The new mare was a little shy. She looked at Lin Feng warily, her eyes filled with unease and inquiry.
It snorted softly and took a half step back.
White Moonlight sensed its nervousness. It walked to the mare's side, gently nuzzled her neck with its head, and let out a low neigh, as if to comfort her and tell her that the person in front of her was friendly.
The mare relaxed somewhat under Bai Yueguang's soothing touch, but still kept a wary eye on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng suppressed his excitement and tried his best to make his expression look gentle and friendly.
He knew he couldn't scare this new "guest".
"Hello, beautiful lady."
Lin Feng spoke in the softest possible tone, even though he knew the other person might not understand.
He slowly, step by step, approached the mare, his movements gentle and careful, not daring to be the slightest bit presumptuous.
The mare's body tensed slightly, but she did not back down.
Its clear eyes, like two pieces of translucent jade, curiously scrutinized Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stopped about three meters away from the mare. He dared not approach any further, for fear of disturbing her.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you," Lin Feng said softly, while slowly extending his hand, palm up, to indicate that he meant no harm.
White Moonlight then neighed a few more times to "explain" the situation, which eased the mare's guard somewhat.
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He knew that food was often the best way to gain the trust of such a mystical creature. Moreover, judging from the mare's appearance, she seemed to have gone through quite a journey.
"You must be hungry, right? Wait here, I'll go and prepare something delicious for you right away!"
Lin Feng's face was beaming with a bright smile, and his voice rose a few octaves with excitement.
He turned and ran towards the warehouse, his steps so light they seemed to fly. He was going to bring out his best stock to entertain this distinguished "guest"!
He first took out those golden, plump "Golden Fox Rice," a type of rice that not only he himself loved to eat, but Bai Yueguang also quite liked.
He took a large handful and carefully rinsed it clean with water.
Then, he found some dried, sweet-smelling tender grass leaves, which he had specially stored as "snacks" for Bai Yueguang. He also took out some dried wild fruits soaked in honey from the earthenware jar, which emitted an enticing sweet aroma.
Lin Feng even went so far as to take out a small piece of dried meat from a beast he had hunted earlier, which was rich in energy, and grind it into fine powder with a stone mill, intending to mix it into the feed to replenish the energy of the new mares.
He mixed these carefully selected ingredients together, added some clean spring water, stirred it well, and created a "deluxe" version of horse feed that looked incredibly appetizing.
When Lin Feng came out of the warehouse in high spirits, carrying a large wooden basin full of fine feed, he found that Bai Yueguang and the mare were still in the open space. The mare was full of curiosity about her surroundings and was looking around with her emerald eyes.
"Come, come, try the delicious food I've prepared for you!" Lin Feng gently placed the wooden basin on the ground and pushed it toward the two horses.
The white moonlight, of course, didn't hold back at all. It lowered its head and began to eat heartily, making satisfied chewing sounds.
The mare seemed a little hesitant. She first sniffed the feed in the wooden bowl warily, then looked at White Moonlight who was eating heartily, and finally cautiously lowered her head and tentatively licked it.
Seemingly attracted by the delicious food, it gradually increased its licking speed and began to eat in small bites.
Its eating manners were very refined and elegant, a stark contrast to Bai Yueguang's ravenous eating.
Lin Feng watched them eat, a loving smile like that of a father on his face. His joy and satisfaction were almost overflowing.
He carefully observed the new mare.
Its fur shimmered with a faint bluish-green luster in the sunlight, like the finest jade, crystal clear and radiant.
Its body is more slender than the White Moonlight, but it is also full of power, with smooth and beautiful lines. The single horn on its forehead and the wings on its back indicate its extraordinary origin.
"It's so beautiful..." Lin Feng exclaimed sincerely.
After the two horses had finished eating, Lin Feng slowly tried to approach the mare again.
This time, the mare's reaction was not as tense as before.
It watched Lin Feng quietly, its eyes filled with a hint of curiosity and a hint of... gratitude?
Lin Feng reached out and gently, tentatively, stroked the mare's neck.
The mare's body trembled slightly, but she did not flinch.
Its fur is silky and cool to the touch, with a strange fragrance that is slightly different from the holy and warm aura of the white moonlight, making it appear more aloof and noble.
"From now on, you'll be called 'White Jade', okay?"
Lin Feng spoke softly, gazing into the mare's beautiful, emerald-like eyes. He felt that the name perfectly matched its unique character.
White Jade understood Lin Feng's words. It tilted its head and gently rubbed its smooth forehead against Lin Feng's palm.
Lin Feng was overjoyed! Did this mean... they had accepted him?
He knew that it was no coincidence that Bai Yueguang brought back the white jade.
Perhaps they are of the same kind, or even have a deeper connection.
The fact that Bai Yueguang chose to bring it to him undoubtedly shows her great trust in him.
Lin Feng immediately began preparing accommodations for Bai Feicui.
He decided to expand the stables to make them warmer and more comfortable.
In the following days, Lin Feng's life became even busier and more fulfilling.
While taking care of the two magnificent steeds' daily needs, he also had to rush to build a new stable.
He treated Bai Feicui with the same meticulous care he had shown to his wounded Bai Yueguang.
He prepares the freshest and most delicious food for it every day and provides it with the cleanest spring water to drink.
He would spend a lot of time with it, talking to it and gently combing its snow-white fur that shimmered with an emerald luster.
White Jade's wariness of Lin Feng decreased day by day. It gradually got used to Lin Feng's presence and even began to actively approach him. When Lin Feng came close, it would let out a joyful hiss and nuzzle his arm with its head.
Lin Feng could sense that although Bai Feicui appeared aloof and arrogant on the outside, she was actually very sensitive and delicate on the inside.
It really enjoys Lin Feng grooming its fur, and it always squints its eyes comfortably each time.
Owning two unicorns was something Lin Feng never dared to dream of before.
He knew that his future would be dramatically changed because of these two wondrous creatures.
His range of activities will expand again, his exploration capabilities will be enhanced once more, and his survival skills in this primeval wilderness will reach a new level.
Winter was approaching, but Lin Feng's heart was filled with burning anticipation.
He seemed to see it all: in the near future, he would ride the White Moonlight, with the White Jade flying beside him, soaring together in this vast world, exploring more unknowns and writing more wonderful legends!
This winter is destined not to be cold.
