These words added a touch of sadness to both of them.
Lin Bei continued, "When I was ten years old, I remember you brought back a wild rabbit and said you wanted me to raise it."
Lin Ye chuckled: "You brat, in the end you still gave it to Jiang girl."
“I also wanted to repay her parents for saving my life, but I never expected that they would pass away not long after I gave them the rabbit.”
"Life is unpredictable. Perhaps they have already met the Beast God. I will also meet them. I will tell them that your daughter is very powerful, and so is my son. They are very happy together."
"I remember that the wild rabbit was only kept for three days before it was eaten by Jiang Lu, who had a sweet tooth."
"That child...sigh...he probably left earlier."
"She was quite cute when she was little, who would have thought she would turn out like this later."
"You were such a mischievous kid, but you've become more and more mature as you've grown up."
"No, it's all thanks to my father's excellent teaching."
“I think I saw your mother. She said she had been waiting for me for a long time, and that of all her beast husbands, I was the one she loved the most. I knew then that I was the most important person to her.”
"Then please tell your mother that she is so kind-hearted, and I would like to be your child again in my next life."
"Okay...okay..."
Lin Ye's voice grew weaker and weaker, the pain so intense that even breathing felt like being cut by a knife.
"It hurts too much, let's see Father off on his way."
"I...I can't...I can't do it, Father. Aunt is coming back soon. I believe she wants to see you one last time. Please wait a little longer, okay?"
"I can't wait any longer... I... I can't take it anymore... Son... I beg you..."
Seeing his father in such pain, Lin Bei felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
But when it came to actually doing it himself, to send his father off on his final journey, he simply couldn't bring himself to do it.
Just then, Yin Lu, who had been listening for a long time, came over and gently touched Lin Ye's forehead.
Soon it became clear that his breathing was steady, as if he had simply fallen asleep, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Are you asleep and having a sweet dream?
Lin Bei choked up and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Yin Lu."
Yin Lu dismissed it: "It's nothing."
He never kills innocent people indiscriminately, nor is he a vicious person. He is happy to help people out of their predicament.
Kovi patted Lin Bei on the shoulder, coughed lightly, and offered a dry, comforting remark: "Don't be too sad. Actually, you're quite lucky. You got to see him one last time and talked to him for so long. My father passed away when I was twelve. He was torn to pieces by wild beasts, and when he was found, he was in pieces."
After discovering that someone was worse off than me, I wasn't so sad anymore.
Before Lin Bei could even offer a word of comfort, Kovi blurted out, "My mother married into another tribe and never cared about me again. That's why I was able to hunt on my own at the age of thirteen..."
This sounds so tragic.
Yin Lu wanted to say a few words of comfort to him after hearing this.
However, thinking about my own experience, my father died not long after I was born, and my mother died when I was fifteen or sixteen. I then had to hunt to support myself.
It seems their backgrounds are quite similar.
Lin Bei sighed, "Thank you for your hard work..."
Kovi chuckled and said, "It's not hard work. It's a good thing. I became the Wolf King at the age of nineteen and was the youngest tribal chief. My reputation is well-known."
Even when attacked by the most ferocious wandering orcs, he was able to save most of his people and help them escape.
Rumors circulated that his entire clan was wiped out, but in reality, he only lost a few dozen members of his clan.
Thinking about this, Kovi felt incredibly awesome.
I felt no sadness whatsoever; in fact, I was quite proud.
This positive mental state instantly dispelled Yin Lu's earlier melancholy.
This also helped Lin Bei's sadness to almost disappear.
Thinking about it carefully, the fact that my father passed away while lost in a beautiful dream is already the best possible ending.
"Father, I hope you can really see Mother."
Lin Bei murmured softly, sitting by the stone bed and holding his father's warm hand, "I will accompany you on your final journey."
Kovi was somewhat worried about the safety of his people. Seeing that the two were getting along well, he secretly slipped out to check on the others.
How did your mother pass away?
Yin Lu actually saw the wolf king leave, but he didn't care. Instead, he was more curious about Lin Bei's background.
Why do people say not to be too kind-hearted? Was his mother killed because she did a good deed?
Lin Bei still held his father's hand, but his shoulders trembled slightly. He didn't turn around; instead, he lowered his head and remained silent.
After a long while, Yin Lu thought he wouldn't answer, but then Lin Bei suddenly spoke up: "I was only eight years old that year. My mother had five beast husbands, one of whom was the most handsome, even more handsome than my father."
"Although I don't agree with it, that's what everyone thinks. Even though he chose my mother, he still exudes charm and attracts the attention of many females."
“My mother had a very good friend. They went out to pick fruit together with the patrol team every day. Once, they even saved that person’s life.”
"Until one day, the priest took a liking to him and accepted him as an apprentice. He studied in the priest's cave every day, and the two rarely interacted after that."
"However, one day, she suddenly discovered that the man was having an affair with her mother's most handsome beast husband. In order to be together openly, the man killed her mother, forcibly removed the mark between her and the beast husband, and then the two eloped together."
"My mother was too kind and easily bullied, which is why they killed her."
Lin Bei's voice was soft, like a spring breeze whispering in your ear.
But this story is so sad and infuriating.
Yin Lu seemed to have finally realized something, and snorted coldly, "This is the downside of polyandry. If everyone only had one partner, this situation wouldn't occur."
“That might mean I wouldn’t be here, but Mother, Mother will still be killed.”
"If both people are loyal to each other, how could this happen?"
"If my mother only had one person, she would definitely be loyal to that person. Would she be?"
"Who...who knows?"
"So when problems arise between partners and betrayal occurs, it's not always due to polyandry. Rather, it's because the person is of low character. Even if they only have one partner, if they want to betray, they will eventually do so."
"..."
Yin Lu fell completely silent.
He suddenly remembered his mother mentioning another world.
The 21st century is the era of monogamy.
But are they truly happy?
The fact that my mother's parents separated long ago proves that even with monogamy, happiness is not guaranteed, and few couples can stay together until the end.
"Actually, although I don't really want Acha to have another beast husband, you have such great strength. If you become one of Acha's beast husbands, you will definitely be able to face many difficulties in the future..."
"impossible."
