Cold Wind Like a Knife, Night Like Fire

It was clear that Liu Muxue had also seen what was happening in the chat channel.

Cao Xing was taken aback when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Okay, Sister-in-law, I understand."

In truth, Cao Xing didn't take Fang Long's threat to heart.

From his understanding of these guilds, their methods of dealing with him would be nothing more than finding his camp and launching an attack.

With the current survivors only being level one or two, they had trouble even leaving their camps. There was no way they could travel tens or even hundreds of kilometers to cause trouble for Cao Xing.

Moreover, even if they dared to come.

At that time, Ilena and the Frost Wolf Knights alone would be able to carry out a one-sided slaughter against them.

Cao Xing wouldn't even need to summon the Icefield Druids.

And next, he was about to build a Primary Elemental Arrow Tower, which was the real killer weapon!

At that point, let alone one Fang Long, even the entire Three Heroes Guild attacking together would just be cannon fodder.

This was also the foundation of Cao Xing's confidence.

Seeing that Liu Muxue was still a little worried, Cao Xing comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, you don't need to worry about the camp's safety."

Liu Muxue nodded slightly.

Her gaze was fixed on Cao Xing, and in him, Liu Muxue seemed to see a confident aura.

A moment later, Liu Muxue's pretty face flushed.

She said softly, "A Xing, it's already dark, it's time to rest..."

"Okay."

Cao Xing nodded, then returned to his small wooden bed.

Night fell...

The stove in the room crackled, constantly emitting heat.

However, the cold wind outside continued to howl.

Even wrapped in wolf fur, he could still feel waves of coldness attacking his skin.

"Hiss... why is it so cold tonight?"

Cao Xing crawled out of the wolf fur and glanced at the temperature display above his head.

Current Temperature: -28℃

Good heavens, the indoor temperature was close to minus thirty degrees. No wonder it was so cold.

Cao Xing saw that Liu Muxue's body was trembling slightly on her small wooden bed.

"Sister-in-law, can you still manage?" Cao Xing asked.

Liu Muxue gritted her teeth and replied, shivering, "I... I'm fine..."

Seeing her like this, Cao Xing knew she was just putting on a brave face.

So, he took out a large bear hide from his backpack and directly covered Liu Muxue with it.

A layer of wolf fur and a layer of bear hide were enough to resist the low temperatures of the night.

Feeling the weight on her body, Liu Muxue's eyes were filled with gratitude.

"Th... thank you... A Xing..."

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

He returned to his own small wooden bed, wrapped himself in wolf fur, and prepared to sleep.

Just then, Liu Muxue said softly from behind, "A Xing... you gave me the bear hide, what about you?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "My constitution is stronger than yours. I'll move my bed closer to the stove later, and I'll be fine."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue suddenly said, "Um... A Xing, do you want to share this bear hide with me..."

"Hmm?" Cao Xing turned around in confusion.

He saw that Liu Muxue was covering half her face, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

After a moment, she seemed to gather her courage and said, "This bear hide is too big, it's a waste for me to cover myself alone..."

"If two people share it, it will be warmer in the bed..."

After speaking, Liu Muxue buried her head in the covers, too embarrassed to show her face.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, then I'll move my small wooden bed over and combine the two beds."

Soon, the two small wooden beds were combined into one large bed.

The thick bear hide was spread over it, no different from a large quilt.

Cao Xing, wrapped in his own wolf fur, also crawled in.

Feeling the movement inside the covers, Liu Muxue's body trembled slightly.

She kept her back to Cao Xing, clearly feeling very shy.

Cao Xing didn't think much of it.

He just felt that after getting into the covers, it was indeed much warmer.

The night passed slowly.

Cao Xing gradually fell asleep.

In the latter half of the night, Cao Xing suddenly felt a warm arm reach into his covers.

Cao Xing's heart leaped, and he woke up from his sleep.

He turned around and saw Liu Muxue, her face flushed with embarrassment, her head lowered so he couldn't see her face.

"Sister-in-law?"

Liu Muxue said shyly, "A Xing... it's so cold... I want you to hold me while I sleep..."

"May I?"

At this moment, a flash of lightning seemed to strike Cao Xing's mind. He understood Liu Muxue's intentions.

He turned around, directly pulled Liu Muxue into his arms, and pressed her down beneath him.

"Mmm..."

Liu Muxue seemed to have not expected Cao Xing to make such a bold move, letting out a soft moan.

Then she found that the man's heavy breaths were falling on her face.

Liu Muxue's delicate body trembled, and she instinctively clutched a corner of the wolfskin tightly.

Her heart pounded, and she could hear the man's deep, powerful breaths.

Beneath his firm chest, she could even hear his rapid heartbeat.

"A... A Xing..."

Liu Muxue's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. Her delicate features were flushed with a captivating redness, making one want to bite down.

Cao Xing reached out and slowly stroked down her cheek...

Then all the way down.

Liu Muxue's body trembled, her muscles tensing.

However, amidst the tension, there was also a slight tingling and anticipation...

Rustle...

The sound of clothing being removed.

Liu Muxue bit her lower lip, her beautiful eyes flickering as she stared at the young man's back. Thinking about what was about to happen, her legs clamped together tightly in nervousness.

Cao Xing turned around and looked at the beauty on the bed.

Her snow-white skin had a shy, faint pink hue, and beneath her slender legs, her ten jade-like toes were tightly intertwined.

At this moment, she had completely exposed herself to Cao Xing.

As Cao Xing's face drew closer to Liu Muxue's, she felt her heart skip a beat.

Two hours later, the sounds in the room gradually subsided.

Liu Muxue, soft and boneless, with a hint of tears in the corner of her eyes and a look of satisfaction, lay in Cao Xing's arms.

They lay there quietly, neither of them knowing what they were thinking.

Just then, Liu Muxue suddenly asked.

"A Xing... will you leave me?"

"Sis... Muxue, why would you suddenly say something like that?" Cao Xing asked, confused.

Liu Muxue nestled in his arms and gently shook her head. "A Xing... I saw in the chat channel that many people have died these past two days..."

"Many families have been broken because of it, and children have lost their parents and loved ones."

"I'm so fortunate that I met you when I descended into this world."

"You're also the first person I've met who has treated me so well."

"So, I'm afraid you'll suddenly leave me one day..."

Listening to Liu Muxue's heartfelt confession.

Cao Xing gently patted her soft back. "What are you thinking? We're going to cooperate long-term and live in this world together."

"Muxue, you're very important to me..."

Liu Muxue's eyes welled up with tears upon hearing this.

"Mhm!"

She nodded solemnly.

A few seconds later, looking at the man before her, Liu Muxue's eyes gradually became hazy.

At this moment, Cao Xing kissed her.

Several minutes later, Liu Muxue panted, "A Xing... I can barely breathe..."

"A Xing..."

"A Xing..."

Her voice gradually faded, turning into soft whispers between lovers.
