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

Chapter 173 The plan cannot keep up with the changes

As soon as she sat down, Linni asked curiously, "By the way, this spirit is actually sleeping in the river, why aren't you like that, Ye?"

Night said, “I am a python. Although I like water, I spend most of my time on land. Spirit is a water snake. He spends most of his time in the water. If he stays on land for a long time, he will feel very uncomfortable.”

"Oh, I see." Lin Ni lay down with Yao in her arms, half-lying on him, and said to Bai, "Bai, my shoulders, back, and waist are a little tired. Could you give me a gentle massage?"

"Okay." Bai sat down happily next to her and gently pressed the spot she mentioned.

Linni rolled over helplessly, momentarily forgetting that the orcs of this world didn't know what massage was. She could only sit up herself and have Yao lie down to demonstrate what massage was.

Five minutes later, eight hands were groping Lin Ni's body... Lin Ni, annoyed, chased them all away: "Get out of here, all of you! I want to take a nap by myself! And don't come up to the second floor!"

Night said, "It's a bit hot this afternoon, let me hold you while you sleep."

Linni refused: "No, you all need to leave!" She just wanted to take a nap! She was so tired! After chasing them away, Linni lay down and fell asleep immediately.

Linni felt increasingly hot as she slept, and then she found herself back in that mysterious volcanic space. She floated above a lava lake that was neither scorching nor blindingly hot. The scenery around her was exactly the same as when she had seen it before: the gushing lava, and the occasional bubbling and bursting lava, were as dazzling as ever. Linni reached the center of the lava lake and slowly approached the large fireball in the middle. Passing through the invisible repulsive barrier surrounding the fireball, Linni heard that familiar heartbeat again. She reached out and touched the huge, dark red sphere. It still felt hard and warm, like an egg formed from a extinguished flame, with a faint red light flowing inside. As she stroked its surface, she pressed her face against it, listening to its heartbeat-like rhythm, and whispered, "Darling, how do you want me to help you?"

Linni opened her eyes and found herself still asleep in the tree hollow of the Beast Carving Tribe. She looked out through the ventilation opening and saw that it was already dark outside, but she could still hear people talking and chatting outside. There weren't many people, and they weren't very close, but she could vaguely hear females calling their partners to collect seashells.

Linni could only apologize to the seashells in the river: I'm sorry, you've suffered heavy losses!

Linni sat up in bed, feeling something sticky down there, and something was flowing out. What was going on? She'd only dreamt of a volcano and a fireball; was her body alright? She'd been with those guys just last night, was she already so dependent on men? Linni was questioning her existence when suddenly she smelled blood. It turned out she'd had her first period since laying two eggs! Linni frantically called down into the tree hollow, "Yao, are you there?"

"I'm here." As soon as he finished speaking, Yao crawled up from under the tree hole: "Xiao Ni, you're awake. Are you hungry?"

Linni looked at him a little awkwardly: "Prepare some hot water for me, I want to take a bath."

Yao nodded, clearly also smelling the blood in the air. Looking at her skirt, he asked uncertainly, "Are you on your period?"

Lin Ni nodded, blushing.

The arrival of this menstrual period disrupted everyone's plans. They had originally intended to stay in the Beastman Tribe for three or four days, but it seemed they would have to stay at least seven. Moreover, everyone had planned to spend a few days "with" Linni, but now they could only watch, not do anything. Furthermore, she hadn't had her period since becoming pregnant last autumn, and everyone naturally assumed she had become like the females of the Beastman Continent and no longer bled, so they hadn't prepared any animal hides to use as sanitary napkins. This truly caught everyone off guard.

After a flurry of activity, the people in the tree hollow finally managed to tidy themselves up and were able to sit down and eat dinner in peace.

Night asked uncertainly, "Will I still bleed every thirty days from now on?"

Linni nodded and said softly, "We humans have it from adulthood until we're in our forties, except during pregnancy and childbirth."

Bai scooped the meat into her bowl: "Lin, eat more meat to replenish your energy."

Yao asked in a low voice, "What does this month's period have to do with childbirth?"

Linni nodded, then put her hand to her lips: "Shh, just pretend I got hurt by accident."

Night said, "Isn't this wrong?" To be injured and bleed for no reason in their own home, as if they were some kind of evil male who would harm females.

Yan said, "I'll go hunting in a bit, and then I'll pretend to accidentally hurt myself, so no one will think it was you who's bleeding."

Linni looked at Yan, shook her head and said, "I don't want you to get hurt, and I don't want to see any of you get injured and bleed. You can hunt some game and put it in the tree hole. I won't go out for the next few days; I'll just stay here and make all sorts of delicious food."

Bai nodded: "This is more believable than a level nine orc getting injured while hunting."

Yan: I didn't think of that for a moment.

Ye suddenly laughed and said, "I used to think the White Tiger was stupid, but I didn't expect there to be an even stupider one here. A level nine male can get injured while hunting? Go ahead and try to fool the cubs."

Bai glanced at Ye speechlessly: "Hmm, the snake beastmen are the smartest! The smartest people on the entire continent are the snake beastmen, are you happy now?"

Night said, "Lin is the smartest! But I'm still happy that you said the snake-beastman is smart!"

Amidst Night and White's playful bickering, Linni and Yao finished their dinner together. By then, the area outside the tree hollow had quieted down; everyone had likely returned to their resting places, and the entire Beast Tribe exuded a sense of peace and tranquility. Linni and her four companions also returned to the second level of the tree hollow to rest. Knowing she wasn't feeling well, no one bothered her. Linni gently snuggled against Night, placed Yao's hand on her lower abdomen, and quickly fell asleep again.

Yan slept in a corner of the tree hole, at Lin Ni's feet; Bai transformed into two white tigers, one sleeping on the first floor guarding the entrance and Ye Yin and Ye Qing, and the other sleeping at the entrance on the second floor. As long as he could be with her and see her, he felt at ease.

When Linni woke up the next morning, she found a lot of food in the tree hollow on the first floor: various aquatic products, birds and young animals, and a pile of very beautiful pearls. Looking at Bai, who had already transformed into human form, Linni asked curiously, "Bai, you went out so early and hunted so much game?"

The pale-faced man looked somewhat helpless: "I didn't hit them. The food and pearls in the water were delivered by Xuan and Ling early this morning. They even said that you could ask them to find whatever you wanted. This wild boar cub was delivered by Luo, and the two brown eared pheasants were delivered by Azhi."

Linni: ...
