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

Chapter 265 He Belongs to the Tribe

Linni, Ye, Baishu, Baiji, Yan, and Azhi went down the mountain to attend Feng's first bonfire party after his return. They didn't fly, but slowly walked down the mountain in the afterglow of the setting sun, and saw Feng coming up when they reached the foot of the mountain.

Lin Ni ran over with a smile: "Feng, what brings you here?"

Feng said, "I'm afraid you'll forget the time."

Lin Ni took his hand and said, "We've been walking down the mountain. Are you done with your work?"

Feng nodded: "I wasn't busy. I just chatted with everyone and practiced the drums for a bit."

Feng led them to the bonfire near the Tiger Gate, where Mei, Li, and their partners were already there. Feng said, "You sit with your mother and the others. I'll go beat the drum and come back to keep you company."

Linni nodded and called out to Mei and Li, "Mei's mother, Li's mother."

Yang and Fei are both not here; they probably have other things to do.

Bai Zhu and Bai Ji also called out to Mei, "Mother!"

Yan called out to Li, "Mother."

Because Yan can fly, although he spends most of his time at the Thousand-Foot Cliff, he will return to the Tiger Beast Tribe for a few days every season, after all, this is the place where he was born and raised.

Mei and Li often saw Atractylodes macrocephala, Bletilla striata, and Flame, so they weren't particularly interested in them. They simply nodded. Mei then pulled Lin Ni to sit down next to her and whispered, "Is the Beast God still on the North Mountain?"

Linni nodded and said, "He said that today's main character should be Feng."

The American asked, "What is the protagonist?"

Lin Ni said, "She's the person everyone's been paying the most attention to."

At this moment, a deep and powerful drumbeat came from the high platform on the other side of Tiger Gate. Lin Ni looked over and saw that Feng was once again standing on the high platform above the long corridor behind Tiger Gate, right in the middle of the nine male beastmen. They were all waving their hands and hitting the big drum hard, just like ten years ago.

As the drums sounded, everyone shouted in unison, and the entire square erupted in cheers. When the drums stopped, the square fell silent. Yang, the chieftain of the Tiger Beast Tribe, didn't step forward to speak as usual. Instead, Feng straightened up on the platform and called out loudly, "Have all the members of the Tiger Beast Tribe arrived?"

All the tribespeople present let out a wild, beast-like roar: "Here—!"

Feng clenched his right hand, raised it high above his head, and said, "I, Feng the Tiger Beastman, have returned!"

All the orcs present let out a series of frenzied roars. The genius orc who had disappeared for ten years had reappeared before them.

Feng raised his hands, silencing everyone. His deep voice echoed throughout the Tiger Beast Tribe square: "The Beast God has dispelled the evil aura on the continent and has begun to observe you all in his world. We, the Tiger Beast Tribe, are the Beast God's most steadfast followers and most sincere guardians. During the Beast God's descent, please do not disturb him. Let us do our best, and we believe that the Beast God will hear our voices, remain with us, and continue to bless us. Now, let us all sing the 'Song of the Beast God' and pray to the Beast God together."

After saying that, Feng led everyone in beating the drums again. The deep, rhythmic drumbeats resumed, and everyone stood up, holding hands and singing the mysterious songs of the Tiger Beast Tribe. They sang and danced around the campfire to the rhythm of the drums.

The flames of the bonfire danced with sparks of hope, reflecting the bright white full moon in the sky and illuminating the dark night. The roaring fire glowed on everyone's faces, and a passion for a better life rose within the burning flames.

Linni danced along with everyone, her eyes fixed on Feng. Feng wasn't particularly handsome among Linni's companions—mainly because some of them were too good-looking—but at that moment, he was truly charismatic. He belonged to the tribe; returning to the Tiger Beast Tribe, standing in that spotlight, felt like a true resurrection. Linni felt it was a waste to keep such a powerful being, born for the collective, confined to her side, spending his days eating and sleeping.

The dancing lasted about half an hour, the drumbeats gradually growing louder before ending in a thrilling climax. Everyone returned to their seats. By then, the game roasting over the campfire was fully cooked, and the entire square was filled with the aroma of roasting meat. The men began distributing the meat, placing it in fruit shells, stone bowls, or leaves before the women. The women ate the meat and various fruits, chatting and laughing in the firelight. Feng, meeting Linni's gaze, jumped down from the platform and walked towards her with a smile.

The bonfire party ended in joy. Linni sat on Feng's arm and returned with her six companions to her first real home on the Orc Continent. Apart from the Tiger Beast Tribe and the Central Forest, she didn't feel at home anywhere else; it was just a place she had lived in before.

After returning home, Linni invited Yao to go to the hot springs together. The beastmen generally disliked hot springs, but because Linni liked them, everyone had gotten used to the unpleasant smell. While soaking in the hot springs, Linni said, "Yao, how about we stay here for two years?"

Yao nodded and said, "Okay."

Hearing that Linni would be staying here for two years, Feng, Baishu, Baiji, and Yan were all very happy. Feng said, "There are still many places in the Tiger Beast Tribe that Linni hasn't been to yet. We can have a good time exploring them over the next two years."

Linni nodded and said, "Okay. I plan to give birth to Feng's tiger cub here. When I was pregnant with Ye's baby and Bai's baby, I was always traveling around. This time, I want to stay in the tribe. I'll also watch Bai Qiu and Bai Shi come of age, and then we'll leave here and return to live in the Central Forest."

Since they had decided to live in the tiger tribe for two years, their house was a bit small.

So the next day, Linnie started discussing building a new house with everyone. This time she wanted to build many rooms, and she suggested that everyone should have their own room, just like the houses in the Central Forest, which she called private space.

The orcs of the Orcish Continent don't value privacy because they don't have much time to stay in their dwellings. They need to go out hunting, gathering resources, and performing tribe duties. However, Linni's partner level is too high; nothing is too difficult for them, so they have more free time. Since they have more free time, they can't always stay together, so individual rooms are necessary.

They plan to build a new house next to the hot springs in the back mountain, so Linni can soak in the hot springs whenever she wants. These three small hot springs seem to have become Linni's private space, so let's build them then.

With too many partners, each needing their own room would require eleven rooms. So Linni decided to build a courtyard house. Luckily, she had brought books on architecture with her, otherwise she wouldn't know anything about it.
