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

Chapter 157 Lin's race is human.

Linni kissed his hand that was holding hers and said sincerely, "I'm so happy to be able to help you, Phoenix!"

She still wanted to call him Yao, but at this moment she felt a little inferior. She was afraid he would look down on her; she, so ordinary, was not worthy of someone as extraordinary as him. She decided to call him by his original name: Phoenix.

Yao gently kissed her fingertips: "Xiao Ni, I still prefer you to call me Yao!"

Linni hesitated for a moment: "Can I...?"

Yao gazed at her with deep affection in his handsome eyes: "Of course, I am your Yao!"

Linni opened her arms and pulled him into her embrace. Yes, this was her Yao! Her man! She'd found him, and he was hers now, regardless of whether he was worthy or not; she wouldn't let go. She said firmly, "Yes, you're mine!"

Yao smiled sweetly and reached out to hug her back: "Mmm!"

Ye felt a pang of jealousy watching the two embrace, as if the world consisted only of the two of them, with no room for anyone else. He glanced at Bai and Yan; Yan's expression was also quite complicated, while Bai was actually smiling at them. Ye couldn't help but think to himself, "Stupid tiger!" Ye pursed his lips and said, "Lin, is the matter of the Ten Thousand Ren Cliff resolved? Are we going to the Rainforest Swamp Kingdom next?"

Yao sat down again with Lin Ni in his arms, and handed her a chicken wing: "Let's eat and talk. You didn't eat much earlier, have some more."

Lin Ni smiled and took the food. Bai, Yan, Ye, Xuan, and Ling sat down in a circle again, with Ye and Bai sitting on either side of Lin Ni.

Xuan asked, "Lin, is the guardian stele of our vast North Sea called the Xuanwu Stele?"

Linni nodded and took a bite of the fruit Ye offered her: "Yes!"

Xuan and Ling exchanged a glance. Having witnessed Lin Ni awaken the Vermilion Bird Stele and Yao, they had no doubts about what Lin Ni said. Ling then asked, "So, do you know what kind of stele is the guardian stele of the Rainforest Kingdom?"

Lin Ni said matter-of-factly, "The Azure Dragon Stele! The four guardian beasts are the Azure Dragon on the left, the White Tiger on the right, the Black Tortoise above, and the Vermilion Bird below. Almost everyone in our tribe knows this."

"Almost everyone knows?!" the crowd exclaimed in surprise. What kind of divine tribe is this? Are they really that powerful?

Bai asked, both surprised and expectant, "Lin, you mean the Right White Tiger? Is that so—"

Linni looked at Bai: "Didn't I tell you? The right side is the west. The towering mountains are located in the west, and the guardian stele there must be the White Tiger Stele. And you are the only White Tiger that exists, so you must be the guardian beastman of the towering mountains."

Night, White, and Flame: "You didn't say that!"

Linni glanced at Yao, then smiled a little sheepishly at Bai: "Oh, I think I only said that the White Tiger is very powerful and represents auspicious beastmen, right?"

Bai nodded: "Yes!"

Lin Ni continued, "The White Tiger guards the West, belongs to the metal element in the Five Elements, and is the strongest in combat among the Four Symbols."

Bai exclaimed excitedly, "So I have such a powerful divine beast bloodline?! I'm so happy! I'm the strongest of the Four Divine Beasts in terms of combat power! Hahaha!"

His smug look annoyed Ye, who lashed out at him with her snake tail. Bai didn't seem to mind at all. He scratched his head and suddenly asked Lin Ni, "But didn't you say you didn't know what kind of monument it was in the Tiger Beast Tribe?"

Lin Ni explained, "I didn't know at the time! I only guessed that the guardian stele of the vast North Sea was the Xuanwu Stele after seeing this Xuanwu and hearing them talk about the guardian beastmen. Since the one in the north is the Xuanwu Stele, then the remaining three steles must be the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird. But all of the above were just guesses, without any real evidence. Now that it's confirmed that the guardian stele of the towering cliff in the south is the Vermilion Bird Stele, the others can be confirmed."

Ling asked curiously, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but how come knowing about the guardian beastmen allowed you to guess it was the Xuanwu Stele?"

Lin Ni said matter-of-factly, "The snake and tortoise in one body is Xuanwu, which governs the north and is one of the four guardian beasts. Why don't you know that?"

Okay, after listening to Linni's words, everyone felt like they were idiots. Everyone in your tribe knew this, but none of them knew.

Bai couldn't help but ask, "Why do you know it just by seeing the Black Tortoise? Didn't you think of the Four Symbols when you saw the White Tiger?"

Lin Ni: Why are you being so serious?! Can she say that the other three of the Four Symbols only exist in legends, and only the White Tiger is real? Who would immediately think of the Four Symbols when they see a White Tiger?! But seeing any of the other three will definitely remind you of the others. Lin Ni took a deep breath and could only smile as she said to Bai, "Because the White Tiger is more friendly to humans, he often comes to the mortal realm to help them, so I didn't think of it at the moment. But the other three mythical beasts don't usually appear in the mortal realm; they silently guard the four worlds from the heavens. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Bai nodded: "I understand a little now. So Lin's race is human? And your tribe is called Human?"

"..." Had she accidentally said too much? This Bai was so annoying! How did he suddenly become so clever?! Lin Ni glared at him, a little annoyed. Should she just confess to them? Anyway, Yao and Bai both knew she wanted to leave the Beastman Continent; only Ye and Yan didn't. Was a secret that half the people already knew still a secret? But then she looked at Xuan and Ling... those two...

Xuan and Ling were quite sensible. Xuan said, "Should we leave?"

Seeing Lin Ni's hesitant expression, Ling said, "No problem!" After saying that, she got up, picked Xuan up in a princess carry, and ran away. She ran until she was a kilometer away from the group before stopping. She didn't find a place to hide; she turned into a green snake and rested on the spot where they could see her.

Ye was quite satisfied with their tact: "Not bad, they're not so annoying now."

As Lin Ni was mentally organizing how to be honest with them, Bai suddenly spoke up, "Lin, if you don't want to say it, then don't."

Linni's gaze swept across the faces of Yao, Bai, Ye, and Yan, who all looked at her with approval. Faced with four people who loved her so wholeheartedly, she decided to speak up. Besides, two of them already knew, and keeping it from Ye and Yan any longer would be unfair to them. Linni smiled and slowly began, "The place I lived before could indeed be called the Human Realm. We don't divide our groups by tribes; our world is divided into many countries, corresponding to your tribes. The country I lived in is called Huaxia. All of us in the Human Realm are called humans. We don't have animal forms; in your words, we are all born males and females."
