After Lu Chen, Li Qingcheng, and Xue Feng had had enough wine and food, they sat around and began to discuss follow-up matters.

Because of the cold weather, a bonfire was lit in the tent.

"Ms. Li, our process has been very smooth so far."

"If nothing else happens, we will probably reach the edge of the oasis tomorrow afternoon."

"But it's worth mentioning that sandstorms are common there, so we still have to be more careful."

Xue Feng pointed to the map on the table and briefly explained the situation.

"Well, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Captain Xue. You can go and rest first." Li Qingcheng nodded as a response.

"Miss Li, good night."

Xue Feng nodded slightly, then glanced at Lu Chen who stayed in the tent. Although he was unwilling to do so, he could only say goodbye and leave.

"Lu Chen, you can sleep here tonight, the floor has been prepared for you." Li Qingcheng said suddenly while drinking tea.

"Ah?" Lu Chen was startled: "Isn't it appropriate for a man and a woman to live together in the same room?"

"What's inappropriate? I won't eat you."

Li Qingcheng rolled his eyes: "Besides, you are my personal bodyguard, so of course you have to protect me at all times. I am a weak woman, what if I encounter danger at night?"

"Weak woman?"

Lu Chen's mouth twitched and he was speechless for a moment.

Although Li Qingcheng looks weak, she is actually a female master, and she is also proficient in various magic arts.

Not to mention ordinary warriors, even a master-level powerhouse like Desert Dragon Qiao Yi is probably no match for him.

"Okay, don't worry about it, go to bed quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow."

Without waiting for Lu Chen to respond, Li Qingcheng took off his coat, revealing his graceful figure, then quickly shrank into his sleeping bag and began to close his eyes to rest.

Lu Chen had no choice but to make do with it for one night. JrNovels.com
