Chapter 71
Chenxi didn't understand why Carlo was looking at her with such an indescribable expression. Was there something wrong with what he just said?
After thinking about it for a while without figuring it out, and with more important things to do now, Chen Xi put the question aside for the time being and continued to Carlo: "These are all my kin. They have found me. Don't worry, the Red Tide Worms are no longer a threat."
As he spoke, Chen Xi looked in the direction of Masha and saw the little baby on the boy's back still innocently biting his fingers. The surrounding red tide insects had also been swept away. He immediately felt relieved and patted his chest. Fortunately, Jin Yi and the others arrived in time. Otherwise, even if he had blocked that attack, he would not have been able to stop the other red tide insects.
Following Chen Xi's confident words, Carlo looked at the battlefield and found that the battlefield was indeed as Chen Xi had said. It had turned from the hell on earth into a hell for the Red Tide Worms. Apart from the many Red Tide Worms that had been turned to ashes by the rays that fell from the sky at the beginning, the remaining Red Tide Worms were struggling painfully under the hands of Chen Xi's kin with dark red eyes.
It could even be said that if Chenxi's kin hadn't wanted the remaining Red Tide Worms to die too easily, there wouldn't have been a single living Red Tide Worm left on the scene.
Carlo's gaze lingered on one of the figures cruelly torturing the Red Tide Bugs. After a pause, he couldn't help but look back at the little cutie.
Really, although those figures and the little cutie are exactly the same in terms of racial characteristics except for hair and eye color, the aura they exude is completely different.
Those figures with dark red eyes exuded a chilling aura that was so intense it instilled fear in anyone who saw them, making them constantly on guard and never daring to relax for a moment.
The little cutie, on the other hand, only looks soft and fluffy, and doesn't give off any sense of threat at all.
Could people with such a vastly different auras really be from the same race?
Forcibly suppressing the inexplicable thought that arose in his mind, Carlo thanked the little cutie and said, "Thank you, little cutie."
"Hmm?" Golden eyes narrowed slightly, and a gaze carrying terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon Carlo.
At that moment, Carlo experienced the feeling of his heart stopping. At the same time, he realized that the little cutie's red-eyed relatives were not the most terrifying. The most terrifying was actually the golden-eyed relative next to the little cutie with a powerful aura.
When Chen Xi saw Jin Yi's expression, he suddenly realized something. Oh no, Jin Yi was jealous! When he and Jin Yi met earlier, they had shared the data from the protection sphere during that time, including the data from the translation system, so Jin Yi could understand what Carlo was saying.
So, Jin Yi, who usually gets jealous even of her own backup body, is now seeing someone openly calling her "little cutie" in front of her?!
Chen Xi shuddered and quickly grabbed Jin Yi's arm, explaining, "It's because I've been staying in the protective sphere ever since I got here, bouncing around on my head every day. I look so cute. Plus, the translation system hadn't collected enough data at first, and we didn't speak the language, so they didn't know my name and just called me 'Little Cutie.' There's no other meaning to it."
Jin Yi listened to Chen Xi's explanation and continued to stare at the alien named Carlo.
Although Carlo was initially intimidated by Jin Yi's sudden surge of immense pressure, as a male, he couldn't back down under the gaze of his rival. So, after his heart almost stopped for a moment at the beginning, although his face was pale, he still withstood the pressure and met Jin Yi's gaze directly, calmly staring back at him.
In the atmosphere that inexplicably began to turn confrontational, Chenxi's explanation became irrelevant. Males always have their own intuition and can accurately pinpoint potential rivals.
Although Jin Yi was certain that the alien named Carlo, who dared to call Chen Xi "little cutie," was not so innocent, as a qualified partner, Jin Yi still respected Chen Xi's opinion. Since Chen Xi treated him as a friend, he naturally could not treat him in a simple and crude way in front of Chen Xi.
Anyone who dares to slap their love rival in front of their partner is brainless.
Thinking this, Jin Yi even gave Carlo a slight smile.
Upon encountering Jin Yi's polite and courteous smile, Carlo suddenly felt a chill for no apparent reason.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized for the time being, Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief. However, perhaps because he was still a little worried, and since he now had some time, Chen Xi told Jin Yi in detail about what had happened during this period and how he had managed to survive until now.
Speaking of Chenxi's life after being thrown here by spatial fluctuations, Carlo is naturally a prominent figure in it.
When Chenxi ran out of food and was hungry, Carlo gave her some. Later, when Chenxi could find food herself but couldn't cook it properly, Carlo took over all the chores to ensure that Chenxi had food to eat every meal. With all the other help, as Chenxi recounted, Jin Yi's gaze towards Carlo softened considerably.
Finally, he even said to Carlo seriously, "My Chenxi wouldn't do such things. Thank you very much for your help during this time."
In Jin Yi's heart, although her love rival was hateful, nothing was more important than Chen Xi's safety.
During the time when none of them could reach Chenxi, Carlo provided Chenxi with what she needed most, from food to daily protection, so that Chenxi could wait for them to arrive in good health. He also ensured that Chenxi did not suffer the kind of pain that would make them feel heartbroken just thinking about it. Jin Yi was very grateful to Carlo for this.
It could even be said that Carlo's achievements during this period have completely offset the offense caused by his hidden intentions, and he may even be rewarded.
Jin Yi's hostility towards Carlo has finally dissipated for the time being.
Just then, a group of intelligent beings arrived beside Chenxi. Like other intelligent beings, this group of intelligent beings had tall figures, handsome faces, and elegant manners. The only difference was that they all had orange eyes.
Looking at the figure that Binlan had longed for day and night, which had finally reappeared before her eyes, her eyes, which should have been made of ice, were almost filled with warmth. The torment in her heart for countless days and nights had finally come to an end.
