The two walked side by side, with the First Snow leading the way.
Perhaps wanting to spend a little more time with Lin Qiubai, she deliberately chose the longest route.
What could originally be reached in ten minutes now took half an hour.
However, Lin Qiubai was preoccupied with his thoughts and remained silent, mechanically walking alongside Lin Chuxue.
It wasn't that he lacked charm; he was genuinely troubled.
Cultivation was already an extremely resource-intensive endeavor.
After acquiring the Demon Wugui, his burden for cultivation had increased several times over. Not only did he need to gather resources for his own cultivation, but he also had to nurture the Demon Wugui.
Despite its terrifying potential, the Demon Wugui was also a bottomless pit. Without a massive amount of resources, it couldn't advance, and without advancement, it would be difficult for Lin Qiubai to rely on it as a trump card.
Thus, every time Lin Qiubai thought about it, he felt a headache coming on.
He remained silent, while Lin Chuxue, with her delicate skin, also dared not speak. She bit her red lips tightly and cautiously leaned closer to Lin Qiubai's shoulder, occasionally tilting her slightly charming face up to glance at him with bright eyes that swept across his profile.
That profile had a magical allure that made her heart race...
Suddenly, Lin Qiubai smiled.
Seeing this, Lin Chuxue's alluring lips curled into a charming arc as well. She gently pressed her red lips together, stunning like a beautiful spring day.
"We're not going to the cafeteria today. I'll take you somewhere better to eat."
Lin Qiubai turned around and happened to see Lin Chuxue's slightly silly and sweet smile. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat.
What a beautiful girl...
It was still not the right time to pick flowers, but Lin Chuxue, who was just about to bloom, was already quite pleasing to the eye, like a lotus emerging from the water, creating ripples in Lin Qiubai's heart.
"What are we eating?"
Lin Chuxue lightly pressed her red lips together; this was their first conversation, and her heart felt sweet.
"That's a secret. After you go to the cafeteria and get some oil, salt, vinegar, ginger, and scallions, I'll tell you. Hurry up and go; I’ll be waiting for you."
His voice was gentle, as if it could melt Lin Chuxue's budding feelings.
After saying that, Lin Qiubai eagerly dashed toward the small grove; he had just seen a plump wild rabbit moving around there.
The wild rabbits in this world were not ordinary.
That rabbit fed on fragrant grass rich in Vital Energy and was nourished by mysterious Vital Energy, making its taste several times more delicious than the wild animals in Earth's primitive forests.
If that's the case, why not catch it for a meal!
Lin Qiubai moved swiftly, darting through the small grove, causing chaos among the creatures inside. The plump chicks that were foraging took to the air with flapping wings, clucking loudly.
"Call again and I'll shoot you down."
Lin Qiubai threatened fiercely, shaking his hand as the thirty-pound fat wild rabbit hung in the air, its face filled with despair.
A flash of cold light from the Silver-Decorated Blade, and the previously lively rabbit was dead.
"Let's gather some other seasonings."
With keen eyes and quick hands, Lin Qiubai found several wild spices, including small red berries that had a hint of spiciness.
They resembled chili peppers, bright red and vivid. Lin Qiubai ate one raw, causing beads of sweat to form on his forehead from the heat.
Estimating that Lin Chuxue had gone to the Dining Hall to fetch ingredients and would take some time to return, Lin Qiubai began to gut the rabbit by a small stream behind the mountain.
The stream was crystal clear and cold, with sweet water that was pure mountain spring—perfect for brewing wine. Using it to clean the rabbit felt like wasting a good resource.
Gutting the rabbit required a special technique: he circled around its neck with a cut, then blew air into the gap to separate the skin from the meat. With a gentle flip, he could easily peel it off—simple yet effective.
After a few breaths, the dense, shiny rabbit skin was tossed aside by Lin Qiubai at the edge of the stream.
As for the thick layer of fat covering the rabbit meat, it was thoroughly cleaned by Lin Qiubai and laid out on broad green leaves he had picked from the water.
Once all the main ingredients were cleaned and organized, Lin Qiubai found a sturdy rock and used the Silver-Decorated Blade, which could cut iron like mud, to carve out a thin stone slab. He then washed it clean of dirt.
Next, he started a fire and set up the stone slab over it until it glowed red hot. Afterward, he cut off a chunk of fatty rabbit meat and began to sear it on the stone slab.
This is called "Run Guo," with a special aroma and sizzling oil seeping into the stone slab. The originally pale stone plate turns golden, resembling crispy golden fried lamb, greatly enhancing one's appetite.
"Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
As Lin Qiubai was mumbling, Lin Chuxue's graceful figure appeared in the distance, holding a pristine white porcelain plate. Lin Qiubai hurried over to assist her.
The plate contained only salt; there was no way there would be any MSG or chicken essence.
In this world, the ingredients themselves have exceptional flavors. Moreover, for martial artists, the primary purpose of eating is to absorb the Vital Energy from the ingredients rather than to indulge in sensory enjoyment. Therefore, there isn't much research on seasonings, and the variety of dishes is quite limited.
After all, this is a different time and space; having salt is already quite good. As for other seasonings, if available, that's great; if not, it doesn't matter much.
"Please sit on the stone for a moment while I prepare the food."
With that, Lin Qiubai's expression turned serious as he squatted in front of the wild rabbit. The Silver-Decorated Blade danced swiftly, slicing an entire rabbit into hundreds of thin, translucent meat slices. With a gentle pull, the slices did not tear apart, showcasing the strength of its muscle. Such quality would surely provide an excellent texture.
Lin Qiubai was filled with anticipation.
"Sizzle..."
As the stone slab glistened with oil rendered from the fatty meat, pieces of rabbit meat were placed on it, instantly releasing an appetizing aroma that made one's fingers itch. The thin rabbit meat slightly shrank from the heat, gradually turning into an enticing golden color...
Excess oil overflowed from the edge of the stone slab; the scene was too beautiful. First Snow couldn't help but blush because she found it hard to maintain her composure and swallowed hard.
Sprinkling salt evenly and adding a sprinkle of crushed chili flakes elevated the visual appeal of the entire rabbit dish even further.
Silver-Decorated Blade With a swift motion, Lin Qiubai flipped several pieces of rabbit meat, applying his culinary skills to the other side.
Lin Chuxue secretly watched Lin Qiubai, who was focused and busy, her heart gradually racing as if her little Heart was being grilled on the stone slab by Lin Qiubai, beating rapidly.
The sizzling sound was continuous, and the rich aroma slowly spread.
"Are you hungry? Here."
Lin Qiubai pierced a piece of rabbit meat with a sharpened wooden skewer and handed it to Lin Chuxue. She gently sniffed with her delicate nose, seemingly stirred by the fragrance that awakened her boundless appetite. She licked her red lips and then took the rabbit meat.
"Mm~"
Lin Chuxue let out a soft, charming sound that could easily be misunderstood. She opened her cherry-like mouth, exhaling in enjoyment, her delicate cheeks slightly puffed up in a childlike manner. However, the satisfaction and happiness on her face were unmistakable.
"Is it good?"
Lin Qiubai asked with a smile. The Little Girl nodded repeatedly, her eyes fixed on the skewer of rabbit meat in Lin Qiubai's hand, swallowing hard.
"Here."
Lin Qiubai teased Lin Chuxue, provoking a frown from the Little Girl as she playfully pouted.
He felt it was a bit mischievous, so he straightforwardly handed over the rabbit meat. Then he continued to grill more while enjoying his meal heartily.
The rabbit meat was tender and juicy, rich in flavor but not greasy. The Vital Energy diluted the richness while adding a refreshing sweetness, perfectly complemented by just the right amount of chili flakes. The combination was exquisite.
"Eat more, this is good for beauty and skin. Looking beautiful, you'll be captivating in the future."
Lin Qiubai's senses were immersed in the delicious food as she casually spoke, completely unaware that Lin Chuxue's face had turned bright red.
Soon, the two of them had devoured a plump rabbit and a deer cleanly. Of course, most of the meat ended up in Lin Qiubai's stomach. Lin Chuxue, being a girl, loved to eat but still wanted to maintain her demure demeanor.
After eating and drinking to their fill, Lin Qiubai stretched lazily, never having felt so relaxed before...
Her stomach felt a bit full, and she didn't want to move. Lin Qiubai simply rested her head on her hand.
The sun was shining brightly, warming her face slightly. The gentle breeze combined with the sunlight made her drowsy, and Lin Qiubai unexpectedly fell asleep peacefully.
At this moment, everything felt serene and beautiful.
To Lin Chuxue, this moment was also incredibly tranquil and lovely.
To make Lin Qiubai more comfortable while sleeping, she gently lifted Lin Qiubai's head and rested it on her well-proportioned thigh... quietly watching Lin Qiubai's relaxed face as she slept, her bright eyes radiated a strange brilliance.
As the sun began to set, she finally gathered her courage, pressed her finger to her lips for a gentle kiss, and then carefully brushed her finger across Lin Qiubai's forehead.
In that moment, it felt as if her heart had stopped beating...
