thin."

Guo Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "If I get as fat as a female member of the tribe, you'll probably tell me not to eat anymore."

Cang Jue moved closer to Guo Xiaoxiao and said, "No way, I like you whether you're fat or thin."

After saying that, he kissed Guo Xiaoxiao on the corner of her lips. Guo Xiaoxiao shyly punched Cang Jue's shoulder.

"Hate"

Miksen witnessed this scene again, which further convinced him that Guo Xiaoxiao genuinely liked Cang Jue's treatment of her.

Not only that, Cang Jue held her and whispered in her ear, making Guo Xiaoxiao giggle.

This scene spurred Mickelson on; he vowed to learn from her and not let Guo Xiaoxiao show favoritism towards Cangjue.

As dusk fell, Abil brought news that the new Beast King wanted the tribe chief to see him the next day.

Miksen scoffed. What an arrogance! The new Beast King? Heh, he'd see what this so-called new Beast King was really capable of tomorrow morning.

…

The next day, after breakfast, they gathered together again, and Guo Xiaoxiao went with Miken and the others to see the Beast King.

Upon arriving at a huge plaza, many orcs gathered, all there to pay homage to the Beast King.

Guo Xiaoxiao, perched on Cang Jue's back, peeked out and looked ahead. Several other females were being held in trees by their males, observing them.

In an instant, the place became bustling with noise and excitement.

This was the first time Guo Xiaoxiao had encountered such a situation, and she couldn't help but feel excited. Cang Jue patted her bottom, signaling her to be quiet and not attract the attention of bad guys, which finally calmed Guo Xiaoxiao down.

A tall, strong male led two small females ahead of them. Guo Xiaoxiao wondered, "Could it be that there's a male who can marry two wives?"

"Everyone, please be quiet."

As the sound rang out, the crowd gradually quieted down. Guo Xiaoxiao looked up at the large stone platform in the center and saw a male. He had a strong, muscular body with thick, flowing hair and two black sideburns hanging down his forehead.

His features were deep and defined, his lips were of moderate thickness, his facial contours were well-defined, his eyes were deep and dark, and he had a tall and imposing figure, exuding an air of nobility.

"He's the new Beast King, he really has a kingly aura," Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim. Cang Jue gently pinched Guo Xiaoxiao's thigh.

"What, you've taken a fancy to it?"

Mickelson turned to look at Guo Xiaoxiao, who said...

"impossible"

I can't even handle the two of you, let alone another one. I can't take it! Guo Xiaoxiao would never have such a thought.
