Chapter 563 A Cup of Life's Bitter Tears, a Soul-Searching Drink

Tony quickly confirmed he was indeed powerful.

It only took about ten minutes for him to leap out of the seabed and into the sky.

He was carrying a Thorny Shell Crab in each hand.

With a bang, he threw them onto the ground.

The native companions were all stunned.

They had actually retrieved the Thorny Shell Crabs!

Instantly, the natives rushed forward, surrounding Tony once more.

Tony startled, then realized, unlike before, the natives' faces were filled with visible joy!

The leader chattered a few more words.

This time, no translation was needed. Jarvis had already deciphered most of it.

It was roughly equivalent to, "Thank you, you are our friend."

Good heavens, Tony remarked, his eyes were opened.

Making friends by catching a couple of crabs?

He had initially thought the crabs Lin Feng mentioned were difficult to catch, but they were swarming in the deep-sea area.

Tony casually grabbed two, and they didn't even resist, as if they were a bit sluggish.

"How was it, making friends with them was easy, right?" Lin Feng said.

"Oh, and they said you can take this lobster!"

Lin Feng helped the leader place the crabs on their backs.

After carrying the goods, the natives began to walk back, not forgetting to call out to Lin Feng and Tony.

"Are they inviting us over?" Tony asked.

Jarvis's translation wasn't fully complete yet, only giving a general idea.

So, he had to confirm with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded, "That's right, they're inviting us to visit!"

"I told them you brought family, so you can bring Little Morgan and the others along!"

Tony paused, hesitating, "Will it be dangerous?"

Lin Feng shook his head, "No, don't worry."

"Lin Jili and Susan are also here; I've already notified them to come over."

Tony chuckled.

"You're traveling with family too?"

Lin Feng explained helplessly, "It's a holiday, after all. Things on Blue Star are just what they are, no matter how you look at them. It's better to bring them to the universe for a tour."

"Speaking of which, how did you arrive on this planet so quickly?"

"I thought your next stop would be the Star Clan!"

Tony slung the large lobster over his shoulder. Without his armor, his physique was strong enough to carry several hundred pounds.

It was perfect. He had solved the communication issue with the natives, he could fulfill Little Morgan's wish, and stay for a few days.

This place was far more beautiful than the beaches on Blue Star. Even for the well-traveled Tony, he wanted to stay longer.

The two chatted as they walked with the natives.

The natives' settlement wasn't far from here.

Mainly, with so much ocean, the landmasses were almost all connected.

What remained were small islands of limited area in the ocean.

Following the seemingly endless beach, they soon reached the settlement.

The buildings were very primitive but exuded an alien style.

They were mostly houses built from giant shells and trees.

The most striking was the uniquely shaped giant shell in the center. That was the leader's, or rather, the clan chief's room.

Next to it was a smaller white shell, which was the chief's daughter's home.

The address terms were a bit different here; they called the chief's daughter the "clan daughter."

The natives threw the crabs onto the ground, and the leader excitedly ran towards the largest shell house.

It seemed he was going to inform the chief.

Tony also put down the lobster and instructed Jarvis to notify Morgan and the others to come over.

With Lin Feng around, even if the natives suddenly attacked, he wasn't afraid of not being able to protect Morgan and the others.

Tony had absolute faith in Lin Feng's strength.

In a short while, the chief appeared with his daughter.

"Whoa! This chief is really tall!" Tony raised his eyebrows.

This chief was a head taller than the natives who had surrounded him earlier, almost two meters tall.

His skin was also pale blue, though it didn't quite match Tony's aesthetic.

"Otherwise, how could he be the chief?" Lin Feng teased with a smile.

Then, he waved his hand, as the chief had already seen him.

The chief also smiled and nodded, about to walk over.

However, suddenly, a slender native darted from the side and zipped in front of Lin Feng.

"Lin! Long time no see!"

The newcomer was the clan daughter. Unlike her father, she was shorter than the average native.

"Long time no see, Naxi," Lin Feng said with a smile, patting her small head.

The alien girl blushed shyly.

Tony's expression was unreadable.

Her pale blue skin made it look as if she were wearing nothing. Only certain features were visible on her body, you know, the bulging ones.

Tony suspected if that skin could be peeled off.

He nudged Lin Feng with his elbow.

"Hey, isn't this your alien girlfriend?" Tony jested.

Look at her demeanor; she clearly had feelings for Lin Feng.

Tony licked his lips, wondering if there would be some dramatic love triangle when Susan arrived.

Lin Feng kicked Tony dismissively.

"Stop talking nonsense, she's just a child."

"I think she's around nine years old..."

"Nine? You call this nine years old?..."

Tony couldn't believe it.

He had just thought this clan daughter was quite short, assuming she was petite, unlike her father.

But she was only nine?

Good heavens, Tony gestured. Her height was probably around 1.6 meters.

He admitted he had been superficial. This child took after her father; nine years old and 1.6 meters tall, she would likely be taller than her father in the future!

Next was a period of pleasantries and catching up.

Upon learning that Tony had procured the two Thorny Shell Crabs, he received the chief's gratitude.

Well, two dried fish...

Tony didn't understand why Lin Feng said he could keep them but not eat them.

Weren't they obviously delicious?

However, he soon understood.

When the clan daughter brought him a cup of specially made juice, Tony almost saw heaven!

Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty – it was like drinking a cup of life's bitter tears.

At that moment, Tony felt something questioning his soul...

"Tony, Tony, are you alright?" Lin Feng poked Tony, unable to help but chuckle.

Tony's face had turned green!

He had tasted this stuff before and would never want to drink it again.

Tony took several deep breaths, recovering after a long while, barely clinging to life.

He looked at the remaining half cup of unknown liquid in his hand, trying his best not to throw it away.

"I say, Lin Feng, is all their food like this?!"

Lin Feng nodded, and Tony was speechless.

Jarvis had analyzed that these marine creatures could be made into delicious delicacies unseen on Blue Star. How had these natives managed to prepare their food so...

Tony didn't know how to describe it, but he felt it could be used as a torture device for interrogating criminals...
