Chapter 39
Ever since Chenxi had all the royal heirs play games with him and then dominated the game, he had rekindled his interest in gaming. Two days later, after he had fully enjoyed the game again, it was already late.
At this time, Chen Xi finally had time to browse the StarNet. While browsing, Chen Xi naturally saw the comments with pictures under her posts.
To be honest, the people who commented on this post were all doing good deeds and wanted to get some attention from Chenxi through this kind of "love me, love my dog" behavior.
However, Chenxi did see the good deeds they had done, but beneath these good deeds, Chenxi also realized the true situation of the Ear Fox Clan.
Looking at the photos of the terrified and weak Earfox tribe huddled together, at the dirty, tangled fur of the Earfox tribe members, some of whom were even injured, he felt a pang of heartache.
Furthermore, Chenxi saw comments in the comment section saying that these Ear Foxes were rescued from slave traders of other races. Slave traders, if these Ear Foxes hadn't been rescued, would they have been sold as slaves?
Because of these photos, Chenxi wanted to learn more about the current situation of the Earfox tribe. However, after searching on the StarNet, he found that while there was information about the Earfox tribe, there wasn't much information about the aspects he wanted to know. The information about the Earfox tribe on the StarNet mainly concerned their biological characteristics and habits, including social organization, breeding cycle, distribution range, and so on. Finally, it added a big evaluation: active generational change, wide distribution, and no threat.
In short, Chen Xi felt a little strange looking at this completely emotionless species data. He couldn't help but check other races, including the Canaanites and the Beastmen, and then discovered that it wasn't the Ear Foxes that were being treated differently. Rather, all the race data followed the same format, describing their biological characteristics, habits, and social organization in great detail, and then adding a rating at the end. For example, the Canaanites' rating was: stable population, smooth generational transition, no threat.
After seeing more and more, Chenxi gradually understood that "无危" means not endangered.
After understanding this, Chenxi felt even more complicated when she looked at the racial information. What was going on with this feeling, which was the same as the encyclopedic information that humans on Earth used to have about other creatures?
However, now is not the time to dwell on this issue. After discovering that he could not get the answer he wanted on the Star Network, Chen Xi thought of someone: the Crown Prince of the Ear Fox Clan. No one should know the current situation of the Ear Fox Clan better than him.
After hesitating for a while, Chenxi had someone bring the prince of the Ear Fox Clan over.
At first, the prince of the Ear Fox Clan, who was summoned by Chen Xi, did not know why Chen Xi wanted to see him. However, almost every time it was a good thing, either there was something fun new or delicious snacks. So he skipped over without any psychological burden.
Until he saw the photos on the two-in-one tablet that Chenxi had given him, at that moment, looking at those photos, the Ear Fox Clan Prince's eyes almost immediately turned red.
When Chenxi saw that the Ear Fox Clan Crown Prince, who always had watery eyes but never cried, seemed to be really about to cry this time, she panicked and spent a long time comforting him before he calmed down.
After calming down, the Earfox prince learned that the photos were taken by other intelligent races who had rescued the Earfox, and that these Earfox had been sent back to their home planet. He then sincerely thanked Chen Xi and told her everything he wanted to know, bit by bit.
After telling Chen Xi about the current situation of the Ear Fox Clan, the Ear Fox Clan Crown Prince lowered his head sadly and said, "Actually, I know all these things. I know that the Ear Fox Clan are slaves in other races and that they are not living well. But we can't defeat other races. We can't even fully protect the Ear Fox Clan on Ear Fox Star. Slave traders from other races often come to our planet to kidnap our people. But we can't protect them. It's all because we are useless."
As the Ear Fox Clan Crown Prince spoke, he was no longer the soft and cute figure Chen Xi usually remembered. Instead, he was filled with self-reproach and heavy pressure. At this moment, one could clearly see the sense of responsibility that belonged to the heir to the royal family in his heart.
Chenxi didn't know what to say, so she comforted the Ear Fox Clan Crown Prince for a long time before having someone send him back to rest.
...
After the Ear Fox Clan Crown Prince left, Chen Xi was also somewhat depressed. He really liked the Ear Fox Clan, and the thought that many of the race's members, as adorable as the Ear Fox Clan Crown Prince, were now living miserable lives made him feel sad.
He couldn't imagine that the Ear Fox Clan, with their petite and delicate bodies, were slaves among all races, doing the heaviest physical labor every day.
The images of the dirty, tangled fox-like creatures in those photos always weighed heavily on Chenxi's mind, no matter when she thought about them.
Chen Xi's unusual behavior was noticed by Jin Yi that evening. Jin Yi gently stroked Chen Xi's cheek and leaned closer, asking, "Did something upset you?"
As Jin Yi said this, his eyes darkened slightly. It was easy to imagine that if someone upset Chen Xi, that person would not have a good outcome.
Faced with the question from Jin Yi, whom she relied on most, Chen Xi, feeling distressed, naturally didn't hold back for long and told him everything that had happened that day.
After listening to Chen Xi's words, Jin Yi did not immediately express his opinion, but instead said calmly, "Is it because of the Ear Fox Clan again? You like him that much?"
Chen Xi, who was already familiar with Jin Yi's routines, was startled and almost immediately replied, "How could that be? You are clearly my favorite."
Hearing Chen Xi's answer, Jin Yi finally nodded in satisfaction and said, "Actually, this problem is easy to solve. Since you don't want the Ear Fox Clan to be bullied or harmed, then let's designate the Ear Fox Clan as a protected species."
