Loyalty

Therefore, it's acceptable for Xu Qing to suggest holding an employee meeting for these slaves.

At the very least, it's necessary to make these slaves realize that he and Xu Qing are different from those slave owners, which can also serve as a form of reassurance.

"Babata, what do you think?" Luo Feng asked.

Babata shrugged. "Whatever. That's just how I see slaves anyway."

"Let's go then, Xiao Qing," Luo Feng called out.

In the middle level of the Spaceship, two thousand Planetary Level Nine slaves sat cross-legged on the floor, managed by twenty Stellar Level One Heimeng Race people.

Xu Qing and Luo Feng arrived, followed by Meng Yi and the other seven.

Upon seeing the two arrive, everyone's eyes turned to them, and they quickly stood up.

"Xiao Qing, it's your turn," Luo Feng gestured, wanting to see what Xu Qing would say.

Xu Qing gave him a no-questions-asked look, then strode forward, placing his hands behind his back like a big shot.

"Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, look at me, look at me, all eyes on me," Xu Qing began.

Suddenly, Luo Feng stumbled and almost fell to the ground. This start... it seemed so convincingly clever!

"Pfft... Hahaha, this kid's trying to make me laugh to death," Babata burst out laughing.

Not to mention Luo Feng and Babata, even the slaves present all had different expressions.

"From now on, you will be my brother-in-law's employees. Remember, employees, not slaves. Although you won't receive a salary, you will never be discriminated against, I promise."

"And then, what I want to say is that everyone should have dreams. If you don't have dreams, what's the difference between you and a salted fish? You can also have your own dreams, like, one day you can get... freedom!" Xu Qing spoke eloquently.

Free!

The moment those two words were uttered, all the slaves shuddered, their expressions complex—some yearning, some indifferent, some numb...

Luo Feng remained silent, watching quietly.

"In terms of strength, I'm sorry, but everyone here is like this," Xu Qing continued, raising his little finger.

He looked at Meng Yi and the others, "And you too, it's the same."

Meng Yi and the others remained expressionless; after all, the other party was their master's brother-in-law, so whatever he said was right.

"Well, I guess you might not believe it, that's okay, so I'm going to give you a little shock," Xu Qing continued.

"Here he comes, he's about to start his act," Babata exclaimed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qing's Natural Domain expanded, instantly enveloping the entire area.

Buzz!

An immense pressure swept in all directions, and colorful light surged like an ocean current. At that moment, everyone stood frozen in place, including Meng Yi and his seven companions.

Except for Luo Feng.

"A domain! And not just one or two levels! Three or more levels... no, at least five!" Meng Yi and the other Star Level Spirit Controller exclaimed.

They knew very well what it meant to possess a domain at the Star Level, especially since the domain's level was so high—they were absolute Human Race geniuses.

Even Meng Yi ninth-level Star Level -level Spirit Controller, lost the power to resist under the pressure of the domain. In fact, he found himself directly imprisoned.

The same was true for the other slaves.

At this moment, the way they looked at Xu Qing completely changed, becoming filled with awe.

"Wow, this guy is insane! He's broken through his domain again! Eighth level!" Babata exclaimed in shock.

Luo Feng also sensed that Xu Qing's domain had become stronger, and it also possessed an added sense of majesty.

"Eightfold domains, almost at the limit, and I'm only at the second level," Luo Feng exclaimed in amazement.

"It's not just an eightfold domain, Luo Feng. Have you noticed? His domain has incorporated the Origin Law of Space, creating a binding force," Babata said.

Luo Feng was taken aback; he hadn't noticed this because Xu Qing had avoided him.

Xu Qing's domain came and went quickly, like an illusion.

"See? I'm stronger than all of you now. The reason I bought you is so you'd work for me. Don't worry, my brother-in-law and I are different from others; we won't exploit you."

"As long as you work honestly, there shouldn't be any problems. Don't worry about being sold off one day. When the time is right, we can give you your freedom, right, brother-in-law?" Xu Qing said, looking at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng stepped forward, nodded, and said, "That's right. You all just need to work diligently. That's my only requirement. Freedom isn't impossible."

Upon hearing Luo Feng utter these words, the slaves could no longer remain indifferent.

"Master, do we also have a chance?" Meng Yi asked nervously.

"Of course, that's on the condition that you can meet my expectations," Luo Feng smiled.

Upon receiving a positive response, Meng Yi and the others immediately knelt down on one knee. "Master, rest assured, we will certainly not disappoint you, even if it costs us our lives."

Brush!

At the same time, all the slaves present knelt on one knee and swore their loyalty to Luo Feng, "We are willing to go through fire and water for our master, even unto death!"

They saw something called hope in Xu Qing and Luo Feng.

"It's not that exaggerated," Luo Feng shook his head.

If he truly treated these slaves as his own property and sent them to their deaths, that would be going too far, and he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Alright, alright, stop kneeling. Get up, just bow and bend over. We don't do that," Xu Qing said, raising his hand.

Everyone then stood up.

Now, their eyes seem to have a new vitality.

"Good, very good, very energetic. Next, please welcome General Manager Luo to say a few words." Xu Qing stepped aside and handed the stage over to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng's eye twitched. What the hell is this "Old Master Luo"?

Babata was laughing hysterically, "This Xu Qing is simply a genius!"

"I've said everything I needed to say. I can't keep any more promises. Remember, do what I've told you to do, and freedom isn't far away," Luo Feng said, only this one sentence.

To him, these people were simply people he bought to protect his family and the Earth.

Because Luo Feng is still very weak now, not even at the Universe Level yet. Once he breaks through to the Universe Level, why not give him the freedom that these people crave?

Luo Feng believed that even if they were given freedom by then, they would not choose to leave.

Next, as planned, Luo Feng had Babata choose a planet to establish a second base.

Then, Babata selected a planet that met Luo Feng's criteria: Bailan Star.

Bailan Star is relatively close to Earth, has a small population, and a cold climate; even at its hottest, the temperature is below minus ten degrees Celsius.

It took Luo Feng half a month to complete the tasks he had planned: establishing a second base on Bailan Star and selling the metal ore mined by Xu Qing and his team in the Virtual Universe.

Then, Luo Feng also bought two mobile castles, one to keep on Bailan Star and the other to bring back to Earth.

In addition to these, Luo Feng also bought a lot of metals he needed to cultivate <The World of the Original Body>.

Finally, there's the Purple Light Dew. Just a little bit can turn someone into Warrior. A total of 100,000 tons were purchased.

One hundred thousand tons of Purple Light Dew could turn everyone on Earthling into Warrior.

Once ordinary people become Warrior, they can begin to absorb cosmic energy to cultivate and evolve their own genes. A hundred years later, the Earth will definitely be transformed, and more and more powerful individuals will be born.

The Earth Rise Project has officially begun!

"Brother-in-law, don't forget the monitoring device. If anyone really breaks into the Solar System, I'll take them out immediately and never let them get close to Earth," Xu Qing said.

Luo Feng nodded. "Don't worry, everything has been bought."

He was also worried about this; if such a thing happened, it would mean that Earth would no longer be safe. Therefore, Xu Qing said that it was necessary to kill the people who came as soon as possible.

Because Babata said that only Universe Adventurer would explore unknown territories and bring great disasters to inhabited planets.

Furthermore, Luo Feng also has a plan: once Earth is exposed, he will buy it and become its ruler.

In the Solar System, ripples spread through space, and a black Spaceship appeared.

"We're back," Xu Qing and Luo Feng both felt a long-lost feeling as they looked at the blue planet.

"First, set up monitoring equipment, from Pluto to Mars, we need to do it all," Luo Feng said.

Afterwards, they spent half a day setting up monitoring devices on several planets. Whenever an unfamiliar Spaceship approached, an alarm would be sounded and relayed to Xu Qing and Luo Feng.

"Build a few more houses, so I can rest here when I come out for a stroll," Xu Qing suggested.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng and Babata exchanged knowing smiles. "Are you really just out for a stroll for no reason?"

"Otherwise?" Xu Qing retorted.

"Let's just say that," Luo Feng naturally wouldn't say it aloud.

Xu Qing glanced at him sideways, "Brother-in-law, you can release your main body to devour metal ore more often in the future. That way, we won't have to go through the trouble of mining it ourselves. Anyway, you still have your Earthling Clone."

"That's right, Luo Feng. You can release the Golden Horned Behemoth to devour metal ores on the planets. These planets happen to have the types of metals you need," Babata agreed.

The Golden Horned Behemoth and Luo Feng's Earthling Clone can cultivate independently without interfering with each other.

"Hmm, that's a good idea," Luo Feng agreed, finding it feasible.

Later, Xu Qing and his group returned to Earth.

"Brother-in-law, I'm going home now. The rest is up to you. Call us when the castle is ready," Xu Qing said, and then ran off.

"He talks a big game about himself, but as soon as he gets back, he rushes home. He's just afraid of his wife," Babata said, pursing his lips.

Luo Feng chuckled and shook his head. "Xiao Qing isn't afraid of his wife, he just loves her dearly."

To be honest, he might actually be a little afraid of Xu Xin, but Xu Qing certainly wouldn't be, since he was the one being pursued.

I was rushing home because I wanted to be the first person they saw, so they could feel at ease.

That's how married couples are; how could a wife not worry at all when her husband goes out?

Luo Feng is the same in this respect.

As soon as she opened the door, Xu Qing called out loudly, "I'm back! Linlin, Ruoruo, aren't you going to come out and greet your dear husband?"

In the gym, Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo, who were exercising, heard the voice, "Xiao Qing is back."

They came out and saw Xu Qing sitting on the sofa, wearing sunglasses, crossing his legs, and drinking juice, looking like a gangster boss.

Moreover, they could clearly sense that Xu Qing possessed a different quality.

As the two people closest to Xu Qing, their intuition couldn't be wrong.

"Xiao Qing, is it fun in space?" Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo sat down next to him and asked curiously.

Xu Qing looked at them through his sunglasses and nodded. "Fun, very fun, but it's a bit too cruel. It's survival of the fittest, the naked law of the jungle."

"Oh? Tell me about it," the two said, their curiosity growing.

Then, Xu Qing recounted his entire experience of going into space.

Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo listened with mixed feelings of surprise and fear.

"Don't worry, honey, I'm strong, I'll be fine. But Earth is indeed too weak right now, it lacks more strong people, and it needs time to become stronger. Linlin, Ruoruo, you two should also break through to the Planetary Level as soon as possible," Xu Qing said.

"Ruoruo is already a high-level War God, and she should be able to break through to the Planetary Level soon. I'm still Intermediate War God, and I'm still a bit far from the Planetary Level," Qin Lin said with a smile.

Xu Qing waved his hand, "It's alright, take your time. With me here, you don't need to worry. Focus on cultivating to the Planetary Level first, and I'll bring back plenty of cultivation resources for you later."

"Thank you Xiao Qing," the two smiled at each other and hugged each other.

Xu Qing thoroughly enjoyed it, saying, "I'll leave everything to my husband."

Seeing his proud expression, Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo both laughed.

"Xiao Qing, why are you suddenly wearing sunglasses? Aren't these my sunglasses?" Qin Lin asked.

"Yes, I'll use it," Xu Qing nodded, then took off his sunglasses.

Immediately, both of them noticed Xu Qing's eyes and were quite surprised. "Xiao Qing, what's wrong with your eyes...? Are you wearing colored contact lenses?"

Even so, they could all tell that these weren't colored contact lenses.

The pupils were colored, and each one was different—one side had five colors, and the other had three. They were like swirling vortexes, deep and mysterious, exuding a faint sense of majesty.

No matter how advanced colored contact lenses are, they can't create this kind of look.

"Why would a grown man like me wear colored contact lenses? This is a result of my cultivation, so I have to wear sunglasses when I go out now, otherwise... I'll look incredibly handsome," Xu Qing sighed.

"I love your narcissistic look," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo said, gently rubbing his face.

"Is there anything wrong with the changes in your eyes?" the two asked.

"No problem, don't worry, it's fine," Xu Qing nodded.

He paused, then added, "My brother-in-law bought a mobile castle, which should be completed in Yangzhou City soon. Let's go take a look then."

"A moving castle?" The two were surprised. Did such a thing really exist?

"That's right, it was bought in space. My brother-in-law is so rich now, everyone in space is rich. I'm so envious I'm drooling. I want to be a rich person in space someday," Xu Qing said.

These words made Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo giggle. "You're already so strong, do you still need to be fixated on such mundane things as money?"

"Once my brother-in-law's castle is completed, we'll go stay there for a while and enjoy it properly. Good things should be shared," Xu Qing had already decided.
