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

Chapter 32 Spending the Night in the Jungle

Around the campfire that night, Black Hawk, Night, and the two white tigers each found a spot they considered comfortable and enjoyed their bloody dinner—fresh goat meat. Every bite was thick with the pungent smell of blood, which they found delicious. As they ate their food, they gave Yao several strange looks: because Yao wasn't eating anything raw.

Yao and Linni sat together, slowly roasting his portion of lamb over the fire, adding her special seasoning and some fruit juice as instructed. The roasted meat smelled delicious and emitted an enticing aroma that made one's mouth water. Yao used Linni's folding knife to cut off a piece and handed it to her, asking her to taste it.

Linni took a bite, the meat was tender and juicy, the aroma filling her mouth. She exclaimed in delight, "Wow, Yao, your grilled meat is so delicious!" Linni then took a sip of the mutton soup, praising it just as highly: "Yao, your mutton soup is also very good, even better than mine!"

Yao smiled and found two straight branches to use as chopsticks, and he and Linni happily shared their first dinner after their reunion. Linni thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of having someone to eat with and sharing food, which gave her a wonderful feeling of picnicking with her lover.

As night fell, four bright full moons hung in the sky, illuminating the four cardinal directions and creating a serene and beautiful scene. After dinner, Linni took a warm bath in a makeshift bathroom constructed from snake bodies and animal skins.

Of course, she thanked Yan repeatedly before washing.

Linni could accept Ye and Yao's care without feeling guilty because they were her partners. As for Bai Shu and Bai Ji—she had once mistakenly thought they were just two sentient beings, but after learning that they actually had male minds, she had gotten used to it. But Yan was different. In her eyes, Yan was a complete stranger. Especially considering that he was kind to her because he wanted to be her partner, accepting his care was tantamount to accepting his courtship, which she didn't want. So she felt embarrassed by Yan's kindness and care, and Ye's bossy attitude towards Yan only made her feel more embarrassed.

She felt an instant attraction to Yao, and initially, she was only interested in a one-night stand, which is why they got together. As for Ye, even though she was so helpless at the time, living alone in a strange place for more than ten days, and even after he saved her life (which she initially thought), she didn't immediately accept him. Instead, she was moved by his kindness after spending more than ten days together and only then accepted him.

Based on her current understanding of the Orcish Continent and Ye's attitude, they probably wouldn't object to her finding another partner. However, she couldn't just accept any man as her partner so easily. It wasn't that she wouldn't accept other men, but she hoped that any she did would be based on attraction and affection, not on other reasons.

The gentle breeze of the early autumn night softly caressed her freshly washed long hair. Yao sat behind her, gently combing her hair with a comb Lin Ni had brought from the modern world. The silky smooth hair swayed in the wind. At that moment, she felt incredibly comfortable, her whole body and mind completely relaxed.

Nestled in Night's arms, feeling his strong, warm chest, Linni recalled the terrifying events of the day. First, she was ambushed and chased by wolves, then she narrowly escaped becoming food for a brown bear. These experiences had left her exhausted and in a state of high tension. Now, finally relaxing, she drifted off to sleep in Night's embrace.

Just then, the three eagle-beastmen who had gone to check the fire in the valley flew back. Seeing that Linni was asleep, Rui and Can found a high spot to rest while keeping watch. Only Yan quietly walked over to them, and finally stopped next to Bai Shu and Bai Ji, who were dozing off to the side.

Seeing that Lin Ni was already fast asleep, Yao looked up and softly asked Ye, "Where does she sleep tonight?"

While keeping her upper body still, Ye transformed her lower body into a snake tail and pulled Linni's animal skin sleeping bag over. Seeing this, Yan immediately went over to help spread out the sleeping bag.

Night nodded to him: "Once you reach level seven, I'll persuade Lin to accept you." His voice was very soft, but the orc's keen hearing was enough to hear it.

Yan smiled happily: "I will try my best."

Ye gently picked up Lin Ni and carried her towards the sleeping bag, but Lin Ni still woke up. She looked up at him and then saw Yao and Yan. She smiled and asked, "Did I just fall asleep?"

Yao smiled gently at her and said, "Go to sleep if you're tired."

Lin Ni reached out her hand to him, and Yao immediately took it with both hands: "What's wrong?"

Linni asked in Mandarin, "You won't disappear again, will you?"

Yao kissed the back of her hand: "It won't happen until the energy is used up."

Lin Ni remembered that he had told Ye that he would rely on his own accumulated energy, so she nodded and said, "I will work hard to cultivate."

His gentle, loving eyes seemed to shimmer with golden light in the firelight not far away. He nodded and said, "Okay. Sleep now."

Linni stood up from Ye's embrace, tiptoed and kissed Yao's rosy, full, and alluring lips, then kissed Ye's slightly pale but supple lips. She smiled at them and said in the language of the Beastman Continent, "Goodnight, dear Yao, dear Ye!"

After saying that, he crawled into her animal skin sleeping bag and whispered, "Goodnight, my dear Lin!"

Ye moved her lips slightly and whispered to Lin Ni, who had already closed her eyes, "Goodnight."

Yan: I also want a kiss, and I also want to hear "Goodnight, dear Yan".

Yao took an animal hide, spread it out next to Linni's sleeping bag, and lay down, gently placing his hand on it. Ye, who had originally planned to transform into a python and coil around her sleeping bag, couldn't help but ask upon seeing Yao like this, "Can't you transform into an animal to rest?"

"My beast form?" Yao murmured, his eyes somewhat blank.

"Judging from your animal-patterned skirt, you must be a beastman?"

Yao tilted his head and thought for a moment: "I don't know, I forgot."

"You even forgot this?" Ye looked at Yao, then at Lin Ni: "Alright."

He recalled the mark representing Yao on Lin Ni's left shoulder—a flame. Could a flame be used to cultivate into an orc? He also thought that Lin Ni wearing animal skin clothes had its advantages; that way, people wouldn't see her partner's mark and wouldn't find it strange.

Thinking of the partner mark, Ye looked up at Rui and Can above and said, "I hope you can keep Lin's partner mark a secret for the time being."

Rui nodded and said, "No problem, we won't mention it to outsiders."

Can nodded in agreement.

Yan: "I won't tell either."

Ye said irritably, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll bite you to death!"

Yan glanced at Ye: Why do I feel like you're bullying me? You're only one level higher than me, is that so great? Okay, level six is ​​a mid-level beastman, level seven is a high-level beastman, you are indeed quite powerful.
