Chapter 42
After a long while, Chen Xi said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "I didn't want to cry, and I didn't cry just now. I was just touched and happy."
However, Jin Yi's expression remained serious. "That won't work either."
Before he could say anything more, a soft, warm body snuggled into his arms, her arms wrapped around Jin Yi's waist. Chen Xi said in a sweet voice, "Okay, okay, I know, I won't cry. Thank you for everything you've done for me. I'm so happy to see that all the fox-eared people have homes now."
As soon as Chen Xi used her waist-hugging move, Jin Yi immediately fell silent. After a long while, he raised a hand and gently stroked Chen Xi's soft hair, saying, "As long as you're happy."
The two quietly enjoyed the moment of tranquility. Chen Xi looked up at Jin Yi and said mischievously, "But speaking of which, are you really that afraid of me crying?"
Chen Xi's words were just a casual remark, but to everyone's surprise, under his gaze, Jin Yi's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he let out a low, firm "Mm."
As Chen Xi calmed down without realizing it, Jin Yi stared at her with his bright golden eyes and said with utmost seriousness, "Anything that makes you cry should not exist in this world."
Jin Yi spoke these words with utmost seriousness, and in that atmosphere, Chen Xi inexplicably felt a sense of being protected.
However, after being moved for a moment, Chen Xi came to his senses and added, "Things that make me cry can only disappear if I say they should disappear."
A few seconds later, Chenxi heard another "Mmm" in her ear.
Chen Xi couldn't help but smile wildly. It felt so good to be pampered and spoiled. However, at this moment, a thought inexplicably popped into Chen Xi's mind: perhaps from today onwards, his tears could be renamed biological nuclear bombs.

During her time on Drunken Dream Star, Chenxi had tried everything she could, even inviting all the royal heirs to play racing games and other activities with her. Having run out of ideas, Chenxi started to get bored again. So that evening, she made a request to Jin Yi: "I'm getting tired of staying here. Don't we have tourist attractions this time? Are there any exciting places I want to go?"
Jin Yi naturally agreed to Chen Xi's request, saying, "Okay, we'll set off tomorrow."
Chenxi's eyes lit up, and she reiterated, "It has to be exciting enough, I've been so bored lately."
Chenxi was probably cooped up because of her previous illness and weakness. After recovering her health, she was particularly eager for thrills. However, while the scenery of Zuimeng Star was beautiful, it was too mild. There were no steep mountains like Mount Everest on Earth, so Chenxi had nowhere to go even if she wanted to bungee jump. During this time, she could only watch horror movies to find excitement.
Jin Yi, who knew Chen Xi's hobbies very well, nodded and assured her, "It will definitely be exciting enough."
"That's good." Chen Xi smiled broadly. After Jin Yi helped her change into her pajamas, Chen Xi took out her virtual reality glasses, lay down on the bed, and started watching a movie.
Almost instantly, the scene of the movie Chen Xi was watching appeared in Jin Yi's mind. He sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching Chen Xi wearing the virtual reality glasses. Unfortunately, after waiting for more than ten minutes, he only saw Chen Xi's expression change slightly from time to time, but overall she remained lying very calmly on the bed. Knowing that what he was hoping for would not happen, Jin Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Chen Xi was becoming more and more calm when watching horror movies with the virtual reality glasses, unlike at the beginning when she would scream and burrow into his arms from time to time.
However... the tourist attractions he took Chenxi to this time should allow him to relive that feeling.
Thinking about all this, a hint of anticipation appeared on Jin Yi's face.
The next day, after Chenxi woke up and had breakfast, she boarded her custom-made starship, which was as luxurious as a palace. After Chenxi entered the starship, the fleet set off immediately. All the preparations had been completed long ago, while Chenxi was having breakfast and hadn't even woken up yet.
Even Chenxi's playmates, those royal heirs, had boarded an ordinary starship long before Chenxi, waiting to set sail.
The residences of those extraterrestrial royal heirs on the starship were the same as when they arrived—an enclosed space with a large hall. However, this time, these royal heirs were far less anxious and nervous than when they arrived. As soon as they entered the place, they found a room and settled in. After settling in, they came out to exchange information in the hall.
However, they didn't have much to talk about at this point, because none of them knew where these intelligent beings planned to go.
Meanwhile, Chenxi, residing in his palace-like starship and enjoying emperor-like service, opened his mouth to bite on a peeled grape from Binlan, stroked Xianxian in his hand, and asked, "Where are we going this time?"
In response to Chen Xi's question, a virtual screen quickly appeared in front of him. The next moment, he was startled by the sharp teeth that almost filled the entire screen. Only after the sharp teeth left did he see the enormous creature swimming in the void of the universe.
Looking into the distance, there is a meteorite belt, and within that meteorite belt are countless of those terrifying creatures.
