Chapter 61: Oh no, has this woman taken a liking to me?

Late night.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue embraced each other as they entered dreamland.

Outside, the cold wind howled, and goose-feather snowflakes danced in the air.

The bonfire at the center of the territory burned brightly, providing warmth to the entire territory.

Cao Xing’s subjects also returned to their small shelters, beginning their day’s rest.

However, there was still one building with lights on in the territory, the Sewing Shop.

The furnace inside the Sewing Shop crackled and sizzled.

Xia Yanni sat at the workbench, processing a piece of bear skin, while Tong Chuchu squatted beside her, watching her mother’s actions with curiosity.

“Chuchu, wait a little longer, tomorrow we’ll wear warm bear skin coats.”

Tong Chuchu rested her cheeks in her hands and nodded, saying, “Okay, Mom, Chuchu is not in a hurry.”

“Mom, Brother Cao Xing is really nice, he gave us food, a place to stay, and now he’s giving us clothes to wear.”

Xia Yanni tilted her head, glanced at Tong Chuchu, her eyes full of doting affection.

“Yes, Little Chuchu, we’re lucky to have met Lord Cao Xing. I saw on the chat channel that a warm coat was almost fought over.”

“So, we need to work well for Brother Cao Xing, understand?”

Tong Chuchu nodded heavily.

Xia Yanni refocused on her work in front of her.

At this moment, she seemed to remember something from the day before, her face blushing, and she quickly lowered her head…

…

The next day…

A system prompt appeared.

[Survivors, congratulations on surviving the fourth night of the Ice Seal Age.]

[Remaining time of the novice protection period: 1 day and 22 hours.]

[Weather forecast: The snowstorm has stopped, today is suitable for going out.]

Cao Xing was the first to wake up and immediately saw the beauty beside him.

Liu Muxue was still asleep, her long, warm legs resting on Cao Xing.

Her warm body gently twisted, seeming to sleep soundly.

Cao Xing gently patted her hair and said, “Muxue, it’s morning.”

Hearing this, Liu Muxue gradually woke up.

Her eyes were sleepy, “Mm… Axing, is it morning already?”

“Yes.”

Liu Muxue softly replied, “Slept so well last night, I don’t feel like getting up~”

Cao Xing smiled, “Let’s get up first, we still need to arrange work for the subjects, and today we need to explore outside the snowfields.”

Hearing this, Liu Muxue lightly nodded her head.

They each dressed and washed up quickly, then pushed open the Lord’s Hut.

At first glance, Cao Xing looked out at the white expanse beyond the territory.

The heavy snowfall overnight had adorned the world in a white cloak, with many things covered under thick layers of snow.

At the moment, the subjects were already waiting at the door of the hut.

Once they saw Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, they greeted them respectfully.

“Mighty Lord, may you be healthy!”

“Beautiful Lord’s Wife, may your beauty remain forever!”

When Liu Muxue heard the subjects had changed her title to Lord’s Wife, her face instantly turned red.

But she still softly replied, “Mm.”

Cao Xing smiled and then called out, “Dazhuang.”

With a simple and honest face, Dazhuang came over and said, “Lord, do you have any orders?”

Cao Xing nodded and said, “I have a batch of iron rails and mine carts. Lay them down to connect with the coal mine and speed up our extraction progress.”

Dazhuang was a bit stunned and then asked, “Lord, the distance to the coal mine is three to four hundred meters, do we have that much iron rail?”

Cao Xing smiled, “Of course.”

Dazhuang got excited immediately and said joyfully, “That’s great! If we have iron rails and mine carts, our mining efficiency can increase tenfold!”

“It will only take two days to completely mine that coal mine!”

Cao Xing nodded, “Very good, then take your men and do it. The iron rails and mine carts are in the storage box.”

“Understood, Lord!”

After saying this, Dazhuang trotted off with his men to lay the iron rails.

Then, Cao Xing looked towards the subjects, including Cao Yi.

“Cao Yi.”

The slightly older-looking Cao Yi stepped forward, saying, “Honorable Lord.”

Cao Xing nodded, “In the storage box, besides the iron rails, there is a batch of ores that need to be refined into metals.”

“This batch of ores is for you to handle, arrange for someone to process them.”

Cao Xing had in his possession, besides a substantial amount of iron ore, some copper ore and secret silver ore.

Of course, to refine secret silver, an advanced material, would require upgrading the Ore Processing Plant to level 3.

So for now, they could only process iron ore and sort coal.

Hearing this, Cao Yi respectfully said, “The Lord’s command is our mission.”

“We guarantee to complete the task!”

After saying this, Cao Yi also went off to work.

Cao Xing continued, “Then everyone else, follow the tasks I gave you yesterday and get to work.”

“Let us build a more prosperous territory together!”

All the subjects respectfully replied, “We are willing to exert our utmost efforts for the Lord!”

Then, the group gradually dispersed.

At this moment, Yilena came over, twisting her body, and said, “Lord, Yilena has something to report.”

Cao Xing nodded, “What is it?”

Yilena gazed at the distant snowfield and said, “Yesterday, a few Frost Goblins came to attack our territory, and after being shot down by the Arrow Tower, I followed their footprints.”

“About two kilometers away from the territory, I found a mine cave, and it seemed to be inhabited by many Frost Goblins.”

Hearing this, Cao Xing’s eyes lit up.

“A Frost Goblin lair? How strong are they?”

Yilena replied, “They’re all first and second-order creatures, slightly stronger than I am.”

Cao Xing nodded.

Yilena, having rested at home for a while, had leveled up twice, now reaching level 7.

But if she said those goblins were stronger than her, they must be at least level eight or nine.

However, for Cao Xing, those goblins posed no threat at all.

At this moment, Cao Xing took out a crimson crystal from his backpack and tossed it to Yilena.

Yilena caught it with both hands and looked at Cao Xing in confusion, “What is this…”

“It’s what I promised you, the Basic Power Heart. Once you reach level 10, you can use it to advance to a second-order creature.”

Upon hearing this, Yilena’s shoulders trembled.

Cao Xing had indeed mentioned this before, but Yilena didn’t expect he’d truly keep it in mind.

Her narrow snake eyes gazed at this man, a flicker of emotion that didn’t belong to a cold-blooded creature seemed to appear in her eyes.

“Thank you, dear Lord. The Snake-man Tribe’s Yilena is willing to give everything for you.”

A system prompt appeared.

[Territory member: Yilena has been moved by your actions, Loyalty has increased, current Loyalty 95.]

Cao Xing was surprised. Yilena had a Loyalty of 85 before, and he hadn’t expected it to jump this high.

At the same time, Cao Xing felt a fiery gaze behind him.

He turned around and saw Yilena flicking out her scarlet tongue, looking at him, her eyes full of a charming smile.

Cao Xing suddenly remembered the game’s mechanism.

The higher the Loyalty, the more the subjects trusted the Lord.

Once full, they’d take the Lord’s commands as more important than their own lives, like Assam.

With some special creatures, this loyalty could even transform into a special type of emotion.

“Oh no, could Yilena have taken a liking to me?”

Cao Xing was suddenly alarmed.

Luckily, Yilena only looked at him for a while before turning her gaze elsewhere.

Cao Xing let out a sigh of relief.

After calming his emotions, he turned to other members of the territory.

“Assam, Andrew, Sarah, come with me for a trip.”

Three powerful second-order creatures immediately came forward to Cao Xing.

Assam placed a hand on his chest respectfully, saying, “Always ready for your orders, honorable Lord!”

Cao Xing nodded.

However, before setting out, there was still one thing Cao Xing needed to do.

He first gave the Shield Counter Skill Book to Liu Muxue.

Then he began to concentrate on the skill: Frost Magic Shield.

Preparing to bestow it upon every recruited creature, including four robots and the giant mammoth.

Cao Xing raised his magic wand, and a cold air suddenly appeared and enveloped Assam.

A system prompt appeared.

[Successfully cast skill “Frost Magic Shield,” Talent “Eternal Power” has taken effect, the skill is now permanent.]

Meanwhile, Assam felt a thick ice shield forming around him.

This shield was like a transparent crystal, encircling him.

Moreover, the shield erupted with an astonishing cold aura every second.

Crack!

The Frost Breath erupted visibly.

Everyone around Assam felt frozen by the cold.

Fortunately, the shield could be activated or deactivated at will.

Assam exclaimed joyously, “Lord, this shield greatly enhances my combat ability, thank you for your blessing!”

Cao Xing laughed, very satisfied with the performance of the Frost Magic Shield.

“Very good.”

Cao Xing then looked at Yilena, “Imbue your two skills on our new partners.”

“And Muxue, your Courage Blessing can be applied to all of us.”

Yilena and Liu Muxue both nodded.

Then Yilena raised her spear, sending red energy beams to the mammoth and the four robots.

Liu Muxue stood in the center, holding a shield with one hand, and raising a longsword with the other.

The holy aurora gathered on her longsword once more.

Liu Muxue softly recited, “Courage is a power, a strength of the heart and soul, not in the value of steeds or weapons, but a manifestation of wisdom and bravery.”

“May the Light of Courage bless you!”

Buzz!

The sacred aurora enveloped everyone on the scene.

A system prompt appeared by Cao Xing’s ear.

[You have received the Courage Blessing effect from ally Liu Muxue, Magic Attack Power +18, Talent activated, the effect has become permanent…]
