Chapter 109: Becoming a Partner with Yan Jinji Tribe
Lin Ni dozed off for a while, then opened her eyes to see everyone busy. They divided the work, boiling water, making dinner (since it was semi-cooked, it didn't require much cooking skill, so Ye and Bai could do it well, but Feng, well, forget about it), and tidying up the bedding. They quickly got everything ready.
After finishing her meal, Linni took a relaxing hot bath, washing away the day's fatigue. However, the nights on the Orc Continent were quite boring; if she didn't do something shameful, she could only go to sleep.
Following their plan, Lin Ni lay in Yan's arms. She had just taken an afternoon nap and thought she wouldn't be able to sleep. It had been raining on and off for some time, and listening to the rain, Lin Ni couldn't help but reach out and hold Yao's hand, and then she quickly fell asleep.
That night, Linni returned to the volcanic space. This time, she didn't see the dimly lit area; she appeared directly above the lava. As soon as she appeared, Linni immediately guided her body towards the large lava lake in the center of the volcano. The lava lake still gurgled, occasionally bubbling and occasionally bursting into sparks. Because she didn't feel the heat, she was no longer afraid. After watching the lava lake for a while, she floated towards its center. The lava lake was vast; she floated for a long time until finally, at its center, she saw a gigantic, burning fireball suspended above the lava. Looking into the distance, Linni realized this fireball was the center of the volcanic space? She unconsciously murmured, "What...is this?"
Yan's voice came from beside him, asking, "Lin, what did you say?"
"Yan." Lin Ni slowly opened her eyes and met Yan's happy, bright eyes.
Yan happily lowered his head and kissed Lin Ni's lips: "Lin, I've leveled up to level seven!"
"Ah, oh!" Linni, who had been thinking about the volcano space, suddenly heard him say that he had leveled up to level seven. She looked at his forehead and saw that the six on his forehead had indeed turned into a seven. She couldn't help but feel happy for him: "Yan, that's great! Congratulations!"
"Congratulations to me? What do you mean by congratulating me?" Yan asked, puzzled.
Linni looked up and kissed his lips: "It just means I'm happy for you."
Yan smiled happily, then looked at her eagerly: "Lin, let's become partners!"
This… so early in the morning, she couldn't help but look up at the resting place they had found the night before. It was a small cave, or rather, a crack in the rock, but it was enough to shelter them from the wind and rain. Yao and Bai were making a fire not far away, while Feng and Ye were nowhere to be seen; they were probably out hunting. Lin Ni felt a little embarrassed. It wasn't that she hadn't tried *that* in the morning before, but that was at home, in a private space. This was the wilderness!
Yan reached out and hugged her tightly, burying his head in her hair and whispering, "I've been waiting for so long, please say yes?"
With a mixture of trepidation and pleading, Lin Ni couldn't refuse. She reached out and cupped his face, seeing his fair skin flushed crimson, his eyes filled with expectation and fear. Lin Ni's heart melted completely, and she smiled as she kissed his pale red lips. Yan was a little nervous; after Lin Ni's kiss, he stood there, frozen, waiting for her to kiss him gently for a while before shyly returning her kiss, his hands slowly beginning to caress her body.
Sensing his awkwardness, Linni felt a sense of novelty. Although her previous partners had also been a little rusty during their first time, they had quickly found their way with their enthusiasm. Yan seemed a bit lost, perhaps because he rarely got close to Linni or because he was intimidated by Feng's first time. Linni could only suppress her shyness and guide him.
Then, Yan gave her another new experience; he actually finished in just over ten minutes! In her original world, she hadn't researched how long men usually lasted. Ye and Yao both lasted a long time, especially Ye, which annoyed her a bit. At first, she thought all men were like that, then Feng and Bai lasted less than an hour, so she figured most men were like that, only Ye and Yao were a little different. And Yan… Yan was still very unsatisfied after the first time, and quickly started a second round with Lin Ni. Lin Ni hadn't been satisfied either, so she didn't refuse. Yan's second round probably lasted about half an hour; this time, both of them were satisfied.
Although everyone acted as if nothing had happened, Lin Ni was still a little embarrassed after getting up. However, Yan had been by her side since last autumn, and now that spring was almost halfway through, it was only natural for them to be together. Lin Ni took a hot bath and saw that there was now a soaring black eagle next to Feng's mate mark on her left arm. She was now a female who truly had five mates. Because Yan had just reached level seven and then partnered with Lin Ni, he hadn't leveled up again after that. Yao said he needed to go through some battles before he could level up again.
After eating and drinking their fill, they resumed their journey southwards towards the towering cliffs. That afternoon, they arrived at the Jinji tribe, the closest tribe to Chujian Mountain.
The Golden Pheasant Tribe was hidden behind a dense thicket of bushes. When they reached the bushes, Feng transformed into a tiger-headed, tiger-armed human, and Yan turned his hands into wings. Lin Ni glanced at Ye, who mostly remained in snake tail form, while only Bai and Yao maintained their human forms. Bai had been carrying the luggage for the past two days, unable to transform into a half-human, half-beast form. He was either in human form or as two white tigers, which he found frustrating. However, Yao said that reaching level nine should resolve this awkward situation, which made Bai feel confident again.
Linni held Yao's hand and asked, puzzled, "Why did they turn out like this?"
Feng said, "This way everyone can immediately tell that we are high-level orcs. The Golden Pheasant Tribe only has two level-seven orcs, so they won't dare to neglect us."
As soon as they entered the bushes, three golden pheasants, each over a meter tall with yellow heads, red bellies, and brown tails, walked towards them. Then, under Linni's gaze, they transformed into three males. They all had bright yellow, shoulder-length hair, wore short skirts woven from red feathers, and, most notably, all had yellow skin, but their eyes were the black and yellow of birds. Their pectoral muscles were extremely exaggerated, while their lower bodies were disproportionately small, like characters from an animated series—like Superman from GG Bond, or even more exaggerated. Thinking of Superman and the anime GG Bond, Linni couldn't help but laugh.
The leading male, a level 5 orc, and the other two males were both level 4. They approached with smiles on their faces: "Hello, lovely little female and several high-ranking males! Is there anything our Golden Pheasant tribe can do to help you?"
