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

Chapter 17 Companion Mark

Besides the cooking utensils, Linni also had Ye make four wooden bowls so they could share the food. However, using chopsticks seemed a bit difficult for them; Bai Shu and Bai Ji, the two white tigers, definitely couldn't learn, and even Ye couldn't learn to use chopsticks, so he could only use a stone fork and a wooden spoon. Linni herself used stainless steel chopsticks she brought from her original world. After everything was finished, Linni's period finally ended.

Linni filled a bowl of meat soup for herself, Ye, Baishu, and Baiji, and sat down with them. She said, "In my old tribe, we would all eat together on happy occasions or special days. Let's have a reunion dinner together today."

Ye looked at the bowl of meat soup and said, "Is this what you call a reunion dinner?"

Linni said with a smile, "A reunion dinner means that all the people who live together sit down together to eat food."

Ye glanced at Lin Ni, then at the two white tigers. They had lived together for so long, and although he still looked down on the two tigers, he had tacitly accepted them as his companions. So he nodded and asked, "What should we do for the reunion dinner?"

Linni smiled and shook her head: "You don't need to do anything, just be happy."

So the two men and two tigers had a reunion dinner together. Although the meal was the same as usual, it was still nice to sit together, chat, and eat.

During this time, Ye had taken such good care of her, which truly moved Lin Ni. He was so good to her! Not only did he work tirelessly without complaint, but he even washed her clothes that had been soiled by her monthly allowance. And lying with this charismatic and strong man every day, being held by him as she fell asleep, was quite arousing. Just like Ye had said the other day, she had developed feelings for him. Since she wanted him too, then so be it. While taking a bath, Lin Ni touched the flame mark on her left shoulder and quietly asked, "Yao, I want to be Ye's partner. Would you mind?"

However, the Flame Mark did not react as usual, so let's just assume it's tacit.

Although she initially approached Yao with the intention of a one-night stand, she wouldn't mind a passionate romance if he stayed by her side. After all, she was immediately drawn to his appearance, and she believed many romances begin with mutual attraction. Feelings can develop from nothing to something, from shallow to deep, and anything is possible as long as two people are sincere. She even thought that if a man treated her as well as Ye, Lin Ni would definitely be devoted to him, and in her original world, they might even have gotten married. However, reality was different. Since then, he had never appeared in her life again. She couldn't live her life based on memories; she needed to move forward and find her own happiness. Therefore, she had no qualms about finding another man, whether for a romantic relationship or to start a new family.

During this time, because they were busy making all kinds of furniture, Bai Zhu and Bai Ji left the cave relatively late. Seeing that Lin Ni was already in bed early this morning, they quietly left. Ye could actually sense that Lin Ni was a little different from usual tonight, but he couldn't put his finger on it. As he was about to climb into bed with Lin Ni, she looked up at him and said, "Ye, why don't you go take a shower first?"

They had learned to obey Linni's requests unconditionally during this time, so Ye said okay, then turned around, left the cave, jumped into the lake, swam quickly around, and came back.

Night returned to Linni's side and lay down. As on nights when she didn't have menstrual cramps, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, kissing her repeatedly. He loved deep kisses where their lips and tongues intertwined. Night had always remembered what Linni had said before. Although Linni hadn't said "no" tonight, Night still obediently held her in his arms and prepared to sleep when he was a little too overwhelmed by the kisses.

Lin Ni blushed and said softly, "Ye, you must have been terrified these past few days."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bie hugged her tightly in return: "Yes, are you all better now?"

He heard her voice, barely audible, coming from his arms: "Yes, it's all better now."

Linni was finally better, and Ye was overjoyed. Looking at Linni's flushed face, he said, "Thank God, you're finally better!" Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, reached out and pulled Linni out of his arms, looked into her watery eyes and said, "Lin, let's become partners!"

The cave in the primeval forest was too dark; only the embers of a fire provided a sliver of light. Linni looked at the night sky, its silvery light shining like a glowing eye, and nodded gently in the dim light.

Night happily kissed her lips...

Linni didn't know when she fell asleep, only that the silver snake-turned-beastman had been tirelessly working. When she woke up the next day, he was still not finished. Linni felt like her body wasn't even her own anymore. She asked in surprise, "Night, didn't you sleep at all last night?"

The night voice replied hoarsely, "I don't want to sleep, I want to mate with you."

Lin Ni was so angry that she hit him a few times: "You, you stop right now!"

Night finally ended after Linni's vehement accusations. Linni said bitterly, "Ying She!"

Linni noticed a snake tattoo appearing below the flame mark on her left shoulder. Its lower body coiled, while its upper body looked upwards. The tattoo was only about the size of two one-yuan coins combined. The snake pattern was like a colorless tattoo done by an ordinary person, but its back had seven slightly darker rhombuses. Seven? Weren't there only six rhombuses before?

Linni also noticed that the flame mark seemed to have turned a little redder. The first time she saw it, it was clearly colorless, but it had slowly tinged with a faint red. Unable to guess the reason for the change in the partner mark, Linni didn't pay much attention to it. She simply said to Ye, "Ye, don't you have six rhombuses on you? But why is there seven on this partner mark?"

Night happily told her, "I'm a level seven beastman now! The beast god's power within you is very strong. After we became partners, I leveled up!"

Lin Ni: The power of the Beast God within me is very strong? When did I learn to cultivate? How come I didn't know?

Night stretched his left shoulder toward Linni: "You really are the legendary female blessed by the Beast God."

Linni looked up and saw a new tattoo on his left shoulder, in the same spot as her own flame tattoo. It depicted a girl sitting sideways with her knees bent and legs drawn up. The tattoo was like a line drawing; although she was completely naked, the posture and her long, flowing hair concealed her private parts. Linni smiled: the tattoo really did resemble her! It was amazing! She reached out and touched it; the texture was no different from her original skin.
