HCB Chapter 267 I'm Willing to Be Your Sycamore Tree (The Finale)
Chapter 267 I'm Willing to Be Your Sycamore Tree (The Finale)
But to her surprise, her current partners were all too powerful: three level-nine beastmen, six heavenly-rank beastmen, and a beast god. How could they possibly make her feel dizzy and weak due to insufficient energy? Lin Ni's beautiful wish to get through the long and boring winter failed, so she could only keep thinking of things to pass the time during her pregnancy.
Linni first played "Big Two" (a card game) with her partners for a few days, then taught them how to play "Dou Dizhu" (another card game), but there were too many people, so "Dou Dizhu" could only be played by three people. So she had everyone make several more decks of cards. Then she thought of playing "Upgrading" (another card game), so she taught everyone how to play it. Playing with four decks of cards takes a lot of time; just drawing cards takes half a day. This winter was finally not boring.
Ye was a card-playing expert as always, so Linni teamed up with him. At first, everyone just played along to pass the time, accepting whatever they lost. However, Linni later said that whoever beat Ye would sleep with him on her day off, so everyone gritted their teeth and challenged Ye. Ye was forced to play "Upgrading" for over ten days, and by the end, his hands were shaking at the sight of the cards. He protested vehemently, "Lin, you can't do this! I'm terrified of cards!"
Linni said, "Then let's play with Baiji and Feng." These two are the best card players besides Ye.
Then, while everyone was playing cards like crazy, Lin Ni started playing Go, Chinese chess, and five-finger chess with Yao.
This winter ended quickly amidst everyone's card and board game time.
During this pregnancy, she stayed home and rested well, fully experiencing what it's like to be a pregnant woman. Lin Ni is also having twins this time, so her belly doesn't look much bigger than when she was pregnant with Bai Qiu and Bai Shi. Lin Ni particularly emphasized the treatment she should receive as a pregnant woman, such as abstaining from sexual intercourse during the early and late stages of pregnancy.
Then, on the last day of spring, she gave birth to two adorable and robust yellow tiger cubs. Since Linni had named all the previous cubs, Feng also asked her to choose a nice name for the little yellow tigers. Linni didn't know if anyone had the surname Feng, so she asked Feng, "Would you like the tiger cubs to have the surname Feng, or Huang?"
Feng asked curiously, "Why is your surname Huang? What's the connection to the name Huang?" Huang is his sister's name.
Linni said, "No, I just thought you were all tigresses."
Feng said, "Let's keep Feng as our surname."
Lin Ni then named her fifth child "Feng Sheng" and her sixth child "Feng Yu".
This time, she only nursed them for sixty days and then stopped. Although many females nurse them for a hundred days, these two tiger cubs already had several small teeth by sixty days old. Once, Feng Sheng accidentally bit Lin Ni, and then Yao wouldn't let her nurse them anymore. Since they had small teeth, they would eat meat puree instead.
They lived in the Tiger Beast Tribe for two and a half years, watching Bai Qiu and Bai Shi grow up, and then watching the beautiful and lovely Bai Qiu find a tiger and a silver wolf as her mates before leaving the Tiger Beast Tribe with Feng Sheng and Feng Yu.
After returning to the Central Forest for a year, Linni went to live with the Eagle Beast Tribe for another year, where she gave birth to Azhi's babies—three pure white eagle eggs. These two eggs, like Feng's two tiger cubs, are both male. Azhi's three white eagle cubs all take Linni's surname; Azhi requested this, and Linni naturally agreed. They can take either the father's or mother's surname, it's fine.
Actually, the Bear Beast Tribe is also a matriarchal society. They all live with the females, and the relationships between grandparents and great-grandparents are only recognized on the mother's side, not the father's. The mother's great-grandmother is called "Grandma," but the males are all called "Grandpa." The mother's father doesn't have a special title. Azhi and Tiantian are very close, and Azhi was somewhat influenced by Tiantian when it came to naming; he felt he should take Linni's surname.
However, when A-Zhi said that the three little white eagles had Lin Ni's surname, everyone still gave him a barrage of glares: You little white eagle, you're a cunning little devil!
White eagles don't need to nurse, so Linni's postpartum recovery was much easier. After the three white eagle cubs learned to fly, Linni took them to the Bear Beast Tribe, where she gave birth to Tiantian's black and white bear cub. Surprisingly, this little black and white bear was a female. Linni was overjoyed; she loved both black and white bears and females. Females were so rare, so Linni naturally doted on her second daughter, Lin Xiaotian.
Tian Tian's little black and white bear cub also took Lin Ni's surname and was named Lin Xiaotian.
They lived in the Bear Beast tribe for three years before returning to the Central Forest. Linni planned to stay with their father's tribe for a while when the children were almost adults.
Looking at this group of husbands and children, Lin Ni suddenly thought of the monogamous system in the Chinese world. She had ten husbands, one big and nine small. She couldn't help but ask, "Yao, you are such a powerful beast god of the Phoenix Realm. How do you think you have so many men as your partners?"
Yao pulled her into his arms and said gently, "Females give birth to life and give birth to all races, so females should be superior to males. When I chose to become male and escape the pain of childbirth, I placed myself below females."
Yao cupped her face and kissed her lips: "You are my phoenix tree. I don't care how much pollen the wind blows, or how much fruit your tree bears. I'm happy for you if the life you reproduce can grow in the Phoenix Realm; or if you don't bear fruit, it doesn't matter. What I love is you as a tree. As long as you can stay in the Phoenix Realm, so that I, a phoenix with a lonely and long life, can have a branch to perch on, that's the most beautiful thing."
Does it matter whether there is only one bird perched on this sycamore tree?
Lin Ni held Yao's face and gave him a deep kiss: "I'm willing to be your sycamore tree, so that you can always rest on me."
On the vast and boundless continent of the orcs, the sun and moon alternate, endlessly revolving. As time quietly flows by, the seasons change like a revolving lantern. This magical land has witnessed the birth, growth, and demise of countless lives, among which many powerful beings have emerged.
Meanwhile, a new evil force is quietly rising in the darkness, attempting to erode this vibrant world. However, no matter how the outside world changes, the Phoenix Realm steadfastly follows the land of China. The Phoenix Realm and many smaller worlds orbit around China in the void like satellites.
Chinese civilization is flourishing and growing ever more prosperous. Its splendid cultural treasures, advanced scientific and technological achievements, and its brave and fearless people have collectively forged the glory of this great nation. This also makes the stories in the Phoenix Realm and its many smaller worlds increasingly fascinating.
