High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

"Brother Chen Feng~" Xiao Xue said coquettishly, grabbing Chen Feng's arm.

The two walked alone in the shopping street of the fortress. Xiaoxue kept showing Chen Feng various intimate gestures, making the usually calm and composed Chen Feng blush a little.

"Brother Chen Feng~" Xiaoxue said again in a coquettish tone.

Seeing that even the usually composed and steady Chen Feng was starting to look a little awkward, Xiaoxue smiled happily.

However, it looks extremely lively and cute.

......

After the two arrived at a restaurant and sat down...

Chen Feng looked at the restaurant's menu, wondering why these dishes were so expensive.

Xiaoxue rested her chin on her hand, looking at Chen Feng with great interest, her face full of appreciation and a happy smile.

"Xiaoxue, what are you mainly responsible for in the Snowstorm City-State?" Chen Feng asked.

"My aunt Xue Nai is a councilor in Snowstorm City, but I occasionally help her out," Xiao Xue said sweetly.

Snowstorm City is of moderate size among the sixteen cities of the Snowstorm City-State, but its overall strength ranks below 10th and it is not well-known in the Snowstorm City-State.

However, Xiaoxue, with her extremely powerful talent, has not only advanced to the Heavenly Rank, but has also awakened the extremely rare Ice Dragon Girl bloodline.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiaoxue could directly assume the position of City Lord of Fengxue City; it's just a matter of whether Xiaoxue is willing to do so.

"However, Brother Chen Feng, we've also encountered some problems on our end recently."

"I've heard about it; it's about the Purple Lieutenant Insect Clan." Chen Feng nodded.

Xiaoxue withdrew her hand from her chin and sat up a little straighter.

"So Brother Chen Feng has also been paying attention to the movements in the North. Indeed, in the past half month, a portion of the Purple Guard Insect Clan has already reached the Frozen River Valley, three hundred miles north of the Snowstorm City-State."

"Those insects are very good at hiding in the ice and snow. Last week, I led my people from the city to clear out the Frozen River Valley and we ran into a Purple-rank Insect General at the peak of the Earth level. I was almost disgusted to death by its skills."

At this point, Xiaoxue puffed out her cheeks, seemingly a little sullen.

"Moreover, the people in the Snowstorm City Council are arguing every few days. Each of the dozen or so cities has its own agenda, and they are all afraid of losing their own troops by throwing them into the fray. My aunt argued in the council three times, but no one paid any attention to her each time."

Upon hearing this...

Suddenly, an idea popped into Chen Feng's mind.

Bai Fei's Zerg warship is nearing completion, and Bai Fei's Zerg are about to leave the Hunting Plane. Since the Ziwei Zerg in the Great Xia Plane has always been a feared existence for the Great Xia Kingdom and a constant source of trouble for the Northern Territory.

So why not let the White Flying Insect Clan go directly to the Snowstorm City-State and annex the territory of the Purple Guard Insect Clan?

Moreover, the current Queen of the Ziwei Zerg is only at the Desolate Rank, not much different from Bai Fei's peak Heaven Rank, not to mention that Bai Fei's mother clan is the extremely powerful Leviathan Void Zerg.

"Xiaoxue, if I send another Zerg queen to your Snowstorm City-State to help you eliminate the Purple Lieutenant Zerg, do you think the chances of that are high?" Chen Feng asked.

Xiaoxue abruptly withdrew her hand from her chin, her bright eyes widening in astonishment: "Brother Chen Feng, you mean the Zerg Queen? But... aren't all Zerg cannibals? The Purple Guard Zerg have gnawed on so many outposts in the Northern Border over the years, not even sparing passing caravans. What if another Zerg group is attracted, and they turn on our Snowstorm City?"

Xiaoxue's worries were not entirely unfounded.

The humans of the North have been dealing with the Zerg for over a century, and the deep-seated wariness cannot be erased with just a few words.

Even if Xiaoxue could trust Chen Feng, the Zerg's fearsome reputation was too great, and she couldn't risk the safety of the entire Snowstorm City-State.

Chen Feng calmly explained, "The queen of this Zerg is named Bai Fei, and she originates from the Void Leviathan Zerg, whose species rank is far higher than that of the Purple Lieutenant Zerg. Currently, she is under my control and will not actively invade human territory, but I need to confirm that there are sufficient hunting resources there."

Xiaoxue pursed her lips and fell into thought.

"Brother Chen Feng, can you really guarantee that they are controllable? If we're only counting the number of behemoths on the ice plains, it might not be many. But if the insectoid race you mentioned can feed on the Purple Lieutenant Insectoids and guarantee that they won't invade the Snowstorm City-State, then I might consider suggesting it to my aunt."

"I can go north with you and check the situation first." Chen Feng said confidently, "After the White Fly Insect Clan annexed the Purple Guard Insect Clan, I should be able to ensure that they will head towards the Giant Beast Wasteland or the North City, and they shouldn't disturb you."

Xiaoxue's eyes lit up slightly.

She is a Heavenly Realm expert who has also awakened the Ice Dragon bloodline, giving her a much broader perspective than ordinary councilors.

She understood the weight of Chen Feng's words. Although the Northern Ice Plains were vast and boundless, if a high-level Zerg force were to guard the north and create a balance of power, it would indeed be much less troublesome than the annual allied forces' suppression.

More importantly, these words were spoken by Chen Feng.

Since Xiaoxue met Chen Feng, she has never seen him do anything he wasn't sure of.

"Okay, then I'll tell Brother Chen Feng when I set off that you'll come back with me."

Xiaoxue said.

"You should check the situation first, and then we'll discuss with your aunt how to explain things to the Council of Snowstorm City."

Just then, a waiter came over with an exquisite plate of food. The rich aroma of meat mixed with the sweet scent of icy berries filled the air, interrupting the somewhat somber conversation.

Looking at the honey-roasted venison ribs and creamy sweet soup placed in front of her, Xiaoxue regained some of her charming appearance.

She picked up her knife and fork, carefully cut a piece of the tenderest rib, and then gently pushed it to Chen Feng's lips, saying playfully, "Brother Chen Feng, come on, eat the steak I cut for you myself."

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, but still ate it in one bite.

Sunlight streamed through the crystalline glass window, falling on the girl's silver-white hair and gilding it with a light gold.

Watching Xiaoxue eat with relish, she would occasionally glance up at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's mood became even more cheerful.

After losing Liu Siyu, he had not seen any old acquaintances for a long time, nor had anyone been so affectionate towards him.

The two continued their conversation, unaware that a scheme concerning a major shift in the northern landscape was quietly taking shape over lunch.
