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

Chapter 92 The Beast God in the Volcano

“Okay.” Lin Ni nodded, took a deep breath and said, “Actually, I’ve had the same dream several times before. I dreamt that I was in a dimly lit, warm space, and I felt like something was sleeping inside, but I couldn’t see anything around me no matter how I ran around. I told Ye about this dream, but he didn’t know anything.” Seeing that Yao was listening to her intently, Lin Ni continued, “On the night Ye left, before he came back, I fell asleep and dreamt about that place again, but I found that it was inside a mountain…” Lin Ni told Yao about that dream in detail, and then added, “I really didn’t intend to have a baby with Ye.”

Yao looked at her unhappy face and said, "But you are already pregnant with Ye's cub."

Linni, fearing he wouldn't believe her, raised her hand and gathered red beast god power, slowly forming a shield: "See, I really can do it."

Yao was a little anxious: "Lin, put it away quickly. Nurturing cubs already requires a lot of energy. If you use the power of the Beast God again, it will cause great harm to yourself and the cubs."

Linni quickly put away the shield, her face a little pale: "No wonder I found it so difficult."

Yao comforted her, "It's okay, eat more meat to make up for it."

Linni looked up at Yao and said, "So I really didn't intend to get pregnant with Ye's baby. But since I am, I will give birth to them."

Yao nodded: "I won't tell them. Just let them think it's your own choice. Xiao Ni can have whose baby she wants in the future, or not if she doesn't want to. Don't always worry about what others think."

Lin Ni nodded: "Okay!" After a while, Lin Ni asked in a low voice: "Yao, why didn't you worship the Beast God with us that day?" Actually, she was quite bothered by this matter. She hadn't found an opportunity to ask him before, but now she finally asked.

Yao gently pulled Lin Ni into his arms and said, "I don't want to worship that stone tablet, nor do I want to worship with them." After he finished speaking, he kissed her forehead, looked at her, and asked, "If Xiao Ni wants to worship the Beast God with me, shall we find some time to go and worship together?"

Worshipping the Beast God was just a ritual, but she wanted to have one with him. Ultimately, she still held onto some traditional values; if it existed, she wanted it too, it would feel better. They could worship later, they could talk about it later. Lin Ni didn't continue the topic, instead saying, "I have some guesses about the Beast God, I don't know if they're right." She was getting tired of standing and leaned against Yao: "Everyone says the power of the Beast God is white, the power of the Beast God Stele, and the power of Feng and the others are all white, but the power of the Beast God that you and I possess is red."

"Hmm!" Yao nodded, holding Lin Ni who was leaning against him with one arm. He stretched out his right hand in front of Lin Ni's eyes, and then red light flashed in his palm, condensing into a red energy arrow.

Linni asked in surprise, "Yao, you've fully recovered?"

Yao dispersed the light arrow and held her in his arms. "No, it's just that you can use these powers after reaching level seven. I can accumulate power on my own now, but the opportunity to level up still lies with you." Seeing Lin Ni nod, he added, "I haven't used it in front of them yet, so we'll have to wait a little longer."

Linni nodded. Everyone else had to wait a while after reaching level nine before they could use it, but Yao could use it at level seven, and the color of the energy was different too. It was best to keep it a secret for now. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Yao, do you remember the first time we prayed under the stone tablet? After the white light from the stone tablet blessed us, I also saw a red light fly out from the volcano in the central forest and land on us. Did you feel it?"

Yao shook his head: "No."

Linni said uncertainly, "The power of the stone tablet is white, while the power of the Beast God is red, so I think the stone tablet is not the Beast God Tablet. The Beast God is in—" She couldn't finish the sentence in the volcano. After a while, she managed to say, "There."

Yao said slowly, "You mean, the Beast God is inside the volcano?"

Lin Ni nodded quickly: You really are my mouth double! How come you can say it, but I can't?! "I think the stone tablet is another guardian of the Beastman Continent. Maybe the Beast God—" she wanted to say that it was asleep, "the Beast God and the stone tablet guarded the Beastman Continent together. Now only the stone tablet is left. And Yi said that the power of the stone tablet is weakening, which is why the evil forces are so rampant."

Yao nodded: "Your analysis makes a lot of sense. Feng and the others can only suppress the spread of evil forces by destroying the Cursed Land, but they can't solve the fundamental problem. To completely prevent the Cursed Land from being reborn, we need to awaken the sleeping Beast God and reactivate the power of the stone tablet."

Linni nodded frantically, "Yao, you're right! How should we reactivate the power of the stone tablet? The Beast God is slumbering in the volcano—" Linni was startled: how could she have said it again in her haste? Was it because someone else had already said it? She continued, "You are definitely the Beast God's messenger! You can say many things that I can't, and your companion mark is fire! Tell me, how can we awaken the Beast God and activate the power of the stone tablet?"

Yao was momentarily confused, then thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but I think you do."

Linni: I really am the savior of the Beastman Continent! "But I don't know either! You taught me a lot of things! Think about it again."

Yao really thought hard for a long time: "There are no clues in the towering mountains, but we can go to the towering cliffs to find the answer."

Lin Ni nodded quickly and said, "Yes, we found a clue that led you to appear on our way to the towering mountains. Next, we should go to the Ten Thousand Cliffs to look for new clues!"

At this point, Lin Ni seemed to see the way home. She'd be home soon, wouldn't she? Mom and Dad, how are you? In the more than 260 days that have passed, have you recovered from the pain of your daughter's disappearance and started a new life?

Yao held Lin Ni tightly in his arms: "Since the Beast God is in the volcano, shall we find some time later to go to the Central Forest where we got married and worship the Beast God again? Just the two of us."

Linni nodded, then looked up and kissed his lips.

In the days that followed, Linni developed a strong craving for meat and a dislike for vegetables. She also became increasingly lethargic, sometimes spending the entire day eating and sleeping, then eating again. The weather grew colder, and after the thirtieth day of winter, it began snowing for days on end. Feng and the others stopped hunting and started eating the food stored in their cave. In such cold weather and with heavy snow, finding prey was extremely difficult. Aside from going out early in the morning and evening to clear the snow around the house and to patrol the tribe's security, they stayed home with Linni. The snow around the house had to be cleared promptly, otherwise the entire house would be buried.
