Chapter 215 My Husband and I Go to Marry Xiao 7
A round-faced middle-aged man opened the bamboo door and smiled at Lin Ni and Yao, clearly knowing they were coming: "Come in." Then he looked at the sika deer that Tian Tian was carrying and asked, "Tian Tian, did you go hunting alone?"
“Father! It wasn’t me who went to fight, it was Boss Yao and Yan who went to fight.” After Tian Tian finished speaking, he introduced everyone: “Lin, this is my father. Father, this is Lin and Yao, and this is Yan.”
Tian Tian's father is a level eight black and white bear male, which can be seen from his black hair and white dress, just like Tian Tian's.
Linni smiled at him: "Hello, Uncle!"
Tian Tian's father smiled and nodded: "Lin, Yao, Yan, hello! Come in."
The four followed Tian Tian's father into the house. In the center of the room was a table and several wooden stools, but there was a shelf in the corner filled with various items, giving it a lived-in feel. Inside was a middle-aged man of level seven, seemingly a beastman from the panda clan, judging by his orange-red hair and animal skin skirt. After exchanging greetings, everyone sat down. Only Tian Tian remained, still carrying the deer, standing to one side. Lin Ni nudged Yao, who smiled knowingly and said, "Uncles, it's like this. We've come today mainly to meet Tian Tian's mother and father. We heard she just gave birth yesterday, and this deer is a gift for Tian Tian's mother. We also hope she'll agree to let Tian Tian be our Lin family's companion."
The two males exchanged a glance, and Tian Tian's father said, "As long as Tian Tian likes Lin, we will definitely agree. It is only males who give mating gifts to females, never females who give gifts to male mothers. We cannot accept your sika deer."
Tian Tian finally put down the sika deer, moved the wooden stool closer to Lin Ni, and sat down next to her. He said to his father, "Father, I really like Lin."
Tian Tian's father nodded: "I can see that. But we can't accept the gifts."
Lin Ni then spoke up: "That's how it is. After I'm with Tian Tian, I will take him away from the Bear Beast Tribe."
At this moment, a plump and round middle-aged woman came out of the room and stood at the door of the room. She said to Lin Ni, "We already heard from your mother, who is Tian Tian's grandmother, yesterday that you are going to that stone tablet. It's okay, you can take Tian Tian with you."
Her two partners came to her side and helped her up: "You just gave birth yesterday, what are you doing out here?"
Tian Tian's mother said, "I've come to see Tian Tian's future partner. She's a messenger of the Beast God, so I have to take a look." After saying that, she smiled at Lin Ni and then said to Tian Tian, "Now that you've found a partner, you can't always be so spoiled and lazy. You have to treat her well."
Tian Tian said with a reluctant look, "Mom, I'm not lazy."
Tian Tian's mother smiled and said to Lin Ni, "Take the prey with you, we won't keep it."
Linni wondered if they might be like some people in certain places, worried that accepting too high a dowry would be seen as selling their daughter (or child). So she smiled and said, "Auntie, you've misunderstood. We're bringing the game not to take away the compensation Tian Tian gave you, but to thank you for raising Tian Tian so well. We'll live a good life with him from now on, but you must accept the game. You've just given birth, so take good care of yourself. We hope that after we complete the mission entrusted to us by the Beast God, we can come back to eat roasted meat with you, and play in the fields with Tian Tian's younger siblings, picking peaches and digging bamboo shoots."
Tian Tian's mother walked over with a smile, took Lin Ni's hands and said, "Lin, you're absolutely right, worthy of being the Beast God's messenger! Okay, then I'll accept it. You're all doing well, the Beast God will surely bless you."
Linni nodded and said, "Thank you, Auntie! The Beast God will protect everyone!"
Tian Tian's mother patted her hand, smiled and nodded at Yao and Yan, then went back to her room. Lin Ni and the others didn't linger, chatted for a few more minutes, and then left.
Tian Tian's father saw them off at the door and said, "Tian Tian, when are you going to have the marriage ceremony? If you don't wait for the tribe's next hunting team to set off together, your father will go with you."
Tian Tian looked at Lin Ni and said to her father, "I'll see if there are any men who want to go for the marriage ceremony. If there are, we'll go together. If not, I'll look for you, Father."
Tian Tian's father nodded and waved to him, "Go."
Lin Ni said, "Goodbye, Uncle!" Then she took Yao's hand, pulled Tian Tian along, and they went down the mountain together.
Once they left the area inhabited by the females, Linni said to Yao, "Tian Tian's parents are both very well."
Yao agreed, saying, "Yes."
Because she had just eaten, Linni didn't want to go back to her place right away. She said to Yao, "Yao, let's go pick some peaches and bamboo shoots to eat on the way."
Yao nodded and said, "Okay."
Linni thought for a moment and then asked Tiantian, "Tiantian, can we pick the peaches and bamboo shoots on the outskirts of the tribe? Or do we have to wait until the tribe harvests them and then distribute them together?"
Tian Tian said, "The grain grown in the fields will be distributed uniformly, while peaches and bamboo shoots can be picked freely because there are so many, far too many for everyone to eat."
Linni said happily, "Then let's dig up more, it seems like we can plant them anywhere." If she really settles down in the Beastman Continent in the future, she will plant a bamboo forest next to her place of residence, which will surely be very beautiful.
Lin Ni, somewhat impatient, asked Yao to carry her down the mountain. Yao had Yan carry Lin Ni on his back, and he transformed into his phoenix form, grabbed Tian Tian, and flew up from the mountaintop. They crossed the paddy fields, passed the area where the bear beasts lived, and entered the peach grove for the second time.
There were still some bears picking peaches in the field, but there were too many peaches, so they picked the ones on the inner edge and left the ones on the outer edge to rot on the branches or on the ground.
Lin Ni, being playful, told them to wait under the tree while she climbed up to pick peaches. She used to be terrible at physical fitness; she couldn't even climb a tree, and would be breathless and flushed after running 400 meters. But after a year of constant travel on the Beastman Continent, and with her conscious training and nourishment from the Beast God's power, her physique had improved significantly. She took a running start, rushed over, stepped onto the tree trunk, and then grabbed it to climb up.
Seeing Lin Ni climbing up the tree branch every day, Tian Tian was startled: "Lin, how did you climb so high? If you want to pick peaches, let me do it. I'm very good at climbing trees."
Linni smiled and said, "I want to pick them myself."
Yao laughed under the tree and said, "Let her play, I'll be watching."
Lin Ni was very agile and climbed to the top of the tree to pick peaches. Yao, Yan, and Tian Tian watched her from below to prevent her from falling.
