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

Chapter 39 Kid Brother Wants to Be My Partner

When Yao handed her a very soft gray wool dress, Lin Ni looked at him in surprise: "You made this?"

Yao looked at her and smiled, saying, "I made this for you last night. Try it on."

Lin Ni took it and saw it was also a vest dress. Ye had made it with a V-neck design in the front and back, with a strap at the back to cinch the waist, and a slit at the back, so it wouldn't restrict movement or let in the wind. She happily put it on, and then Yao handed her a red cape coat. Unlike the high-necked one she had asked Ye to make before, this one was hooded, so she wouldn't get a headache from the wind. Ye is truly a born fashion designer! If he were born in modern times, he would definitely be a genius in this field.

While she was examining the clothes, Yao helped her tie her hair into two braids that hung down on either side: "Okay, go wash up."

Lin Ni kissed Yao's lips, actually she wanted to kiss his lips, but remembering that she hadn't rinsed her mouth yet, she kissed him crookedly, and then laughed as she left the cave.

Ye was cooking meat soup for her outside the cave, and a cup of hot water was already prepared beside her. When she came out, he looked her over several times and saw her big, bright eyes staring at him: "Are you hungry? Come and eat something."

Lin Ni smiled and nodded. After quickly washing up, she rushed over and hugged Ye, giving him two kisses: "Ye, I really like the clothes you made. Thank you."

Ye smiled happily: "I'm glad you like it."

Linni kissed him again: "Don't stay up late to make it next time."

"It's okay." Ye also kissed her lips.

"Lin Zhen looks beautiful, she looks good in anything!" Yan couldn't help but exclaim.

Linni sat on a large rock, eating breakfast while looking around at her surroundings.

The cave we stayed in last night wasn't very big, and the open space in front of it was only about twenty or thirty square meters. Because of the small space, everyone naturally gathered in the open space. Perhaps because no one had eaten properly last night, they were all eating together now. Watching everyone sitting together to eat, Lin Ni felt a little emotional. Usually, everyone would find their own place to eat, and it was rare to see them all gathered together like this.

Just then, Lin Ni suddenly looked up and asked, "Where are Atractylodes macrocephala and Bletilla striata?"

Since Yao appeared, Linni had been staying with him, and Yan always tried to get closer to her. Bai Shu and Bai Ji couldn't squeeze in front of her, but they had always stayed quietly by her side, guarding the cave entrance at night. Now, however, they were nowhere to be seen. Linni couldn't help but feel a little worried: Where had they gone?

Yan replied, "They left long ago. This is the tribe where they grew up, so you don't need to worry."

Lin Ni nodded upon hearing this, then suddenly looked up at Yan and asked, "Yan also grew up in the Tiger Beast Tribe, so you two grew up together, right?"

Yan swallowed the meat in his mouth before answering, "We grew up together, you could say. Actually, they were a bit bigger than me. When I was born, they looked about the same size as almost adult males. Tiger beasts usually reach adulthood at twelve, but they couldn't transform into human form until they were fourteen, which was last year, when they left the tribe." Now, like Ye, if Yan was eating in front of Lin Ni, he would skin the prey and tear it into small pieces before eating. Otherwise, Lin Ni would glance at him and then not look at him again until he finished eating.

Linni nodded: Then they'll be fifteen years old this year.

Yan added, "But we Eagle Beastmen reach adulthood at ten years old, and we Eagle Beastmen start learning to fly at six months old, and live in the high mountains after one year old, so I rarely play with them."

Linni was a little surprised: "You just came back from your coming-of-age ceremony, so what year are you --?"

Yan proudly declared, "I'm exactly ten years old this year! I've only been an adult for one season and I'm already a level six beastman. I'm a male with exceptional talent!"

"My God!" Lin Ni clutched her heart: "Beast God! This is only a ten-year-old elementary school student! How could you make him an adult so quickly? This ten-year-old is going to be my partner! What am I supposed to do?!" However, Yan's face did look rather youthful, like a high school heartthrob. Lin Ni then looked at Yao and Ye; they didn't have that childish look. They weren't just young boys who had recently come of age. Although they didn't look mature yet, they were still very charming, charismatic, and masculine men. She decided not to ask their ages, afraid of scaring herself.

Yan told Linni that in the Beastman Continent, it's extremely rare for a beastman to reach a high rank without mating. Someone like him, who reached level six so soon after adulthood, would definitely have no problem reaching a high rank on his own. And a male who can reach a high rank on his own has a high chance of becoming a level nine beastman, provided he finds a mate who isn't too weak. Keep in mind, there are only three level nine beastmen in the Overlapping Mountains, which is why Sha from the Fox Beast Tribe has been so persistent in wanting to mate with Yan. In the Overlapping Mountains, the Tiger Beast Tribe has two level nine beastmen: Yang, the tribe's chief, and Ling, the former chief, who is now quite old. There is also a level nine beastman, Brown Bear, the chief of the Bear Beast Tribe.

Linni: I was so naive. It wasn't that Sha was too unreserved, but that Yan is just too outstanding! A level nine orc, a future top powerhouse of the orc continent. It seems only right for me to lower myself and pursue him. Linni sincerely said, "Yan, I didn't know you were so amazing!"

Yan smiled sheepishly: "Actually, the most powerful single male in the Tiger Beast Tribe is not me, but Feng, a Tiger Beastman who shares the same father and mother as Bai Shu and Bai Ji. He is already an eighth-level beastman."

"A tiger-beastman from the same father and mother, isn't he a white tiger?" Linni asked curiously.

"No, he was their mother's first cub, a black-striped, yellow-haired tiger. Bai Shu and Bai Ji were their mother's last two cubs. Because of their mutation, the tribe said that they had harmed their mother, causing her to be unable to reproduce."

What happened to Atractylodes macrocephala and Bletilla striata is truly heartbreaking. They did nothing wrong; it was just because their fur color was different from their own kind that they became a laughingstock and the culprit behind everything.

Yao reached out and patted Linni's hand, saying to her, who was clearly downcast, "Don't be sad, I think you can help them."

"Me?" Linni was at a loss; she really didn't know how to help them.

Yao smiled encouragingly: "You need to have confidence in yourself!"

Linni nodded: "Okay!" She herself lacked confidence, but she had confidence in Yao.
