Chapter 91 You asked for it yourself
"The night Ye left..." Lin Ni belatedly realized that they were all asleep in the restaurant that night, and they might have heard her voice clearly! Thinking of this, she blushed slightly. Actually, she didn't want to have a child; she still wanted to return to the modern world. She was already a little reluctant to leave them, and if she had a child, she didn't know if she would still be able to bear leaving on that day. Wasn't it said that a female needed to activate the power of the Beast God to conceive? But she hadn't prayed to the Beast God!
Thinking of activating the Beast God's power, Lin Ni recalled her dream. In the dream, she seemed to have used a shield formed by the so-called Beast God's power to block the sparks from the explosions? That's how it happened, and then the Beast God and everyone else assumed she was pregnant with Ye's child? And so she got pregnant? No wonder Ye looked so surprised when she woke up that night. She wondered what he was so happy about. He thought she was willing to give birth to his little snakes, so he was overjoyed! The thought of a nest of snakes inside her stomach suddenly gave Lin Ni goosebumps all over her body. Her stomach churned, filled with fear and nausea: "Ugh—" She forcefully covered her mouth, almost vomiting on Yao, and it took her a long time to suppress the nausea. Then she reached out and grabbed Yao, helplessly on the verge of tears, asking in a trembling voice, "Yao, is there a nest of little snakes inside me?"
Yao gently pulled her into his arms and stroked her back lightly: "No, don't be afraid. They're just two snake eggs."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ni's heart, which had been pounding with fear, finally calmed down: Right, in her nervousness, she had momentarily forgotten that snakes are oviparous, not viviparous. She wouldn't have to give birth to baby snakes; laying eggs would be easier to accept. Besides, she'd heard that snakes lay many eggs in a single litter, and if she only laid two, that would be alright, thank goodness!
Lin Ni quickly calmed down and hugged Yao tightly. She wondered if he would be sad that her first child wasn't his. Lin Ni lifted herself from Yao's embrace, kissed his lips, and turned to Bai and the others, saying, "I thought I wasn't pregnant, and now I know I am, so I'm very surprised. You all knew, why didn't anyone tell me?"
Men: You asked for it yourself, why do we need to tell you?
Yao gently comforted her, saying, "It's good that Lin's first litter is a snake egg. Snake eggs aren't big, so they're easy to lay. Once she has the experience, she won't be afraid of laying tiger cubs in the future."
Upon hearing this, Feng and Bai both looked at Lin Ni with anticipation, and Lin Ni smiled at them.
Yan interjected, "Eagle eggs are bigger than snake eggs, but they are also easy to lay."
Lin Ni smiled at Yan, then suddenly said, "So I'm pregnant! I'm tired, I want to rest!" She then got up and pulled Yao back to their room. Everyone watched them go into the room, thinking Lin Ni might have something to say to Yao, but to their surprise, Lin Ni didn't say a word after returning to the room. She lay down, hugged Yao, and closed her eyes to rest.
Yao was a little worried about her; she didn't seem happy at all. So he hugged her tightly and said, "Lin, I'll stay with you."
Linni nodded: "Let me rest for a while."
Yao kissed the top of her head and said nothing more.
Lin Ni nestled in Yao's arms, her hand involuntarily touching her belly. Her stomach had been flat before, and now, although there was a slight tummy bulge, it was impossible to tell she was pregnant without someone saying so. Lin Ni silently murmured to herself: "Babies, Mommy doesn't dislike you, I'm just a little afraid of snakes. You're here now, Mommy will give birth to you. You won't bite Mommy after you're born, right?" Then, a hint of resentment crept into her mind: "Beast God, you're such a jerk!" She slowly gathered her thoughts and then, without realizing it, fell asleep.
For the next few days, Linni seemed no different from before. She ate and slept as usual, until one day Feng and Bai went hunting together.
After winter arrived, they would go hunting every two or three days. Before, Feng and Yan would go together, while Bai and Yao would go together. However, ever since Lin Ni saw Bai carrying Yao last time, she forbade Bai and Yao to go together. She said, "You two brothers should go together. It'll be a good opportunity to strengthen your relationship! Yao can ride on Yan's back and fly there and back quickly! Yan can find the prey, and Yao can shoot it with his bow and arrow from above. Isn't that great!"
Then the four men had no choice but to agree unconditionally. Only Bai glanced at Feng with a displeased expression, but ultimately remained silent. He was afraid that if he said another word, Lin Ni would not only forbid him from holding Yao, but she herself would also forbid him from holding Yao. However, hunting with two tigers was indeed much more harmonious than hunting with Yao, and Yao and Yan were also very compatible. Yao was very convenient whether using a bow and arrow or throwing wooden spears at a distance.
Lin Ni waited for Feng and Bai for about half an hour before saying to Yan, "Yan, I want to talk to Yao about something. Could you keep watch around the house for me and make sure no one gets close?"
Seeing her solemn expression, Yan nodded seriously: "Okay."
Lin Ni watched Yan walk out and said, "You should let me know in advance when Feng and Bai are back."
Yan understood what she meant; she meant that neither of them could listen. So he said, "Don't worry! I'll just circle in the sky, and no animal or beastman will be allowed near." He thought for a moment and then added, "I won't eavesdrop either. Listen to my eagle's cry; one cry is a warning, two cries are a reminder, and three cries mean someone has come in."
Lin Ni nodded in satisfaction: "Yan, you've thought of everything! The eagle truly lives up to its reputation as the ruler of the blue sky!"
Yan was overjoyed: So I'm such a powerful figure in Lin's heart? That's right, I am the overlord of the blue sky! Then he went out as if he had received some sacred mission.
After Yao waited for him to leave, he went over and blocked the restaurant door. Because the winter wind was too strong, the half-open wooden stake used to block the door had been moved to the room. The main entrance to the house had been replaced with a large square stone slab, half a meter thick, which most animals couldn't break through. Then Yao looked at Lin Ni: "What does Lin want to say to me?"
Linni pulled Yao into the innermost part of the cave where the items were stored. Suddenly, she didn't know how to start a conversation, so she hugged his waist tightly and buried her face in his chest. Yao didn't ask any more questions, but simply stroked her hair gently again and again.
After thinking for a while, Lin Ni said in Mandarin, "This is my first pregnancy, but I'm not carrying Yao's baby. Will Yao be unhappy?"
Yao gently stroked her hair again and again: "No. Xiao Ni can have whose baby she wants."
Lin Ni: "I didn't mean to!" She looked up at Yao with a slightly aggrieved expression, then suddenly asked, "If Yao and I have a cub, will I be able to find out Yao's beast form?"
Yao thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, but I feel that I can't let Xiao Ni give birth to cubs yet."
