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

Chapter 165 A Warm Dinner for a Family of Seven

Yao was delighted by her appearance and knew she wasn't quite done yet, so he smiled and kissed her again: "Eat something first."

After helping Lin Ni get dressed, Yao carried her out of the small cubicle. Lin Ni was still a little embarrassed and hid in Yao's arms, not daring to look at them. Yao put Lin Ni directly into Ye's arms: "Let me see what delicious food Ye has brought back."

Night held Linni, whose skin was softer than animal hide, and kissed her rosy lips for a long time before he felt satisfied. Linni felt uncomfortable from Night's kisses, mainly because they usually made love for a long time, and this time it had only been ten minutes or so, so she was not satisfied. Therefore, she obediently let Night do as he pleased in his arms. Night held Linni and kissed her for a long time until the whole tree hollow was filled with the aroma of food before he released her.

Linni sat in Ye's lap, drying her hair and eating the food Yao fed her. Only then did she notice that Yan had already emptied her bathwater and brought back a large basin of fresh water. Linni's mind began to churn again; she was truly a woman of many contradictions—no, an immense one!

Bai then brought Ye Yin and Ye Qing back as well. It wouldn't do to leave them unattended, lest they wander off.

Lin Ni called Bai and Yan over and gave each of them a kiss. Such good men deserve a reward!

Bai and Yan returned her kiss warmly, and then the family of seven sat cozy around the stove for dinner. Yao fed Lin Ni a bite of the cooked food, then ate a bite himself. Lin Ni fed Ye, Bai, Yan, and the two small snakes raw food. Sometimes she would even feed the food Yao put in her mouth directly to her four companions. The dinner ended as dusk approached, when they finished the large basin of seafood Ye had brought back. Everyone was satisfied.

While everyone was tidying up, Linni washed her hands and face again. After combing her hair properly, she took out her pearl jewelry from her luggage. She hadn't expected that people in the Tiger Beast Tribe would not dress up much, but during her time at Wanren Stone Cliff, she discovered that the women there would also adorn themselves with flowers or animal teeth, and some would wear flower wreaths or necklaces. So, during those days at the Vermilion Bird Stele, she had them make her several sets of jewelry with pearls.

Linni wore a short-sleeved dress newly made from the silvery-white snakeskin of the night. She had chosen a set of pure white pearl jewelry: a crown made of large pearls on her head, a three-strand necklace of small pearls around her neck, and a pearl bracelet on her left wrist. After dressing herself, she said to her four companions, "Alright, let's go!"

Although she tried it on briefly when they made it for her before, she put it away afterward. This was the first time anyone had seen her dressed up so elaborately! All four companions looked at her eagerly, and Linni asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Ye came over and hugged Lin Ni, kissing her for a long time: "Lin, you look so beautiful like this!"

Girls always love to look good. Before, she was afraid of being surrounded by too many men and didn't dare let everyone discover her good qualities. But she found that whether she was shy and reserved or outgoing, people would still flock around her to woo her. Since she couldn't change that, why should she suppress herself? She'd dress up when she wanted to! She was just as good as she was! Anyway, her partner was strong enough; even those two level-nine singles had a waiting list. Those of you low- to mid-level single beasts, don't even bother with me! Lin Ni asked happily, "Does it really look good?"

Ye nodded emphatically: "It's really beautiful!" Then she leaned down and kissed him.

After Bai Dengye released Lin Ni, he hugged her and kissed her a few times. Lin Ni had no choice but to push him away: "Okay, let's go."

Bai reluctantly let go of her: "I want to kiss you again when we get back!"

Yan immediately said, "I want one too!"

Lin Ni wiped her face, took Yao's hand, and prepared to leave the tree hole. Seeing Ye teasing the two little snakes again, she couldn't help but ask, "Ye, are you going to stay and watch over Xiao Yin and Xiao Qing again?"

Night nodded: "When I went outside just now, I noticed that everyone was looking at the snake-beastmen with a bad eye. Let's be careful."

Linni looked at the two small snakes: "Why don't you take them with you? You haven't been to a bonfire party in ages."

Ye thought for a moment and said, "Okay!" He put the two small snakes into his animal skin backpack and followed Yao and Lin Ni out of the tree hole with Bai.

While Ye Yin and Ye Qing were dressed in their night clothes, Yao quickly leaned down and kissed Lin Ni's lips before pulling her outside. Lin Ni, being so passionately loved by four companions, couldn't possibly be unhappy; she followed Yao out of the tree hollow with a sweet smile on her face.

Outside the tree hollow, Xuan and Ling, along with a white-haired male beastman, were already waiting for them. Upon seeing them emerge, Xuan sincerely exclaimed, "Little Linni looks so beautiful today!"

Seeing the three male orcs looking at her with burning eyes, Linni smiled at them and said, "Thank you!" Then she looked at the white-haired male orc and asked, "Are you here to take us to the bonfire party?"

The white-haired man lowered his eyes a little shyly, smiled somewhat bashfully, and said, "Hello, Lin, I'm A-Zhi. Are you all ready to go to the bonfire party?"

Lin Ni was surprised to find that his shy, downcast smile reminded her of Feng! When he said he "looked good" at her at Humen, that's exactly how Feng looked to her. She was a little stunned: What the heck? Why did everyone she saw look like Feng? She'd thought Ahe's smile resembled Feng's before, but she hadn't found that resemblance in him since. Was she just missing Feng too much?

Seeing that Linni was looking at Azhi without saying anything, Yao nodded and said, "Yes, let's go now."

At this moment, Lan led Luo and the others over, nodded to Yao, and said, "The bonfire party will be held on the mountaintop. Let us take you up there."

Yao asked Azhi, "Azhi, is there a path leading up the mountain?"

Ah Zhi and Lin Ni were staring at each other when they heard this. Ah Zhi pursed his lips, nodded, and said, "Yes, please follow me."

Yao picked up Lin Ni and let her sit on his arm, then smiled at Lan and said, "Since there's a way up, we won't trouble you any further. See you later."

Lan nodded: "Okay, see you in a bit."

Ah Zhi smiled at Lin Ni and then led the group toward the rocky mountain.

Lin Ni, sitting on Yao's arm, turned to look at A-Zhi. He had white hair and black eyes, not as tall or strong as Feng, but he had the same wheat-colored skin as Feng and the same oval face. He didn't have phoenix eyes; his eyes were small and narrow, and he had single eyelids. He really did resemble Feng by about five or six points, including the way he spoke now and the way he pursed his lips earlier. Actually, she had rarely thought about Feng lately, but thinking about him now still made her feel a little heartbroken.
