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

Chapter 128 Different Colored Rank Symbols

Night, White, and Flame quietly moved the rocks at the cave entrance and entered, then carefully blocked the entrance again. Flame transformed into a black eagle and guarded the cave entrance. Night and White walked over together, Night lying down on her other side, while White lay down above them. No one spoke; they were as quiet as if asleep. Yao's breathing was very light, almost inaudible. Lin Ni leaned against Yao's chest, only hearing his steady, strong heartbeat, and then slowly fell asleep.

In her dream, Linni found herself back in the volcanic space, appearing directly above the lava. Familiarly, she controlled her body, drifting towards the large lava lake in the center of the volcano. The lava lake still gurgled, occasionally bubbling and occasionally bursting into sparks. Upon reaching the lake, she drifted directly towards its center. Passing the wide expanse of lava, she saw again the enormous fireball suspended above its center. She didn't know what she was doing here, or where she was supposed to go; she hadn't found anything. But in the past, whenever she tried to get close to the fireball, she would wake up. So this time, she could only drift slowly towards the fireball as before. Then she felt a repulsive force, like an aura, around the fireball preventing her from getting closer. Logically, she should have woken up at this point. But this time, she didn't. She continued to press forward, as if lying on a balloon or a dozen layers of quilts, slowly moving forward, getting closer and closer to the burning lava. Just as she was about to touch it, she seemed to hear a "thump, thump" of her heartbeat.

Lin Ni unconsciously looked up and saw Yao's strong chest. So that was Yao's heartbeat.

Yao smiled at her, then lowered his head and kissed her lips: "Lin, good morning!"

Linni returned his kiss with her own bright red lips: "Good morning!"

Yao's lips were beautifully shaped and colored, like a cut strawberry, glistening with sweet juice, tempting her to taste them. That's why she wanted to kiss him the first time she saw him; thinking about it made her face flush.

After getting up, Lin Ni did twenty minutes of warm-up exercises in the cave. Then, she went outside with Ye, Yan, and Bai Shu to run for half an hour before returning for breakfast. Bai Ji went hunting, while Yao stayed behind to make breakfast. Because Lin Ni had gone to bed a little late last night, it was already quite late, but the morning sun wasn't too strong yet, and running in the shade of the trees in the forest was quite comfortable.

But as they ran and chatted, they encountered two male beastmen: they were taller than Night, who was nearly two meters tall, but not as robust; their physiques were more like Yan's—tall and thin, like clothes hangers. Both male beastmen had dark blue hair, styled in a 4/6 parted style that reached their chins. To Linni's surprise, they were both wearing snakeskin dresses. Linni, who was used to seeing men in short skirts, was stunned: even though the style was a primitive-looking off-the-shoulder dress, it didn't reveal anything! Aside from Yao, she had never seen male beastmen dressed in summer clothes on the beastman continent before!

Their clothes, one revealing the left shoulder and the other the right, made them appear like mirror images as they walked side by side toward Linni and the others from a distance.

Lin Ni stopped when she saw them. As they slowly approached, she could see their features clearly: dark blue eyebrows, black eyes, and fair skin. Both were handsome, and their features were somewhat similar, suggesting they were brothers. The man on the left had softer features, smooth eyebrows, and a smiling face, while the man on the right had colder features, raised eyebrows, and a somewhat arrogant look. When Lin Ni saw the dark blue "nine" symbol flashing between their brows, Ye and Yan instinctively stepped in front of her.

Ye asked directly, "Why don't we go back first?"

These were two level nine male orcs. Linni, not wanting anything to escalate, nodded and turned to walk back.

A pleasant voice came from behind: "Little female in front, please wait a moment!"

Night said, "Ignore them!"

Bai Shu said, "Lin, come sit down!"

Linni climbed onto Baishu's back. His back was very broad, and if he walked steadily, Linni felt that she could lie flat on his back and sleep.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the orcs behind them hurriedly called out, "Little female, we just wanted to ask you about someone."

Lin Ni glanced at Ye, unsure whether to run away immediately. Would it seem cowardly to run away like that?

"You stay here, we're going first!" Bai Shu said, then carried Lin Ni away.

Linni turned around and saw Ye and Yan standing there waiting for the two male brothers who appeared to be snake-beastmen. They indeed walked over unhurriedly and stopped to talk to Ye and Yan. Linni breathed a sigh of relief; at least they weren't some malicious wandering beastmen. However, a different colored level symbol appeared again; it seemed the beastman continent still held many secrets.

They were jogging nearby and returned to their cave dwelling in just two or three minutes.

Yao smiled and said to them when they returned, "You're back. Come and have breakfast."

Yao made her a bowl of meat porridge and a plate of steamed dumplings, and also fried an egg. Lin Ni sat down happily: "This breakfast is so sumptuous! Yao is so thoughtful!"

Yao and Linni ate breakfast together, during which Linni fed Baishu two dumplings. After everyone finished breakfast, Baiji returned, and then Baiji transformed into human form and said, "Those two males are still with Ye and the others."

Linni asked curiously, "What are they talking about for so long?"

Bai shook his head and said, "I don't know. I wanted to go over, but Ye waved me off. I saw that they weren't talking. Maybe they didn't want those two males to come back with them."

Yao looked at the two of them and asked, "What kind of male?"

Bai then recounted the sighting of the two males on the road, adding, "They seem to be snake-beastmen, but their auras are rather strange."

Linni asked curiously, "If they aren't snake-beastmen, why are they wearing snake skins? Isn't it said that only snake-beastmen's partners wear snake skins?"

Bai shrugged: "Who knows?"

As they were talking, they suddenly heard crickets chirping from a corner. The three exchanged glances and rushed to the corner where the snake eggs were kept. Sure enough, they saw baby snakes struggling inside, seemingly about to hatch. Lin Ni said to Bai, "What should we do? Should we call Ye back?"

Bai hesitated for a moment, then Yao said, "Go ahead and call them. Those two will follow us; they can't stay away forever."

"Alright!" Bai transformed into two white tigers, and Bai Shu turned and ran out of the cave.

Linni watched as one of the eggshells slowly dented, the noise growing louder and louder, with the egg occasionally wobbling. Then the other egg also began to dent and wobble.
