Even Bai Yan couldn’t hold on and curled up in Kui Mao’s arms for warmth.
The flas surrounding Xiao Jinsheng remained, and she was too lazy to move. She also didn’t want to be carried by a few n.
Instead, she pulled out a big basin from her space and sat inside: "Isn’t this easier than carrying ?"
"I think you just want to go sledding," Yu Yunxiao bluntly exposed her little sche.
"Let her play if she wants," Su Ye said, already tying a rope to the basin.
Once the rope was secured, he tugged at the other end. With a light pull, Xiao Jinsheng’s basin smoothly slid forward.
Seated in her sightseeing basin, Xiao Jinsheng enjoyed the snowy scenery along the way, even reaching out to scoop up a handful of snow.
If her basin veered off course downhill, Que Zelian would use a gust of wind to blow it back on track.
While Xiao Jinsheng’s thod was fun and saved the Beastn’s energy,
the others didn’t dare imitate it.
Without sufficient heat sources for warmth, sitting in a basin near the icy surface with the cold wind blowing would be unbearable for fem—and lethal.
Staying in their Beast Husbands’ embrace might consu their energy, but at least it was warm—a human-shaped heating pad.
On the first night in the Northern Territory, everyone reached the coal mine area.
Without a word but in tacit agreent, they chose to camp there.
Since they planned to return to their individual spaces to sleep, Xiao Jinsheng and her group especially chose a secluded, wind-shielded spot.
Each family arranged for one or two Beast Husbands to gather scattered coal mines.
Huaiqing and Shi Xie also collected four baskets of coal and were building a campfire when several hurried footsteps approached.
Leading the group was a woman, her face furious: "Just seeing her pisses off. She still has the nerve to talk to . Does she even have any sha?"
Storming over as Li lit the campfire, the woman only then noticed the secluded wind-shielded spot already occupied by a family.
She froze montarily, examined the spacious location, then smiled at Xiao Jinsheng: "Hi, I couldn’t find a camping spot. Can I trade so resources for half of this space to rest?"
"Isn’t there a cave ahead?" Xiao Jinsheng wasn’t refusing, just genuinely curious.
There was a huge cave ahead, and every family heading toward the coal mine area was choosing to rest there.
All the participants here added up to over two thousand people.
That cave could easily accommodate three thousand.
Xiao Jinsheng didn’t go to the cave because she planned to experience snow camping once before returning to the space to rest.
At the ntion of the cave, Ming Huaxin’s face twisted with disgust. She rolled her eyes: "There’s shit in the cave. I don’t want to sleep with shit."
"She’s the one who divorced Bai Yan’s new Beast Husband, the green snake," Yu Yunxiao whispered a reminder.
An evil female character number two?
Xiao Jinsheng’s eyes lit up.
She studied Ming Huaxin closely, noticing that even though her mood was foul, she didn’t seem as malicious as rumors painted her.
At least she acknowledged the presence of others and offered a trade of resources for a resting spot.
Xiao Jinsheng consulted with her Beastn in the group chat and confird Ming Huaxin posed no threat before smiling and nodding: "No need for resources. You can stay here directly."
"That wouldn’t be right. I looked everywhere, and apart from the cave, only this spot provides shelter from the wind—it’s practically a haven," Ming Huaxin said firmly.
She pulled a Five Stars Star Stone from her space, insisting on handing it to Xiao Jinsheng: "Your family took this spot first. I’m not staying for free."
For this competition, the lowest requirent for a female’s spiritual power was Five Stars.
So when Ming Huaxin insisted on giving the Star Stone, Xiao Jinsheng accepted it without hesitation.
"It’s fate that we et. Let’s get acquainted. My na is Ming Huaxin. What’s yours?" Ming Huaxin asked curiously.
After a day of travel, everyone was freezing.
Only Xiao Jinsheng, being pulled along in her basin by her competing Beast Husbands, looked like she and her family were on vacation rather than rushing.
"I’m Xiao Jinsheng," she replied with a smile, though her mind had already turned to the original storyline left by the system.
When she saw the plot ntioning a character nad Ming Huaxin, she nodded knowingly.
No wonder the na Ming Huaxin sounded so familiar—it turned out they were in the sa profession: evil female character specialists.
As the saying goes, when one villain falls, another villain rises.
Her scenes in the book were few, as she abused her five Beast Husbands, leading to their collective demise.
Once Xiao Jinsheng, the original evil female character, died, the protagonist Bai Yan naturally encountered a new evil female character to continue being her XP source.
Ming Huaxin was evil female character number two.
Quickly skimming the original text, Xiao Jinsheng saw that Ming Huaxin’s appearance wasn’t even set in the Northern Territory, nor did the original include any system-modified rules or competition plot.
But it was true Ming Huaxin had eight Beast Husbands, one being the green snake.
That green snake was nad Qing Zelin—a Beastman of the green snake species with Wood and Poison Dual Elent Superpowers—and he had awakened the bloodline of the Fierce Beast Xiangliu.
In the original story, Ming Huaxin, along with Qing Zelin, because of her dislike for Bai Yan, often made trouble for Bai Yan.
Now, however, the plot had completely deviated.
Qing Zelin, who was supposed to be Ming Huaxin’s greatest ally, had now beco Bai Yan’s Beast Husband.
Xiao Jinsheng looked at Ming Huaxin, who was furiously cursing toward the direction of the cave, and fell silent for a mont.
Ming Huaxin’s Beast Husbands had stern expressions as they tidied the shelter and boiled water in preparation for dinner.
Xiao Jinsheng could see that while Ming Huaxin and her Beast Husbands didn’t look happy, their emotions weren’t aid at each other.
The direction of Ming Huaxin’s rant was also toward the cave.
Xiao Jinsheng raised her hand to beckon: "It’s freezing here. Why don’t you co warm yourself by my fire?"
During today’s travel, Ming Huaxin had also noticed Xiao Jinsheng’s family.
From observing how Xiao Jinsheng interacted with her Beast Husbands, Ming Huaxin thought this family had a pretty good vibe.
At least the female seed like a reasonable person, which gave Ming Huaxin a positive impression.
Ming Huaxin walked over generously and pulled out a large bag of dried fruit from her space and handed it to Xiao Jinsheng: "I’m not going to warm up by your fire for free—this is dried fruit made by my Beast Husband Yi Le. It’s especially delicious. Try so."
"Here’s so red date and ginger tea heated by my Beast Husband Huaiqing. Drink it to warm up," Xiao Jinsheng imdiately handed her a big cup of hot tea as a return gesture.
In that instant, the two evil female characters developed a great impression of one another.
Ming Huaxin, being soone who couldn’t hold back words, now found a female she could chat with. She asked, curious: "Why didn’t you go to the cave to rest?"
"Because there’s shit in the cave," Xiao Jinsheng responded.
Hearing the familiar words, Ming Huaxin was stunned, then smiled and asked: "Are we talking about the sa shit?"
"If I didn’t misunderstand, we probably are," Xiao Jinsheng nodded.
In that instant, Ming Huaxin felt as though she had found a kindred spirit.
She moved her small stool closer to Xiao Jinsheng, excitedly saying: "All along the way, everyone has been fooled by that white flower. She irritates to no end. Finally, I’ve t soone normal!"
"You don’t even know—I just see her crying and making it look like I’m bullying her, and I get the urge to whip her hard." Ming Huaxin grew angrier the more she spoke: "When I discipline my own Beast Husband, what business is it of hers? Nosy nuisance!"
"We should talk things over—things can actually be resolved through communication," Xiao Jinsheng, speaking as soone who had been through it, advised.
"Talk about what? That cuckold’s already plopped a green hat on top of my head! My head’s greener than a field of rapeseed—I can’t not whip him!" Ming Huaxin raged.
"A green hat?" Xiao Jinsheng was startled.
