Chapter 24

When Qin Fei mentioned it, Xi Yuan barely furrowed his brow. He didn’t have a good impression of that grass. Now, everything that came into the hands of the master must be understood—the origin and purpose of each item. There could be no unknown things around the master.

Xi Yuan was already frightened. If another unidentified magic plant ended up near the master and caused some kind of unforeseen coma or sleep, he didn’t know if his strong heart would be able to handle it.

Just thinking about it for a moment, the previous magic plant hadn’t been beneficial, in fact, it was harmful to the zerg race. Would the master fall into a deep, unending sleep from it? Once he started thinking this way, he refused to imagine the consequences. Because of all this, he wasn’t fond of the Lucky Clover at all.

As for the name “Lucky Clover,” Xi Yuan thought it was Qin Fei’s way of wishing for the master’s ascension to level 9, but what he didn’t know was that Qin Fei had named it that simply because the magic plant resembled the lucky clover from Earth. It had nothing to do with the plant bringing luck.

Now that he knew the plant had this effect, he couldn’t help but feel happy for the master. After all, this magic plant had already formed a contract with the master, and could only be used by him, so it couldn’t harm Qin Fei anymore. However, even so, he still clung to his initial impression and hadn’t changed his way of referring to it: that grass. = =

Aurora Star, compared to the main planet of the zerg race, is a small planet that can accommodate at most 100 million zergs. However, due to its geographical location, it offers a spectacular view of the dazzling and ever-changing auroras every day, attracting a large number of zergs to visit as tourists. It has developed into one of the top tourist destinations for the zerg race. Every year, many male zergs who enjoy beautiful scenery travel there, and of course, where there are male zergs, female zergs will not be far behind. Over time, Aurora Star became a treasure trove for female zergs looking for a mate when they couldn’t find the right partner. The number of registrations at the marriage office every year is incredibly large. The large flow of zerg traffic has attracted countless profitable businesses to set up shops here. As time passed, Aurora Star not only became a popular tourist destination but also a planet renowned for intergalactic shopping.

Speaking of the variety of goods, the main planet is the first choice, but having money alone is not enough to buy what you want. You also need status, privileges, and contribution points. On the main planet, rare items are strictly controlled, and if you don’t meet the standards, you won’t be able to buy them. For example, the nutritional supplements provided to Qin Fei by the Male Zerg Protection Association every month are something that ordinary zergs cannot buy. However, on Aurora Star, as long as you have enough money and time, you can purchase anything. It’s no wonder that the tax revenue contributed by Aurora Star every year is famous throughout the galaxy.

Xi Yuan has a small manor here, which is one of the legacies left by his father and mother. Although it’s not large, it is enough to accommodate their group of over 100 zergs and three spaceships.

The manor is a grape orchard, and every year it produces some highly valuable wine. Due to the climate, they are able to grow a special type of grape called “Snow Scene.” These grapes are generally the size of an adult zerg’s thumb, with a pale green skin and evenly distributed white spots resembling snowflakes, which is how the name “Snow Scene” came about.

These grapes taste average when eaten fresh, but when fermented into wine, they create a rare type of white wine with a hint of green. What’s even more remarkable is that as the wine ages, the green hue deepens, and wines aged for over a century are considered precious treasures. This wine is also known by another name—“Green Emerald.”

There are two female zergs and about ten robots assisting here. Xi Yuan had made prior arrangements, so they were able to settle in immediately upon arrival. By the time they reached the manor, it was already evening, and they enjoyed a meal of local delicacies before resting for the night.

The next day, Qin Fei and Xi Yuan went to the most famous Red Ocean on Aurora Star, which was named after the highest peak of the new Aurora. The local vegetation here consists of trees with oval, red leaves, creating the illusion of a vast sea of red. Furthermore, this place offers the most dazzling and spectacular auroras, making the sight of the red-leafed sea undulating with the waves a top-rated location. Since they were already here, they naturally couldn’t miss it, so their first stop was this place.

As Qin Fei and Xi Yuan stepped off the hover car, they were immediately struck by the sea of people—so many zergs!

Xi Yuan scanned the surroundings cautiously, and at an angle where Qin Fei couldn’t see, made a subtle gesture. Suddenly, an additional ring of guards appeared, quietly surrounding them.

Qin Fei, sensing something, noticed many familiar faces around them. ‘Ahem!’ The person at a 30-degree angle to the left, you and your partner have really done a complete job blending in with your civilian outfits, huh? The soft and delicate female character really doesn’t suit you…

The zergs walking up the mountain along the road were mostly couples, which wasn’t a problem. What was odd was the number of zergs who brought not just one partner, but several. Qin Fei noticed that a significant portion of the couples around him consisted of one male zerg with two or three female zergs. His eyes glinted sharply. If this were Earth… never mind, there’s no comparison. 

Shaking off that thought, Qin Fei decided to get used to the situation and focused on the scenery around them instead.

The Red Ocean truly deserved its reputation as the most highly praised spot. They were still at the foot of the mountain, so they couldn’t enjoy a commanding view of the ocean, but they could admire the beautiful scenery on both sides. On one side were towering mountains, and on the other, a lake. The lake reflected the mountains, looking like a transparent pigeon-blood ruby. Because of the ruby’s intense red color, it was often associated with passion and love, earning it the title “Stone of Love,” symbolizing fiery passion, the beauty of love, eternity, and steadfastness. It was highly praised by couples who came here.

The shape of the lake was an irregular crescent, and the view changed depending on the angle. Qin Fei focused on the scenery, while Xi Yuan focused on Qin Fei. As for the scenery? The female zergs mostly didn’t care for it, they came here to accompany their male partners. If they were going to look at something, it might as well be their own male zergs. At the same time, Xi Yuan’s cold aura began to radiate. It wasn’t just couples who came here, there were also single zergs hoping to find a partner. Qin Fei couldn’t sense the pheromones at all, but it was obvious that this was a sign of a high-ranking male zerg. After all, when middle-ranking male zergs suppressed their pheromones, even higher-ranking female zergs could still sense them.

With a serious expression, Xi Yuan walked a little faster, pulling Qin Fei along as they dodged a female zerg who was about to cross their path. When he saw the shocked expression on his face, Xi Yuan met his gaze without changing his expression. The female zerg shivered. The mask covered most of his face, but those eyes… they were so cold!
