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

Chapter 252 Is this Yao from northern Myanmar?

Yao glanced at Lin Ni. Since Lin Ni had decided to leave, she naturally needed to explain things to her parents. So he said, "Mom, turn my phone back on. I need to tell you what's happened to me these past few days."

Lin's mother turned on the phone for her, and Lin Ni showed her parents the photos she had taken, briefly recounting her experiences in the Phoenix Realm of the Beastmen Continent. Of course, she dared not mention that she had found so many men there and had even fathered several children.

Linni told her parents, "After I fell down the mountain that night, I ended up in a place called Phoenix Realm, the Beastman Continent. There, I met Yao, and he helped me find clues to go home. You see, the people on this continent can transform into beast forms, and they are very strong fighters. Yao is the high priest there, and these are all his subordinates."

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why she was always with this group of men. She would quickly swipe away from some of the more suggestive photos, but let them take a second look at the ones that mainly featured scenery.

Linni continued, "Later we finally found a clue to our way home, so we rushed back. But I want to continue living with Yao in the Phoenix Realm, so I might only be able to come back once every few years, and we can't see each other during that time. You don't need to worry about me."

Lin's mother looked skeptical: "Even if you marry and move abroad, you might not be able to come back every few years. It's not that easy to come back from another world. Are you kidding me?"

Lin Ni lied through her teeth: "Yao is the high priest of the Phoenix Realm. He has mastered the method to travel between the two realms, so he was able to come back."

Mr. Lin suddenly said, "Did you Photoshop these photos in the last few days? Just to fool your parents? This Yao isn't from northern Myanmar, is he?"

Lin Ni: "Dad, Mom, why don't you believe me? I need plastic surgery, breast augmentation, and photo editing—where would I find the time for all that?" Then she added, "Think about it, this is the middle of nowhere, we don't have a car, how could I disappear? The firefighters searched for ten days and couldn't find me, do you think that's possible? I need to turn on my computer to edit photos, right? You haven't been able to reach me for so many days, have you asked the police to try and track my phone's location? Can they find me?"

Mr. Lin didn't say anything, he was really stunned by Yao's flames.

Lin's mother glanced at the two people in the back seat of the car several times with suspicion, and said, "What you're saying is too unbelievable. Your father and I really can't believe it. Give us some time, and don't tell anyone. What if they think you're mentally ill and arrest you..."

Lin Ni was both amused and exasperated: "So you all thought I was sick, huh? Never mind, let's go back to the city first."

Lin Ni sighed, leaning against Yao's chest to make herself more comfortable. Yao naturally wrapped his arm around her. Ignoring her parents' complicated looks, Lin Ni thought for a moment before saying, "After we get back to the city, we'll go to the police station to report that I got lost. They've been looking for me for days, so we should thank the police officers and firefighters. After resting for one night, we'll go back to L City. I want to continue my university studies. Since I got accepted, I want to experience university life. I'll take leave or suspend my studies after October, and Yao and I will leave in early November. We'll go to Beijing to see Tiananmen Square and watch the flag-raising ceremony during National Day. I hope that after I leave, our country will become even more prosperous and powerful. You should also live well; I will definitely come back to see you in the future."

After she finished speaking, Mr. and Mrs. Lin suddenly began to believe their daughter. They felt that she had grown up and was no longer the little girl who had just finished the college entrance examination and knew nothing.

Lin's mother was a little sad and asked with great reluctance, "Are you really leaving?"

Lin Ni nodded: "Actually, I hesitated for a long time. If I stayed, you would be here, I could live with my family, and I would have many good friends. I could continue my university studies, find a good job, and then what? Would I find another man to marry and have children? Dad, Mom, Yao is really good to me. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Besides him, there's no other man who is so good to me and loves me so much. And he's the high priest there; I can live there for hundreds of years! Isn't that better than working and having children here? The only thing I'm reluctant to leave is you. You raised me when I was young, and I'm sorry I can't be with you in your old age. Actually, I insisted on coming back because I was afraid you would worry too much about me. Now you can see that I'm fine, really. I want to seize my own happiness."

Mr. and Mrs. Lin exchanged a glance, then Mrs. Lin turned back and patted Lin Ni's hand, saying, "Mom understands. We, as a couple, will grow old together; we don't need your company. We also want you to find your own happiness, not to break you up. But regarding taking a break from school, there's no rush to make a decision. You're still young; you can finish university before going to Phoenix Realm, right?" She then looked at Yao: "Yao, can you wait four years for our little Ni? After she graduates from university, we'll wish you all the best, wherever you want to live."

Yao looked at Lin Ni. He respected her wishes. If she wanted to stay and live there for four years, he would have to return to the Phoenix Realm first and wait until sixty years later to see if he had enough divine power to open a passage between the two realms before taking her away. The future was full of uncertainty, and there was a hint of unease in his eyes.

Lin Ni smiled at Yao. Regardless of Yao's thoughts, she herself was unwilling. Eighty-one days was equivalent to more than nine years. If she waited until she graduated from university to leave, who knew how many years would have passed in the Phoenix Realm, and Ye and the others might all be dead.

So Linni firmly shook her head and said, "No."

Lin's mother turned to look at her: "Why are you so stubborn? Look, Yao didn't object."

Lin Ni lowered her head and remained silent, creating a tense atmosphere in the car.

Mr. Lin said, "Let's not talk about that now. Let's talk about it slowly when we get home. We're not leaving right away, are we?"

Lin Ni nodded and said, "Okay."

Lin's mother glared at Lin's father: "You're the only one who knows how to be a good person."

Mr. Lin laughed and said, "You were so worried about your daughter that you stayed in the hospital for a few days before she came back. Now that she's back, be happy for a few days! Your daughter is grown up and will eventually get married. The important thing is whether she marries the right person!"

Lin Ni muttered softly, "Yao is definitely the right person." Then she looked at her mother and said, "Mom, look, I'm fine. Don't worry about me anymore."

Mr. Lin said, "You don't know, when she received your call at the hospital, she was so excited that she could hardly speak. She just kept crying and almost scared the nurses who were making their rounds to death."

Lin's mother said a little shyly, "I'm fine, I'm just too happy."

Lin Ni hugged her mother from behind and said, "Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you."

Lin's mother patted her hand and didn't say anything more.
