She understood this principle perfectly well.
Back on Earth, her various appearance fees, including funding, were controlled by her family. Liu Muxue also wanted to refuse, but under the constant mental pressure from her parents, she silently endured it all. Now that she had come to this world, it seemed to have given her an opportunity to break free from her original family and start anew. A moment later, Liu Muxue nodded solemnly and said, "I will, A Xing." After speaking, they each sat on the bed.
But because of what had happened earlier, they were completely unable to sleep.
At this moment, Liu Muxue seemed to recall something. She suddenly stood up and went to the stove.
The stove was lit, and hot water was boiling in the iron pot.
Before long, Liu Muxue brought a small bucket of hot water to Cao Xing's side.
A shy expression on her face, she said softly, "A Xing... I see your feet are a bit red from the cold. Soaking them in hot water before sleeping will be more comfortable."
Cao Xing was stunned. He did indeed feel like his feet were almost frozen numb. "Okay, Sister-in-law."
Just as he was about to reach out to take the wooden bucket.
He heard Liu Muxue say softly at this moment, "I'll help you..."
Her voice was very soft, and Cao Xing almost thought he had misheard.
However, Liu Muxue had already squatted down and placed the small wooden bucket by the bed.
With a blush on her face, she clumsily lifted Cao Xing's feet to the edge of the bucket.
This was the first time Cao Xing had let another girl help him soak his feet, and he felt a strange sensation in his heart. "Thank you for your trouble, Sister-in-law."
Liu Muxue said shyly, "N-no trouble..."
The warm water hit Cao Xing's cold feet, and steam rose continuously.
Liu Muxue squatted down, her buttocks perked up, and her waistline was perfectly displayed, truly a devilish figure.
Her delicate hands continuously stroked the top of Cao Xing's feet, each touch sending a jolt through him like an electric shock.
The steam continued to rise, and Cao Xing could clearly feel their body temperatures rising.
"Sister-in-law."
Hearing the call, Liu Muxue raised her head, her face covered in a misty haze.
"Mm..."
At this moment, she noticed Cao Xing's face gradually approaching.
Liu Muxue seemed to realize something, and her face instantly turned incredibly red. She lowered her head.
However, she soon looked up at Cao Xing again.
Besides shyness, her delicate face also seemed to hold some anticipation.
From this angle, Liu Muxue's flushed cheeks were so alluring and delicate, her slightly trembling lips making one want to taste them on the spot.
The distance between them gradually closed, and they could even feel each other's warm breaths.
Liu Muxue was nervous, yet also seemed to hold some anticipation.
"A Xing..."
Liu Muxue wanted to say something else, but she saw the man's face in front of her rapidly enlarge.
A moment later, Liu Muxue, initially slow to react, began to respond with youthful innocence.
The night was like fire.
In the small room, the temperature gradually rose.
A few minutes later, Liu Muxue's chest heaved, and she collapsed into Cao Xing's arms, exhaling softly.
The author is quite honest, unlike others who just brag.
Then, she stood up from Cao Xing's embrace, her face full of shyness, and burrowed into her own small quilt...
And after Liu Muxue hung up the phone.
Father Liu and Mother Liu were immediately furious.
They tried calling Liu Muxue many times, but she directly rejected all their calls.
Mother Liu slumped dejectedly and said, "Old man, what should we do now?" "Little Xue won't give us any food. Dabao and Xiaobao are crying from hunger. We don't even know what we'll eat tomorrow..."
Father Liu, Liu Zhenjie, was also thinking.
At this moment, he seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Yunlan, do you think that boy who's with Little Xue looks familiar?"
Hearing this, Mother Liu's eyes also fell into recollection.
A moment later, Mother Liu exclaimed, "I think I remember!"
"This kid, he seems to be a driver for Chen Jiang Company. He used to pick up our daughter often!"
The two were immediately startled.
Mother Liu said angrily, "Good! A mere driver dares to scold us!"
"When I find an opportunity, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Father Liu calmed down and said, "Don't rush. I just saw Fang Long speaking. It seems he's in the same area as us."
Mother Liu was surprised, "Fang Long? The Fang Long from the Three Heroes Guild?"
Father Liu nodded, "Yes, he seems to have started uniting other members of the Three Heroes Guild. It looks like he's developing well."
Mother Liu immediately beamed, "That's great! I remember Fang Long was also an ardent admirer of Xiaoxue before. Let's contact him first and see if we can get some food from him."
The next day...
A system prompt appeared.
Attention all survivors, you have survived the first night of the Frozen Era.
Novice Protection Period remaining: 4 days 22 hours.
"There are still 5 days of safety time."
Cao Xing opened his eyes and immediately saw the beauty lying beside him.
A faint fragrance seemed to linger on her lips.
Last night, they hadn't crossed the final line.
On their first day in this world, neither of them was mentally prepared.
Cao Xing shook his head, casting aside his scattered thoughts.
Then he glanced at the Area Channel.
District 174 Channel Online Users: 38024/401731
Compared to yesterday, over a thousand more people had died.
They hadn't survived the first night in this world.
The World Channel and Area Channel were filled with all sorts of cries for help.
Liu Muxue also woke up at this time. She seemed to recall what happened last night, and instantly became shy again.
She poked her head out and asked softly, "A Xing... What are we doing today?"
Cao Xing said, "Today, we need to upgrade the Polar Dweller Hut first, and then recruit 4 Polar Humans to work."
"Then we'll set up the Tailor Shop, Blacksmith Shop, and so on, but we don't need to do those ourselves."
"For now, let's go out and assign jobs to those Polar Humans."
"Okay..."
Liu Muxue responded softly.
Then, the two of them got out of the small wooden bed together and walked out of the Lord's Hut.
The sky in this apocalyptic world was still dim. Even during the day, sunlight was rarely seen.
Four Polar Humans were already standing outside the campfire, waiting.
"Greetings, Lord!"
"Good morning, Second Lord!"
The four Polar Humans shouted respectfully.
Cao Xing nodded, then assigned jobs to all of them.
He had the four Polar Humans work in pairs, starting the upgrade of the Polar Dweller Hut simultaneously.
A system prompt appeared.
Consume materials: Wood * 50, Stone * 30, to upgrade Polar Dweller Hut to Level 2?
"Yes."
[Upgrading Polar Dweller Hut, remaining time 27 minutes...]
The Polar Humans began their work.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing took out the recruitment scroll that had dropped yesterday from his backpack.
Frost Wolf Knight Recruitment Scroll (Blue): You can use this scroll to recruit a Level 10 Frost Wolf Knight.
The reason he didn't recruit it yesterday was that it was getting late, and he didn't need to fight.
Moreover, for such a powerful creature, the food consumed every night was a huge number. It was better to save a little if possible.
A system prompt appeared.
Use the scroll to recruit a Frost Wolf Knight?
"Yes."
Cao Xing directly clicked confirm.
The next moment, a massive hexagram array appeared beneath his feet.
Then, the hexagram array began to emit an even more dazzling light.
"Whoa, this commotion seems even more terrifying than when I summoned Ilena!"
Cao Xing's eyes were filled with surprise.
Through the dazzling light curtain of the teleportation array, Cao Xing vaguely saw a huge figure, over two meters tall, exuding an oppressive aura.
A powerful aura emerged.
Then, the light dissipated.
A white giant wolf, covered in snow-white fur, with a body length of nearly three meters, appeared.
Its thick, powerful limbs and exposed fangs all showcased the giant wolf's formidable strength.
And looking up.
On the back of this white wolf sat a Frost Wolf Knight, clad in white armor and wielding a long sword!
At this moment, the Frost Wolf Knight pulled the reins.
The Frost Wolf below immediately raised its head and let out a long howl.
"Awoooo!!!"
The sound was impactful and resonant, spreading for several kilometers.
It was more than twice as powerful as the oppressive aura of the Serpentfolk Priestess!
Upon noticing Cao Xing below.
The Frost Wolf Knight removed his helmet, revealing a head of deep brown hair, wild like weeds.
Then, he leaped off, performing a standard knight's salute to Cao Xing.
"Frost Wolf Knight Assam at your service!"
Cao Xing stared at the combination of man and wolf, his eyes filled with shock.
Then, attributes appeared before him.
Frost Wolf Knight: Assam (Un-evolved)
(Note: Upon reaching level 10, you can evolve into a Tier 2 creature through the Heart of Strength!)

Talent: Wolf Pack Will (When the number of Frost Wolves gathered exceeds 10, movement speed increases by 20%, and attack power increases by 20%.) Hunger: 65
Cao Xing looked at the attributes of these two behemoths, a look of intense joy flashing in his eyes.
"Good heavens, is this a buy one get one free?"
"And both are such powerful creatures, this is a huge profit!"
The sudden appearance of two level 10 creatures was completely unexpected for Cao Xing.
At this moment, the Frost Wolf Knight maintained his saluting posture, seemingly waiting for Cao Xing to issue commands.
Cao Xing pondered for a moment, not rushing to give the Frost Wolf Knight an order.
Instead, he first cast Ice Armor Technique, Ice Healing Technique, Scale Armor, and Serpentfolk Berserk – a total of four permanent buffs – on Assam and the Frost Wolf Knight beside him.
The Frost Wolf Knight felt four wondrous energies suddenly surge within him, greatly enhancing his survivability and combat prowess.
Assam immediately knelt on one knee, exclaiming in awe, "You are the Lord with the greatest power I have ever seen. Assam pledges his loyalty to you!"
You helped your territory member, Assam, improve his strength. Loyalty has increased. Current Loyalty: 80
Assam's loyalty surged.
Cao Xing was filled with excitement.
This SSS-Rank Talent is truly useful. In the future, no matter what type of unit he recruits, he can give them a round of buffs.
Then, Cao Xing looked at the Frost Wolf Knight and said, "Assam, I have an exploration mission for you next."
"Head northeast from the camp. Mark any resource nodes or wild creatures you encounter along the way."
"Return to report to me once the exploration range reaches ten kilometers."
The Frost Wolf Knight stomped his feet and respectfully replied, "I obey your command, Lord!"
With that, he directly flipped onto the wolf's back, raised his longsword high, and pointed forward.
"Frostwolf Warriors, move out!"
