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

Chapter 133 Who is Suzaku?

Yan suddenly asked, "Then what about the Cursed Land? Is it in the vast North Sea?" As if afraid they hadn't seen it, he gestured to the Cursed Land across the pond.

Ling glanced over there and said, "Yes, I've always felt it, but it seems to have gotten worse last year."

Linni asked curiously, "So how did you deal with it?" She wondered, "Can you really burn it in the vast North Sea?"

Xuan smiled and replied, "We can remove it by activating the power of the guardian stone tablet with our blood."

"Your blood?" Bai looked him up and down. "Is your blood that potent?"

"The Guardian Stele?" Lin Ni repeated. In the towering mountains and sheer cliffs, everyone calls the stele the Beast God Stele. So, in the vast North Sea, it's called the Guardian Stele?

In response to their differing questions, Xuan smiled and nodded to Lin Ni, saying, "Yes, aren't there guardian stone tablets at the four ends of the Beastman Continent? We activated the guardian stone tablet of the vast North Sea."

Yao asked, "I don't think all orc blood is suitable, right? Are there any conditions?"

Xuan smiled and nodded: "Only we can do it. Actually, activating the guardian stone tablet is the mission of the guardian beastmen, and true guardian beastmen must become celestial beastmen. But now there are no celestial beastmen left in the vast North Sea, so we can only take on this role by force. Moreover, because our inheritance was interrupted once, our father beast was unable to guide our growth, so there are some things we don't understand. Later, we tried many times before we found the right way."

Lin Ni nodded: "I understand, thank you!" So the tradition of the towering mountains must have been broken long ago, which is why so many troubles have arisen.

Linni returned to the cave, lay on the bed, and began to sort out her thoughts.

Since it wasn't dinner time yet, Yao, Bai, and Yan sat by the bedside watching over her, while Ye found a piece of animal hide to sew a leather satchel. He planned to put Ye Yin and Ye Qing in the satchel and carry it when he left the cave and continued his journey.

Lin Ni looked at the four men before her. Could they be the partners arranged for her by the Beast God? They were people she had met herself, people she liked, but if there really was a powerful force orchestrating things behind the scenes, this was terrifying! She didn't want it to be like this. And what about Feng? Even if he wasn't arranged by the Beast God, did he have to die?

Wait a minute, Bai is a White Tiger, and Feng, as Bai's brother from the same parents, should also possess White Tiger blood. Could there be some kind of competition between them? Is Feng suppressing Bai because he was born first? Bai always disliked Feng and opposed him in various ways, which now seems very illogical. And after Feng's death, when Bai regained consciousness, she said she felt something was binding her power, but now that constraint is gone. In that case, could she interpret it as: the guardian beastmen of the towering mountains have completed their competition, and Feng was eliminated because he couldn't withstand the invasion of evil forces?

So, would Yan and Yao also have this kind of relationship? -- Unlikely.

What about that night?

Regardless, they seem to be among the most outstanding in the Beastman Continent. Xuan, Ling, and Bai are certainly very powerful. So, although the Beast God chose these partners for him, they are the best beastmen in the four regions. Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so resistant anymore. Besides, just because the Beast God chose them and placed them before him doesn't mean he has to become their partner! Yes, that's it!

Lin Ni looked at Yao. Yao was her favorite man. She loved him dearly for both his personality and appearance. But when would he regain his strength? He always seemed to be the weakest, but she truly wished he were the strongest!

Seeing her looking at him, Yao smiled at her and asked, "What's on your mind, Lin?"

Linni sat up in bed and asked, "Yao, are you really the messenger of the Beast God?"

Yao looked at her and said, "If Lin says so, then so be it."

Linni tilted her head: "Now I'm a little unsure again. What do you think?"

Yao thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't have any feelings about that."

Linni then asked, "If you are not the messenger of the Beast God, is it possible that you are the guardian beastman of the Ten Thousand Cliffs?"

Upon hearing this, Bai and Ye glanced at Yao's golden-red feathered beast-patterned skirt. Bai thought to himself: You know what, it's really possible.

Ye thought to herself: Lin, you're really good at guessing.

Yan: I have no idea.

Yao said, somewhat bewildered, "I don't know."

Linni pressed further, "Is it possible that your beast form is the Vermilion Bird?"

"What kind of beastman is Zhuque? I've never heard of it," Yan asked curiously.

Lin Ni looked at Yao, who looked both bewildered and thoughtful, and said to everyone, "The Vermilion Bird is a legendary mythical beast."

"A mythical beast?!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Yan said, "We've only heard of Beast Gods, not Divine Beasts."

Linni said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it! Like Xuanwu, have you ever heard of it?"

Bai and Ye shook their heads: "No, we have never heard of Xuanwu, and there are no legends about divine beasts on the Beastman Continent."

Lin Ni: "That's because you've all lost your lineage! Like those two outside, they're clearly the same Xuanwu, but they insist on calling themselves a tortoise beastman and a snake beastman. Since they're two different races of beastmen, why do they claim to be one? Isn't that a contradiction? It's obviously because their lineage was lost!" She raised her voice so that Xuan and Ling outside the cave could hear her.

They really did hear it: We are Xuanwu?

Ling: "No, I am not Wu, I am Ling!"

Xuan: "But what Xiao Linni said makes a lot of sense!"

Ignoring them, Lin Ni lowered her voice and said, "There are many mythical beasts in legends, but there is only one that guards the north and belongs to the water element: Xuanwu. They are a combination of snake and tortoise."

Night and White, Flame: "Oh—" They really are.

Yao looked at Lin Ni and asked, "Then what about Suzaku?"

Lin Ni looked at Yao and said, "The Vermilion Bird is the divine beast that guards the south, and it belongs to the element of fire."

Ye and Bai suddenly looked at Yao: Then he really could be!

Yan agreed, saying, "Yao's partner mark is a flame, and his aura is also very similar to a flame. Also, everyone else's beast god power is white, but his is red. If that's the case, he really has a high chance of being some kind of Vermilion Bird!"

Yao tilted his head and asked, "Is the Vermilion Bird a bird-like beastman? What does it look like?"

Lin Ni thought about what the legendary Vermilion Bird looked like: "The Vermilion Bird is shaped like a flying bird. I only know that the Vermilion Bird is a red and very powerful firebird, but I don't know anything else."

Yao nodded: "A red firebird, then I really might be one." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and a flame condensed in his palm. He controlled the flame to make it bigger and smaller, and finally stopped at the tip of his index finger: "After you gave birth, I dared to boldly mobilize the energy in my body, and then I discovered that I could control flames."
