Aside from their captivating appearance and innate talent for seduction, the Succubus race possesses another characteristic: they are actually highly intelligent. While their combat prowess is low, their minds are exceptionally sharp.
They excel at intellectual labor, can manage many affairs effectively, and learn quickly.
However, compared to these abilities, the world tends to focus more on the Succubus' appearance.
After all, there are plenty of intelligent interstellar races.
Several unmanned flying cars parked inside Zhao Chen's Starship Workshop. During the period he had rented the workshop, this place was essentially his private territory.
Without his permission, even personnel from the Arctic Fox Starport were not allowed to enter.
"Come out, you're safe now," Zhao Chen called out to the unmanned flying cars after getting out of his vehicle.
Then, one by one, Succubi cautiously stepped out of the cars, wearing black cloaks to conceal their identities.
"This is my Starship Workshop, and this is my starship," Zhao Chen introduced to the Succubi. "And I am the Captain of this starship. My name is Zhao Chen."
"My name is Lilith. I am their leader," Lilith stepped forward. It was clear she was nervous and timid, but for the sake of her people behind her, she had to step up.
At that moment, a woman got out of another unmanned flying car—it was Zhao Wan'er.
Zhao Wan'er looked in surprise at the several additional people in front of Zhao Chen. Upon closer inspection, she exclaimed, "Succubi!"
Lilith immediately became wary, staring at this woman.
"Don't be nervous, this is my sister," Zhao Chen waved his hand dismissively, then looked at Zhao Wan'er. "You're responsible for settling them. They'll be staying on our starship temporarily for a while.
First, take them to bathe, then to the dining hall for a meal, and arrange clean clothes and dormitories for them."
"Alright," Zhao Wan'er responded instinctively, but quickly realized something and pressed further, "Wait, you haven't explained where you 'acquired' these Succubi from!"
Although she was a woman, Zhao Wan'er was well aware of what Succubi meant to most men.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by 'acquired'? I call this helping others," Zhao Chen rolled his eyes. "I'll explain the details to you later. It seems the batch of raw materials I ordered is about to arrive, so I need to check on that first.
As for the clothing I just ordered, you handle arranging that."
With that, Zhao Chen hurriedly ran off.
Leaving Zhao Wan'er and the group of Succubi behind.
What Succubi? Nothing was as important as Zhao Chen's starship!
...
And so, Lilith and her people boarded this massive starship.
"My name is Zhao Wan'er. Although I don't know how that guy brought you here,
you can rest assured that as long as I'm here, he won't do anything bad to you!" Zhao Wan'er said firmly.
"My... name is Lilith..." Lilith said softly.
Her people still huddled timidly behind her, but they also looked around curiously at the bright and splendid corridors of the starship.
Compared to the Zero Blizzard, the interior structure of the T2 Queen Bee-class Heavy Carrier Starship was incredibly beautiful, like a work of art.
Zhao Wan'er had fallen in love with this starship the first time she stepped inside.
"There's a bit of a smell on you... I'll take you to bathe first." Zhao Wan'er looked at Lilith and said.
Lilith's cheeks flushed red. They had been hiding in the underground pipes of the starport all this time, so of course they carried unpleasant odors.
The spacious bathhouse was filled with steam.
On both sides were shower cubicles equipped with showerheads, and in the middle was a bathing pool.
"Hurry and go wash up. Clean clothes are placed here. After bathing, change into them yourselves. Later, I'll take you to eat." Zhao Wan'er stood at the entrance of the bathhouse and said.
"O... okay." Lilith still felt somewhat restrained, but some succubus girls couldn't resist heading to the shower cubicles to enjoy the warm water.
"It's actually hot water! I haven't had a hot bath in so long!"
"But... using water like this... won't we get scolded? I heard water resources are very precious on starships."
"I once rode on a T2 starship. That ship's shower area only had five spots, so cramped you could barely turn around. Everyone only had three minutes to shower, and it wasn't even clean hot water like this," one succubus said.
Lilith glanced around. As a succubus who had once served on a starship from the Succubus Planet Kingdom, she knew very well that a bathhouse like this was an incredibly luxurious configuration!
"Don't worry about using water. Our starship uses the most advanced cosmic particle water molecule harvesting technology, so water isn't very precious." Zhao Wan'er's voice came from outside at that moment.
This completely dispelled their concerns.
The succubi began to relax and bathe, washing away the grime from their bodies, revealing their delicate figures one by one!
If Zhao Chen were here now, his eyes would probably light up.
Because they had been in the underground pipes before, their appearances weren't clear, but now, each one was radiant and beautiful—truly the kind of beauties pursued by humanoid males across the universe.
Over ten minutes later, all the succubi had finished bathing and changed into clean clothes.
Honestly, if they hadn't heard they were going to eat, they could have bathed in this blissful place all day!
"Lilith, will I have a chance to bathe here again in the future?" a young succubus tugged at Lilith's arm, looking back at the bathhouse and whispering.
Seeing the hope in the young succubus's eyes, Lilith couldn't bear to deny it and whispered, "Yes..."
To this day, she still didn't know the purpose of the man named Zhao Chen helping them, nor did she understand what fate awaited them next.
"Miss Wan'er, we're all washed up. Thank you for the clothes. Actually, our clothes... could still be worn." Lilith said somewhat sheepishly.
But in truth, their clothes were torn and tattered, completely ill-fitting.
During their days of escape, who cared about clothing? As long as it covered their bodies, it was enough.
Zhao Wan'er looked at the dozen or so succubi before her, and her eyes widened in an instant.
"You... are... just too beautiful..." Zhao Wan'er said enviously.
Succubi possessed an innate charm, an aura that accompanied their every gesture—something they couldn't control.
Thus, they were all natural beauties.
Lilith's cheeks flushed red, but she was long accustomed to such gazes.
Zhao Wan'er glanced at Lilith, then at herself, especially her chest—it was truly like comparing a small witch to a great one!
However, Zhao Wan'er's looks weren't actually bad; it was just that she hadn't fully matured yet, and her style was completely different from Lilith and the others.
"Ahem... Let's go eat... go eat." Zhao Wan'er changed the subject, leading Lilith and the others to the Starship Dining Hall.
Inside the Starship Dining Hall, Zhao Wan'er pointed to the food counter. "Order whatever you want, just don't waste anything."
After Zhao Wan'er finished speaking, not a single Succubus stepped forward.
Zhao Wan'er looked over in surprise, only to see the Succubi standing there as if frozen in place.
A few of them were staring intently at a Half-Beast Female Starship Crew member eating in the distance, making the beastwoman feel quite embarrassed.
"Do you usually eat all this?" Lilith asked in astonishment.
Everything on the menu was natural food, not synthetic or anything like that.
"Of course, feel free to order as much as you want," Zhao Wan'er said matter-of-factly.
Lilith breathed in the fragrant aroma and sighed inwardly: This isn't a starship—it's heaven!
