My husband is too wild, I need to go home and find my mom.

Chapter 114 I will definitely do my best to help you, even if the result is losing you.

Linni looked up at him. Although it was late at night, in the pitch-black tree hollow, she could only meet his eyes by feeling: "Do you remember the night we became lovers?"

Yao kissed her head and said, "I remember."

Linnie asked excitedly, "So do you know how we got there?"

Yao shook his head: "I don't know."

Linni was disappointed. Did he forget after falling into a deep sleep, or did he already not remember at the time? Undeterred, she pressed on, "Then what else do you know?"

Yao said slowly, "I know your name is Lin Ni. You gave me this name, and I want to stay with you forever."

Linni hugged him back: "You said back then: You forgot your own name, and no one in the world remembers your name."

Yao responded softly, "Mm!"

Linni couldn't control the disappointment spreading through her heart. Feeling so down that she didn't want to speak, she heard Yao ask softly, "If you find a way to leave, will you leave the Beastman Continent?"

Will I leave? Lin Ni asked herself, her heart heavy. She loved Yao deeply. Leaving this world, she knew she would never find someone as good as him, someone who loved her so much. Not to mention Yao, she'd likely find it hard to meet men as good as Ye, Bai, Feng, and Yan. But life wasn't just about love. Returning to her original world might mean struggling with studies and work, but there were still her parents, relatives, and friends there. She couldn't bear to think about how her parents must have suffered after losing their only daughter. She always knew they raised her when she was young, so she had to take care of them in their old age. Although they were still young and didn't need her support, she shouldn't just lose contact with them. At least let them know she was alright. If they were all well, wouldn't she be able to stay and live peacefully on the Beastman Continent?

Linni felt a little lost. Everything on the Beastman Continent seemed like a beautiful dream, surrounded by handsome men, each one adoring her. And Yao, it was as if he had grown up exactly as she wished; he hadn't even left yet, and she already felt a little reluctant to part with him.

Linni was still thinking when Yao said, "If you leave the Orc Continent, I might not be able to go with you." Yao hugged her tightly, and Linni could even feel his sadness, but he continued, "As long as you want, I will do my best to help you, even if the result is losing you."

"Yao." Lin Ni buried her head in his chest, feeling both touched and sad.

Yao said, "Are you not telling them because you're afraid they'll stop you from leaving because they don't want you to go?"

“Yes!” Lin Ni nodded heavily. “I don’t dare say. If they find out, will they stop me or help me? I don’t dare to gamble, so let’s not say anything.” Her mother had told her: People are inherently selfish; don’t gamble on human nature, and never underestimate the evil in human nature. So she didn’t want to gamble. Yao already knew, but Ye and the others didn’t, so it was better not to test them.

Yao: "Xiao Ni, say what you want to say, or don't say what you don't want to say."

Linni looked up and kissed Yao: "Yao, thank you!"

Yao returned her kiss: "Linni, I love you!"

This wasn't sweet talk during an intimate moment; it was a heartfelt confession, a way of telling her that he was willing to do anything for her.

The two didn't speak again, but hugged each other tightly and slowly fell asleep.

The three beast-like males in the lower tree hollow—Silver Snake, Black-striped Yellow-haired Tiger, and Black Eagle—also softened their breathing and gradually drifted off to sleep. They couldn't understand what the others were saying, but after listening to their partners' intimate conversations with Yao for so long (which could be considered eavesdropping?), they probably knew basic words like Yao, Xiao Ni (whom they thought was Lin's pronunciation), I, and you, and could guess what they were saying from their tone of voice. Tonight's tone was a bit melancholic; perhaps they were talking about their former tribe? Since it was something unhappy, they figured if she didn't want to talk about it, so they went to sleep.

The only one sleeping in human form was Bai. After a long while, he opened his large eyes, his bright, star-like eyes sparkling with determination. He could actually understand what they were saying. From the time he met Lin Ni, she had consciously taught him over those ten days. At that time, he could basically understand her everyday speech, but he couldn't speak then, so he couldn't respond. Later, after Yao appeared, they often whispered to each other in that language, basically during and after every intimate moment. Gradually, he understood everything. He just never showed it. Whether she preferred Yao or simply preferred whispering, it was up to her. But tonight, he heard it. She wanted to leave the Beastman Continent? Even Yao might not be able to go with her? Then he…

Bai's heart ached terribly. He clenched his fists tightly, and his abnormal breathing caught Feng's attention. Feng opened his eyes and glanced at Bai. Bai looked back at him, then loosened his fists, pretending as always that he knew nothing, closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and forced himself to fall asleep.

Perhaps because the light in the tree hollow was too dim, Lin Ni woke up particularly late today. When she got up, Ye and the others had already brought back two fat pigs and several pheasants, and had also traded them for a lot of wheat and millet. They had even cooked a pot of wheat porridge. However, Lin Ni didn't want to eat wheat porridge, so she had Bai fill a small bowl to fill her stomach, and cooked the rest with sorghum and millet into a mixed grain porridge.

Linni ate her wheat porridge and began teaching Yan and Feng how to render lard. The lard-fed pigs looked a lot like the free-range pigs raised in the countryside, and they had quite a bit of fat. Linni had them cut the lard-fed pig's fat into small pieces and simmer them in a stone pot over low heat. She also had Yao chop up the little lean meat from the lard-fed pig to make dumpling filling, and cut the pheasant into pieces to marinate. Under Linni's guidance, Bai put the wheat into the stone pot and made a stone mortar to grind the wheat into flour. Because the grains were harvested last year and had already been dried, the result was dry wheat flour.

While looking at the oil pan, Ye asked, "Lin, are you planning to stay a few more days before leaving the Golden Pheasant Tribe?"

“Uh…” Linni thought for a moment, “Let’s leave tomorrow.” She looked at Ye, “Let’s go to the Peacock Tribe where Ye used to live first, and then decide whether to wait there until I give birth before leaving.”

Everyone silently calculated the days in their minds; they would give birth in about ten days when they arrived at the Peacock Tribe.

Bai asked, "How many days' journey is it to the next tribe after the Peacock Tribe? What tribe is it?"

Ye thought for a moment and said, "About ten days, it's the Vulture Beast Tribe."

After hearing this, everyone felt that giving birth in the Peacock Tribe was the best choice: they had lived there before and had some understanding of the situation, the journey wasn't too far, and it would be suitable to rest for a few days before giving birth. Going to the next tribe would be a bit rushed in terms of time.
