Sparkle: Little Grey Hair, I finally found you!

Lu Jiang's attention was entirely focused on this ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber at the moment.

He wondered how much slot value this Whale Rubber, bought with so much money, would provide him.

If it didn't even reach half, he'd be losing out big time.

However, Lu Jiang waited for a long time but didn't see Firefly make any move, so he curiously looked up.

He saw Firefly sitting by the bed, head lowered and silent, lost in thought.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Whatever it is, you can tell me."

Still, Firefly didn't speak.

Lu Jiang thought she was having trouble and was too embarrassed to speak.

So, he patted his chest and said:

"Helping a partner overcome difficulties is also something I, as a partner, should do. There's no need to be shy."

Firefly looked up, her face flushed crimson.

Like a dreamlike sunset, it stunned Lu Jiang.

That expression, combined with Firefly's pure features, struck the softest part of his heart.

It felt like returning to middle school, when he secretly had a crush on the school goddess.

Before Lu Jiang could speak, Firefly suddenly leaned in, propped herself on the bed with her limbs, and stared into his eyes, saying:

"Trailblazer, I... Although I'm not ready yet, if the Trailblazer wants children, I'll try my best!"

Firefly shouted this with all her might, seemingly having mustered immense courage to convince herself.

Lu Jiang froze upon hearing this. Having children????

Wait, he was only thirteen years old???

Lu Jiang coughed awkwardly, then scratched his head and said:

"Cough, cough. Uh. Firefly, you misunderstood."

"This Whale Rubber isn't for eating, it's for replenishing Soul Power."

"You know, I need to use my Martial Soul's abilities to summon people from our world, which consumes a lot of Soul Power."

Lu Jiang explained to Firefly.

Meanwhile, Firefly's mouth was agape in surprise, her lips trembling slightly.

When she realized she had completely misunderstood.

Steam wasn't just rising from her head; it was like boiling water.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe was secretly eavesdropping outside the door.

When he intermittently heard about Whale Rubber and having children, he covered his mouth in shock.

Having children? He was only thirteen!

However, despite his shock, he was the Young Master of the Martial Soul Hall after all. His strong mental fortitude allowed him to calm down quickly.

He hadn't expected Lu Jiang to be not only greedy but also a pervert.

Had he already experienced the affair of clouds and rain at such a young age?

However, Xue Qinghe didn't feel unhappy upon learning of Lu Jiang's greed and lust. Instead, he felt relieved.

The stronger Lu Jiang's desires, the easier it would be to win him over.

If he liked money, Xue Qinghe would lend him money.

If he liked women, Xue Qinghe would give him women.

Then, Lu Jiang would be firmly bound to him.

Xue Qinghe thought to himself, within the Heaven Dou Empire, what woman could tie down Lu Jiang?

In any case, she definitely couldn't be worse than Firefly, otherwise, why would he willingly stay here?

Suddenly, he thought of himself.

He wondered if he could do it.

Xue Qinghe's face turned hot before he even dared to think further.

He then quickly left the area.

In the bedroom, a large chunk of Whale Rubber was almost completely digested by Lu Jiang.

Firefly heated and softened the Whale Rubber in her hand, then thoughtfully blew on it a few times near her mouth before feeding it to Lu Jiang.

At this moment, Lu Jiang was fully focused on converting the Soul Power from the Whale Rubber, leaving him no time for anything else. He could only let Firefly feed him.

Fortunately, the results after converting the large chunk of Whale Rubber were quite astonishing.

It was initially estimated that fifty percent completion would be sufficient.

It has now directly increased to eighty percent.

There's about one-third of the Whale Rubber left. Once it's all refined, I can probably do another draw.

I wonder who I'll draw this time?

Soon, Lu Jiang finished refining all the Whale Rubber.

The progress of the slot value accumulation was just as he expected, directly reaching one hundred percent.

Finally, I can draw!

After the experiences of the past few days, he understood more and more that if he didn't want to be at the mercy of others, he could only improve his strength.

Only when he became powerful enough to make everyone look at him sideways could he truly become himself.

Another familiar draw interface. This time, Lu Jiang didn't hesitate and directly clicked to draw.

Then, a holographic train passed before him.

Instantly, golden light erupted from inside the carriage.

Another five-star???

Lu Jiang was shocked. Is the draw rate this high?

According to Lu Jiang's memory, there were no weak five-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail. No matter who he drew, it would be a significant improvement for him.

Then the carriage door opened, and a small figure slowly emerged from the air.

The girl was curled up in mid-air. Her signature twin ponytails and red and white fox mask already revealed her identity.

Lu Jiang's heart sank.

This is bad. Of all the people to draw, why her?

Isn't this Sparkle, the notorious lunatic from Honkai: Star Rail?

In terms of strength, Sparkle was indeed very strong. After all, she was a combatant on the level of an Emanator, even stronger than Firefly.

But her personality... She was the type to blow up someone's house and then offer to help put out the fire by replacing the water with gasoline.

In short, it was all about the fun.

As long as she could find some fun, she didn't care about anything else.

Lu Jiang held his forehead, a headache forming.

Just then, Sparkle slowly woke up.

Lu Jiang originally thought she would be a bit dazed upon seeing an unfamiliar environment and person for the first time.

So, he intended to explain the situation to her.

However, Sparkle suddenly pounced forward, throwing herself into Lu Jiang's arms.

"Finally found you! You haven't come to play with me in so long, so you were hiding here, Little Grey!"

Sparkle looked up, revealing a big smile.

The peach blossoms in her eyes shone exceptionally brilliantly under the sunlight.

Lu Jiang was even stunned for a moment.

Seeing the scene before her, Firefly became instantly jealous, her mouth puffing out like a bun.

Then, she stomped over, grabbed Sparkle's arm, and tried to pull her off Lu Jiang.

However, Sparkle's legs were tightly wrapped around Lu Jiang's waist, refusing to let go.

"Let go of the Trailblazer quickly! He just used up all his Soul Power and needs to rest!"

But Sparkle refused to let go, clinging to Lu Jiang like an octopus.

"No, no! I finally found Little Grey Hair, I must make him play with me!"

"Little Grey Hair, let's go find some fun together."

Sparkle looked into Lu Jiang's eyes and giggled.
