Chapter 52
However, no matter how ugly Jia Ye's expression was, no one paid any attention to him.
Meanwhile, Chenxi and Jinyi went to inspect their accommodations in the Jiaye tribe for the next few days. The rooms, which had been modified by the Zhi tribe, were both comfortable and retained the unique characteristics of the Jiaye tribe.
After taking a shower in the bathroom equipped with futuristic bathing facilities, Chenxi rolled around on the soft bed a few times. Jinyi, who followed behind, took a dry towel and squeezed it over Chenxi's head to gently dry his hair.
The interstellar era towel is not just an ordinary towel. It combines automatic heating and constant temperature with super absorbent material. When you put it on your head, it is not only warm and comfortable, but it also dries your hair very quickly, completely drying it in less than a minute.
Covered with a warm, dry towel, Chenxi obediently stopped what he was doing and let Jin Yi dry his hair. After a few dozen seconds, the towel was removed, and Chenxi shook his head. He could feel the refreshing arc of his now-dry hair as he shook it, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
As Jin Yi gazed at Chen Xi's smiling face, a gentle smile involuntarily appeared in his cold eyes.
He reached out and carefully touched Chenxi's fair cheek, then moved his fingers to the side and buried them in Chenxi's short black hair. The black hair was incredibly soft, and because it had been carefully cared for, each strand was exceptionally shiny. The feeling of touching it was indescribably comfortable.
It's easy to imagine that if this scene were broadcast on the StarNet, it would inevitably trigger another wave of curses such as "**Mastermind".
Chen Xi squinted comfortably as Jin Yi stroked his hair, even nuzzling against him. Suddenly, he remembered something and softly requested, "I want to go out and play tomorrow. I want to visit the Canaanite market."
"good."
"I also want to buy things myself to take back as souvenirs."
"Okay." The deep reply seemed to contain boundless tolerance and doting affection.
...
The following day, after a night's rest, Chenxi got up refreshed and began her journey to Canaan once again.
Since the Canaanite king had already shown her around the palace yesterday, Chenxi only briefly visited some unfamiliar places today before happily leading the Zhi tribe out of the palace.
It's worth mentioning that the Canaanite king was quite old, and he was already out of breath after just one walk around the palace. So, when Chenxi left the palace this time, she simply didn't let the Canaanite king accompany her, and left the task of introducing the scenery along the way to Ga'e.
The Canaanite king breathed a sigh of relief. Not only could his body not handle the amount of activity, but just the fact that he didn't have to accompany those cold and dangerous intelligent people made him feel like he could live for another two years.
However, since it concerned the Zhi people, even though he himself did not need to accompany him, the Canaanite king dared not neglect the matter. He personally gave Ga'e great privileges, ensuring that he could properly command the people of various Canaanite regions to complete the mission.
...
Chen Xi left the Canaanite palace full of anticipation, but after half a day of sightseeing, he lost interest. Wherever he went, the ordinary Canaanite people scattered in panic. Even with the guards of the Canaanite palace maintaining order, they couldn't hide the panic among the people. The market he wanted to visit was deserted, with many stalls empty. Even the stall owners had abandoned their stalls and run away. The few remaining ones were shaking like Parkinson's patients, their faces so pale that Chen Xi worried they might faint at any moment.
Even worse, as Chenxi walked past a tightly closed wooden door, he clearly heard a muffled sob coming from inside. Chenxi…
Ga'e's expression turned somewhat awkward. Although he was a very shrewd person, it didn't mean that his entire race was like him. Even though he had tried his best to control it, he still couldn't control the deep-seated fear that ordinary Canaanites had of the Zhi people.
Jin Yi's face darkened. Chen Xi was the apple of everyone's eye, and he wouldn't allow him to suffer any injustice. The dark red eyes of all the other members of the Intelligence Clan seemed to grow even colder.
Sensing the change in the atmosphere around them, Chenxi quickly said, "Let's go, let's go take a look ahead."
Thanks to Chenxi's words, a potential crisis was averted. Jia'e, who was almost sweating profusely, looked at Chenxi with gratitude.
As Chen Xi wandered aimlessly through the streets, he couldn't help but think back to his time playing among the Water Fish Clan. It was said that the Water Fish Clan was known for its fierce and ruthless people, and that the current king of the Water Fish Clan was an even more formidable character. He hadn't really noticed it before, but after coming to the Canaan Clan and comparing the two, he could feel the obvious difference.
You should know that he had received a warm welcome from the Water Fish Clan. No matter where he went in the Water Fish Clan, the local Water Fish Clan always showed a friendly and welcoming attitude. Even though some of the younger Water Fish Clan members seemed a little nervous in front of the Intelligent Race, no one showed any signs of panic or running away. In fact, they always had smiles on their faces, making people who didn't know them think that the Water Fish Clan was a very friendly and hospitable race.
Chenxi hadn't thought much about it before because she was just here for fun, just like when she traveled on Earth before, and didn't feel anything strange. But now that she thought about it, the Canaanite people's attitude towards the Zhi people should be the normal state.
Sigh, the king of the Water Fish Clan really goes to great lengths.
Now that things have come to this, Chenxi finally realized how much effort the Water Fish Clan King had put into entertaining them. Hmm, thinking about how much effort that king had put in, only to have Jin Yi get angry because he gave the wrong gift, and then all of them left without even saying goodbye, it's really a bit pitiful.
Chen Xi secretly decided that after some time, when Jin Yi was no longer angry about the Water Fish Clan, he would say a few good words for the Water Fish Clan and give them some benefits.
...
As Chen Xi walked ahead, pondering, the royal heirs following behind also made a new discovery. They noticed that while many Canaanite people were trying to avoid eye contact, their gazes kept drifting towards them, specifically towards the Ear-Fox Prince. Some even exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the Ear-Fox Prince, or whispered among themselves while looking at him.
Their exaggerated reactions left the royal heirs both puzzled and speechless. What was wrong with these Canaanites? What was so interesting about the Ear-Fox Clan? Weren't they the lowest and most common race? What was there to see? Some of the royal heirs couldn't help but glance sideways at the short figure beside them.
Sensing these gazes, the prince of the Ear-Fox Clan couldn't help but tremble, and then quietly moved a little further away from them.
However, some observant royal heirs soon noticed that they didn't seem to see a single Earfox on the streets, which they found strange. Come to think of it, they hadn't seen any Earfox among the Waterfish Clan either. However, it made sense that the Waterfish Clan, who lived in the sea, didn't use land-dwelling races as slaves. But it was truly odd that the Canaanites hadn't seen a single Earfox slave after traveling for so long.
Those royal heirs who discovered this suspicious detail kept it in mind, intending to find out what really happened later.
...
That day, Chenxi finished her outing earlier than planned. Those in Binlan who were taking care of Chenxi all had a hint of worry in their eyes, and Jin Yi's eyes were also somewhat gloomy.
He didn't hold Chen Xi accountable for what happened today because of her obstruction, but his patience isn't unlimited. If the Canaanites continue to show Chen Xi what happened today, he won't let them off the hook.
A cold glint flashed in Jin Yi's eyes when he suddenly felt his sleeve being tugged. He lowered his eyes, his gaze returning to calm, and asked Chen Xi in a gentle voice, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xi's eyes lit up. "I suddenly have a bold idea."
A smile appeared in Jin Yi's eyes. He leaned down slightly, his long, perfect hand resting on Chen Xi's shoulder. His godlike face was close to Chen Xi's, and his deep, seductive voice said, "Whatever bold ideas you have, I will grant them."
