Traveling through the world of beasts, my husband is super clingy

The days that followed were very dull. Shihua still came to look for them as usual, but did not do anything. When they were around, he would sit quietly outside or inside their adobe houses, listening to them talking or staring at Nanzhou in a daze, shocking the orcs and beast kings.

Nanzhou would occasionally take Lan Qingling out to see the scenery and look for new ingredients, but unfortunately, perhaps because the terrain was too high or the temperature was getting colder, there were no new ingredients near the Eagle Roar Tribe.

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and now there were less than ten days left until the Beast King Competition.

All the beast kings stopped going out and concentrated on absorbing various elements in the air in the house to ensure that they were in the best condition.

Nanzhou doesn't care, but Lan Qingling doesn't like to go out.

The temperature outside was getting lower and lower, the wind was getting stronger, and the fallen leaves on the trees had all fallen, forming a thick layer on the ground. The vegetation on the surface was turning yellow and withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Almost all the animals living in the wild had found hidden places and entered a dormant state, with only a few cold-resistant ones still wandering outside.

Lan Qingling had already put on the thickest clothes that Nanzhou had made for her. She spent her days guarding the fire or snuggling in Nanzhou's arms, while Nanzhou still only had a piece of animal skin wrapped around his lower body.

Lan Qingling discovered that all the beast kings, like Nanzhou, only had their lower bodies wrapped in animal skins, while the other males all wore a cloak-like top on their upper bodies and lengthened their animal skin skirts from short skirts to long skirts.

The choice of animal skin on the body is determined by the level of the talent pattern.

The higher the level of a male's innate pattern, the thinner the hide on his body, and vice versa.

The females' situation is even simpler, they only wear a piece of animal skin to keep warm, because males will not find extra animal skins for them to make clothes, nor will they climb up the jade thistle trees to pick jade leaves for them.

However, during the cold season, males will not let their females go out to work, nor will they threaten them with food from time to time as they do in spring and autumn.

Because in every cold season, the temperature outside will cause harm to the orcs with the first and second level talent patterns, and on the Longxuan Continent, almost all males are above level three, and almost all females are at level one or two.

Therefore, every time this time comes, the males will consciously take charge of the three meals a day for the females, and they only need to sit around the fire and ensure they stay alive.

The reason why the males did this was not because they had a sudden realization, but because there was a hard and fast rule on the Longxuan Continent that females' lives must not be harmed in any way. If any male disobeyed, the Beast God would punish them with life for life.

This is also the reason why after Haiyu offended Nanzhou, Nanzhou did not take action personally, but instead took her life indirectly.

"Nanzhou, is there really a beast god?"

Before Lan Qingling traveled through time, she was a staunch atheist, but after traveling through time... such outrageous things had happened, and she could accept the existence of any god.

"It's true. Whenever a new beast king is born, the beast god will bestow his blessing."

Nanzhou held Lan Qingling in his arms and half-lying on the stone bed, explaining to her.

"What kind of blessing is it?" Lan Qingling was a little curious.

When he mentioned this, the corners of Nanzhou's mouth twitched unconsciously, and then he said: "Just say a few words of encouragement to the Beast King, such as to work hard and protect Longxuan Continent."

"Is that all?" Lan Qingling couldn't believe it. She thought the Beast God would give her something practical, but he turned out to be so stingy.

"Well... that's it..."

"Then have you seen the Beast God?" Lan Qingling asked again.

"No, he never shows up, he only lends his voice."

Nanzhou shook his head.

"What does the term 'new beast king' mean? Aren't there only 100 beast kings? Is the new beast king ranked after the th?"

“No, the Dragon Profound Continent seems to be subject to some kind of restriction, and only a hundred Beast Kings can be born. If a new Beast King is born, it means that the old Beast King has died.

In addition, the newly promoted Beast King can only be ranked at the end regardless of his strength. If other Beast Kings are ranked after the deceased Beast King, their rankings will all move forward one place, leaving the 100th place to the new Beast King.

After the Beast King Competition, we will re-rank them uniformly."

After hearing Nanzhou's explanation, Lan Qingling nodded and asked him, "Is this also a rule set by the Beast God?"

"I'm not very clear about this. It is said that this has been the rule since the formation of Longxuan Continent. But it's strange," Nanzhou's voice suddenly lowered, and he almost whispered in Lan Qingling's ear.

"There are obviously a hundred Beast Kings, but since I started participating in the Beast King Competition, I have only seen ninety-nine of them, including me. I don't even know who the other one is or what rank he ranks."

"Ah?" Lan Qingling also whispered: "Isn't there a ranking list? How come I don't know who is on it and what rank they are?"

"The Beast King Ranking will automatically appear in the minds of all the orcs in the entire Longxuan Continent at the moment the Beast King Competition ends.

I am sure that there are only ninety-nine Beast Kings participating in the Beast King Competition, but the Beast King Ranking in my mind clearly tells me that there are one hundred participating, and no matter which ranking of Beast King I think of, a corresponding Beast King will appear.

This is what confuses me the most.”

Nanzhou frowned, somewhat confused as to what was going on.

"Didn't you ask other beast kings?"

"I asked, but they all said there were 100 beast kings participating in the competition. I remembered it wrong, but I counted and it was 99."

Nanzhou looked at Lan Qingling and spoke very seriously.

"Like this," Lan Qingling sat up straight from Nanzhou's arms, and then said: "You tell me from the first beast king, and I will help you remember the order and see how many there are.

It just so happens that, probably because I transformed too late, I don’t have the Beast King List in my mind yet, so you can help me get familiar with it.”

"it is good."

Nanzhou nodded and began to speak: "The first one is Shihua, the second one is Mingji, the third one is Yinlang, and the fourth one is...ah!"

Nanzhou suddenly covered his head and cried out in pain, his face turning pale instantly.

"What's wrong?" Lan Qingling turned around hurriedly, half-knelt in front of him, and looked at Nanzhou with concern.

Nanzhou didn't speak for a long time. Just when Lan Qingling was about to cry, he calmed down and said, "There is a force stopping me. As long as I delve into the ranking of the Beast King Ranking, my head will hurt like hell."

"Then forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. Whether it's ninety-nine or one hundred, it doesn't matter. As long as you are fine, that's all that matters."

Lan Qingling held Nanzhou's head and said with heartache.

Nanzhou buried his head in Lan Qingling's arms and nodded silently, but doubts arose in his heart. He had thought about this matter countless times before, and nothing happened. Why did he have a splitting headache this time?

In an unknown hall, the white-bearded old man was patting his chest to calm himself down: "Fortunately, I reacted quickly and almost let this brat find out the clues. But the Beast King List can't be transmitted to the little girl's mind. What should I do?"

The white-bearded old man wandered around in the empty hall. After an unknown amount of time, his eyes lit up, and a cold force emerged in his hand, which he threw towards Longxuan Continent.
