Chapter 22 - 22 22 The Cold Wind Like a Knife, the Night Sky Like Fire

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: The Cold Wind Like a Knife, the Night Sky Like Fire Chapter 22: Chapter 22: The Cold Wind Like a Knife, the Night Sky Like Fire Clearly, Liu Muxue had also seen the conversation in the chat channel.

Cao Xing was startled at first, but then he nodded and said, “Okay, Saozi, I understand.”

In fact, Cao Xing didn’t take Fang Long’s threat to heart.

Based on his understanding of these gangs, the only thing they could possibly do to him was to find his camp and then launch an attack on him.

Given that all the Survivors were only at Basic Level one or two, they struggled even to leave their own camps, let alone traverse tens or even hundreds of kilometers to cause trouble for Cao Xing.

Moreover, if they really dared to come.

By that time, just Yilena and a Frost Wolf Knight would be enough to conduct a unilateral slaughter.

There wouldn’t even be a need for him to summon an Ice Plain Druid.

...

And next, he would also build a “Basic Level Elemental Arrow Tower,” which would be a true killing machine!

At that moment, not just Fang Long, but even if the entire Three Heroes Association came together, they’d just be delivering themselves to their demise.

And this was the source of Cao Xing’s confidence and fearlessness.

Seeing that Liu Muxue was still somewhat worried, Cao Xing reassured her, “Saozi, don’t worry, the safety of the camp is not a concern.”

Liu Muxue nodded lightly.

Her gaze fixed on Cao Xing, Liu Muxue seemed to see a confident aura emanating from him.

ƝօνǤο.сο

After a moment, Liu Muxue’s pretty face blushed.

She said softly, “Axing, it’s already dark, time to rest…”

“Okay.”

Cao Xing nodded, then returned to his Wood Bed.

The night fell…

In the room, the stove crackled as it continued to radiate heat.

However, the cold wind outside kept howling relentlessly.

Even wrapped in Wolf Skin, one could still feel waves of chill reaching the surface of the body.

“Hiss… Why is it so cold tonight?”

Cao Xing crawled out from the Wolf Skin, then glanced at the temperature overhead.

[Current Temperature -28°C]

Good grief, the indoor temperature was nearly down to minus thirty degrees Celsius, no wonder it’s so cold.

Cao Xing saw that on her Wood Bed, Liu Muxue’s body was shivering slightly.

“Saozi, can you hold on?” Cao Xing asked.

With her teeth clenched, Liu Muxue replied shivering, “I’m… I’m okay…”

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

So, he took out a large Bear Skin from his backpack and laid it directly over Liu Muxue.

A layer of Wolf Skin plus a layer of Bear Skin was enough to resist the chill of the night.

Feeling the weight on her body, Liu Muxue had a grateful look in her eyes.

“Than… thank you… Axing…”

Cao Xing shook his head, “It’s nothing.”

He returned to his Wood Bed, wrapped himself in Wolf Skin, and prepared to sleep.

Just then, Liu Muxue said softly from behind, “Axing… you gave me the Bear Skin, what about you?”

Cao Xing shook his head, “I have a stronger constitution than you, I’ll move the bed closer to the stove in a while, and I’ll be fine.”

Hearing this, Liu Muxue suddenly said, “That… Axing, would you like to share this Bear Skin with me…”

“Hmm?” Cao Xing turned, puzzled,

but saw that Liu Muxue was covering half of her face, seeming somewhat embarrassed to speak.

After a moment, as if mustering up courage, she said, “This Bear Skin is too big, it’s a bit wasteful just for me alone…”

“If two people share it, the bed would be even warmer…”

After speaking, Liu Muxue buried her head in the blanket, blushing with shame.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said, “That’s fine, then.

I’ll move my Wood Bed over, and we can combine the two beds.”

Quickly, the two Wood Beds were combined into one large bed.

The heavy Bear Skin laid on top, hardly different from one big blanket.

Wrapped in his own Wolf Skin, Cao Xing also climbed in.

Feeling the movement inside the blanket, Liu Muxue’s body trembled slightly.

She kept her back to Cao Xing, appearing extremely embarrassed.

Cao Xing didn’t think too much.

He just felt indeed much warmer after getting into the blanket.

The night slowly passed by.

Cao Xing gradually fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Cao Xing suddenly felt a warm arm slip into his blanket.

Cao Xing was startled and woke up from his slumber.

He turned over and saw Liu Muxue, her face flushed with shyness, her head lowered so her features were not clear.

“Saozi?”

Liu Muxue said timidly, “Axing…

I’m so cold…

I want you to hold me as we sleep…”

“Is that okay?”

At that moment, a flash of realization swept through Cao Xing’s mind, and he understood what Liu Muxue meant.

He turned over and took Liu Muxue into his arms, pressing her beneath him.

“Mmm…”

Liu Muxue didn’t seem to expect Cao Xing to make such a bold move so suddenly and let out a soft moan.

Then she felt the heavy breathing of the man on her face.

Liu Muxue’s delicate body trembled, and she instinctively gripped the corner of the Wolf Skin tightly.

Her heart pounded in her chest, and she could smell the heavy, powerful breath of the man.

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

“A…

Axing…”

Liu Muxue’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s, her exquisite features tinged with an alluring redness that almost begged to be bitten.

Cao Xing stretched out his hand and slowly caressed down from her cheek…

And continued downward.

At that moment, Liu Muxue’s body shivered, her muscles tensed.

But amidst the nervousness, there was also a slight tingling sensation and an anticipation…

The rustling sound of clothes being shed.

Liu Muxue bit her lower lip, her beautiful eyes flickering as she stared at the youth’s silhouette, the thought of what was to come making her legs instinctively close tightly together.

Cao Xing turned around and looked at the beauty on the Wood Bed.

Her snow-white skin showed a shy and pale blush, her long legs beneath her were ten jade toes locked together.

At this moment, she was completely exposed in front of Cao Xing.

As Cao Xing’s face drew near Liu Muxue’s, she felt her heartbeat slow by half a beat.

…

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

Liu Muxue was tender and limp, a tear at the corner of her eye, and a look of satisfaction as she lay in Cao Xing’s arms.

The two lay there quietly, their thoughts unknown.

It was then that Liu Muxue suddenly asked,

“Axing…

will you ever abandon me?”

“Sao…

Muxue, why would you suddenly say such a thing?” asked Cao Xing, puzzled.

Liu Muxue snuggled into his embrace and softly shook her head, “Axing…

I saw in the chat channel that many people have died these past two days…”

“Many families have been shattered, children losing their parents and relatives.”

“I’m very grateful to have met you when I arrived in this world.”

“You’re also the first person who has been so kind to me.”

“So, I’m afraid that one day you might suddenly not want me anymore…”

Listening to Liu Muxue’s heartfelt words,

Cao Xing gently patted her soft back, “What are you thinking about?

From now on, we’re going to be working together for a long time, surviving in this world.”

“Muxue, you’re very important to me…”

After hearing this, Liu Muxue’s eyes moistened.

“Mmm!”

She nodded earnestly.

A few seconds later, looking at the man before her, Liu Muxue’s eyes gradually clouded with a misty haze.

At that point, Cao Xing kissed her.

Minutes later, Liu Muxue gasped, “Axing…

I can hardly breathe…”

“Axing…”

“Axing…”

Her voice faded away, turning into whispers amid their lovemaking.
