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

Chapter 174 Even If You're a Jerk, I Still Like You

Ye said disdainfully, "Why don't you let them take it?"

Bai helplessly spread his hands: "I was thinking that Xuan and the others often brought us prey before, and Lin accepted it all, so I didn't refuse him. As for Luo and Azhi, I let them take them, but the problem is that they left as soon as they put them down. They can both fly, so I couldn't catch up and put them back in their hands."

Yao smiled and said, "Fine, if it's here, it's here. Yan, help Lin put away the pearls, and I'll cook the rest for Lin."

Linni picked up the seashell filled with pearls of various colors. Several of the pink pearls had a particularly dreamy hue; she truly loved pink. Speaking of which, pink was a rare sight on this beastman continent. Occasionally, one could see pink flowers, and besides that, these pearls were truly exceptionally beautiful! Linni played with the pearls, then looked up at everyone: "That Luo, didn't he give up? Why is he sending things again?"

Bai pouted and said, "He said he knew you wouldn't accept him, he just wanted to do something for you before leaving the Beast Carving Tribe, since he might never see you again!"

Lin Ni shook her head: "So devoted? But she really doesn't have any feelings for him." Then she thought of A-Zhi, who really looked five or six parts like Feng, but no matter how similar they were, they weren't Feng. Lin Ni looked up at Bai: "Next time, just refuse. It's not right to take something from someone else for nothing."

Bai nodded, then looked at Lin Ni and asked, "You only accept things from Ling and A-Zhi?"

Linni looked at Bai strangely: "Why accept both of them? Don't accept either of them."

Bai looked at Lin Ni with some confusion: "I thought you liked that A-Zhi. You kept looking at him that night."

Lin Ni was a little embarrassed: "I just thought he looked a lot like Feng, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances. But I stopped looking after we went up the mountain, didn't I?"

"Oh, I see." Bai scratched his head. "Then I was wrong."

Yao was making breakfast when he turned around and said, "Maybe that Azhi also thought you liked him. That night when you were staring at him, he kept avoiding your gaze. I thought he didn't want to be with you, but now that he's brought you something, it should mean he accepts you."

Lin Ni went to feed Ye Yin and Ye Qing with Ye, and asked with some worry, "What should we do? If I reject him now, would that be a bit of a jerk?"

Yan asked, "What does 'scum' mean?"

Linni said, "It's because I made him like me a lot, and then I didn't want him anymore."

Yan said, "Then you really are a jerk. Except for those situations where men just find a partner to live with, if a man truly falls in love with a woman, he will usually never change his mind for the rest of his life."

Lin Ni said shyly, "But that night I just thought he looked like Feng, so I glanced at him a few more times."

Actually, she was looking for similarities and differences between him and Feng. Because when she first saw A-He, she also felt that he resembled Feng. So she thought that if she looked at A-Zhi a few more times, she would no longer have that feeling. Unexpectedly, the more she looked, the more he resembled her, so she kept looking at him the whole way.

Bai said indifferently, "Although we all thought you liked him that night, if you don't like him, just reject him. Be a jerk or not, I still like you."

Lin Ni couldn't stop laughing at Bai's words: "Yeah, that's right! I'm a scumbag!"

Everyone ate breakfast together (of course, only Linni and Yao ate cooked food, while Ye, Bai, and Yan ate raw food). Linni then told Bai to go and buy some fried pork to fry up, as she wanted to eat something fragrant. Bai and Yan went to buy fried pork, flying there and coming back quickly.

Just then, A-Ping arrived with several other women. They had come to invite Lin Ni to visit the Beast Carving Tribe, but Lin Ni was unwell and couldn't go. They arranged to meet her three days later. Three days later, her flow should be much lighter, so a half-day visit wouldn't be a problem.

After A-Ping and the others left, Xuan and Ling came over.

Ling used her snake tail to coil around an exceptionally large crab, whose shell was even larger than a washbasin. As soon as the two approached, Ling asked, "Lin, did you have breakfast? Would you like to try this crab beast?"

Linni looked at the large crab and nodded, "Okay." The last time she ate crab was when she was pregnant with snake eggs. The crab she ate then was obviously not fully cooked. Now that she thought about it, it must have been to give her more energy to the baby in her belly. This time she wanted to eat it fully cooked.

Ling held up the large crab: "I'll break it open for you to eat."

Lin Ni: "Wait a minute, cook it first and then unpack it."

However, their stone pot wasn't big enough, and they ended up having to break off all the crab legs to cook them. While they were cooking the crabs, Xuan whispered to Yao, "I smell blood on Lin? How did she get hurt?"

Yao glanced at Lin Ni, who had clearly heard it too, as her body stiffened for a moment. Yao smiled at Xuan and said, "It's nothing, it's just the smell of wild boar cubs."

Xuanhu glanced at the group suspiciously, and Ling frowned and whispered, "You guys better be careful, don't hurt Lin."

Linni's face flushed bright red: "What are you saying?! They wouldn't hurt me. Besides, what's it to you?!"

Ling was rebuffed by Lin Ni and didn't say anything more, but her eyes darkened and she lowered them.

Xuan's face also looked a little unnatural. This was indeed a very private matter, but he still said seriously, "The Beast God sent us to protect you. You were injured, and we are just concerned about you."

Lin Ni glanced at Xuan and Ling, realizing she had gone a bit too far with her tone earlier. However, during her period, she was genuinely prone to anger. So she said to Ling, "Um~ I'm not hurt, don't worry, the Beast God won't blame you for this."

Ling suddenly raised her head and said formally to Lin Ni, "Lin, actually, the reason I came to see you today is not because of the Beast God."

Lin Ni looked at him: "So what do you want from me?"

Ling pursed her lips and suddenly lashed out at Xuan with her snake tail.

Lin Ni knew he meant for Xuan to speak, so she turned to look at Xuan. Seeing them exchanging knowing glances, she frowned and said, "We've known each other for so long, why are you passing the buck? Just say what you want to say!"

So Ling said, "Lin, we want to become your partners."

"Cough, cough cough!" Lin Ni choked on the air. Was it that sudden?

Night patted her gently on the back: "Are you alright? Do you want some water?"

Lin Ni waved her hand, caught her breath, and then looked at Ling: "Didn't you look down on me?"

Ling looked uneasy: "No."

Lin Ni: "You clearly had it, but you complained about it as soon as we met."

Ling looked at her seriously and explained, "I really didn't. I just didn't want to find a partner so soon. We explained it to you before. We were just afraid that if our partner passed away too early, it would be too lonely for us to spend our long lives alone."
