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

Chapter 175 Ling's Confession

Linni had become familiar with them and didn't feel shy at all. She even said nonchalantly, "Oh, but I'll still die very soon now."

Ling pursed her lips again: "If I were with Lin, I would be willing to spend three hundred years reminiscing about the happy days we spent together."

Lin Ni was suddenly charmed by his words. She thought she wouldn't blush, but her face still felt a little hot after hearing them. She pressed on relentlessly, asking, "What are you thinking? I'm just curious. I don't mean to accept you."

Hearing her say that, Yao and Ye couldn't help but laugh. You don't accept her feelings, yet you still listen to her confession? That's such a jerk! Bai and Yan weren't there; they were out catching oil pigs, otherwise they would definitely have burst out laughing.

Xuan and Ling's expressions turned sour after hearing Lin Ni's words.

Ling said to Lin Ni, "I really, really like you! I admit I didn't like you before. It's not that I didn't like you, it's just that I didn't plan to become your partner. But after spending time together, I think you're a very kind, intelligent, and gentle female. You treat your partner very well. You're so beautiful, yet you don't take advantage of your looks to find many partners. You're also very eloquent, and you sing so well. You're wholeheartedly dedicated to completing the task given to you by the Beast God, unafraid of difficulties, and not spoiled... In short, I think you're wonderful. The longer I spend with you, the more I like you. I'm afraid if I don't say it now, I might never have the chance again. Someone as wonderful as you, am I not good enough for you? Although I feel a little unworthy of you, I still want to tell you, I like you!"

After saying all that, Ling looked at Lin Ni with such enthusiasm, her face full of sincerity and love, and a hint of expectation: "So, would you consider becoming my partner?"

Such a sincere confession stunned Lin Ni. She had always thought of herself as an ordinary person and never imagined that she was such a wonderful presence in his heart.

Just then, Bai and Yan returned carrying a large fat pig and some game. Seeing everyone silent, with Lin Ni and Ling staring at each other, they asked curiously, "What's going on? What important matter are you discussing?"

"It's nothing." Lin Ni said, her eyes lowered, and turned to leave. She wanted to escape this matter, to avoid facing Ling at this moment. She didn't think he was unworthy of her, but her impression of him wasn't very good: putting aside the fact that their delay caused her to lose Feng—she knew that Xuan and Ling weren't to blame—their attitude of always soaking in the pool when they first joined Lin Ni's team, their lackadaisical attitude, made her have a very bad impression of them. Even though they had changed later, it was still clear that they were very undisciplined beastmen. If they could treat the beast god's oracle with such an attitude, how could she expect them to be good to her?

Xuan and Ling didn't say anything more, so everyone started slaughtering pigs and rendering oil. There would be a lot of smoke and fumes during the oil rendering process. Learning from their experience in the Jinji tribe, this time they placed the stone pot directly outside the tree hole so as not to make a mess of their living area.

Besides frying various meats, Lin Ni also frys various meatballs and some glutinous rice cakes made from flour. The pork bones are used to make bone broth, which will be delicious when eaten together.

The smell of oil being rendered was very strong, and soon many women from the tribe arrived, including A-Ping and her group. Having worked together on pearl jewelry the previous day, everyone had gotten to know each other, and when they heard that Linni and her group were going to make various delicacies, all the women wanted to participate. Linni thought for a moment and decided that everyone could join in, but they would have to provide the ingredients. Linni suggested that each family prepare one dish, and then they could all eat together. This suggestion was unanimously approved.

So everyone sent their partners to find ingredients. Looking at the various ingredients they had collected, Linni began teaching everyone how to make all sorts of foods they had never thought of or eaten before: families with partners who could go underwater made fish balls, while the other female families were randomly assigned tasks, some made dumplings; some made steamed meat patties; some made mud-baked chicken; some made egg soup; some made kebabs; some made rice sushi, since everyone liked raw meat, so they could wrap it in rice, satisfying two wishes at once; there were also noodles; steamed buns appeared; and various fried skewers... After the oil was rendered, Linni sent everyone to fry the skewers. Frying things is very hot, so she didn't want Yao and the others to do it, showing how biased she was towards her own men.

Yao naturally became a great teacher as well. Even at night, Bai went around guiding the orcs who had discovered the problems. Although their cooking wasn't particularly delicious, after watching Yao cook so much, they learned to make quite a few dishes. As for Yan, she carried Lin Ni around, acting as her legs, otherwise Lin Ni would have been exhausted. To cover up the smell of blood on her, she always carried a piece of meat with her.

The Beast Tribe has temporarily launched a food carnival. Yesterday, one riverbank was lined with beastmen making headdresses; today, another riverbank is lined with beastmen preparing food. The women, dressed in their newly made, beautiful clothes, strolled between the various stoves, successfully indulging in a wide variety of delicacies by mid-afternoon. Everyone unknowingly ate until they were stuffed!

Ah Ping said, "I never knew there were so many ways to cook food! Lin, you're amazing! These dishes are so delicious!"

Qing said, "Yeah! I'm so full!"

Aruo said, "Lin, you are truly the smartest female on the Beastman Continent!"

Other females: "Yeah, yeah!"

Linni smiled and said, "These cooking methods were taught to us by the Beast God. From now on, we females will be able to dress up beautifully and eat all kinds of delicious food."

All the women: "Thank you, Beast God!"

As Lin Ni, having successfully eaten her fill, slowly walked back to her tree hollow, she saw four orcs (Luo, Su, and Guang) from the Eagle Beast Tribe, led by Lan, waiting in front of her dwelling. When Lin Ni saw them, Xuan and Ling also walked up behind her; clearly, they had seen the group earlier and had been waiting for her. Lin Ni smiled at them, took Yao's hand, and continued walking back at a leisurely pace.

Lan and the others greeted Lin Ni with smiles: "Lin, sorry to bother you."

Linni had a good impression of these eagle-beastmen, and it was thanks to them that Ye and the others were brought to the Eagle Beast Tribe. She smiled and said, "Lan, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lan said, "I heard that the orcs of the Beast Carving Tribe are organizing orcs to go to the Rainforest Swamp with you. I would like to ask when you plan to set off for the Rainforest Swamp? We would also like to go with you."
