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

Chapter 101 This is not the Beast God Stele (End of Volume 1)

Today's spring outing ended happily, and everyone returned home satisfied. The itinerary to the Myriad Cliffs was finalized: they would travel by flying beastmen to the foot of the great waterfall where Ye and Linni had previously lived, as that was the boundary between the towering mountains and the Myriad Cliffs. They would rest there for a few days before slowly making their way to the southernmost part of the Myriad Cliffs. Along the way, they would make contact with the tribes there, hoping to find some relevant clues. Linni had calculated the time; her plan was to give birth at the Peacock Tribe where Ye had previously lived, but if something went wrong and she missed the Peacock Tribe, she could simply find a small tribe to stay in and give birth. Although there were few of them, they were all highly skilled, so they weren't afraid of any danger, and with abundant food in spring, they could find food wherever they went.

With the itinerary set, everyone needed to prepare for departure: first, luggage—it was still chilly in spring, so they needed to bring enough warm clothes and bedding; then, tableware—only for Linni and Yao; Linni said she could carry these things in her own backpack. The men: No way! How can we let the women carry luggage?

Feng said, "We can make a big backpack and let Bai carry all the luggage, so he won't have to fight. Bai can be in charge of carrying the luggage, Yao can take care of Lin Ni's daily life, Yan can observe the road conditions from the sky, and Ye and I can be in charge of hunting."

Everyone thought this arrangement was very reasonable. Feng was indeed the next clan leader. These things were arranged very well. We should do it this way after entering the Ten Thousand Cliffs! The ones in front are sitting on the flying beastmen. The luggage can be put separately.

Before leaving, Linni invited Feng, Bai, and Yan's mother beasts, Mei and Li, to a feast of river delicacies. She also brought out her treasured jam wine for everyone to drink. Of course, Linni didn't get drunk this time, mainly because there were many people and not enough wine, so everyone only had one drink. However, both the wine and the food received high praise from Mei and Li, and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Mei was very reluctant to part with Linni and was very worried about her safety, but this could not change Linni's determination to leave. Thinking that she was taking Linni's two (or three?) children with her, Linni still felt a little embarrassed, so in Mei's reluctant embrace, Linni could only say, "Don't worry, we will come back when everything is settled."

But when Linni said those words, she actually believed that she would never come back.

Before setting off, Linni went to the stone tablet one last time for a final prayer. Entering a state of inner vision, the red light surrounding her seemed dimmer than before, while the energy radiance of her companions had become brighter, especially Maple's white light and Yao's red light. Previously, it was Yao's beast mark that was absorbing her energy, but this time she discovered that Yao's energy was slowly flowing through the beast mark throughout her body, finally converging in the two faintly blue energy clusters in her abdomen. What was this? Linni guessed that the life within her was requiring too much energy, hence the dimming of her red light. And that wasn't enough; they were also absorbing Yao's energy? The problem was, Night was their father beast, so why wasn't it absorbing Night's energy? Unable to figure it out, she didn't bother with them, deciding to ask Yao if he was feeling unwell later. However, it seemed she would have to try to eat more energy-rich foods in the future.

After the prayers were finished, Linni walked up to Yi and said, "Yi, I'm leaving the Tiger Beast Tribe. Thank you for taking care of me during this time!"

Yi smiled kindly, "I've already heard from Mei that you've stepped forward to do your part for the creatures of the Beastman Continent. On behalf of the towering mountains, I express my admiration and gratitude for your courage! This matter originated from the female's curse. If it can be resolved through her efforts, it will truly be a perfect ending. Go, Lin! I believe in you, and the Beast God will bless you!"

Lin Ni nodded: "Thank you, Yi!" She looked up at the tall and majestic stone tablet again, then looked at Yi: "Yi, this stone tablet, it shouldn't be the Beast God Tablet!"

Yi stared at Lin Ni in astonishment. In the towering mountains, especially among the tiger-beast tribe, such words were considered extremely disrespectful to the Beast God, a truly rebellious statement. Otherwise, Feng and Bai wouldn't have repeatedly corrected Lin Ni's claims. In the towering mountains, and indeed among all living beings on the entire Beastman Continent, everyone firmly believed that the stone tablet was the Beast God's Tablet, the Beast God's eye watching over the Beastman Continent, and also the Beast God's avatar protecting it. But now, Lin Ni, standing beneath the Beast God's Tablet, was saying it wasn't the Beast God's Tablet—how audacious! Yi murmured, "Lin is still young and can't speak properly. Please, Beast God, don't blame her. Omnipotent Beast God, please once again protect the towering mountains, and protect this only naturally born female on the Beast God Continent!"

Linni took two steps back and said to Yi, "I don't know the name of the stone tablet, but it's definitely not the Beast God Tablet! I'll come back and tell you when I find out its name!" Then, ignoring the still-shocked Yi, she looked up at the stone tablet and shouted, "I know the Beast God is asleep, which is why the stone tablet's power to protect the Beastman Continent has weakened! I will find a way to awaken the Beast God and reactivate the stone tablet!"

Before she could finish speaking, the stone tablet suddenly glowed with a soft white light, which then shone on Lin Ni. Lin Ni actually felt a feeling of joy or anticipation within the light? She nodded emphatically, "I understand, I will do it!"

After saying that, she led her companions away, leaving Yi alone at the foot of the stone tablet, asking blankly, "This isn't the Beast God Tablet? Then what kind of tablet is it?"

Not only his own decades-long faith, but also the beliefs passed down through generations of the Tiger Beast Tribe, all seemed to crumble at this moment.

Lin Ni only knew that she had said goodbye to Yi and expressed her thoughts under the stone tablet, nothing more. But she didn't know the shock that her figure, bathed in the white light of the stone tablet, left on Yi and the other women (or beasts) present, nor did she know that her declaration under the stone tablet and her walk towards her mates in the white light had left an indelible impression on them for a lifetime.

At this moment, she seemed to be the spokesperson for the Beast God walking on the Beastman Continent.
