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

Chapter 120 You May Lose Them

"Feng, Feng!" Lin Ni ran towards Feng, her vision blurred, unable to even see the road ahead, but she knew Feng was there. She wanted to wake him, the man who had captured her heart. She rushed to Feng, throwing herself onto the large tiger, crying out in a hoarse voice, "Feng, wake up! Feng..."

She wanted to see what Feng looked like, but she couldn't see anything. Everything went black, and she fainted.

Linni felt like she had slept for a very long time, and then had a particularly sad dream. She didn't know what she dreamed about, she just kept crying and then she woke up crying. She tried hard to wipe the tears from her eyes, but she couldn't dry them. Someone helped her up and wiped her face with a warm towel, which made her feel much better. Then Linni felt very hungry, and her lower abdomen also had a slight aches and pains. She frowned and looked up to see Yao sitting next to her, looking at her with concern.

Lin Ni felt an endless sadness in her heart, but she couldn't remember where it came from. She leaned weakly against Yao and said, "Yao, I'm hungry." Only when she spoke did she realize that her voice was terribly hoarse.

Ye poured a bowl of millet porridge, blowing on it several times before handing it to Linni. Linni took it with both hands, blew on it again, and slowly drank it. After several sips, she looked around: it was a cave about seventy square meters in size. Linni recognized it as the cave Yan had found in the Peacock Tribe. Two campfires were burning in the middle of the cave, cooking something. Apart from their belongings, the cave seemed empty. A white tiger and a black eagle slept beside her "bed" (here, "bed" refers to a straw nest covered with animal hides and blankets, the same meaning applies below), and there was no one else in the cave. Linni drank two more sips of porridge, then looked up and asked, "Where's Feng? Did he go hunting?"

"..." After a brief silence, Ye said in a deep voice, "He is dead."

She's dead. Dead?! Yesterday's scenes flashed through her mind, and Lin Ni felt so heartbroken she couldn't breathe; everything went blank.

Yao quickly took the bowl of porridge she was about to spill and set it aside. Then he used a fur towel to wipe away her tears. Lin Ni turned and hugged Yao, sobbing loudly, "Yao, I don't want him to die, I want him back, sob sob sob..."

Yao held her without speaking, only gently stroking her hair. The only sounds in the cave were her cries and the crackling of the burning firewood.

Lin Ni fainted from crying in Yao's arms.

When Linni woke up again, she was extremely hungry. She felt weak all over and her stomach was cramping. Then she smelled a strong smell of blood.

Yao helped her sit up and gave her a few sips of warm, thick soup, after which she felt a little strength return to her body. Lin Ni opened her eyes and saw a bowl of fresh blood in front of her. She forced herself to turn away, suppressing her nausea, and said angrily, "Yao, why did you give me this to drink!"

Yao gently persuaded, "Have some more."

Linni shook her head: "I don't want to! I'm hungry, let me have some rice."

Yao said, "You can eat rice. I'll cook some for you in a bit. You should eat some meat first."

Lin Ni nodded, and then Ye brought her a bowl of sliced ​​raw meat. Lin Ni frowned, looked up at him, then turned to look at the scene inside the cave. The cave was the same as before; Yao and Ye were beside her, while Baihu and Heiying slept by the bed. The difference was that there was only a pot of hot water boiling in the middle of the cave. Thinking of Feng, that Feng with the oval face and phoenix eyes, that shyly confessing his feelings to the only level-eight single beast in the entire cave, that Feng who flashed a row of neat white teeth at her, then blushed and lowered his eyes shyly—she would never see him again! The sorrow in her heart was overwhelming, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Yao whispered from the side, "Lin, don't cry anymore."

"I can't hold it in!" Lin Ni cried again, throwing herself into Yao's arms. Just then, a sharp pain shot through her stomach. Clutching her stomach, she sobbed, "Yao, my stomach hurts so much!"

Yao gently hugged her: "We used the power of the Beast God before, and the cubs in your belly didn't have enough energy to begin with. Your sadness is affecting their continued development."

Linni looked up at Yao in astonishment: "What do you mean by affecting their continued development?"

Yao looked at her cruelly and said, "You might lose them."

Lin Ni was startled and before she could speak, Ye anxiously said from the side, "Yao, help me think of a solution!"

Linni looked at Yao in panic. She had already lost Feng; she couldn't bear the pain of losing her children again! Even though the babies in her womb didn't move like fetuses in the human world, they had been in her belly for over 160 days, and were due to be born in just over ten days! Even if they were just two eggs, they were still lives she had nurtured! She gripped Yao's hand tightly: "Yao, what can I do to ensure they are born healthy?"

Yao looked into her eyes and slowly said, "You need to calm down and stop being sad; you also need to eat a lot of energy-rich food so that they can grow healthily until the day of delivery."

Lin Ni nodded emphatically, "Okay, I'll eat! I'll eat more!" Suppressing her nausea, she took the bowl of raw meat from Ye's hands. After a while, the raw meat oozed more blood, making it look even more disgusting. She squeezed her eyes shut, then opened them again, her eyes filled with determination and resolve. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily. The raw meat wasn't as bad as she had imagined; perhaps because of her pregnancy, she even tasted a hint of sweetness.

Lin Ni finished the entire bowl of raw meat and drank the remaining half bowl of animal blood. She then lay back down, but perhaps because she had slept too much, she couldn't fall asleep. Her stomach still ached slightly. She knew it was best not to get up and walk around at this time. Closing her eyes, scenes from yesterday uncontrollably flashed through her mind, and tears streamed down her face. This man who had accompanied her all this way, who had taken such good care of her, and with whom she had shared intimate moments—had he died right before her eyes? Or had she ended his life with her own hands…?

Linni forcefully wiped away her tears; she couldn't think about him anymore! Linni forced herself to clear her mind. If she couldn't stop thinking about him, she would start meditating on everything about the Beast God, first praising him, then praying, and then speculating about the Beast God. Finally, she slowly fell asleep again.

After four days of eating raw meat and drinking fresh blood, and sleeping and sleeping, Lin Ni finally stopped feeling any discomfort in her stomach. When she thought of her lost partner, Feng, she was still heartbroken, but she was able to control herself from crying.
