On the eve of death, I raised a boss

The two of them were so delicious.

"Great, there's something delicious tonight."

Liu Qingxin stared at the huge rabbit in Gu Qingchen's hand with great joy, and her mind had already begun to imagine it being roasted to a fragrant aroma, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Her eyes flashed with anticipation and excitement, as if the rabbit had become a delicious dish in front of her.

Gu Qingchen looked at Liu Qingxin's cute and mouth-watering appearance and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay. Let's find a place to spend the night nearby."

As he spoke, he picked up the rabbit and began to look for a suitable place to camp overnight near the forest.

Not long after, Gu Qingchen found a perfect spot.

The terrain here is flat, surrounded by lush trees, and there is a clear stream flowing through.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Gu Qingchen nodded with satisfaction and decided to camp here for the night.

…

As night fell, the stars twinkled and a bright moon hung high in the sky.

In a quiet forest, a bonfire burned brightly, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Gu Qingchen sat quietly by the bonfire. After using his spiritual power to hide this place, he reached out and gently picked up the Blood Sky Demon Sword beside him.

Looking at the rabbit meat beside him, Gu Qingchen quickly swung the Blood Sky Demon Sword and cut them one by one like flowing clouds and water.

Each cut was extremely precise, and the rabbit meat was cut into even slices.

Then, he slowly skewered the cut rabbit meat on the branches.

His movements were skillful and dexterous, and his eyes were focused, as if he was completing a work of art.

When all the rabbit meat was skewered, Gu Qingchen nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, Qingxin, let's put these rabbit skewers by the campfire and roast them for a while."

Gu Qingchen said to Liu Qingxin beside him with a smile.

Liu Qingxin smiled happily when she heard this. She carefully took the skewers from Gu Qingchen's hand and inserted them neatly next to the campfire.

Looking at the rows of tempting rabbit skewers, Liu Qingxin was full of expectations.

After Liu Qingxin inserted all the skewers, she turned her head and her eyes fell on Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen reached out and took out three herbs from the storage ring.

These herbs exuded a faint fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Liu Qingxin looked at Gu Qingchen's actions curiously. She didn't understand what he was going to do.

So, she walked to Gu Qingchen with light steps, wanting to find out.

Gu Qingchen put a herb in his hand, and a ball of red spiritual power surged on his palm.

This powerful spiritual power instantly wrapped up the herbs, and as Gu Qingchen's mind flowed, the herbs were easily crushed into powder by the spiritual power.

Suddenly, the crushed herbs in Gu Qingchen's hand exuded a fragrance that was even stronger than before.

Liu Qingxin, who was watching from the side, was immediately invaded by a fragrance in her nose, and couldn't help but ask Gu Qingchen curiously.

"Brother Qingchen, what is this? Why is it fragrant?"

"Oh, you mean this in my hand!"

"This is a spice, used to remove the fishy smell and enhance the fragrance of rabbit meat."

Gu Qingchen continued to reach out and pick up the other two herbs while explaining.

His movements were skillful and focused, as if this was a very common thing.

"Spice? Aren't herbs used to make medicine? Can they also be used as spices?"

Liu Qingxin widened her eyes and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Of course, spices made of herbs can not only increase the flavor of meat, but also add a unique taste to the meat. But you can't mix multiple herbs, otherwise the medicinal effects will conflict, and in serious cases, it may cause poisoning."

With the experience of a top alchemist given by the system, Gu Qingchen can easily distinguish which two herbs can be mixed together.

Gu Qingchen smiled and answered Liu Qingxin's doubts one by one, revealing a kind of confidence and professionalism in his tone.

As he said, Gu Qingchen turned around and evenly sprinkled the powder of the three herbs on the grilled rabbit meat.

In an instant, the originally tasteless rabbit meat exuded an intoxicating aroma, like a clear spring flowing through people's hearts, making people intoxicated.

Liu Qingxin's eyes were attracted, and she stared at the rabbit meat exuding an alluring aroma beside the campfire, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly, as if she couldn't wait to taste it.

Gu Qingchen naturally noticed the change in Liu Qingxin's expression. Looking at Liu Qingxin's drool that was about to flow out, he secretly laughed in his heart.

He picked up a golden and crispy skewer of meat and gently handed it to Liu Qingxin.

"Qingxin, take one and eat it first."

Gu Qingchen said gently, his eyes full of pampering and care.

"Brother Qingchen, what about you?"

"I'll wait until these skewers are grilled before eating them. You can eat them first. See how they taste?"

Liu Qingxin took the skewer of meat a little embarrassedly and took a bite carefully.

Suddenly, her taste buds were completely conquered.

The delicious meat, rich aroma and unique taste intertwined in her mouth, making her sigh that this was the best barbecue she had ever eaten in her life.

"Hmm... It's delicious!"

Liu Qingxin praised while chewing the delicious rabbit meat in her mouth.

Gu Qingchen was particularly happy to see Liu Qingxin eating so happily.

He continued to turn the rabbit meat on the campfire to ensure that each piece was grilled to perfection.

Then she handed the grilled skewers to Liu Qingxin, who was standing by, and took the fragrant skewers.

She raised her head and her eyes fell on Gu Qingchen's face full of gentle smiles, and a warm current surged in her heart.

Liu Qingxin did not finish all the skewers, but left a few and handed them to Gu Qingchen again.

"Brother Qingchen, you should eat together."

She said softly, with sincerity and understanding in her eyes.

Gu Qingchen looked at the skewers handed over, and his heart was moved.

He looked at Liu Qingxin's cute and considerate appearance, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Then I'd rather obey than be respectful."

Gu Qingchen replied with a smile, took the skewers handed over by Liu Qingxin, and began to eat.

The two sat around the campfire, sharing the delicious food together.

…

“Burp~!”

After eating the skewers, Liu Qingxin burped a lot. Her delicate little face was filled with a happy smile. Then, like a lazy kitten, she lay in Gu Qingchen’s broad and warm arms, quietly enjoying the tranquility and beauty.

Gu Qingchen gently stroked Liu Qingxin’s hair, and the two looked up at the starry sky together.

In this vast starry sky, it seemed that there were endless mysteries waiting for people to explore.

At this time, Liu Qingxin suddenly turned her head and whispered to Gu Qingchen beside her:

“Brother Qingchen, do you have any family?”

There was a hint of curiosity and concern in her eyes.

Gu Qingchen was slightly startled when he heard Liu Qingxin’s question. After a moment of silence, he began to recall his past life.

The pain and loneliness he had experienced surged into his heart, making his eyes a little deep.

After a while, Gu Qingchen slowly said:

"My family... they don't want me anymore. So, now I have no family..."

His voice was slightly sad, as if he was telling a distant story.

Liu Qingxin felt the pain in Gu Qingchen's heart, and she held his hand tightly, wanting to give him some comfort.

"Brother Qingchen, although your family has left you, you are not alone. Qingxin will always be by your side."

Her eyes were firm, warm, and full of love.

Gu Qingchen just smiled slightly, did not answer, and just said "um" softly.
