"Later, I realized I was wrong. That day in the storage room, when you kissed me so hard I couldn't breathe, my mind was completely blank. There was no him, no airplane, no ring, no those recurring images."

Chen Min reached out and touched Lin Feng's cheek. "From that day on, all I wanted was to make up for the regret of not being able to give myself completely to the one I loved!"

Lin Feng opened his mouth, as if to say something.

She looked at Lin Feng, her eyes full of affection: "Do you think I'm the kind of woman who would give myself away so easily?"

Lin Feng shook his head. If that were the case, he wouldn't have been so surprised that day.

Who would have thought that a woman in her thirties could be so flawless? It's something I never dared to dream of.

"I was lucid that day. I thought what I needed was a sense of accomplishment, but I later realized that wasn't the case."

Seeing that Lin Feng still had that blank expression, Chen Min looked away, not wanting to continue. She discovered that she seemed to have awakened a special hobby that excited her immensely. Not wanting Lin Feng to know, she simply turned her back to him and resumed her teasing tone.

"So don't try to act innocent after getting the benefit..."

Looking at the smooth, flowing lines of her back, Lin Feng suddenly understood something, yet it seemed like he understood nothing at all.

"So, you arranged for Sister Hong to join too?"

Chen Min buried her head in the blanket: "What, you think it's too much?"

"No, I just think your side effect is quite unique!"

"snort……"

Lin Feng was actually quite speechless, feeling that she just liked to torment people. Those who made mistakes in the team before were tortured to the point of near death by her, and now he was being tormented to the point of near death by her.

Moreover, Lin Feng felt that she definitely had some kind of fetish, as she actually took the initiative to choose women for him to mess with.

Lin Feng didn't think these quirks of the Awakened were side effects. Perhaps absorbing too much of the Strange Crystal amplified certain of their hobbies, or perhaps...

Obsession!

The sound of rain outside subsided a bit, and the convoy finally came to a stop.

"Have we arrived?" Chen Min asked.

"It should be. I'll go check."

Lin Feng got up and went to the balcony to look outside. Xiao Xuan had already lay down again, and the convoy was parked on the edge of a village.

"Lin Feng, let's go to the meeting!" Fang Ling's voice came from below. Lin Feng looked down and saw her standing not far from Xiao Xuan, holding an umbrella in her hand.

"Catch!" She tossed the umbrella up, and it arced through the air before Lin Feng caught it.

"Coming right away!"

Lin Feng turned and went into the room, patting Chen Minlu's shoulder that was exposed outside the blanket by the bedside.

"Get up, the captain wants us to go to a meeting."

Chen Min turned over, her eyes still closed, reached out and groped around until she found her clothes and put them on.

The two of them climbed down the tortoise-like back using the rope ladder. Lin Feng opened his umbrella, and Chen Min crawled under it, taking his arm. The two of them walked side by side toward Shen Yutong's armored RV.

As Lin Feng passed by the convoy, he saw many new vehicles and unfamiliar faces.

"What is that?"

Lin Feng saw hundreds of tall, magnificent horses standing in the rain on the open ground near the modified vehicles. Some were pulling large carts, while others had bundled luggage bags and leather pouches on their backs.

Several patrolmen were talking to the people leading the horses, seemingly marking out a resting area and explaining the rules for the convoy.

The two entered the armored RV, folded up their umbrellas, and leaned against the door. Lin Feng had just boarded the vehicle and hadn't even had time to marvel at how much bigger it had become.

He then noticed a new face on the truck.

The woman sitting next to Fang Ling looked very young, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a deep red Tibetan robe, had a straight nose, and her features were so exquisite that they seemed to be the work of the Creator, making her unforgettable at first glance.

Her hair was tied into a thick, long braid that hung from her right shoulder to her chest, with a red string tied to the end of the braid and a silver bell hanging from it.

What captivated Lin Feng most was not her beautiful appearance, but the eagle perched on her shoulder.

The eagle was grayish-brown all over, its feathers gleaming with a metallic sheen under the car's interior lights. Its claws were gripping the leather pad on her shoulder, and its golden eyes were staring at Lin Feng.

When Wang Lie saw Lin Feng and Chen Min come in, he cleared his throat.

"Let me introduce you first. This is the new Awakened one who has joined the team. Her ability is horse taming, similar to Lin Feng's beast taming, but in a different direction. She can tame horses, make special rations, and improve the horses' endurance..."

The girl stood up gracefully, bowed slightly to Lin Feng, and spoke in a voice as clear as a mountain spring.

"My name is Gesang Zhuoma. I know you. Your tamed beast is a very large and powerful tortoise."

Lin Feng looked at her. She smiled as she spoke, her smile as pure as the sky over the plateau. Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

"You're amazing too!" Lin Feng's gaze fell on the eagle on her shoulder. "What's its name?"

"Its name is Golden Eyes. When I found it, its wing was injured and it couldn't fly. I healed it, and then it stayed."

As if it understood its master's words, Jin Tong raised its head and let out a clear cry, its golden eyes like two pieces of amber.

Lin Feng liked it more and more as he looked at it.

"Are you selling your eagle?"

Sangge Zhuoma's smile faltered for a moment, and her eyes widened.

"Not for sale!" The girl's tone was tinged with anger as she turned to the side and used her hand to protect the eagle on her shoulder.

"Hmph! You're not a good person."

Lin Feng awkwardly touched his nose, and a soft laugh came from the side. Chen Min lowered her head, pretending to look at her fingernails. The others who saw this scene did not know what to say.

Lin Feng wasn't annoyed. He smiled and said, "You know I'm a beast tamer. Naturally, I'm very fond of such a magnificent eagle. It's just like you—beautiful and noble, like a pearl in the sky above the grasslands!"

"Hmph... I won't sell even if you praise me!" Sangge Zhuoma turned her head away, no longer looking at him, but her cheeks were slightly flushed.

"Alright," Wang Lie tapped the table.

"We got to know each other and started talking about business."

He pointed to a spot on the map. "We're at this location now. There's a completely ransacked village nearby. Michelle sensed it earlier; there's no danger, and the buildings in the village are relatively well-preserved."

He looked up and glanced at everyone: "The rain won't stop anytime soon. My idea is to stay here for the night. Some vehicles in the convoy need to be repaired after being attacked by that snake, and Jiang Sheng is seriously injured and needs to rest."

Lin Feng looked around and indeed didn't see Jiang Sheng. "That kid's got a real knack for it. The car flipped dozens of meters over, and he's still alive..."

Chen Min pulled Lin Feng up with a hand.

Lin Feng then realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"He's not dead, just a few broken ribs. I've already treated him, and he'll be fully recovered after a few more treatments. He's lying in the car right now..." Mo Qingluan said.
