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

Chapter 254: I pledge my life to save my life

Lin Ni couldn't argue with her mother, so she had to examine her once. At the same time, Lin Ni couldn't help but feel very fortunate that she didn't have any stretch marks from childbirth, and she hadn't taken any photos during her pregnancy in the Phoenix Realm. That was great!

After examining her daughter's body, Lin's mother started looking at the photos again, asking for details such as, "Why is this man who can turn into a snake holding you like that?", "Why are all the people in the photos men?", and "Why are these men so close to you?"

Lin Ni couldn't withstand her mother's interrogation and her answers were full of mistakes, ultimately leaving her with no choice but to remain silent. However, by this time, Lin's mother had already guessed what she had done in the Phoenix Realm. She couldn't believe her eighteen-year-old daughter was so bold and so...philandering. She wanted to ask her: What were you thinking? Could your little body handle it? Did you do right by Yao, who loved you so much? In the end, she pretended she knew nothing. It was fine if her daughter was philandering, as long as her man wasn't.

On the other hand, Yao and Lin's father were in completely different situations. Lin's father, a mature man who considered himself a workplace elite, put Yao through various tests. Yao was very straightforward; if he didn't know, he didn't know, and if he did know, he would say, "Xiao Ni said I can't say."

After taking a shower, Mr. Lin came out, drying his hair, and said, "Go take a shower. I'll teach you how to use the water heater."

While Lin's father was taking a bath, Yao had already figured out his intentions. After all, he was a phoenix who had lived for countless millennia, not some naive newbie. So Yao walked over and said, "Uncle, let me dry your hair for you. Little Ni loves it when I dry her hair."

Mr. Lin smiled and asked, "How do you bake it?"

Yao conjured flames with his hands to dry his hair, while smoothing his short, choppy hair with his hands: "Your hair is short, but it dries quickly."

Feeling the warmth on his head, Mr. Lin asked weakly, "Besides drying my hair and lighting a cigarette, what else can this fire do?"

Yao said, "There are many things you can do. You can roast all kinds of prey, and you can also boil bath water for Xiao Ni." After drying his hair, he transformed the flames into the shapes of various weapons: "You can even use them as weapons in battle. They're very useful."

Mr. Lin watched without saying a word.

Yao took a shower and deliberately came out wearing the red feather mini-skirt he had worn when he first met Lin Ni. Then, in front of Lin Ni's father, he changed into an outfit that was somewhat similar to what Lin Ni's father had worn during the day and asked, "Do I have to wear something different every day? Is it okay for me to wear this?"

Mr. Lin pursed his lips: "It's okay."

The two lay down on their single bed, and Lin's father asked again, "In your Phoenix Realm, are there many people as powerful as you?"

Yao smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm the strongest there."

Mr. Lin nodded. Whether he was truly from another world or possessed superpowers, it was none of his business. As long as his daughter liked him and he was good to her, then they could be together.

The next day, Mr. Lin drove back to his home in L City with his wife, daughter, and this suddenly appearing future (question mark needed) son-in-law. Lin Ni's family lived in a three-bedroom apartment on the sixteenth floor of a mid-range residential complex. They were an ordinary family, and perhaps because their daughter was easy to raise, and the couple were sensible, they lived a comfortable life. The extra room had long been converted into a study, so although it was a three-bedroom apartment, there were only two bedrooms. Back home, Mr. Lin couldn't let Yao sleep in his and his wife's room, nor could he sleep in his daughter's room, so he had to accept that Lin Ni and Yao would share a room.

Now that their daughter had returned safely, Mr. and Mrs. Lin went back to work the very next day.

Lin Ni and Yao went shopping and to the amusement park together. In the afternoon, after buying groceries, Lin Ni asked Yao to cook a feast to win over her parents. Lin's mother was indeed impressed by Yao's cooking skills. It was truly a case of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looked, the more interesting he became. She said directly, "Yao and Xiao Ni, why don't you stay at our house? Don't go back to that Phoenix Realm."

Lin's father had long been won over by Yao, so he kept his head down and ate without making a sound.

Yao smiled and said, "I can't stay here for long."

Lin's mother was extremely disappointed. Why couldn't such a good son-in-law come to visit?

On the third day, Lin Ni invited her best friend out shopping.

The two arranged to meet on the pedestrian street. As soon as her best friend arrived, she gave Lin Ni a big hug: "Lin Ni~! I'm so glad you're okay! You scared me to death, you know? Tell me how you spent those ten days you were lost?"

Linni hugged her best friend, then pushed her away and asked, "Didn't you say you twisted your ankle? Is it really all better now? I was thinking of coming to your house to see you."

My best friend nodded: "It was swollen for a few days, but it's basically healed now."

Lin Ni then said to her, "Shanshan, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Yao. Yao, and this is my good friend, Wu Shanshan."

Wu Shanshan then clearly saw the handsome man with waist-length hair next to her—she had initially thought he was just a female passerby standing nearby—and then she couldn't take her eyes off Yao's face.

Lin Ni nudged her: "Shan Shan?" Does the saying "beware of fire, theft, and best friends" really need to be applied to these two?

Wu Shanshan finally snapped out of her daze and looked at Lin Ni: "My God, Lin Ni! Where did you find such a perfect man? He's so handsome! He's even better looking than our idol! How can someone be so handsome?!"

Lin Ni chuckled: "He's the number one person on the Beastman Continent! Where in the mortal world can you find someone this handsome!" Before she could even speak, Wu Shanshan stared at her face and said, "And Lin Ni, do you have to be so curvy? You asked me out shopping and you're wearing such elaborate makeup! Can we still be best friends?!"

Lin Ni: I didn't wear any makeup at all?! She used to sometimes wear BB cream and lipstick, but after spending so much time on the Orc Continent, she had lost all interest in makeup. However, thinking that she did look much more refined, she decided to consider it makeup. She reached out and took Wu Shanshan's hand, whispering in her ear, "Shh! How can I be worthy of such a handsome boyfriend if I don't wear makeup?"

The two best friends walked hand in hand toward the pedestrian street. Wu Shanshan whispered in Lin Ni's ear, "When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't I know anything about it?"

Lin Ni said, "He saved me when I fell down the mountain. I was so attracted by his looks that I decided to repay his kindness by marrying him."

Although the two were whispering to each other, how could they possibly escape Yao's ears?
