Chapter 61 Oh no, this woman is not interested in me, is she?
late at night.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue fell asleep in each other's arms.

Outside, the wind was howling and heavy snow was falling.

The bonfire in the center of the territory was burning, providing heat for the entire territory.

Cao Xing's subjects also returned to their own small shelters and began a day's rest.

However, there was still a building in the territory with lights on, and that was the sewing shop.

The stove in the sewing shop was burning, making a crackling sound.

Xia Yanni sat in front of the workbench, processing the bear skin, while Tong Chuchu squatted beside her, watching her mother's actions curiously.

"Chu Chu, wait a little longer. We can wear warm bear fur coats tomorrow."

Tong Chuchu held her cheeks with both hands and nodded: "Okay, mom, Chuchu is not in a hurry."

"Mom, Brother Cao Xing is so kind. He gave us food, a place to live, and now he's even given us clothes to wear."

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

"Yes, little Chuchu, we are lucky to meet Lord Cao Xing. I saw in the chat channel that a winter coat is being snatched up like crazy."

"So, we have to do things well for Brother Cao Xing, understand?"

Tong Chuchu nodded heavily.

Xia Yanni turned her attention back to the work at hand.

At this moment, she seemed to remember what happened during the day, her pretty face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head...

...

...

The next day...

A system prompt appears.

[Survivors, congratulations on having survived the fourth night of the Ice Age. ]

[The remaining time of the novice protection period: 1 day 22 hours. ]

[Weather forecast: The snow has stopped, and today is a good day to go out. ]

Cao Xing woke up first, and saw the beauty next to him at a glance.

Liu Muxue was still asleep, her long, warm legs pressed against Cao Xing.

The warm body twisted slightly, and it seemed that it was sleeping soundly.

Cao Xing gently rubbed her hair and said, "Mu Xue, it's dawn."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue gradually woke up.

Her eyes were hazy. "Um... Ah Xing, is it dawn so soon?"

"Ah."

Liu Muxue said softly: "I slept so soundly last night that I didn't even want to get up~"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Let's get up first. We still have to arrange work for the people in our territory. We also have to go explore the snow today."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue nodded slightly.

The two of them put on their clothes, washed up briefly, and then pushed open the door of the lord's hut.

At first glance, Cao Xing looked at the vast expanse of white outside the territory.

A night of heavy snow made the sky and the earth covered in silver, and many things were covered under the thick snow.

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

After seeing Cao Xing and the other man, they greeted them respectfully.

"Mighty Lord, may you be in good health!"

"Beautiful lady, may your beauty remain forever!"

When Liu Muxue heard the people in the territory start calling her the Lord's Wife, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

But she still said "hmm" softly.

Cao Xing smiled and called out, "Da Zhuang."

Da Zhuang, who looked simple and honest, walked over and said, "My Lord, please give me your orders."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "I have a batch of rails and mine cars. You lay them and connect them to the coal mine to speed up our mining progress."

Da Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "My Lord, this place is three or four hundred meters away from the coal mine. Do we have so many railroad tracks?"

Cao Xing smiled, "Of course."

Da Zhuang suddenly became excited and said happily: "That's great! If we have rails and mine carts, our mining efficiency can be increased by more than ten times!"

"It only takes two days to mine all the coal!"

Cao Xing nodded. "Very good. Then you can take people to do it. The rails and mine carts are in the storage box."

"As you command, Lord Lord!"

After Da Zhuang finished speaking, he took his short legs and led people to lay the railroad tracks.

Then, Cao Xing looked at the leader Cao Yi and others.

"Cao Yi."

Cao Yi, who looked somewhat mature, came over and said, "Respected Lord."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "In addition to the rails, there is also a batch of ore in the storage box, which needs to be refined into metal."

"This batch of ore is given to you. You arrange for someone to handle it."

In addition to a large amount of iron ore, Cao Xing also has some copper ore and mithril ore.

Of course, in order to refine high-level materials such as mithril, the ore processing plant needs to be upgraded to level 3.

Therefore, now, we can only process iron ore and sort coal.

After hearing this, the chieftain said respectfully: "The lord's order is our mission."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

After saying that, Cao Yi also started to work.

Cao Xing continued: "Then everyone else, just follow the tasks I gave you yesterday."

"Let us build a more prosperous territory together!"

All the people in the territory immediately said respectfully: "We are willing to serve you with all our heart and soul, Lord!" Then, the group of people gradually dispersed.

At this moment, Ilena twisted her body, walked over and said, "My Lord, Ilena has something to report to you."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

Ilena stared at the snow in the distance. "Yesterday, several frost goblins came to attack our territory. After they were shot by the arrow tower, I followed their footprints to search for them."

"Two kilometers away from the territory, I found a mine. It seems that there are many frost goblins lurking in it."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The Frost Goblin's cave? How strong is it?"

Ilena replied, "They are all level one or two creatures, a little stronger than me."

Cao Xing nodded.

During this period of time, Ilena has leveled up two levels while lying at home, and now her level has reached level 7.

But she said that group of goblins were stronger than her, that is, they were at least level eight or nine.

However, to Cao Xing, these goblins posed no threat at all.

At this time, Cao Xing took out a bright red crystal from his backpack and threw it directly to Ilena.

Ilena took it with both hands and looked at Cao Xing in confusion, "This is..."

"I promise you, this is the Primary Power Heart. Once you reach level 10, you can use it to advance to a Level creature."

After hearing this, Ilena's shoulders trembled.

Cao Xing did say this, but Ilena didn't expect that he actually took it to heart.

The narrow, snake-like eyes stared at the man, and there seemed to be a trace of fluctuation in the eyes that did not belong to a cold-blooded animal.

"Thank you, dear lord. Ilena of the snake tribe is willing to give everything for you."

A system prompt appears.

[Territory member: Ilena has been moved by your behavior, her loyalty has increased, and the current loyalty is 95.]

Cao Xing was stunned. Ilena's loyalty was 85 before, but he didn't expect it to increase so much all of a sudden.

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

He turned around and just saw Ilena spitting out scarlet tongue, looking at him with a charming smile in her eyes.

Cao Xing suddenly remembered the mechanism of this game.

The higher the loyalty, the more the people under your command trust the lord.

Once the value is reached, they will be like Assam, considering the lord's orders more important than their own lives.

Some special creatures will even transform this loyalty into some special emotion.

"Oh no, Ilena won't fall in love with me, right?"

Cao Xing was suddenly startled.

Fortunately, Ilena only looked at him for a while and then looked away.

Cao Xing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He calmed down for a while and then looked at the other members of the territory.

"Assam, Andrew, Sarah, come out with me."

Three powerful second-level creatures came to Cao Xing one after another.

Asam beat his chest with one hand and said respectfully, "I am waiting for your instructions at any time, respected lord!"

Cao Xing nodded.

However, before leaving, Cao Xing still had one thing to do.

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

Then he began to concentrate his skills: [Frost Magic Shield].

Prepare to attach creatures to each recruit, including four robots and a giant mammoth.

Cao Xing raised his staff, and a cold air suddenly appeared and fell on Assam.

A system prompt appears.

[Skill [Frost Shield] was successfully cast, and the talent [Eternal Power] has taken effect. This skill has become permanent.]
At the same time, Assam felt that a thick ice shield suddenly appeared around him.

This shield is like a transparent ice crystal, surrounding the entire body.

Not only that, the shield would also emit an astonishing chill every second.

Click!

A visible burst of frost.

Everyone who was near Assam could feel the freezing feeling.

Fortunately, the shield can be turned off or on at any time.

Asam was pleasantly surprised and said, "My Lord, this shield can greatly enhance my combat capability. Thank you for your blessing!"

Cao Xing also laughed, and was very satisfied with the performance of [Frost Magic Shield].

"very good."

Cao Xing looked at Ilena next to him and said, "Use your two skills to bless our new partners."

"And Mu Xue, your blessing of courage can also be bestowed upon us all."

Yilena and Liu Muxue nodded together.

Then, Ilena was seen raising her spear, and beams of red energy hit the mammoth and the four robots.

Liu Muxue stood in the middle of the crowd, holding a shield in one hand and a sword high in the other.

The sacred aurora once again gathered on her sword.

Liu Muxue whispered: "Courage is a kind of power, the power of the mind and soul. This power does not exist in the value of war horses and weapons, but is the embodiment of wisdom and bravery."

"May the light of courage bless you!"

hum!
The sacred aurora enveloped everyone on the field.

A system prompt appeared in Cao Xing's ears.

[You are affected by the friendly unit: Liu Muxue's [Blessing of Courage], magic attack power +18, talent activated, this effect has become permanent...]
