Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1452 - 1299: Ancient Beast World 57

Su Jinghao didn’t mind speculating with the greatest malice about Shuangshuang, thinking that perhaps this Great Elder Shuangshuang was just jealous of her because she was pretty and laughing and talking with Yan Ming.That’s why Shuangshuang suddenly took Yan Ming away, not letting him talk more with her, with the purpose of separating them, lest Yan Ming fall for her.

Feeling overly optimistic about herself, Su Jinghao completely forgot about Yan Ming’s previous indifference and impatience with her, firmly believing it was out of Shuangshuang’s jealousy that prevented Yan Ming from interacting with her.

Meanwhile, Shuangshuang, who was being suspected by Su Jinghao, hadn’t actually seen Su Jinghao, or perhaps even if she did, she subconsciously ignored her.

It’s not Shuangshuang’s fault; at the beginning of this life cycle, Shuangshuang still remembered wanting to retaliate against Su Jinghao properly once she showed up.

But before Su Jinghao appeared, she began building Hope City, and has since been busy day and night, worrying about the scarcity of talent to the point her hairline is receding.

During a particularly hectic period, Shuangshuang even looked at the Fishman Clan with eager eyes due to their abundance of smart talents.

Unfortunately, they had one major flaw: they couldn’t leave the water, becoming useless on land, a fatal weakness that rendered them unusable anywhere but in Wanghai City and the future South City.

In such a busy whirlwind, what with wishing she could split herself up to tackle everything, Su Jinghao was long forgotten by Shuangshuang.

Even though Su Jinghao was next to Shuangshuang just now, she was facing away, entangled with Yan Ming, so Shuangshuang didn’t see her face.

Furthermore, with so much on Shuangshuang’s mind, she was focused only on Yan Ming, completely oblivious as she brushed past Su Jinghao.

Now sitting atop the mammoth, Shuangshuang playfully teased Yan Ming: "Fourth Elder, you really are so charming. I see you’re being pestered. How’s that female orc’s look, is she pretty?"

Yan Ming frowned, looking quite vexed: "She’s just a flirt, don’t pay her any mind." The word "flirt" was something Yan Ming picked up from Shuangshuang, and he found it a very apt label for Su Jinghao.

Shuangshuang looked at Yan Ming’s troubled expression with amusement: "If you weren’t so discreet, bringing people along when you go out, you wouldn’t get cornered. Speaking of which, what brings you out of the city? I remember you not liking to go out."

Only when Shuangshuang said this did Yan Ming remember that the rare occasion of him going out to find Shuangshuang was for a serious matter. He immediately composed himself and said to Shuangshuang: "Right, I came to discuss something with you.

Didn’t Ting Lan and Tingxue recently fall in love with beastmen and want to get married? Suddenly there are a lot of beastmen wanting to get married in Hope City, all seeking advice from us on holding weddings.

I really have no idea what a wedding or wedding dress entails, so I thought of coming to you to see what you suggest to handle this matter."

Marriage and weddings are concepts that Shuangshuang instilled in the beastmen. Previously, to promote this idea, Shuangshuang even held a belated wedding for Shi Li and Saran.

That wedding was meticulously planned by Shuangshuang, incredibly grand and stunning, leading many beastmen to look on enviously, wanting to follow suit with a wedding themselves.

Shuangshuang is using this method to influence the beastmen’s views on marriage subtly, instilling in them the desire for marriage, and inspiring both men and women to maintain purity for each other.

Now Shuangshuang’s ideas have begun to bear fruit, with more and more people in the tribe choosing to marry and spend their lives with one man or woman.

Ting Lan and Tingxue, being the closest to Shuangshuang, have been most influenced by her, with their worldview shaped by her teaching of independence, strength, and mutual purity in love.

Originally, Ting Lan and Tingxue were busy enough following Tu Ya and Saran, managing the medicinal aspects of Hope City, with no time for romance.

Later, when Hope City accepted many beastmen, Shuangshuang’s job allocation resulted in two Snake Clan members working in the pharmaceutical department, later surprisingly forming relationships with Ting Lan and Tingxue.

Ting Lan and Tingxue, originally of the Cat Clan, resemble caracals, slightly larger, with strong hunting abilities, they aren’t a weak clan despite being feline.

The Cat Clan ended up with Snake Clan beastmen, causing Shuangshuang a headache initially, as she wondered if the different beastmen could have children together, and what form they might take?

Hearing this, Shuangshuang’s imagination took flight: a cat body with a snake’s tail or perhaps a snake’s head on a cat’s body, thoughts that made Shuangshuang shudder at the potential oddity of the offspring.

However, after mustering up the courage to ask the well-versed Chang Kong about this out of curiosity, she got an explanation.

Beastmen aren’t limited to reproducing solely within their own clan; mixed-clan pairings do frequently occur.

In such cases, a female offspring takes after the mother for beast form, while a male takes after the father, as long as the size difference isn’t extreme, like a normal beastman with a mammoth, reproduction is possible.

After all, ordinary beastmen can’t reproduce with mammoth clan beastmen because the latter’s children are far larger than normal infants.

If a non-mammoth beastman carries a mammoth clan’s child, it’s impossible to give birth, inevitably leading to both deaths without exception.

After Ting Lan and Tingxue found people they liked, they wanted to hold a wedding, and Shuangshuang’s parents, grandparents, along with Da Shi, and many Silver Tiger Clan beastmen all lived as families after marriage.

Previously, beastmen were too preoccupied with survival, only concerned with food and clothing, neglecting emotional lives, having no time for romance when barely surviving.

But now things are different; in Hope City, anyone willing to work isn’t worried about food and clothing, leading to secured lives and naturally a desire for emotional and spiritual enrichment.

Witnessing those living sweetly with families, having someone to miss them when they’re out, someone waiting at home, left many habitual fling-loving beastmen feeling discontent.

As social animals, beastmen have a strong human-like nature, instinctively yearning for warmth, leading many to choose to live together as a couple.

Since witnessing Shuangshuang’s wedding arrangement for Shi Li and Saran, many beastmen couples have been inspired to hold their own weddings.

Yan Ming ventured out of the city this time to find Shuangshuang, overwhelmed by beastmen eager to hold weddings who came to him begging for advice, prompting him to consider seeking Shuangshuang’s input.

He remembered Shuangshuang mentioning that if a day came when many couples wished to wed, she would arrange a grand collective wedding for them, creating a festive event for the entire Hope City.
