486: Chapter 455: Except for You_2 486: Chapter 455: Except for You_2 Having said that, she handed over the self-heating rice meal to Lu Qingshuang and said, “Sis, this is for you to eat.

Don’t you dare pity this guy or give him this meal.

Just let him starve to death.”

Lu Chuan felt baffled, he had clearly not provoked this woman, yet he found himself subjected to a verbal barrage, as if curses were falling from the sky while sitting in the forest.

Lu Qingshuang glanced at Lu Chuan, couldn’t help but laugh, then took the self-heating rice meal handed over by Qi Ziwei and said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, you are a strong person, and strong people should get what they deserve, unlike certain losers who can only hide behind women and deserve to go hungry!” Qi Ziwei glanced at Lu Chuan and then turned to go back to her own tent.

Lu Qingshuang reached out and patted Lu Chuan’s head, laughing as she said, “Do you feel like a little brother being protected by big sis?

Are you hungry?

If you’re hungry, big sis will give you this meal.”

Lu Chuan was speechless and, after a moment’s thought, said, “Wait here.”

He then turned and headed deep into the forest, disappearing from sight.

Old Zhuk, seeing this, hurriedly shouted, “Come back, it’s already dark.

If you wander off alone and get lost, we can’t save you!”

Alas, Lu Chuan had already gone far and paid no heed to Old Zhuk’s cries.

Qi Ziwei snorted coldly, saying, “Forget about him, a guy with no real skill yet so full of himself, it serves him right if he dies in this barren wilderness!”

Old Zhuk sighed and said, “I’d like to help, but even after dark, I wouldn’t dare roam around here carelessly, let alone him.

If he really gets lost, he’ll just have to count it as bad luck.”

About fifteen minutes later.

Old Zhuk, who was worrying about whether or not to go look for Lu Chuan, suddenly heard footsteps.

He looked up quickly, and by the light of the bonfire, he saw a figure approaching, it was Lu Chuan!

And on his shoulder was a wild boar he had apparently killed, slowly walking toward them.

Everyone watched the man and pig with mouths agape, feeling that the scene was strangely eerie.

Qi Ziwei, her face full of shock, murmured, “This guy actually came back, and with a wild boar?

What’s he doing bringing a wild boar here?”

Lu Chuan put down the wild boar, then took out the Azure Flood Dragon Sword from the Demon Suppression Pagoda and began to clean the boar’s skin and innards.

Lu Qingshuang, seeing this, silently set aside her flavorful self-heating rice meal.

Lu Chuan finished dealing with the boar, then constructed a makeshift roasting stand, skewered the boar with sticks, placed it on the stand, and arranged the kindling underneath.

After that, he flicked his fingers, igniting the kindling, and began roasting the meat.

Since he had added a flame of Sun’s True Fire into the blaze and controlled the temperature to just the right degree, the boar meat didn’t roast as slowly as normal, and soon the aroma of the barbecued meat permeated the entire forest.

Not far away, Old Zhuk and the bodyguards, upon smelling this, couldn’t help but salivate.

Though they had all eaten self-heating rice meals, those were at best a stopgap, not tasty, and one portion was hardly enough, definitely not filling.

Now, with the mouthwatering scent of barbecued meat in the air, their stomachs started rumbling again.

Qi Ziwei, watching the roasting wild boar prepared by Lu Chuan, couldn’t help but salivate as well.

In the middle of the wilderness, no matter how good the self-heating rice meal’s ingredients were, they couldn’t compare to freshly roasted boar meat.

“Is this guy trying to prove he’s not a useless coward just because I insulted him?

Hmph, what an absurd man.

Even if you can hunt and cook, it won’t change the fact that you hide behind a woman, slurp…”

Before long, Lu Chuan had roasted the boar meat and said to Lu Qingshuang, “It’s ready to eat.”

Lu Qingshuang immediately ran over to tear off a large chunk of roasted meat and started eating happily.

Old Zhuk and a group of bodyguards were all salivating madly, clearly longing to taste the freshly roasted wild boar.

Qi Ziwei stared at Lu Qingshuang with eager eyes, obviously very keen to eat as well but was too proud to show it, trying hard not to let it show.

At that moment, Lu Chuan glanced at them and said with a smile, “There’s plenty of this wild boar meat, we two can’t finish it, come and join us.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces lit up with joy as they hurried over to tear off pieces of the wild boar meat and began to devour it hungrily.

Qi Ziwei also stood up from the ground, took small steps towards the roasted wild boar, and thought to herself that at least this guy knows how to share, so she might as well not call him a good-for-nothing this time.

At that moment, Lu Chuan pointed his finger at Qi Ziwei and said indifferently, “Except for you.”

Qi Ziwei was immediately stunned and shouted with clenched fists, “What do you mean!”

Lu Chuan said indifferently, “I’m just a good-for-nothing who can only hide behind a woman.

Would you really feel right eating meat made by a good-for-nothing?”

Qi Ziwei was furious although she really wanted to taste the roasted wild boar, Lu Chuan’s words made her very angry, so she shook her hand and said, “You think I’m dying to eat it!”

Then she turned around and returned to the bonfire in front of the tent, sat down, picked up a pack of compressed biscuits, and started biting into them viciously.

Lu Chuan, seeing her reaction, nodded in satisfaction, sliced off a piece of meat, and began eating slowly.

Old Zhuk and the rest of the bodyguards didn’t dare make a sound, fearing that Qi Ziwei wouldn’t let them eat either, so they all lowered their heads and ate their own meat, pretending not to see Qi Ziwei losing face.

Lu Qingshuang couldn’t help but smile at this scene and then walked over to Qi Ziwei with the leftover meat, offering it and saying, “Here you go, consider it a repayment for the self-heating rice you gave me.”

Qi Ziwei glanced at it, swallowed hard, then turned her head away and said, “I won’t eat it!”

Lu Qingshuang said, “It’s really delicious, if you don’t eat it, I’ll give it to someone else.”

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Ziwei couldn’t resist the temptation of the delicious food and quickly took the roasted meat, saying while eating, “I’m eating this only because of you, sister; otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t eat something made by that good-for-nothing!”

Lu Qingshuang smiled and said no more.

Lu Chuan, seeing this scene, also didn’t bother with it, as his intention was only to tease Qi Ziwei, not to actually get serious with a woman.

Qi Ziwei ate with grease smearing her mouth and said to Lu Qingshuang, “Sister, why do you have to follow such a good-for-nothing?

Why don’t you become my bodyguard instead?

I promise to pay you the highest salary!”

Lu Qingshuang smiled and said, “He’s my brother, isn’t it natural for me to follow him?

And he’s not a good-for-nothing.”

Qi Ziwei said, “I can’t see that at all.

Sister, you don’t have to speak up for him, that guy clearly isn’t up to par.”

Lu Qingshuang just shook her head helplessly and didn’t explain further.

For the next two days, the group continued on their journey.

Qi Ziwei still found Lu Chuan disagreeable, and Lu Chuan couldn’t bother with Qi Ziwei, so the group traveled in a rather odd atmosphere, finally arriving at the entrance of a valley.

Old Zhuk pointed excitedly at the gloomy and quiet valley ahead and shouted, “Ladies and gentlemen, here is the famous Worries Forgetting Valley!”

Qi Ziwei’s eyes widened as she looked ahead at the valley and murmured, “Once we enter this valley, we should be able to find the Worries Forgetting Plant, right?”

Then Lu Qingshuang approached Lu Chuan and whispered, “The Jade Pendant is reacting.”
