Chapter 246 Paying Homage to the Beast God at the Foot of Beast God Mountain
Time slipped by unnoticed, and before they knew it, it was the fiftieth day of autumn on the Orc Continent. And this day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, which Linni had carefully chosen.
The sky was like a clear, transparent azure gem, without a single cloud obstructing its view. The bright sunshine poured down on the earth, as if draping the whole world in a golden veil. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a slight coolness, but not cold; instead, it made people feel refreshed and invigorated.
Despite having a passionate night with Yao, Linni woke up early this morning because she couldn't sleep at all. Of course, neither could her partners.
When Linni got up to wash up, everyone was making breakfast for her. Not only Yao, who hadn't cooked in a long time, was cooking, but Xuan, Ling, Azhi, Tiantian, Baishu, Baiji, and even Ye and Yan all cooked. Regardless of whether it tasted good or not, they always let their partners eat the food they cooked, right?
While everyone was cooking, Linni went to get ready. She wanted to wear the long dress Ling had given her, because it was the most formal and dazzling dress. However, after changing clothes for a while, she ended up wearing the gray tracksuit she had worn when she arrived on the orc continent. The tracksuit was quite worn, with even the cuffs and pant legs a bit torn, but she felt that this outfit suited her best.
Linni took everything belonging to this world out of her backpack. She had originally planned to take the same things from everyone, but she was worried that too much stuff would violate the rules of this world. After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to take nothing at all. She even took off the pearl necklace she was wearing and placed it together with the dress sewn from strands of Yao's hair.
Then Linni had a reunion dinner (or perhaps a farewell feast?) with everyone.
The large table of food prepared by everyone basically included everything Linni had eaten since arriving on the Orcish Continent. Everyone used chopsticks to pick up food, although Yan, Ling, Ye, and Azhi were still quite clumsy, they tried their best to act like humans eating together. It was as if today was just an ordinary meal. They even discussed who made which dish and how to make it taste better.
No one said any sad things about parting. What they wanted to say to her had already been said on that passionate night they spent together.
Everyone ate slowly, taking almost two hours for breakfast. But no matter how slowly they ate, they eventually finished. While everyone was packing up, Lin Ni quietly went back and put the champagne-gold pearl necklace made from Yao's hair into her pants pocket. Yao wouldn't let her have his baby, so she couldn't leave him anything. But she really couldn't let him go, so she thought it was okay to take a little something. She was really sneaking around when she took it, afraid that the Beast God would discover her little scheme.
Once everyone confirmed that everything was ready, they slowly began to walk towards Beast God Mountain. It was a very slow process, but this place was so close to Beast God Mountain that it only took a little over an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
By this time, many orcs had already gathered at the foot of the mountain. They came from all corners of the orc continent and were now scattered in all directions. Beast God Mountain was vast, and those at its foot could not see each other, nor did they need to. They had come to witness the Beast God's return to the orc continent.
Everyone stopped at the foot of the mountain, and Yao asked, "Aren't we going up?"
Lin Ni shook her head: "Since Beast God Mountain is where the Beast God sleeps, we won't go up there." After saying that, she turned to look at the two super strong white-haired men who looked exactly alike, each two meters tall, standing to her right: "Bai Shu, Bai Ji, let's worship the Beast God here."
Bai Zhu and Bai Ji nodded and said, "Okay."
Lin Ni released her clasped hands from Yao's, but Yao pulled her hand back and said, "Little Ni, we've never worshipped the Beast God before. Let me worship with you."
Linni looked up at him, slowly pulled his hand away, and smiled as she said, "No, I will bow with Bai Shu and Bai Ji."
Yao wanted to speak, but Lin Ni put her hand to her lips and said, "Shh, after I finish my prayers with Bai Shu and Bai Ji, I have something to tell you."
Yao looked at her intently, and reluctantly let go of her hand.
Lin Ni walked between Bai Zhu and Bai Ji, grabbed one of them by the hand, and knelt down with them.
Bai Shu said, "Beast God above, I am Bai Shu, the tiger-beastman."
Baiji said, "Baiji,"
The two of them said together, "We hereby vow to follow in Lin Ni's footsteps for the rest of our lives, to love her with all our hearts, and to protect her with our lives!"
After saying that, he bowed down.
The three of them bowed down to Beast God Mountain, kowtowed three times, and knelt quietly for a while before standing up.
Linni pulled them down and gave each of them a kiss, then went on to hug each of her partners from left to right. She skipped Yao in this round of hugs, so when she finished hugging everyone and walked in front of Yao, he looked at her with a deep gaze: "Didn't we agree to come to the Central Forest to worship the Beast God?"
Lin Ni smiled at him, reached out and grasped the front of his shirt, then stood on tiptoe and gave him a deep kiss. Yao couldn't help but pull her into his arms, deepening the kiss. After a long while, Lin Ni gently broke free from Yao's embrace, then hugged him tightly again, pulled him to the front of the group, and pushed him towards Beast God Mountain: "Yao, go ahead."
A hint of confusion flashed in Yao's eyes: "Where am I going?"
Linni looked up at the sun; it was still a little slanted, but noon wasn't far off. She smiled at Yao and said, "Go up Beast God Mountain, and I'll tell you what to do."
Yao glanced at everyone, then looked at Lin Ni and asked, "Aren't you coming with me?"
Linni smiled and shook her head: "What I said is all correct, isn't it?"
As Yao and everyone else nodded, Linni reached out and nudged Yao again: "Go on. Don't turn around, listen to what I have to say to you from behind."
Yao nodded trustingly and turned to walk towards Beast God Mountain.
