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

Chapter 250 I Have No Regrets

Fortunately, the call was answered quickly, and Lin's mother's voice, trembling with tears, came through the phone: "Hello, is this Xiaoni? Is this Xiaoni?!"

Lin Ni wiped away her tears forcefully. Hearing her mother's voice, her heart immediately calmed down: "Mom, don't say anything, just listen to me."

An anxious female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, okay! Go ahead!"

Lin Ni tried to speak calmly, "I don't know where I am right now, but someone rescued me. However, my phone is about to run out of battery and shut down, so please don't call me. I'll send you my location later. If it's nearby, you and Dad can drive over to pick me up. If it's far, I'll find my own way back. Don't worry, just wait for me at home."

Lin's mother's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you safe now? The firefighters have been looking for you for eight days but they couldn't find you. They had a mission and just left yesterday. Your father is asking his friends to come and look for you."

Linni glanced at Yao and said, "Don't come with anyone else! I'm safe, as long as you come with Dad. Also, tell Dad not to call me; his phone is off and I can't reach him. That's all."

Lin Ni hung up the phone, then opened WeChat and sent her location to her mother. Looking at the location, she realized she was still on that mountain in H province in the south.

Lin's mother immediately sent her her location; she was in the nearest city. Thinking that she would see her parents in an hour or two, Lin Ni breathed a sigh of relief. She held her phone silently for a while, then said to Yao, "Yao, thank you for bringing me back."

Yao hugged her and said, "You said you wanted to be with me, and I won't accept your decision to go back on your word."

Linni felt a little sorry for him, but also a little amused. She hugged him and said, "If I change my mind, you can just bring me over there again."

Yao hugged her tightly: "Don't go back on your word."

Lin Ni nodded: "I have no regrets."

Yao looked at her happily and kissed her deeply on the forehead: "Let's seal this, you're mine now."

These were the words she had spoken to Tiantian, implying that if she went back on her word, he would take her away? Lin Ni smiled and looked up at him, seeing him gazing at her with deep affection. She couldn't help but reach out to stroke his face, but suddenly remembered something, and looked at him with a slightly dimmed gaze, saying, "Beast God, human lifespan is at most a fleeting hundred years. What will you do if I leave?"

Yao kissed her on the lips: "Don't worry, little girl, I can share my lifespan with you. As long as the Phoenix Realm exists, you will not die."

Linni asked in surprise, "Then I can live forever?!"

Yao nodded: "If you have several more cubs, I will nourish your body with the power of the phoenix. You will not only be able to live forever, but also remain young forever. The price is that the Phoenix Realm will be weaker, but it doesn't matter. As long as Chinese civilization shines again, the Phoenix Realm will become stronger as well."

Linni: Wow, I've found such a great husband, and he even comes with an immortality and eternal youth buff! Am I dreaming? I don't think I'd even dare to dream of something like this.

Lin Ni was overjoyed and decided to let Yao fly her out of the mountains to wait for her parents by the roadside.

Yao said somewhat awkwardly, "I just opened the passage from the Phoenix Realm, and now I don't have much divine power left. Besides, I can't use my strength here."

Linni glanced at him in surprise, and Yao continued, "It's just that my current beast form is too small to carry you. Should I carry you down the mountain?"

Linni: "Okay."

They were now halfway up the mountain, and because this part of the mountain was undeveloped, the path was particularly difficult to traverse. The path wasn't difficult for Yao, but he wasn't moving very fast because he had to be careful not to let the weeds and branches scratch Lin Ni. Lin Ni looked at Yao, dressed in his magnificent Hanfu, carrying her through the undergrowth, his skirt covered in grass clippings, and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache: "Your clothes are so beautiful, but they're so dirty. Can you change your clothes?"

Yao looked down at his clothes, which were indeed a bit inconvenient: "Would it be like what you're wearing?"

Linni glanced at the gray tracksuit she was wearing: "Can you transform?"

Yao nodded: "Okay." As he spoke, his Hanfu transformed into a gray tracksuit, exactly the same style as Lin Ni's, but new, unlike hers which was old and unrecognizable.

Linni kissed him: "You look handsome no matter what you wear!"

Her words clearly pleased Yao, and he beamed with delight.

Linni was happy to see his smile, but Yao was just too handsome and had such a great presence. This sportswear didn't quite suit his unparalleled elegance. After looking at him for a while, Linni asked, "Yao, could you turn your hair black too?"

This gradient color is so eye-catching; even a head of blonde hair wouldn't be this striking.

“Sure.” Yao nodded, then changed his hair color to black. His long, smooth, black hair, reaching his waist, was even better than Lin Ni’s. Lin Ni’s hair was as silky as satin, while Yao’s hair was a gleaming black. Lin Ni leaned against him, fondling him with obvious delight.

As Yao walked, he asked, "In the current Chinese world, do I need your parents' permission to be with you?"

Linni thought for a moment. Normally, she would definitely need her parents' consent, but they had been together for over a year. Besides, whether they agreed or not—if they knew she was going to leave this world, they probably wouldn't agree either. Linni said to Yao, "When you see them, just call them Uncle and Auntie, and don't say anything else. Let me talk to them."

Yao nodded, asking no further questions. The two descended the mountain, leaving behind the overgrown, rocky area at the foot. Lin Ni then stepped down from Yao's arms, and the two walked hand-in-hand towards the roadside. As they walked, Lin Ni pondered her next tasks. As she had said before, only ten days had passed; there was still plenty of time. After thinking about what she needed to do in China, she remembered her eight companions and four babies still remaining in the Phoenix Realm, and asked, "Yao, when we return to the Phoenix Realm, approximately how much time will have passed there?"

Yao said, "It's been a little over nine years. When I went back, it was probably in the spring of the tenth year."

The time difference is huge! Her Ye Yin and Ye Qing should be almost adults; tiger beasts take twelve years to reach adulthood, so they're practically grown-up boys and girls. As for the others—Ye and Bai, Yan, Xuan and Ling—she shouldn't worry about them. Her biggest worry is A Zhi and Tian Tian. Thinking of A Zhi's tears, she hopes he doesn't do anything foolish! And then there's the adorable, heartbreakingly good Tian Tian. She hopes they'll all be alright.
