Warhammer begins in 2026

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Deep within the manor, in a bedroom with light blue matte walls, warm white light fills the room. Huang Feng stands before a full-length mirror, staring intently at her reflection. The short girl who was 1.3 meters tall back then has fully grown up, now standing at 1.7 meters, with a well-proportioned and graceful figure—the standard physique of an adult woman. Her long, straight, jet-black hair falls to her waist, the ends perfectly neat without a single split. Her features—eyebrows, nose, lips—are flawlessly proportioned, a beauty without any shortcomings.

Her physical development from adolescence to adulthood perfectly matched all of Huang Feng's aesthetic preferences before she transmigrated. Every line was etched in her heart, perfectly replicating the ideal appearance she had once fantasized about.

Huang Feng tilted his head, looking himself up and down in the mirror. His fingertips lightly brushed across the surface, a silly, satisfied smile spreading across his face. He muttered to himself, "I think I've fallen for myself, hehehe..."

Her eyes sparkled, and she leaned forward instinctively, her head almost touching the mirror, as if she intended to kiss her reflection through the glass. Just as her nose was about to touch the mirror, the First Legion's eagle banner leaning against the wall suddenly emitted a faint silver glow, which vanished in a flash.

The faint light was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head. Huang Feng instantly snapped back to reality, her body stiffening abruptly, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her back. She took two steps back, scratching the back of her head in astonishment, internally screaming: What's going on? I usually just admire myself, but how did I just react so bluntly and pervertedly, completely out of my control?

A thought flashed through his mind, and a chill ran down his spine. A warp demon? This era was still a long time before the Slaanesh were officially born; theoretically, warp rifts were weak, and low-level demons rarely appeared. Huang Feng grew increasingly panicked, his face turning pale. Without even tidying his hair, he rushed out of the bedroom in his slippers to find Neos.

Upon arriving at the central hall of the manor, Huang Feng saw Neos, enveloped in a thin layer of warp mist, slowly emerging from the void rift, his clothes still adorned with fragments of warp turbulence. Huang Feng rushed forward, grabbing Neos's forearm tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force, his voice tinged with barely concealed panic: "Did you bring something back from warp? I was almost possessed by some inexplicable consciousness just now."

"Help me examine my mental core. I suspect I'm being targeted by Slaanesh." Huang Feng frowned, utterly puzzled. "Slaanesh hasn't even been officially born yet; its primordial consciousness isn't fully formed. How could it have targeted me beforehand?"

Neos let her hold his arm, calmly scanning Huang Feng's mental fluctuations. After a moment, he spoke softly, "Your group psionic energy and wide-range psionic energy suppression ability, coupled with your stable and long-lived soul characteristics, are extremely attractive to the nascent consciousness of Slaanesh. However, you always carry the Eagle Banner with you, and your protective barrier is sufficient to prevent direct erosion."

Huang Feng was not reassured at all and remained uneasy. He looked up at Neos and said, "I'm still not at ease. Give me a few more eagle flags. I want to set up a psionic protective array independently."

A hint of surprise flashed across Neos's eyes. He raised his hand and took out four standard eagle flags from the hidden storage compartment in the void. They were the eagle flags of the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Legions, and handed them to Huang Feng: "You can now activate all five eagle flags simultaneously? Before, you could only control two at most."

"No problem, my skill in manipulating psionic energy has improved a lot in the past few years." Huang Feng took the four heavy eagle flags, hugged them tightly, and then turned around and quickly returned to his light blue bedroom.

Back in her room, Huang Feng laid the four new eagle flags and the original First Legion eagle flag flat on the ground. She activated her group connection psionic energy, forcibly linking and fusing the psionic energy circuits of the five flags. The surfaces of the five eagle flags successively emitted a silvery-white halo, and the outlines of the flags quickly became illusory and transparent, flowing down Huang Feng's wrist like water mist and all of it into the gemstone bracelet worn on her left hand.

Originally inlaid with ten blank, subtly patterned sapphires, after the refining process, five of the gems were engraved with the numbers one through five, corresponding to the five legion eagle banners. The remaining five gems were reserved for future expansion. Thanks to the permanent spiritual energy link pre-installed by Neos, this bracelet requires no independent supply of spiritual energy from Huang Feng; the vast majority of the energy consumption is covered by Neos, completely eliminating the risk of spiritual energy depletion. Whenever subspace demons or disordered consciousness approach, the eagle banner power sealed within the bracelet will automatically activate, protecting Huang Feng's body and spirit around the clock.

After completing all the setup, Huang Feng manipulated the bracelet to release multiple layers of psionic energy sweeps, scanning and checking from head to toe, from mind to body, seven or eight times. Only after confirming that there was no residual subspace pollution or parasitic consciousness in his body did his heart finally settle down.

This sudden mental intrusion terrified Huang Feng. She knew very well that she only possessed large-scale group psionic suppression abilities, and her close-quarters combat and proactive offensive and defensive capabilities were almost zero. If she were secretly attacked and mentally manipulated by a subspace demon, she wouldn't even have the ability to escape or protect herself, and would be completely at their mercy.

For the next few days, Huang Feng completely switched to human-like accessory mode, following Erda everywhere she went. She stayed by Erda's side in the courtyard, tea room, garden, and even the training ground, while constantly playing games on her portable game console. She had already planned it out: Erda's physical strength and psionic combat power were among the top four, and she could hold off the enemy in case of sudden danger until Neos and Macardo arrived to rescue her.

As for why he didn't follow Neos closely, Huang Feng was perfectly clear-headed. Neos was obsessed with exploring the warp, and even though he knew that the depths of the warp harbored world-destroying terrors, he still frequently and actively entered and exited warp rifts. Huang Feng had no desire to be exposed to the deep risks of the warp; in comparison, following Erda to slack off, play games, and live a peaceful life was the safest and most comfortable choice.
