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

Chapter 159 The Legend of the Phoenix

The fireball before her was no longer dazzling, only a dim red remained, like a flame that had fallen into slumber, emitting only a faint red glow. All its intensity had been contained within, and something seemed to be flowing inside, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing there. Lin Ni reached out and gently stroked the fireball—it shouldn't be called a fireball anymore; it should be described as a large red sphere, hard yet warm to the touch. She actually found this sphere quite beautiful, and even felt a slight urge to kiss it. What the heck? Was she now thinking of that kind of thing with everything she saw?

Lin Ni blushed shamefully, but thinking that she was in her dream, she figured it wouldn't matter what she did, right? So she closed her eyes and kissed him. She felt like she'd kissed him, but then again, she hadn't. Lin Ni opened her eyes and found herself still asleep in Yao's arms. She looked out of the tree hollow and saw that it was only just dawn. She stirred, and Yao woke up too, looking down at her and softly asking, "Woke up so early today?"

Lin Ni wiped the fine sweat from her forehead: "Hmm, it's a bit hot, I want to take a shower."

Yao kissed her forehead: "Even Xiao Ni's sweat smells good." Then he kissed her lips.

Linni hugged Yao back, and the two kissed for a while. Then she remembered that in her dream she wanted to kiss the huge sphere in the lava, round and warm. Could it be an egg? Linni gently pushed Yao away: "Yao, your beast form is a phoenix. I remember that the phoenix was born from Yinglong."

Yao looked up at her and said, "Hmm. And then?"

In the Orcish continent, the bond between parents is not strong; it seems that it doesn't matter who gave birth to them.

Lin Ni continued, "Yao, I'm reminded of a legend from our Chinese nation."

Yao asked, "Is it about me?"

Lin Ni nodded: "There are two legends about the birth of the phoenix: one is that the phoenix is ​​a spiritual creature between heaven and earth, born from the essence of the sun and the spirit of fire; the other is that the phoenix was born from the ancient divine beast Yinglong."

Yao watched her quietly. Although he didn't really want to hear what she was saying and only wanted to be intimate with her, seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something important, he waited for her to figure it out. Lin Ni said, "Is it possible that the Beast God is—?" Yinglong? Why are you forbidding me to say it again?

Yao said, "Are you saying that the Beast God is Yinglong?"

Linni nodded and said, "Yes, according to the Five Elements theory, the Five Elements generate and restrain each other. The Four Divine Beasts already have Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire, leaving only Earth. So the Beast God should be—. Didn't I tell you before that I dreamed of a volcanic space? There was a large—" Some words were hard to say, it was so painful. In the middle of the Central Forest was a volcano, but the Phoenix was clearly not of the Earth element. I wonder if the Yinglong was of the Earth element? Or are there Earth Dragons? If the Beast God is the Yinglong, and the Yinglong gave birth to the Phoenix, then Yao is the son of the Beast God. The Beast God cannot descend to the Beastman Continent at will; the son of the Beast God travels on the continent in His stead. Hmm, that fits his special identity. Thinking of this, Linni turned to look at Yao and smiled: "Yao, you should be—" the son of the Beast God, but a force prevented her from saying it. Oh well, she wouldn't say it then.

Seeing her confident demeanor, Yao didn't speak for her anymore, but simply asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Lin Ni said happily, "I've figured it out."

After she finished speaking, Yao kissed her again...

Linni and her four companions spent eight days in blissful, carefree (and almost unbearable) bliss before preparing to leave the Wanren Stone Cliff.

To facilitate switching between beast and human forms, Yao stopped wearing clothes and shoes, transforming into a primitive human like the other beastmen, wearing only a short skirt. Of course, even as a primitive human, he was the most beautiful, refined, and handsome of all.

Xuan and Ling can transform their own skin into a complete set of clothes, a feat they have achieved after nearly a century of effort. Seeing that Lin Ni was a little bothered by Yao's bare upper body, Xuan taught everyone the method of transforming their own skin into clothes. The method is actually not difficult. After a beastman reaches level eight, he can choose to transform all parts of his body into beast parts. So, you only need to transform the skin you don't want to expose. The difficulty lies in controlling it without distraction and minimizing energy consumption.

Although Linni didn't seem to mind Ye, Bai, and Yan's nudity, they still studied very diligently. Of course, they couldn't learn a skill that others had honed over nearly a century overnight. After several days of practice, Yao successfully conjured up his upper body clothing, but it didn't last long enough. It seemed he would need more time to maintain it like Ling and the others. As for Ye, Bai, and Yan, well, they hadn't figured out the trick yet.

Lin Ni secretly rejoiced once again: The man I've set my sights on is truly amazing! (Temporarily ignoring the other three men she's also interested in.)

Before leaving the Vermilion Bird Stele, Lin Ni took out her phone again and had the six men take several photos with her in both human and beast forms against the backdrop of the stele. Some photos were with her four partners (five people in total), and some were with seven people. She also took a solo photo of the Xuanwu beast form. As for the human forms—group photos were enough; individual photos weren't necessary. Having seen so many handsome men on the Beastman Continent, she was immune to them. Lin Ni glanced with satisfaction at Yao in the photo, dressed in a golden-red feather outfit. His clothes, like Xuan and Ling's, were a one-shoulder short dress, but the bright colors were particularly eye-catching in the photo.

My phone still has 50% battery left after the last charge, but the power bank is completely dead. It's probably because the battery drains more in winter. The weather is pretty good now, so the battery drain isn't as bad.

Xuan and Ling were incredibly curious about cell phones, seeing them for the first time. But their curiosity was useless; Ye and the others hadn't shown them any, let alone these two outsiders who weren't partners. Yao, on the other hand, was nonchalant; he didn't share their intense curiosity.

While packing, Ye suggested finding some flying beastmen to travel to the Rainforest Swamp Kingdom. With Yao and Yan, both level nine flying beastmen, they no longer needed to worry about Lin Ni's safety. Traveling by flying beastmen would save a significant amount of time, and everyone was eager to try. Yao suggested that it would be better to go to the Eagle Beast Tribe and ask Da Jin to make the arrangements. Lin Ni had helped Wanren Stone Cliff awaken and activate the Vermilion Bird Stele; they shouldn't refuse to help with such a small matter. This was safer than capturing some unknown flying beastmen themselves, and they could also inquire about the Rainforest Swamp Kingdom.

Yao's suggestion was unanimously approved, so everyone headed back to the Eagle Beast Tribe.
