When he initially brought Xia Yanni into the territory, it was in the manner of bringing subjects, with no other permissions.

In the entire territory, it was still his word that counted.

But the team led by Qiu Yating was more challenging, without a significant presence to keep everything in check, everyone was at odds.

It was certainly filled with a lot of scheming, just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

As they talked, Qiu Yating tentatively said.

“Cao Xing, I know my asking price is a bit high…”

“How about… you name a price?”

Cao Xing thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t have much meat left, I can give you 20 pieces, 100 units of other food, five sets of warm clothing, and five pieces of green-quality equipment.”

The news about the Ice Phoenix Flower was still significant to Cao Xing.

Thus, giving these things was worth it.

Moreover, with Cao Xing’s resource reserves, these were just a drop in the ocean.

After a moment of thought, the other side replied, “That works… but aside from that, I have another request.”

Cao Xing asked, “What request?”

Qiu Yating said, “It’s just… when you go to that place, can you take me and my team? I have a task to complete there.”

Cao Xing asked, “You don’t need me to help you complete the task, do you?”

“I don’t want to work for you again and still have to give you supplies.”

It was clear that this woman was quite clever.

Qiu Yating quickly said, “No need, I just need you to take me into that place, we will handle the rest of the task process ourselves.”

Cao Xing thought for a moment and replied, “Alright, deal.”

“However, I need you to tell me the information first, then I’ll give you the supplies.”

Although, Cao Xing was not afraid of this woman scamming his supplies.

After all, everyone was in the Gale Snow Plain area, if she really dared to deceive him, Cao Xing would have plenty of opportunities to deal with her later.

Qiu Yating laughed and said, “That’s only natural.”

Then she straightforwardly said, “The place where the Ice Phoenix Flower grows is called the Witch Forest.”

“Rumor has it, there are many high-level demon beasts lurking inside, along with a group of powerful tree spirits that prevent outsiders from entering the forest.”

Witch Forest…

Upon hearing this name, Cao Xing thought for a moment but hadn’t heard of this place before.

So, he continued to ask, “What are the exact coordinates?”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yating promptly sent the coordinates.

Cao Xing opened the map and glanced at it, roughly 200 kilometers from his camp.

Then nodded and said, “Alright, I know now.”

“You go to the market and auction off something, mark the price, and I’ll buy it.”

“Okay, okay.”

Qiu Yating obediently did so, putting a piece of food up for auction in the market.

Then, Cao Xing traded the 20 pieces of Snowy Blizzard Bear meat, along with 100 pieces of dry bread, and five rabbit fur coats to Qiu Yating.

Both sides completed a transaction.

Cao Xing speculated in his mind, “Good, now I have the alchemy workshop blueprints, and the clue to the Ice Phoenix Flower.”

“I’m one step closer to mass-producing an improved version of the Life Secret Medicine!”

“However, this location might not be 100% accurate and needs to be verified once more.”

At this time, Qiu Yating sent a message, saying, “Thank you, Cao Xing.”

“You’re welcome, just fulfilling our respective needs.”

Qiu Yating continued to ask, “Cao Xing, may I ask when you plan to depart?”

She seemed a bit anxious, likely because the task was very important to her.

Cao Xing replied, “I don’t know, maybe tomorrow, or the day after, I’ll call you when I’m about to leave.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yating responded, “Alright then…”

She felt somewhat helpless, but she also knew that Cao Xing was the one in control.

After hanging up the private chat with Qiu Yating, Cao Xing thought for a moment; he wasn’t quick to trust Qiu Yating’s words.

In case the coordinates were a trap, like when he tricked Fang Long, that would be quite a laugh.

Therefore, Cao Xing decided to send someone tomorrow to scout ahead, ensuring safety before proceeding.

Then, he directly clicked to learn the newly acquired blueprints.

Several system prompts appeared in succession.

[Successfully learned: Light Combat Drone manufacturing blueprints.]

[Successfully learned: Basic Alchemy Workshop construction blueprints.]

[Successfully…]

Then, Cao Xing found Du An, the Polar Person, and asked him to take some time tomorrow to build the Basic Alchemy Workshop.

As for Juliette, Cao Xing also gave specific instructions to plant the Spirit Breath Grass as soon as possible.

Everything was ready.

Meanwhile, Dahua and her team had already prepared tonight’s dinner.

The entire territory of more than a hundred people swarmed into the cafeteria.

Because Cao Xing specifically instructed today to use Cloud Yak milk to prepare their dinner.

So, everyone seemed particularly eager.

In the cafeteria, there was a rich aroma of milk mixed with the fragrance of meat, causing people’s mouths to water uncontrollably.

The entire territory of more than a hundred people once again enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

Blom, who had sobered up, was leading a few Imperial Soldiers and two Centaurs in loud chatter.

Occasionally, they even broke into song.

Their voices made the cafeteria seem noisy.

Though chaotic, it was filled with the essence of life.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue exchanged smiles, both feeling a sense of warmth.

Then, a series of loyalty increases appeared.

The vast majority of subjects in the territory increased by 2–3 loyalty points.

Cao Xing pondered, “The longer these subjects stay in the territory, the more they develop a sense of belonging here.”

“As long as they aren’t excessively mistreated or exploited, bringing everyone’s loyalty up above 90 would be quite easy.”

However, for some subjects with loyalty above 90, it became more challenging to increase.

Just like Sarah and Andrew, only by providing them with what they needed or helping them achieve their desires could their loyalty be further improved.

Of course, loyalty of 90 was already quite good.

…

…

Night fell.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue returned to their Lord’s Hut to rest for the night.

Inside the Lord’s Hut, it was very warm, with waves of heat wafting through.

Cao Xing glanced at the temperature overhead.

[Current temperature: 21°C]

“Oh? It actually broke 20?”

Cao Xing’s face showed delight.

The indoor temperature was really comfortable.

Even on a Blue Star, wearing only light clothing wouldn’t feel cold.

In addition, the interior decor of the Lord’s Hut also became more luxurious.

In the center was a throne inlaid with gemstones, glittering brightly.

On each side were gold-plated candlesticks, flickering with bright candlelight.

The ceiling adorned with glazed glass pendant lamps appeared very grand.

The level of luxury in such decoration was comparable to some top-notch domestic inns.

At this moment, Liu Muxue was gently bending over, boiling hot water over the stove.

Inside the room, Liu Muxue wasn’t wearing as thickly as outside, dressed in a white satin dress.

This outfit was made by Xia Yanni using fabric provided by Cao Xing.

It was said that Liu Muxue specifically visited Xia Yanni to get measured, making the dress look very fitting.

Her round, tight hips facing Cao Xing, coupled with her slender long legs, were eye-catching.

After the water was boiled, Liu Muxue turned to meet Cao Xing’s gaze.

She shyly lowered her head…

Then, she entered the compartment, undressed, and began to wash up.

The sounds of splashing water incessantly evoked imaginations.

Cao Xing suddenly remembered that he obtained a [Magic Power Water Storage Device blueprint] today, which could potentially be built inside the room.

He then checked the attributes…
