It was obvious that Liu Muxue had also seen what was happening in the chat channel.
Cao Xing was momentarily stunned after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I understand."
In fact, Cao Xing did not take Fang Long's threat seriously.
From Cao Xing's understanding of these gangs, their means of dealing with him would simply be to find the camp and launch an attack against him.
Given that the current survivors were only at levels one or two, they found it difficult to even leave the camp, let alone trek dozens or even hundreds of kilometers to find trouble with Cao Xing.
Moreover, even if they really dared to come over, a single Elena and Frost Wolf Knight could carry out a one-sided massacre against them.
There would be no need for Cao Xing to summon the Icefield Druid.
Furthermore, he would soon build a [Beginner Elemental Arrow Tower], which would be a true killing machine! By then, not to mention a single Fang Long, even the entire Three Heroes would just be delivering food.
This was also the confidence that Cao Xing had, which made him fearless.
Seeing that Liu Muxue still looked a bit worried, Cao Xing comforted her, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about the safety of the camp."
Liu Muxue nodded slightly.
She gazed at Cao Xing, and it seemed that she could see a confident aura about him.
After a moment, Liu Muxue's pretty face flushed.
She softly said, "A Xing, it's already dark; we should rest..."
"Okay."
Cao Xing nodded and returned to his small wooden bed.
As night fell...
The stove in the room crackled, continuously emitting heat.
However, the cold wind outside continued to howl.
Even wrapped in wolf fur, he still felt waves of coldness on his skin.
"Hiss... why is it so cold tonight?"
Cao Xing crawled out from under the wolf fur and glanced at the temperature above him.
[Current Temperature -28°C]
Goodness, the indoor temperature was almost dropping to minus thirty degrees; no wonder it was so cold.
Cao Xing saw that Liu Muxue was slightly shivering on her small wooden bed.
"Sister-in-law, can you still hold on?" Cao Xing asked.
Liu Muxue gritted her teeth and replied, shivering, "I... I'm okay..."
Seeing this, Cao Xing knew she was just putting on a brave face.
So, he took out a large bear skin from his backpack and directly covered it over Liu Muxue.
One layer of wolf fur plus one layer of bear skin was enough to withstand the cold of the night.
Feeling the weight on her body, Liu Muxue's eyes showed gratitude.
"Th... thank you... A Xing..."
Cao Xing shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
He returned to his small wooden bed, wrapped in wolf fur, preparing to sleep.
At that moment, Liu Muxue softly said from behind, "A Xing... you gave me the bear skin, what about you?"
Cao Xing shook his head and said, "I have a stronger physique than you. I'll move the bed closer to the stove, and I'll be fine."
Hearing this, Liu Muxue suddenly said, "Um... A Xing, do you want to share this bear skin with me..."
"Huh?" Cao Xing turned around in confusion, only to see Liu Muxue covering half her face, seemingly hesitant to speak.
After a moment, as if summoning her courage, she said, "This bear skin is too big; it's a bit wasteful for just me to cover it..."
"If two people share it, the bed will be warmer..."
After Liu Muxue finished speaking, she buried her head in the quilt, feeling extremely shy.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing said, "Alright, then I'll move the small wooden bed over and merge the two beds together."
Soon, the two small wooden beds were combined into one big bed.
The heavy bear skin lay on top, making it feel like a large comforter.
Cao Xing wrapped himself in his wolf fur and crawled in.
Feeling the movement in the bedding, Liu Muxue's body trembled slightly.
She had her back to Cao Xing, looking very embarrassed.
Cao Xing didn't think much of it.
He just felt much warmer after getting into the quilt.
Time slowly passed during the night.
Cao Xing gradually fell asleep.
In the latter half of the night, Cao Xing suddenly felt a warm arm reach into his quilt.
Cao Xing was startled and woke up from his dream. He turned around and saw Liu Muxue, her face flushed, looking down so he couldn't see her expression.
"Sister-in-law?"
Liu Muxue shyly said, "Ah Xing... it's so cold...
