Lin Ni glanced at the large bamboo tube in Yao's hand. There should be two or three pounds of rice inside, more than she could possibly finish. Lin Ni picked up a piece of rice with her chopsticks and held it to Yao's mouth: "Yao, have a taste."
Yao ate it from her hand, then nodded and said, "I really like the fragrance of this bamboo."
Lin Ni fed Yao another bite, then turned to Yan and asked, "Yan, do you want some?"
Yan shook his head. They didn't usually eat cooked food, and this little bit of food wasn't enough for them, so he said, "I'll go hunting again later."
Linni thought about their appetites and nodded, saying, "Then you should rest for a while."
"Okay." Yan leaned against the corner and closed his eyes.
Linni turned to look at Tiantian again and saw him holding his little black and white teddy bear, Adi, adding firewood to the fire. Linni asked, "Tiantian, do you want to eat with us?"
Tian Tian shook her head: "No need, I've already had breakfast, and it's not lunchtime yet, you eat."
Lin Ni looked at the chopsticks that Tian Tian had put aside and said, "Pass those chopsticks over here."
Tian Tian handed over the chopsticks and asked, "Does the boss know how to use chopsticks?"
Lin Ni took it first, then handed it to Yao: "He will."
Yao first put the bamboo tube on the ground, took the chopsticks and wiped them clean, then picked up the large bamboo tube again and ate with Lin Ni.
Linni picked up a piece of mushroom and held it to Yao's lips: "Yao, this mushroom is so fresh."
Yao opened his mouth and ate, nodded, and then picked up a piece of meat and held it to Lin Ni's mouth: "This jerky is very fragrant, you should try it."
Linni also opened her mouth and ate.
The two of them would each take a couple of bites and then feed each other a bite.
Every day, I felt envious: I should have said I wanted to eat together.
After a moment of envy, Tian Tian said, "You all eat first, I'll go call the clan chief over. My father should be with my mother during childbirth right now, they're not free yet."
Linni nodded and said, "Since your parents are busy, let's go see them later."
Tian Tian nodded happily, "Okay." He had only stood up and taken two steps when he saw his grandfather leading a few people over. Tian Tian greeted them, "Grandma, Grandpa!" Then he turned to the two people who were still eating bamboo rice in the single dormitory and said, "Lin, eldest brother, my grandma and the others are here."
Yao and Lin Ni had just finished the last bite of rice in the bamboo tube. They put the empty bamboo tube and chopsticks aside, stood up and wiped their mouths. Yan also opened his eyes, and the three of them went out together.
As soon as they stepped outside, they saw a round-faced, kind-looking elderly woman with gray hair walking side by side with a robust elderly man. The beastmen of the Bear Beast Tribe were not as tall as those from the towering mountains; their males were mostly over 1.8 meters tall, while this elderly woman was only about 1.7 meters tall.
Every day, he would walk over and take the hand of the elderly woman, saying, "Grandma, this is Lin."
The elderly woman's face was full of smiles: "Oh, this little female is so cute! Where did you find such a beautiful little female, you little rascal!"
Tian Tian said with a smile, "The Beast God sent them to me! I took my brothers to the peach orchard to pick peaches and that's when I saw them."
The elderly woman patted Tiantian's hand, then turned to Linni and said, "Lin, in our tribe, we call all elderly women 'Grandma,' so you can call me Grandma too."
Tian Tian quickly said, "Grandma, Lin is my future partner, she should call you Grandma like I do."
The elderly woman looked at Linni and Tiantian happily, "Really? That's wonderful! Haha~"
Lin Ni smiled at her and said, "Hello, Grandma!"
Every day, she would hold Lin Ni's hand and call out unhappily, "Lin~~"
Linni looked at him: "Didn't you want to ask your mother if she agrees to us being together?"
The elderly woman quickly said, "What else do you need to ask! Why does a man need his mother's consent to find a mate?" Then she looked at Linni and said, "Is this the rule of your tribe? It's alright, his mother's mother is me, I agree!"
Tian Tian held Lin Ni's hand and said, "Lin, look, Grandma agreed."
Linni grabbed Tiantian's hand, which was about to start shaking again, and said to Tiantian's grandmother, "Grandma, we won't stay in the Bear Beast Tribe. If Tiantian stays with me, he will have to leave the Bear Beast Tribe with me."
Upon hearing this, Tian Tian's grandmother's expression froze. She looked at Tian Tian with great reluctance and said, "I see~~"
Tian Tian said somewhat sadly, "I'll miss the Bear Beast Tribe, and I'll miss Grandma and Grandpa, but I want to stay with Lin."
Grandma nodded, "Yes, Grandma will also miss Tiantian." Then she looked at Linni and said, "Tiantian, this little rascal, has been so well-behaved and sensible since he was little. He learns everything so quickly, and he's already a level six beastman in less than a year. Such a good boy! I really can't bear to see him leave the tribe. But males are supposed to live with their mates. He likes you, and if you like him too, then take him with you! As long as he's happy in the future, Grandma will be at peace."
Every day, after listening to his grandmother's words, he would happily watch Lin Ni smile.
Linni smiled at him before saying to the old woman, "Grandma, thank you! But it's hard for you to follow me around, and I'm a little reluctant to let you suffer every day."
Grandma Tian Tian said, "Little female, you're joking. Males are meant to suffer. If males don't suffer, are we females supposed to suffer?"
Linni: Grandma, what you said makes so much sense!
Tian Tian said, "Lin, although I don't like hardship, I'm not afraid of it!"
That's ridiculous! Who likes to suffer?
Tian Tian then said to everyone, "Grandma, Grandpa, Lin is a natural-born female, and she is very capable."
Grandma Tiantian looked at Linni with surprise: "Is she the legendary natural female? That's amazing! No wonder our Tiantian insisted on following her! You have such good taste, haha!"
It was the first time Linni had discussed this topic with an elder, and she was a little shy: "Grandma, you flatter me."
An elderly male standing nearby asked, "How many days does the little female plan to stay in the bear-beast tribe?"
Linni said, "I have some companions who came from Wanrenshi Cliff. They were attacked and injured by wandering orcs on the way. I will wait for them to arrive and rest for a few days before setting off again."
The old woman said, "You've come all this way! It's been such a dangerous journey. Where are you going? The rainforest isn't a place for wandering around."
Linni looked at Yao, who then said, "Actually, we have something very important to discuss with the guardian stele in the Far East. We also need to tell all the beastmen of the Bear Beast Tribe about this. Could you tell your chief and leaders together?"
Hearing his solemn tone, everyone looked at them seriously.
