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

Chapter 154 is indeed the Vermilion Bird Stele.

The stone tablet grew brighter and brighter, with a bright red stream of light outlining its shape. Then, the stream of light rushed towards the center of the stone tablet and burst into flames. A firebird with a wingspan of three meters burst out of the flames, flew straight into the sky after leaving the stone tablet, and let out a loud cry.

Suddenly, a red light rose from the volcano in the distant Central Forest, shooting into the sky and then traversing thousands of mountains and rivers. A firebird that burst forth from the stone tablet circled the tablet once before flying down and circling above Yao's head. As the firebird flew, it dropped specks of shimmering red light, which, along with the red light that had crossed from the volcano, enveloped Yao and Linni. However, no one else was touched, not even Ye, Bai, and Yan, who were standing very close; the red light avoided them.

After circling once, the firebird flew back into the stone tablet and disappeared. Then, the three ancient red characters "Vermilion Bird Tablet" appeared on the tablet. Nine seconds later, they disappeared again. The stone tablet seemed to have been given new life. Although it was still ancient and faded, it gave people a very solemn and dignified feeling.

All the beastmen present fell silent. Before, they had all looked at Linni with mockery and disdain, but now they were all looking at her with suspicion, admiration, or fear.

Yao smiled and looked at Lin Ni: "Lin, you did it. She should have been awakened by now."

Lin Ni turned her gaze from the stone tablet back to Yao's face, looking at his gentle smile, and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily: "Yao, it really is the Vermilion Bird Tablet, it's real!"

Lin Ni nestled into Yao's arms, tears streaming down her face. All her previous guesses were just that—guesses, a faint clue about how to get home. But now reality told her it was true! Her guesses were right! She had found her way home; all she had to do was keep moving forward. How could she not be excited?!

In her excitement, Lin Ni didn't see the sadness in Yao's eyes, nor did she see the fleeting red ancient character "eight" on Yao's forehead.

Bai looked at Lin Ni with a mixture of relief and deep reluctance, knowing that the days they could spend with her were numbered.

Night gently touched White with her snake tail: "What is Lin saying?"

Bai said, with a heavy heart, "She said it really is the Vermilion Bird Stele."

Yan: Shouldn't this be a cause for celebration?

Night: Something's not right with how you guys are behaving!

Lin Ni was still excited when she heard Da Jin's slightly trembling voice: "Lin, she really is the natural female chosen by the Beast God. The Beast God has blessed her again!"

Many people unconsciously murmured, "Why does the Beast God always bless her?" "Is she the Beast God's messenger?"

"The messenger of the Beast God!"

The chaotic speculation slowly turned into shouts: "Beast God, protect us! Beast God's messenger! Beast God's messenger, Beast God, protect us!"

Lin Ni wiped away her tears in Yao's arms, looked at the stone tablet, and then looked at Xuan and Ling: "Xuan, Ling, is this okay?"

Xuan shook his head and said, "We have never seen this situation before. It should be what you said, that it has been awakened, but the guardian stone tablet, or rather the Vermilion Bird Tablet, has not yet been activated. If it were activated, its energy should spread to the entire Ten Thousand Ren Cliff, and in the process, it would also clear away the evil aura of the Ten Thousand Ren Cliff and the cursed land. But just now, the guardian stone tablet did not emit such energy."

Da Jin asked anxiously, "Then how do we activate it?" Although he was able to witness the Vermilion Bird Stele rejuvenating and felt deeply moved, it would be of no use to their Ten Thousand Cliffs if the cursed land could not be cleared.

Xuan looked at Yao and said, "Find the guardian beastman and use his name and blood to activate the energy of the guardian stone tablet."

He now believes, like Linni and the others, that Yao is the guardian beastman of the Ten Thousand Cliffs. After all, the Vermilion Bird Stele only bestowed blessings upon Linni and him, and judging from his animal skin skirt, he is clearly a red, bird-like beastman. All his attributes match perfectly; there's really no one else who could be him.

Da Jin and the others also looked at Yao, clearly having the same thought as Xuan. He asked directly, "Yao is the guardian beastman of our Ten Thousand Cliffs, right?"

A look of confusion appeared in Yao's eyes.

Lin Ni hugged his arm and said, "Yao, activate the Vermilion Bird Stele using the method Xuan said."

Yao looked at Lin Ni and said, "But I don't think I am Suzaku."

Everyone looked at Yao with eyes that seemed to say, "Go ahead and lie to the cubs, you clearly are!"

Lin Ni always trusted Yao completely, but at this moment she couldn't help but look Yao up and down for a while longer: "Yao, why don't you give it a try! If it doesn't work, we'll find someone else."

Yao nodded, raised his head, and loudly proclaimed to the Vermilion Bird Stele: "In the name of the Vermilion Bird, I swear: I will voluntarily become the guardian beastman of the Ten Thousand Ren Stone Cliff, protecting it with my blood, and praying that the Beast God will bless the Ten Thousand Ren Stone Cliff with peace and tranquility! May the Beastman Continent prosper!"

After saying that, he cut his left wrist, and a drop of blood full of fiery energy flew up. Yao used his red beast god power to wrap the blood and send it to the Vermilion Bird Stele. The Vermilion Bird Stele, which had returned to its original appearance, once again glowed red. Just when everyone thought that it would absorb the blood, it actually pushed the blood back until the blood stopped in front of Yao and the red light disappeared.

Da Jin exclaimed in surprise, "He... this is... not accepting?"

Yao held his own blood in his palm and looked at Xuan: "What does this mean?"

Xuan and Ling were also surprised: "We've never encountered this situation before. In the past, the stone tablet would either absorb the blood directly or fall down without absorbing it. We've never seen it pushed back."

Yao pursed his lips and looked at Lin Ni: "I'm not Suzaku, what should I do?"

Lin Ni held Yao's blood-stained fists in her arms and comforted him, "Yao, it's okay. You're not a descendant of the Vermilion Bird, but Yan certainly is!" She looked at Yan and said, "Yan, try what Yao did just now."

Yan wanted to ask: Why isn't he the one, but I definitely am? He hesitated for a moment and said, "Lin, what if..."

“There’s no chance of anything going wrong!” Lin Ni said confidently. “Xuan and Ling, the two guardian beastmen of the vast North Sea, said that they would occasionally fail when they were at lower levels, but they haven’t failed since they reached level nine. So don’t worry, if you don’t succeed the first time, try again. You’ll definitely succeed.”

Yan Jianxuan and Ling nodded, then looked at Yao: But Yao and he are both level eight, what if Yao fails because his level is lower? Mainly because Yao received the blessing of the guardian stele, while he didn't. So Yan said, "Why don't we let Yao try again?"
