The chat in the live stream was indeed swayed.
[This cannon fodder character found a disguise tool and even unexpectedly picked up a bodyguard? Seriously, his good fortune is yet to come!]
This man seems to be in a tough spot, but he's grateful and has good character.
[I'm so lucky to have found a disguise tool!]
[But if this guy is like this, who can he protect? Maybe he'll just be a burden to some cannon fodder?]
Zi Xi instantly understood Mo Chen's intention.
Although she didn't know the man's background, she was certain he was no ordinary person.
Since he offered to protect her, it's likely that repaying a debt of gratitude is just a pretense; his real intention is to observe her closely and uncover her secrets.
However, given the current situation, she would indeed find it difficult to move an inch on her own.
Having someone who looks at least as good as her in a fight and seems to know the terrain well is more of a benefit than a drawback.
As for his gluttonous appearance, his purpose is not hard to guess.
Hmph, it's not certain who will investigate whom!
She now has room to maneuver and is full of confidence.
"Since you're so sincere, I'll reluctantly agree."
"But you have to keep your word. If you dare to hold us back or have any bad intentions..."
Zi Xi pretended to ponder for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, before raising her chin and speaking in a tone that suggested a young lady bestowing favors.
She brandished the kitchen knife, her gesture clearly threatening.
"Understood, I will do everything in my power to protect you, young lady."
Mo Chen immediately bowed, adopting a very humble posture.
Their eyes met again, and they understood each other without saying a word.
On this perilous, undeveloped planet, a temporary alliance, based on a meal's kindness and their own calculations, was initially formed in this cave filled with the lingering aroma of chicken soup.
Ever since the alliance was formed in the cave that night, Mo Chen has been like an inseparable shadow, clinging firmly to Zi Xi's side.
He perfectly exemplified what it means to be shameless.
Zi Xi walked slowly, and he struggled to clear away the thorns in front of him.
Zi Xi stopped to observe the plants, and he leaned weakly against the tree to catch his breath, staring intently at his precious Zi Xi.
Even if Zi Xi just wanted to go to the stream to wash her face, he would immediately follow, ostensibly to prevent attacks from aquatic star beasts.
"Hey, can you move away from me? Your breath is practically hitting my neck!"
Zi Xi turned around in annoyance, glaring at the man who was following her step by step for less than a meter.
“Miss Chu, this place is fraught with danger. Since I have promised to protect you, I will naturally protect you closely to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
Mo Chen immediately gave a smile that was both ingratiating and weak.
"Besides, with my injury, I still need to rely on you, young lady..."
He clutched his chest and coughed lightly twice.
The effect of that bowl of chicken soup was no accident; he had to figure it out.
Zi Xi rolled her eyes, too lazy to waste any more words with him.
She realized that this man's skin was as thick as a city wall, and she couldn't get rid of him.
However, with him by her side, the small, rustling star beasts dared not approach easily, which saved her a lot of trouble.
As the sun rose higher, the two found a clearing in the woods to rest for a while.
Zi Xi rubbed her rumbling stomach, glanced at the man next to her whose eyes were practically begging to be fed, and sighed.
He winked at Mo Chen, signaling him to block the live stream equipment.
Mo Chen received the signal and immediately reached for the live streaming device without making it obvious, examining it curiously in his hand.
Zi Xi stood up and made a move to walk into the woods.
