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

Chapter 57 Meet One, Love One

Lin Ni blushed a little when she realized she hadn't meditated in a long time; she'd been too busy lately! She'd definitely try harder in the future!

Night said, "How about I try to see if I can avoid hibernation?"

Yao said calmly, "At best, we won't be able to upgrade next year; at worst, our strength will decline."

"No!" Lin Ni quickly said, "I'm just a little reluctant to part with you, it's okay."

"Mm," Ye responded.

Lin Ni lay quietly without saying another word.

Both men thought Linni was asleep, unaware of the turmoil churning within her: No wonder Ye wanted to leave the place where they lived so well to join a powerful tribe; no wonder he was jealous of Baizhu and Baiji, yet never stopped powerful men from approaching her, and even kept urging her to find more powerful partners; no wonder he kept urging Yao to level up quickly... She thought he was annoyed that Yao was a burden to him, but it turned out he just wanted to live a better life, to be able to safely get through the winter without him by his side.

Tears fell silently onto Yao's arm.

Yao was clearly startled: "Lin, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine," Lin Ni said, choking back tears as she wiped them away.

"What's wrong? Lin? What happened?" Ye had obviously fallen asleep, but in a daze, he reached out to hug Lin Ni.

Linni tried hard to calm herself down: "I'm fine! You, you guys are all so good to me!"

Lin Ni, though speechless, felt heartbroken for Ye's silent sacrifices, and recalled the night she understood Yao's situation in the cave halfway up Yan Mountain. They were all like that, saying nothing, just silently doing things for her, giving for her, loving her in their own way.

Yao and Ye both held her.

Yao said, "As long as you're happy."

Night said, "You're so kind, of course I'll be kind to you!"

Lin Ni looked up and kissed Ye.

Ye also hugged her and kissed her passionately. He had been particularly envious when he saw her kissing Yao at lunch yesterday, and then she and Feng became lovers again last night... He also remembered that she had said before that she would only be intimate with them after she went to her new home, so he passionately pressed her down on his body. Suddenly remembering her injuries, he reluctantly let her go: "I will mate with you when you are better."

Lin Ni was both annoyed and amused. "Do you think I really want to do 'that' with you? I just want to reward you for what you've done for me, okay?" Although his mind was full of lust, he always prioritized his own body and wouldn't be like some people who didn't care about anything. Humph!

Lin Ni lay back down in bed and looked up to kiss Yao again. Only when Yao was stroking her body did she say with a mischievous smile, "Let's sleep, I'm sleepy."

Ye looked at her and said, "Lin, how about I lick it for you?"

She didn't really want it. Lin Ni blushed and slapped his chest with a loud "smack!" that echoed throughout the stone house. She gritted her teeth and said, "I said: Sleep!"

Only after the room became completely quiet did the other four males in the cave fall asleep.

The next day, when Linni woke up, she wasn't in Yao's arms again. She was actually a little disappointed. She had become a couple with Feng the night before, but they had slept together the night before. She was becoming more and more attached to him, always wanting to be with him, even if they didn't do anything. Even if she was being held in the arms of other men, just seeing him made her feel at ease.

Lin Ni didn't open her eyes. She remained silent and downcast for a while before hearing Ye's voice beside her: "Lin?"

Lin Ni opened her eyes and saw Ye looking at her with concern, so she smiled at him. Remembering how she used to cling to Ye every day during the summer and dry seasons, hmm, she really was a fickle woman who fell in love with every guy she met!

When Lin Ni got up, she found that all the shocking bruises on her body were gone. If she had accidentally bumped into something and gotten those bruises before, even with medicine, it would have taken almost ten days to heal. Now, it was all gone in just one day and one night? She didn't know if it was because of the hot springs she'd soaked in a few times or the legendary improvement in her constitution after mating with a male, but her constitution had indeed improved a lot! But—she had started her period! Fortunately, she had prepared spare animal hides. After Lin Ni tidied herself up, Ye brought her some meat soup while asking worriedly, "Lin, are you bleeding again?"

Lin Ni blushed slightly. Ye had already taken care of her during her period three times, so she wasn't too embarrassed. She nodded and said, "Yes. I don't feel uncomfortable this time."

Ye breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "That's good."

Linni experienced no discomfort during her period this time. She had been worried that if she came on the way to the Tiger Beast Tribe, it would be troublesome. Putting aside the inconvenience for herself, the smell of blood alone could pose a lot of danger to them. Now, the timing was perfect. In fact, she really had to thank Yan and the other eagle beastmen.

Linni drank half a bowl of meat soup and couldn't help but ask, "Where are Yao and the others?"

The stone house was quiet. Apart from her and Ye, no one else was seen, not even Bai Shu and Bai Ji.

Night handed her a roasted potato, but Linnie shook her head. She generally didn't want to eat roasted food in the morning, though she ate a more varied diet for lunch and dinner. Night put the roasted potato down before answering, "They've all gone hunting."

"Hunting?" Lin Ni thought of Yao's extraordinary bearing and ethereal demeanor, finding it hard to imagine how he could hunt. Could he even hunt? She recalled Ye's words to him: "Are you the hunter, or is the hunter hunting you?" She couldn't help but stammer, "Yao, he, he..."

“He volunteered to go,” Ye said. “Don’t worry, he’s already a level four orc, one level higher than Bai Shu and Bai Ji. He said he wanted to familiarize himself with the surroundings. With Yan, the flying orc, by his side, and since we’re near the territory of the Tiger Beast Tribe, there won’t be any danger.”

Lin Ni breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ye Chang's explanation: "That's good."

After eating a few more mouthfuls of meat soup, Lin Ni, feeling relieved, wanted to go to the trade fair to broaden her horizons. Although she was on her monthly period, since she wasn't feeling unwell, she didn't want to stay at home all the time—how boring! Looking at Ye, she said, "Ye, I've never been to a trade fair before. Let's go for a stroll down the mountain after breakfast."

Ye was a little worried about her, after all, the first time was too frightening, and Ye wanted her to rest at home. Lin Ni hugged Ye's arm and said coquettishly, "Ye, just take me to see it! You carry me down the mountain, and then I'll walk around the square once, and then you carry me back, I won't get tired! Okay!"

Night couldn't resist her coquettishness, so he hugged her and kissed her passionately: "Let's go!"

Linni and Ye arrived at the large square of the Tiger Beast Tribe and saw that it was indeed crowded with people and a lively scene.
