Chapter 1455 - 1302: Ancient Beast World 60
The construction of Happiness City took Shuangshuang a full fifteen years. During this process, Shuangshuang had already commissioned the building of thirty-four large cities and eighteen small ones.Each city has incorporated a great many beastmen, and now the population under Shuangshuang’s governance has reached five million. In modern society, this would be the population of a small city, not even considered a second-tier city.
But in this primitive society, where the mortality rate is alarmingly high, this is quite a staggering number. Over the years, it’s not just those nearby, but even beastmen from faraway places who have come to seek refuge with Shuangshuang.
Farms are flourishing everywhere, agriculture has become deeply ingrained, and hunting has transformed from a necessity for survival into an activity for honing combat skills. Everything is developing in the direction of forming a nation.
Happiness City, completed after fifteen years of construction, is extraordinarily grand. The towering city walls are incredibly thick, and the massive city gates are made very sturdy and heavy. Every time they open or close, it requires seven or eight beastmen to move them together.
The streets inside Happiness City are very spacious. All the houses are two-story pavilions, exquisitely built, with the houses and streets arranged very neatly.
The central location is reserved for the future Imperial City, and Shuangshuang has chosen palatial architecture with a distinct Wei Jin style, predominantly in black and white, appearing grand and solemn.
The residency quota for Happiness City is something Shuangshuang has already decided upon, consisting of her trusted confidants. The Mammoth Clan and the Silver Tiger Clan hold the majority, along with some beastmen from other tribes.
On the day when the population officially moved into Happiness City, Shuangshuang formally proposed the idea of founding a nation. Over the years, her confidants have known much about her ambitions.
Of course, around Shuangshuang were not just the original people; many new confidants have also been cultivated by her.
Three years after the completion of Happiness City, the plan to establish the nation was finally set in stone. Shuangshuang personally named the country Changping, meaning eternal peace!
After the founding of Changping, Shuangshuang, as expected by all, became the first Emperor, while Yan Ming, as the Prime Minister, devoted himself to assisting Shuangshuang in governing the country.
......
Thirteen years after the founding of Changping, at the city gate of Happiness City, a group of beastmen were queuing to enter the city. Nowadays, there was no longer a need to specially prepare a bathhouse at the city gate.
The beastmen, well-fed and clothed, began to have higher spiritual demands. They were already accustomed to a clean and tidy life, and now they couldn’t tolerate being unkempt.
A couple of beastmen held hands, waiting in line to enter the city, both sporting happy smiles on their faces as they exchanged loving glances.
"Yao, I heard that the Seven Skills Cloth Shop has released some new patterns. I’ll get you two new outfits and some top-quality red cloth for our wedding attire."
That Yao also smiled, with an unrestrained expression, replying, "Sure, I happen to have my eye on two bolts of cloth. Let’s buy them together this time, and I’ll make you two new outfits too."
"Let’s think about what else we might need for our wedding. Last time we each bought things separately, and almost everything has been sold. There shouldn’t be anything missing."
Clearly, this was a young couple about to get married, discussing what to buy for each other.
The man didn’t think there was anything wrong with the woman buying him things, nor did the woman find it unusual spending money on the man.
Shuangshuang never emphasized a one-to-one marriage relationship, nor set legal constraints requiring beastmen to marry one-to-one.
Shuangshuang subtly instilled the concept that couples should be loyal to each other, yet never required beastmen to abide by it.
Shuangshuang allowed these beastmen, male or female, to choose their lifestyle freely. Men and women alike, even if choosing to live with someone, could divorce whenever if either party changed their mind, without any moral condemnation.
The truth remains that beastmen preferred living one-on-one. Although no one required them to be faithful in marriage, these beastmen automatically chose to be loyal to each other.
The young couple waiting to enter the city were still figuring out if there was anything they forgot to prepare for their wedding, while an elderly woman with a hunched back and wrinkled face passed by them.
The elderly woman glanced at this happy young couple with cloudy eyes and couldn’t help but scoff. Nowadays, being in love is no guarantee; they might change their hearts at the drop of a hat. Love and promises are unreliable.
This elderly woman was once the illustrious transmigration girl, Su Jinghao! And why Su Jinghao ended up in this sorry state begins with her finally settling down in Hope City as she wished.
After resettling in Hope City, at first, everything seemed peaceful with her three men. Su Jinghao’s biggest daily concern was how to chat with her white knight, Fourth Elder Yan Ming.
But after two years, a sudden change occurred. First, two of Su Jinghao’s men suddenly announced they were leaving her to marry other female orcs.
Su Jinghao never imagined her men would change their hearts. However, the reality was that three men sharing one woman, restraining themselves from touching other women, could only be loyal to Su Jinghao alone.
Initially, Su Jinghao’s men found pleasure in it, but later they became dissatisfied. Their male possessiveness made them want to live with Su Jinghao alone.
But Su Jinghao was fickle and naturally unwilling to be tied to one man. Yet, having seen so many happy one-man-one-woman marriages in Hope City, Su Jinghao’s men were no longer willing to indulge her.
Beastmen, without the constraints of moral boundaries, quickly found other female orcs they liked, leaving Su Jinghao behind.
Su Jinghao, infuriated, thought those women with muscles from hunting were of no match to her. Yet, it turned out the beastmen’s aesthetic sense was indeed different from ordinary men.
They might not dislike gentle women, but they preferred those who could fight alongside them as comrades and spouses, sharing burdens and walking side by side.
Ultimately, Su Jinghao did not win back her two beastman husbands, and soon after, the last man left her for another true love.
Su Jinghao, in a daze, was abandoned by her men, ending up on the streets. With her sweet looks, she could still readily find work and soon did.
Unfortunately, Su Jinghao wasn’t one to endure hardship, and she soon lost her job. Over time, she found a few more jobs but couldn’t hold onto any for long.
Compared to this world’s female orcs, Su Jinghao was too delicate. Due to Shuangshuang’s influence, this world offered no preferential treatment to women, only equality.
This was a sought-after treatment for many women, but for Su Jinghao, who was used to depending on men, it was a disaster.
