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

Chapter 74: Hot Spring Bathing Starting in 1

Yao smiled and placed a piece of meat on her plate: "I'm not hungry, it tastes better when I eat with you."

Feng watched them eat together and suddenly said, "Yao, you've leveled up! Did the Beast God bless you again?"

Yao shook his head and said, "No."

Feng sized him up a few times: "You went to pray for blessings three times and leveled up twice. You're pretty impressive."

Bai repeated what Lin Ni had told Yan and the others about Yao's upgrade. Feng nodded after listening: "Perhaps the Beast God Stele can help your recovery. You should go with Lin when she goes to pray for blessings in the future."

Yao looked up at everyone and, seeing that no one had any objections, nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing that Linni had finished a bowl of soup and was eating roasted potatoes, Feng said, "They're all back now, can I go to the tribe to check on them?"

Linni swallowed the food in her mouth: "Go ahead, see you tonight!"

Feng nodded: "See you tonight!" He nodded to the three men again, then turned and left.

After finishing their meal, Lin Ni said she wanted to go to the hot springs, and Bai immediately replied, "I'll go with you!"

Lin Ni, Yao, and Ye all looked up at Bai, who seemed very enthusiastic, but said nothing.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Bai tentatively asked, "How about the four of us go together?"

Ye shook her head: "I don't like the smell of hot springs. You guys go together, but don't soak for too long."

Bai Kaixin said, "Okay!" and then picked up Lin Ni and walked out.

Yao went back to the room and helped Lin Ni pack a set of clothes and a fur bath towel specially made for soaking in the hot spring (Ye said that after soaking, he would wrap Lin Ni up completely and carry her back so that she wouldn't be afraid of the wind, and she could go straight to sleep when she got back, which would be great!). He said to Ye, "Then I'll go too."

Bai, carrying Lin Ni, ran halfway before looking down at her and saying, "Lin, I also really want to have your partner's mark on me! Today, Feng and Ye both felt your call, but I'm the only one who didn't."

Lin Ni looked up at him and said, "So you worried for nothing even though you felt it?"

"But I really want to have this kind of bond with you, and I'm already level seven!" Bai said in a slightly coquettish tone.

Lin Ni nodded, pretending not to understand: "Level 7, and then what?"

Bai asked in a low voice, "When do you plan to become my partner?"

Lin Ni looked away: "What do you think?"

Bai was truly bold enough to ask directly, "Is it okay now?"

Lin Ni knew he was outspoken, but she didn't expect him to be this outspoken! She'd just been with Feng, and hadn't even washed herself yet, and he dared to say such things? But damn it, her body was reacting too. She'd been too nervous just now…

Seeing Lin Ni blush and remain silent, Bai stopped and kissed her. It was his first kiss, and he seemed quite awkward. After a few lip-to-lip kisses, he started kissing her face haphazardly, then even licked her with his tongue, making Lin Ni laugh uncontrollably. After laughing for a while, Lin Ni reached out and hugged him, returning his kiss. Only then did Bai finally learn how to kiss.

When Yao caught up, he saw the two kissing by the roadside. After they separated, he said, "Why don't we just go home?"

Lin Niteng blushed and said shyly, "I'm going to take a bath!"

"Okay!" Bai carried her and continued walking towards the hot spring, saying as they walked, "I'll tell them I'll stay home with you tomorrow, and then we'll get married."

Lin Ni turned her face away from him and Yao: "Say what you want, it's not like you're talking to me, why are you telling me?"

Bai knew she had agreed, and he grinned from ear to ear.

When they arrived at the hot spring where Lin Ni often soaked, all three of them went into the water. Lin Ni was a little surprised because in the past, only Yao would accompany her to soak in the hot spring; Feng and Ye never went into the water.

Bai leaned against the side, looking at Lin Ni, and suddenly said, "Do you remember at the end of summer, we swam in the lake together? Then I went ashore and ate two fish, and you were dragged away by the night. I was really afraid that I would never see you again."

Linni was also lost in her memories, saying with lingering fear, "That time really scared me to death. I thought I was going to be eaten by a giant python."

Yao looked at the two of them and asked, "Lin, what have you been through? I know very well!"

Linni thought for a moment and briefly recounted her experiences after arriving in this world: "Well, after you disappeared, I traveled south through the Central Forest by myself. I encountered a giant black bear and was almost eaten, but Bai Shu and Bai Ji saved me..." Although she encountered several dangers, she escaped unharmed in the end. Linni felt that during that time, apart from the confusion and fear of the unfamiliar world, she hadn't actually suffered much. The most difficult period was actually the twenty days she spent in the Tiger Beast Tribe. Not to mention the numerous dangers along the way, just traveling was incredibly arduous.

Although she didn't say she was tired, Yao and Bai still looked at her with great concern: "You must have had a hard journey!"

Lin Ni hugged Yao and nestled in his arms, then looked at Bai and said, "But we've gained so much too! Without going through all this, neither of you would be able to stay by my side like this now!"

Although she spent a long time alone with Ye, Yao and Bai were actually the first two men she met on the Beastman Continent.

Her words earned her a passionate kiss from Yao, after which he held her tightly, saying, "I will always protect you from now on."

Lin Ni nodded, then looked up and saw Bai looking at her affectionately. She smiled at him and gave him a pouty kiss from afar. Upon seeing this, Bai immediately leaned over and showered her with kisses.

Held tightly in Yao's arms, and then kissed passionately, Lin Ni was so overwhelmed by the sensation that she collapsed into his embrace. Between nervousness and shame, Lin Ni cried out, "No, don't!"

Yao whispered in her ear, "I'll help you wash up."

"Uh..." Lin Ni didn't know how to react. She felt completely powerless and could only close her eyes...

Lin Ni didn't know when they finished, or even when she got home. She only knew that it was getting dark when she woke up. She had barely moved when she heard Yao's voice: "Lin, you're awake."

Linni looked up at Yao and saw him staring at her intently. Flashes of the afternoon's events resurfaced in her mind, and her reason began to return: Good heavens! What had she done this afternoon? She, she, she was with both of them! Linni looked up and bit his chin: "Yao, you've become bad!"

Lin Ni glanced at the sky, snorted, and stopped dawdling with him. As she dressed, she checked her body. She felt Bai's movements had been quite rough, and wondered if he'd left any marks. She checked and found none; it seemed he knew his limits. Lin Ni also noticed that on her left arm, besides the serpentine mark of night, there was now a roaring tiger pouncing forward—truly awe-inspiring!
