After reading, Li Qingxuan explained his plan to Li Feifei, which included building sturdy city walls to resist potential threats and searching everywhere for more survivors to strengthen the team.

After hearing Li Qingxuan's explanation, Li Feifei's eyes lit up with excitement; she proposed recruiting only female survivors and firmly expressed her willingness to share part of Li Qingxuan's workload.

This suited Li Qingxuan's wishes; after a brief discussion, they decided to first return to Li Qingxuan's stone house before continuing their discussion.

Li Feifei organized supplies into her backpack, then used the Shelter Transfer Scroll to pack up the wooden house, and followed Li Qingxuan toward the Low Hill.

After traveling for over two hours, they returned along the original route, dodging when possible and detouring when not; despite some scares, they safely made it back to Li Qingxuan's stone house.

It was already evening, with an hour left until darkness; Li Qingxuan took Li Feifei for a walk around the shelter's vicinity, and they returned to the front of the stone house.

Li Feifei did not set down the wooden house; she directly followed Li Qingxuan into the stone house. Upon entering, Li Qingxuan led Li Feifei toward the eastern bedroom, saying, "This is your room; tidy up and then get ready to eat."

After Li Feifei finished tidying and left the bedroom, she saw bread and water placed on the table.

After an afternoon of contact, they became quite familiar; after finishing their meal, they sat around the campfire discussing the planning of the city's construction.

Li Feifei proposed that, since they were building city walls, they also needed to consider functional zoning of each area for future plans.

Li Qingxuan sent Li Feifei the information of the city wall blueprint, elaborating his concept in detail; after listening, Li Feifei offered many valuable suggestions and volunteered to take charge of trading supplies.

Witnessing Li Feifei's proactive attitude, Li Qingxuan felt a warm current rise in his heart; he knew that with her help, the progress of building the city walls would greatly improve.

They discussed until late at night; seeing that the discussion was nearly finished, Li Feifei returned to her room to rest first.

Li Feifei lay on the bed, lost in thought; from the moment she agreed to follow Li Qingxuan to the stone house, she knew she had already made her choice in her heart.

However, upon truly seeing Li Qingxuan, a ripple stirred in her heart.

After interacting with him, she realized he was not a lustful person, and the stone in her heart finally settled.

"Let's first get to know each other slowly; whatever happens later will take its natural course." With her thoughts sorted, Li Feifei stopped overthinking and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

As night fell, the forest sank into silence again, occasionally hearing the howls of weird creatures.

Li Qingxuan realized he could now dominate a weird creature, and not intending to rest, he prepared to use the night's cover to tame a weird creature as his helper.

Li Qingxuan's ideal target was the Yinhuai Tree, but considering his current Spirit value was insufficient, he decided to first tame a Whispering Ghost.

He cautiously stepped out of the stone house, his eyes scanning the darkness for prey.

The nighttime forest, though dark and silent, hid countless dangers.

After walking not long, on an open plain Li Qingxuan spotted a weird creature in the distance; its form turned out to be a Human-faced Spider. He had previously searched for it in vain, but never expected to run into it himself.

The Human-faced Spider, a creature with a bizarre visage and powerful soul force, Li Qingxuan felt no fondness for it; as soon as the monster saw him, it condensed arrows and shot them at him while swiftly closing in, wildly waving its many tentacles, attempting to overwhelm Li Qingxuan with numbers.

However, Li Qingxuan's movements were agile, like a forest breeze; each dodge was just right, causing the Human-faced Spider's attacks to repeatedly miss.

Li Qingxuan did not rush to kill it; instead, while repeatedly dodging the Human-faced Spider's attacks, he used his Tang Sword to carve wound after wound into its body.

The Human-faced Spider emitted a sharp hiss, as if calling for companions or venting anger.

Li Qingxuan's gaze was calm and sharp; he knew the battle could end at any moment, but, thinking of his plans, he did not deliver a killing blow.

After exchanging blows, Li Qingxuan felt the Human-faced Spider's attack speed had slowed considerably compared to their first encounter, so he continually increased his attack intensity.

Suddenly, his Tang Sword accelerated, its light like a dragon, slicing through the darkness; each strike precisely avoided the Human-faced Spider's vital points, and in an instant, blood sprayed from its body as the number of wounds surged.

Seeing itself continually injured yet unable to even touch a hair of its enemy, the Human-faced Spider abandoned attack, turned and fled, continuously shooting sticky spider silk while escaping to try to block Li Qingxuan's pursuit.

Li Qingxuan unfolded his form, like a fish entering the sea, easily dodging all the spider silk and staying close behind the Human-faced Spider.

After running for nearly an hour, he occasionally encountered other weird creatures disturbing him, all of which Li Qingxuan casually slew.

Finally, an underground cave appeared ahead; seeing it, the Human-faced Spider's face lit up with joy and it rushed toward the cave at greater speed.

Li Qingxuan quickly approached, easily beheading the Human-faced Spider, then swiftly moved close to the cave to survey its interior.

The cave mouth is about seven meters in diameter; the interior is roughly five meters high and wide. Looking from the entrance inward, the passage winds and twists, layered with giant spider webs blocking the way; gazing at the cave before him, Li Qingxuan knew this was their nest.

Li Qingxuan took out a torch, lit it, and stepped inside step by step, simultaneously setting fire to the spider webs along the way; after going some distance, the torch's light illuminated the front, revealing a horrifying sight.

Inside the cave ahead, Human-faced Spiders of various sizes either hung from the webs or crawled on the ground; over eighty pairs of eyes fixed on him, this outsider, making his scalp tingle.

These spiders were now staring at Li Qingxuan with that heart-pounding gaze, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

Yet Li Qingxuan showed no trace of fear; his gaze was calm and sharp, like a cold star plunging into the abyss, piercing straight at the prey's vital point.

He slowly raised his Tang Sword; the blade flashed with a cold light, as if it could cleave through all darkness and fear.

Li Qingxuan's body moved, like a phantom charging into the spider swarm; he waved his Tang Sword, its light like a silver dragon tearing through the air, occasionally firing Soul Arrows, each sweep taking away a Human-faced Spider.

The spider swarm seemed to sense danger and began frantically attacking Li Qingxuan; he was occasionally struck by Soul Arrows but gritted his teeth and endured, while his Tang Sword continuously swung, reaping the lives of the Human-faced Spiders.

The battle lasted over an hour, and Li Qingxuan finally killed all twenty-plus spiders.

He stood in the cave, looking at the spider corpses littering the ground; a flicker of satisfaction crossed his eyes, and were it not for his pallid complexion, he would truly resemble a youthful general sweeping away thousands of troops.
