Chapter 220 Whoever is lucky gets to have their baby
Lin Ni came out of the shower with a dark expression. Everyone was a little afraid to speak when they saw her face, because she usually never showed any displeasure to anyone.
Yao greeted her with a smile, "Xiao Ni, come and eat."
Lin Ni sat blankly at the dining table. Yao had cooked a huge feast: fried chicken pieces, steamed dumplings, stewed animal bones, and even a mixed meat and mushroom soup. Lin Ni's mouth watered at the sight. Just as she picked up her chopsticks, Yao sat down next to her and asked, "Would you like some soup first or rice first?"
Lin Ni tried to compose herself and glared at him: "What did you promise me?"
Yao filled a small bowl with soup and placed it in front of her: "You just got up, have a bowl of soup first." Then he looked at her and said, "I've promised you many things, which one are you referring to?"
Linni glanced at the men in the room. Everyone was looking at her silently, their expressions unreadable, except for Ye's slightly unfocused gaze. Linni pursed her lips and said, "You promised me you wouldn't do this. Last night, you..."
Yao was stunned for a moment, then reached out to pull her into his arms, but Lin Ni pushed him away. She suddenly looked at him with red eyes and said aggrievedly, "What do you take me for? How could you do this?!"
Yao looked at her, his face filled with confusion and heartache: "You are the person we love the most! Last night you asked for this yourself, only Ye..." As he spoke, he glanced at Ye.
"I asked for it myself?" Lin Ni's tears, which were about to fall, suddenly stopped, and then she looked at Ye.
Ye pursed her lips before saying, "You've mated with them so many times, what kind of baby can't you have? I only made love to you once, and you promised to mate with me during the day."
The conversation at night contained too much information—so many times, what kind of baby, and he agreed during the day. Okay, yesterday during the day he said it, and she didn't refuse. Wasn't she thinking he'd been worried these past two days? Lin Ni let out a long sigh of anger. She looked at Yan, who was the most naive, and asked, "Yan, what did I say yesterday?"
Yan said a little nervously, "You said you wanted to have a baby for us, but there isn't enough time for each person to have one, so whoever is lucky will have the baby."
Lin Ni's expression froze, and she asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Bai pursed his lips, sat down next to her, and explained, "You kept saying you wanted to have a baby for Yao, but Yao said you should have a white tiger cub for me because I'm the last white tiger on the Beastman Continent. If you don't have one for me, then this lineage will be broken again. But you said that wouldn't be fair to Yao and Yan. Then you said you also wanted to have a baby for each of us, but there wasn't enough time, so whoever is lucky will have a baby."
Lin Ni's face flushed crimson: What am I going to do? I'm too ashamed to face anyone! She lowered her head and drank the bowl of soup, calming herself down. Indeed, if she really had a chance to leave the Beastman Continent, then that day should be approaching soon. So be it. Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of A-Zhi and Tian-Tian. What would happen to them if she left? Lin Ni looked around and saw that A-Zhi had already transformed back into human form and was sitting silently watching her. Not seeing Tian-Tian, she asked, "Where's Tian-Tian?"
Bai said, "He left early this morning, saying he was going to find you a wedding gift."
"Oh." Linni nodded, then added, "From now on, no one is allowed to touch me when I'm drunk. I have to ask you about everything I say and do after I've sobered up."
Yao nodded: "I understand." After saying that, he served Lin Ni a bowl of rice, "Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
Lin Ni picked up her bowl and started eating. As soon as she took a bite, all her anger disappeared. These dishes were so delicious that Lin Ni's appetite was whetted. She then lowered her head and busied herself with cooking.
When everyone saw her lower her head and eat, and even put a piece of fried chicken on Yao's plate, they knew that she had calmed down. They exchanged glances, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down.
Linni glanced at the four men who were silently watching her eat, and then asked, "Would you like some?"
All four shook their heads. Ye said, "Eat more."
Linni knew they didn't like the food, so she didn't ask anymore. She and Yao ate their rice quickly and finished the food, and then they were a little full.
After they finished eating, Lin Ni rubbed her stomach, and while Yao was clearing away the dishes, A-Zhi suddenly asked, "Lin, what did you mean when you said there wasn't enough time for each person to have one child?"
Lin Ni paused for a moment, so what's meant to happen will happen?
Yan reached out and pulled Linni: "Why isn't there enough time? Is it because you're going to abandon us and leave the Orcish Continent?"
Lin Ni looked around. Yan and A-Zhi's eyes genuinely held a hint of confusion, Ye stared at her earnestly and persistently, while Bai and Yao's eyes were filled with deep reluctance and sorrow. Seeing Lin Ni looking at him, Yao suppressed his emotions and gave her a reassuring and encouraging look. Lin Ni no longer wanted to run away. She looked up at everyone and said, "I have a feeling that if I have a chance to return to the world I lived in before, it will be when I awaken and activate the four guardian stone tablets, and then awaken the Beast God. So I'm afraid that at that time, I might just leave without warning."
Yan asked, "Lin, do you really have to leave the Beastman Continent?"
Ye hugged Lin Ni tightly and asked, "Lin, can't you take us with you?"
Linni broke free from Ye's embrace and smiled at them: "This is just my guess, but I don't know the truth, whether I can walk, how to walk, or whether I can lead you away."
Yan said sadly, "But everything you guessed was right! You could guess that the stone tablet wasn't the Beast God Tablet in the Tiger Beast Tribe, and you could guess that it was the Vermilion Bird Tablet at the Ten Thousand Ren Cliff. You could even guess that I was the guardian beastman of the Vermilion Bird Tablet, and you could even guess what kind of divine bird Yao was, the phoenix..."
Lin Ni: I didn't even realize how powerful I've become! She looked at everyone solemnly and said, "I'll ask the Beast God later. If he can tell my parents that I'm safe and sound in the Beastman Continent, I won't leave. I'll stay and stay with you until we grow old, okay?"
Yan finally smiled with joy and hugged her, saying, "Okay!"
Bai lowered his eyes, his heart aching even more, because he understood her words: if he couldn't tell her parents the news, she would abandon them and leave. So even though she loved them so much, loved Yao so much, was she still going to leave?
Lin Ni broke free from Yan's embrace, looked at A-Zhi, and said, "A-Zhi, that's how it is, so are you still willing to be with me?"
Ah Zhi walked over and gently pulled Lin Ni into his arms with his uninjured hand. He rested his chin on the top of her head and said weakly, "From the day you came to the Beast Carving Tribe and looked at me with those eyes, I knew I couldn't escape!"
