Looking at this scene, Lin Yifan's heart was filled with anger, but he dared not express it, fearing that Lin Yanping would discover his secret crush on her.

While eating, Lin Yifan was unaware that he had already become the object of someone's resentment, a potentially fatal hidden danger.

After finishing the meal, they returned to the hotel to rest.

Lin Yifan decided to sleep on the floor, letting Li Dafeng sleep on the bed.

Li Dafeng refused Lin Yifan's kindness, insisting that Lin Yifan sleep on the bed.

Having no choice, Lin Yifan had to sleep on the bed.

In the dead of night, Li Dafeng, who was watching outside the room, grew increasingly angry; Lin Yifan's ambiguous actions during dinner lingered in his mind, refusing to leave, infuriating him.

Thus, he crept into the room, approaching Lin Yifan's bedside; then he pulled out a sharp knife, intending to assassinate Lin Yifan.

The sharp knife, under the moonlight, emitted a chilling glow; the next moment, Li Dafeng raised the knife and swiftly stabbed towards Lin Yifan's throat.

However, just as the knife was about to reach Lin Yifan's neck, he stopped.

He remembered the words his Master had imparted before they left, saying he must protect Lin Yifan completely.

The Master had been kind to him, without the Master there would be no him, so he couldn't disobey the Master's command, and thus he aborted the assassination.

"I'll give you one more chance. If you dare to flirt with my Yanping again, I won't forgive you," he muttered bitterly to himself, Li Dafeng then put away the knife and quietly left the room.

Lin Yifan, sleeping on the bed, was unaware he had just experienced a life-threatening danger. If he knew that Li Dafeng, seemingly calm and outwardly kind and loyal, harbored murderous intentions toward him, what would he think?

A few hours later, daylight broke.

At that time, Lin Yifan and his companions hurriedly washed up, then after breakfast, they started on their way.

Traveling from Barujia to Jiminia required passing through two countries.

Since there were no direct flights or trains to Jiminia, they could only take an off-road vehicle to the border; then they would make a transfer.

Paying half of the fare to the driver upfront, they would pay the other half upon reaching the destination, a fairly cautious way to handle the fare.

Leaving the urban area, it wasn't long before Lin Yifan and his companions entered Barujia National Park.

Barujia National Park is essentially a mini natural world; it has everything, both flora and fauna.

This is the most pristine park, untouched by any renovations. Apart from the roads, there is scarcely a trace of concrete and steel or any modern amenities.

It is a primitive ecological park where one can witness the cruel and bloody aspect of the natural world's survival of the fittest, as well as the beautiful and vast wilderness. It is both unique and refreshing; terrifying yet enlightening.

Sitting inside the off-road vehicle and observing the wild jungle outside, Lin Yifan and his companions felt as if they had returned to nature.

In the distant grasslands of the forest, various animals appeared, everything from giraffes, elephants, antelopes, ostriches, zebras, deer, and so on.

After two kilometers, Lin Yifan and his companions finally saw the king of the forest—the lion.

At that moment, a group of lions was resting leisurely under a big tree; clearly, they had just had a fulfilling meal and now just wanted to watch the scenery in peace.

Don't be fooled by their gentle and docile appearance at the moment; if you approach them, they will surely show their fangs and attack you because your proximity poses a threat to them; they are the kings of the forest and do not tolerate such provocation of their authority.

"The male lions look so magnificent!" Lin Yanping exclaimed, looking infatuated.

She had never before seen a wild lion, and this first encounter revealed that wild lions were much stronger than those in zoos; their fur shiny and smooth.

"If you like it so much, why don't you marry it?" Lin Yifan interjected; he didn't really want to say it, but seeing Lin Yanping so infatuated, he couldn't resist teasing her.

"Do I have to marry something just because I like it?" Lin Yanping retorted angrily, her good mood instantly spoiled.

"I was just kidding, why get so worked up?" Lin Yifan pouted, then turned his head away to look at the scenery on the other side.

Lin Yanping was both furious and resentful; her positive impression of Lin Yifan from the previous night vanished in an instant.

Watching this scene, Li Dafeng wasn't angered but rather pleased; with such animosity, he believed these two would never end up together.

Several hours later, the vehicle left Barujia National Park and continued towards a neighboring country.

After a day and a night, they finally arrived at the border of the two countries the next noon.

It was time for Lin Yifan and the others to get out of the car; the SUV driver didn't want to cross over.

Barujia's neighbor was part of the Golden Triangle, notorious for its lawlessness, and the driver didn't want to wade into those troubled waters. No amount of money could persuade him.

Lin Yifan and his group got out of the car and, holding their Barujia visas, headed to the border checkpoint, hoping to cross the river into the neighboring country.

However, upon reaching the checkpoint, they discovered that the only bridge leading to the adjacent nation had been destroyed by war.

"What do we do now? How can we get across?" Li Xiaofeng asked anxiously.

"The only option now is to go by water," Lin Yifan answered.

Separated by a large river, without the bridge they had no choice but to cross over by boat.

However, this stretch of the river was bordered by steep cliffs; it would be difficult to climb up after crossing by boat. They would need to travel upstream against the current to find another entry point into the country.

But to travel upstream, they would need to pass through the Feizhou Golden Triangle.

This section of the river was a particularly dangerous area; bad luck could mark them as targets for criminals, putting them in jeopardy.

Of course, that only applied to ordinary people; for cultivators like Lin Yifan who could ignore the existence of bullets, such dangers were negligible.

"Then we shouldn't delay, let's hurry to find a boat and set out!" Li Dafeng urged.

"Right!"

The other three nodded in agreement, and together they started looking for a boat.

This part of the river was relatively calmer, so a few Barujia residents lived there, subsisting on fishing, and consequently some fishing boats were around.

After visiting a few fishing homes, Lin Yifan and his group found a fishing boat; however, when they expressed their intention to go to the Feizhou Golden Triangle, the fisherman of that boat refused them.

The Feizhou Golden Triangle was such a perilous place he wouldn't go there for anything.

With no other option, Lin Yifan and his companions had to buy the entire boat so they could navigate it themselves.

Once aboard, Lin Yifan warned, "The Feizhou Golden Triangle is rampant with bandits and extremely dangerous. Be cautious and keep an eye on your surroundings, don't get ambushed."

"What's there to fear? We are powerful cultivators; do we really need to be scared of petty thugs strutting around with their handguns?" Lin Yanping asked mockingly, feeling no fear for the thugs whatsoever.
