Facts proved Lin Feng had overthought.
Xi Xing couldn't help but look back and forth between Lin Feng and the black cat.
She seemed to be weighing something, staring for a long time.
Lin Feng didn't rush, just watched Xi Xing's confused behavior.
After a long while, Xi Xing gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and as if making a firm decision, took a deep breath again.
"Lin Feng, can you accept the allegiance of our race?"
???????
The sudden question completely stunned Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's first reaction was, this girl must be possessed by some unholy entity!
Why would she suddenly want to follow him out of the blue?
What happened? Had she given up the freedom of her race?
"Are you serious?" Lin Feng asked uncertainly.
Xi Xing didn't seem like someone who would easily submit.
Normally, let alone having Xi Xing willingly follow and submit.
Even with force, Xi Xing's personality wouldn't make her easily yield, right?
But then Lin Feng thought again.
Did this succubus have some special fetish?
"I am serious!" Xi Xing replied, her expression solemn and proper.
"I had this thought after the fight for the Infinity Cube."
"Accept our allegiance, become the sole direction and faith of our race, I request this of you!"
Xi Xing suddenly knelt on one knee, placed her right hand on her left shoulder, and lowered her head, as if performing some kind of ritual.
From this angle, Lin Feng could effortlessly admire the ample curves encased in the tight suit.
*Hiss, a Dou Zong expert, truly terrifying...*
*Cough, off-topic.*
"Our race has a special brewing skill."
"It can bring joy to anyone who partakes."
"And our people are not just brewers."
"We are skilled in the creation of all sorts of potions."
"Not only can they heal injuries, but with the right materials! We are confident we can poison anyone!"
Xi Xing spoke like a salesperson, continuously revealing the advantages of her race.
Lin Feng listened, dumbfounded.
"No, you're making me a bit confused."
"Please get up first and tell me your reasons, okay?"
Looking at the succubus's actions, she seemed very sincere, not like a sudden whim.
What reason made Xi Xing want an outsider like him to be their leader?
Xi Xing stood up, collected her thoughts, and then slowly explained.
"I haven't told you that the destructive space pirates weren't just after the Infinity Cube."
"They had another purpose. They wanted to capture our race and use us as tools for making medicine..."
As she said this, Xi Xing proudly puffed out her chest, but her gaze then dimmed.
"The potions we create are extremely rare."
"In the black market, there are still some potions that have circulated from our race."
"One bottle sells for a hundred million..."
"But because of these two reasons, it has brought us fatal danger."
"We need the protection of a powerful being..."
"Otherwise, forget about selling potions for supplies, the sisters who take the potions out there would likely not return..."
The last sentence spoken made Lin Feng's eyes flicker.
Alright, Xi Xing's explanation was simple and easy to understand.
So, they wanted to cling to a strong backer.
Only after experiencing a devastating disaster would one understand the importance of a being who could protect an entire race...
Xi Xing had wandered the universe for hundreds of years, witnessing countless enslaved beings being slaughtered.
She had seen tyrannical beings who destroyed planets for frivolous reasons like being in a bad mood.
Having experienced all of this, Xi Xing realized how hard-won her past life had been.
Before, during the fight for the Infinity Cube, Xi Xing was undoubtedly the lowest of the cannon fodder.
Let alone their ship's energy cannons.
Anyone who casually stepped out was someone she couldn't resist.
Yet, these beings turned to ashes under Lin Feng's single move.
At that time, she was standing right beside Lin Feng.
She felt the impact force of the heat ray most directly and to the greatest extent.
The moment the heat ray was unleashed, she was stunned.
At that moment, Lin Feng was like a god in the universe, invincible wherever his gaze fell.
It was as if no light in the universe shone brighter than at that moment.
That power, which made enemies despair and herself feel secure, made Xi Xing uncontrollably want to draw closer to Lin Feng.
It was still the same instinctual reaction of any creature: to avoid danger and seek protection.
Learning of Xi Xing's thoughts, Lin Feng felt somewhat at ease.
In the end, to summarize, it was a case of:
"A blameless man brings ruin upon himself by possessing wealth."
Without protection, even if the planet regained its vitality, after an unknown number of years, it would still face another wave of space pirates.
Having experienced near extinction, it wasn't surprising that Xi Xing could figure this out.
But still, a bottle of potion selling for a hundred million?
Were all the members of your race born apothecaries?
How much did the collector of the Infinity Stones even cost back then?
Of course, the significance of the Infinity Stones couldn't be measured by money alone.
Lin Feng, with almost no hesitation, decided to accept the allegiance of Xi Xing's race.
He himself was already walking unimpeded in the universe.
Protecting a planet was simply a matter of flicking his fingers.
With a flick of his fingers, he could exchange for an endless supply of potions and fine wine. Could there be a better deal?
Lin Feng had tasted the wine brewed by Xi Xing before.
That magical feeling, which could bring joy to a superman, if she wasn't an apothecary, who was?
Even if Lin Feng himself might not need the potions, what about the people around him? And what about his original universe, beyond the fourth wall?
"Alright, I accept your allegiance..." Lin Feng made his decision decisively.
There was nothing more to say. Xi Xing was beautiful, and Lin Feng believed her people would be just as attractive.
A group of such beautiful ladies, who also made potions and brewed unique wines.
Why would he refuse their allegiance unless his brain was malfunctioning?
Upon hearing the result, Xi Xing's expression clearly relaxed.
It was as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders, an unprecedented relief.
The two tacitly avoided mentioning how the members of Xi Xing's race would guarantee their loyalty to Lin Feng.
This was because Lin Feng was already so powerful that they had no possibility of resisting.
With a wave of his hand, he could destroy this planet and all the lifeforms on it.
Unless Xi Xing's race was inherently brainless, they would never engage in any covert actions.
This was what was commonly referred to as "one force breaks all strategies."
"Then, please, our new leader, bring back the vitality of this planet!"
Xi Xing smiled and said frankly:
"With my abilities, I cannot activate the Infinity Cube to restore its vitality. I ask our leader to act..."
In fact, this was also one of the reasons Xi Xing chose to follow Lin Feng.
With her abilities, she couldn't use the Universal Cube at all.
Lin Feng chuckled.
Good heavens, I underestimated you.
So this is what you were waiting for!
