On the eve of death, I raised a boss

The prison warden was already scared out of his wits by Wu Kui's terrifying momentum.

After calming down a little, the prison warden asked in a trembling voice:

"So, sir, what should we do next?"

His eyes revealed deep fear and helplessness, and he had no idea how to deal with such a situation.

Wu Kui took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

His face was gloomy, his teeth were clenched, and he said in a deep voice:

"Quickly draw the appearance of the demon and the girl behind him! Then post a notice to hunt him down throughout the Tianwu Dynasty!"

"I want to see if this demon bug can really escape from my palm."

"Yes, sir. I'll do it right away."

After hearing this, the prison manager hurriedly retreated tremblingly, fearing that he would offend this moody lord.

If he slightly offended the lord next to the emperor, it might be that the whole family would be killed.

...

In the border of the Tianwu Dynasty, there is an extremely secluded town.

Gu Qingchen carried Liu Qingxin on his back and fled to a dilapidated temple around the town like a gust of wind.

After setting up the barrier, he gently put the girl on his back.

He stared at the direction he had just escaped from like a hawk, and carefully felt it to confirm that the old monster in the state of transformation was not chasing him.

‘Finally escaped, it was a close call, I almost stayed there…’

He sighed with relief, and the stone in his heart slowly fell to the ground.

Gu Qingchen turned around and looked at Liu Qingxin and asked with concern:

“Are you okay?”

Liu Qingxin, who was standing by, heard the concerned inquiry of the man in front of him, and answered timidly:

“I… am… okay.”

Looking at the timid Liu Qingxin beside him, his personality was very different from other lively and cheerful children. He must have been beaten a lot in prison.

Gu Qingchen felt a little sympathetic about the experience of the girl in front of him, but he still suppressed his emotions.

Take off the mask on his face and introduce himself to the girl in front of him with a smile:

“Your name is Liu Qingxin, right?”

Gu Qingchen pretended to ask, but the girl was still a little silent and did not answer. Gu Qingchen smiled and began to introduce.

"I am a friend of your parents. They asked me to help take care of you. When I received the letter, I found that you had been driven out of the village and imprisoned. Sorry for being late."

"And my name is Gu Qingchen. Gu means to take care of, Qing means green mountains and green waters, and Chen means dust flying. I am a cultivator who specializes in saving weak demons."

"If you don't mind, you can also call me Brother Qingchen."

As he said this, he took out a few clean clothes from the storage ring and handed them to Liu Qingxin.

"You are wearing too ugly. Let me give you my clothes first."

Liu Qingxin looked at the clean and tidy clothes in her hand, and then looked at the man with a bright smile in front of her, and her heart couldn't help but warm.

She couldn't help but think back to the past, when her father also held new clothes in front of her and said happily:

"My dear daughter, look, this is specially knitted by your mother for you. You will look good in it. Put it on and let your father take a good look at it..."

"I'm sorry. Qingxin... your parents can't stay with you properly..."

"Ahem~Ahem... without our care... you have to live well..."

...

Come back to your senses.

Liu Qingxin realized that her eyes, which had been red and swollen from crying, were like a flood that broke through the dam, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Gu Qingchen, who was standing by, saw Liu Qingxin suddenly crying and didn't know how to comfort her.

After all, in his previous life, he was just a single dog who had been single for more than 20 years. He had never held a girl's hand, let alone how to comfort a girl.

Gu Qingchen had no choice but to stretch out his arms and hug her tightly in his arms. Perhaps doing so could give her some warmth?

Feeling the slightly trembling body and the low sobbing of the person in his arms.

I don't know how long it took.

The girl in his arms gradually stopped crying and whispered in Gu Qingchen's ear:

"Well... my family is all dead."

The girl's voice was so soft that it seemed that it could be blown away by a gust of wind, but it hit Gu Qingchen's heart hard.

It turned out that this girl thought that she had no one to rely on, and wanted to seek a little warmth and support from him.

Looking at her tearful and lovable appearance, Gu Qingchen couldn't help but feel a desire to protect her.

Recalling his past life, when he was seven years old, his family was broken and his parents divorced.

The young me was assigned to my mother. I thought I could find comfort in her warm embrace, but the reality came like a cold tide.

My mother was financially constrained, and the burden of life made her unable to bear the responsibility of raising me.

In desperation, I could only be sent to that strange and indifferent orphanage.

At the moment of parting, my mother hugged me tightly, and tears blurred our eyes.

She said to me softly: "Qingchen, you must wait for me here obediently. When I make money, I will definitely come to take you home..."

At that time, I was innocent, believed in my mother's promise, and was full of expectations for the future.

During the days in the orphanage, loneliness and helplessness followed me like a shadow.

I suffered from bullying and ridicule from other children, and they hurt my heart with malicious words.

Every time I heard my classmates' mocking words, my fragile heart felt like it was cut by a knife.

But at that time I still chose silence and patience, because I firmly believed that my mother would come to pick me up, and it was also my only hope.

At school, I also suffered the sarcasm of my classmates. Their eyes revealed contempt and disdain, as if I was a different alien.

However, I still told them firmly: "No, my mother said that she would come back to pick me up..."

I used the last bit of stubbornness to guard my mother's promise, even though it might be just an illusory bubble.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, I ushered in my 18th birthday.

This day should have been a joyous moment to celebrate adulthood, but for me, it was the end of an endless painful wait.

My mother's figure never appeared in front of me, and her promise turned into a bubble.

At that moment, I painfully realized that I was ruthlessly abandoned by my mother after all.

The expectations and beliefs I once had collapsed in an instant, leaving only deep pain and despair.

In the dark corner, crying alone, tears soaked clothes.

Why did my mother abandon me so cruelly? Am I really not worthy of being loved? These questions lingered in my heart, but I could not find the answers.

Perhaps, this is the cruel truth of life. Some people are destined to endure more suffering and loss.

After thinking about it, he gently patted Liu Qingxin's back and replied softly:

"Don't cry, don't cry. Since there is no family, I am willing to be your family."

"If you are willing, you can treat me as your brother."

Liu Qingxin raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of expectation and uncertainty.

"Are you really willing to be my family?"

Gu Qingchen nodded vigorously and said solemnly:

"Of course, my brother will always protect my sister. If anyone dares to bully you, I will definitely help you."

Hearing this, Liu Qingxin's face showed a smile. Although there were still traces of tears, it made people feel extremely relieved.

From now on, Liu Qingxin is also someone who has a brother to protect her...

[Liu Qingxin's favorability towards the host +40]

I heard that the system's favorability has increased more this time than the previous two times.

[Rewarded skills: Burning Heaven Demon Lotus Art (Emperor Grade Middle Grade)]

...

Gu Qingchen didn't pay attention to the system prompt sound.

Looking at the little girl in front of him who had experienced the death of her parents and was arrested and tortured in prison, so many tragedies happened to her.

Now she is just like herself at the beginning, very fragile and helpless.

Although I approached her with a purpose, since I promised to be her brother, I must protect her well and give her a warm childhood.

…

After a long time.

After Liu Qingxin changed her clothes, she appeared in front of Gu Qingchen like a lotus flower emerging from the water.

Although the clothes didn't fit her, she looked much more beautiful than before, like Cinderella wearing crystal shoes.

Liu Qingxin looked at Gu Qingchen shyly and asked softly:

"Brother, do you think I look good in this?"

Her voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, melodious and moving.

"Well, it looks good!"

Gu Qingchen praised sincerely. Although Liu Qingxin was a little thin, she had good conditions.

If she wore clothes that fit her and matched her beautiful face, she would be better than Lan Xing.

The internet celebrities above are much more beautiful.

Gu Qingchen looked up at the sky, the dusk was getting darker, like ink staining rice paper.

At this moment, Liu Qingxin's stomach was also rumbling with hunger.

He himself was a cultivator and did not need to eat, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his physical strength.

However, Liu Qingxin was already starving before he started practicing.

"Here, there are only so many foods left on me, you can take them to fill your stomach for now."

After saying that, Gu Qingchen smiled and gently took out a crystal clear spiritual fruit with an attractive aroma from the ring, and handed it to Liu Qingxin.

Liu Qingxin looked at the spiritual fruit in front of her and couldn't help salivating. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, shyly reached out to take the spiritual fruit, and then took a bite without hesitation.

Suddenly, a stream of sweet juice slid down her throat into her stomach.

After Liu Qingxin tasted the spiritual fruit, although her stomach was not yet full, an expression of happiness and satisfaction appeared on her face.
